Beware! I'm typing up another chapter in one night! Yep, after feeling amazingly happy from reading the reviews, I decided that I might as well keep going! Who next? She's popular, beautiful and absolutely terrific. No, it's not me... although I am very modest about these matters, much more modest then other people, naturally... *gets slapped by Ryuuen* okay, okay, it's Shouka, sheesh!
Shouka
Ayuru, Kaen and I were in our usual spot,
smoking at the far edge of the oval. There is a wide open view towards
school so if a teacher comes towards us, we can stub out our ciggies in
the bushes.
"I can't believe those ferals bashed me up just because I insuted their gay friends!" Ayuru complained for the thousandth time.
"Yeah, this year level is filled with freaks!" Kaen agreed.
"The ferals, plus the gays, the brains, the "alternative" crowd and then us, the only decent people in this whole bloody school!" I complained.
"And the people here are weird! Your stalker, Shouka, he is the worst. I swear, my hand was fucking bleeding and he touches it and pow, it's fine again!" Kaen said.
"Stalker?" asked Ayuru, taking a drag of his cigarette and sounding concerned.
"Oh, just some guy who has a crush on Shouka. You should see him! You'd piss yourself laughing! Houjun, his friend, may be a bit geeky, but at least he's okay. Myojuan on the other hand..." Kaen said and then made a cruel but accurate impersonation of him.
"Stop it! He's not that bad! I think he's kinda cute like that!" I admitted.
"You're too good for him, Shouka. Don't lower your standards. Do you want to lose your reputation?" asked Ayuru, caringly, "I mean, Kaen is known as 'easy' but you... don't, okay?"
"Don't worry, Ayuru-kun, I won't," I said, stubbing my cigarette out and giving him a hug. Kaen was already leaning on his shoulder so I took the other one.
"When is Shunkaku back from holidays?" I asked.
"Soon, I hope," Kaen replied, coughing a little on the smoke.
"Yeah, he's... teacher!" said Ayuru suddenly. We'd been so preoccupied that we hadn't even seen him coming. Kaen threw her cigarette in the bush in panic, he was nearly onto us!
"What are you three doing?" he asked.
"Nothing!" called Kaen. I resisted the urge to shock him by announcing that were we having a passionate three-way love affair in the bushes. I sniffed the air.
"Hey, can you smell something burning?" I asked. As if in answer, the whole bush flared up, igniting the bushes near by. The teacher looked at us skeptically as he called for someone to bring a fire extinguisher over. While he was distracted, we ran like crazy. As soon as we were far enough away, we slowed down to a walk again as we turned a corner.
"What lesson do you have now?" asked Kaen.
"History," replied Ayuru.
"Japanese," Kaen said, after looking at her timetable. I grinned at them both.
"I have a free!" I said happily.
"Oh, you poor thing!" cooed Kaen, "I think you have it with Myojuan."
"I'll live," I said with a shrug but was
secretly pleased.
Skipsida's Ravings:
Yesterday I bought a translated Fushigi Yuugi manga. A very weird experience, it was reading it! The pictures were back to front to make it readable to people used to western style books but some pages weren't so it made Nuriko's mole and everyone's partings flip from side to side. Also, they used the Chinese names, not Japanese ones from the kanji, which made it confusing, ie.
"Who is Huan-luan and why does he look like Genrou? ARGH! He is Genrou, what have they done to you?!" and as well as that, they write the names: Fushigi Yugi, Yu Watase, Genro, Koji, etc. ARGH! Kill the people! It's confusing to hear about Hong-Nan instead of Konan and Qu-dong instead of Kutou! ARGH! *rips hair out* Well, now that the raving is over, it almost leaves me wondering... Tasuki, come out from behind that bush!
Genrou: Damn, caught! ^_~;;
