CHAPTER 10: Read My Shirt
SATURDAY NIGHT, 19:00 HOURS
CURRENT LOCATION: YONE-CHAN'S KAREOKE HOUSE!
RIMA'S POV:
I, Mashiro Rima, have officially hit rock bottom. I blushed all the fricking time throughout the entire ride! Oh dear Allah, I pray that Nagihiko doesn't notice, oh Buddha please! Oh my god he cannot know that I like him!
"We're here!" Kukai screamed as he exited the Limo and into the main building.
"There are special pills for people like him," I muttered. Nagihiko chuckled from behind me, and yet again I fricking blushed! I must not say anything funny for the rest of the night!
I'm sorry, I just can't. I mean it's not my fault I am so good at being funny. That's why people are naturally drawn to me!
Don't you dare say anything.
"Let's go, Rima-chi, Amu-chi!" Yaya squealed as she dragged us inside.
Once we entered, almost all the cool people from school were there! The important cheerleaders were there, the important basketball players, the other cheerleaders, the other basketball players, the hottest guys, the hottest girls, the richest girls, and the richest guys.
When we got there Kukai was already socializing giving people high-fives and such. I couldn't help but notice Utau was the center of attention. She was wearing a short red party dress. Lulu who wore short dark colored jeans and a purple camisole top was in the corner making out with some guy. Saaya stared absentmindedly in the distance next to Utau. She was wearing a black corset with pink lace, short and tight pink jeans, black stilettos, and pink ribbons in her hair. Major slut outfit I must say.
No seriously, how did she manage to leave her house like that without getting raped?
"Rima!" Yumi squealed appearing out of nowhere. She was wearing yellow jeans, a black tank top, a yellow and black striped scarf around her neck and black flip flops. Her black hair was let out as usual.
"Hey," I greeted.
"Ooh that shirt makes your boobs look big, and those jeans make your ass look…."
"Yumi! Shut up!" I hissed nearly stepping on her toe.
"Just saying, showing off your body during After Match is not a good idea, there are perverts everywhere," she said winking.
"Minazaki! Come look at Kamen's screen saver!" A voice from far off in the crowd called.
"Oops gotta go," She said winking and bouncing off.
Ikuto and Nagihiko met up with Kairi and they all chatted happily. Tadase was nowhere in sight. Amu, Yaya, and I talked to some girls from the squad about the Toyotomi cheer routine. I must say it was kind of fun to socialize. Not that I am gonna do it more often or anything.
"Alright everyone," Saaya said as she clapped her hands excitedly, "Our karaoke room is ready! This time around, Souma-kun will be managing everything so check in with him if you wanna sing, ok?"
Everyone cheered and followed the employee down the hall into the deluxe room. Apparently, Saaya's 'daddy' was paying for all of this.
Once inside everyone was all giddy and excited, talking to Kukai desperately wanting a turn. Kukai listened to everyone and wrote things down. After almost everyone talked to him excluding a few people, well only three to be exact…(Lulu, Nagihiko, and me).
"Alright!" Kukai squealed excitedly, "First up is, Hinamori and Ikuto!"
Everyone totally freaked out applauding like idiots.
Fricking but kissers.
O.O.O.O.
"So how were we?" Amu asked all excited as she clung onto Ikuto. She approached me and Yaya who were sitting on a couch in a corner.
"Ikuto is the gayest Ken in the universe,"
"You wish you could be gay like me," Ikuto criticized.
"Only a fag would say something like that," I sighed shaking my head in disapproval.
"He's my fag," Amu giggled.
"Amu why would you sing such a slutty song?" I inquired.
"What? It is not! It's Barbie! She is a doll! You used to have like 13 different Barbies!"
"The song is obviously about sex, and those dolls were for my prop comedy," I defended.
"Yeah, Yeah sure….."
"Alright," Kukai said anxiously, "Next up is Minazaki and Chiyami!"
So Yumi and this random child went up there singing this ridiculous duet making everyone laugh at how terrible Yumi was. I have to say this Karaoke thing is fun!
O.O.O.O
It was another 40 minutes before midnight and everyone had a turn. Now everyone was just going at random.
"Don't call my name! Don't call my name, Alejandro!" Saaya sang dramatically.
"Boo," Yumi muttered.
"Hey when you sang Paramore you made me go deaf in one ear so don't you dare boo anyone!" I hissed.
"At least I had fun, why don't you try singing, since you are so critical?"
"What! N-No!"
"Come on! Sing a duet with me!" Amu suggested happily.
"Don't you dare! No!" I screamed as, Amu, Yaya, and Yumi dragged me off of the couch and towards the mic. When I managed to escape, Kukai noticed us and, well, damned me to hell.
"Next we have Mashiro and Hinamori!"
"Who's Mashiro?" I heard someone ask.
"You know the pretty blonde girl, the cheerleader who patted Fujisaki on the head after the game,"
"Oh the one with the curly hair? She is so cute!"
"I know like a dolly!"
Are they blind? I am more like a ghost then a doll. Maybe a Voodoo doll.
Before I could blink I was in the front holding a mic, with Amu next to me grinning. Another thing Amu was good at was singing, and ever since she broke out of her shell there was no stopping her. Amu chose the song giggling.
"You sing the blue lyrics, and I sing the red. We both sing the purple," Amu explained.
"uh…." I stammered as I watched the crowd then I nodded slowly.
Alright here goes nothing…..
O.O.O.O
Alright let's see….purple ly-OH! It's time to sing!
"Where's my samurai?" Me and Amu sang together. Gosh this thing goes fast.
"I've been searching for a man, all across Japan," Amu sang gently. Oh look it's my turn, don't choke Rima!
"Just to find, to find my Samurai!" I added as beautifully as possible.
"Someone who is strong, but still a little shy,"
"Yes I need, I need my samurai!" I sang not too long after her. This was okay I guess….I was still a nervous wreck.
"Ai yai i yai I'm your little butterfly green, black, and blue make the colors in the sky!" Amu and I sang in harmony twice. When the music played Amu swayed a little, but I stayed still wanting it to end.
"I've been searching in the woods, and high upon the hills," Amu sang.
"Just to find, to find my Samurai!" I added yet again.
"Someone who won't regret, to keep me in his net,"
"Yes I need, I need my samurai!" I sang, hey this was kind of okay when you feel comfortable. It's just like singing along to the music videos at home only it feels more real! No one cares if you miss a note. This is for fun!
"Ai yai i yai I'm your little butterfly green, black, and blue make the colors in the sky!" We recited twice again.
"Ai yai i yai, Ai yai I yai, Where's my samurai?" We sang over and over again. Then the music got all slow and serious and I actually danced really stupidly with Amu, and people laughed. Then it went back to normal.
"Ai yai i yai I'm your little butterfly green, black, and blue make the colors in the sky!" We continued to chant.
"Ai yai I yai, Ai yai I yai, Where's my samurai?" We chanted again until the song ended and then for our finale we sang:
"Ai yai i yai I'm your little butterfly green, black, and blue make the colors in the sky!" Extra loudly!
"That one was for you Kairi!" Amu screamed into the microphone. I grabbed the mic from her laughing.
"Yes that was for you….Seiyo no Samurai! Seiyo's Samurai!"
People actually cheered. Kairi actually blushed.
O.O.O.O
"Alright you guys! We have time for about three more songs! Now everyone knows the tradition, right?" Kukai spoke into the microphone excitedly, "Well not everyone….so let me explain. We all vote who we want to see come back up here and sing, the top three will come up and have a contest. So far the champions have always been Utau, Saaya, and Lulu. I wonder how this will turn out?"
So everyone wrote on a piece of paper who they liked best and folded it up and tossed it in an empty tissue paper box. I wrote down Amu. Amu wrote down Yumi for a good laugh. Yaya wrote down Kairi, god knows why. Ikuto wrote down Amu. Nagihiko didn't want to vote but I forced him to write Amu.
"Alright the votes are in! Including mine….hehehe….anyway," Kukai announced, "The one who got the third highest amount of votes is….Hinamori Amu!"
"BOOM! TAKE THAT BITCHES!" Yumi screamed. Everyone applauded. Amu blushed slightly then waltzed over to the front and stood next to Kukai.
"Okay then, thanks for that Minazaki…." Kukai muttered, "Anyway the one who got the second highest amount of votes is….Hoshina Utau!"
"The tradition lives on!" Utau said snobbily, flipping one of her freakishly long pig tails.
"Alright shut up now," Kukai criticized, "Finally the one with the very most amount of votes is no other than…Mashiro Rima!"
Say what now?
"No," I said bluntly.
"What do you mean no?" Ikuto asked nudging me forward.
"No means no, choose Yumi or someone!" I suggested.
"You guys don't wanna be at risk of hearing deficiency disease do you?" Yumi threatened.
"RIMA! RIMA!RIMA!" Everyone chanted.
"Read my fucking shirt you assholes," I muttered. (you know the one that says 'shut up')
"Oushi-chi cursing will get you nowhere, just go up there and sing," Nagihiko nudged me.
"I can't I am…..nervous," I said blushing.
"Oh I understand now," Nagihiko said with a smile, "No wonder you were blushing all night, you are nervous at parties, aren't you?"
"U-Um!" I stammered.
"You're not usually nervous around me so I figured it out," Nagihiko explained with a smile, "Just pretend you are at home singing with Amu, Ikuto, Kukai and me."
"It's not that easy you can't just make 30 other teens disappear,"
"Then single one of us out, focus on that person and sing to them," He said with a smile then he practically pushed me forward and, with a sigh I made my way to the front and stood next to Utau.
"Alright, each of you will be competing for the grand prize!" Kukai announced.
"Which is?" Utau asked impatiently.
"A date with anyone on the basketball team of your choice!"
"WHAT?" Me and Amu screamed in synch.
"T-T-T-That doesn't i-i-i-include I-I-I-Ikuto, RIGHT!" Amu asked.
"Kukai, answer her, I have seen a side of her that nobody else knows about!" I whispered.
"U-Uh…well….yeah…"
"BUT HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!"
"Well, Amu, it's the rules, so too bad." Utau said with a smirk, "When I win the contest, I'll be sure to bring him home around…..3 a.m, okay?"
"LET'S CHOOSE THE SONGS ALREADY!" Amu commanded stomping her foot on the ground. This should be interesting. I laughed.
"This will be interesting," I giggled. I'll let them have their little competition while I sing the stupidest song I can find then ditch this competition.
Everything works out : )
"Hmm….between Ikuto or Nagihiko, I am not really sure….." Utau sighed trailing off, "well I'll just decide after I win…..oh did I say that out loud? Whoops…."
Motherfucker!
"Bitch can't even sing…." I mumbled rolling my eyes.
The crowd went 'oooooo'.
"What?" Utau asked raising her eyebrows a smile still in place.
"No one was talking to you, sweetie." I replied with a smile, "Kukai, can we hurry along this contest, please? Utau is starting to hallucinate that people actually pay attention to her,"
"Excuse but who is the hottest girl at this party?" Utau asked me rolling her eyes.
"I dunno, I think it's either between Amu, Saaya, and Yumi, why do you ask?"
"Everyone wants to talk to me, okay, Hun?" Utau snickered.
"Except Ikuto, did you forget him, Hun?"
"People only notice you, because you became a cheerleader, and you only became a cheerleader because of me!" Utau screamed.
"Bitch, don't flatter yourself, no one joins cheerleading because of you, who the hell wants to be in closer proximity to your sorry ass? You being there is what brings me down every day, I don't know where the hell you got the idea that anyone would join because of you!"
"," The crowd mumbled.
"Damn, is it me or is it getting hot in here?" Kukai asked like an M.C. Utau was red with anger.
Good, that'll teach you to try and date Nagihiko, Bitch. Especially just to piss me off.
I scared away the Toyotomi girl, I'll scare away your sorry ass!
"Alright let's go, Amu you first!"
Amu literally had a stormy cloud following her wherever she went, lighting striking, and thunder boomed with every step, she scrolled and scrolled until she found one.
"I'm ready," She grunted.
O.O.O.O
"I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim, I have a heart that will never be tamed, I knew you were somethin' special when you spoke my name, Now, I can't wait to see you again" Amu sang doing her own little dance to the beat.
Somehow, she seemed more angry than in love.
"I've got a way of knowin' when somethin' is right I feel like I must have known you in another life
'Cause I felt this deep connection when you looked in my eyes, Now, I can't wait to see you again," She continued in the same pace.
"The last time I freaked out, I just kept lookin' down,I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me My best friend Lesley said, "Oh she's just being Miley" She sang more upbeat , "The next time we hang out, I will redeem myself
My heart it can't rest 'til then Ooh whoa whoa I, I can't wait to see you again"
"I got this crazy feelin' deep inside, When you called and asked to see me tomorrow night, I'm not a mind reader but I'm readin' the signs, That you can't wait to see me again,"
"The last time I freaked out, I just kept lookin' down, I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout, Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me,My best friend Lesley said, "Oh she's just being Miley" She sang again, only this time she was doing an impressive dance this time.
"The next time we hang out, I will redeem myself, My heart it can't rest 'til then, Ooh whoa whoa I, I can't wait to see you again!"
"I got this crazy feelin' deep inside, When you called and asked to see me tomorrow night, I'm not a mind reader but I'm readin' the signs, That you can't wait to see me again"
Etc.
After Amu finished She let out a loud sigh and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Alright, let's look at the score board!" Kukai announced, then he motioned towards the screen.
The numbers jingled for a while until it made a loud jingle and the numbers became visible.
89/100
"89% Wow you're awesome!" The audio sounded. Utau giggled and snatched the mic from Amu's hands.
"My turn," She snickered. She scrolled and scrolled until he found one that satisfied her.
"Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy" Utau sang doing her annoying slut dance, "Put my glasses on, I'm out the door - I'm gonna hit this city"
"Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack, Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back!" She sang then the music got all upbeat.
"I'm talking - pedicure on our toes, toes, Trying on all our clothes, clothes, Boys blowing up our phones, phones, Drop-toping, playing our favorite cds, Pulling up to the parties…..Trying to get a little bit tipsy!"
Etc.
"Well let's look at the scores!" Kukai announced as Utau finished. Yet again, the numbers jingled until it stopped at:
90/100
"90% You go girl!" The karaoke machine announced.
"Well Amu, such a shame, you performed well," She snickered.
Everyone turned and looked at me.
Oh, hell no. Amu and Utau were both amazing singers, I couldn't compete.
"Rima I feel terrible, I was so angry I couldn't let my emotions go in the song, and now I lost! It's up to you! Choose a song you know," Amu begged me, "We have to win, she might choose Nagihiko, remember?"
"I know but…" I groaned. This is a disaster!
Then I remembered what Nagihiko said to me about singling people out and singing to one person in the entire crowd. Amu just said she didn't let her emotions go…..maybe…..if I let my emotions for Nagihiko go I could…..not suck.
Well, it's worth a try.
"Pass the Mic, Utau."
