Recap:
I walked away from him and walked out the doors of the school.
Hibari not telling about the dance made me paranoid. Did he not want me to go? Is he gonna kick me off the Disciplinary Committee? Does he hate me even more? SO MANY QUESTIONS!
I arrived at my apartment and took a nap. Later I woke up and it was around 6pm. The door bell rang. I got up and went to the door and opened it. It was Hibari.
"Fransisca, go to the dance with me." He ordered.
Chapter 9:
"Are you asking me?" I question a little confused.
"It's an order, herbivore." Hibari stated calmly "You'll have to come anyway and of course dress up properly."
"Properly? You mean like…fancy?"
"Yes, I'll pick you up around 6pm."
"But it's about two months away…and…do you wanna go for a walk around the park with me?"
Hibari eyed me oddly.
"Why?"
"Because, I wanna go for a walk, and it's getting dark."
"So?"
I sighed.
"I don't wanna get hit on…there's a bunch of pervs out there."
"You can take care of yourself."
"But I don't wanna get hit on!"
"Then don't go."
"Fine."
I walked back into my apartment complex and sat on the couch leaving Hibari at the door. I heard the door close and then his footsteps coming closer and saw his figure sit next to mine.
We sat in silence for the most part. I didn't mind though, it was relaxing. Then I realized I haven't eaten dinner yet.
"Hibari-san, do you want something to eat?"
"…sure."
"What would you like?"
"A hamburger."
I got up and went to the kitchen. I took out the frying pan and two hamburger patties and waited for them to cook. When they were done I fixed them up, put them on a separate plate and took them into the room from which I came.
"Here you go." I said stoically.
"Arigato."
I handed him his plate and he took it. He took a bite.
"Wow, that actually good herbivore." he said.
"Arigato." I said diffidently.
I sat down next to him and began eating my own. I swear out of the corner of my eye I swear I saw him staring at me. I just shook it off though.
After I got done cleaning the plates I walked back into the living room and noticed Hibari standing at the door.
"Are you leaving?"
"I have to go back to the school, I'll see you tomorrow."
"But tomorrow's Sunday."
"I know that you'll get bored and wanna come see me."
"…."
"I'm right and you know it, herbivore."
"shut up." I mumbled so he wouldn't hear it.
"Well, see ya."
With that he left me alone. Alone once again…with nothing to do…THIS IS GOING TO DRIVE ME CRAZY! Maybe I should get a pet or something…though I don't have enough money. Darn it…oh well I guess I'll have to get another job.
The next day I was out looking for jobs. Soon I came across a help wanted sign at a Maid-Café. Might as well, I thought. I walked in and asked for the manager. He interviewed me and I got the job.
"Here's your outfit!" the manager said handing it to me.
It looked like a maids outfit. It was purple with blue lace and a white apron.
"When can I start?" I questioned.
"Tomorrow after school if that's fine by you!" she yelled.
"The sooner the better!" I stated.
Goal one has been achieved.
I walked down the street into a nearby pet shop. I looked around and went to where they had the puppies. I looked at all them but what popped out was a cute little terrier:
I want it. I thought. The puppy then started to wag its tail and jumped up at me. OMG SO ADORABLE! :D I put my hand up to the cage and it started to lick it.
"If your interested in that dog you should take it home today." The lady at the counter said.
"I probably don't have enough money on me yet." I said.
"How much do u have on you now?" I pulled my money out of my pocket and counted 100 dollars.
"I only have 100." I said.
"Well I'm desperate enough because they plan on closing this shop down soon and I have to get rid of all the animals, so I'll sale him to you for 50 bucks." "OMG! Thank you! But how much will dog food be-" I was cut off. "Excuse me but how much do I pay for this?" it was Hibari putting a bag of bird food on the counter. "H…Hibari-san?" I questioned. I was a little shocked because he wasn't in his school uniform. He was wearing a grey and black striped jacket with a red shirt underneath, black jeans and red shoes. Casual clothing.
"Hi herbivore." he said nonchalantly.
"This will be 9.99." the lady said.
Hibari handed her the money and grabbed his bag.
"What are you doing here herbivore?" Hibari asked me. I then noticed Hibird on his head.
"I'm getting a puppy." I said happily.
"…that one right there?" he asked staring at the terrier.
"Yep."
He bent down and put his hand up to the cage and the terrier pup did the same thing to him as it did to me. Hibari smiled at this. I guess Hibari is really good with animals surprisingly.
I bought the puppy, a leash and collar, and some dog food. I carried both in my arms.
"Let me hold the dog food before you drop the dog." Hibari ordered.
"Oh thanks." I said with a smile.
He grabbed my bags and began walking. Now I gotta figure out a name for this little guy.
"What are you gonna name him?" Hibari asked. I think he reads minds.
"Hmm I'm thinking." I said. "how about Animado." "Animado?"
"It means Lively in Spanish." I said smiling. Animado barked saying that he liked the name and jumped up and started licking my face. "Well then Animado it is." I smiled.
We walked in silence for a little bit until Hibari surprisingly broke the silence.
"What's with this maid outfit?" he asked holding it up properly to see the whole thing.
"I got a part-time job at a Maid-Café." I answered.
"Last night you complained about not wanting to get hit on and now you're working at a Maid-Café?" he questioned.
"Well I need the money." I stated.
"And what about after school activities?"
"Last time I checked you don't give me any." "…whatever…" He turned away.
We arrived at my house. I asked Hibari to put my dress in my room while I fed and gave water to Animado.
(Hibari's POV)
I walked to the back and found Fransisca's room. It was fairly messy; clothes were lying around everywhere. I did my best to ignore the mess and put the maid outfit on her bed. I was about to walk away until I saw a piece of paper out of the corner of my eye. I decided to open it up. It read:
Dreaming
Dreaming is like a falling star with wings
Sometimes you are up but sometimes you fall.
I dream of life that is an empty hall.
I dream of the beauty of nature's kings
And how we fall from life's great empty swings
I can be anything I please, a ball
Perhaps a wild beast that enjoys a call
Waking from a dream can be a hard part
Most will want to keep the good dream alive
Other's prefer waking from a nightmare
Sometimes taking an empty broken heart
Can be for the best or the worst nose dive.
But some can be dreaming without a care.
Why write a poem about dreaming? I wondered. I folded the poem back up and placed it back on the desk I walked out the room and back in the kitchen.
(Fransisca's POV)
After Animado was done eating he came up to me wagging his tail and jumping on me
"Hey Animado!" I said cheerfully. Soon enough he started to run around the house checking everything out leaving me alone with Hibari.
"Fransisca?" he asked.
"Yes?"
"How are you going to manage school, being on the disciplinary committee, have a part time job and take far of Animado?"
I stared at Hibari in shock. I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! WHAT MADE ME THINK I HAD TIME TO TAKE CARE OF A DOG?
"CRAP!" I basically yelled.
"You're slow you know that?" Hibari teased.
"But…what am I going to do? I don't wanna get rid of him." I said with puppy eyes ignoring his taunt.
"You don't have to get rid of him, I have an idea."
"What's your idea?"
"I'll come by your apartment to take care of him while you're at work." Hibari…is doing something…nice…again. WHY!
"I'll just need your spare key." he continued.
"What do I owe you?" I asked.
"I'll think about that when the time comes." he smirked.
I gave him my extra key and then he left. I have a feeling that I'm going to be seeing a lot of Hibari.
