Chapter 2
A/N: Forgot to make an important note¡Kthe story¡¦s setting is when Yolei and the others are sophomore in high school (Ken skipped a grade¡Khe¡¦s a genius, right? =P) So Mimi¡¦s age is about 17 or 18¡K
¡§What? Mimi is getting married?¡¨
A shocking scream broke the silence of the morning.
¡§Yeah¡Kshe sent me an e-mail regarding that¡Kdidn¡¦t you receive it?¡¨ Kari said after she recovered from Yolei¡¦s scream.
¡§I got that e-mail too!¡¨ Davis said in a tone, as he knew everything. ¡§Her future husband is a mega rich guy, Mimi said that her wedding would be held on a cruise, too!¡¨
¡§A¡Ka cruise?¡¨ Yolei suddenly had some weird feelings in her heart. Hopefully, this wasn¡¦t the wedding cruise that she was going to work on¡K ¡§What¡¦s the date of the wedding?¡¨
¡§April 18.¡¨ T.K and Cody said together.
So¡Kshe was the only one who didn¡¦t receive Mimi¡¦s e-mail¡Kwell, maybe that was because she forgot to check it since yesterday¡Kbut WAIT a second¡Kthe date was APRIL 18!!! It was exactly the SAME date!!!
Yolei used all her strength to swallow her scream back to her stomach; she took out her D-terminal and opened it. The sign of ¡§You¡¦ve got Mail¡¨ was sprinkling. With her shaky hands, Yolei slowly clicked the ¡§open¡¨ button on the screen.
After she finished reading it¡K
The whole school building was in shock again.
Because, the bride that Yolei would take care of was Mimi.
The guy she was going to married was a famous rich guy,
And, Pammy¡¦s cousin.
In a beautiful, grand Mansion located in New York.
¡§Do you like this one, Miss Tachikawa?¡¨ A tall lady asked politely, holding a pure white headpiece.
¡§Um¡Kyeah¡Kit looks fine.¡¨ Mimi answered; she voice indicated that she was not very interested. Why am I acting like this? Mimi questioned herself. I should be happy about this marriage? I¡¦ve always dreamt of being a bride and having a handsome, rich husband. And most of all, I¡¦m going to have a wedding on a cruise!!!
But Mimi felt no happiness in her heart. She picked up the Tiara on the table and examined it.
¡§OH! This one is designed by a world famous fashion designer!¡¨ The tall lady smiled and explained. ¡§Look at the diamonds on the top! They are so big and so real! Each of them worth at least ten thousand dollars¡K¡¨
¡§Really? That was amazing!¡¨ Mimi tried to concentrate on the magnificent tiara before her. ¡§This is pretty.¡¨ She answered in a cheerful tone. The diamonds shone like stars in the night sky. Suddenly, they morphed into a pair of familiar pale blue eyes.
Mimi looked closer, but the eyes disappeared, and she felt the coldness on her cheeks. They were her tears. Slowly falling, onto the diamonds of her wedding Tiara.
¡§Why were you crying?¡¨
Mimi raised her head, and reached her future husband--Carlson¡¦s face. ¡§I¡KI think this is too pretty, so¡Kso I¡K¡¨ It was such a mild reason; even she didn¡¦t believe it herself. Mimi tried to think of some excuses that sounded better, but her brain just went completely blank.
¡§Well, I wish my bride to be the happiness bride in the world,¡¨ Carlson smiled, but there was no happiness in his eyes. ¡§We¡¦ll look at some other designs tomorrow, I¡¦m sure you¡¦ll like them.¡¨ He put Mimi¡¦s head on his arm.
¡§OK.¡¨ Mimi replied. She couldn¡¦t feel any warmth in his arms. Why did this happen? She felt that the guy that was hugging her was so¡Xso strange to her.
¡§Yolei!!!¡¨
¡§Sorry teacher¡Kwhat page is it? Ok! I found it. The evolution theory stated that a group of¡K¡¨
When Yolei sat down again with her lab group, Kari inquired, ¡§Yolei¡Kthat was close. Why are you daydreaming in the class? You know that she¡¦s the meanest Biology teacher in the world!¡¨
¡§I don¡¦t know¡K¡¨ Yolei shrugged her shoulder. ¡§But whenever I think of that Mimi¡¦s going to get married, I just get very hyper!¡¨
Yolei continued in a dreamy voice, ¡§¡Kand I get to watch the whole ceremony and attend the parties! That¡¦s just cool!¡¨
¡§Yeah¡Kbut did you guys notice some thing?¡¨
Kari, Yolei and Ken all turned to Cody.
¡§You know Mimi¡¦s wedding is going to be in Japan, but she never invited any of us to her wedding¡K¡¨ Cody said shyly, he was not use to facing so many curious eyes.
¡§That¡¦s true¡K¡¨ Yolei concerned. ¡§Does that mean¡KI¡¦m the only one going on the wedding cruise because I¡¦m going to work there¡K?¡¨
¡§It¡¦s strange. We¡¦re Mimi¡¦s best friends! She should invite us¡Kespecially when her wedding is held in Japan!¡¨ After the teacher has passed by their lab station, Kari whispered. ¡§Anyway, Yolei, you¡¦re not the only one going, Ken¡¦s going with you, right?¡¨
Ken knew that Kari was talking about the stupid invitation from Pammy. He sighed. ¡§I¡¦m not going because of Pammy.¡¨ This was probably the 1035 times he stated the same thing. Whenever he thought of her scary big eyes and sharp voice, sweats just come out of his pores uncontrollably.
¡§Of course not. If you go with her, we won¡¦t be friends anymore.¡¨ Yolei exclaimed.
¡§¡Kuh¡Kthat¡¦s why I¡¦m not going¡K¡¨ Ken thought hopelessly, no one believed him.
¡§I think¡K¡¨
Everyone turned to Cody again.
¡§I think we should give Mimi a surprise on her wedding day!¡¨ Cody blushed as he was speaking. ¡§Maybe that¡¦s why she didn¡¦t invite us¡Kshe is hinting us that we should surprise her!¡¨
Hinting?
That sounds like Mimi.
¡§Great idea!¡¨ Kari immediately agreed with Cody. ¡§We should meet with the older kids and discuss about it!¡¨
¡§Yup! We¡¦ll give Mimi the best wedding in the world!¡¨ Yolei cheered.
¡§I
can¡¦t believe it¡KMimi¡Kyou¡¦re actually getting married¡K¡¨
¡§Yes,
I am, mom.¡¨ Mimi sighed and looked back at her mom. This was the night before she and her family got onto the
plane to Tokyo, Japan. They were
checking their luggage for the last time.
¡§This
marriage¡K¡¨ Her mother continued. ¡§Mimi,
you¡¦re so lucky. I could never
imagine having Carlson Hashiga as my son in law! My god! He¡¦s
probably the richest guy in Japan!¡¨
¡§I
know¡KWhere¡¦s my lab top?¡¨
¡§It¡¦s
in your bag already.¡¨ Mimi¡¦s mother answered. ¡§Actually, Mimi, I think you should really put your mind on
the wedding and stop thinking about your friends. There will be very famous people coming to the ceremony and
party on the cruise, it will be an important¡K¡¨
¡§Ok.
Ok.¡¨ Whenever her mom started these ¡§Wedding Lectures¡¨, Mimi couldn¡¦t help it
but got very impatient.
¡§It¡¦s
not that I like to repeat these things over and over again, but you really have
to¡K¡¨
¡§I
think the phone is ringing? Why
don¡¦t you go take a look?¡¨ Mimi pushed her mom outside of her room.
¡§Alright,
have a good sleep.¡¨
¡§Good
night, mom.¡¨
After
closing the door of her room. Mimi
took out the lab top from her bag and opened it. As she had expected, her e-mail box was full.
¡§Sora,
Izzy, Tai, Cody, Kari, TK, Yolei, Davis, Ken, Michael¡K¡¨ Mimi slowly read out
the names that appeared on the screen. One name was missing, and Mimi knew it. Matt¡KShe called in her heart. She knew that he must be angry about her marriage, because
she broke their promise.
¡§But¡KI
have no choice¡K¡¨ Mimi whispered. ¡§Carlson
Hashiga is too powerful, my marriage will help my dad a lot on his company¡K¡¨
So
is that the reason she accept the propose from Carlson? Mimi questioned herself. She suddenly realized that she never
knew what her heart truly felt. Yes, this marriage had a lot of good sides, but she knew that she was
ignoring her heart when she made the promise¡K
Mimi looked outside of her window. The night sky was black, like her uncertain future¡K
