Chapter 5
¡§But they are my
friends!!!¡¨ Mimi cried. Her chest
was stuffed with anger. She fell
back to the seat helplessly. This
conversation was like an endless maze that would never get anywhere.
¡§Listen, Mimi,¡¨ Carlson said patiently, his eyes were looking at
the ceiling of the living room. ¡§I
can¡¦t just let your friends sit on the front row and leave my business partners
behind. You have to understand
what¡¦s more important!¡¨
¡§I know what¡¦s important!!¡¨ Mimi yelled back. ¡§To you¡Xyour wealth is important! Why don¡¦t you just marry your money!!¡¨
¡§I¡K¡¨ Carlson swallowed the things he was going to say back to
his throat. He was getting too
provoked, and he needed to keep a clear head, always. ¡§Ok. I¡¦ll let
them come and sit on the fifth row or something during the ceremony¡K¡¨
¡§Yeah!!¡¨ Mimi ran to get her pen as Carlson was finishing his
sentence, before she ran out of the living room, she turned back and give
Carlson a ¡§V¡¨ sign, ¡§Hopefully it¡¦s not too late to send invitations!¡¨
Carlson didn¡¦t reply. The fear in his heart was growing. Since the day he first saw Mimi, he was trying to get her¡Xbut she always
looked as if she could slip away at any moment.
¡§I won¡¦t,¡¨ Carlson said to himself in a low voice. ¡§Let anything happen to separate us.¡¨
¡§I heard that¡K¡¨ Ayuki saw Yolei¡¦s expression¡Xwarning of
explosion¡Xso she stopped her sentence.
¡§NO, No, no, no, no.¡¨ Yolei shook her head. ¡§I didn¡¦t do anything.¡¨
¡§Really¡K? You can
tell me the truth, I won¡¦t tell anybody¡K¡¨
¡§That IS the truth¡K¡¨
¡§But¡KI really have to know!! Gosh!!¡¨
Yolei¡¦s face was frozen like ice. She sat down on her seat and didn¡¦t spill a word from her
tightly shut mouth.
Since she stepped into the school, the similar conversations
have been repeated over and over again for a hundred times. She soon learned that Pammy was
spreading all these rumors:
¡§Ken said that Yolei was her girl friend.¡¨
That¡¦s true¡Kwell¡Kpartially true.
¡§Ken and Yolei are in love now.¡¨
OK. She can go with
that. But¡K
¡§Ken will soon dump Yolei.¡¨
What? They aren¡¦t
even in a relationship! Plus, she
would never be dumped by anybody! Oh well¡K She¡¦ll dump the guy before he could dump her.
¡§¡KAnd Pammy will become Ken¡¦s new girl friend.¡¨
For that rumor, Ken has become the luckiest guy in the whole
school, because Pammy was well known of her beauty and wealth. She was the goddess in many boys¡¦ eyes.
Of course, Ken had a totally opposite thought on that, first of
all, he realized that his plan has totally failed¡Xit was probably the most
foolish thing he has ever done. The worse thing was, he didn¡¦t know if he and Yolei should continue
fooling Pammy¡Xand everyone.
Well, from that look on his friends¡¦ eyes, he guessed he had to
finish this broken comedy.
¡§Oh, Ken, I don¡¦t know how you can grab Pammy¡¦s attention?¡¨ Davis
cried.
¡§I don¡¦t know either!!¡¨ Ken¡¦s temper was on the edge of
explosion.
¡§Man, she¡¦s my dream girl since first grade!!¡¨ Tom, their soccer
teammate complained. ¡§Ken, you¡¦ve
broke my heart.¡¨
¡§I¡¦m sorry. But I
really don¡¦t like Pammy. So you don¡¦t
have to worry about that.¡¨ Ken touched his forehead; he was getting a headache.
¡§Yeah right.¡¨ No one believed him.
Oh Man¡KKen really hoped that lunchtime would come sooner. He needed to figure out another plan
with Yolei.
It was the night of performance. Mimi remembered, as she was writing the invitations.
She was a princess in the play¡Xshe has already forgotten what
story she was performing¡Xbut she still remembered the fancy dress she wore: the
blue and purple ribbons, the detailed, flowery decoration on her dress.
After the last scene, her friends said that they¡¦d go to the
little park on the seashore to celebrate. And Sora refused to let her change back to her normal clothes. ¡§Mimi, you look like a real princess,¡¨
Sora smiled.
So all of them rushed to the little park. And then Tai found that they needed
more soda, so everyone ran to get soda¡Xwell, not everyone, Matt and she stayed,
because she couldn¡¦t run with her costume.
¡§Why didn¡¦t you go with them?¡¨ She asked.
¡§Because you¡¦ll be alone here if I went.¡¨ He said.
¡§Oh,¡¨ She smiled. ¡§I¡¦m not afraid of dark.¡¨
¡§But a princess needs a knight.¡¨
His answered has stopped the night wind from blowing. Mimi could hear her heartbeat. The air was silent, but sweet.
¡§Look at the stars,¡¨ Matt said, but he was looking at Mimi.
Mimi turned her head toward the sky. There were a lot of stars. She never knew that she could see so many stars in a city.
¡§I know a place you¡¦ll really like.¡¨ Matt held Mimi¡¦s hand. She realized how cold his hand was.
They went to the beach. The sky and sea were linked at the horizon. The stars shone like diamonds on the black cloth.
¡§I have never seen a meteor before,¡¨
¡§Me neither.¡¨ Mimi answered.
¡§We¡¦ll see one someday. And I¡¦ll catch the star for you.¡¨
¡§Not only one, I want many, many more.¡¨ I want those, as bright
as your eyes.
Sure, the knight promised. Because.
The knight would do anything for a princess.
However.
A princess needs a prince to prove her royalty.
So. Therefore. After all.
A knight could only leave, and, disappeared with the fallen
star.
A/N: hmm¡Kit seems like that more people like
Kenyako. But, I like Mimato,
too. Don¡¦t worry, the Kenyako part
will be getting better. :^_^:
because it¡¦s my fav. Couple!!!
Anyway, I think
this chapter is pretty short?
And on more
thing, I usually update the story at night, about 9:30 to 10:00, I live in CA,
so this is the pacific time, I guess.
A/N (two
days later): Ahhh!! I have made some stupid mistakes. I¡¦ve changed them already *^^*
