Gotta be you
Chapter 3- Chasse's Search
Life was going so good now, Jean didn't want anything to interfere. She gently broke it to Samson that she didn't want a boyfriend just yet. Kyoka, Anna, and her met a few other women their age, named Ramona, Chasse, and Patty. But, very suddenly, something happened that caught her off guard.
She woke up the first day of Summer to see a note tacked to her door. It said:
"To Jean, What is your problem? You're always going around, singing stupid songs and being hyper. I don't like hyper people. Chill or die. -Anonymous."
"WHAT?!" she exclaimed. Of COURSE she sang, she loved to sing. She was hyper by nature.
"Hey Jean!" Kyoka called. She waved and ran over.
"Hey! Look at this!" she said angrily, shoving the note at her. Kyoka read it over, and her mouth dropped when she finished.
"SOMEone's got a problem." Jean folded the note up neatly and pocketed it.
"Yeah...wonder who?" Kyoka pondered.
"Dunno, let's ask Anna."
"Anna? I thought maybe Chasse..."
"Why Chasse?"
"Anna's out of town."
"OOH...."
At that, they both laughed.
"No, seriously, you should tell SOMEONE."
"Like who?"
"Like Cha-"
"HELLO, WORLD!" someone screamed, banging through the entrance. She was tall, with mid-shoulder-length brown hair and hazel eyes.
"WHO are YOU?!" Kyoka asked.
"Elyssa Loffredi!" Elyssa said happily.
"Um...hello Leezul!" Jean said.
Elyssa raised an eyebrow. "LEEZUL?" she asked, like tar was burning in her mouth.
"Leezul!! It's a cool nick name, no?"
"Um...yeah, whatever."
"So did you just move here?" Kyoka asked.
"Yeah!! I came from New York!!"
"New what?"
"You don't know what New York is?!"
"Um...no."
"It's a big city."
"Oh."
Jean giggled insanely. Kyoka described it as insane, anyway.
"So where will you stay?" Kyoka prodded.
"The empty house in town," Elyssa said simply.
"Oh. Well, we've got to go, bye!" Kyoka grabbed Jean's arm and they rushed off.
"Okay, let's talk to Chasse," Jean said tiredly.
"'Kay."
So they walked up to a small pink cottage near the hill with a sign out front that said "Chasse's house. Visitors welcome!" They knocked, and a very tall woman their age walked out. She had black hair with a green streak running down the middle, brown eyes, and a flower woven in her hair.
"Hey guys!" she said happily.
"'Lo, Chasse!" they said.
"What's up?"
"Um...take a look-see at this." Jean handed her the note. Chasse's eyes darted back and forth as she read it, then she slapped it down.
"Good God, Jean! What'd you do?!" she exclaimed.
"That's it! Nothing!!!" Jean said worriedly.
"Hm...well that's just odd!"
"Yeah."
"What should I do about it?" Chasse was well known for being a detective.
"Dust for finger prints? Take handwriting samples?" Kyoka suggested. She was worried about her friend's safety.
"We-ell...it would be kind of hard finger-printing the whole village without them knowing it. Or taking their handwriting samples."
"Hmm...you're right," Jean said thoughtfully.
"Have you ever just kept an eye out when you're walking through town? Just seeing if someone gives you a mean look?"
"Nooo...but that's a good idea!"
"Then let's go!"
So they walked through town, scooping out people. Franky and Samson, who were talking to Anna outside the post office, waved to them. Anna grinned and said "Hi!"
Cece, Lillian, Mayor, and Isabelle (the baker's wife) were gossiping in the square. They simply waved and kept on talking.
Todd and a short man with a camera gave them a cheery smile and a hello. They waved and kept going.
By the time they got back to Chasse's hut, everyone had just smiled, waved, and said hi.
"THIS IS VERY ANNOYING!" Jean cried. Chasse and Kyoka looked frustrated.
"Yeah, very. But you should still keep an eye out," Chasse said.
"And don't stop being yourself," Kyoka added.
"Yeah, I've gotta be me!" Jean said. They walked inside to get something to eat.
