"Oh come on! It's just a concert!" Sori said as she skipped down the road with Lei-fang. Their uniforms seemed out of place in the setting, but there WERE going to a Americanized school.
"On a school day. Besides, I've got practice." Lei-fang countered, getting a sigh from Sori.
"Practice, study, practice, study, practice.... always the perfect child." Sori teased when Lei-fang glared at her friend from the corner of her eye.
"There is no such thing as 'perfect'. It's only a word which causes us to go in circles." Lei-fang said, Sori mimicking her.
"Always the same thing Lei-fang. Anyway, how was the Algebra test?" Sori asked.
"It was okay, but I don't know how well I did on question 24. I got 5x times 6b squared plus 3..." Lei-fang said.
"I believe it was 5x times 6 b squared plus 4..." Allen said, running up to Lei-fang, Jann Lee walking slowly from behind.
"Oh! Hello Allen. How do you like America?" Lei-fang asked in English, surprising not only Allen, but Jann Lee as well.
"I never knew you could speak english!" Allen blurted out surprised.
"Her dad's sister in law is from America!" Sori stated proudly, earning a glare and blush from Lei-fang and a wide smile from Allen.
"Well then, are you planning to visit the states some time?" He asked in English, leaving Sori totally in the dust.
"I doubt it. She wouldn't fit in." Jann Lee said in near perfect english. Lei-fang glared at Jann Lee and earned a frown from Allen.
"Like you would? I doubt you could even survive there for a week!" Lei-fang snapped.
"Umm..."
"Seriously Jann Lee, I believe Lei-fang would fit perfectly there."
"Guys?"
"Hah! She'll get scared and come crying back to mommy." The wrong thing to say Jann Lee, VERY wrong.
"YOU JERK!" Lei-fang said, no longer speaking english. "How dare you!" Lei-fang moved to slap him, only to have her wrist caught by his free hand. She suddenly Kneed him in the stomach, causing him to wince, but he still stood. Pulling her wrist free, Lei-fang stormed away, leaving a confused Jann Lee, a worried Allen and a sighing Sori.
"What? What did I say?" Jann Lee asked.
"Jann Lee..." Sori glanced shyly at Jann Lee, slightly infuriated at the denseness of the guy. But then again he most likely didn't know. "Her mother died last year of cancer."
"Well YOU certainly blew this one up Jann Lee..." Allen commented sarcastically in English.
"Shut up." Jann Lee hissed in english back. Sori, now mad at the fact they were speaking in a language that she couldn't understand, left the 2 men to their starting argument. Looking into the sky, Sori let out a mournful sigh. *Lei-fang...*
Sitting at her desk, Lei-fang twirled her pencil in her hands. Her room was plain and simple. Her desk was facing the window, the farthest corner housed her vanity table and her dresser, her bed was in another corner of the room. It was an European bed, a canopy bed. The transparent red cloth made a startling contrast to the rose red blanket. The embroidered phoenix spread it's wings in flight as it flew across the red sky of the blanket. It was one of the last things she had of her mother's. Her mother was talented in the embroidering of silks and fine cloths, always seemingly busy with orders from clients. But she never neglected Lei-fang nor her father. They were very close, her father and her mother. Then she died last year and her father grew colder, no, not colder... distant. He still loved her, but it seemed that whenever he saw her, he saw her mother. Focusing at the problem at hand, she figured out the last question and then closed her huge book. Standing, she picked up a medium sized wooden chest. Sitting on the plush carpeted floor, she opened it to reveal a bolt of silk and a few delicate needles. Taking both out and some thread, she spread out the cloth, revealing a phoenix design of her own. She thought it to be a poor contrast to her mother's, although her friends said it was fantastic, but she could improve. Threading the needle, she began to continue the masterpiece.
Punching randomly in the air, Jann Lee let his frustrations loose of the poor punching bag. It took blow for blow, not once complaining when there was a call from back. Turning, Jann Lee saw his rival for the top spot, Tae. Tae was a friendly guy with chin long black hair and brown eyes that shone with contempt and happiness. Jann Lee didn't consider him a foe though, just someone to kick around.
"Master wanted us to talk to him later. But for now, how about we hits the showers?" Tae said, his head pointing to the suggested location. Jann Lee pondered over this and then shrugged his agreement. But before he could there was an auditable click and They turned to the sound only to find a girl run out. Both letting out loud sighs, Tae looked at Jann Lee.
"The girls still after you?" He asked.
"Yep..."
"Heh, why don't I get the girls?" Tae asked, walking toward the showers, Jann Lee beside him.
"You don't have the looks, charm, nor the mysterious persona." Jann Lee jokingly said. They both smirked when there was a cry. Looking at the open door way they were about to pass, a girl stood there, slowly moving before performing a series of moves. Her practice outfit, which consisted of a simple loose Long, white shirt and cotton pants, swirled after her movements. Her hair was tied up in an unusual way. They were long braided pigtails which then circled her ears on both sides. Tae and Jann Lee stared at her, the latter not realizing it.
"She's here..." Tae murmured, causing Jann Lee to snap out of it.
"You mean Lei-fang?" Jann Lee asked, receiving a zombie like nod from Tae. Raising a eyebrow, he smirked and then grabbed Tae's ear. That both snapped Tae out of his trance, but also caused him to give a shout of pain. The girl twitched but didn't jump. 'Strong willed aren't we?' Jann Lee though before dragging Tae away. A few feet away, Jann Lee let go of his hold and let the glowering Tae rub his ears.
"What was that for?!?" Tae asked.
"You were about the flood the whole basement floor with your drool lover boy." Jann Lee said, smirking as Tae let out an undignified huff. Slowly the frown on Tae's face transformed into a sly smirk.
"I wasn't the only one..." Tae shot back. Caught, Jann Lee blushed slightly before hitting Tae on the back of his head.
"Me? Fall in love with a twig like her?" Jann Lee quickly replied.
"A twig? I certainly do NOT look like a twig!" A voice said from behind them. Turning around suddenly, they found a angry Lei-fang glaring at them. Well at Jann Lee anyway.
*You know, she's cute when she's angry*
SHUT UP!
"You certainly aren't as well endowed as the other girls in school." Jann Lee quickly said. Lei-fang let out a huff and brushed past them. She paused at the corner and then turned.
"Well then. Meet me at the South school clock at 3 pm tomorrow Wanna be and then I'll show you what this TWIG can do!" Lei-fang said before going into the girl's showers. Stunned, Jann Lee stood there for 3 seconds till he realized something.
"Wanna be? WHAT THE..." Jann Lee began, but Tae hastily stopped him.
"Language! Don't wanna make the master mad!" Tae said. Jann Lee mumbled under his breath a chain of swears before going into the boys showers, Tae following with a smug smile, and the faint underlining of jealously under his voice.
"On a school day. Besides, I've got practice." Lei-fang countered, getting a sigh from Sori.
