Just An Illusion Of Passion

~*~ Chapter Six: Tokyo, here I come ~*~


May 23rd 1999:

The ball was better than what I had been expecting. Marron had dressed me up like a princess. Actually hardly anyone recognised the little Panny they are used to seeing.

Even Uncle Goten whistled when he saw me coming out after Marron and I blushed heavily...

I'm not used to all these dresses and all... I rather wear my jeans and tie my hair with my orange bandana (A.N.: I had to put in that bandana somewhere ) .

I felt a whole new person with this change of clothes. As we got into the hi-school premises I could see a number of guys eying me and the girls wondering who I could be.

I can't believe the whole town with whom I grew up could not make me out.

Marron and Goten were on the dance floor straight away and, while I as looking at them, I saw Jason, a guy I was mad over, coming towards me.

He asked me for a dance and I accepted... the dance turned into two, and then three...

He touched my forehead and leaned down to kiss me. I was surprised and backed off. All these years he had been ignoring me and virtually laughing at me with his friends and now, he was seducing me???

There must be something wrong here.

I looked at him with wide eyes. He was surprised too as he tried to kiss me again and I tilted my head away. I don't recall anyone having said no to him.

I asked him if he knew who I was and he answered negative. I told him that I would not want to make out with someone I don't know anything about the person.

He answered back saying that if the girl is good looking, the rest does not matter == that is his opinion.

He then asked my name and when I told him my name's Melissa.

He told me I was I good looking chick. With that comment I felt hurt and deceived... but no longer had I stopped dancing with Jason that Nigel came into the scene... and then Thomas... Steve... and so many more.

I was incredible that none of them recognised me.

It was then time to vote for Miss Orange Star 1999. I obviously put Marron's name. I must tell you by the way that there are way more male students than females.

To my greatest surprise as well as for everyone else... the votes were favourable to a certain Melissa... that was me !!!

As Marron looked at me with a puzzled look I was really feeling bad, as though I stole something. I somehow when up stage and I was given the crown and a bouquet of roses... red beautiful roses. I was then asked to tell a speech...

This is what I told all of them

" I want to thank you all for voting for me. I'm surprised not to say confused to have received this title... as all of you seem not to know me... It's because of looks that I was chosen... In normal circumstances, all of you would not have even spoken to me and even less dance with me... I can see you all are surprised but my name is not Melissa but Pan"

With that last phrase everyone gasped.

Jason then whistled and said "the tomboy turning into a princess" which made me go mad. Is that all that counts? Looks?

Don't you guys see anything else other than that?

I was totally pissed off and there again Marron was there for me. She came and congratulated me... I really like her.

Goten did the same and then everyone else did... except for Mina and Lucy the two gossip spreaders of the town.

Well, I guess on the whole I would qualify this night as interesting and exciting... Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that I made out with Mike but that was because I drank a little too much punch ^_^

November 01st 2001:

Finally I got an answer for my work experience!!! I can't believe I'll be working in this accounting firm in Tokyo. It's way too cool. I won't be paid but at least working for Tokaccounts will be a great plus in my CV later in life.

That's really great. I'll be starting in two weeks time. Some of my university friends haven't found anything... and in order to pass this class, work experience and a report is needed.

From my university in Osaka to working in Tokyo...well I'm glad of my course.

Mom and Dad will probably be upset that I won't be seeing them for sometime as Tokyo is not that close from my little town... and the train Tokyo - Satan City is quite expensive and from there I have to take a bus... so it's quite absurd...

Tokyo... reminds me of Tunks...He works there, right? Gosh, I miss him like anything... but... no I can't just go and see him, can I? I don't want to look like a looser. No I'm sure I'll find interesting things to do in Tokyo, and friends... and I'm sure I won't be having anytime to think of him... I hope.

November 13th 2001:

I came yesterday home to pack to see my parents before heading to Tokyo. My father as usual is grumbling and telling me that I should not be going so far away.

He's overprotective... it gets annoying but I find that really cute as well. He cares about me. As for my mom, she is constantly telling me the do's and don'ts.

Granma Chichi has prepared tons of food... I guess that's the reason why my bags weight a ton.

I'm so exited...I'll be staying at my father's best friends house... Piccolo. I call him Uncle as he's like part of the family and took care of my father when he was young.

Uncle Piccolo is rather stranger and moody... but even though he won't admit it, he is really a kind hearted person. He is very reserved and keeps to himself...

I don't think he's spoken to anyone other than my father and hopefully now me.

If I don't stop writing now, I'll miss the train... so that's it for now I guess.

November 29th 2001:

It's been about ten days I've been working at Tokaccounts. The work is really great and the people are extremely nice... All maybe not... I have difficulties speaking with Samira and she's always aggressive with me... I guess I'm the same towards her.

Work is great: I'm helping small companies to do their accounts... it's really interesting and so much variety. I've looked into the accounts of supermarkets to wheat producers or even sex shops.

I was rather reluctant but I must say its quite interesting and that's where most accounting work is needed. My parents freaked out when I told them about that whereas Marron and Uncle Goten were quite curious...

I wonder what those two are up to lately? I know it has not been very easy for Marron ever since her abortion... I just hope the two of them will work something out.

Oh yes, I also met a friend of Marron's in Tokyo... Michelle... she's really hyper and has been showing me the whole of Tokyo... and I met with most of her friends... quite an interesting gang.

One thing really surprised me here... in Tokyo... everyone seems to be knowing one another... I thought that would only be found in my little town but even here... it really seems to be a small world... smaller than what I would have expected.
