Chapter 7: In the practice session
~*~*~*~
NeonAs the clock alarmed at 8:00 in the morning, my eyes opened automatically. Staying in my bed for a while, I started to think, I didn't thought my surroundings had changed… something change… not in physical but in spiritual… I dunno. I just felt that way since I lock myself up. I'd never tried to ask or tried to know what was happening around me, all I cared about is me, and my problem with otou- sama… My eyes rolled around the room. A spacious, tidy, clean and pinkish room. I grinned at the memory. The scheme of the room reminds of my self when I first met Kurapica. So innocent, pure person… Moments later, I started to stretched my arms, and rub my eyes. "I must get up before it turns 8:30! I don't want to have a notice report again!!" I said, as I slowly stood, walks at the cabinet to take my towels and stuff, and continued to the bath room to take a bath.
After a while, I got out of the bathroom, combing and drying my hair with a blower, I sat on the bed. I changed my bathrobe into my casual cloth. A white long sleeve, and a pinkish skirt. I started to braid my cherry hair. Taking my bag beside me, I'd ready my belongings. Minutes later, I stood, and walk towards the mirror, making a round. I smiled. "A clean person have a nice day!"

Kurapica
"Ohayou!"
"Neon- san…"
After hearing Kuroro- sensei said her name, I gave a side glance. She seems exhausted. Maybe she run to long… Sensei gave a smile, "Neon- san, you may sit beside Kurapica- san now" Neon nodded, and followed what he said. She sat besides me, and put her bag beside her. Other started to look at Neon, and gave a blushed smile. I couldn't blame them because Neon was really pretty at this time... My face turned in crimson. What am I thinking anyway? After a while, Kuroro- sensei rolled his eyes around the room, checking if all of us are there already. Knowing that all of us are present, he took the paper in his bag, and walk towards us. "Minna- san, here's the script. I'll distribute it one by one, but, please open it when I commanded to" he said. Everyone nodded for the approval, so he started to distribute the scripts. First, he handled to us (Neon and I) the script for we are the heroine and the hero of the show. Then, he handled the script to the others at last.
After giving the script, sensei commanded us to open and read the script. We then followed what he says, and both Neon and I wide eyed. "I'm a stranger who protects…" I begun, "the fairy and that's my role…?" Neon finished. We suddenly gave a side glance, and blushed.
"Yeah, you two are right"
"Demo, sensei… this is 'Matsuri No Hi' deshou? We know there's no fairy and a protector thingy in this celebration…"
Kuroro- sensei grinned. "Yeah, it is never shown every time we got this celebration" He started, and started to write on the board. "But… don't you know what 'Matsuri No Hi' is all about?"
"What do you mean sensei?" All the students asked.
He didn't talked, instead he continued what he writes on the board. After a while, he concluded. And turned again to us. "Read what I wrote on the board"
All of us started to look on the board, and silently reading what Kuroro- sensei wrote. It says…
"Matsuri No Hi, or what we called a "Cherry Blossom festival" and "Star Watching Festival" is originated from a myth, which was passed by the ancestors around Japan. The story is about a young poor girl, who was maltreated by the other children, teasing her as a "witch" because she was a fairy. But she still kept quiet, and just wept. Hoping they would appreciate her someday. One day, a large, group of kids started to crowd her, they seems to be not contented of teasing the young fairy, that they tried to throw her rocks and stuff. Until then, a handsome boy protected her from the bad kids. They became friends after that, and once the boy promised to protect her no matter what it cause, and he would be his protector till old. The young girl is somehow not happy about his declaration, for the boy still believe that the children is lying for calling her as a "fairy", and that scared her to tell him about the truth. Soon after a year, and the two became 16, the fairy decided to tell him about the truth, even it would risk their friendship. She invited his protector to the bridge, and there she told the mystery about herself. After hearing her past, he was slightly apart, but never did he tried to teased her, leave her, hurt her… instead, he told that he was still his friend, whatever happens, whatever she is… still she was the one she had grew a fond on. The boy confessed his feelings towards the girl in the sunset, and the girl easily replied of the sudden confession…"
Somehow, the story is not continued, but really a surprising one. It makes my heart ache reading the part where the 'confession' was held. My eyes slightly soften, so that means, I have to do that in front of Neon… as I saw the cherry haired girl beside me, I was so shock to see her hands… she's shivering. Slowly, I looked at her, worriedly, Neon…
Kuroro- sensei cleared his throat, and all of us lend our ears. "Before we start the practice, I wanted you to meet Ms. Ponzu, the designer and the real director of the show. Here she is…" The woman addressed slowly opened the door, and there she show her true identity. A young teenage girl, same age as mine. Her hair was a shiny turquoise, tighten with a rubber band. She continued her way in front of us, and suddenly smiled. "Ohayou, minna- san, I'm Ponzu, the designer and the director of the show—as Kuroro- san told you. To begin with, may I call the heroine and the hero of the show, and please stand" she commanded. Startled, both Neon and I stood as fast as we could and followed the order.
As we goes in front, Ponzu- san raised her brow, and inspect us, from head to toe. She suddenly burst in laugh, and slowly put our hands together, that made Neon and I to be close. A slight blush appeared on our face. The girl in front of us stopped, and tighten her grip to our hands, "How cute, both of you!" The turquoise haired designer started as she took the tape measurer beside her "Because you two are both beginners, I'll help you how to act like a normal person in front of the stage, but anyway, before we do this thingy, I must take your body measurement for costume you will wear for the following day" Ponzu- san finished, as she walk towards Neon, and quickly put the measurer around her body. "Wow… your slim…" She said, and that made everyone's laugh. I think Neon was a little offended by that…
After a while, Ponzu- san removed the measurer around Neon's body, and suddenly grabbed her hand. She walks toward our sensei, and smiled. "Ne, Kuroro- san, if you don't mind, can I take her with me…?" asked by her, as Kuroro- sensei smiled, and nodded, and the two started to walk outside. As fast as they goes, he clasp his hands and call it for a break. Even though we didn't done anything that much, the other students agreed for a walk and a break for a while.
I was planning to go back like the other does, until someone's touched my shoulder. I turned, and saw sensei was smiling at me. "Sensei…" he then removed his hand on top my shoulder, and slowly walks at the door… "Don't waste your time like that Kurapica- san… Follow Neon- san…" he whispered, and there he closed the door.
I was slightly surprised of what he had whispered a while ago, that made stayed to where I am standing at. "Hai…"
~*~*~*~
Neon
As quickly as she could, the girl—I mean, Ponzu- san suddenly grabbed my wrist and lead me to the big room. There I saw a beautiful white-seem-like-gown, with full of glitters surrounds it. My eyes turned wide, and that makes the turquoise haired girl smiled. "What are you waiting for, Neon- san?" she begun as she moved some of the papers that are on top of her desk "Don't be shy. You can enter now" Slowly, I walked to the said room. Its really big, and has a lot of cloths and fabrics scattered around, but yet, they are not so colorful that its comfortable to be watched. As I twisted my gaze to the corner, I saw lots of costumes that I remembered, where used in the Matsuri No Hi last year. Now, I think I'm admiring her… said my mind, and that made me laugh. Ponzu- san then offered me a sit, and she to get her own chair. A slight blushed appeared on her face, "Gomen ne, Neon- san… If this room is unclean—much as you expected, I mean" she assumed. "Iie… I think it's not messy… compared to my costume-fanatic cousin" I inverted, giving her my best smile.
Ponzu- san then returned the smile, and started searching in her small cabinet, feverishly. Minutes later, there she saw what she was searching for. A folder liked notebook. "Here" she said, and gave the notebook to me "I wanted you to have a small peek of the outfit you will going to dress in, if you don't mind…?"
"Umm… sure… I don't mind"
"Great! Then, look at page 12 for the image!"
"H- Hai…"
Little by little, I opened it, and turned it to the page where Ponzu- san had said. At first it was a little surprising, but then, felt somehow… a little excited. "Sugoii…"
She grinned, "Hontou ni? Arigatou!"
"It's really surprising to see someone to make such a beautiful outfits like this, and that!" I said, pointing to the costumes around us.
"Well, you see, it was my
dream anyway. So that is why, I'm trying to practice, for someday I would be
like Saoya Amaki!"
"Sou ka… Then, good luck!"
"Uhn"
After the little conversation ended, I turned it to the next page, and there I saw the hero's costume. I was a little shock a back then, and a certain azure eyed boy slapped into my mind. Ponzu- san then points out the image and said that it would be Kurapica's costume… Kurapica… I HEARD your name AGAIN… A slight image of him, smiling and calling at me seems to flash inside of my mind. He was just calling and smiling at me a while ago… and now, he turns to be cold because of that baka otoko who intrudes our PRECIOUS friendship! Hope I would never SEE that GUY in my whole life, or else, he'll receive what he wants!!!
Hey hey hey hey!!! What are you thinking, Neon?! You supposed to be thinking of your Kurapica!!! Your blue eyed boy!!! Your lov—My face turned into crimson, that made me shook my head.
"Neon?! Hey, you still hear me?" A loud voice of Ponzu- san was heard, as she lift her hand against my forehead "Are you alright? Your turning red" she continued, smiling mischievously. "E- eh… chigaimasu!!! I'm okay!!!" I said, as I closed the notebook, and returned it to the owner, "I think, its not right to waste to much time! I must memorized all the script!!!!" I shouted, sounding like a stupid person. Ponzu- san blinked, but then burst in laugh, as she reluctantly accepted to book, "Well, I think you don't have to do such a thing" she said, in a middle of laugh.
Until then, I felt myself started laughing too. Not that I wanted to laugh because I wanted them to see it nor needed it, I wanted to laugh because I wanted too. It seems like a day since I'm becoming serious about our relationship that much, which myself thought, that its serious. I felt my heart loosen some thorns, and make it lighter to beat, to breath, and to carry… Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw the girl in front of me, yet laughing. How I envy her to carry and to go beyond, fighting the problems against her dreams… She was in full spirit to go trying hard… To fulfill a dream is like something connected to 'win someone's heart' right? Stopping from laughing, the turquoise haired girl stopped as well too. And gave a skeptical look, "Ahh… gomen! I just carried away!" she apologized, but then, shock my head, and smiled happily. "Hmm…" I trailed, as I hold her pale hands and shook it, "Your right"
