Note: Sorry for the long wait everyone! I've been sooo busy with my school work! Anyway, here's another chapter for all of you Kenyako fans to enjoy!
Chapter 5 - Restless
"A party?!" Hanako's eyes widened in amazement. They were invited to a party at the Coleman House, which moslty consisted of the Seniors in Odaiba College! She scanned the paper again, making sure it was all true in front of her. She sat down on her bed and glanced at the bathroom door where Miyako disappeared to. "So... we are going, right?"
Miyako opened the door to the bathroom and paused by the doorway. She was dressed in a short, spaghetti strap black dress that reached above her knees and black strapless four inch heels. Her long lavender stayed in place and her face were coloured nothing but pink lip gloss and a tiny bit of shiny eye shadow above her eyes, the kind that you buy cheap at a boutique. That was the dress she saw Miyako carrying in a plastic bag when they were walking home from school. Hanako kept wondering what it was and now she knew the truth. The dress was for the party and Miyako had thought about going ever since she found out.
"What do you think?" Miyako twirled around, the dress fluttering around her. Hanako stood up and jumped up and down like an excited little girl who has just opened her Christmas present.
"Awesome! Let me get changed!" Hanako opened her closet and reached for something from the hangers. Miyako watched her.
"What are you doing? Aren't you dressed already?" She notied Hanako's tight black flares and her cute green spaghetti straps that made two cute frills above her shoulder.
Hanako looked over her shoulder and shook her head as she took out a baby blue dress from the closet. "What are you talking about? This thing that I'm wearing? You gotta be kidding me! I wouldn't be caught dead in this outfit in front of Senior college guys!" She took the dress with her, pushed Miyako gently out of the way and closed the door behind her.
The lavender haired girl's eyes widened. Seniors? She knocked on the door. "Wait a minute! You mean it's a Senior party?!"
"Yeah!" Hanako answered from the other side of the door. Miyako could hear her taking off her clothes and unzipping the back of the dress. "Didn't you read the invite carefully?"
Miyako frowned. "No....." She turned around and reached for the paper lying on Hanako's bed and scanned it through once more. At the bottom, the dorm room they were having the party to was the Coleman House. Nothing suspicious there. "It doesn't say it's a Senior's party!"
"It doesn't, but the Coleman House tells us that it is a Senior's party!"
Miyako sat down on Hanako's bed in disbelief. How could she not see that? The Coleman House is a Senior's dorm! "How do you know?" She heard the door open as Hanako stepped out. Miyako glanced to her right and saw Hanako fixing the front button of the dress. The dress had the same lenght as Miyako's, but instead of spaghetti straps, it had long, bell like sleeves. It had three buttons at the top and underneath the last button was a knot that you either had to tie or not if you wanted your cleavage revealed or not at all. Miyako smiled in satisfaction and handed her the shoes she wanted Hanako to wear with the dress from the closet. She handed her red headed friend her black knee high boots.
Hanako took it from her friend's hand and sat down on the bed beside Miyako. "Remember Riker James?" she said, as she put on her first boots.
Miyako nodded. Riker James was half-American, half-Japanese, born in Washingto, D.C. His father was American while his mother was born Japanese. They're both divorced and Riker stayed put with his father in America, while his mother went home to Japan along with Riker's little sister, Sakura. He kept in touch with his mother and sister of course. During his trip to Japan, his father, Clyde James died when the plane crashed by the place where everyone believed to be the 'Bermuda Triangle.' Riker had no other relatives to live with in America, except for his aunt and uncle, but they already had kids and they didn't want to take care of Riker. Besides, he looked old enough to be transfered in college in Japan. And that's what he did. Riker got transfered to Japan and now lives with his mother and sister in a nice apartment complex near Odaiba college. "Yeah, I remember him," Miyako replied after replaying the knowledge about Riker in her head.
"Well, you knew I went out with him, right?" She was done putting on both her boots as she stood up and looked at herself in the mirror that was hanging at the opposite side of the wall.
Miyako nodded.
"One night he took me into the Coleman house. He wasn't a Senior or anything, but he told me the Coleman house was a Senior campus. He said he knew a friend there who was in college so I went along and we were invited inside his friend's room." Hanako looked at her friend.
"You and Riker went to the Senior campus without telling me?" Miyako looked hurt.
Hanako rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on, Miya! It wasn't like I knew you or anything." She smiled. Hanako knew Miya was just joking around. She sat down beside Miyako. "Are you ready?"
Miyako looked at her friend. She noticed Hanako was only wearing a shining lip gloss too and shiny eye shadow. Both of them didn't like makeup that much and she was glad. Miyako pushed her glasses further up her nose to keep it from sliding off her face and stood up. "Well, let's go then!"
****************
"Hi! You must be Miya. Cedrick keeps telling me about you!" He shook her hand. The girl standing in front of him was attractive enough, despite of the glasses that she wore. They were round, which didn't fit right. He couldn't believe Cedrick liked this girl.
Miyako studied the boy. She had shaken his hand, but she felt a strange vibe coming from him. The looks he was giving her was strange. His look was mostly a sneer rather than kindness. When he left to be with other people, Hanako leaned closer and whispered something in her ear that she couldn't quite catch. The music in the background was playing too loud for her. People were screaming and dancing, adding to the commotion in the campus. She looked at her friend and gave her a puzzled look. She didn't understand what she was saying. Hanako rolled her eyes and pulled her inside a room and closed it behind them.
"Who's Cedrick?"
"The guy who's hosting this party!" A loud booming voice startled the two girls from their conversation. They turned their attention on a large master bed. A young man and woman peeked their heads out from under the blanket and grinned at them. The young woman rolled her eyes and pulled the young man back under the blanket. Hanako and Miyako ran out of the room before they could hear anything that they refused to hear.
"Hey you guys! Where have you been?" Miyako turned around and saw Cedrick there, holding a bottle of tequila in his hand. He seemed to have noticed how she looked, because as Cedrick saw her, his eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, you look great Miya!"
Miyako blushed. "Well, it's just something I put on." She fixed her eyeglasses once again.
Cedrick smiled. "Whatever it is, you look beautiful." He gave her another smile before walking pass her to go to the kitchen, down the hall. Hanako looked at her friend.
"You just got over Ken and now you're going for an even cuter guy?" Hanako said.
Miyako shook her head. "No. Cedrick is just a good friend."
"So was Ken."
Was..... Is that even the tense she wants to use on Ken? No, she thought. This night, I will forget all about Ken and have a good time at this party.
"Earth to Miya!" Hanako waved a hand in front of her friend.
Miyako jumped out of her trance and glanced at her friend. She blinked a couple of times, before realizing they have been standing there for a few seconds now without doing anything. A faster music played in the background. Hanako grabbed her friend's hand and dragged her to the dance floor, an obvious floor in the living room where most people were dancing. Miyako was surprised with this at first, but as she got into the beat, she had forgotten about everything that has been going wrong with her life.
****************
"This will spice it up!"
"What? You can't do that! Are you sure she's a virgin? I mean, look at what she's wearing! She's practically looking like a whore if you ask me!" She slapped the bottle away from him.
The young man gave his friend a hard glare. He shook his head angrily and grabbed the fallen bottle from the table. He poured it down on the drink. "Don't worry. Until tonight, she won't even remember a thing once she takes a drink of my special recipe."
The quiet young man, who has been standing by the fridge for a few minutes now, folded his arms across his chest and walked over to his friend. "What special recipe?"
"Hey... you like this girl or what?"
"I like her, but she's the type of girl who's hard to get!" He waved his hands in the air and slapped them hard on the counter. The girl standing between the two flinched at the impact.
"Stop that," she said quietly.
He glanced at the girl dancing with her friend. "I'll say. Look at those large spectacles she has on. You can even look through a speck of dust just putting them on. I don't know what you like about her dude, but I'll do anything for a friend of mine."
He hesitated for a moment, then finally smiled at his good friend. "All right. Just give her a few drinks until you're sure she won't remember anything until tonight."
His friend shook his head and waved a hand. "Yeah, yeah! Just go and keep her occupied for awhile, all right? I still need sometime."
He rolled his eyes. "Fine!" With that, he turned around and headed towards the direction of the dance floor. He wasn't sure if this was such a good idea. He liked Miyako, but he couldn't help but wonder if she liked that Ken Ichijoujii more than him!
"Well, Ken...." he said to himself. "After tonight... you won't ever have her."
****************
Ken laid on his bed. He couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about Miyako and the way she was treating him. Was it something he said that made her avoid him?
"Hey!" Akira plopped down on the bed beside him front first and gave her cousin a large smile. "What's up?"
Ken glanced at her, then continued to stare at the ceiling. "Nothing..." was his curt reply.
Akira rolled on her back and leaned closer to Ken. "Look, you have to stop obsessing over this girl and-"
"I'm not obsessing!" Ken hissed. He gave Akira a sneer before turning away from his cousin on his side to face the window. "Just leave me alone for now, all right Akira?"
'You're acting like such a child, Ken Ichijoijii! I don't know why you're fuming over this whole Miyako thing! If she can't stand the sight of you, then get over it and move on!" Akira got up and stared down on him, planting both her fists on her waists.
Ken twisted his whole body around angrily. He was surprised to be looking up at Akira from bed. "I can't Akira! Don't you understand?!"
Akira sighed. She sat down on the bed and frowned. "I understand, Ken. I'm sorry for yelling at you."
"No, you don't. You have no idea how much I've liked this girl. I mean this girl was practically in love with me in elementary school and I got to know her over the years before we got separated from each other. She helped me through troubled times and I... I fell in love with her." He sat up and leaned his back on the wall. He looked at Akira, expecting her to laugh for making a mushy speech about his love for this particular girl.
Akira moved over beside him and rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry. You're right, I don't understand. But I know how it feels to have someone you love just reject you because of something that you don't know what you did. That is just hard to let go. What you have to do is talk to her."
Ken sighed and rested his head on top of hers. "Well, I would right now, but she's at a party right now."
"Really?"
Ken sighed. "Yeah. She was invited by Cedrick at this birthday party over at the Coleman Campus."
Akira looked at him. "What?" Ken gave her a puzzled look.
"What do you think?" They looked at each for awhile, until Ken got the idea.
He pointed at himself. "Me? I'm not going to a stupid party!"
Akira stood up, went around on the other side and pulled Ken up on his feet. "It's not a stupid party! It's just something for fun! You and I are going to go and you'll find Miyako and I'll go dance or something." She opened the door, while pulling her cousin and they stepped outside, despite Ken's hesitation and his obvious refusal on the party.
Ken kept quiet during his cousin's abuse and let her pull him outside, where the September breeze were the coldest. Good thing he was wearing his thick black jacket with him and his black pants. The night was dark, but he could see lights from the windows of all the dorm buildings while his cousin was pulling him. Two girls passed them, giving them strange looks before turning to their direction with books piled high in their hands. A large gust of wind ruffled his hair. Akira stopped pulling him after awhile, gasping for breath and let Ken walk behind her while she led the way. She knew where Coleman was. When she was bored waiting for Ken to finish class, she was studying all the campuses around Odaiba College.
After a few minutes of walking, they stopped and stared at the large sign just posted at the front of a large rich-like building which read, "Coleman." They could hear music playing inside and silhouettes of dancing people walking pass the regular sized windows. Ken stood there, wanting to change his mind. However, before he could do so, Akira took his hand and pulled him inside the building.
