Chapter seven: Kyande for prom queen! (Part two)
"Trust me, Kyande. I know how to drive! Now get in the car so we won't be late!" Mitsui said.
"Oh! Alright!" Then she went inside the car.
When they were close to the school, the car suddenly stopped.
"What happened, Mitsui?"
"Shoot. We're out of gas."
"What do we do now?"
"Call a taxi?"
"We can't so that! That's so informal!"
"So, you want to be stuck here?"
"No…"
"Then we WILL call a taxi."
Kyande went out with her little bag. She was walking really fast. Mitsui went outside and blocked Kyande and held her in the shoulder.
"Where are you going?"
"Look, I'm not gonna walk away. I'm gonna call someone to get us out of here."
"I won't let you. You're wearing a gown. What if something happens?"
"But we need help!"
"Boys don't get help!"
"Well, girls do!"
Mitsui was about to say another word, when someone called Kyande. They both looked at the guy who called her. It was Sendoh.
"Sendoh! What a surprise! What are you doing here?"
"I knew it was you. Kyande… you look… you're so…. How…… pretty."
Then, Sendoh blushed red and looked down.
"…Ah… Really? You two…. You look…. HANDSOME!"
The moment Kyande said that word, she blushed and covered her mouth. Sendoh blushed too. Mitsui was obviously being out of placed. He blocked Sendoh from Kyande's sight and said "Yo. Will you give us a ride to Shohoku?"
"I would love to."
"Thanks. Kyande, get in the car. I'm gonna lock my car first."
"Ah. Okay." Then she went in. She went on the back seat. When Mitsui opened the back door…
"Kyande, will you please give me a little bit space?"
"Sorry. But, will you please seat at the front seat?"
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I'm wearing Megumi's favorite dress. And once you…"
"Alright."
When they arrived at Shohoku, Kyande kept on thanking Sendoh. When Mitsui and Kyande were about to enter the hall, she felt Sendoh and looked back.
"Sendoh? Aren't you going where you're supposed to be going?"
"Going? But I'm supposed to be here?"
"And why should you be here?" Mitsui said with a 'killer eye'. (yay!)
Sendoh replied Mitsui's challenging eyes with a teasing smile and said
"Well. Haven't you heard? Ryonan and Shohoku, accidentally, reserved on the same restaurant and in the same day. So, they decided to go together knowing that our school are great enemies."
"That's great! Then, you're going to the candidacy party?"
"Yep."
"Cool! Wanna go with us?"
"Why not?"
Mitsui turned to his back and held Kyande's hand meaning they should get going now. By Mitsui's surprise, so did Sendoh! (Just imagine filling in their hands! So cool!)
When they opened the door, Shigan suddenly grabbed Mitsui on his arms. She looked at Kyande and said "Well, Mitsui! Abandoned your dorky friend now?"
"Hey, Shigan." Kyande said.
"Why, she knows me! You must be hearing a lot of me from Mitsui!"
"I… am?"
"Huh?"
"Don't you think you know me?"
"No, I don't."
"You're about to eat your words, Shigan." Mitsui said.
Sendoh wrapped his arm around Kyande and leaned closer and said "Let's go, KYANDE, let's leave these two lovebirds alone." Then they walked away. Mitsui was shocked. Sendoh was introducing her to his friends with their hands together? Mitsui grinned his teeth. When Shigan finally got to her senses, she pulled Mitsui away.
"AHEM! AHEM! Ladies and gentlemen! You can join seats with Ryonan high and Shohoku high. And… Ladies and gentlemen, the party… has begun." Said the old man who's supposed to be the announcer. They all cheered. Sendoh and Kyande went to Mitsui and asked where will Mitsui sit.
"Of corse, I'll be sitting with you."
"Cool! So… um… can Sendoh…"
"Yeah."
She smiled when she heard him. But Mitsui's anger was doubled than before.
They sat in the table with Shigan, Kiyota and Maki. Then, all of them chatted. Except for Mitsui. Yep, he's next to his girl. But next to his girl is his enemy. Shigan stopped talking to Kiyota and Maki. Kiyota wasn't listening. And all Maki said was 'Really?' and 'Yeah.'. By everybody's surprise, Shigan talked to Kyande. She said "Kyande! You look pretty! But you know what, I think you're more pretty without those ugly eyes."
Kyande looked at Shigan for a long time. She don't know what to do.
"I think her eyes are the most beautiful part of her body. Right Maki?"
"I agree. But Kiyota, you really shouldn't be here. No freshmen are allowed here."
Shigan was shocked. Of course she didn't expect that. Mitsui leaned closer to Kyande was looking at Kiyota and Maki who were smiling at her. Mitsi whispered something to her ears.
"You okay?" he said sweetly
"Yeah." Then she smiled.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen! Let's hear a few words from the candidates!" the announcer said.
The four of them stood up and went to the stage. Shigan was first. While she was giving speech, Mitsui again whispered something to her ears.
"You're next."
"I know. I didn't prepare for this."
"Just relax. Good thing candidates for prom king doesn't give speeches."
"THANK YOU!" Shigan finished.
Kyande went to the mic shivering.
"Um… hey… Um… I'm Kyande…. Rukawa. And… I am… a candidate… and…"
She took a deep breath.
"I don't know how I… ah… become a finalist. And I figured out, it's because Megumi's my friend. So I promise, if I win, I'll make every party great. That's the prize, right? Having control to your schedules? I mean… party schedules?"
Everybody clapped. Except for Shigan's friends. When they were about to go home, Shigan approached to them, carrying a bottle of wine.
"Nice speech, Rukawa."
"Thanks." Then she raised an eyebrow. Shigan came closer and splashed the wine in her dress. Kyande was about to attack her. But Sendoh held her back.
"Darn you! This is Megumi's favorite dress!"
"Oh? A rich person borrowing a dress?"
"Just shut up, jerk." Mitsui said, seriously.
"If you dare hurt her again, I don't know what I will do to you." Then they walked away.
Sendoh gave thema ride home.She apologized to Megumi. Her apology was accepted and hugged her.
