"*Sigh* I guess I'll see you guys later. I better get my books from my locker while I still can. Ja!" Mimi stated before dashing out of the cafeteria...

Chapter 2: Tension Rises
Mimi was placing her books into her locker and shoving her English Literature book into her backpack. "Excuse me," said a tiny voice, yet distinctive to Mimi's ears. Mimi turned around only to see a young boy with blond hair who seemed at least two years younger than her. "Yes, may I help you?" Mimi replied.
"Erm... I'm looking for my elder brother here. Do you know where he is?" asked the boy. "Your brother? Who's your brother?" Mimi asked kneeling a little so she could speak to him better. "My brother is Matt Ishida," he responded. At that moment, time stopped for a second for Mimi. 'Ishida? Matt Ishida? That moron?' she thought. "That moron?" Mimi mumbled unconsciously. "Erm... So do you know him?" the boy enquired again.
"Oh no. I don't know him. I have NOTHING to want to do with him. Maybe you should try the cafeteria," said Mimi. The boy glanced at her as though pondering over what she meant by, "NOTHING to want to do with him" as if she actually knew him but refused to acknowledge.
"Okay. But where is the cafeteria?" he asked again.
"Err... go straight, then turn left and then down one level then turn right and left again," said Mimi.
"Huh? It's so confusing."
"Yeah, I was lost when I first came here."
"Can you repeat?"
"Okay. Go straight, turn left, down one level, turn right, then left again."
"I still don't get it. Can you repeat slower this time?"
"Argh! You are driving me crazy! Your brother must have influenced you!"
"Huh? Does that mean you know him?"
"Nani? No! I definitely DO NOT. Never mind, I'll take you there since it's still early."
Mimi brought the boy to the cafeteria. And along the way, he had introduced himself to her. His name was Takeru. "Here we are," Mimi announced. "Thanks Miss!" he said. "It's Mimi, actually, but it's okay."
"Mimi, I can't see my brother." Takeru exclaimed.
"You see that crowd?"
"Yeah..."
"Your brother would be smacked right in the middle of it."
"How do you know?"
"Err... I guessed?"
"Okay then. Bye!"
Takeru entered the cafeteria and Mimi went back to her locker because she suddenly remembered she had better get all her books for classes after lunch till the end of school while she could.
* * *
In the meantime...
Takeru was having some difficulties getting into the crowd. Every time he tried to squeeze through, a girl would shove him out of the crowd. 'Oh, how am I going to give this to my brother? And why is he surrounded by so many girls?' he thought. "I'm sorry girls, but I must be going now." Takeru heard the familiar voice, but he could only see a horde of girls chasing after someone out of the cafeteria in a blink of an eye. 'Uh-oh! Now my brother disappeared! This is important!' Takeru gasped and ran out of the place.
* * *
"Mimi! Mimi!"
Mimi heard her name being called as she stopped halfway through a flight of stairs leading to the floor above her locker hallway. "Takeru?"
"Mimi! I'm glad I found you!" Takeru said as he panted heavily.
"What is it, Takeru? I thought you went to find your brother!"
"I can't seem to get inside the crowd just now..." he said with his head hung low.
"Just as I expected. He and his fan club! Don't worry, I understand how you feel."
"Huh? Are you sure you don't know him?"
"Nani? Never mind. What do you want?"
"Could you... Could you pass this to him?" Takeru asked as he fished out set of keys that looked important.
"Erm... But I don't know him. I'm so sorry." Mimi replied as she spun around to continue her climb.
"B-But can you at least take this to the general office so that my brother could claim?"
Mimi looked at the young boy below her. He seemed very desperate and not helping him would only make her look uncompassionate. "Well... Alright." Takeru's face brightened up upon hearing that. "Arigatou gozaimasu!" he thanked and handed Mimi the set of keys. "Hai. Doitashi mashite" Mimi replied as she saw the young boy running off to somewhere.
* * *
Mimi arrived at the Drama Studio 5 minutes before class started...
"Here," she said, almost monotonously, handing Matt the set of keys.
"Where did you get them from?" he asked coldly.
"Your brother."
"My brother? You are such a pathetic liar!"
"Takeru wanted to give them to you, Mr. Ishida!"
"So you know his name too, I see. Then why didn't I see him?"
"Because you were surrounded by your miserable 'fan club'! Does that ring a bell?" Mimi replied with a little sarcasm.
"I DO NOT have a fan club! Watch your tongue!"
"Oh yeah? Then watch YOUR tongue as well, ass-hole! Your brother tried hard to find you, okay!"
"Whatever."
"Whatever? Is that all you can say?"
"What do YOU want me to say then?"
"You could at least start by thanking me..."
"Get a life."
"What did you say? Excuse me, Mr. My-Ego-Is-The-Size-Of-My-Already-Inflated-Head... I could have thrown those keys away for good! But no... Out of my compassionate nature, I took the initiative to return these to you. And what do I get? A well-rounded scolding from an airhead! Hmph!" Mimi said fuming madly.
Their little conversation turned out to be a very heated argument. Both were oblivious of how many pairs of eyes staring at their dispute. "Excellent! This is absolutely splendid! Ms. Tachikawa and Mr. Ishida, I presume?"
Mimi gasped loudly as she realised that was her English Literature teacher, Ms. Anderson, speaking. "It is?" Mimi asked raising a skeptical eyebrow. Even Matt was totally confused. "I must compliment you two as you have given me THE ANSWER!" she said dramatically with her strong British accent. "The answer? What answer?" this time it was Matt who asked.
"Yes. Yes. I shall explain to all of you now," she said as she walked elegantly to the front stage. "Our school is participating in the annual Drama Arts Festival, so as to promote the experience of dramatizing and aid in raising funds for charity." Ms. Anderson took in another deep breath before continuing, "Our school would be entering 2 performances from the second and third-years only."
Everyone started whispering excitedly of the upcoming event. "You see... Being in charge of arranging the acts, I was requested to write a piece of drama for the second-years. Presently, I've been searching for the ideal actors that would suit the characters. Mimi and Matt, please consider this fine opportunity!"
"ME WITH HIM/HER??!!" they both shouted in unison.
"Well of course! This is a very rare opportunity you know?"
"B-But I-I don't think it would be a good idea working with THIS person..." said Mimi pointing her finger at Matt.
"Stop pointing! As if I'd wanna work with the likes of YOU!" Matt retorted.
"Now, now. Not everyone has the talent to fight this well, you know. And I need you both to act it out!" said the teacher.
"NO!" they shouted at the same time again.
"Well then, I would have to take drastic measures!"
"Nani?"
"Since you two love to argue so much, the more you should cooperate with me! If not I would fail your Literature this term!"
"What? But teacher!" Mimi cried signaling she was about to say how despicable the teacher was. Matt definitely didn't want his punishment. He quickly placed his hand over Mimi's mouth so she could speak and simply replied to the teacher that they would be 'more than willing'.
* * *
After school...
"Ishida! You got nerves to do that to ME!" Mimi said as she slammed her locker shut.
"Hey! If I hadn't done that, we would probably fail Literature because of YOU!"
"No, we won't!"
"Yes, we do!"
"Fine! Now what? I have to act with a scum-bag!" Mimi shouted sticking her tongue out at him.
"Wow! What a coincidence! I have to act with a bitch!"
"You! Urgh!" Mimi was too angry to continue. She grabbed her back and stomped off, leaving Matt to snicker at his victory.
