Chapter 15: Ruby
Mimi gazed at Kiyoshi's face again. Sincerity was written clearly on it. She smiled, 'truly- this can't be happening to me. It's too good to be true' she thought. She blinked twice to see if it was still real. Indeed it was.
"Will you?" Kiyoshi asked again.
Mimi's smile broadened. Then, she nodded.
There were cheers and there were curses, but all in all, it was something to remember in out of the ordinary.
-Matt's POV-
For once I've got nothing to say. All I did was stare at the couple. Kiyoshi was pinning a heart-shaped hairpin, which was beautifully lined with glimmering diamonds, onto the side of Mimi's head. They seem very happy. Some were happy, and others were not. Me? I didn't feel anything. Was I happy, sad or angry? I don't know. Void.
-Normal POV-
Just then, the commotion was interrupted by the booming voice of the principal.
"WHAT IS THERE TO SEE? EVERYBODY GO TO YOUR CLASSROOMS- NOW!"
There were more curses directed at the principal, but in the end, everyone exited the hall.
* * *
Matt dug his hands into his pockets and walked away silently.
* * *
[1 week later...]
It was the Saturday and the basketball team were about to start their training. Mimi wasn't exactly used to be at the center of attention. Now that she's officially Kiyoshi's girlfriend, wherever she went, people would look at her differently. The only ones that brought comfort were her good friends, Tai, Sora and Miyako.
*Sigh*
"Is there something wrong, Mimi?" Kiyoshi asked as he turned around to look at her. "Iie, Kiyo-chan... Just that throughout this week, I feel very... weird..." Mimi said. Her boyfriend stifled a small chuckle and said, "Haha. You'll get used to it." His hand which held Mimi's one tightened firmly as he pushed open the doors of the hall and walked in with her.
* * *
"Whoa! Who sent so many presents?" someone exclaimed under a whole mountain of nicely wrapped boxes of different sizes. "What's up guys?" Kiyoshi asked as he overheard them. "Yo Akera! Santa visited!" someone replied.
REWIND >> PLAY >> FREEZE FRAME
Matt was dunking as usual. Door opened. Enters Mimi and Kiyoshi.
=ZOOM IN=
Hands linked together. Smiling at each other. Tinge of jealousy. *DUNK*
Silence.
CONTINUE >> +ZOOM OUT+
FAST FORWARD >>
Kiyoshi rubbed his chin. "Well guys, I guess there's only one way to find out..." He went over to one of the boxes and opened it.
Pink track shoes. Pink basketball. Pink jersey. Pink socks. Pink water bottle...
Pink this Pink that.
???
Pink? What's with all the pink?
"Who sent these, man! I detest pink!" one of them shouted. "Haha! I think I know who sent these..." Kiyoshi said. "WHO?" everyone asked. "You'll see." "What's with the mystery dude? Haha!"
Mimi stared in awe. "Kiyo-chan, whoever who sent these must really love pink, ne?" Mimi asked. "Yup!"
* * *
A dark blue jaguar pulled up at the front steps of the school. Some students who had activities on that day ran out to see who was the rich bum.
A girl dressed in a frilly pink sleeveless top and a white cotton knee-length skirt with pink flower petals on it. She was wearing a pair of pink track shoes and done up her hair in a messy yet elegant bun. She frowned a little. 'Hmm, this isn't really the school I had in mind... But who cares! Jason's here!' she thought.
"Come here Fluffy!" she motioned for her little white furry dog, which has a small pink ribbon on one ear and a pink collar. Fluffy jumped into her arms. The girl cradled the dog and walked towards her destination.
Suddenly...
"Fluffy! Where are you going?" the girl shouted as she saw her little dog taking off into the distant hallway. She sighed. 'I'll find her later.'
* * *
[At another part of the school]
A boy named Blake was climbing through the window. This was how he always came to school.
PAUSE >> ANALYSING DETAILS >>
Name: Blake
Age: 15
Loves: Basketball
Hates: The World and Women
Details: One of the best players in the school's team. Always playing alongside Matt Ishida. Known for his quick attacks, fakes and accurate shoots.
COMPLETED >> CONTINUE >>
He was about to jump of from the windowsill when a dog came running towards him. "What is this?" he asked aloud. The dog stood under him wagging it's tail and barking at him. "Shit man! I hate dogs!" he cursed. Straitening his red jersey, he looked at the stupid dog again. 'Is it going to leave?' he asked himself. Nope. It doesn't seem to be.
Blake was frightened of dogs, but of course nobody should find out. "Shoo! Go away!" he said, but this made the dog more hyper. "There's only one thing left to do..." Blake carefully stood on the sill. "One-Two-Three..." He jumped off the sill and- "RUN!" Next thing he knew, he seemed to be competing in a 200metre track event as he sprinted through the hallways, keeping his balance at every turning corner.
* * *
*CREAK* (door of the basketball hall opened)
Blake ran in as fast as he could slamming the door shut. He continued running until he reached the spectator stand, then jumping onto the higher platform, amidst the weird stares being directed from his fellow teammates.
"What are you trying to do, Blake?" Matt asked.
"Nothing. Just warming up," he replied nonchalantly as though nothing happened.
Blake grabbed his towel and wiped away the beads of perspiration on his forehead. "Who brought gifts?" he shot the question. Everyone looked at him. "Do we look like we know?"
...
*WOOF* (dog barks)
Out of nowhere, a fluffy white dog appeared and was running to where Blake was sitting. "Oh SHIT!" Blake shouted as he brought up his legs. "Blake... Is that who you were running away from?" Mimi asked jokingly. "Shut up. It's none of your business, woman!" he retorted. Everyone was trying to suppress their laughter. 'Ahhhh! How did it get here?' he thought.
(--_--;)
*CREAK* (door opening)
"Anyone here?" a female's voice called out. Everyone was too shocked too answer. Just then, the dog started barking happily.
*WOOF* It ran to meet the voice. Everyone heard the girl exclaim, "Fluffy!" That did it. SNAP! Everyone just had to check out who it is. At that moment, the girl walked further inside the hall and realised that there were people. Just about 15 of them. "Woops! Am I interrupting anything?" she asked politely.
Out of a sudden, one of the players, Alex, went up to her, grabbed her hands and said, "Yes, dear. You have interrupted my heart. Now it no longer beats at its normal rate. It quickened the first thing I see you..." The girl laughed nervously. "Err- thanks for your compliment. But I think you should let go of my hands. Thank you," she said. Blake looked at her, sure, anyone could see she was pretty, but women weren't his interest. In fact, he detested women. They are just distractions.
"Chey! What's so great about this woman! Don't waste your time and make a fool out of yourself, Alex," he said matter-of-factly. Even Matt was rather stunned at his smooth comment. "Hey! Who do you think you are!" the girl retorted, looking insulted by his comment.
"Haha! Don't mind him, Ruby," Kiyoshi addressed the girl.
RUBY?
???
'Who's this Ruby? Kiyoshi knows her?' the thought ran into everyone's head.
"JASON!" she screamed and ran over to give Kiyoshi a big hug.
JASON?
???
Kiyoshi scratched his head, then smiled at Ruby. "Haha! I know what you guys are wondering. My English name is Jason. This is Ruby. She's my childhood friend," he said. Ruby goes AHEM. He smiled and continued, "and still am. She just came back to Japan, and she's gonna study here in the meantime."
"YES! WOOHOO!"
Everyone turned to look at Alex, who laughed nervously and confessed. "I can see her more often!"
*Everyone SWEATDROPS*
Just then, another voice interrupted. "I totally detest woman like you. So don't come here trying to seduce every single guy here. We don't want to lose in our competition." There goes Blake again. This is his second provoke in the past 5 minutes. "YOU! How dare y-you... BARBARIAN! I'm not a whore, and neither am I a jinx! You better get that into your thick-skull! Just because you got something against women, doesn't mean women don't detest the likes of YOU!" she scolded back.
*The DOOMED Song*
That Really Did It!
Blake jumped off the stand, walked quickly towards her and grabbed her wrist threateningly.
"I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN!"
Kiyoshi was indeed very amused at how these two went head to head quarrelling. One cannot take insults and will act roughly towards whoever it is. The other one practiced years of bickering and always gets her way. Put 'em together and do you get?
HELL
"Okay! Okay! Settle down and stop this whole thing!" Kiyoshi ordered firmly.
Luckily, Blake released his death-grip. Ruby rolled her eyes as she rubbed at her sore wrist.
* * *
Door opened.
Somebody walked in.
*WHISTLE*
"Good morning, guys! Okay, go do your warm ups!" That was the coach.
"Hai. Good morning Coach!"
The players went to did their warm up. Kiyoshi told Ruby to sit beside Mimi. At first she was puzzled, but she soon realised that the only other girl here was the one sitting on the benches. She is definitely pretty. 'No wonder Kiyoshi likes her,' Ruby thought and took the seat beside the girl.
"Hi! My name is Ruby," she said while holding out her hand.
Mimi looked at her face, which went back to its cheery expression. She smiled back and shook the hand.
"Hi Ruby. I'm Mimi. Nice to meet you!"
Just then... Ruby realised something. 'How come she has that heart-shaped hairpin I wanted?' she wondered.
* * *
To be continued...

A/N: yo! haha, so how do u find this chapter? it's definately much longer than my usual ones. sorry to keep ya waiting. i know plenty of u came to say, "ahhh! why must you put a cliffhanger?" i knew i'd get that response. heehee! actually, it's so that i'd kind of prepare u for the more intersting parts that are gonna come out.

Before you start hating Ruby, i'm telling u, u'd be surprised at the outcome. then, many wanted more Matt. at this point of the story, Matt is kind of solemn, adjusting his feelings. don't worry, there WILL be more of him as the story progresses!
