Michiru stared at the picture of the 18-year-old Haruka. She looked over her writing at the report she had put together on Haruka back then. Mostly it talked about how Haruka had won so many trophies and won many races. But one thing caught her attention. The fact that Haruka had said she really wanted to be the best of the best in the world of racecar driving.
"Are you still looking at that file?" Sonoko asked, coming into the room.
"Are you done with the photos?" Michiru asked, looking up at her.
"Uh, no," Sonoko said looking back at the dark room. It wasn't a room really, a closet, or a storage, which Sonoko had converted into a dark room.
"So why don't you finish up?" Michiru asked.
"I feel lazy." Sonoko walked toward the kitchen, "I need chocolate! Do we have chocolate?"
"In the closet above the stove!" Michiru called. She started to put the file back together. After giving the picture one last look, she slipped it inside the folder and placed the folder on the coffee table in front of her. Sonoko walked out eating cookies.
"You should finish, you know?" Michiru said, "She will kill you if you don't." 'She' was Haruka.
"I will kill her back, so what's the point?" Sonoko replied. Michiru sighed. The past week had been very weird. First of all Haruka and Sonoko bickered a lot. They kept throwing insults toward each other, until either Michiru stopped Sonoko or Koruko stopped Haruka. On Friday Haruka had called a truce, but no one knew how long it would last.
"You should have finished it earlier." Michiru scolded, taking the TV remote out of Sonoko's hand.
"Don't play mother." Sonoko said, "I have had enough from one mother, thank you."
"You didn't have to go out so much." Michiru said.
"Well, I am sorry, if you think that spending time with Jeriko is a crime," Sonoko replied non-chalantly, "He is my boy friend you know."
"Still." Michiru said.
"You know, Anoho asked you out that day if I remember correctly." Sonoko said slowly sitting down on the couch, "What was so wrong with him that you refused?"
"You know I don't date guys." Michiru said.
"Come on," Sonoko said, "You never give them a try. You need to loosen up more. Work isn't the only thing in life you know?"
"I don't date guys, Sonoko," Michiru replied, her voice at the edge of stern, "Don't hassle me bout it."
"I still think you should loosen up," Sonoko replied taking the remote from Michiru's hand, "And if you don't wanna date guys, go find yourself a girlfriend. You really need to blow off all that stress..."
"I haven't found the right person yet." Michiru replied.
"Well, if you don't look for the right person, you won't find them." Sonoko said, flipping through the channels.
"You know what?" Michiru asked picking at the loose threads in the sofa, "When I find the right one, I will make my move, for now I will stay put until my person comes along."
"Michiru, I would tell you are weird, but I won't." Sonoko said and Michiru mock glared at her, "Just because you are my best buddy." She winked at turned her attention back toward the TV. And Michiru continued picking at the loose thread.
*************************************************************
Michiru could have bet that those fifteen minutes when she stood in front of Haruka with Sonoko were the most agonizing minutes she remembered. As soon as she had walked in the office, Koruko had sent her along with Sonoko to see Haruka. Without explaining anything on top of that. Then Haruka explained that she was going to go over all the work they had done in the past week and determine whether she would keep them at the job or not. And thus Michiru stood and watched Haruka's blond head bent over their work.
"Well you have done an authentic job, but I do have to take behavior into consideration as well," Haruka said looking pointedly at Sonoko. Michiru gulped but Sonoko rolled her eyes. Michiru elbowed her. Haruka was looking at the papers once again.
"Could I please say something?" Michiru started slowly. Haruka looked up.
"When we were being interviewed, or given the acceptance letter, there was no mention of some kind of test." She said slowly, "Why weren't we told?"
"To see what kind of effort you would put it, if you weren't told that you were being tested." Haruka replied, "Obviously if we had told you, you would have worked harder. You would have worked to pass. We didn't want you to do that." Michiru nodded at the answer. Sonoko tapped her foot.
"Stop that!" Michiru mouthed. Sonoko shrugged but stopped. 15 minutes was a lot. Michiru tried to distract herself by looking outside the window. She almost succeeded, because she didn't hear Haruka slide a file toward them.
"Here is your first official assignment." Haruka said to the beaming face of Sonoko and a baffled, but equally happy Michiru.
