In the teachers room!
"The best way to cheer yourself up is by cheering someone else up..."
November...
Janitor Ganryu: Julia!
I knew that the janitor Ganryu knew me, but I felt a little strange when he called me to help him!
Me: Oh, hi Mr. Janitor!
Ganryu: Right... I need you to do me a favour!
Me: Hum... Sure! What do you want me to do?
Ganryu: A student brought up all her lunch onto the bathroom floor. I don't know why we have the toilet bowls! Anyway, I have to take care of the girl. Could you go to the teachers room? There's a kind of larder there, where I keep my cleaning stuff! Could you go there and bring me a mop and a bucket? Please?
Me: Hum... Fine...
Ganryu: Thank you!
Girl's voice: Aaaarrrghhh...!
Ganryu: Well... Gotta go! Thanks again!
So I had to go get his things, I couldn't say no... But I hope he doesn't get used to it, because I'm not his slave, though... Well, a little favour wouldn't hurt, right?
I knocked at the door a couple of times.
Jun Kazama: Hi Julia! What brings you here, my dear?
Me: A girl brought up her lunch onto the bathroom floor, so the janitor Ganryu asked me to come here to pick some things he needs for the cleaning part, while he helps the girl.
Jun: I see... Well, come in! The small larder where he keeps his things is right there! Be careful because the door only opens from the outside!
On my way to the small cleaning room...
Craig Marduk: But Nina... huh, dear Nina, huh, pretty please?
Nina Williams (yelling): Marduk! What part of "I don't want to go with you to the Christmas dance" you didn't understand!?
Marduk (disapointed): Huh... But I would love to go with you!
Nina: I said NO!
Marduk: Why not? Huh, tell me!
Nina (sighing impatiently): I want to go with my lovely Bryan Fury...!!!!!
Marduk: Bryan?! Huh, I'll break his face!!!!!!!
Nina: Don't you even dare!
Teachers fighting about the "Christmas dance"! I was so lucky to enter in that room! The things we hear! (laughs)
Heihachi Mishima (noticing me): Julia Chang! What are you doing here?! Don't you know that students are forbidden in here!?
Jun Kazama: She is here because Ganryu asked her to do him a favour!
Heihachi (mumbling): Damn it! I lost another opportunity to give detention to a student... That stupid Ganryu!
Jun (whispering): Go on dear! Never mind him...
So I continued....
Violet: I'm telling ya, that store has some neat things!
Lei Wulong (eating a cake): I beliiieve that! Hum... Theeesee rice cakes taste reeeally gooood don't youuu thiiink?
Violet: Ya betcha!
And I continued... To see Baek Doo San! He was sitting on a chair, working on some papers. I observed him a while. I don't know what my mother sees in him! He didn't even understood I was looking at him! Well... I picked the mop and the bucket and when I was ready to leave I had the chance to see Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima kissing! They make such a perfect couple!
Anyway, I gave the cleaning things to Ganryu and he thanked me one more time... I should be the one thanking him, well I entered in the teachers room! It's not every student that has that opportunity.
While I was walking along the school garden I saw Anna with Lee and Kunimitsu. Anna glared at me. I still don't understand why she hates me that much!
Hwoarang (waving): Hi Julia! You want to hear a joke? What is a witch in the desert?
Me (staring at him): ........
Hwoarang continued: A sandwitch! Isn't it funny?
Me: Hwoarang...? Have you been drinking?
Hwoarang: Ok, so it didn't work...?
Me: Work what?
Hwoarang: Oh, I just wanted to cheer you up!
Me (sighing): You have no idea what I need to cheer me up!
Maybe... An invitation to the "Christmas dance"... Yeah, that would do it!
Hwoarang: Nope.... But you could tell me!
Me (smiling): Find it out!
Hwoarang: That's not fair!
Me: It is, for me!
We started walking. Oh, we were walking along the school because we were at lunch time, which means, no classes! Half an hour walking and talking.... I heard my name being called so I turned to see who it was... Guess who!
Ganryu: Julia! Sorry to bother you, again, but I have to take the girl to the doctor! She's feeling really sick and her parents are in Hong Kong working! So, I guess I have to be responsable for taking her to the doctor! Damn work! Anyway, could you please take this back to the larder in the teachers room? Please, do me just this favour now!
Me (couldn't say no again...): Ok...!
Ganryu: Thank you! You're a good girl!
Hwoarang: Good girl, huh? I'll go with you.
We knocked and knocked at the door but nobody came to answer it! So, we entered anyway... (a big mistake!) The room was empty. Headed for the larder both of us entered. (another huge mistake)
Me: Oh, this place is a mess!!!!! Where do I put this things? It wasn't like this when I first came to pick it up!
Hwoarang: Well... Just drop it in some place!
Me: I can't just "drop it in some place"! That would be wrong!
Hwoarang: Stop acting like an angel! We're not even supposed to be in here with no teachers!
I opened my mouth to speak when the door closed locking us in.
Me: Hwoarang! The door closed!
Hwoarang: So? Let's open it!
He looked at the door in front of him and raised his hand to the knob, he tried to open it, but it was no use.
Me: Jun Kazama told me that this door only opens from the outside...
Hwoarang: Does that mean we're locked in?
I nodded...
Me: I'm afraid so...
Hwoarang: Damn it! Hey! Can anybody hear me?!
Me: There's no one out there! Oh my God! No one can hear us!
Hwoarang: Ok, ok, calm down... Sooner or later, someone will come! How the hell did this door close?
Me: It must have been the draught!
I sat on the floor and hugged my legs to my chest, resting the back of my head against the wall. I don't like small places. It make me feel unconfortable. Howarang looked at me with worried eyes.
Hwoarang: At least the light is turned on!
I said nothing, and started to breath faster.
Hwoarang: Hey girl... Are you ok? Look, we're gonna get out. We just have to be patients. Someone will come!
Me: I know...
He sat next to me and touched my hand.
Hwoarang (whispering): Don't worry...
Me: I'm not worried! Yeah, I'm cool!
Hwoarang: Yeah right! You're shaking!
Me: I'm not!
Hwoarang: Fine! Do you want to speak about something? 'Cos I feel like talking!
Me: Good for you!
Hwoarang: C'mon girl! Say... Do you have someone to take you to the "Christmas dance" already?
"Is that an invitation?! Will he ask me?!" I thought, but...
Me: Maybe...
Hwoarang: Yeah, me neither! I was thinking about Xiaoyu... But, she is more interested in Jin, I think!
"Stupid me! Of course he was thinking about Xiaoyu!" I thought. I should have known I had no chances, but well... I had hope!
Me: I think... Xiaoyu would like to go with you...
I have to have a little conversation with Xiaoyu...
Hwoarang: You do?
Me: I have no idea!
Hwoarang (laughing): I figured that out!
Me: Sorry...
Hwoarang: No need to be! Who would you like to go with?
Hearing that question I felt my cheeks hot, I was blushing... I looked at his brown eyes.
Me: I... There's someone outside! I heard something!
Hwoarang: Hey! Can you take us out of here? Is someone there?
Me: Please! Let it not be Heihachi Mishima!
We both got up and the door opened revealing, who else than, the fearful Heihachi Mishima! Why do this things happen to me?!
Heihachi: Look what I found here!
Hwoarang: There's a reasonable explanation for this!
Heihachi: I'm sure there is! Detention for both of you today at six o'clock PM, two hours!
Me: Let us explain the things, please, sir?
Heihachi: Later! I have some work to do, now, GET OUT OF HERE!!!!! And I'll be expecting you!
Outside...
Me: Great! Perfect! Second detention with Heihachi! And it wasn't my fault!
Hwoarang (kicking one rock out of his way): Damn it! I have practise at six o'clock!
Me: I'm sorry!
Hwoarang: Hey!It was nobody's fault ok? We were at the wrong place at the wrong time, that's all!
During the detention (boy, two detentions already...), me and Hwoarang tried to explain what we were doing inside the larder, to Heihachi...
Heihachi: Do you think I'm a fool? Sit down and be quiet!
That went pretty well... I think! Oh, and I have another thing to write! There's going to be a one week trip to... Japan!!!!! Yay! We're going to Kyoto! This was all arranged by my favourite teacher in the world, Jun Kazama! It's going to be in May! I'm so looking forward to go!
Michelle: You had detention, AGAIN?
Me: Yeah, but it wasn't my fault!
Michelle: It's never your fault!
Me: Thanks for understanding!
Teenagers suffer...
