Chapter 2- Getting to hate someone is easy
Misaki-chan's notes: please leave reviews!!! Thanks so much!!!!
"What do you think you're doing?" Shiyuan demanded to know, her voice not above a whisper. The scene was intense. Their eyes were locked in deep concentration. Suddenly, the guy broke eye contact and seemed rather startled. It was as if he had been knocked out of a daze.
" Oro.oops.I mean.Oh shit..." He broke off, blushing a tint of red. If I'm not wrong.I think I just slapped her. Oh my goodness gracious.what have I just done? What came over me??? He faltered and took a step back. "I'm sorry. that wasn't intentional.I just.I .I." He continued, his voice suddenly trembling.
" You WHAT?" Shiyuan took a step closer.
" IT was just really rude of you to start blowing your top off at the shop assistant! Look, I'm also really pissed because there's insufficient rk OST stock since I'm a biggie rk fan too.but that's no reason to shout at the shop assistant for that! Blame Singapore's trade business company!"
" You.you.you." Shiyuan was speechless. Misaki and Izumi kludged each other nervously. " That gives you no reason to slap me!!!" She barked fiercely at him.
"I already said I was sorry.I truly am.I'm really sorry. Oh well.but you were at fault too, with your impoliteness!"
" Whatever!"
"Good day.I'm leaving this HMV store now.Ja Ne" He bowed a slight bow and strolled out of the store. Shiyuan seemed momentarily stuck to the ground of HMV.
What the nerve that guy has! Argh..first he slaps me, then he scolds me, then he walks away as if nothing happens! Should I see him again, I shall whack him to a pulp!
The people who were staring at the much-publicized scene walked away and returned to their browsing of music stuff. Misaki and Izumi apologized meekly to the shop assistant before dragging Shiyuan by her arms out of the gigantic music store.
It was a bad trip. It was one bad day for Shiyuan. Being the good loyal friends that Misaki and Izumi were, they decided not to rub salt into the wound and comforted Shiyuan instead of reprimanding her for being so rude.
Izumi tried to cheer Shiyuan up by telling her all the Rurouni Kenshin jokes that she knew. She had a knack for imitating humourous poses of Japanese anime characters. She struck up a Soujirou pose with one finger in the air and exclaimed, " Sore Wa Hitmitsu Desu!" That got Shiyuan smiling and giggling.
Misaki pulled Shiyuan and Izumi along for some Japanese clothes shopping. After browsing through various Japanese clothing shops, the three girls emerged out of the shopping malls with holes in their pockets. Well, not literally. Shiyuan bought pinkish hooded cap three-quarter-length pants while Izumi bought a blackish pair of high-knee boots and Misaki bought a sweet purple skirt.
That cheered Shiyuan up alright, but it did not take away the nagging feeling at the back of her mind.
That guy is really strange. He claims he is a biggie fan too, and he probably slapped me unintentionally since he seemed so guilty about it afterwards. But then again, what right does he have to slap me? It's way too absurd.Besides, this is Singapore.slapping a stranger is really uncommon.why did things turn out like that? Whatever it is, I hope I shall never ever have to see him again. I do not like to hate people- he is an exception though. Please let him vanish from my sight.
Since the next day was a Monday, the girls had to go to school. They attended a school called Jefirerose High School. It was a mixed school for secondary school students. Actually, it was more of a Japanese-culture influenced environment study area. The female students wore skirts and blouses to school while the male students wore blazers and pants to school. The principal, Mr Chen Xiao Dong is a Japanese expert who studied Japanese and English as he grew up, thus he was inspired to open a Japanese culture- like school, just for Singaporeans to get a taste of Japanese life.
Shiyuan, Izumi and Misaki pulled up to the gates of Jefirerose High school and continued chatting about Rurouni Kenshin. Mr Chen Xiao Dong strongly advised his school's pupils to get interested and involved in Japanese anime as a learning path and so as to get into the Japanese spirit of things. " Yeah.yeah!!! Gentatsu's SO hot!" "Totally! But my Soujirou looks hotter!" " NO! Battousai is the best-looking bishounen in the whole of Japanese anime!!!" The school-bell rang, and the trio rushed into their classroom, 2-Courage.
" Ohayo class!!!" A loud deep voice boomed across the air molecue particles in the classroom. There was no response from the students. Heaving slightly, the teacher repeated in a dull voice," Good morning class!"
" Good morning Mr Cham Kam Poo!" The sea of students chorused back. They took their seats. Everyday the teacher would try to pull an attempt to greet the students in Japanese, only to receive an unenthusiastic response from them.
" Class." He cleared his voice. " Let me announce a very, very, very serious and important matter. SHHH! You there, Izumiah, stop talking with Misaka and Shiyuanai-chan!
Pay attention! SHHH! He put his fingers to his lips, striking his infamous pose.
" We.have a new student in Jefirerose High! What's more, we have the utmost privilege to have him in our class1 You're right! He's a bishounen, he's a Singaporean but he was born in Japan. He migrated back to Singapore a few weeks ago and he'll be our student from now on! May I welcome Shinsani Himme please!"
There was tumultuous applause as the classroom door opened to reveal - Shinsani Himme- Time traveled faster than a millisecond and before Shiyuan could lay her eyes to gaze a fully at the newly-introduced student, her eyes widened with shock and disbelief. She had turned her head and glanced at the new pupil, only to realize, -gulp-, that he was the same guy who slapped her in HMV!
What the hell is happening.NONONONONONONONOONONONONON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING. THIS WON'T BE HAPPENING TO ME!!!!!!!!! WHY ME ME ME ME OF ALL PEOPLE???????? I MUST BE THE UNLUCKIEST GIRL WITH THE LEAST LUCK IN THIS WHOLE WORLD. LIFE WILL BE A HORROR WITH HIM AROUND!!!!
Misaki and Izumi's eyes converted from friendly gazes to narrow horrified stares. " Izumi-shishou.do you see what I see?" " Duh, I see what you see, baka deshi" Both of looked at each other and looked at Shiyuan. Shiyuan seemed.well, physically normal, just shocked, that's all.
Shisani spotted Shiyuan too the moment he stepped into the classroom and he too, was momentarily shocked. Shocked that Shiyuan-chan was in the same classroom as him and his classmate. He swallowed his saliva nervously.
"Now now.let's get back to order" Mr Cham waved his hand in the air and ushered Shinsani to one of the front-row seats. " Let' settle down. I hope you all will get along smashingly with him! Alright, it's back to history chapter 134 please! Please take out your textbook and copy down some notes while I narrate, class" There was a soft murmur of groans while the class obliged.
Recess came later than never. Shiyuan, who had been unusually quiet all this while, marched up to Shinsani's desk and planted her palm on his desk. He looked up at her, curiosity filling his eyes. "yes" He pondered aloud?
" I don't know why you're here, you know. It must be too much of a coincidence. I just wanted to inform you that I detest the sight of you and for something you've done to me. I will so NOT get along smashingly with you. Not that I will intentionally create trouble for you, of course," She said with a wave of her finger." She started to stroll away when Shinsani stood up and said," WAIT"
Shiyuan turned back with a look of irritation on her face. "Yes?"
" I'm really sorry about the incident at HMV.I just didn't know what got over me.please forgive me? I guess I was in the wrong." He muttered audibly
Shiyuan smirked and said," So you learnt your mistake eh?"
" LOOK! You were in the wrong too, shouting at the poor lady like that! What poor manners you have! You look elegant but you're indeed not an elegant young woman!" He rebuked at her, irritation flooding over him.
Shiyuan gaped her mouth wide open and hollered at him in indignation," I thought you were going to apologise decently to me! What's this about you scolding me now?"
" Pesky little girl" He muttered under his breath.
" Cruel Violent stupid self-egoistic pig!" She shouted back.
He glared dagger eyes at her. She glared back, not blanching at the sight of his furious face. In the silent moment of the scene, Shiyuan was able to take a good look at Shinsani's sight. He was golden sunkissed and with a freak stroke of luck, had natural brown hair that shone red under sunlight. Sunlight was basking in through the classroom's crystal-clear class window panes and Shiyuan saw his hair colour. Her eyes widened. " You dyed your hair???"
" No?" He sounded somewhat perturbed. First this girl was confronting him, and now she asked him a normal question, as if she was talking normally to a normal friend.
" Don't lie piggie! It's red! Like Kenshin's hair!" She exclaimed somewhat excitedly.
" I'm NOT." He replied indignantly.
" Stop imitating him all right! Himura Kenshin is the only special figure in the whole of this universe! Stop thinking that you can dress like him and act like him and LOOK like him, because you can't, got it?" She shouted at him.
" You're unbelievable! Look.I'm not lying alright? My hair is naturally like that and I did not on, whatsoever terms, dye it!" He shouted back at her, exasperation clouding him.
" Oh.right.first you slap me, then you refuse to apologise and now you're lying about your hair colour? NOBODY has red hair naturally.they dye it!!! YOU BAKA! Don't insult Himura Kenshin by dying your hair the same colour as his! You don't look like him! Looking like him will be a personal and sensational insult to Himura Kenshin!": She screeched at him, rage getting the better of her.
" You're unbelievable!" He said, shaking his head noticeably.
" Well.you know what? Getting to hate you is really easy." She rebuked angrily
" Right...I SO agree with you. Getting to hate you is really easy!" He snarled back at her.
Shiyuan gasped and she stomped out of the classroom and walked to Izumi and Misaki who were standing at the doorside. Freak.
Shinsani waited till she had stalked off before he stalked off too in a huff, muttering freak under his breath.
Oh no.this isn't going to be pretty.
Misaki-chan's notes: credit to shishou for giving me the idea of kenshin's hair being naturally brown that shines red under sunlight=) and to celesta, for helping me think of the school name Jufirerose High=)
