The story so far: The upcomings with Shiyuan's school-life and her
encounters with Shinsani, the guy who slapped her for being rude. No
cliffhangers so far, sadly.
Chapter 7: A dream come true
Shiyuan was at the fencing hall along with the other fencing students including Shinsani. She felt the Sabre sword' delicate movements as it cut through the air. She loved the feel of the sword as it pierced through the air and she loved the way it moved. She counter-parried Shinsani, who was her opposing partner and she was winning the sparring.
Focusing on the movements of the sword and not caring about the beads of sweat trickling down uncomfortably on her face, she continued to spar and she won Shinsani hands down as she found herself standing with her sword pointed towards Shinsani's fencing suit and Shinsani was sprawled on the floor, defeated. Triumph was hers and she felt the extremely sugary sweet taste of victory and she took off her headgear and cheered with glee, dancing all around the fencing hall.
Suddenly, she was diverted to an open area. An open field with vast greenery. This time, she was out of her fencing suit and was clad in a racer bike top and baby blue Capri pants. She looked at herself in horror and her dressing of clothes. Someone, who was shouting, interrupted her inner thoughts and she ran closer to the deeper end of the field which was emitting the funny noises. Shinsani was sitting behind the trunk of a tree, which covered him completely. The Baobab tree's tree leaves rustled as a strong gust of wind blew past them, knocking off, Shiyuan's BANDANA? " How did it even get to the top of my head?" She shrieked.
Shinsani waved to her happily and said," "Look! I packed us lunch! Let's have a picnic here and enjoy the scenery!"
Without thinking, Shiyuan sat down happily beside him on the red and white- tiled mat and took a neatly made toasted sandwich from the wooden basket. " Mhmm.this is delicious!" She commented as she smiled again.
Shinsani laughed and said," Isn't Singapore beautiful? With this open air field.no land limitations.the beautiful countryside." Shiyuan nodded in agreement as she watched the beautiful scenery that lay before her and she enjoyed the sweet serene moment. She lay down in Shinsani's arms and snuggled up to him cosily but before she knew it.she was diverted into another dimension again.
" Shinsani!!!" Shiyuan cried. She glanced up at the surroundings of the new dimension nervously and she gasped. " Is..is..is..th-this.a music studio?" She asked faintly. " Yes." Someone answered and Shiyuan jumped, not realizing she was the only one in the music studio. " My name's Cherissa. Cherissa Ludo. Nice to meet you." Cherissa was of tall height, well, at least taller than Shiyuan. She was dressed in a blue blouse with a grey skirt and a blazer worn on her shoulders. " You and Shinsani Homai are selected to sing for Singapore's newest and first anime production, The Attackers. It is an anime in the modern setting."
Shiyuan stood rooted to the spot, obviously shocked by Cherissa's comments. " Are you kidding me???!!!" She spluttered. " Nope!" Cherissa said, smiling a ghost of a smile. Shiyuan was jumping up and down, hyperventilating. " OOH YAY! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING LIKES THIS! EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE COOLER TO BE A VOICE ACTRESS!!!" Shiyuan exclaimed excitedly, showing her childlikeness behaviour.
"SHIYUAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!" Shiyuan covered her ears but she could still literally hear the ear- splitting scream. Whoever was shouting into her ear was going to pay a price for it. Someone grabbed her by the shoulders and started shaking her forcefully and Shiyuan was yelling in pain. "HELP!" Suddenly, she felt a "divine intervention" [hehe 2p-rians should know about this] and she popped her eyes open, only to be shocked by the sight of her mother standing up beside her bed, glaring at her crossly.
" Erm.err? May I know what happened?" Shiyuan asked sheepishly. She wiped off the sweat from her forehead, blushing deeply. Had she shouted out loud?
" I was trying to wake you up but you were doing all sorts of funny things in bed. Now get out off bed NOW if you don't want to be late for school!" Shiyuan's mother said and she exited the room. Shiyuan flopped back on her bed tiredly and she sat straight up again.
"That was indeed the weirdest dream I've had, in the fourteen years of my life" She mused aloud. She cringed at the part of the dream where she was having a picnic with Shinsani. "Oh well! Shiyuan no baka! It was just a dream! I'd better go settle now!" And Shiyuan automically jumped out of bed.
On the way to school~~~
Her footsteps were making light sounds against the gentle brushing of the rustled leaves that were coiled along the floor. "Hey!" Someone shouted as he came along to ruffle Shiyuan's neck-length hair, which was tied loosely with a red scrunchie. Shiyuan rolled her eyes as she obviously knew who the childish person was. Just think, whose childish enough to ruffle her hair at age fourteen and whose voice sounds like Donald Duck, but compares his voice to be as manly as Battousai's? Shiyuan casually took the scrunchie and re-tied her hair, glaring at the smiling Shinsani.
"Have you seen Misaki and Izumi lately?" She asked.
" Nope. They are taking different classes, which start from morning assembly." Shinsani explained, running his hand through his brown hair. Vainpot, thought Shiyuan. But he looks quite hot doing that anyway. Ahh whatever!
" SHIYUAN!!!" Izumi and Misaki ran towards Shiyuan and stopped just right before, panting for breath. " Long time no see!" Misaki exclaimed. " Right.no time no see!" Izumi echoed and Shiyuan said," Totally! Long time no see!" " I thought you have different classes? Where.how.what's up?" Shinsani said. Izumi glanced at him and glanced back at Shiyuan. " Are you two dating?"
"NO!" Was the immediate answer from the both of them.
"Okay." Izumi shrugged before continuing to speak," Well, anyway, we just saw you walking so we just thought of saying hi to you before going to class. IT sucks being in different classes, eh?" With that, Misaki nudged Izumi and whispered," We are going to be late for Japanese history! Mr Genzai was just getting on to the part about samurais!!!"
Izumi's eyes widened slightly and both girls chorused," Bye Shiyuan! Tata Shinsani!" They were off.
"If fall along the way Pick me up and dust me off And If I get too tired to make it Be my breath so I can walk If I need some other love Give me more than I can stand And when my smile gets old and faded Wait around I'll smile again Shouldn't be so complicated Just hold me and then and just hold me again
Can you help me I'm bent I'm so scared that I'll never get put back together Just breaking me in And this is how we'll end With you and me. Bent"
Shiyuan swallowed and inhaled. She had just finished singing for the audition. How ironic it seemed. She dreamt of the future, and the event that was happening in her dream came true. Shiyuan recapped.
" Class! We have a singing audition for all students of Furiko High! This audition is for all students to sing the song Bent for the newly Singapore- based production of its first ever anime, The tyrants! Isn't that cool? Yes, we need one girl and one boy to sing the "ballad' together. The audition starts this afternoon from 3pm to 6pm." Mr Cham announced proudly smiling his perpetual smile.

" Very nice!" One of the judges, Simon Cowell said. Usually, Simon Cowell, who was the judge on American Idol, would have criticized everybody at the auditions. However, Shiyuan was an extraordinary exception. Shiyuan smiled and took her leave. Crossing her fingers, she hoped that she would get the part and that her name would be on the results list which would be hung up in school tomorrow.Who would play the male singer? She thought.
