Bouzi Neo & Celeb Ryu

Chapter Eleven: Roomies

I didn't stop then, but it would be a while before I did it in daylight again... Daddy didn't believe me...

No one did after that…

But Daddy kept his promise, he told no one. Trunks didn't talk to me after a long while.

Incidentally, Pan stopped talking to me soon afterwards as well.

She said if I thought I was too good for Trunks, I was too good for her too.

Wasn't that at all… was it?

I bet he told her; he kept no secrets from his precious Panny...I'm not even invited to the damn wedding, shunned from my own family... Mom's not even going to let me get out for the Capsule Corporation party.

It's only a week before I get out of here. Why should she not?

She's ashamed of me...

But Daddy said he'd visit...he wasn't lying...was he?

No. Daddy has pride.

At least someone still cares about me...

"Come on, Perfect."

"No, thanks..."

"That wasn't a request."

Just then Ruth came in, "Lights out, Girls! Get to bed or demerits will be made!"

Neo grabbed my hand and before I could snatch it away, I was in their bathroom, hiding from Ruth.

"Why didn't you just take me to the room?"

"Shut up," She hissed and looked at a figure, which, was, of course Ryu.

"She's 'searching' our room...nightly routine...best not to be in there when it happens." Ryu replied

"Cleaning the last pieces of mirror..." Neo patted her pocket.

"Yeah best she don't find those…"

"Whatever, this doesn't affect me…"

"Yes, it does." Neo snapped.

"How so?"

"It just...does"

"What kind of answer is that?"

"Girls!" We heard Ruth shout, "There are more blood stains!"

Neo rolled her eyes and opened a broken tile under a toilet. Eww. She threw the mirror pieces in there; there were other sharp object there. Freaks!

We heard the door slam; Ruth must have left.

Ryu sighed and led me into the room, "Rat on us and suffer the consequences."

She was so kind earlier; I nodded.

Kinder than the other one.... "Think she'd make it as one of us?"

"Don't think she wants to...she doesn't even realize she's fucked up...I can't stand those in denial." Ryu replied, did I just call her nice?

Neo shrugged, "She's our roomy. She's not going anywhere."

Unfortunately...

Neo and Ryu.. I couldn't tell either of them. One minute Neo's the bitch of the world and Ryu's acceptable, now Ryu's being like Neo was and Neo... she's just being...

Ryu turned on her CDs again, this time its hard rock, ugh how does she sleep to this?!

"Have anything a little more metal-like?" Neo asked.

"Do you really want to wake up with a headache?"

"Er... System of a Down?"

"Yeah."

She changed CDs, and even louder music came on

"Chop Suey!"

This shit has a name?

Ryu hummed along, she can hear the lyrics? "I cry...when angels deserve to die..."

At first it was soft... then it just got louder... and louder... and the words... I listened to her hum the lyrics.

Are my room-mates some sort of Satanists?

Neo stared, her mouth was moving but no words came out. She was in a trance...

I pulled my pillow over my head; it would be a long night.


Is Bura trying to get along with Ryu and Neo or are Ryu and Neo trying to get along with her? Well, playing System Of A Down in the middle of the night doesn't help, but the freak thing isn't the nicest thing either… Will the roommates kill each other before three months are up?
