Chapter V: What a day....
Botan finished with her routine and waited for the coach to decide whether or not she had made in the cheerleading squad. She wiped her face dried with a towel. She was exhausted but she was very satisfied with her performance. She hoped she made. She had practiced so hard during the last two weeks. When she arrived at the gym this morning, Botan was surprised that Miyuki was trying out for the cheerleading. That shouldn't have come as a surprise because Miyuki definitely looked like cheerleading material. But she didn't let that discouraged her. She had tried her best and that's all that should matter.
"Okay, people, we have come to a final conclusion. Here's the list of the people who made it this here." The coach announced.
Botan listened patiently as the coach read the name. She was so closed to giving up when she finally heard her name. She emitted a sight of relief. She made it. The coach thanked them for trying out and dismissed them. Botan went to locker room and grabbed a quick shower and changed into her regular clothes. She did it really quickly because she was trying to avoid Miyuki. She really didn't want to talk to him. Once she was finished, she went to get her car in the parking lot. She was almost inside when she heard Miyuki calling her name. She turned around and faced the other girl.
"Hi, Botan." She said, sweetly.
"Hello, Miyuki. Congratulations in the cheerleading squad."
"You, too."
"Thanks."
"So are you going home?"
"Not really. Why?"
"I was wondering if you could give Kurama a message for me."
"Why don't you call him on his cell phone?"
"I forgot mine at my dorm room."
"Wanna use mine?"
"If you don't mind?"
"Of course not."
Botan took her phone out of her shoulder bag and handed to her. She listened as Miyuki conversed with her boyfriend. She fell so jealous that she wanted to grabbed her phone and beat the hell out of Miyuki for stealing Kurama from her. But she managed to restrain her jealousy. Miyuki finished her call and gave the phone back to Botan.
"Thanks Botan for letting me use your phone." She said.
"Don't mention it."
"Alright, I'll see you later."
"Sure."
Botan got in her car and drive around for a while. She didn't have to work for another thirty minutes. She stopped at a pub and ordered a sandwich and a bottle of water. She ate her lunch then drove herself to her job new job at Rave. It was a clothing store. Today was her first day. She was hired two days ago. She put her bag in the back room and get ready for her fist day.
It was late when Botan finally got home. She was exhausted. Yusuke and Keiko were sitting in the living room watching a movies no doubt. She said hi to them and went straight to her room. She quickly got undress and rushed into the shower. The hot water felt heavenly against her aching flesh. She poured some shampoo in her hands and massaged it into her hair. She rinsed out her hair and washed her body with lavender body gel. She felt much better after her shower. Back in her room, she got dressed. And flopped down on her bed. A few minutes later she heard a knock on her door. It was Keiko. Her friend came in and sat next to her on the bed.
"So how was your day?" Keiko asked.
"Exhausting."
"Yeah, mine too."
"So did you get the job?"
"Yeah, I did."
"That's great."
"Yeah!"
"Are you doing anything tomorrow?"
"Not really."
"Let's go somewhere. We haven't hanged out together since we started school."
"I know."
"So you want to do it. We can go shopping, get our nails done. It would be like old time."
"Yeah! A girl's day out."
"Yeah!"
"Sure, it will be fun."
"Awesome."
They felt into silence before Keiko spoke.
"Kurama is having a dinner tomorrow and he said that he would like for all of us to be there because he wanted to get acquainted to Miyuki."
"What?"
"That's what he said."
"But why? We already know what we needed to know about her."
"I don't know. He just thought that it would be good for us to know his girlfriend better."
"What if we don't too?"
Keiko looked at her best friend and smiled in understanding.
"You don't like Miyuki, do you?"
"What makes you think that?"
"Oh come on, Botan, I'm your best friend. I can tell by the way you're avoiding her and Kurama like the plague."
"That's not true."
"Oh! Really. How do you explain your sudden leaves every time Miyuki comes over?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Every time he comes over, you leave. Pretending that you have something to do."
"IS it that obvious?"
"So you're admitting that you are avoiding Miyuki."
She nodded.
"Don't worry. It's not that obvious unless someone is paying attention."
"Do you think Kurama would notice?"
"Probably not. He's so smitten with Miyuki. I doubt he noticed anything that goes around him when he's with her."
Keiko must have seen the expression on her face because she asked.
"Do you have a thing for Kurama?"
Author's note: do you think Botan have a thing for Kurama. Stay tune and find out. Sorry I took so long to update.
