Chapter 4:
The next day…
Anna loved the peace and quiet of the library. It was her sanctuary considering being hounded on all day. Being popular can be a curse…guys just love the sexy bored expression in her eyes. It added to her mystery. The other part of the mystery is what she was doing with a "bum" like Yoh Asakura. But being a bum didn't stop Yoh from being a "babe magnet" in his own way. The mystery was that they had absolutely nothing in common.
(Sigh) the mysteries of love…
The library was sometimes annoying though because a librarian committed suicide years ago and now she was lonely. Every once and a while, she tries to make a conversation with her while she was still studying.
The librarian was flirting with Amidamaru now, so she was free to study in peace…until Pirika arrived.
"I CAN"T BELIEVE THAT GUY!"
Anna looked over to the dead librarian. She was still busy with Amidamaru. Anna gave a sigh of relief. She didn't want to handle that ghost again.
"Pirika…ssssshhhhh…"
"Opps! I'm sorry, Anna."
"That's okay. What's your problem?"
"He goes by the name of Ren Tao."
"Ren? What did he do to you?"
"He walked into the girl's locker room, carried me out like a sack, beat up my friends and what's more…he expects me to work with him in the audition for the play."
"That's funny…that' not like Ren…"
"What are you talking about! He beat up my friends! What do you that's not like him?"
"No, that part I believe…but audition for the play?" she asked raising one delicate eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
''From what I know of Ren he lives by only three things…Training, fighting and more training. Oh! And let's not forget winning, of course. Auditions are not a part of it."
"I think he owes my brother a favor of some sort."
"That must be a one very big favor…"
"Who does he think he is anyway? After a stunt like that I'd be surprised if I had any friends left!"
"You are very strange, Pirika…"
"I'm strange! I'm the victim here. Why am I strange?"
"I've seen you charm guys, who are not half as good-looking as Ren all the time. Then Ren, one of the most popular and good-looking guys in school notice you and you complain. With Ren you'd be lucky to get a glance unless you're 'worthy' in his eyes"
"Of all the conceited…he talks to you. So are you 'worthy'?"
"I'm the fiancée of the Shaman King, class president and currently the most popular girl in school…what do you think?''
Pirika blushed. ''But why is he talking to me?''
"Hmm…you're the sister of one of the Shamans, the most popular and the most exclusive group in school, very popular and the only smart cheerleader in the team…"
"Hey, that was not very nice thing to say about my team mates!"
"It's not nice but it's true."
Pirika sat beside Anna and slammed her head on the table. "What am I going to do?"
Anna slammed the book she was reading shut. "Deal with it"
