Chapter 4
Rukawa was kicked out from the classroom by the math teacher for dozing off in his class. Besides that he had given the sensei a black eye. He was told to go to the principle's office and he walked down the corridor reluctantly.
When he reached the office he knocked on the door and heard a very annoyed sort of voice calling him to enter. He opened the door and walked in and stood rooted on the spot when he saw Yuiiko standing before the desk of the principle. She turned around to look at him with sleepy eyes.
She fell asleep in class too? Rukawa thought to himself as he shut the door.
"Rukawa-san, please do not tell me that you are send here for sleeping in class." The principle said.
Rukawa just shrugged and nodded.
The principle groaned. "And you hit the sensei again..."
Rukawa nodded again.
"Why have I got to deal with such students!!!?" The Principle complained raising both his hands up in the air looking up the ceiling.
Yuiiko stood motionlessly in front of his desk without reaction and her eyes were half closed.
"First I have Sakuragi-san here wrestling a boy to the floor for waking her up in class, and now another who give the sensei a black eye."
Rukawa was surprised that Yuiiko fought in class but remained silent. He turned over to look at her who ignored his presence and stared at the principle with her expressionless face and her eyes still half closed.
And I thought people complained that I am expressionless, she could beat me to it. Rukawa thought silently.
"Alright, both of you!" the principle snapped. "Detention!!!! Both of you will have to clean up every single washroom in your block!"
That snapped Yuiiko out of her trance. She stared at the principle disbelievingly.
"You can't do that!" She protested.
"Watch me!!!!" The principle roared. "Now OUT!!!!"
Yuiiko and Rukawa walked out the office together solemnly.
"You fought in class?" Rukawa asked after they the office door shut behind them.
"I hated it when someone disturbed me when I'm sleeping."
Rukawa raised his eyebrows slightly. Why does that sound so familiar?
"I'll see you after school..." Yuiiko mumbled as she closed her mouth shutting off a yawn.
She walked away from Rukawa slowly heading towards the year one block. Rukawa watched her turning around the corner and disappeared as he turned the opposite direction and walked off. There was only one place he had in mind- the roof top. He need more sleep.
After school...
"What is she doing here?"
"Why is she sleeping here?"
"I have no idea."
"Do you think we should wake her up?"
Yuiiko was awakened by whispering around her, as she opened her eyes agitated. When she got her focus back she found several boys and girls grouped around her watching her. She sat up hastily and looked around. She had gone to the auditorium instead of back to class to get more sleep. The auditorium was always empty except after school when, the Literature Club, Music Club and Drama Club would group up to use the stage.
She had slept on five chairs her body stretched out on her side, with an arm under her head. She had no idea that she had slept through school hours and now seeing more students pouring into the auditorium- she knew that school had already ended. She swung her feet to the floor, got up swiftly and headed for the exit ignoring the stares of the students who caught her sleeping.
She headed back to her classroom to get her briefcase, thinking she had the chance prepare for work when she remembered about her detention. She groaned inwardly. That was the last thing she needed now, was to cancel her concert.
Without much choice she headed for the school public phone. She needed to call up the manager to tell him about the unavoidable circumstances. She was glad that the corridor where the public phones were was empty. Going up to one of them she picked up the receiver and pushed some coins into the machine.
Rukawa sat up and stretched when he was awakened by the last bell of the school. Getting up reluctantly he head towards the door and went down the stairs slowly. When he reached the landing and turned around the corner where the public phones were he stopped immediately when he saw Yuiiko standing by one of the phone speaking urgently.
"I'm sorry about the inconvenience." She said softly though Rukawa could hear every word clearly. "Symphony couldn't make it to the concert today..."
Symphony? Rukawa thought his eyes widened with surprised. Immediately he retreated back into the corner where he had come from listening to her.
"Yes, I'm very sorry." She continued. "Tell the guests, Symphony's greatest regret and sadness for not able to perform today..."
Rukawa frowned slightly. Yuiiko knows who Symphony is? Why can't she perform today? Had she fallen sick?
"So sorry for your inconvenience..."
Yuiiko hang up the phone softly looking down the ground with a sigh. She turned and walked down the corridor where Rukawa was standing. Rukawa panicked when he realized he was unable to get away in such a last minute, stood rooted on the spot.
Yuiiko turned around the corner and saw Rukawa standing there looking at her curiously. Yuiiko paled when seeing him standing so close by when she was having the conversation with the manager.
Did he hear what I said? Yuiiko thought in horror.
Rukawa watched her blenched and blinked once. Why was she so afraid to let others know that she knew who Symphony is? Was she afraid that they might bother her all day about Symphony's " Yuiiko stammered slightly. It was the first time Rukawa had ever heard her stammering. "What are you doing here?"
"What are you?"
"I was just passing by...." Yuiiko answered turning away and crossing her finger hopefully that Rukawa didn't hear her conversation earlier.
She walked passed him without glancing at him again but what Rukawa asked made her whirled so fast to look at him she nearly tripped over.
"You know Symphony?"
"What made you ask me that?"
"I heard you talking about her not able to perform today."
Yuiiko sighed with relief inwardly. So he didn't find out.
"Yes, I know her..." Yuiiko nodded, finally getting back her composure.
"My sister is a huge fan of hers."
"I know..." Yuiiko smiled remembering the little girl.
"Nani?"
"I mean..." Yuiiko smacked her head inwardly. "Really?"
Rukawa narrowed his eyes watching Yuiiko, as they both made their way down the corridor together for their detention. This girl was definitely hiding something from him and everyone else around her.
