I'm so tired. I just came back from the Halloween activity night at school. I didn't dress up. But I was jokingly called a whore, slut and hooker. (They were just kidding I'm the exact opposite of all those things) but I wasn't able to eat dinner before I left, okay so I had a really disgusting tasting salad, I decided to change my costume to an anorexic. But since I was hungry I grabbed a snickers bar. And trust me; just grabbing one does not prolong the hunger. Then I had a sugar rush and I was extremely hyper. I was skipping the through the halls like a total ass after playing a game of sudden death ping pong. I bull dozed my friend… and then my sister called me. Again and again. I had to keep running into the bathroom to take her calls. That's when the hyper ness died and I got sleepy and really deep sigh like. But this year they did make a good haunted house, and since they moves all of the desks from the room they did it in I'm hoping when they put them back ill finally have the good desk in Spanish. A girl can only dream. Well as I can tell you guys don't care about my night so I'll just get to the story.
Disclaimer- I own nothing.
Mikey starred at her as she cleaned the counter of the bar with a rag. She was so beautiful. He had thought so, even a year ago when they had first met. Back then her hair had been short and she acted like a boy with a grudge on the world.
Now her hair reached mid back and was dyed blond. She had come up with the conclusions that drunken men tip better for American looking girls. And because she also had the ability to speak perfect English she was the best tipped bartender in the bar. Mikey had always joked about that because he was a blond too but he was she was liked better by the people.
Mikey had always felt a bit jealous when the low lifes' that came in got more attention from her then he did. He had fallen in love with her while working over time with her one night a long time ago.
He had been teaching her how to put on a show while serving people on a slow day. She tried throwing a bottle of sake in the air then catching it but then missed it. His hand her hers automatically went to the same place colliding each other trying to catch the bottle.
She smiled sheepishly when it shattered on the floor. There fingers had been tangled with each others while trying to catch it. He smiled at her as she pulled her hair behind her ear, keeping her hand with his.
He had smiled at her and she bit her lip. And then Mia, with her perfect timing, ran out of her office looking around as if she were in enemy territory. When she saw the broken bottle of sake on the ground in between the two she started to scream.
Of course her yells were directed at Mikey. She had pulled him by the ear to the storage room to get the proper cleaning utensils. As Mia made him clean up the mess he looked up at Mizuki and she laughed and made a joke about how cleaning up seemed to suit him.
It was that exact moment that he knew his heart became hers. Every moment since then he had secretly pinned for her. He never let her know it, if he did it would cause some fight between Mizuki and Ann, his girlfriend.
Mikey smiled at the teen and walked over behind her. "Missed a spot rookie." He informed her. "Oh come on! I've worked here for a year! How come I'm still the rookie?" Cho laughed at her complaints.
"You're rookie until someone else comes here for a job. I had to wait three years before you came along to take that nickname away from me. Well, actually Ann was supposed to have it for a year of my time but she's creepy." Mia carried some boxes into the room. "Well it's like your new name is so much better. Aye private?"
Cho threw an apron at Mikey and everyone laughed. Cho was the short and plumper kid that everyone loved to laugh at. Before he came to the bar he had tried to be a stand up comedian but his act was worse then 5 year olds knock knock jokes.
Mikey was the tall skinny pale kid who wares his emotions on his sleeve. He had worked at the bar loner then anyone else. He had even been there before Mia owned it. He needed to be around fun loving people or else he would die of boredom, or so he claims. His hair was short and was always messy. He was always being made fun of for trying to skate board on the crowded streets of Japan.
Ann came out from the storage room caring even more boxes like Mia had been. She looked around the room with her evil glare and everyone's good time just seemed to stop. She placed her boxes on top of Mia's and then leaned against the wall next to Mikey.
She starred at Mizuki and then at her boyfriend. She hated Mizuki for the way she made Mikey stare at her that way. She crossed her arms across her chest and gave her boyfriend a long kiss just to make sure for the millionth time that everyone was clear he was hers.
Mizuki just tried to ignore them both. "What's in the boxes Mia?" she asked. The owner of the bar gave a wide grin. "Well tonight we're shutting down the whole bar. Tokyo High has rented the whole place out for there graduation party!"
Everyone else looked impressed. Every time that someone rented the whole place out meant that they would all be getting a bonuses in there checks that month. Mizuki faked a smile. Ann noticed her fakeness.
"What's wrong Mizuki?" she asked acting like she cared. She knew that there was a secret in here somewhere. Ann was determined to pry it out in front f everyone. "Oh it's nothing!" she said a bit too quickly making everyone else know that something was up.
"No really Mize. What's up?" Cho asked taking his attention away from the box full of streamers. Everyone was starring at her and she had no choice but to spill. "My old friend goes to Tokyo. He's graduating this year."
Mikey couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Finally! We find some sort of clue on the mysterious Mizuki's past. One night, out of no where came a mysterious looking girl wearing a boy's school uniform. Within minuets she's got a job and the apartment above the bar… without even asking!"
Mia laughed. "Are you still complaining about that? I'm sorry general Mikey but she just needed it more then you did." He stuck out his tongue at the owner of the bar. They both made faces at each other for awhile.
Finally Ann was getting sick of the complete immaturity of everyone around her. "Can we just decorate this place already?" she turned around carrying one of the boxes to the far side of the bar.
Cho made a funny face and imitated Ann talking. Mikey punched in the in the face sending him flying into the wall and walked over to his girlfriend. "You okay?" Mizuki asked him concerned. He nodded.
"If he hadn't been distracted by Ann then he would have hit me harder. You can't mess with the girlfriend, no matter what kind of a bitch she's being." The blond teen giggled and watched the two of them on the other side of the room.
There were wrapped in each others arms and rocking slightly back and forth. Mizuki felt a pang in her heart when she saw them together. Ann really was a bitch. She could never understand why Mikey loved her so much, they were complete opposites. She knew that opposites didn't go together. Her and Sano had been the painful truth of that.
'I would be better with him then her. She's always yelling at him and trying to boss us around. Why are they still together!' she asked herself in confusion. She turned her head away from the couple and back to a box Cho was hanging decorations out of.
She went over to him and started to help. "So, does this mean that your 19 now?" Cho asked her cutting a piece of tape with his teeth. "I'm still 17 but I'll be 18 in a few months." The comedian nodded.
"Did you know that Mikey started to work here when he was 10? His step dad used to own the place before Mia bought it. That's the same year that he moved here from America. I still can't believe that he was forced to move here and learn a whole new language because him mom married someone from here."
Mizuki nodded. "The school I went to here was hard enough as it was while I actually knew the language." Mia started hanging the banner right over the bar area. "Yeah but it was really hard for him. He had something wrong with him that caused him to stutter when he was younger. It made understanding him harder then it would normally.
"That's when he met Ann. All the kids used to make fun of him but she would beat the shit out of anyone who would say anything bad to him." Mizuki looked at Ann. She was extremely skinny and looked like she would break in half if you squeezed her hard enough. The teen was having a hard time imagining her beating the shit out of anyone.
"Eventually the stutter went away, even though if you listen closely you can still hear it. But then Mikey owed so much to Ann. She was the first person to except him here. When he learned that she loved him he knew that he would repay her with his own love."
Cho tried to get some tape off of his finger with Mizuki starred in wonder. "Well anyways. I told you that because I know that you don't get why there together. But he's being with her to pay back years of kindness. He's loved her for a long time now, no matter mean she's gotten over the years. He knows that she's just defensive of him."
"I guess when there's a type of love like that there's nothing else anyone can do about it. We can only sit by and stop wondering why they got together in the first place." Mizuki stated almost mumbling.
Within hours the whole place was decorated in the Tokyo High colors. (That I don't know what they are.) Mizuki bit her lip anxiously. There was only so much time that she had in between now and the time she would see Kagurazaka again.
'Maybe he'll skip the party. He hates his school and everyone in it. Why would he spend more time with them then he had too? I really don't want to see him. I still blame him… for everything that's happened to me back then.'
And as Mizuki waited anxiously to see if he would be there… okay this chapter is over. I've decided that this is just way too long. I hate long chapters, even though I know most people prefer them. Please review! I wrote this chapter in around an hour and I'm dead tired!
