CHAPTER 3: THE ENCOUNTER

Koizumi Household. Morning. The birds greeted the sun with happy chirping. The mother dutifully cooked the family breakfast; while the father read his newspaper; and the son prepares for school. What about the daughter, Koizumi Risa? She was sleeping peacefully in her bed. Not just sleeping, but dreaming. On her dreamland, she heard the bells ringing. Oh, there's a wedding! She exclaimed inwardly. She entered the church. The aisle was adorned with red and white roses, while the carpet was covered with its petals. The air was filled with rosy sensation, which she liked. The church was packed with people wearing. . odd dresses? Huh? I thought there's a wedding ceremeny? I must be mistaken. She was about to leave when she was stopped by someone. "Takato? Why are you here? Why are you dressed like that?" He was wearing an odd-colored 'rocker'-like shirts, and a loose baggy pants."Haha, I can't believe you're wearing that! Where's the gig? Haha!"She was laughing liked an idiot but was stopped when his brother grabbed her hand and led her to the aisle. "Wait, Takato! Stop this! It must be someone's wedding ceremony!" Her brother still led her to the front. She looked around. Otou –san? Oka-san? They were in the front chair, wearing odd dresses, like Takato himself! They were wearing hair dresses and get – ups in 1980's fashion! Things are getting weird! And then she looked at her self. To her surprise, she was wearing a wedding gown! "WHAT? I am the bride?"she asked his brother.

"Obviously," was his reply.

"But I don't know who I am marrying to?! Is this a joke? A prank? Takato, stop this it is not funny anymore!" she complained.

Her brother did not say anything as they continue to walk in the aisle. She saw her relatives and friends. Is this really my wedding? Did I finally found him? Her thoughts continued that she never noticed her brother already seated beside their parents, and she was walking alone to the altar. She saw him facing against him. Her heart jump as he was slowly facing her. Slowly . . slowly . .

Her point of view

SPLASH!

I was surprised and immediately rose up. "What the. ."

"You finally woke up, onee –chan. ." Takato said with blank expression.

"You idiot! Why did you spill water to me?!" I shouted furiously.

"You don't wake up. ."

"You can just pat me or shake me till I wake up, idiot!"

"I tried that million times, you heavy sleeper. Instead of talking nonsense there, you better dress up, or you will be late.." He closed the door and went downstairs. Huh? Late? What is he talking about? Then I heard him say, I going to school now. . and mother said, take care!

OH NO! IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS!

I rushed to the bathroom and cleaned myself. After 10 minutes of dressing up and packing and no eating breakfast, I ran to Maido High, my school. I'm such an idiot to be late at first day of high school! It might be a bad omen! Arrgghh! I ran and ran like the Flash and finally to the school grounds. I saw Nobu – chan and Chiharu-chan on the bulletin board. Phew! Just in time!

"What's with the rush?" Nobuko Ishihara, my middle school classmate, asked in obviously-you-are-late-again-manner. She is one of my bestfriends. We agreed to have same high school. She is sandy-haired, moody and outspoken, which I like her the most. She is obsessed in fashion and to her boyfriend, ugh.

"Duh, of course, I woke up late.." I answered.

"Ohayo, Risa – chan.." my other bestfriend, greeted sweetly.

"Ohayo, Chiharu-chan." She is Chiharu Tanaka, the smallest among us. (No woman can surpass my height T_T ) I envied her because she is small, feminine and cute. I am not cute nor beautiful, I'm just a giantess!

"Let's see the class list! I hope we are all classmates!" Nobu-chan said enthusiastically.

"I wish we have cute classmates!" I sparked with delight. Unknowingly, I bumped into someone.

"Ouch!" we both said.

A small boy! Is this kind of creature exist in Japan? Haha well a giant girl is existing and talking here :I

"I'm sorry I didn't see you," oops, I didn't intentionally say that. But he take it on other way. "You, are ya looking for a fight?!" the small guy growled.

"No, no," I defended his accusation. "I just didn't see you 'cause your . ." What now? Because your short? Double oopss. I cant say anything! "I'm sorry. . Uhm. ."

The short guy turned red, and literally, smokes were coming off his head! "Amazon!"

I snapped. How dare him! "I said I'm sorry, midget!" I said sarcastically, I don't care anymore!

"Totem pole!"

"You're looking for fight, microbe!"

"Titan!"

"Chibi!"

We gritted our teeth. Students and teachers were staring at us, like their watching an action movie. I just saw someone eating pop corn! What's this, an entertaining show?! But I don't care, I hate this dwarf standing in front of me!

"Enough that guys," Nobu – chan intervened. "Risa-chan, Otani-kun, please don't act like kids!"

Huh? "You know him/her?" chibi and I inquired in unison. I glared him. He glared back.

"Risa, this is Otani Atsushi. ." she introduced.

"HAHAHA, big valley, very funny," I laughed sarcastically.

"Shut up, Amazon!"

"And Otani-kun, this is Koizumi Risa," my sandy-haired friend added.

That big valley laughed hard. How dare him! "HAHAHA, small spring, haha, what an irony!"

I can't control myself anymore!

The next thing happened was the midget was thrown meters away with a punched mark on his face. . .


It's not Otani-kun and Koizumi-chan if they meet without starting a quarrel : ) I love the squabbling comedy duo. .

Sorry, I'm not so good in English :O , English is not my first language and I'm not good in writing and writing the exact words I want to convey :( . . Please bear with me! I'm trying to read novels to improve myself . . hehe
