100 Days with Mr. Arrogant
-------------------------------
Chapter Five: Surprises
Mimi dashed to her room after arriving. Sora was rather surprised by her weird actions. She tried to knock at her door, but she doesn't seem to hear it.
"What's gotten into the miss?" a maid asked.
"I don't know, she looks jumpy today. I wonder what happened on her first day." Sora said. Then the thought of Taichi's silly antics came to her. "Hmn… does he have something to do with it?"
So Sora called Taichi.
"Hey, Sora! No!" Taichi cried. "Believe me, how could I hurt such a nice girl?"
"You know anyone she's been since you separate ways?"
"Of course! My best friend,"
"Koushiro?" Sora asked.
"No!" he answered.
"Then who else?" Sora asked again.
"You wouldn't believe this!" Taichi began proudly. "You guess first."
"Argh! Yagami Taichi, I'm not playing games with you!" Sora yelled.
Taichi's ear practically hurt. "Okay, I'll spoil the excitement." He surrendered. "It's just Ishida Yamato, the college heartthrob."
"WHHHAAAATTT!"
-------------------------------
Yamato flipped the cover of his cellphone. "You're not going to escape now." He said. "Now that I knew it, she's silly enough to leave her wallet just like that…" then he smiled mysteriously.
He dialed Mimi's cellphone number. Just as he thought, she's going to answer it immediately.
"Yes?" she asked softly. "This is Mimi…"
"What's that unenergetic tone all about?"
"Who's this?" she asked
"Don't you remember me, little sister?" he said suddenly.
"I-Ishida… Y-Yamato!" she stammered "How are you feeling? Are you alright? I'm sorry 'bout a while ago---"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK!" he yelled. Mimi suddenly got more scared of him.
"We have unfinished business." He finally said seriously. Mimi suddenly don't know what to do, and she switched off the phone and covered her head with the pillow.
"Oh no!" she thought. "What's he gonna do?"
She closed her eyes and then she fell asleep…
Yamato was still dialing her cellphone number. He got tired of it, then tried to call the phone line. Unfortunately, Sora and Taichi were still talking…
"You serious?" Sora asked. "oh come on now, Taichi. Those silly jokes won't be bought by someone! Get a grip!"
"Do you think I was joking? Look here Ms. Know-it-all. We grew up together until the fated age of 8. suddenly, they have to leave Odaiba, and then we had no connection!" Taichi explained. "Wait and see until tomorrow."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll let you meet him!"
Sora blushed. "No way! I believe you, but you don't actually need to do that!"
"Why?" Taichi asked. "Hmn… you like Yamato, right? Sora, spit it out… you are just one of those girls who wanted to yell 'I love you, Ishida-kun!' in front of his utterly cute face!"
"How dare you!" Sora was terribly blushing.
"Haha! I can't wait to see how your face looks like when you see Yamato face to face!" Taichi cried, laughing.
"Whatever. I'm definitely not affected!"
"Mimi is quite affected, but her reaction was eccentric. She seems not to like him!" Taichi told her. "What's worst is she was avoiding him!"
"Huh?"
"Anyway, got to go. Hikari was calling me." Taichi said. "Don't forget to put on some make-up!" he teased.
"Shut up!" Sora cried. "Okay, bye."
She hung up. Afterwards, the phone rang. Sora thought it was Taichi teasing her again. "Hey, Yagami! If you have nothing to do, just eat your dinner!" she yelled.
"Hello?" the voice on the other line said. Sora was embarrassed of what she did. Maybe it was one of Mimi's friends or someone.
"Oh, sorry, Good evening, Tachikawa residence!" she greeted properly.
Yamato sighed. "Is Mimi there?"
"Wait a second, sir. I'll check. May I know who's calling?" she asked.
"Uh… Ishida Yamato." He said out. Crap! Why did I have to tell my name, she'll probably not answer the phone!
Sora was flabbergasted. Ishida… Yamato? Isn't that… she thought is he courting Mimi or something?
After a while…
"I'm sorry, but she's already asleep." Sora said.
"I knew it, why would she sleep without even eating dinner?" Yamato looked at the clock in his room. "what a stupid girl… she'll get sick!" he said continuously. Sora heard everything.
"I-Is there anything you want to tell her?" she asked.
"Oh," Yamato replied. "tell her to meet Yamato at her last class or else… nothing. Never mind that. Thanks."
He hung up. Sora was too shocked to move. "Oh my god… are they in a relationship? Why didn't she told me?"
Sora recalled what Yamato murmured. I knew it, why would she sleep without even eating dinner? What a stupid girl… she'll get sick!
"He's concerned for her." She thought.
"Sora, is the Miss still eating dinner?" her mother asked. "or should I just prepare ours?"
"She's sleeping right now, mom." She answered. "I think she's just tired. Let's just wait if she'll wake up before 9."
"I see…" her mother muttered.
-------------------------------
Back at Taichi's house…
"Where is Yamato-niichan's brother now?" Hikari asked. "You see, I haven't seen him for a long time too."
"I don't know, Hikari. Yamato told me that he himself doesn't know where Takeru is." Taichi told her. "but if you just believe you'll see him, probably you would."
"I wish I could see him again." Hikari prayed. She patted her cat. "we used to play with Tailmon when she's still a kitty."
"I remember. And these are our toys. This was my dinosaur toy, Greymon." Taichi was looking up of old relics from his childhood. "I wonder if Yamato still has his wolf action figure. We bought our toys together."
"I was shocked to know that he's the famous 'Ishida-kun' of the girls!" Hikari giggled suddenly.
"What's the matter?"
"From there, we will know that he outclassed you!" she exclaimed teasingly.
Taichi blushed. "No way! He's just famous because of his face. I admit that he's handsome, but your big brother is still cute, ne, Hikari?"
Hikari silenced for a while. Taichi was desperate already. Then his sister smiled at him.
"For me, my big brother is the cutest guy!" she said honestly.
"That's my good little sister!" Taichi cried out.
"I told you not to call me that." Hikari murmured…
-------------------------------
The next day continued. Mimi silently entered her classes, and Yamato seems not to bother her than yesterday. He was even gentler than she expects him to be. She was less worried now. On her vacant period, she was waiting for Hikari's class to end. To her surprise, Yamato was standing behind her. She suddenly felt awkward. Few minutes passed by and they still remained silent.
"My plan will take place later…" Yamato thought to himself.
"What's going on? I thought he'll do something. Was he just joking last night?"
"Mimi! Good morning! How are you feeling?" Sora asked her that morning.
"I'm great!" she answered with the usual happy expression.
"Well, Ishida Yamato called and he told you to meet him on your last class."
Suddenly, Mimi bit her lip. "He… called!" she asked.
"Yup. The one and only." Sora said. "Are you guys dating?"
Mimi blushed. "Well, no! we're just classmates in most classes! That's all!"
"I hope he's not planning something!"
She suddenly felt nervous and tensed. Then Hikari came out from her class. "Mimi! Yamato-niichan!"
Mimi just waved her hand and remained frozen. Suddenly, Yamato placed his hands on her shoulders. "H-Hey!" Mimi cried
"Let's eat lunch." He said softly
"No, thanks!" Mimi said. "I'd rather eat with Hikari."
Hikari came running to meet them. "Hello guys!" she said. "Ne, Yamato-niichan, why not join us for lunch?"
Yamato removed his hands from Mimi's shoulder and nodded. "Is it Taichi's break time too?"
"It already started. But I guess he's waiting for us with Sora."
"His girlfriend?" Yamato asked. "Great, he got one before I did."
Mimi and Hikari laughed suddenly. Yamato blushed. "I hope they really are!" Mimi cried.
"I agree!" Hikari said. "Unfortunately, they are still friends right now."
"Oh," Yamato sighed. What a relief. Or else he'll be bragging about it, telling me that he's more appealing… whatever…
"… anyway, I'm dating Mimi tonight." He glanced at the girl.
"Wow!" Hikari exclaimed, hands clapping. "That's nice to hear from you!"
Mimi was blushing… "No, wait---"
"I liked her from the first time I saw her…" Yamato said, looking around him. Finally, he gave Mimi a melting stare. This time, she wasn't able to deny.
Beyond her knowledge, envious fan girls are watching over them…
