CHAPTER 2 : COLONELLO'S CONFESSION
I walked to my locker, exhausted. The whole morning of cooking class and the next is music class. I groaned and open my locker. While I was stuffing my books, I heard giggling behind me. I turned and saw Colonello-san and Luche sensei walking together, chatting. I turned back. I hate this feeling—the feeling of jealousy. I sighed and closed my locker. I walked towards the music room and searched for Bianchi.
But she saw me first and waved. I walked towards her and sat down beside. Our music teacher, Mukuro-san was writing something on the board. Suddenly, the door slide open and a gorgeous boy walked in, taking a seat on the front row. I turned to look at Bianchi and whispered. "Who's that boy?" I asked. She looked around. "Which?" she asked back and I slapped my forehead. "The blonde that just walked in," I said. Bianchi looked around and 'oh'. "That? You don't know? He's the new transferred senior. His name is Dino something like that. Why, you interested?" Bianchi teased. "No. I was just asking." I denied and look away.
Seriously, that boy looked a lot like Colonello-san. His blonde hair, blue eyes... "
Lal Mirch."
Suddenly someone called out my name. "Lal Mirch with Dino Cavallone," Mukuro-san said and my jaw dropped. "What?" I gasped. "You're with Dino-kun, Lal-chan. What a dream come true." Bianchi said, grinning. I blushed when Dino turned and smiled. Then he turns back. Mukuro-san read out all the pairings one by one. "Bianchi Hayato and Romeo," And that's when Bianchi let out a very loud: "YES !" And she punched her fist up in the air excited. When I turned to look at Romeo, his face has become pale white, no. Pale blue—whatever… The fact is he is very scared now.
"Alright, now please go with your pairing and chose one instrument. This is for the end year trial and the marks will go straight into your report cards." Mukuro-san said. Bianchi had run over to Romeo with full speed, and grabbing his hand, they went to choose the instrument. Dino walked towards me and smiled. "Well, what instrument can you play?" he asked. I think hard. "Well, err...maybe the flute?" I said, giggling. Okay, Lal Mirch. That doesn't even sound like you. I bit my lips when I saw Dino staring.
Then he smiled. "Alright, I'll take the violin then." He smiled and walked to the front. I followed behind bluntly. "There you go." He said, handing me the flute. We were given three days to practice. "When shall we practice..uhh..." Dino stopped. "Lal. Lal Mirch." I said. "Yeah, when shall we practice, Lal-chan?" he repeated. Honestly, I like the way he said my name. "Lal-chan?" he waved in front of me. I was zapped out immediately. "Huh? Oh, what about every morning before class started?" I asked and Dino smiled. "No problem. Ja, see you tomorrow!" he said, and walked away.
Arms wrapped my shoulder. "Lal-chan...How was it?" Bianchi asked, grinning. I blushed and turn to face Bianchi. "What…what?" I asked, pretending not to know. "Hm hmm, I mean...did he ask you out?" Binachi ask, twirling her pinkish-red hair. "What are you talking about? We're just deciding the time to practice." I said, walking. Bianchi followed. "How about you, Bianchi?" I changed the subject. "Romeo, you mean?" she laughed. "I'm so happy that he loved me. He even promised to eat the chocolate cookies I'm baking for him!" Bianchi said dreamily. My jaw dropped. 'Poor Romeo...' I thought.
When I was walking out of the school gate, Colonello-san's car stopped in front of me. "Mind for a ride, kora?" He asked, smiling. Hesitate, I went it. The car zoomed at high speed. "Um, Colonello." I started to say. "Yes?" he turned and I almost stop breathing. "Uh, well...don't you need to fetch Luche sensei?" I asked carefully. Colonello-san seems to think before he look back in front. "Nah, she can go home herself. I'm not her boyfriend or what to send her home." The traffic light turned red and the car stopped.
"Isn't she your fiancée?" I asked surprised. Still looking in front, he laughed softly. "We cancelled the marriage." He said. Shocked, I didn't know what to say. "But-but why? She was a good woman." I said, staring at Colonello-san. He laughed. "I know. But what can I do when I have another in my mind, kora?" he said, didn't even look at me. My heart jumped. "A-another?" I asked back.
He pulls the gear when the light turned green. "Yes. And you know who it is, right? It's you." He said. I blushed red. "But...why?" I asked, looking down. Suddenly I don't feel happy at all. The fact is I'm not even happy at the confession. "I found out that Luche and I don't even suit each other. She's on the soft side while I'm on the wild side. And you are too. And she told me, she couldn't keep up with me and she got tired." Colonello-san said, as he pulled over at my house. Finally, he looks at me.
