Chapter Seven.
Dear Journal,
Monday morning, I decided to write before I go to work since I woke up pretty early, and got ready too. Sunday was really boring, there really wasn't anything important. Actually yeah, I don't get why I'm writing in here. Though, I'm still pretty upset about how I didn't get to see Kari when I visited my parents, or when I didn't go to the buffet. She could have at least called or something, unless she lost my number. Anyways, off to a new week. Peace!
Taichi.
I closed my journal as I waited for the other two girls got ready I decided to wake up Sora just for the fun of it. I ran into her room and hopped into her bed poking her shoulder.
"Sora, Sora, Sora, Sora, Sora."
"Hm?" She mumbled as she moved to the other side as I groaned in frustration and decided to lay on top of her to wake her up. She immediately opened her eyes and looked at me with her face all red.
"Morning, Sora." I chirped happily giving her a warm smile.
"Hi? What are you doing on my bed?" She asked trying not to make eye contact with me as I laughed and got off of her.
"Nothing really, just bored. Waiting for the other two to hurry their asses up." I explained. I felt a large smack on the head as Sora giggled and I looked in the back of me.
"Let's go flirt." Melanie said as I raised a brow and wrapped a arm around her.
"Jealo-"
"I dare you to say it, if you do today will be your funereal." I chuckled and walked out of Sora's room with her and Mimi as we all waved bye to her. Melanie started the car, she was going to the direction to where Mimi's job was until she coughed.
"I'm not actually going to work Mel, just drop me to the mall."
She sighed and drove a little quicker to my job, "Why didn't you say anything earlier? You know I'm in a rush. Something going on?"
"Nope, just have a day off that's all."
She stopped at my job's parking lot as I walked away waving bye at them as she honked at me and started to drive out. 'Mimi, has a day off. I didn't even know that.'
-Mimi's Views-
"Pick me up after work?" I asked standing outside the car.
"Maybe. If not I'll ask Izzy to pick you up." She teased as I glared at her and started walking in the mall. I didn't quite tell them about how I'm going to quit my job for something more interesting or something fun. I decided to go audition, for modeling. Yesterday I went to the mall and I saw the board announcing it, and auditions are all this week. So why not right? I stopped by the place where there were many models, they were all tall and skinny too. I stopped by the desk where I met a guy, his black hair was messy yet it suits him, covering a side of his face a little.
"Hello."
"Hello Miss, I just need you to write your information on this form, here is your tag. Goodluck." He gave me a grin as I blushed and grabbed the things from his desk and sat down on a chair. As I finished filling them out, I gave the paper back to the guy. I waited on my same spot, until I heard my name. It was going by quick even if there was a lot of people. I felt my phone vibrating as I checked it a smiled when I saw the name, "Tai Kamiya" on it.
"Hey you, I figured it all out. You're skipping your job just to audition for that modeling thing! Anyways, good luck Meems, you'll do good. (:"
I blushed hard as I replied back, "Thanks Tai."
"Tachikawa, Mimi." The same man called my name as I walked over, "Go on the left side, second room please. Good luck once again." I smiled and walked over to the room he told me to go to.
As I walked in I noticed four people sitting down behind a desk and they're known too, well to me. Mrs. Fumiyoki, one of the best designers in Japan. Mr. Fujioka, a photographer. Then there's Muko and Chi Tamiro, one of the best models in all of Japan. They were gorgeous, with they're shiny hairs, beautiful eyes, everything about them was beautiful. I walked in the room practically nervous, shaking in my heels as they gave me a smile.
"Mimi Tachikawa, correct?" Mrs. Fumiyoki asked as I nodded and smile.
"Well tell us, why do you want to model?" She asked.
"I wanted to try something new. I've actually wanted to model for quite a while now, but never had the chance to. People say I have potential to be a model so I wanted to just try." I explained as they all talked together in a group before they went to their attention towards me.
"I think you're looks are absolutely adorable, yet stunning." Muko said.
"We're going to call you back tomorrow or sometime this week if you made it or not. Before you do, do a walk, from there to here." I nodded as I started walking, in a straight line. Then walked back to my spot as they all gave me a standing ovation. I blushed as the Tamiro sisters walked towards me.
"You are a natural we're impressed!" They both exclaimed in unison as I grinned.
"Thank you very much." After I thanked them Mr. Fujioka grabbed my hand and placed me on a wall to take a picture of me. I smiled widely as he took many shots after he was done I felt my phone vibrating as they told me I was done for today. When I walked out I checked my phone, it was from Melanie probably to tell me she's already at the parking lot. I tucked it back in my pocket and ran to the parking lot and saw Melanie and Tai talking as I opened the car door.
"Hella, late, Mimi." They both said as I just ignored their attitudes.
"How was it though?" Tai asked eating a vanilla crème puff as he offered one, of course I took one since I loved Melanie's deserts.
"It went well, like really well. They said I was a natural!"
He grinned, "Well of course, since you are really attractive anyways." I blushed and looked out the window until Melanie's voice popped in.
"Look, if you're going to model you better not be those crazy anorexic girls who are obsessed with heavy make-up and they're weight."
I groaned in annoyance and murmured, "You sound like my mom Mel."
"Just watching out, I know how those girls are you know. Weird stuff, but some of them aren't like that. Thankfully." I just rolled my eyes and kept eating my crème puff not caring what she or probably anyone else thinks.
-Tai's Views-
When I opened the door to the house, I couldn't believe my eyes. I actually thought I was day dreaming. Kari, my sister, was right there on the couch with Sora. I was speechless, it's been a long time since I've seen her, she's grown up so much.
"Hey, Tai." She smiled and walked up to me, as I gave her a hug back and I felt my eyes watering.
"We're going to go, you guys take your time." They all said in unison as they all went walking to their rooms as I looked at Kari as we sat next to each other.
"I'm surprise you're actually not living with Mom and Dad now." She teased as I chuckled.
"Well, they kicked me out anyways."
"I tried calling you, but you never answer. So I gave up." She said playing with her fingers as I raised a brow.
"What? I never even got a call from you. Didn't Dad tell you, I changed my number?"
She gritted her teeth and rubbed her neck, "No wonder. How embarrassing."
As a awkward silence follower after that I broke it, "So you're still with your boyfriend, by the way."
She bit her lip and shook her head, "Don't get mad, I broke up with him."
I sighed in relief, "I see. 'Bout to say. You wanna spend time together this weekend, I'll take you out for some ice cream."
She giggled and nodded, "Like old days, huh?"
I nodded back and looked down at my shoes, "You know Kari, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you like I should have been. I'm such a bad big bro, I've been completely lazy and I was so careless."
"Tai, it's fine. I'm glad you're taking small steps into life. You look even happier too. I'm really proud of you big bro. Anyways, I have to go. My turn to cook dinner, I'll see you this weekend. Saturday?" She stood up and started walking towards the door as I followed and opened the door for her.
"Afternoon, see ya." We both waved goodbye, as I closed the door and smiled. Finally I got to see Kari not only that, she forgave me for all I've done to her. I couldn't wait for this week to come by fast, hopefully.
Dear Journal,
Today is Saturday! Saturday! Which means Kari and I are going to have some bonding time together. Last night Mimi found out she made it, she quit her job to become a model. Though to be honest, I have a bad feeling about it. It's her choice though, and I'll approve of it all the way. Sora and Melanie went to the store yesterday and bought something, so I'm excited to see what it is. Anyways, I'm done here. Peace!
Taichi.
I went downstairs since everyone else was there, and I noticed a pole on the side where the entrance of the kitchen was. I started laughing and I assume they were finished.
"It was half-off, we had to get it." Sora explained as Melanie joined in, "Tai, test it out for us please."
I nodded and I jumped on the pole but it ended up breaking and I fell off along with the pole on top of me. They all laughed hard, as the doorbell rang. Mimi opened it and it was Kari, she went in and noticed me on the floor as she giggled.
"Tai, you're weird. You ready though?" I nodded and went out the house with her as everyone waved bye to us.
-Mimi's Views-
After an hour they finally fixed it as we went out to go to the mall near here. I needed new clothes and a new haircut. As we arrived I dragged the two with me into a salon as they both groaned and sat next to each other.
"Hi, I need my hair dye and haircut."
"Oh! Of course, what color and style?"
"Up to you." I smiled as he looked at Melanie.
"Mmm, we'll make your hair a darker brown as for her hair, you're getting her cut."
Melanie immediately got mad, "What? I lived for this hair, no one's not taking it!" The guy just shrugged and began cutting my hair like hers. I loved Melanie's haircut, it was all layered and everything. 'Maybe I can fit it more better than she can.'
She asked another hairstylist for a new haircut, her long hair from her stomach was gone as Sora's jaw was opened. After a half an hour my hair was getting colored and Melanie's hair was different, it was up to her shoulders get it had her tail near her chest and it was layered her bangs were on her side and it was covering on of her eyebrows.
"Nice cut Mel, it's really nice." Sora complimented on her as she smiled. I rolled my eyes and just looked at myself in the mirror.
"Hey Meems, we're going to wander off. You go do you, until you're finish." I nodded as they walked out of the salon.
-Tai's Views-
"You know, Tai. Even if you're older you're still a weirdo." Kari said as I grinned at her and chuckled.
"You think so? Look, there's a bowling place, let's play!" I suggested as we both walked in. I paid everything as I was searching for a bowling bowl that I can carry. After that I went back to my spot with Kari.
"Wanna make a bet Tai?" Kari asked as I nodded, "If I win I dare you to kiss one of your roommates on the lips."
"And if I win you have to bring me to a buffet." I said proudly as we shook hands and started playing. I haven't bowled in a long time, but seriously Kari was kicking my butt pretty good. She kept getting spares and I would get some too, but then I'd miss some of the time. The last set of the game, we both did good. Yet, I lost.
"I win! You pretty much suck." She laughed as she smiled, "But I'll bring you to a buffet next time okay?" I smiled and we returned the shoes back then we walked to my car and head on home.
When we arrived home I walked in with me as I saw Melanie on the couch watching TV she even dyed her hair. I sat next to her as she smiled.
"Hi Mel, nice hair."
She groaned but it wasn't Melanie, "Tai, it's me, Mimi. Melanie's upstairs cleaning."
"I'm sorry! You just look like Melanie cause the hair and all that. It looks nice on you though." I complimented as the other two girls came down as my jaw dropped.
"Mel, you look pretty." Kari said as Melanie blushed. Her hair, was gone, it was so long now it's short. She loved her hair so much, but why'd she cut it.
"I thought you loved your hair, Mel." She just shrugged and sat next to Sora. As Kari whispered into my ear, "Remember, I won the bet."
I sighed and I stood up as they all looked at me, as I reached over each of their faces and kissed them all on the lips as Sora and Mimi covered their faces as Melanie stood up. Only for me to receive a slap in the face.
"What a dick move Tai!" She yelled as I smiled only for her to smile a little. Kari clapped her hands and then smiled, "I only said one, but all of them was good too. Good job, well I gotta go. See you guys again."
"Bye Kari." We all said at the same time as everyone left the room and I just shrugged and sat down on the couch to watch some TV. 'Priceless reactions.'
-Sora's Views-
"Someone enjoyed that kiss." A voice came in my room as I jumped and looked in back of me, it was Melanie. I forced a laughed.
"You know Sora, his lips tasted like ice cream. Pretty weird, I want his chap stick." We both laughed as she sat next to me on the bed.
"You seem mad about how Mimi's hairstylist took your hair."
She shrugged, "I did at first, but she's doing it only because of her modeling career. I don't blame her, but if she doesn't like it I'll be all on her face about it." She chuckled then added, "I hope she doesn't do anything bad though, I mean like not eating or anything about that."
"I know, but she won't change. I hope so that is." She got up and walked out the room, "Sweet dreams Sora, sweet dreams about Tai that is." She teased as I blushed.
"Shut up Mel! Oh my wow." I covered my body with my blanket and felt my lips with my finger. 'It was just a bet nothing important.'
