CHAPTER THREE!
Yesh, chapter 3!
R&R!
Long chapter by the way! I wasn't gonna post this until I got one more review, buy hey, I'm not that mean. I just feel like updating quickly. Weird, don't ya think?
.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.
I was in a weird mood; I did not eat. I couldn't sleep through the night which was probably Micchi's fault because he kept moving. I was glad he wasn't kidding about actually staying, I found him on the floor sleeping, hugging a pillow tightly. I just left him and went to school alone, pretending siblings-whatever. I am not waking him up. The class was silent when Jin entered the room. Every girl who was in the classroom looked at him in awe, what made him so special anyway? All that was behind that façade of niceness was pure evilness who likes to pick on the weaker ones. I wonder where's the third one to the group: Blondie. Not that I cared or anything, he would usually be around during the mourning's than leave after wards; information obtained from Micchi. After my random daze, I snapped back into reality, a pair of honey brown orbs watched me. Why was Jin staring at me?
It's making me feel weird. When I felt like this would be a perfect time to go to my locker, just to get out of here, I did just that. Footsteps trailed right in back of me. It was like those horror movie scene when your walking in a hall way, it's dark and gloomy and you run for your life because you heard footsteps. Except, I wasn't scared. Just creeped. Not much of a difference, ey? I quickened my walking pace to the point where I was running. What does he want! Leave me alone! I didn't watch what was in front of me, just down below. Just then, I bumped into someone. Making me fall right on my bottom, owie!
"Sor--"
"Watch where your going, you stupid idiot."
Blondie. Nobody else can make such an annoying tone of voice.
"Calm it down, one of your little lackeys was chasing me."
"Lackey?"
"Black-haired guy."
"He's not even there. . ."
I sprang back to my feet and dusted off my shirt, it was true, he was not there. If it wasn't him who was chasing me, who was? A ghost? Nah, I'm exaggerating. My eyes looked back at Blondie, he seemed so annoyed just looking at me. What the hell did I do now? That reminds me, where are those good-for-nothing, slutty girlfriends of his. Wouldn't they usually come out by now? As if he was reading my mind, he just pointed to the classroom door right beside us.
The light brown wooden oak door had a large glass opening where you can see clearly the perfect view of the classroom. It was dark but good enough to see, a boy-senior maybe, was making out with this girl. So? What does this-oh. That's one of his girlfriends. One of those cheerleaders. Was he actually hurt? I wanted to hug him-was that why he was so moody looking? Then again, that wouldn't be the right 'guy' thing to do. "Hey, you OK?" Was what I asked him. I titled my head, giving him a really sad smile.
"What? Me? Of course. Why I look depressed-I didn't get enough sleep. That girl was nothing but a money-craving bitch. The guy can keep her. It's not like she was the one for me anyway."
Oh, how I wanted to slap him! Treating girls like toy. Even if they aren't good in the end, it wasn't good to rebound so quickly. "Then, who are you looking for? Just what do you really want? Fake love or real love? I don't expect your answer right now. When you come up with a reason, come and tell me. Hope you can actually come up with a good answer."
Whoa. Those words weren't meant to be said. I never thought I could actually say something like that, it was like, out of the blue. I know he's just going to laugh at me for what I just said. Well, time to prepare. No punching, Karin. Keep it to a low level.
"You sound just like a girl. For an idiot, you actually left me hanging on that, congrats, nitwit." He just waved and pass through me, I smiled, "I resent that."
I sounded like a girl? I bet no guy would have the guts to say what I said. Maybe Micchi, but he's a different story. Someone would definitely agree with that statement. Next time, I need to be more aware of what I say, if he would of actually found out I'm a girl, I would of been screwed.
.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.
"Karin-chan-I mean. Ran-kun. Please go receive the orders from our customers in table four."
Rin was having fun while I did all this cross dressing to hide my identity just in case those three idiots stopped by. Plus, the profit from the customers both male and female were in love with my look. Guys loved me for my absolute cuteness and feminine appearance. As for the girls, they thought I was super good-looking and so cute as well. Overall, Rin couldn't be anymore in agreement to keep me dressed up looking like a boy.
I sighed, these are the days where I just wants to punch Rin for making me do all the dirty work. "I am your waiter, Ran, may I get your orders, ladies?"
Yes, my job was being waiter. Since everyday this diner is packed of course I would be receiving good pay. Really good. I took the ladies menu's and wrote down their order on the check. I went back to the kitchen and waited for further orders. I looked at myself, how simple the male uniform was. A long sleeved silk shirt, around the collar was my tie, checkered in black and white, my vest was buttoned. It was black and as soft as the shirt, it had no sleeves, thank goodness. Long pair of black pants with matching shoes. As for the rest, a white apron that was tied around my waist. I looked like those fancy waiters. What a pain.
I watched on the opposite site of the diner, there was a corner for smokers and drinkers. Filthy monkeys.
"Order for table four, ready!"
I grabbed the large tray with one hand that held the food, on the other tray was the refreshments that were carefully balanced on the plastic tray with my other hand. As I placed them down on the ladies table they thanked me and gave me a large amount of tip. Woo! I bowed to them a grabbed my white rag and stood near the entrance. More customers.
"Hanazono-san!"
I twitched. I controlled my emotions and didn't throw a tantrum. Micchi. Micchi was here with him. Blondie. Yes, Blondie. I gave them their menu and led them to an empty table where they took their seats. I gave my brunette friend a death glare, piercing with all the rage that fills my throbbing heart. My hand brushed away his hair from his ear, in which I yanked while also whispering to him, "What are you doing here? How did you even find out? WHY DID YOU BRING HIM?!" The last part I screamed to his ear, some people looked at us.
"First question; I was bored and hungry. Second question; I found this card near your desk that said 'work day.' Third question; I met him while I was walking here and invited him. So, here we are!"
"I'm gonna kill you, when you go to sleep I'm going to stab you dead."
"Scary. . ."
"Oi, idiot. Take my order dammit."
Blondie so wants a black eye. I would gladly do it for him. "S-sorry. May I take your order?" My eyebrow twitched to the sentence, why isn't anybody else taking the order? Why do I have to do it?
"Yeah, make sure it's quick. I want the combo meal with no octopus."
"Me too, Hanazono-san! Except with the octopus, no veggies please."
"Coming right up. . ." I swiped away their menu's, I was the only waiter who was acting rude and I could tell Rin was not pleased. But the day I act nice to Blondie is the day I go my way to actually fall in love with him. Like that will ever happen. That was such a good joke. I gave the order to our chef and waited in a seat until it was done. I looked around and saw three tables waiting for someone to take their order. The employees rushed to the others, I guess I should--
"Ka--Ran-kun. I'll take care of it. I wouldn't be much of a boss if I just sit around and do nothing now would I?"
Oh, I love you Rin. She gladly took the orders of the people. Boy, was she quick. "Ran-kun, take those orders to the fellows and go on break for a while."
I nodded. The chef has seem to finish both orders of Micchi's and Blondie. See what I mean, no matter how packed the place gets, we are quick and on track! I took their orders and hastily went to the employees room. Quiet. How peaceful. I love it. I opened up my book bag and took out our only homework we got; math.
A few minutes went by and I was rubbing my temples like crazy.
"I don't get it!"
"Idiot. You are a lousy waiter. I said no octopus."
Ugh, Blondie. Is that all he wanted to say? I shook my head and went back into deep concentration of my homework. GOD! WHO CARES ABOUT ALGEBRA! It's so damn confusing!
"I finish that a long time ago. Need help?"
"Please." Indeed, I was that desperate.
All of them were algebra problems, the teacher told us if we get the first question of the sheet then we will definitely understand the rest. Right now, nada.
"So far, this problem says: 'Which of the following expressions represents the product of 3 less than twice x and 2 more than the quantity 3 times x?' You have four choices."
Blondie was explaining me step by step what to do, oddly, I was beginning to understand it. It was amazing, he so smart yet so mean, what a perfect combo. "Overall, you would get the answer of?"
"D; 6x 2 - 5x - 6. Right?" I answered.
"Yeah. Let's go unto the next one, shall we?"
I nodded, this was way harder. Like university level, the teacher even told us that it was in that rank, he was just testing us. I looked at the question, 'For i √-1, if 3i (2 5i) x 6i, then x ?' God, it seem to confusing just looking it. How the hell is he going to solve this, I want to see.
Moments later. . .
I understand it. As complexed as it was, I understood it. It's amazing. "The answer?" He asked me.
"A; -15."
"Good. Do the rest, I'm going back to eat."
"Thank you!"
He never replied and left. This was so easy! In just fourteen minutes, my break was over, I was done, and now back to work! Micchi and Blondie should of left by now, now I'm pumped.
Or depressed more than ever. . .
THEIR TABLE WAS FILLED WITH FOOD! HOW ARE THEY GOING TO AFFORD IT ALL! Oh, I see, the girls that came in. Blondie directed his sky blue orbs at me, "So, does the idiot get it?"
"Yes, thanks. You don't know how grateful I am. That besides the point, just a question. Are you guys able to finish it all? Since, yeah, there's more food than the table can fit. . ."
They just nodded to me, idiots.
Well, it's time. The nightclub of the diner. At exactly 7:55, that's when most guys and slutty girls come in. The lights become darker and it just like a dance club. It was usually on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. That's why Rin usually sends me off early those days or tells me not come on those days at all. But I don't mind. Rin just gets paranoid. All the customers knew the drill and left, since Micchi and Kazune must of came here for the first time, even though they lived here for who-knows-how-long, they might not know the drill. Before I was able to tell them, I was being pushed and shoved by large men and skinny women. I'm not not right age to be serving drinks so all I do is walk around and give them their food. Most likely they came here for kicks and drinks.
"Hey, do you think he is gonna be OK?"
"Hanazono-san? I do know this, as soon as I found out about the nightclub, I got worried and I really hoped you would come and help me if things got messy. He may be a guy but he is as fragile as a girl."
"And stupid like one too." (A/N: Resenting that, for I am a girl! Girls are so not stupid, some but not all xD)
What annoying loud music Rin has to put. I sighed and came over to another group of ladies at their table, "I'm Ran, I'm going to be your waiter, may I take your order?"
"Like, yeah! We've been waiting for like, ugh! Three minutes!"
I hate these type of girls, so annoying, "I am deeply sorry. Is there anything you would like?"
"Um, like, can I get a veggie burger, not too much salt, wipe the grease, and my friend here would like some pasta."
"Coming right up." I handed the paper to the chef and sighed, that anorexic girl can wipe off her own grease. I am so glad I have a little meat on my bones, I don't want to end up like those walking stick people. What a gruesome sight! I would never want to see my ribs popping out- so nasty. "Order!" I took the order without refreshments. Knowing those ladies, they might get a good cup of wine or beer or whatever.
"Yo, I want someone to take my order. Right. Now."
Men; so damn demanding. I rushed over to the table and there was three at the table which had drunk guys who smiled at me. Their look, their smell, they looked like people who just crawled out of their rock and put whatever shirt they can find on the streets. "May I--" One of the very large man grabbed my arm and forced me down to sit. He. Smelled. Like. Rotten. Dead. Fish.
"Ain't he cute guys?"
"I think your drunk man, you are going f-ing homo."
"Nah, look at the lad. He is so a girl, actually, let me check."
The over weighted man ripped out the buttons out of their socket's, including my under shirt where my bandages were revealed. Before he pinned me down the the long row of chairs, someone grab my arm in which I fell on my bottom, yet again. I didn't notice the pain, I was reaching the point where I was going to cry. But looking at the two; Blondie and Micchi, I was just glad they were here.
Micchi had my book bag over his shoulder and he already explained to Rin that I must leave. Blondie piggy-backed me, so warm. So comfy. So can't believe I'm not resisting.
"Hanazono-san, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Pick me up? We live tog-et-her. . .Don't tell me. . .I'M STAYING WITH BLONDIE! When I looked back at my oddly colored eyed friend, he just smiled deviously. Whatever, I'm in no mood. What's more is that I still haven't buttoned up my shirt since I could barely move. I was too happy to move. Maybe I'm becoming crazy already?
"Oi, idiot. Haven't you ever heard of defending yourself?"
"I'm. . .Sorry. Getting you to carry me like this might be embarrassing. I'm a burden, aren't I?"
"How many times are you going to talk like a girl, geez. So annoying. By the way, what happened?"
"What happened what?"
"Bandages stupid, bandages."
'Oh, I'm just wearing this so I can look flat and hide the fact I'm a girl from someone like you!' Yeah, right, I could never say that. Like before, I don't like to lie. And I don't want him to keep worrying, if not worrying, than bugging. Might as well lie, "Before I moved here, I got into an accident."
"Your not fooling me, you are such a horrible liar."
". . ."
"Thought so."
"It's just a private thing. Please, don't worry."
"Girl talk again."
"SHUT IT!"
"Better."
He was getting me mad, I wish I could jump off his back and just go home. I realized there were two big mansions, one connected to each other. A large gate was standing in our way but it opened automatically. Is this, where he lives. . .? From one corner, I could see there was a back mansion connected to the other two. Damn. I'm envious. There was a long, concrete path, slightly altered by the rocks glued into the road. It took time, but when I entered, I was so amazed. So white. So big. No, more huge than his cousin house. Blondie dropped me on the floor, rude.
A maid bowed to him and took me away.
"Here is your room tonight, sir. Call us whenever, we are happy to be of service in anyway."
I wanted to thank her but she just ran at the moment. So much for being served. My malachite eyes looked at the room, I had a king size feather bed, with fluffy pillows and alike fluffy blanket. There were curtains that surrounded the top part of the bed, it was a cotton curtain with little crystals clinging to the interior. Beside each side were big cabinets with flowers in a vase at each side. The floor was smooth and clean made from white tiles. The walls were painted a light creame color. Beside the room on right was my own bathroom. Cool! On the other side was the window with light creame colored shades that was closed by half way of the window.
When I entered the bathroom, it was just as big as a normal sized room. It's design was more like a under water kinda thing. To the curtains having underwater creatures like fishes to the toilet room covers having dolphins playing underwater. I took of the bandages. Entering the large, luxurious bathtub. Taking more like bubble bath.
Been a while, I haven't had a good bubble bath since-what? Since maybe when I was around four? I took the bottle of shampoo, dapping a large amount in my hair. I don't care if it was for girls-it smelled so good! I looked at the bottle, Rosemary and Lemongrass with a tint of milk. Never saw these before. My elbow pressed on something squared, when I noticed, the bubbles began to making a rumbling sound. Oh snap, it's those massaging types. Go figure.
I took out any remaining shampoo in my hair and scrubbed my body with this oddly smelled soap. Green tea soap? Weird but nice smelling. Okay, nice bath over. Time to get out. I pressed the button and grabbed the towel that was stacked on the rack. Guess what? Fishy prints. Who would of guessed?
First I wiped the top part of my body and wrapped the bandages around my body. Again, flatness. Now that I remember, it's sometimes safe to put girl stuff because when I transform into a god, my hair is naturally long. When I'm out of transformation; hair: short.
I wrapped the towel around my waist. My wet hair was wetting my back. Annoying.
I looked in the cabinets, there was only girl pj's! Maybe some maids that work here also live here. Now I feel bad. I put on a long pair of pants, it had a plaid design with green and pink. It was so long that it dragged on my feet. The blue towel was placed on my back, I'll put my shirt later- I won't want to get it wet.
I just realized, I never turned on the light.
"Are they for real? That stupid midget is sleeping here?"
The door slammed open: Jin. What is he doing here?
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I should ask you the same thing."
"I was forced."
"I live here. These three mansions are connected, one is this brat, the other is mine. The one in the back is Michiru. All our parents were best friends, that's why there are halls that connect em'. I just heard from one of the maid that the brat invited someone. How unlucky, to think it was just better off all of us took care of ourselves, now we have someone here."
(A/N: Yes, I'm making it this way. My fic, humph! Jin, Kazune, and Micchi parents are all best friends. They just won't appear in this fic. And all of them are overseas. Only Micchi mother is dead here:P)
I laughed, "I'm glad. I thought you guys acted tough because you guys didn't have parents living. No offense. I'm just glad you do, and Blondie and Micchi. Makes me feel relieved. You guys are lucky, both my parents are dead so I'm living by myself. Micchi suddenly wanted to live with me."
"So that's why he left so suddenly. . ." He said quietly to himself, placing his index finger on his chin, "I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean to bring parents up."
Shocking, "It's alright." I started sniffling, it been a while since I last thought of my parents. Confirming their death. It was so painful.
Jin rubbed his shoulder, soon he placed his arm around my shoulder, "Geez. No matter how I look at it you, you look like a girl. Maybe it's just me. Cry. Just cry. It will do you some good. It's very bad to bottle feelings in."
I did. I cried. No matter what, Jin didn't laugh at me like I thought he would-he didn't mock me-he stayed with me. Not moving an inch. I started to breathe in deeply and exhaled through my nose. I'm OK. I'm okay now. I smiled back at Jin, what's wrong with him now? Their was a hint of lust in his eyes. Scary. . . He placed his finger under my chin, forcing it to lift up. Was he doing what I think he was doing. . .?
"And you said I was becoming a freak. Nice move Jin. Get back to your room. This idiot needs his sleep, that's the only way it be quiet around here."
"Yeah. I don't know, my body was acting on it's own. I am not gay."
"Sure. Go back."
"Whatever."
Jin left, why was my heart thumping so fast? Besides almost getting kissed, why, why did Jin act this way. . .? Maybe he's tired. I didn't have the courage to face Blondie, more like, today was enough. I want rest. My hair was slightly damped but I don't care! I brought the sheets to my face and heard the door closed and the lights turned off, "Night, nitwit."
That reminds me. . .I still didn't put on a shirt. . .During that whole time. . .HOW EMBARRASSING!

Errors? Sorry, again.
Anyway, I wanted a little JxK moment to spice things up :DD
Next chapter is the result of not waiting for letting oneself hair not to dry or putting on a shirt includingly for that matter.
