Chapter 3: Welcome Party and?
[Nachi's point of view
"Hey! We need more beers rite heee-re!!!" Oshige-san shouted from our table to the others calling the waiter.
We're here at the welcome party for my new manager, Suzuki Rena-san. Oshige-san have been drinking since we walked into this restaurant. She suggested this place to set up our welcome party. She said it's a good Japanese-style restaurant with quite a good atmosphere, which I agreed.
But for god's sake, she's the best drinker I've ever known.
The party was lively, except for few person that could only sit and watch the fun.
The reason is because…
"Hey, we have beers here too? Great!" Takuto was going to grab the beer bottle before Oshige-san quickly take it.
"Uh uh, alcohols and beers are strictly prohibited to singers, u know, right?"
Now the four of us were just sitting, looking at everyone else drinking happily.
It's just not fun at all when those who aren't drunk try to get along with those who were. We've tried.
"This is boring." Takuto said
"Agree." Modoka supported
"Totally agree." I added
"Hey! Everyone, let's play cards!" Mitsuki came with a set of cards from her bag.
"Aren't u bored, Mitsuki?" Takuto said with annoying sound "Oh, yeah, I forgot. You're not yet 18, and you have never drink."
Mitsuki sit down next to Madoka.
"But Rena-san's so beautiful, don't you think so?" She finally find a new topic (which she think was good enough to improve the silence)
"Yeah" Takuto said
"And she seem to be capable of the manager work. What do you think, Nachi-kun?"
"Yeah, I like the way she dress." I answered, smiling to Mitsuki.
Then we talk together, with Madoka in the middle.
"Can you guys STOP?!! It's annoying!" Madoka finally shouted out.
"What, Madoka-san? Are you really annoyed or just jealous because she's better than you?" I teased her with the smile I'm sure would really piss her off.
"Hey!! Everyone, come here!" Imamura-san called. Then all of us went to the crowd and exchange Rena-san's number.
"Nachi-kun, can you give your number to Madoka-san, please?" Imamura-san added. Well, I already have hers.
Her expression shows that she doesn't really want to put my number into her mobile, but I just grab her mobile and added my number.
The party was over, everybody went home. I don't really get to talk to Rena-san yet. I'm not really interested in getting the new manager, after all. Is it everyone else that's too excited about this, or is it just me that really wasn't interested at all?
[Madoka's Side
Why do I need his mobile number? No way, I'll never ever call him.
She thinks while heading toward home
But Rena-san's quite gorgeous. And she really has a good taste on clothes, like that guy said, it's going along well with her long black, shiny hair.
..I thought I saw her looking at Nachi so often, during the party. But it was just a fast glance.
She walked pass the two convenient stores that were just a few meters from each other. The one with a modern style would turn on their flashy light after 8 o'clock. But the other old convenient store never did.
She was going to walk into the elevator but saw a note in her mailbox. It's from the same fanclub that wrote her a letter with very short message last time. It says:
'Madoka-san, your room is very well kept, sorry if I mess it a bit.' And
'Ps. Hope you don't take it serious.'
What now? What room? You mean, my room upstairs? So how can this person get into my room? Maybe it's just some kind of teen jokes. It says here don't take the jokes seriously.
She went into the elevator, her phone ring.
Oh, I hope it's not HIM.
It isn't. It's from a number she doesn't know.
"Hello?" she answered
"Hi, Madoka-san."
She replied, "Umm, may I ask who is this?" but was interrupted before she could finish the sentence.
"They just fix the elevator at noon today, just after you left. I hope it would work properly." A young voice speaks. He sounded excited.
"What do you mean?" she's getting confused.
"I've told you in the note, sorry if I mess your room" The guys voice sounded chill, but though it even made the girl scared.
How can he know thing about me? How can he know I was in an elevator?
"Y.. you.. you have my keys??" Her voice gets louder and louder, not with anger, but fright.
"No, Madoka-san. Let's just put it this way, somehow I don't think you lock your room properly this morning, at… five minutes just before seven o' clock?
Oh my God! Who is this guy, what did he want?
Is he kidding me? No, no, he won't!
A Stalker? Is he a stalker?
Is he going to be waiting for me outside the elevator?
What should I do? Think, Think!
"Wh..at.. did you want?" She tried to hide the trembling in her voice.
"Oh, Madoka-san. I'm one of your fan club. I just want to make sure you're safe."
"You don't have to be afraid of me, ok?"
I need to get into my room… RIGHT NOW.
"Ok. So… where are you now?" She tried to ask with a normal tone, pretending she wasn't afraid of him.
She has to make sure the guy's not in her room.
"I'm at the next building from your condo." She pause to think. The convenient store!
"Can you see the convenient store on your right?"
"Which one? One with a green light or the old one?"
He was really there. He was not in my room.
The elevator turned open, no one was there. The hallway was empty, without people.
She hold her breathe, end the call, and rush toward her room. While running, she get her key from her bag. With her trembling hands, find it hard to just quickly unlock the door, opened it, and shut it close.
After being sure the door was locked 'properly'. She take her tennis bat, headed to the counter.
If that pervert guy ever came here. I would surely throw these knives into his face.
She hides herself on the floor, folding herself behind the kitchen counter.
Another phone ring. It took away her safety she just felt after she ran into her room. She almost let go of her bat. She slowly looked at the screen.
'Nachi' …That's what it says
She gasp the phone immediately. And she answered it.
"Nachi!!"
The tears she have kept all the way through finally fall down onto her cheeks…
