SCENE 2
That Friday evening Mikan went to work in a bar where she sings with a band. She works at the coffee shop near her university from 6 am to 10. She's got classes at 10:00. And at night, she starts working at around 7 pm.
At the bar… The band is already playing jazz and love songs. Hotaru and Permy was also there. Mikan is singing on stage and belting out her best. The crowd cheers every after her song. She really is a performer and a sweet girl. Now she was talking with the crowd making her way to get their attention. She was a darling of that club.
New group of people entered the club as usual for hang out and drinks together with their girlfriends and pals. Most of them are men.
Mikan shot a glance on that group standing out in the crowd. She recognized them. They were her classmates. The last person to enter was very familiar to her. It was Natsume. And he stared on her trying to recognize somebody he knew… then he proceeded with his friends on a table on the last row. Quite dark in there. Only few details of faces you can recognize. Flickers of candles on every table and soft lights on stage where Mikan performs. The waiters know their way around even on that dark place. So they move freely and about.
"If you are in love or broken hearted tonight, you can express your emotions through your song. So you can send your request and we will try our best to sing for you. Or much better, you can jam with us." Mikan said. A waiter came towards here holding a small piece of paper and he handed it to her.
"Oh. We have our first requested song in here" Let me see…" Ahh! Norah Jones. Come away with me. Nice song. Alright. We'll try that. Thanks Sumire for sending this" Then another waiter cam to her and handed her a piece of paper. She was shocked when she read those words written on that piece of paper.
It read, "Wanted to Know You more". She read that on mike and pretended not to know such kind of song. The band played the smooth jazzy song of Norah Jones, and Mikan made her voice float. Deep, cool, sultry voice of an angel. So nice to hear.
Natsume on the other hand just watched her intently and enjoyed the rest of her performance.
