Like A Boy?
Chapter 2
Before I start this I just wanted to say much love to Yumi Night for my first review, special thanks to you! Like I said in Chapter 1, Uriko does go to Arias about the transformation, but I don't want to tell the entire story, so onward! Oh yeah, I don't own Bloody Roar!
{`~~~~~~~~~~~~`}
"WHAT!" Arias screamed; alarming the students around them in the cafeteria.
"Ssshhhh! Calm down…" Uriko said in a hushed tone and glanced around at the confused and upset faces around them; but compared to Arias, her tone of voice was shocked, loud and booming.
"How can I calm down when your thinking about doing the stupidest thing since Plastic Surgery!"
Uriko ran a hand through her long Auburn hair and stared at Arias with a confused expression.
"I don't know! And I know it's stupid, but it helps. And besides that, you were the one who suggested that I should spy on him!"
"I meant by stupid stuff, like sticking a hidden camera in his house or something! Not dressing up like that Icky-Perverted-Creeper-Andrew!"
"But it came to me…"
"What are you talking about?"
"The plan! Me and Kenji were playing around…" Then Arias lowered her voice and asked Uriko.
"I thought you said you were a Virgin?" Uriko looked at Arias with a expression that said, 'Are you freaking serious? Your really asking me this?'
"Duh! As I was saying, we were WRESTLING and…."
"You improvising the word still keeps the VIRGIN question hovering around us; useless. Cause now I think I can answer my own question, I don't think my BFF is one anymore, especially with the way your talking." Uriko glanced at Arias like, 'Are you for real?' She loved Arias like a sister, but the girl probably couldn't play the game Dirty Minds for half a freaking second without losing 30 million times! Call it hysterical, a stereotype, or impossible for that to even be positive, (about the losing 30 million times in under a second) but it was true! Uriko blamed it; more than Jamie Foxx did with alcohol; on Arias's nefarious, perverted mind. 'And she said Andrew was perverted?'
"Can I finish?" Uriko asked, obviously provoking her anger. Arias smirked and nodded for her to continue.
"Now, off that part…"
"That's what she said." Arias responded quickly while taking a little sip from her bottle of water.
Uriko ignored her and continued, "He bumped into my radio, and I heard that song from that female, Like A Boy."
"Hold up! Your actually letting a song, manipulate your mind, from some freaked out R & B singer, just to find out if Kenji is seeing Angie or someone else?"
Uriko looked down and mumbled, "Well don't put it that way…"
"You need help! You've literally lost your mind! Oh, oh… Uriko! Look! I think I see your mind running wildly around the cafeteria floor screaming, 'Save me!' or is he saying 'I'm free from her idiotic plan? Finally!'"
Uriko looked at her and spoke in a matter of fact, and questionable kind of tone of voice.
"Oh really? Okay, Lady Sarcastic, what would you do?"
"Easy-Peasy! I'll tell the bastard straight up, tell me what the FUCK has gotten into you, give him 3 million and one questions and jump right back to the first one to see if it's the same response, if not, then it's on to the next one!" Arias leaned back with her hands in her lap and gave Uriko a 'I don't give 2 hoot-nannies' look. Uriko shook her head and was just about to take a quick swig of her own water, when she said, "I would hate to see what your husband will be like?"
"Man, I'll probably date a nerd or something."
"Well, come on, Arias! You're my best friend, your suppose to give me MY positive props on what I will do with MY plan?"
Arias looked sort of pissed, but Uriko didn't care, she had to know, and asking or questioning him wasn't going to work again. Not only that, her head was saying that Arias is right, don't do it, but her heart was saying Uriko it wouldn't hurt to try it, give it a week.
"Did you at least ask him?" Arias finally responded.
"Yes! All he said was why would I go back to Angie?"
"Case Closed…" Arias said back, while downing another mouth full of water.
"BUT, I heard one of his conversations, and I know I heard him say something to Angie, sexually and threatening. But when I walked in, he played it off like he was talking to Andrew. Now, unless he's bi or something; which I'm praying he's not," Uriko knocked on the wooden table, and continued talking, "He wouldn't talk like that to Andrew."
"Eww! Umm, did you check the call list?"
"Yeah, but back on the part, when I walked in on him talking 'that way' into his phone, he played the conversation off, before he gave the phone to me he did something, and when I finally got it, I didn't see Angie or Andrew's number. It was like he deleted it or something?"
"Damn! Ugh, Uriko, can't you think of something smarter?"
"Arias, I know the thought is definitely uncalled for, but this is the quickest thing I can think up; since Bounty."
"Wait? I don't get it?"
"Get what?"
"Where did the Bounty come from? Oh, you used it to compare to the word 'quickest', that was kind of lame Uriko…"
"Arias! I'm serious! I really like Kenji… I don't want us to break up by some sex fiend female."
"Wow! Mrs. Gaudi must be rubbing off on you with that Alliteration." Uriko again, ignored her sentence and gave her that sad kitty stare.
"Please! I really need your help!" Arias stared into those big, glassy, Dark-Brown eyes and said, "Ulk, gosh, I can't stand you." Knowing exactly what that means, Uriko smiled and reached over the table and hugged her BFF.
"Oh, Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You!"
"Yeah, yeah! Don't think for one second I'll give in or fall for that anymore!" Arias said, as she pushed her away and tried hard not to smile.
"So, when do we do this?" Uriko said.
"First, I'll have to do some snooping around with our boy Andrew, then I'll let you know."
"How are you going to do that?"
Arias pointed her finger at her and broke down each word like they were a one word sentence. "Don't. Ask. The. Master!" Then Arias pinched Uriko's cheek like elderly people do. "You just keep to your doing, and I'll do the hardest part." When Arias let go, you can literally see the pink spots where Arias's fingers were at on Uriko's face.
"Girl, you need to be more like the Jersey Shore kids, and get a Tan. But don't be as wild as they are." Uriko rubbed her cheek, and that's when the bell rung and the two girls took off heading for their classes.
{`~~~~~~~~~~~~`}
A week later… Uriko was at Kenji's place; studying for the American Government test that was that Friday.
Kenji glanced at Uriko's back; since he was behind her; and faked a stretched out yawn, as he turned around, and kissed her neck, while caressing her hair. Uriko playfully threw down her pencil and giggled.
"You need to get back to work." She replied Boss-Lady-Like, but only being half serious.
"Not with you here." As if he rehearsed it, he pulled Uriko by the waist; as both of them giggled on their way to the floor. He mounted himself on top of her; and tickled her to a laughing, fight like way of 'get off me' frenzy; and he to, giggled at the humiliation.
She pushed away and tackled him, pinning his hands above his head. She spoke to him in a mocking tone, "Just cause you're my boyfriend, doesn't mean you can take advantage of my tickling. Now, your on Uriko's Punishment 10 Second List of No Communication!" Kenji's head jerked up as far as it could go, his eyes went wide and his eye-brows shot up.
"WHAT? Are you serious? Really? A 10 second Silent Treatment?"
"Sssshhhh…. I didn't finish what I was saying." Kenji threw his head back on the floor and shook his head, but he kept his gaze on Uriko. Uriko continued, "If you fail to follow my Punishment and you talk to me, I will reset the timer until your time has expired."
"Oh my gosh, Uriko? This is so stupid! Your acting like Shia LaBeouf from the second Transformers movie."
"I told you to get back to work."
"Well can I do one more thing before I'm 'PUNISHED'?" Even though his hands were forcefully tied together; by her hands; he air quoted the word punished.
"Sure, what could it possibly be?" Uriko responded rolling her eyes. Kenji closed their face-space and kissed Uriko with an sorry intimacy.
Falling exactly into Kenji's hypnotizing trap, Uriko removed her hands from around his wrist, and cupped the sides of his face, while he ran his hands down her lengthy, curvaceous body. Uriko thought back to the time she was in the tub, thinking about Kenji touching her silky body. She remembered the muscles he had that she wanted to touch; desperate; but acting like she wasn't, she ran one hand down his shirt, and it honestly felt like a dream come true. Ripples upon ripples was all she felt, every stroke, every curve, every feeling, never ended. She allowed her hands to trace each physical feature that took years for him to develop. She became so enveloped with the feeling/touching sensation that when he said something, it startled her.
"Like what you feel?" Kenji said.
"Huhn?" Uriko heard herself respond. She looked at him, and saw him smirking; wickedly.
Pushing herself off him and rolling her eyes, she made her way to her work; totally forgetting the punishment statement she told him about earlier. Kenji sat up and rested against the seat of the chair, while he stared at Uriko. Uriko sat in front of the table and did her work for 3 minutes, when she had a feeling somebody was watching her. She turned around to spy back at Kenji; who was smiling at her.
"What are you a stalker or something?"
"Eww, no! I'm just observing."
"Observing what?"
"Well, you of course."
"Why?"
"I think I want to tell you something I've been meaning to tell you; honestly, this time." Uriko threw down her pen, and thought 'this suspension is really getting annoying!'.
"Whattttt?" Uriko said, with irritation spewing out with every t. Kenji laughed and before he spoke, Uriko's cell phone started to ring.
"I got it!" Uriko said, as she made her way to her phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Arias. Where are you?"
"Studying at Kenji's place. Why? What's wrong?" Kenji got off the floor and mouthed a 'who is it?' Uriko shhhed him, and listened to what Arias had to say.
"I'm at your place, smart one! I've been knocking on this fucking door for almost 20 minutes! You know your mom's is never home?"
"Ugh! Why didn't you call me to let me know you were on your way?" Uriko said, as she mouthed to Kenji 'I have to go.' He nodded and helped her pack her things.
"I did text you, and you never responded back! I couldn't call you because I was looking in on low-life Andrew and I didn't want him to hear me!"
"Oh! Well, I am a Human, I do make mistakes." Uriko said, but her mind blurted, 'sort of', all thanks to her feline metamorphosis.
"Big wolf! Now get over here so I can show you all this crap!"
"It's woop."
"What?"
"the phrase is 'big woop' not 'wolf'."
"Shut-up, Uriko!"
"Fine jeez, gosh your so sassy!"
"I know, now get your fair ass over here!"
"Yeah, yeah!" At that Uriko hung up, and realized she had 5 text messages.
"Oh wow!" she said, by then Kenji handed her her bag, as they made their way outside and onto his bike.
Kenji stopped at the Nonomura household, as Uriko got off the bike. She looked at her friend, and then at Kenji.
"I'll call you later when Arias goes home, so wait up for me."
"Alright love." He laid back enough to give Uriko a hug and a TLC (Tender Loving Care) kiss. When they broke away, Uriko went up to her door, while Kenji peddled off.
"You two are so cute that it's sick." Arias said to Uriko as she was unlocking the door.
"Oh calm down, Arias!" Uriko said, as Arias fell weakly on Uriko's shoulder and played the role of a sick person.
"Oh my gosh! I feel sicker than a Bulimic!" Uriko giggled and jerked her friend off her arm as she unlocked the door and they walked inside.
"Your silly!"
Inside, Uriko locked the door back, and Arias took a seat on Living Room couch, kicking off her flat's and pulling out her stuff from her bag.
"Look-ie!" Arias said, holding out her digital camera.
"What is that?"
"A camera."
"I know that, I mean who's in the picture?" Uriko said as she took a seat next to her.
"Andrew."
"What's he…. Wait? Did you spy on him?"
"Eww, no! I was just taking picture's and he happily blocked it with his face!"
"Wait? What?"
"Okay, that last part was sarcasm, but I don't like the word spy. Anyway, these are pictures of Andrew getting ready to leave to go out of town. I snuck around to his window and caught the conceited mother fucker posing, and flexing his anorexic muscles at his wall…"
"No mirror?"
"Not even a mini pocket mirror."
"Ha-ha, wow, that's really lame!"
"Preach on it! I got a few good shots of his features in his too small tidy-whitey's."
"Arias? Those are boxers."
"Uriko, I got two little brothers, I know what boxers look like, and this guy is either wearing tidy-whiteys, Speedo's, or Boxer G-Strings that can't even give his Johnson and Tiny-Hairy-Timmy-Ball number one and two the oxygen to breathe." Uriko smiled while shaking her head, and glanced back at the picture.
"So we have all the evidence to mock Andrew's appearance." Uriko asked still starring at the picture, but talking to Arias. Arias nodded her head as she spoke.
"Pretty much."
"Okay, I think this will work." Uriko spoke back looking at Arias this time.
"You better hope so, or else I'm going to be spending all this money on something that goes straight down the drain."
"You are so stubborn… In a way, just like a Taurus!"
"Thank you for clarifying my birth sign!" Arias said with a big smile. Uriko hugged her friend, and prayed that everything turns out just fine.
{`~~~~~~~~~~~~`}
"I don't think I want to do this anymore!" Uriko yelped as she tried to get away, Arias grabbed her arm and pulled her back to the store.
"Stop being such a baby, you brought this on yourself, I'm just helping you." Arias said.
It was Saturday afternoon, when Arias called Uriko and told her that Andrew had left, that was when she told her to meet her up at the mall.
There the two friends stood in front of a 'Adult' department store.
"Arias, do you really think this is really necessary?"
"Girl, if you want to play off as a guy, you need to have the top number one feature most guys should have."
"But…" Arias didn't even let her finish, she pulled her inside the store and went to the one thing they needed the most.
"Here we go. I think this is the place we need to be?" Arias said.
"Everybody's staring at us!" Uriko whispered to Arias, while looking around at all the faces that were glaring at the two.
"Who cares?" Arias said.
"I do! And we're in the wrong section of the store, people are going to think we're bi or something!"
"Oh girl please! You worry to much, just take a breather and find which one seems to fit right." Uriko took a deep breathe, and started looking, but when she did, she regretted even possessing herself to look ahead and search for what she needed to get.
"OH MY GOSH! NOOOOOOO!" Uriko squealed and took off running, Arias reached out and pulled her back.
"Calm down, your causing a scene!"
"This is insanity! I can't do it!" Uriko took off again, but Arias pulled her back.
"Stop it! Look, you want to know the truth, right?" Uriko nodded her head.
"And you want to put a end to all this wondering about Kenji, right?" Uriko nodded her head again.
"Then quit acting like a Infant, and help me find one, already!"
Uriko sighed and stared at the strap-on Dildo's.
"This is so disturbing!"
"I think this will be fine." Arias said, holding one up by the straps. Uriko's eyes went wide, and she thought for a second that she might hurl right then and there.
"Arias!"
"What?"
"No, this isn't going to do…"
"You know what your right, I remember that little image of him flexing at his wall with his G-String Boxers." Arias threw down the one she had, and picked up another one by the straps.
"This'll do!" She said, Uriko looked at the one's she held. She didn't even know that they made one's smaller than the thing-a-ling in Scary movie 1; remember the one in the picture? Uriko snatched it out of Arias's hand.
"Arias, no!" She said low.
"Your right, we need something smaller. Girl, that little swa-ackle he got still haunts me in my dreams, I think that a centimeter can out do his grain size manhood." Arias said as she bent down and looked for something smaller.
"Can we just get the one you had earlier. I'm feeling claustrophobic just being around here."
"Fine!" Arias grabbed the one she picked up earlier, while they made their way to the counter.
"Hello, how are you two doing today?" Said the short Asian man over the counter.
"Fine." Arias said, while going through her purse for her money.
"You ladies look awfully young to be in here? How old are you?" He said mainly talking to Arias.
"I'm 42." Arias said. Uriko tried to force herself not to looked shocked, and Arias lightly kicked her.
"I'm 39." Uriko said.
"Are you sure?" The Asian man; who's name plate read Akira spoke.
"Yeah, you want proof! I may not look it, but my I.D. says it all." Arias said, as she handed Akira the I.D. He glanced at it, and glanced back at Arias.
"Well… How do you keep yourself looking the way you do?"
"Dye, Gym, and Abstinence."
"Why do you look so pale in this picture?"
"I am Indian, and Indian's can get paler than snow in the Winter, but in the Summer, we do get Dark, like this." Arias did a complete 360, showing off her beautiful Caramel-Brown skin.
"And how come you don't have a single wrinkle?"
"Like I said I am mixed with Indian. We may get Grey hair and whatever young, but it takes forever for our skin to show our ages. So I don't use that Botox and age lift skin crap. Anything else you want to ask?" Uriko just sat back and watched the whole thing, Akira didn't seem interested in what she had to say, he just directed himself at Arias. 'I think Arias may have a boyfriend by the time we leave?'
"Um, I might have to look for more females like you." Akira said ringing up their stuff but keeping his eye's locked on Arias. Handing them their stuff, Arias said.
"Honey, there's no other female like me." She smiled slightly, and took the stuff, Akira leaned over the counter and said.
"Well, maybe I can be the lucky young Asian you can talk to?" He smiled slyly while Arias slipped him the money to pay for the stuff.
"Maybe you can…"
"Your not wearing a wedding ring, so I know your not married. I'm going to give you my number so we can talk sometime." Arias didn't even have to wait, he gave her a tiny slip of paper, while holding her gaze.
"That's a bet!" Arias said as she walked off, with Uriko right behind her.
"Oh my gosh! What just happened in there? And how did you pull off being 42?" Uriko asked when she caught up with Arias.
"Well I wasn't lying about myself, and I don't know how that happened, but I actually like him, too bad I have to be 42. Oh, and it's called my mother's I.D."
"How did you manage to get her I.D.? And there's no way you could have pulled off the look." Arias handed Uriko the I.D. When she saw it, she saw a exact replica of Arias.
"You guys look so much alike!"
"Yeah, I've been told that all my life. I'm just glad that they didn't get every inch of my mother's measurement's or that would've been very hard to get out of."
"I've never seen your mom, so why do you say that?"
"Because my mom maybe mixed with a lot of crap like me, but she got the ass, the hips, the thighs of a Black girl, and the Breast of a White girl. I mean, I got a little something but, it's not as much as her."
"Well, You guy's are ridiculously identical. I mean besides the skin color, you guy's can pass off as sisters."
Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Arias said as she took the I.D. back and unlocked the car.
{`~~~~~~~~~~~~`}
"Owwww, your pulling too hard!"
"Well it's not my fault that your tender-headed."
"I'm not tender-headed!"
"Well, your not hard headed either, now quit squirming." Arias was having a tough type trying to wrap-up Uriko's hair, and Uriko couldn't seem to get comfortable. They've been spending almost their entire Saturday trying to see what Uriko would look like if she became Andrew.
"Finally! Okay, now go put on your penis." Arias said to Uriko, when she finally put the wig on Uriko's head, and handed her the Strap. Uriko's mouth fell, but that quickly went away when she caught a glimpse of Arias's smile. Snatching the Dildo from her friend, she spoke harshly towards her.
"That's not funny!" Uriko gathered the clothes that she and Arias bought, and went into the bathroom, when Uriko's phone rang.
"I got it, just finish getting dressed. Hello?" Arias said.
"Hey, can I speak to Uriko?" Kenji said on the other line.
"Uhhh, Uriko's a little preoccupied at the moment, so can you call back in like 5 minutes or so?"
"Preoccupied? Wait, doing what?"
"What are you her body guard?….." Arias snapped, but she regained her composure just that quick.
"Excuse me?" Kenji said.
"My bad, guy. I'm so engulfed in this movie right now. Didn't Uriko ever tell you that I have a bad habit with talking to inanimate objects? Ha-ha, talk about weird! She's just trying on some clothes I got for her." Arias lied just a bit, but the only thing that made her snap was when guys became so possessive just because they got a girl; which directed towards girls too; and they think they have to know what their doing at that particular time; call it a stereotype statistic, but girls did this too.
"Umm, okay? Well, tell her to call me back whenever she's done with that."
"I got you." Arias said, as she hung up. By that time, Uriko's head appeared around the corner, and asked.
"Who was that?"
"Your Amber-eyed boyfriend."
"What he say?"
"He just said call him after your done with whatever your doing."
"Oh okay. Well, how do I look?"
Arias did a quick double take when she looked at her friend. The bald wig she had on made her look completely different, along with the boyish clothes. A nice fitted white T-shirt; that looked good on guys; with navy blue shorts, and the usual tennis shoes. Like the real Andrew, nothing was name-brand, everything was no name-brand. Uriko and Andrew had almost the same color eyes, and height, so that part didn't need improvement.
"Wow, besides looking like the creep, you look magnificent!"
"Well I don't feel like I do?"
"Why you say that?"
"First off, I feel partially bald, second off, I feel like a Tom-Boy, and third off, I don't know if I put this strap too tight or what, but it's cutting into my skin, and it's making it itch like crazy!"
"…. I don't know how to respond to that, but you look better than the original Andrew! Shit, a thousand percent better!" Uriko made her way to her phone, when Arias said.
"Hey, quick question?"
"What?" Uriko responded half listening, she was going through her Contact list when Arias spoke.
"How's it feel?" Uriko turned to her.
"How's what feel?"
"Wearing that thing? Besides it cutting into your skin and itching?"
"This thing is more uncomfortable then a wedgies thong, that you can't get out because your either in public, or it's too far in there. And it feels weird!" That's when Arias burst out laughing, and Uriko hit the call button on her phone.
"Hello?" Kenji said.
"Hey babe, what's up?"
"Oh hey, I just wanted to call, and check on my baby girl."
"Oh, well I'm doing fine. What are you doing?"
"I'm about to go with Yugo to run a few errands, and maybe watch some movies at home, or something. What about you?"
"Oh, well, just talking to Arias, mom still isn't home, and talking to you."
"I like the us part, but man, what's with your mom not being home?"
"If I were her, I'd answer that question."
"Um, shaking my head. Anyway, you got any plans for the rest of this Saturday night?"
"No. Why? You want to come over?"
"I would love to, but I think I'll just stay here, you know. I wouldn't want to fall asleep while me and you are watching video's, and your mom comes in. That wouldn't be a pretty sight."
"Oh yeah. You want me to come over for a while? You know, just to hang out or something?"
"I would say yes, but me and Yugo are about to go." Uriko frowned up, something told her that something was going on, something he didn't want to tell her. First off, no matter what time, or place, Yugo always made noise when her and Kenji talked on the phone, but now it was absolutely silent.
"Oh, okay then."
"Yeah, I'm sorry love. But, you can come over tomorrow, if you want."
"I guess, that'll work. But I'm going to go, and I'll talk to you later, or text you whenever."
"Okay then. Hey Uriko?"
"Yeah…"
"When you were here last time, there was something I wanted to tell you honestly, and straight from the heart."
"Oh yeah, what was it?"
"… I just hope that your ready for it?"
"I'm ready, just, let me have it." It took Kenji a while to say it, so long that Uriko thought they disconnected.
"Kenji? You still the…"
"I love you." At that moment, Uriko almost dropped her phone, and her mouth fell completely to the floor.
"W-w-what did you say?" Kenji sighed, and spoke kind of low, like he was nervous for the results.
"Look, Uriko. We've known each other for years now, almost our whole lives. Ever since I was a kid, I admired you. You were just so…. Lively…. I know it's a weird thing to say, but you were. You were always smiling, always happy, when you were sad you just brushed the dust off you and made your happiness to the best of it's advantage, even when things seemed terrible. Kids picked on you constantly about being weird, but you didn't care. To me, you were like the Flower in the weeds, the only one that caught my eye, every time. No matter what I'd do, I just couldn't help but stare in your direction, just to watch the things you do, and how you managed to kill any depression that tried to penetrate you.
"Even transforming into what we are now," Uriko looked down at what she was wearing, and she couldn't help her mind to say 'I wonder if this is has anything to do with what he's brining up?'.
"I still see the same old you, I knew back then. That included us being brainwashed, but that doesn't matter. The thing is, I've always loved you. From every strand of your hair, to the material you wear, and that'll never change. Not only do I love you clumsy ways, and your beautiful features, but I love you for you; you won't change yourself because another person can't stand who you are, you won't turn your back on anybody you care about, and you certainly, won't take no for an answer. It was all you, that attracted me to you, my entire life. Your ex boyfriends was the only thing that pulled me away, but I was still deeply in love with you. I just wanted to tell you that."
Uriko couldn't say anything, still. Her hesitation made Kenji a little depressed, he was just about to say something when she finally responded.
"I love you too, Kenji. I'm not just saying it because it's a quick response to what you said. I'll agree, I love you for you, as well, but I wasn't paying that much attention to you when I was younger, I'll admit that. When kids use to say stuff about you, and how quiet you were, that's when I started to really look at you. Remember the day in the park? We were maybe 5, or so. You sat alone at the far corner of the playground, watching the other kids; and me; goofing off?"
"Yeah, I remember that. That was the first day we really got to talk."
"Absolutely. I came up to you, because I wanted you to interact, and I can tell you were nervous when I was talking to you, and I pulled you over to the swing." Uriko and Kenji giggled at the thought, and Uriko started talking again.
"From that day forward, we were the best of friends. Told each other everything, but we were too nervous to ask if we wanted to start dating…. Especially when we and some other kids offered us to play truth or dare."
"Oh man, who can forget that day?"
"Yeah, it just so happen that we got all mixed up in a kissing dare. From then forward, we promised to remain as friends, because not only was kissing gross, but it didn't seem right for friends to kiss. Now look at us! The truth comes out after so many years, and we aren't grossed out about it. I'm glad were finally getting it out in the open, and we don't have to keep it to ourselves anymore."
"I agree…" A voice sounded off from Kenji's line, the voice was low, but Uriko could hear it, the only problem was she couldn't tell who it was.
"Hey, That was Yugo, which means he, yet again, ruined another conversation we're having."
Uriko sighed, "Of course. Well, I guess we'll talk tomorrow."
"We will, I love you, Uriko, don't forget that."
"I love you too, Kenji, and you better not forget it!" They both giggled through each other's line, before saying bye and hanging up.
Uriko smiled as she put the phone down, and caught Arias starring.
"Y'all are just too cute." Uriko smiled, and went to take a seat next to her BFF.
{`~~~~~~~~~~~~`}
A ugly ring-tone started going off around 11 o' clock that Saturday night. Uriko, still wore the Andrew attire, and both the girls woke up due to the annoying sound that blazed through the silent atmosphere.
"What is that?" Uriko complained groggily tired.
"I don't… Wait! I know what that is!" Arias said, as she jumped up and looked around for her purse.
"Well can you turn it off, I'm tired!" Uriko said as she laid back. Arias pulled out the phone, and sat next to Uriko.
"Look!" Arias said to Uriko, the sound was still going off, and when Uriko looked up, she saw a cell-phone that looked remotely similar to a phone she saw before.
"That's not your phone?" Uriko said sitting back up slowly.
"Of course not. It's Andrew's."
"WHAT? How did you get his phone?"
"He left it back at his place before he went out of town."
"How did you get it, if it was in his place?"
"Kids have got to learn how to close their window's." Arias pressed a button, that got rid if the annoying ring-tone.
"Arias, you can't go into people's house's and take things when they leave it behind."
"Actually, this was needed. We have to make it look like Andrew is still in town, so I had to get it. Now check this, I put my useless old cell-phone in those little cell-phone compartments in luggage; to make it look like he took his."
"What if he finds out that his original cell-phone isn't there?"
"I haven't heard his phone go off since he left. Technically, nobody ever really calls, or text him, until now that is." Uriko knew that it was an invasion of privacy, but when she saw who the text was from, she had to know why he was texting.
Kenji: Hey Drew? I don't know if you left or not, but if you didn't call me right now, man.
"What the…" Uriko said as she starred at the phone. Arias, pulled the phone from Uriko's hand, and she dialed Kenji's number.
"What are you doing?"
"Calling Kenji."
"Why?"
"Well, as you can tell from what he said, he and his boys are about to go out, and so are you."
"What? No! I'm not doing that. And besides, Kenji said he was going to stay home and watch movies."
Arias gave her a hard stare and said, "Sweetie, everybody lies about things. Why would a guy stay home on a Saturday night?"
"Do I have to answer that question?"
"It was rhetorical. Quick, use your fake male Andrew voice, and speak." Arias said quickly, and threw the phone in Uriko's hand like it was a game of hot-potato.
"Wait, no, I can't do this…" But before she could even finish, she heard him.
"Hello?" Kenji said. Clearing her throat, she tried her hardest to speak like she was Andrew.
"Uhh, yeah! Yo'! What's up, Kenji?"
"Drew? Is that you? You sound sick?"
"… Oh, uhh, yeah, I got a little cold, but no, my family postponed the vacation, and I'm, you know, chillin' at home."
"Oh, well. Anyway, me and the guy's are going out to the club, you coming?" Uriko, looked startled, but continued.
"Umm? Which club exactly?" Uriko said, forgetting she was Andrew, slightly, and kind of sounded like herself.
"Drew? Do you want me to drop by and get you some medicine, because you sound like a girl?" Uriko, cleared her throat again, and spoke in her failed attempt of a male voice.
"Oh, uhh, no! But which club, man?"
"Man, you should know?"
"….. Ooooo, yeah! That one club! At that spot!" Uriko said with fake silliness, but Kenji knew it right then and there.
"Yeahhhh. Remember?… The Strip Club?"
"STRIP CLUB?" Uriko, practically yelled in her usual tone of voice.
"Duh! Man, you really got to do something about that voice?"
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to do something about it!" Uriko said in a better impersonation of Andrew.
"Now your starting to sound like yourself. But hurry up and get dressed, and I'll meet you there, not unless you want me to come get you?" Kenji said.
"NO! Uhh, I mean, nah man, I'll meet you there…. Uhh, what's the place called again?"
"This one's called Sensational Honey's. It shouldn't be like the other one's we used to go to."
"We went to other Strip Clubs?" She asked shocked, and her Andrew voice died a little more than she expected.
"Is that Sickness giving you short-term memory loss or something?"
"No. Well, not really?" She said sad-like, and still in her tone of voice.
"Okay, Drew. You need to pull your voice together or something, your starting to sound like my girlfriend, and it's kind of creeping me out." Uriko forced a smile, and from Arias's point of view, it was definitely fake and sad.
"Oh my bad, man. I'll be ready and I'll meet you guys up there."
"Alright, man. See you when you get up here."
Uriko hung up the phone, and she felt the little sting; clarifying that she was indeed going to drop a tear.
Finally, chapter 2 is ready. Sorry about putting so much Arias and Uriko in this chapter, but this part is kind of with them. Also, I've never been to a Adult Store, Department store, or whatever so I don't know for sure how it's visible. I think I did a lot better on this cliffhanger, but hey it at least you know what to expect. I've had this Strip Club part stuck in my head for a while now, and I just had to put it down, but I'm not going to tell you what's going on from there, just know Uriko's going to swallow up her nerves and meet up with the guys there, but she's definitely going to be, (clears throat) noticed, ha-ha. I don't know when I'm going to post the next chapter, but leave a review, and hopefully I'll get back with you, and I'll start on number 3. Thanks to the few who has left me a review, very much appreciated!
