Accused, Advice and Kitchen Disasters
Okay, so today was the second day of the school fair preparations. I can't say I'm not excited, but the thought of somewhat running into Sasha all of a sudden was not that pleasant. She did bolt out of the room yesterday and I think I'm officially at the top of her hate list, if she ever has one.
I was walking to school when I met up with Tai, T.K and Cassie. Classes got cut again today because of all the preparations going on, and it minimized our school work at least. We walked into the Home Ec. Room and saw some of our group mates there. I don't really want to go into any of the details of what I did during the half of the day, class hours to be precise, so I'll skip to this.
"Okay guys, everything going well?" asked Tai with a smile.
Most of the students nodded and just smiled back at him. "Good, means were all on the right track." Said Tai.
I looked around the room and sighed. "Guess there's still no Sasha."
"You're looking for her?" Asked Tai surprised.
"You want her here?" asked Cassie with the same tone.
"No, well I can't say I do, but I'm getting worried you know." I replied.
"About what? She's the one that suddenly decided to walk out on everyone. It's not your fault you know." Said Tai.
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but I am worried, seriously." I told him.
"I don't know how you can be. She's probably venting her anger out on something." Said Cassie.
T.K gave me a reassuring smile and spoke "I'm sure she's fine. She usually skips school when she's pissed anyway, it's nothing new."
"Well, you guys make it sound like her not being here is, well…normal." I told them.
"That's because no one usually goes looking for her." Said Cassie.
"I can see that…" I muttered, sure looked like no one cared even if Sasha got expelled.
"Well, enough moping around Sor, time to get to work." Said Tai as he pulled me to one of the tables to set up our stuff.
We did get to work right away, not wasting any more time on idle chatter. As we were setting up though a teacher suddenly walked in on us and called us out. By us, I meant me, T.K, Cassie and Tai.
We were lead to the office and the principle looked at us disappointed. I couldn't take the whole awkward silence thing and asked. "Is something wrong?"
"Yes, well I'd like to start this in saying that I am very disappointed in all of you." She didn't have to tell us that, we could already see it.
"Why though?" Asked Tai
"What did we do ma'am?" added Cassie.
"You don't know you're offenses?" asked Mrs. Finnegan, the principle, bewildered.
"We don't even know what we're doing here." Replied Tai.
"Well this is quite a start." She started "Well you see, I was told that you all caused quite a commotion in class yesterday."
"How come? None of us had any classes together." Said Cassie "Well, not all at the same time anyway."
"Oh no, not that. It was during the preparation periods that were given to you." She corrected.
"The prep time?" asked Tai. "I don't get it, what commotion did we set there?"
"I heard you had a fight with one of the students." We were all shocked at this. None of us fought with anyone.
I thought about it for a minute and asked "Who told you about this ma'am? The fight I mean."
"Someone in our group perhaps?" asked T.K. He seemed to be catching on.
"Yes, that's right." She nodded in reply.
"Was it Sasha?" I asked, and I was quite confident I was right. I knew where this conversation was going now.
"Precisely." With that, Tai sighed.
"Oh come on. With all due respect ma'am, you don't seriously buy it do you?" he asked. "I can't get in trouble for this."
"Neither can I." said Cassie. Knowing her, I would guess she's never been called in the office because of a fight.
"Wait a minute." T.K interrupted and faced the principal. "Could we know what she told you ma'am? About what happened yesterday, what did she say exactly?"
"Well…" she started to tell us what had happened and I had no idea it was that much of a fake.
Flashback….
Normal P. O. V.
Sasha went into the principal's office, she was furious and angry. She just got out of the current 'meeting' that she was in for the school fair.
"If that girl thinks she can just take away my spot in this school, well, she'll have to go through a whole lot. I don't give up just like that." Muttered Sasha angrily.
She walked, no, stormed into the principals office. "Ma'am!" she called.
"Yes Sasha? What brings you to my office today?" asked the principal. She wasn't so shocked to find Sasha there.
"I have…" before Sasha could finish, she was cut off.
"A complaint?" she was asked in a knowing tone. Just like what was said, this wasn't the first time.
"Y-yes." Sasha toyed wih her voice to make it sound like she was in pain. "It was…Tai, and that new girl Sora."
"Sora and Tai?!?" Mrs. Finnegan was shocked to say the least. "They're two of my best students."
"W-well, it's just not far the way they do things." Said Sasha.
"What have they ever done to you Sasha?" asked Mrs. Finnegan
"I…Tai yelled at me and they caused the whole group to gang up on me. Even Cassie and T.K were into it." Sasha explained.
"Cassie and T.K? Now Sasha, I don't like false accusations. Tai might not be that much of an academic here in my school, but he is well behaved." Defended Mrs. Finnegan
"But he must have been influenced. Sora is just new here and she just thinks she can take charge of everything." Said Sasha, her voice was getting pissed again. "She's been such a pain in the school."
"A pain in the school? But I don't see anyone else here coming to me filing a complain for her. In fact, if I know correctly, she's been getting along quite well with the students here." Said Mrs. Finnegan
"Please? I'm telling you that it's true, she has to be charged for something." Claimed Sasha, she seriously wasn't going to just let this go.
"Sasha, I cant charge any of them anything if they honestly didn't do anything wrong." Said Mrs. With a sigh.
"But…can you at least talk to them?" she pleaded. "Maybe they;d be lying to you without you knowing."
Mrs. Finnegan Sighed "Alright Sasha, fine. I'll do as you wish. I'll talk to them, but I will not be the one to guarantee you anything, is that clear?" she told Sasha seriously.
"Of course. Thank you." Said Sasha, then she stood up and walked out of the room….
Sash was mad, she knew she couldn't find the, guilty of anything. "I hate her! I hate all of them!" she screeched, as she was walking, and even knew that there was nothing she could do about it now…
End Of Flashback…
"And that's the story. She came here quite furious and she was begging too." Said Mrs. Finnegan.
"You don't seriously think we did something like that do you ma'am?" asked Cassie.
"No Cassie, I know you wouldn't. You and T.K have never even been sent here to my office. Plus the fact that the only reason Tai's even been here is for sleeping in class." She told them.
"Yeah and all that got me is detention." Said Tai. "If you knew we didn't do it, then why'd you call us here?"
"I wanted to hear your side of the story of what really happened. I knew she want telling the truth, but I also knew that something did happen." Said Mrs. Finnegan "I hope you don't mind, and I did promise her I would talk to you."
"So, you knew she was bluffing? Why'd you say you were disappointed in us?" asked T.K confused.
"I wanted to se if you knew about her telling me. Your reactions proved otherwise." She then asked "You don't get along with her don't you?"
"Ahh….no." replied Tai "Not once do we get along with her ma'am."
"Only a few people in this school do." Said Cassie. "And now she wants Sora out of it."
"Speaking of you Sora, why is she so mad at you?" asked Mrs. Finnegan.
"Well…I honestly don't know why. I don't think I did anything wrong." I told her honestly. I mean, Sasha was the one who suddenly declared war on me.
"It's kind of…well she's jealous of Sor to say the least." Said Tai.
"And why is that?" asked Mrs. Finnegan looking at Tai.
"Well, you know about Yamato and the rest of the members of his band right?" asked Tai and she just nodded.
"My brother rarely pays any attention to his fan girls. Particularly to girls at all." Said T.K.
"She's mad at So cause Yamato and the others enjoy hanging out with her." Said Tai "Not that that's actually Sor's fault that she's fun to be around with is it?"
"No I don't think it's your fault at all Sora." Agreed Mrs. Finnegan. "Is Sasha troubling you?"
"Well, she hasn't really been in good terms with me, but I've gotten used to it by now." I told her.
"I see, well I guess that settles things here for all of you." She told us with a smile. "I do hope you don't mid me calling you here."
"No problem, it's just good to know that we aren't in some kind of trouble. That was not the way things happened." Said Tai.
"It went quite the opposite of her story actually." Said Cassie with a sigh.
"She just wants us to get into trouble." Said Tai "Man what a drag."
"Well, that's all I needed to know for today, thank you for your time. You can go back to working on the fair." Said Mrs. Finnegan with a smile.
"Thanks again ma'am." We all bid our goodbyes and walked out of the principals office and back into the Home Ec room.
Meanwhile with Yamato and the band…
Yamato's P.O.V.
I was practicing our songs with the band an I decided to call for a few minutes of break time. I wanted to rest for a while since we were running almost every song we had with no breaks.
"Alright guys, lets take a break for now." I called out.
"Finally, and I thought you were going to work us to death now." Joked Takashi.
"Funny, last time I checked none of you were complaining about an all out practice time." I told him with a smirk. "So that doesn't make it my fault does it?"
"He kind of has a point there Takashi." Said Yutaka with a laugh "You never said anything to begin with."
"Yeah yeah, but it was reasonable to keep practicing anyway." Said Takashi with a laugh.
"Can we head out for while Yamato? When do we need to be back here?" asked Yutaka.
"We'll meet back here after maybe fifteen to twenty minutes, you guys can roam all you want till then." I told them.
"Sure thing man, we'll be back soon okay." Said Takashi as they walked out the door.
I sighed as I was left alone inside the music room. I went near my guitar case and took out sheets of paper. They were music sheets. I've been writing a new song lately, one I haven't told the guys about yet.
I started humming a few lyrics and started strumming a few notes too. I guess I was so busy I didn't notice anyone come inside, because a few seconds later I heard a voice. "Nice song, too bad it's not finished yet."
I turned around to see Akira there standing with a smile on his face. "What are you doing here Akira? I thought you went with Yutaka and Takashi?" I asked him.
"Nope, I went to the bathroom Yamato. I never asked you if I could go anywhere remember?" he told me.
"Oh yeah…" I replied. Then I asked "How'd you know I was working on a new song?"
"Oh that. I saw the sheets once, you left in on the table here. I went back to get something I left here when I stumbled upon that." Said Akira. "It's seriously a nice song. Why's you stop?"
"Just like what you said, it's not even done yet. I'm kind of lost from here." I admitted. "Besides, I never thought you'd come back in here."
"Do you want me to go?" he asked.
"Nah, I can work with you here." I told him "Even I'm not that bad I wont make you leave so don't sweat it."
"So, you mind telling me who that song is for?" he asked me. His voice was filled with amusement.
"What makes you think I wrote it for someone?" I asked him.
He laughed the question off and spoke "Come on Yamato, even I'm not that dense. I've seen and read that music sheet of yours. It's kind of obvious."
"Is it really?" I asked then I glanced back at the music sheet I was working on.
"Yes, it had to be for someone. It meant something special Yamato, even you can see that. Besides, you rarely just write songs out of the blue." He pointed out, which was true by the way.
"We could use the song for the fair." I suggested.
"Right, like we don't have enough song to use for the fair already. You said it yourself remember? The songs we have now would be enough to use for an all out concert." Said Akira. "Man he was good at this!"
"So? Which is it Yamato?" asked Akira with a smile. "Or do you want me to make a wild guess?"
"Okay, enlighten me Akira, what wild guess do you have in mind?" I asked, but I already knew he'd get it right anyway.
"It's for Sora isn't it?" he told me in a matter-of-factly voice.
"Well, it kind of depends on how you look at it…but yeah…I guess it's for her." I gave in with a sigh.
"You guess?" asked Akira "Sounds like you aren't sure. Something holding you back?"
"Kind of, I told you already right? What if she doesn't…" I could finish what I was saying because he cut me off.
"Yamato, stop being so negative. Every girl in this school likes you, and would probably give a lot to be her, even for many other reasons." He told me.
"I know, why do you think I'm having such a hard time here?" I asked "She isn't like every other girl here Akira, she's different."
"And yet, that's also why you're so attracted to her right?" he asked "You can at least give it a try."
"I know that, but how do I finish this before the fair then?" I asked him.
Akira looked at me shocked and asked "You want to learn a new song before the fair?"
"I know, it's a hassle and everything, but I was planning to play this on closing night you know?" I told him.
"Hm…a song like that in closing night wont be so bad. It's just that, we have to practice it pronto." He told me.
"That's just it, how do we practice something that's unfinished?" I told him.
"That is kind of problem…when do you think you can finish it?" he asked me.
"I'm not sure about that you know. This song just came to me." I admitted "I even forgot when I started this thing now."
"Well, if you can't finish it by the time of the fair, then maybe you can just play it for her when you feel like it." Suggested Akira.
"What? Like when it's
just the two of us or something like that?" I asked.
"Yeah,
that way you won't have shrieking fan girls to deal with and you
two would be alone. Unless you suddenly decide to drag someone with
you." Said Akira "I advise you do it alone and not drag someone
with you."
"But I need you guys there when I play this thing." I told him. The song would sound way better with a full band.
"I guess that's true, then you can just call us when you're finished and then we can practice it. How does that sound?" he asked me.
"That's a good idea actually." I agreed.
"And that way, you don't have to end up rushing the whole song and write it when something good comes to you. It'd be more sincere that way." He told me with a smile.
"When did you become
such a good advice giver?" I joked.
"Just whenever I feel like
it Yamato, take this seriously because it doesn't happen everyday."
He told me with a smile.
"Thanks Akira, but you seriously think this is going to work?" I asked him.
"Why wouldn't it? You are giving this a shot. Besides, it's be normal for you to be nervous because this time it's different now." Said Akira.
"Different how?" I asked confused.
"You're finally the one chasing a girl and not a girl chasing you." He replied with a smile.
"That's true." I agreed, at least now I can avoid fan girls twice as much. "But would you guys not mind playing this song and studying it any time soon?" I asked.
"Well it is new and everything, but no I don't mind." He replied.
"And the others?" I asked.
"I don't think Yutaka and Takashi would mind either." Said Akira "It is just one song, it's not like you're asking us to memorize at least ten songs in one day Yamato."
"Memorize ten songs in one day?!?" we heard Takashi's voice boom into the music room. "You can't be serious."
"Dude he said, it's not like he's making us memorize ten songs in one day." We then heard Yutaka come inside.
"Oh hey guys, you're back." I told them.
"Yeah, we decided to check out what the other groups were doing." Said Yutaka "What about you Yamato? Did you just stay here?" he asked.
I nodded in reply. "Yeah, I didn't really feel like going anywhere."
"Was Akira here the whole time too?" asked Takashi.
"Yes I was." Replied Akira.
"Okay, so what's this about the whole ten songs thing?" asked Yutaka confused.
"Well, Yamato here just wrote a new song." Said Akira "And he was wondering if you guys would mind studying it and playing it."
"Another one? What for?" asked Takashi "don't we have about enough songs for the fair?"
"Oh this isn't for the fair." I told him.
"It's not?" asked Yutaka.
"No, it's kind of personal and everything." I replied.
"A personal song about what? You?" asked Takashi "Or is it about someone else." He was smirking now.
"Why don't you make a wild guess?" I suggested.
"I'd pretty much say it was for someone else, you never write anything about you personally." Said Yutaka.
"True." We all spoke in unison. They all knew I tend to keep my personal life a secret to myself and my friends.
"So, who's it for?" asked Yutaka "A girl? Sora probably?"
"Is it that easy to guess?" I asked with a sigh.
"It's kind of obvious." They both replied.
Akira laughed at this and gave me an 'I told you so' look. I looked at him and sighed "Okay I get it already."
"So you did write it for her." Said Takashi "Way to go man."
"No, I don't even know what I'm going to do." I told him. "Akira did give me some good advice though."
"Really, what'd he tell you to do?" asked Yutaka with a curious voice.
"I'm right here Yutaka." Reminded Akira.
"Course you are…" replied Yutaka with a laugh. "So what did you tell Yamato?"
"I told him to play it to her once their alone or something like that." Repeated Akira "He was planning to play it in the fair at first."
"The fair? Yamato give us a break, how many songs do we have now and you still want to add one more?" joked Takashi.
"That's why I'm taking Akira's suggestion." I told him.
"About time too." Said Yutaka as he looked at me.
"About time for what?" I asked confused.
"A confession no duh." He told me with a sigh.
"C-confession? What are you talking about?" I asked him shocked "Why would I…"
"Don't you think it'd be the perfect time for something like that?" asked Yutaka "I mean you'd both be alone and then you'll be playing her a song…"
"Then you can
confess." Finished Takashi with a shrug "It's simple math my
friend. That way, there's no way she'd say no to you."
"Funny,
I doubt Sora's the type of person who'd get pulled in just
because of that." I said.
"She's still a girl you know. They still have things in common. I doubt she's heartless not to feel anything Yamato." Said Yutaka.
"Yeah, she's not that bad is she?" agreed Takashi.
"Besides, if you need more advice you can always ask Tai for it." Said Akira.
"Tai?" asked Takashi "Why Tai?"
"Where better to get info like that than from Sora's best friend himself." Said Yutaka.
"True, no doubt Tai would be happy to help you too." Said Takashi.
And that's about when we started practice again. I would have to think about what the guys said, it was true, I had to think of something if I wanted to make this work for me. Well I guess we better get back to practice and hopefully se how this all plays out for me in the future…
Sora's P.O.V.
Okay, so about the Home Ec room….it's a mess. That might not even be enough to describe it because it is a complete and utter disaster. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind cleaning the place up, and we got most of the dishes that we wanted to make done…but well, not everything went smoothly.
We were making crepes, you know for desert, that and that fact that Tai wanted to eat one. It was our last dish. We set aside the others and they were done and well…safe, to say the least. We were done with the crepes and we only needed the puree. Well after we placed things in the blender, ah Tai forgot to close the lid…and then BAM disaster struck…
"So…what do we do now?" I asked him covered in mango puree.
"I don't know really, clean maybe?" suggested Tai. "But this stuff is good."
"Yes it is, it's puree Tai, mango puree you know the sauce?" I told him.
"Hey I'm sorry I forgot to close the stuff, but it's not that bad is it?" he asked with a smile.
"I'm glad that we're the only ones here though." Said T.K
"Or it could be worse." Agreed Cassie.
Yes we were the only ones left, the others went to fix the design and structure for the booth. "That's true."
"I think it's better if we start cleaning soon. I don't want e stuck here covered in mango goo." Said Tai.
"I second the whole cleaning up part. We dot want anyone to ever see us like this, especially Mrs. Finnegan or we might really get into trouble this time." Said Cassie with a laugh.
"Come on let's get started." Said T.K with a smile. And so we went on with the cleaning.
About thirty minutes later, we've only cleaned about half of the place. It was just too tiring for just the four of us. "How are we ever going to get all this done in time?" moaned Tai, he was tired and so were the lot of us.
"Woah! Looks like cooking isn't your forte isn't it Tai?" we saw Yutaka and the others come in, and they were laughing. Figures.
"Hey guys, nice of you to drop by." I told them.
"Wow Sora, what happened here?" asked Yama as he looked at me with s grin. "You're a mess. I take it you didn't get anything done?"
"We did. The food that we successfully made, well we put them away." Said T.K "We only had trouble with desert actually."
"Really? Cause this place is…well it's like a hurricane hit it." Said Takashi.
"It's so….yellow…" said Yutaka as he looked around.
"Well it's mango….lots of it too." Said Cassie.
"What'd you do with it, take a shower using mango shake?" teased Yutaka. "I see the room wasn't the only thing that took a bath."
"It's puree, that's different." Said Tai "But it's still tastes good nonetheless."
"How long have you been here cleaning?" asked Akira looking at me.
"Thirty minutes, half an hour I don't know exactly." I told him with a shrug.
"And why am I not surprised." Said Takashi as he shook his head. "Did you guys honestly think you could clean all this up on your own?" he asked.
"No, but we had to do something. We couldn't just leave it like this could we?" stated Cassie.
"True, but you guys could have at least asked for help." Said Yutaka. "You would have had it easier that way."
"Well what about the rest of your group where are they?" asked Akira.
"I think some of them already left. Not to mention we didn't want to bother them, we did make the mess." I replied with a smile "And I enjoy cleaning, but it does get tiring if you made a big mess like this."
"Who in their right mind wouldn't get tired of cleaning all this?" asked Takashi.
"Plus the fact that there's only four of you here it's a lot of work for four people alone." Agreed Yama.
"You guys could have also called us for help, we wouldn't have minded to begin with." Said Akira "We'd be happy to help."
"We know, but you had practice." Said T.K
"Plus, we didn't want to bother you." Said Cassie.
"Well, what are you planning to do now? You can't stay here and clean forever you know." Takashi spoke.
"We know that but we have to clean this stuff up somehow." Said Tai. I dot want to get called to the principals office again for the second time in one day."
"Speaking of going to the principals office, why were you called there anyway?" asked Yama "What'd you do?"
"Oh you'd never
guess how far she went this time." Said Tai with a sigh.
"What
happened?" asked Takashi interested.
"We can talk about that later." Said Akira "Right now, why don't we help them clean the place up? That way, they have a hop of finishing all this in time."
"Sounds fair enough, but you guys owe us dinner." Said Takashi with a smirk.
"Oh that's not a problem. Sor made the food samples we were going to sell in the fair, we've made more than enough for everyone." Said Cassie with a smile.
"They're delicious too." Said T.K
"No they're not." I countered "They're something anyone can do."
"Nu uh, come on Sora admit it. They were amazing. Her cooking is awesome." Said Cassie.
"This is the reason I get fat and eat a lot." Said Tai as he looked at me with a smirk in place.
"It isn't really my fault that you like to eat a lot of things Tai." I told him with a smile.
"Well then we can't wait to finish." Said Yama.
"Yup, eating something home made would be great." Said Yutaka "Considering we usually eat out."
"Come on, let's hurry and get cleaning." Said Takashi.
And well that's kind of what happened. We went into cleaning thing and got it over and done with before we knew it. It was faster with everyone helping out and cleaning together.
As promised, we went back to the dorm to eat the food we made in school, the sample dishes for the fair. Tai was right to tell me to make extras out for dinner. At least I wont have to worry about left-overs later. I wonder what would happen soon….guess I'll just have to find out, but for now….time to eat!
