Chapter 8: Their Love Will Go On.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon on Friday when Mayu and Naomi managed to calm down the members of the spring formal committee and get the rest of the decorating done. The mess that the explosion in the chemistry room caused was cleaned up. All was left were black scorch marks everywhere.
After prying a crying Ayumi from her locker, which was surprisingly difficult, since she had such a tight grip on it, they dragged her out of the school and back home to get ready for the spring formal.
Ayumi was still upset about the incident that happened. She won't stop crying hysterically. Mayu had to scream at her to shut up before the mascara ran down her face and stained her spring formal dress.
Speaking of spring formal dresses, Mayu looked elegant in hers. She wore a strapless, baby blue dress which went down to the floor. The hem was frilly and the dress really showed her curves. On her feet were sliver-high heel sandals. Her silky brown hair flowed down to her upper back in a wavy style, with a sliver tiara on top of her head . . .
Ayumi was in her dress – the blue, spaghetti-strap, dress. She also wore her blue sapphire earrings she bought at Claire's and a pair of matching blue, high-heels sandals. Her long blue hair was out of their usually pigtails. Instead, it flowed down to her mid-back.
"Come on, Ayumi," Mayu said, zipping up the back of Ayumi's blue dress. "Stop crying. It's not that bad."
Ayumi sniffed. "It's totally bad! Arnold won't stop stalking me, I'm dateless to the spring formal, and my secret admirer blew up after revealing himself! What's not bad!?"
Mayu patted her back to indicate she was done helping her with her dress and to calm her down. "Ayumi, tonight is supposed to be fun. Yoshiki wouldn't want you to be depressed."
"I guess," Ayumi answered, sadly.
Just then, the bedroom door opened and Naomi marched in, wearing a scowl on her. She was dressed in an emerald green, halter-top-style, dress that went down to her ankles. Her brown hair going down to her neck as usual. Around her neck was a green jade necklace.
Naomi growled. "I speak from the heart, a miniskirt is better than this." She lifted her dress slightly to reveal black, high heel sandals. "And I can't even walk in these!"
Mayu smirked. "These are only one-inch heels, considering you won't walk in anything higher."
Naomi crossed her arms. The doorbell rang, followed by the front door opening downstairs.
"Okay, it's time," Mayu announced. Naomi left the bedroom first. Mayu grabbed Ayumi's wrist. "Come on, let's go have some fun."
Ayumi nodded, reluctantly and followed Mayu out of the bedroom and down the stairs, where her father, Morishige, Satoshi, and Naomi were waiting.
Morishige and Satoshi were wearing matching black tuxedos, except Morishige's tie was dark blue and Satoshi was dark green. My father was in his pajamas, waiting to see off his daughter. Naomi was clutching onto Satoshi.
Mayu let go of Ayumi and headed over to Morishige, who put the corsage on Mayu's wrist. Ayumi could see a corsage on Naomi's wrist as well.
Her father spoke in a clear voice. "Boys, remember, have these young girls home by eleven o'clock. No later than that. Do I make myself clear?" Her father acting as if he was their father as well.
Morishige nodded. "Clear as a bell, sir."
Satoshi gave her father thumbs up. "We understand."
Morishige and Satoshi led Mayu and Naomi to Satoshi's green Escalade outside the Shinozaki household. Ayumi sighed and followed them. Mr. Shinozaki smiled and closed the front door.
With Satoshi in the driver's seat, Naomi in the front seat, and Morishige, Mayu, and Ayumi in the back seat, they drove off down the street, towards Kisaragi Academy.
The gymnasium was packed when Ayumi, Mayu, Morishige, Satoshi, and Naomi arrived. The gym was decorated nicely just as the spring formal committee left it that afternoon. Music was blaring from the speakers. Couples here and they were dancing happily.
Satoshi led Naomi to the dance floor and soon, they were the best dancers of the night. Morishige decided to go get a drink from the punchbowl.
"Ayumi, are you sure you don't want a finger sandwich or a drink or something?" Mayu asked, preparing to leave with Morishige.
Ayumi nodded. "I guess . . . thanks."
Mayu smiled sweetly and headed for the punchbowl with Morishige. While she was waiting, she tapped her right foot to the music.
Just then, the gymnasium doors opened. Ayumi turned to look who arrived and wished she would vanish from the sight.
Arnold stood in the doorway, smiling, showing off his braces-covered teeth. He still had his glasses, so he wouldn't knock over anyone of anything in the process of dancing. He wore a beige tuxedo with an orange tie. His shaggy brown hair looked was slicked back with gel.
Mayu came over to Ayumi and gave her a glass of punch, before heading off to the dance floor with Morishige. Ayumi couldn't take a sip of her punch. She was shock at who was with Arnold.
Next to Kisaragi's number-geek was none other than the bratty teenage girl Princess. She wore a yellow, v-neck, short sleeve, knee high, dress with matching yellow, high heel sandals. Her red hair was in a bun at the back of her head. She had no corsage, but just like Ayumi predicted: a textbook.
At least Princess had no chance to go with Yoshiki now.
Ayumi decided it would be best to disappear from the sight of the awkward couple. Careful not to trip over the hem of her dress or spill her glass of punch, she hurried over to a table and sat down on one of the chairs next to it.
Meanwhile, Arnold was discussing an important topic with Princess.
Princess sighed. "Why did I let you talk me into being your date for the spring formal again?" Thanks to you, I can't go with my boyfriend, Hirito!"
Arnold smirked. "Calm down, baby." Princess gagged. "Remember, I'm here to make Ayumi jealous."
Princess smirked as well. "And I'm here to make Yoshiki jealous."
"Exactly," Arnold stated, scanning the gymnasium. Unfortunately, he found Ayumi by the table. "Let's start with Ayumi first."
Princess nodded and let Arnold drag her towards Ayumi, who was sipping her drink. As soon as a shadow appeared on the floor in front of her, Ayumi looked up and sighed, sadly.
"What do you want, Arnold?" she said, "To calculate the area inside my glass?"
Arnold shook his head. "First of all, it's not the area inside of your glass, its volume." Ayumi rolled her eyes. "Secondly, I'm here with Princess."
Ayumi was uninterested. "Hooray for the happy couple," she said, sarcastically.
Arnold growled and pushed away Princess so hard that she fell backwards, hit her head on a chair, and went unconscious. He grabbed onto Ayumi's shoulders as if he wanted to rip them off her body.
"What part of, 'I'm here with Princess,' did you not understand!?" he spat.
Ayumi scowled. "The part when you're trying to make me jealous by going with her to this spring formal." Arnold growled again. "And I thought you were smart. Well, get this into your ugly, annoying metal face, geek . . ." She took a deep breath.
"I HATE YOU!"
Arnold let go of Ayumi and sighed. "Well, fine if I can't have you . . ." He grasped onto her neck choking her. "NO ONE CAN!"
Ayumi tried to breath, but she couldn't. For a nerd, Arnold had a strong grip.
On the bright side, she would be with Yoshiki once she was dead.
Suddenly, a large wooden stick slammed onto Arnold's head. Arnold released Ayumi to rub his head, before slipping unconsciousness.
By then, Ayumi's breathing returned to normal. She looked down on to the floor in front of her. Arnold was on top of Princess, who was both still knocked out.
She saw a pair of legs in front of her. It was probably the person that saved her. She has to thank them.
"Thanks for saving me," she said, looking up to meet the person's eyes. "I'm really grateful . . ." She gasped at the person she saw.
It was Yoshiki. He was in a black tuxedo and blue tie. His bleached hair pushed back with gel with his black hat. Over his left leg was a cast from his feet up to his knee. He was leaning onto the wooden crutches for support.
He couldn't be a ghost or else the crutch he hit Arnold with would have gone right through his hand instead of him grasping onto it. Ayumi's eyes filled with tears.
"Yoshiki!" she cried, embracing him in her arms. "You're alive! But how?"
"I managed to hop out of the window with Morishige and Satoshi, before the explosion occurred," Yoshiki explained. "As the chemistry lab blew up, part of the wall collapsed on my leg. That's why I am in crutches."
"What about the puddle your hat was in?" Ayumi asked. "I thought it was blood."
"Nah, it was Hirito's fruit punch from earlier at lunch," Yoshiki replied. "He forgets he's allergic to that. No wonder he caused the explosion. Fruit punch makes him oblivious. I should have prevented him from bringing it to the competition, or any drink for that matter."
Ayumi looked at the black hat on his head. "How did you get your hat back?'
Yoshiki chuckled. "You really got to learn how to lock your locker before you leave. If it wasn't unlocked, I wouldn't been able to get my hat back. Good thing you heard the explosion and went to investigate. Let me guess, you used your common sense to figure out that I could have been hurt."
Ayumi nodded. Yeah, I remembered you were at the competition. I was so worried about you."
Yoshiki smiled. "The good thing is I'm okay, I got my hat back from your locker, not to mention this."
He reached into the pocket of his tuxedo pant and pulled out the small, blue, velvet box that Ayumi had found in her locker earlier that day. He opened it, revealing the heart shaped, pink sapphire, gold ring to Ayumi.
"Ayumi," Yoshiki asked, lovingly. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Ayumi nodded and took the ring from its box. She placed it on her second finger from the left on her left hand. "Yes, I will."
And with that said, they both leaned in and shared a passionate kiss.
As for the eleven roses in Ayumi's locker, they would probably be dead now since they weren't in water to keep them alive. The fake one was still the way it was when Ayumi found it.
That rose will never die. Ayumi and Yoshiki's love will never end.
The end! So I'm thinking of making another story longer than this one and of course Ayushiki. Do you guys want that or do you want me to stop :"writing. Please R&R
