My new Neighbor's an Idol!?

The gal in our Stars

Ishi shut his eyes and did his best to try and fall asleep. Perhaps that wasn't the right course of action, as the harder one tries to sleep, the more difficult it becomes to do. He wanted to do so as quickly as possible since there was a major concern something might keep him from doing so.

After all, he was stuck in a cabin with Otoya, along with the other four girls. Despite their conversation at the dinner table, he could sense that Rinse hadn't fully been able to get over his near death experience. Youna was always one to worry about everything, so she might try and check on him every hour to really make sure the snake wasn't venomous.

Chinae probably wouldn't care all that much, so he wasn't worried about her. But the one he was most annoyed with was Ryugi. The reason was simple.

"Hey, are you still awake?" Because she was the one already shaking him as his eyes were closed. "Ishi, you can't have already fallen asleep, right?"

"When I didn't respond the first time." He opened up his eyes and got a good look at the girl's assets above him. "That's supposed to tell you that I don't want to wake up."

"Well, you see." She backed off from him as she had an obvious lying voice. "I might've drank a bit too much during dinner. Could you... Help a girl to the bathrooms in the scary dark night?"

"Hmpf." He grinned at her poor excuse. "I see this is your way to get me alone." Ishi replied. "Your trick might've worked if it wasn't for the fact that the counselors have a restroom as a part of their cabin." The boy pointed over to the back of the building which had a door open to reveal a toilet.

"Fine, you caught me." She hung her head down. "But can you please just come with me?" He scanned the room to check on the others. It seemed that everyone else was out for the night.

"How long has it been since we headed for bed?"

"I don't know. Like, an hour or something."

"An hour?" He didn't realize how much time had passed. Now the boy was coming to the painful realization that getting a good night's rest was not in the cards for him. "Fine, I'll come with you." It was better than laying in bed all night being frustrated. "Whatever you got to say better not be stupid." Not that it would matter either way, since he was going to join her.

"Hehe, of course I'm too hard for you to resist." She bragged as the girl pulled him quietly outside. The area was nearly pitch black, with only the stars in the night sky to light the way. Apparently standing out in front of the cabin was too boring for her, as she continued to lead him out into the woods.

"Should be a little careful." He warned her. "You never know what might be active during the night."

"I'm sure you know all about danger." She referred to his snake bite. "But come on, isn't it a little exciting." He didn't envy her spirit of adventure. "Plus, if the adults catch us we're totally going to be in major trouble."

"I see you wanted me to come along to try and reduce your punishment if that happened." He quipped. "Something tells me you've done this before with some other boys. Let me be the first to warn you that someone other than me might want to take advantage of the situation."

"Oh please, I can totally handle myself." She grabbed onto her bicep in a show of strength. "We both know I'm stronger than I look." While she wasn't wrong, he still had his doubts on the safety of her behavior.

"Really? So you're strong enough to handle this?" Ishi took advantage of the fact that she had her guard down. As they had established, they both believed he would never pull something bad to her. Which was why when he did exactly that, she wasn't ready to stop him.
