Showered by the Stars

4. Under the moon's light

“Hey guys! Waddup? Are you guys having fun?” Kanami said over the microphone.

“Yeah!” a guy shouted.

“That’s great! Get some more drinks to the guy over there.” Kanami told the waiter.

“Awesome!” the guy shouted.

“Everyone! Enjoy the food and have fun! Here’s a song for you all. Quiet by Demi Lovato.” Kanami said.

Kunumi Keisuke started plucking the guitar as the girls screamed in excitement.

“I hear what you’re not saying, it’s driving me crazy. It’s like we stopped breathing in this room. We’re both the last to be leaving, I know what you’re thinking, I wish you’d make your move. It’s much too quiet in here.” Kanami sang.

Hibino Maya started the drums “I wanna disappear. I’m hearing myself thinking too clear”while singing with Fumino Yukari the strummer, “--Thinking too clear.”

“It’s too quiet in here. I wanna disappear. I’m hearing myself too clear. It’s too quiet in here, make it all go away. Why can’t we break the silence, finally.” Kanami continued singing as the guys cheered and asked some girls to dance with them.

Kanami looked really cool. I wondered where Ken went.

“Ah! Found him!” I laughed to myself as I watched Ken taking a video of Kanami having fun. These two, I hope they would get back together. They’re just too cute. I chuckled.

Ah. The moon is so full tonight.

I walked down the beach and sat there while listening to my iPod. Tonight is my lone time because those two are obviously enjoying it with their partners. Now that Matsumoto Jun came to see our very own Kana-chan. I sighed.

As I listened to the song ‘Where is your boy tonight?’ by Fall Out Boy, I let out a big sigh as I closed my eyes, lifting my hand as if to reach the stars.

“Hmm—I wonder where he is.” I said to myself. The truth is, I haven’t fallen in love with anyone. Twice I thought I already did, only to realize that it was just meaningless infatuation with nowhere to go. I know that I’m not that brave to confess to the guy I like, unlike some of the girls I know. Kana-chan and Ran-chan are both so lucky to be liked by those great guys. I chuckled as I remembered how far in hell those two guys went through just to get the girl they like. Ryu had to answer 1000 questions in an advance exam, and became me and Kana-chan’s errand boy for a month until we accepted him as an agreeable suitor for Ran. In the end, it was Ran-chan’s final decision to make him her boyfriend. Kana-chan and Jun are a bit different. Jun had to be our errand boy for a month while being Kana-chan’s assistant during photo shoots and he also had to get rid of the Kana-chan’s stalker fans. Kana went really soft after seeing the popular Jun’s perfect face became haggard. Hmm—Ran-chan and I saw how Kana-chan answered yes to Jun. Let’s just say, after the hell Jun went through, he was rewarded with an angelic kiss. I giggled.

“Hmm? What are you listening at?” It startled me. It was someone I don’t remember seeing.

“Eh? But this is Ave Maria by Andrea Boccelli. How come you’re giggling?” He asked, raising an eyebrow as the other earphone is plugged into his left ear. I scrambled.

“Ah!!!!! Wh-who are you? What are you doing here?” I looked around and saw couples walking by but they didn’t even glance once to our direction.

“H-hey! You’re Minami Mizuki, right? Don’t be scared.” He said. But still, I don’t know him.

“Wh-what? I’m not Minami Mizuki? Who’s that? I don’t know that girl.” I stammered, looking away nervously.

“Hmph. You Are Minami Mizuki. I’m not mistaken.” He said.

“Wh-what? H-hey! I said I’m not Minami Mizuki.” I insisted.

“Don’t lie. I know it’s you!” He said.

“Wh-what the--?” This guy is really persistent.

“Stop denying your own identity. There’s nothing suspicious about me. You could say I’m a fan of yours.” He said, sitting beside me.

“Huh? A fan, you say?” I said, raising my eyebrows.

“Yep. I saw you on the Winter Olympics last year. You beat the crap out of those representatives from other countries in golf.” He said.

“Ah—“ so he knows about me.

“You were so amazing then. I also watched your tennis match with the other school.” He laughed. “God! You were awesome, beating them with 2-0. I never thought you also play tennis. I thought you’re just a golfer.”

“Hmm—what’s with you?” I said, a little bit annoyed.

“You’re talking so familiarly. You haven’t even introduced yourself yet.” I said.

“Ah! Cool! I’m Takeshima Masato, 1st year class A Seisou Gakuen, I’m a master of both Aikido and Judo” He smiled. “nice to meet you.”

“Hmm—that school is famous from around here.” I said.

“Yeah. By the way, do you have a boyfriend? If not, then go out with me.” He said, grinning.

Huh? What is this guy saying? Is he picking up on me?

“W-what are you saying exactly?” I asked, slowly getting up.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me down.

“kyaaaaaaaaaaa!” my body is on top of him and my face is inches away from his. I tried getting up. But his grip on me was so strong I couldn’t break away.

“I like you.” He said. I felt my blood pulsating inside my veins and going up to my face.” A confession? But why do I look like I’m the one attacking him? Nooo!

“Hey! Let go of me.” I glared at him. He gulped and let me go.

“Okay—okay.” He said while raising both hands.

I got up and walked away.

“Hey! Think about it.” He shouted.

“No way in hell!” I shouted back.

“You better not think I give up so easily. I’ve already decided to make you my girlfriend Minami Mizuki.” He yelled. I blushed. I looked back.

“Idiot!” I shouted and ran away to where Ran-chan and Kana-chan are while my heart is thumping.

Damn! Surely not! With that guy? There’s no way in hell. Besides I haven’t forgotten about that person completely. I sighed as I looked at the beautiful moon.
