Pri Para, Stand Back Up!

Chapter 9: Why.

Topaz POV:

When I walk into school the next morning after I appeared on the stage, everything is normal, nobody seems to have caught on that I am the mysterious idol that stood high above the opposition the night before, nobody knows that I am the Topaz that sings.

"Alright class, I want you all to take your books out now and turn to page seven, I want to get this down today so no distractions" the teacher smiles at the class, taking her seat and opening her own textbook, showing a detailed model of the human body.

Leaning back in my chair, I am glad that I do not have to try today, having covered all of the different parts of the body to aid in my magic tricks, you never know what you might need to know about a persons body, to make them sleep or the easiest ways to confuse someone.

"Topaz Yume! Why are you not paying attention to the class?" The teacher yells at me, glaring intently, she actually looks mad.

"Well teacher, I don't mean to appear rude, but I already know all of this, I covered it all in my hobby" I smile politely up at her, my radiant smile melting her heart immediately, destroying any argument she can make after.

"Well then that is fine Topaz, here you can research whatever you like in the library, there should be a boy from the class there already, like you, he already knows the majority of what we are studying" she smiles at me, giving me a pass that states I have permission to be out of class.

"Thank you teacher!" I bow politely, closing the door behind me, making my way to the library with a map she drew...badly.

After about five minutes of looking, I realize I am lost in the corridor, looking around worriedly, trying to find a sign or anything to point me in the right direction.

Stopping in front of a statue in the main hall, trying to figure out why the receptionist is not there right now, sighing I lean back against the statue, putting my hands on its base and opening my eyes wide with surprise when I fell myself falling backwards into darkness.

Shinji's PoV:

"I wonder what that noise was" I ask myself, looking over the top of my book, looking around the library, noting that I am the only one here. Shrugging, I lean back and focus on the words written before me, my great love for idols is followed closely for my love of books, the onyl thing distracting me from thinking about the return of my favorite idol.

"Shinji are you in here?" Miss Carol, my classroom teacher whisper yells into the library, walking over to where she knows I usually sit when I am in here.

"Yes Miss Carol, I am where I usually am" I yell out, look around a bookshelf and giving a wave, earning us a glare from the librarian.

"You did not happen to see a girl come in here, she seems to have disappeared on her way, I told her to come in here because she already knew everything in the class" she sighs, sitting near me, visibly shaking.

"No, I have not seen her, why are you looking for her?" I ask her, looking up from my book, pushing my glasses up.

"Well her little sister is feeling sick and needs someone to walk her home, I assumed if she was not to busy she could do it" Miss Carol smiles at me, sighing afterwards. "I guess I will have to ring her mother"

Thinking about it, I am not doing very much right now and I think the little girl will probably need to get home quickly if the teacher is going through so much effort to find this girl to bring her home.

"Sensei, I can bring her home if you like" I smile politely up at her, getting to my feet and putting my book into my bag.

"Really Shinji? That would be a great help! Thank you!" Miss Carol beams at me, leading me to the lobby and waiting beside the statue for her to bring the girl over.

I glance around the lobby, noticing something glittering on the floor, leaning down and picking it up. A Pri Para friendship ticket is on the floor, and stranger yet, Topaz is on the front! What does this mean? Does this mean Topaz was in here? In our school? That is impossible!

Before I can ponder what this could mean, the teacher smiles and walks over to me, a young girl behind her slightly, looking very pale.

"Here she is, she does not live to far from here so it should not be to bad Shinji" Miss Carol smiles, thanking me again before walking away, leaving the girl nearby. I walk over to her, pocketing the friend ticket and smiling down at her.

"Ready to go home are we?" I ask her, leading her out of the school gate and down the path displayed on one of sensei's awful maps.

"Mmmhmmm" She reply's weakly, walking close by, looking very sick, I wonder what could have made her this sick?

Walking down the road, I feel something leaning against my arm, looking down to see the girl resting on me for support before passing out on the pavement, worrying me a bit, picking her up and running the rest of the way to her home, knocking furiously at the door

The girls mother walks out, noticing me first before her daughter, eyes opening wide in shock and taking her inside, looking very worried.

"Alice! Didn't I warn you! You and your sister have to take two pills every morning otherwise you will both get really sick! Why didn't you take them!" The girls mother yells at her.

"B...but M...mom there w...was only o...one left this m...morning. Onee-chan l...let me take it" Alice sighs wearily, laying back on the sofa, looking up at her mother sleepily.

"T...thats good, you shouldn't get the effects too bad then, as long as we get you another pills soon" the mom says, smiling at her daughter and pushing hair out of her face, suddenly going still when she realizes what Alice said.

"Y...you said that you took the only pill Alice?" the mom asks, visibly whitening when Alice nods her head yes.

"Then what about your sister, where is she!"
