The Aspiring Idol

Saotome Academy

"Please! Please... I really want to take that entrance examination!" Hearing that voice emit from the computer, I turned to look.

That's the girl I saw on the way here... "Miss Fujikawa, why don't you go help her out? Turning back to look at the headmaster, I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Afterall, she might be the the key to the reopening of the door to your heart. Besides, I've already briefed you about your scholarship, no?"

Despite hating the way he talks as if he knew everything, the girl was only late because she stopped to help a lost child.

"Very well, I'll help her out. But what happens to her from then on out is her own problem from now on." "That's the spirit! Now, tell those guards, I bring them a special message..."

After telling me a special code word, he swung out of the window, leaving me extremely pissed that he didn't give me instructions on how to leave the maze of a place that was Saotome Academy.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"How many times do we have to say 'no'? We can't let you in!" Finally reaching the entrance, I was greeted by an unfamiliar orange head.

"Wait." Everyone turned to look at me. "I bring words from the headmaster." Walking to one of the guards, I tiptoed slightly and whispered in his ear what Shining told me to say.

His eyes widened. "Yes, of course, understood!" Bowing to me at a 90 degree angle, he then proceeded to do what I told him to.

"It's okay, you can go in." His response was met with surprised and happy faces. "They're making an exception, you can take the test."

"Thank you! Thank you both!" The girl then turned to me. "Thank you so much..." Her voice trailed off as she realized she didn't know my name.

"You'll know my name if we're fated to meet." With that, I started to walk off, but was stopped by a certain playboy.

"Here, little lamb, for you." Turning back, a red rose was presented in front of me. I raised my eyebrows. "Little lamb"? What the hell.

"Thank you for helping her out there. How about to repay you, let's go out for dinner sometime. I know this 3 star location on top of a hotel in Shirakawa Boulevard.

And the view at night is almost as breathtaking as you. " As he flashed his smile, I couldn't believe this guy. Staring back coolly at him, I crossed my arms. "There's only 20 minutes till the examination starts. You all better get in there if you want to take the test."

"Wait up!" What now.... "Hey uh, I know this is sudden, but where have I seen you before?" In response he orange haired flirt chuckled.

"Wow kid, didn't know you had it in you. That's one of the oldest lines in the book!" "Huh? Oh! No, that's not what I meant!" Shaking my head, I walked off. This whole thing was a complete waste of time.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Taking a deep breath, I braced myself. I am no longer who I once was. I shall not be bullied once again. Then, I opened the door.

All eyes fell on me, and the room went silent. "Ahh little lamb!" God damn it! It just had to be him didn't it! Looks the the "don't draw attention to myself" plan is a flop from the get go isn't it...

He got out of his seat and was just about to reach out to me, when I slid the door back in his face. Nope. Not today.

I don't get paid enough for this shit.
