>>EveryoneHey there, I'm back~
I'm really really really sorry for taking so long to update.
I'm really trying my best, but school is really being a pain right now.
And for me, school comes before my hobby, so it might take longer than one or two weeks for one updates from now.
Especially with the school term coming to an end soon, tests and assignment and projects are flying my way.
After that, I would be moving into boarding... Yes...
Perhaps then, I would be able to make my updates slightly more often~
Perhaps. Just perhaps.
Anyway, this isn't an update on TPB as I wanted it to be.
Having my mind occupied on something else while typing is quite difficult for me,
so I couldn't type out the TPB chapter.
But I got the chapter plot down, so I guess I'm like... 1/3 way through it?
This is a AGP update.
A chapter on what happened to the girls at the restaurant~
I wonder, if any of you guys guessed that this would happen.
Have fun reading!
And I hope you guys like it!
Please comment if you can!
Comments keeps me going~
Until next time~ Peace meow~
SKE All Girl's Private School - Chapter 19Akane’s surprised expression matched the one on Rena’s face as well as the other girls behind the tables.
“Hey all!” Akane greeted everyone with the biggest smile Rena had ever seen on the girl’s face, “What are you guys doing here?”
The girls greeted back and Rena smiled at the girl, “We were eating here, but we’re planning to go back now because the people who reserved this table came early.”
Akane laughed, “Oh? So you guys were the ones that were occupying our table!”
“Your table?” Kanako asked, a confused face on her face.
“Yeah,” Akane nodded, “We are the ones that reserved this table.”
The girls all laughed while Masana picked up their shopping and said, “Well then we better go, before we hold up too much time.”
Just as Masana was about to push Kanako to get the girl to start leaving, Akane shook her head and held out her hand, stopping the head girl’s action, “It’s okay, you guys can stay, hold on a sec.” Leaving the girls behind without explaining her words, Akane ran back towards the entrance of the restaurant.
***
“How can you give away a table we reserved?” Kanon asked furiously at the manager who kept bowing and apologizing.
“We’re really sorry, but because there was still time before the time of your reservation, we thought it would be better if we didn’t let our guest wait for too long so we allowed them to take your table. We are really sorry,” the manager said as he bowed over and over again.
Jurina stepped forward, about to say something back when she heard someone call out to her.
“Jurina-chan!” Akane ran back to the girl with a big smile on her face. Without saying anymore words to Jurina, Akane turned to the manager and smiled at him as well, “It’s okay, sir, don’t worry about the table. They are our friends.”
“Churi?” Jurina called out, wondering if the girl knew what she was talking about. If she said that, then the manager would just let the people at their table stay and then they wouldn’t be able to eat here. And that would ruin the entire birthday plan.
Akane just grinned at the girl, took her hand and quickly dragged her towards their reserved table with Kanon, Kumi and Mizuki following closely behind. “Let’s join them, you guys,” Akane said.
“Join who?” Jurina asked as she allowed herself to be dragged.
“Rena-chan of course,” Akane skidded to a stop excitedly in front of the table.
“E-Eh?” Jurina looked at the girls sitting at their table, Masana, Kanako, Airi and last of all, Rena. She truly wasn’t expecting to be able to see Rena twice today. It was as if, as some people said, fate brought them together. However, somehow, that sentence doesn’t exactly apply to Jurina, since most of the time that sentence apply to lovers. And that, obviously was not what Jurina and Rena’s relationship was. Or at least, not yet.
Kanon looked at the group, most of them she knew, but Rena was someone she didn’t know. Kanon remembered seeing her a few months ago when Jurina collapsed, but after that, Kanon never talked with the new girl at all. Unsure about the new girl’s presence, Kanon asked in a whisper, “Are you sure, Churi?”
Akane nodded and jumped around, “Of course! The more the merrier!”
Jurina was about to say something else but again, was cut short. This time, by Mizuki, who poked her back and shook her head at her, telling her silently to just let Akane be. Jurina nodded and said nothing else as they made their way to their seats.
’It is Churi’s birthday afterall, should let the girl do what she want I guess... But eating on the same table as Rena...’“Hello, Jurina. It’s been a long time since we have seen each other,” Masana smiled at Jurina. Seeing each other was common at school, but for Masana to actually have time to talk to Jurina face to face was rare. One reason being that Masana had lots of other duties to do during free periods that there just isn’t time to catch up. And the other reason being that Jurina was, well, Jurina. It’s hard to be able to catch the playgirl alone.
Jurina smiled at the head girl, glad to finally see Masana again, “Indeed, Masana-san. It has been a while since we talked.”
“Oh. My. God!” Kanako’s eyes looked as if they would fall out of her sockets as she stared at Jurina with her mouth gaped open. “It’s Jurina! It’s THE Jurina! Jurina is here! The great Jurina is here! Oh my god we are going to be eating on the same table as THE Jurina! Is this a dream!?” Kanako jumped out of her seat and squealed as she continues to ramble on about Jurina. Jurina grinned at the girl, already used to having people react like this around her. Deciding to tease the girl slightly, Jurina winked at Kanako. Not expecting such action from the famous girl, Kanako clenched at her chest and fainted.
“E-Eh? Is she okay?” Kumi asked as she watched Kanako fainted back into her seat.
Mizuki laughed and said as she playfully slapped Jurina’s arm, “Of course she is! Jurina is just messing around with her charms again.” The girls giggled, even Airi had a giant grin on her face.
Everyone was smiling, everyone but Akane, who hated it when Jurina plays around with other girl. Noticing this, Jurina softly gave Akane’s hand a small squeeze, gaining the girl’s attention and then smiled at her, instantly gaining forgiveness. Akane could never stay annoyed at Jurina, no matter how many times Jurina does things she doesn’t like. It was one point she hated about herself, but it was also one point that she knew she could never change about herself.
Rena didn’t greet Jurina with words, but just looked at her. Knowing that others would start questioning if they become so close all of a sudden when most of the time at school in the eyes of the public, Jurina is always cold to the other girl. Jurina looked back at Rena, suddenly remembering the big smile on the girl’s face back at the anime expo. Also remembering Mizuki’s question back then, Jurina allowed herself to give Rena a small smile. Rena stared at Jurina, shocked for a second that Jurina smiled at her in public. Rena wanted to look away, afraid the others would notice, but found herself unable to look away from Jurina’s smile as she unconsciously smiled back at her.
“So, can they join us, Jurina-chan? Please?” Akane asked as she pulled on Jurina’s sleeve.
Jurina looked back at Kanon, hoping to have her make the decision for her, only to find the girl giving her an “up to you” look. Jurina turned back to Akane and found the girl looking back at her with begging eyes that Jurina couldn’t help but just surrender to. But it wasn’t like Jurina didn’t want the girls to join anyway, it would be a new experience for her, being able to eat on the same table in public as Rena. Jurina smiled back at Akane, “Of course, whatever you want.”
Akane cheered while the girls looked for a place sit. Kanon sat down first, right inside next to Masana, while Kumi moved inside with her and put her bags under the table. “Nee, Mizuki, the table have more spaces, you can put your things there too!” Akane said as she pointed to the space next to Kumi’s bags and peered inside the things that Mizuki bought, “and since when were you into shopping, Mizuki? I didn’t know you bought this much stuff.” Mizuki quickly held the bags closer, stopping any chance of Akane being able to see what was inside. Ignoring the girl’s statement about her, Mizuki quickly placed her bags down and sat down next to Kumi.
Jurina placed her’s and Akane’s things under the table as well then moved back out and asked Akane, “Where do you want to sit?”
“Anywhere is fine,” Churi answered and took a seat next to Mizuki.
Jurina was surprised when Akane chose to sit next to Mizuki instead of Rena. But then it was already expected, since the girl was closer to Mizuki than she was to Rena. Jurina pulled out the only available seat left next to Rena and sat down. Seeing Jurina was having trouble sitting comfortably due to not having enough space, Rena moved slightly towards Airi to give the girl more space. Jurina smiled at Rena and thanked her as she shuffled in her seat to get into a more comfortable position. Rena smiled back and said that she is welcome. The two kept smiling at each other until Rena remembered where they were and looked away with her cheeks burning,
’Why do you keep on smiling at me today, Jurina? Why can I never focus on anything else when you smile at me!?’Unknowingly, Akane saved Rena from Jurina’s smile when she gained Jurina’s attention by tapping the girl’s arm and asking her what to order. Jurina turned and read through the menu with Akane while discussing over the table with Kanon about what to order. Kanako next to Kanon, started rambling to Kumi about the things she saw in the bag of goods that Kumi bought and the two were lost in a conversation about the 2D universe. However, as much as most of the girls didn’t notice the small exchange between Jurina and Rena, some did. Airi, Masana and Mizuki sat quietly on the side, lost in their own mind as they tried to process what the two girls were doing just then. Airi however, started feeling a small burning pain in her heart as she remembered how Rena smiled at Jurina when the two kept looking at each other. This feeling was a feeling Airi had never felt before, and Airi wasn’t sure if she wanted to find out what that feeling was.
***
As a sincere apology from the manager for causing so much trouble for the girls, the girls’ order were placed on first priority and within less than half an hour, the table was stacked with massive amount of food. Although the other girls already ate, after some persuasion from Akane and a humorous war between Mizuki and the bowl of pasta that just refuses to be spooned into Mizuki’s bowl, they too, continued eating. Not to mention, the food were too nice for the girls to stop eating. As the girls eat, without any of them realizing, the usual barrier that was always between the popular girls and the others disappeared and the dinner went on with small conversations here and there about school and what they did in the anime expo. Some of them even went as close as to already calling each other by their nicknames.
Every now and then, Jurina would see Akane smile excitedly and jump up and down in her seat when the conversation gets into topics that she likes. Seeing how happy Akane was today, Jurina smiled and was glad that she ditched today’s training for her birthday. Suddenly, the conversation started turned into a heated argument between Mizuki and Masana about whose diet was more efficient and which food on the table had the most calories.
“No way! This pasta is perfectly healthy! Sure the cheese made most of the calories, but it sure is better than that pizza in front of you,” Mizuki held onto her bowl of pasta protectively, as if someone was going to rip it out of her arms.
Masana laughed, “Na-uh! The pizza was simply baked, that was it. Comparing the amount of cheese on your pasta and the one on the pizza, it’s obvious that your pasta has more. I mean, looking at even just the pasta in your bowl, it has more cheese than the ones on this pizza.”
“Maa,” Mizuki leaned back in her seat as she poked a few more pieces of pasta into her mouth, “Either way, you ate more calories than your Masanya diet had allowed you. I mean, you ate before we came too right? Hahaha~” And the conversation continued with Masana continuously defending herself about her calories allowance having an exception today.
Airi on the other hand, while Masana and Mizuki kept eating, she had stopped eating already and was just sitting there, sipping at her drink. And it was all because of that brief second of contact...
***
>>A few minutes ago<<Airi watched as Mizuki and Masana started having an intense staring competition. Both of their eyes were turning red, becoming watery and were twitching. Airi knew one of them was going to lose sooner or later. Seeing how intense the battle was becoming, Airi was absolutely refusing to look away even for a second. However her stomach was calling out to her for more food. So without taking her eyes off the two girls, Airi’s hand reached out for a piece of pizza in front of her, not caring which flavor it was. Rena too, was amused by the stare-off by the two girls and didn’t want to look away. However, having fallen in love with the spicy pizza she had just a moment ago, she allowed her hand to slowly sneak towards the plate of pizza to grab another piece.
Neither girls paying attention to where their hands were going, their hands reached for the same pizza. At the same moment that their fingers touched the pizza crust, both girls felt a different contact on their hand. Airi was the first to look down, surprised at the strange electric like feeling she felt on her hand. She was starting to wonder if pizza could electric shock people. Once Airi realized what it was that shocked her, she quickly retracted her hand, her mind in a complete mess as she tried to gather her thoughts together while trying to get over the fact that she had just touched Rena’s hand.
Rena, though surprised at the sudden contact, quickly recovered and became more amused by Airi’s reaction to what happened than she was amused before by the staring competition which seems to have already slipped from both girls’ mind.
***
>>Back to the present<<[/b]
Rena, being her usual self, couldn’t get enough of Airi’s forever changing reaction, decided to keep on teasing Airi by giving food, knowing that not only is the girl still hungry, but the girl would also be too shy to reject her.
“Here, Airin,” Rena smiled as she gave Airi a scoop of pasta onto her bowl.
Airi stared at the pasta that was being scooped into her bowl and waved her arms around, “I-I-I-It’s okay, R-Rena-s-san! I-I’m not hungry!” Words that contradicted with the sound that came from her stomach almost right after she spoke.
Rena giggled and poked Airi’s face that was growing redder by each second, “Airin kawaii~”
Jurina, next to Rena, saw what Rena and Airi were doing but choose to ignore it. Ignoring not just the constant words of “Airin kawaii” being said, but also the strange tagging feeling in her chest. Turning away, Jurina tried to keep a smile on her face as she gave her attention back to Akane.
***
Although the food was already finished, all the girls seemed so engrossed in the conversations, the thought of going back to school haven’t even reached their mind yet. Lucky with Jurina having a bad habit of checking her phone every now and then, she realized that it was going to be time to leave soon if they want to be able to make it back to school in time. Looking at Kanon, the two of them nodded at each other, understanding what they both wanted to say. Jurina stood up from her seat, following after, Kanon, “Please excuse us for a sec.”
“Where are you going, Jurina-chan?” Akane held onto Jurina’s sleeve as the girl stood up.
Jurina just patted the girl’s hand and smiled softly before going off with Kanon, “I’ll be right back, Churi.”
“Are they going to the bathroom?” Kanako asked as she looked at the disappearing figure of the two girls.
Akane shook her head, “I don’t know. They didn’t say.”
All of a sudden, the restaurant light dimmed and the restaurant hushed into silence as all tried to figure out what was going on. From the corner of the restaurant, where the other kitchen of the restaurant was, Jurina and Kanon walked out, pushing a small cart with them. Jurina borrowed a lighter from the waiter and lit the candles on the cake and with the waiter pulling and both Jurina and Kanon pushing the cart, they made their way back towards their table.
Jurina and Kanon started singing happy birthday to Akane as they walked slowly, the girls quickly joined them. Within a few seconds, the entire restaurant joined in. By the time the song was finished, the cake had just arrived next to their table. The crowd clapped and cheered as the light slowly came back on as the waiter lifted the cake onto their table. Kanon thanked him and gave him a generous tip, ignoring the surprised look the waiter gave her at the huge tip. Making up his mind that Kanon was probably just a very rich girl, which she was, the waiter excused himself and left as Jurina and Kanon returned to their seats.
“This wasn’t needed at all, you guys...” Akane said in a really small voice, her head looking down as she felt her face turning pink at the amount of attention she was getting. She didn’t like getting so much attention, but for today, perhaps it was okay. It made Akane feel special, knowing that Jurina must’ve planned it all out with Kanon.
“I can’t believe I forgot it was your birthday, Churi,” Masana said, “I am so sorry I forgot. I will get you a present later, okay?”
“It’s okay,” Akane shook her head and smiled, “It was good enough just having all of you guys here celebrating with me.”
“Hurry up and make a wish, Churi,” Rena said, “before the candles melts onto the cake.”
Akane nodded and closed her eyes as she clasped her hands together. The girls waited patiently for Akane to slowly open her eyes with a small smile and blew out all the candles in one go. The girls clapped again and all said happy birthday again as Rena carefully took out the candles without ruining the cake and placed it aside. Jurina gave Akane the cake knife and smiled at the girl, “Make the first cut, Churi.” Akane nodded and carefully cut the cake in half and then handing the knife over to Kanon to cut the rest as she knew how well Kanon could cut a cake, unlike herself.
“What did you wish for, Churi?” Kanako asked excitedly as the girls waited for Kanon to split the cake and share the portions out.
“Wishes don’t come true when you tell others what they are,” Akane shook her head, refusing to allow others to know her wish.
“No,” Mizuki laughed, “You say your wishes out loud so people around you would make them come true for you.”
“So what did you wish for?” Kumi repeated Kanako’s question as she helped Kanon hand a piece of cake to everyone.
“It’s kind of a stupid wish though...” Akane mumbled, “So don’t laugh okay?”
“We won’t,” Kanon said as she sat back down and quickly took a bite into the cake.
’Oh wow, Jurina is incredible with cake. How can she make such tasty cakes? I should definitely get Jurina to make my birthday cake next time.’ The others nodded in agreement and just like Kanon, the others were all drowned in the heavenly taste of the birthday cake. Even Jurina herself, not expecting her cake to come out tasting this much better than what she had expected.
“Well...” Akane mumbled as she tried to gather up the courage to say her wish out loud. Jurina saw the hesitation on Akane’s face and gave her a small reassuring smile. She too, wanted to know what the girl’s wish was and if it was within her power, she would try her best to fulfill the girl’s wish. “Well... I wish I could get my first kiss this year,” Akane said and hid her burning face in her hands. The other girls couldn’t contain it and they burst into laughter. Not because of how stupid the wish was, but because it was so unexpected coming from Akane but an expected wish coming from someone of Akane’s age. “Hey!” Akane cried out, “you guys said you wouldn’t laugh!”
Recovering from their laughter, Kanako grinned and pressed forward, “From anyone in particular?”
Akane shook her head, but it was obvious there was someone. Or at least it was to Mizuki, since she already had an idea of who it is. “You suck at lying, Churi,” Mizuki pointed out as she took another bite into her cake.
Wanting to change topic, Akane pointed to Mizuki’s cake with her fork and said, “Your cake is going to melt soon if you keep talking, Mizuki.”
“There is someone, isn’t there?” Mizuki grinned, wanting the girl to admit it herself.
Akane choked on her cake and her eyes widened, “H-How did you know!?”
Kanako laughed, “So there IS someone!”
“Is it someone from here?” Kanon asked.
Akane facepalmed herself, unable to believe that she had just walked straight into Mizuki’s trap of admitting to it outloud. Akane shoot Mizuki a “I’ll get you back for this” look while Mizuki just laughed and shrugged it off, knowing that the girl was too nice to ever do anything to her.
“Tell us! Tell us!” Kanako repeated.
Akane looked around and saw that all the girls were looking at her, waiting for a response. Akane looked at Jurina again and saw the girl giving her the same encouraging look again, however, Akane still hesitated. She didn’t know what could happen if she told everyone who she wanted to have her first kiss with. Turning away, Akane looked at Mizuki, silently asking for the older girl’s advice, only to be given the same look as Jurina. With the extra of a small nod. Akane gathered her courage and quietly mumbled the name.
Akane’s voice was so small that barely anyone heard it. Anyone but one person. And that person frozed.
“Who?” Kumi asked again.
Akane repeated again in a louder voice. Confirming that person’s shock, and rendering the others speechless.
“Jurina-chan.”
Fufufu~
