Chapter 5
Takamina pov
Next Day
I woke up like 7:00 am
“argh~” my muscles hurt a lot and my throat is a little irritated from yesterday, for coughing a lot, I hope its better for tomorrow at the auditions so I can sing well.
Im going to meet mii-chan later today so we can continue practicing for a little, before the audition. Its still early so im going to relax a bit, today my parents aren’t
working so im going to have to make up an excuse, so they don’t suspect.
Lying in my bed I was wondering who the girl from yesterday was, it was pitch dark so normally I couldn’t see her well, but somehow she reminded me of someone, I
think she reminded me of the girl that saved me that day, that girl.. she was so kind and her touch when she hold me to get me to the bench, it was warm, it felt so
good… but waaa~ I feel warm rising to my cheeks, this is so wrong…
After that I thik I felt asleep for thinking a lot about that girl, forgetting that it was 1 pm, I had to go to mii-chan house at 5:00 so we can continue practicing.
I start to get ready, taking a long bath so I can relax my muscles, after that I choose clothes that are fit for exercising, it takes me a while to get ready, now I only
have 2 hours more. In my bed I star humming a song, and then I start singing in low voice
Put your make-up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?
Get your sexy on
Don't be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
Yooou don't have to try
Oooh
Oooh
Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards
You don't have to choose, buy it all, so they like you
Do they like you?
Wait a second,
Why, should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing
Out of nowhere I feel like crying, would the judges at the audition like me enough?. Im plain looking, im not pretty enough at all, I don’t excel, I look like a boy, not saying im not girly enough, would they like me?...
I snap out of my thoughts because my phone starts to ring.
“nami-chan, where are you? Did something happen?” oh its mii-chan, I got to absorbed in my thoughts.
“Sorry mii-chan, im still at my house” she is going to get really mad.
“name-chan what are you thinking, is 5:20 you know? I got really worried because you didn’t arrive” I could sense her worries.
“Sorry i´ll be going right now, hehehe”
“Ok, I will be waiting” she hangs up, hmph, she didn’t even say goodbye.
I stand up, brush my hair and go out of my room. Across the living room where my parents are watching the TV. I reach the door.
“where do you think you are going minami” whep… she sounds irritated
“ohm…etto… im going to mii-chan´s house tehehe” I giggle nervously
“Tomorrow you have school, science is your last week, I don’t want you all tired, and slacking up”
“Please mother, I swear I’m not going to be slacking up, I always get good grades and have everything at school, please this is important for me”
I had little tears showing in my eyes, I don’t want her to see me crying, it will show her that I’m weak and give her reasons to not let me go.
“Oh- fine, but just a few hours”
“Waa~ arigato!” I think this is the first time I make her change opinions, normally if she says something is like that and I cant say another word.
I made my way to mii.chan´s house, and I cross the alley from yesterday, I remember that girl, I hope she is better.
I arrive to mii-chan´s house and ring the door bell
“Minami-chan, welcome!!, are you here to practice for the audition?” she asks with a lovely tone as always
“Yes! Is mii-chan here?”
“Hai, she´s been waiting for you, are you feeling good or tired, do you want water?” she sounds concerned
“No thanks, I’m alright, I will go to mii-chan, by bye mother” you wonder why I call her mother, well science I know mii-chan science little, I know her mother too, and
she worries about me so much, more than my mother would ever care, I like her a lot, she is like my own mother, but better than my original mom.
I nock mii-chan´s door, I hear some noises inside
“ouch” I hear mii-chan growl, I guess she has a mess in her room, like always she will try to make me help her clean her room, but I always refuse. Finally she opens
the door.
“Nami!! You sure are late! What happened” I can feel she is so concerned about me, so like her.
“Don’t worry, I was in my house and time sure went quickly” well its almost like the truth
“Sure. Okay” she didn’t believe me?
“Come on, we need to practice the choreography, I learned it already, but I need to master it” I couldn’t dance well at all, im so clumsy
“Okay” mii-chan played the song and we were prepared, while dancing, I was playing the moves in ky head. I know the steps, but sometimes I can’t make them, or I
get breathless and I have to stop for minutes.
2 hours later
“Phew” I sat on the floor with my back to the wall, this day of practice went pretty well, I didn’t have any mistake in the dance, but now I cant move any more, I am
too tired to lift one finger.
“Nami-chan, are you okay?” like always mii-chan is worried, I like her like a sister, but I don’t like people to worry to much about me, when I was little kids and most
adults looked at me with pity, I hated it so much, now I don’t worry to much but it still affects me.
“Hai~ I am alright, I only need to rest a bit, so I can breath properly” I was starting to normalize, I could stand up again.
“mii-chan, its time to go, my mother will be angry if I don’t arrive early, well you know how she is”
“Kay kay, nami-chan, see you tomorrow, bye bye”
I start walking to my house, it is not dark yet, but the sun has set a little, I walk slowl, but I like it ow the wind goes through my hair and I watch the sunset. In no
time I arrive to my house, my parents are still in the living room.
“Tadaima~” I greet them… but no answer comes out of their mouth, I don’t understand, it has been like this since I was little, I don’t remember when it started, but
since I can tell it has always been like this. I reach my room and drop myself in the bed. Tomorrow is the audition, I am nervous but, i´ll do it, i´ve practiced a lot, well
all that my body allowed me, I hope mii-chan and I will pass the audition, it would be awesome.
Acchans Pov
(it is still after takamina saved her)
When I get to my house in the entrance, I fall to the floor in my knees, quickly my parents arrive with me, worried looks on their faces, tears start flowing down my
eyes.
“Acchan! What happened to you?” mother asks, I sense worry in her voice.
“Atsuko are you okay?” father asks, he is worried too, I continue crying for minutes, my parents to my sides hugging me, rubbing my back, I feel wasted, I cant even
move my legs anymore, I stop crying, I remember the girl that saved me, if it wasn’t for her I would be raped by now, her embrace was so warm and nice. I felt like I
wanted to stay in her arms forever, but… wait! That doesn’t matter, she is a girl, oh this is sooo wrong and sick! What happened to me, what is wrong with me!!
“Acchan can you stand up?” I hear my mothers voice, I snap out of my trance, my internal battle was more long than what I thought
“I am okay now” I mumble
“But what happened to you, why did you started crying?”
“Well… when I was coming home back from mari-chans house, and you know I have to cross the alley, well there were two guys there and they cornered me and…”
tears were falling down my eyes again
“Did they do something to you!!” he looked red from anger “I am going to kill them, take me to them know, we´re calling the police” I´ve never seen him so angry,
he is normally so calm and composed.
“Wait! Dad, they didn’t do anything” I was embarrassed, because he didn’t even let me finish talking
“What, then why did you start crying, I thought…” well he always reacts so hastily
“No, before they could do something, someone saved me” I felt my cheeks warm, why? Why am I feeling like this?, I stared at the floor.
“Who saved you then, a police man or what?” he is so concerned, I had always been his little girl
“No…” I blush a little harder, still looking to the floor “It was a girl, she hit one guy with an iron bar, and he fell to the floor unconscious
“Waa~ she must be tall and very strong” mother was amazed, but she was wrong.
“Noo… she is all the opposite, she looked shorter than me, she was…” I didn’t know what to say, the tought of her let me out of words
“I only thank god that you are okay acchan” mother hugged me, it felt warm and loving, but so different from that girl
“hai… I feel good now, I am going to my room, goodnight” I am tired, thankfully tomorrow is Sunday and I´ve got nothing to do, I´ll just rest and watch TV.
MONDAY
My first thought just after I open my eyes
AUDITION!!!!!
Calm yourself Maeda Atsuko you will make it, no need to be nervous here, I need to get ready for school
“Mom, dad I am leaving” I´m happy today but inside, still nervous
“Bye Acchan good luck with the auditions” I´m lucky for my parents support me so much, with each decision I make, they always have supported me.
In my way to school, I walk slow, for mariko to reach me, but I notice two girls walking slower than me, they are a few meters away from me, but is like I´m watching
a movie in slow motion, is like they´re walking one step a minute, that is so ridiculous, I am reaching them, I wonder who they are, I am about to catch their step but…
“Acchan!” mariko is here know, I wonder if I should tell her about Saturday, but it is embarrassing so I won’t.
“Mari-chan good morning” we can continue walking and I don’t see the slow girls, since now I´m walking faster, we left them behind like in five seconds
--------------In the classroom-------------
“Nee acchan re you nervous?” instantly I notice it, she is nervous
“Don’t worry mari-chan, I´m sure we will make it, you can be a little confident with yourself, you know?” I smile at her
“We will surely make it”
----------------After class-----------------
“Mari-chan you can go ahead if you want, so you can arrive earlier” I have club activities today, by the way I´m in the drama club, since is the last week of class we are having a small party with the members
“Okay acchan, but be sure to arrive early, since you got me into this, you better make it in time”
“Haiii~ mari-chan
