Chapter 5
The next day at school, yossie got yelled from Nakazawa sensei for ditching school and being late to school. She spared her life this time because Yossie did her homework .
Thanks Goto. You save my life. Yossie fidgeted a pencil between her index finger and her thumb, ignoring Nakazawa sensei lecturing a math lesson. Rika seemed to take several glances at Yossie and her lips curved up.
“Yoshizawa, it seems that this class isn’t the type to entertain you right?” Nakazawa sensei had her back talking to Yossie while continuing writing. “Can I have you solve this math problem. What’s 2+1?”
“0.” the class was cracking up and Nakazawa sensei stared at her with a weird look. Rika turned to look at Yossie waiting for her explanation.
“Why is it zero?” one student asked while holding her stomach.
“Well, when one person falls in love with two people, since he/she cant decide who to be with, so he/she ends up with no one. Having no one at the end, isn’t that zero?” Yossie replied coherently.
“No doubt that she is Hiromi-chan. Only she and I know about this theory.” Rika thought to herself with her chin rested on her palms.
“I really like your theory but this is a math class, not philosophy class so please don’t give any meaningless answer. Everyone concentrate now!” Nakazawa sensei demanded.
School was finally over and Yossie strolled down to the gate but stopped when she saw a familiar figure standing there. The figure saw yossie started to approach closer to her.
“I’ve been waiting for you Yossie.” Rika grinned.
“You want to take revenge from yesterday?” Yossie put her hands in her pants’ pockets to make a cool pose.
“Nope, I want you to go shopping with me.” Rika didn’t give Yossie a second to react knowing that Yossie might protest. She immediately grabbed yossie’s arm and pulled her into the car. “Drive me to a mall.” She ordered her driver.
“What the? This is nothing but kidnapping. You can let go of my arm you know.”
“Oh.” Rika let go of yossie’s arm and looked down embarrassedly.
The car arrived at a mall and the two walked into a store that sells dresses and suit. The cashier bowed to Rika and Yosie. Rika then tried on the dresses and most of them were pink, leaving yossie standing there waiting for her. Yossie tapped her foot on the floor, hoping that rika will finish soon.
“If it wasn’t because of my duty, I would have left you already.” Yossie talked quietly to herself. A couple of girls passed by Yossie and they stopped, exchanging a few words with her.
“Wow, you’re so handsome. What’s your name and how old are you……?” They kept on bombarding questions at yossie but yossie just ignored them sicne she hate annoying people.
“If you guys don’t get away from her, ill make you guys regret for this.” Rika with her arms fold, shot them a death glare which sent them away. Yossie stared at rika with amusement. “what are some annoying brats.”
“Are you done choosing a dress and why do you need one suddenly.”
“Because tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday.” Rika held a pink dress infront of her and examined herself in a mirror. She turned left and right and spinned around.
"Geez most of the stuffs she chose were pink. I wonder if her panties are pink too". Yossie smirked to herself. She then came up with a plan. She pretended to drop her key and bent down to pick it up. She took peek under Rika’s skirt. Ha! Just as I expected, it’s pink. What’s wrong with girls these day.
Rika caught Yossie looking under her skirt in the mirror. “I guess you’re all talk on the outside but deep down inside you’re just a pervert.” Yossied denied and looked away shamefully.
“Alright I’m done with my dress, now let’s look a suit for you.”
“Why do I need to buy one.”
“Because you’re invited to my party .” Rika grabbed a suit and put it infront of Yossie then she took another one to compare.
Yossie didn’t refuse to go to rika’s party since this is her chance to go to her house and maybe she could sneak into her father’s room.
“Here try this one.” Rika acted like she was Yossie’s girlfriend. Yossie put on a nice fabric black suit. “You’re so cool.” Rika’s mouth seemed like drooling.
The two went to pay their clothes. Rika wanted to pay for Yossie’s suit but she refused.
“Sorry,I don’t use girl’s money.” Yossie quickly stopped Rika. “How much is it.” Yossie asked the seller.
“Your suit costs 39,000 yen.” She took out her wallet and handed the cash to the cashier. "Darn why did she choose an expensive one.
While yossie was paying her clothes, Rika was mesmerizing about her childhood past.
These necklaces will be around 2,000 including the engraving.
“Hiromi, let me help you pay half of the price.”
“No Riko, gentlemen don’t let girls pay and I don’t like using girl’s money. This is a gift from me to you so let me pay.” Riko didn’t say anything and obeyed her friend’s words.
“So many years and you’re still like that. Acting as a gentleman, a stubborn one also.” Rika talked in her mind.
“Hey?” Yossie waved her hand infront of Rika’s face. “Are you daydreaming? I’m done with my payment.” Rika blinked her eyes and came back to reality. “What time does the party start?”
“At six pm.”
“Anyway I’m done. I’m going home. See ya.”
“Wait I need to give you a ride back since I brought you here.”
“It’s ok. I don’t want to give you any trouble. Actually you’re troubling me. I would have been at home resting right now if you didn’t kidnap me.” Rika watched yossie’s back disappearing behind the door.
