"We are totally screwed" Yossie hissed.
"This is bad." Rika concluded.
"The longer they yell at us the longer I have to wait to get dinner." Tsuji added.
"Suprisingly, I'm still not upset over this." Miki said quite cheerfully, her arms crossed.
Just then Takahashi spoke up
"Shouldn't you be thinking about Risa and not yourselves?!?"
The group of girls looked at her.
"She's obviously still quite emotional over all this." Miki stated.
"We have to be at rehearsals in 10 minutes. They're gonna find out we don't know where Risa is! This is going to be bad!"
"Hey, hey, my Takahashi's broken, she just keeps repeating the samething over and over again! Can I get a new one, leader?"
Yossie looked at Miki, trying not to laugh.
"Just keep your voice down, we might be able to make it through without her. And if they ask we can just tell them that she's sick or something."
"Well....I guess that could work." Takahashi agreed. "But the fact is she's still missing and I'm really worried."
"Why don't you call her cellphone?" Yossie offered.
"Ah, yeah, I'm sure she didn't think of that one two days ago." Miki said.
"Wow! That's such a good idea!"
"You're kidding me, right? You have to be kidding me." Miki said in disbelief.
Takahashi pulled out her phone and fumbled with the buttons. Soon a ringing sound filled the hallway. The girls all glanced around trying to locate the device.
Tsuji calmly reached into her pocket.
"Hello?"
"Risa?"
"No"
Takahashi and Tsuji folded the phones closed and put them back in the pockets, almost in sync.
"Well, it was a nice idea" Rika stated, trying to bring up the mood.
Just then Nakazawa entered their veiw. She grabbed onto Miki's and Yossie's arms pulling the girls along.
"Meeting, come on. Move."
The group of girls followed after her.
"What for?" Yossie asked, concerened that no one seemed to take her leadership position seriously. She was always the last to know about meetings.
"I need to try and clean up your mess once again." Yuuko stated as she power walked down the hall, some of the girls struggling to keep up.
