chapter 15: the new me!

kainan auditorium

almost everyone in the auditorium gaped at the

girl who just walked in. jin who was busy helping in the decorations dropped the

box of decorations he was holding as he saw the girl. misa the president of the

music club stopped rehearsing her part the minute she saw her. ria eyes widened

at the the girl who just passed by. kiyota eyed the girl undoubtly smitten by

it's beauty.

this girl has this shoulder-length shiny

light-red hair that is simply clipped with blue barrettes, she has this clear

jet-black eyes. she was dressed in a blue halter top and blue hipster jeans. on

her feet she wore a pair of stringed sandals.

"who is that girl?" a guy asked jin.

jin shook his head and said, "dunno... but she looks gorgeous!" kiyota

exclaimed, "gorgeous? she looks like an angel!" then veniz entered the

auditorium saying, "there you are arika!" the mysterious girl turned

her head and spoke, "veniz-san!"

"arika?" everyone exclaimed in the

auditorium. veniz giggled and exclaimed, "that's right, this girl in front

of you is fujisawa arika. like her new look?" with that she winked at

everyone. misa went down the stage and exclaimed, "wow fujisawa-san! you

looked beautiful! is this all for the festival presentation?"

arika nod her head saying, "you can say

that wakashi-san" jin approached her and exclaimed, "i didn't recognize

you arika, wow! you dyed your hair and you're not wearing any glasses. i hope

your vision is good" arika laughed and exclaimed, "i'm wearing

contacts jin-san"

jin blushed and said, "oh yeah, that's

right" then one by one the people approached arika to check her out. veniz

peeked at kiyota. kiyota looked dumbfounded and shock at the same time. "that's

arika?" he wondered. he slapped himself and thought, "whoah...

such change..."

meanwhile ria was red in rage. "that

dirt bag! how come she's so god dammed beautiful now? and what's with the

cheerful attitude? darn!" she exclaimed to herself. veniz laughed to

herself thinking, "my plan is working out very well!"

misa gave the mike to arika and said, "i

suppose it's your turn to rehearse fujisawa-san" arika shook her head and

exclaimed, "no, rehearse first wakashi-san, i have some things to attend

first with the science club" jin shook his head saying, "whoah wait

arika... let me do that"

"no jin-san, you're helping out with the

decorations, i'll handle this. don't worry" arika smiled smiling sweetly

with that she bowed before them and left. jin approached kiyota who looked

stunned and exclaimed, "did you see that kiyota? that was arika!"

kiyota gulped and said, "i know..."

jin shook his head and said, "boy, she did sure change a lot... from the

physical and the attitude, haven't you noticed? she's so dammed cheerful and

sweet!" kiyota then noticed veniz looking at them. he approached her and

asked, "what did you do?"

"oh nothing kiyota, i just gave her a

makeover for her presentation. a singing sensation like her should look like a

star you know" veniz pointed out smiling slyly. "don't play with me

veniz. i know that's not the only purpose. you're helping her to get back at

me!" kiyota snapped.

veniz smiled innocently and said, "common

now kiyota, why would i do that? arika is not out to get you, she just want to

prove something. like... she can beautiful not only inside but also outside, the

hell, people here are so blind anyway and looks only count and besides... people

here only looks at the facade of things not knowing the real truth. so why not

she play along?"

"veniz..." kiyota replied through

gritted teeth. veniz gave him a look and said, "what's wrong kiyota? are

you regretting now? common now don't, you're just a victim here just like her...

a blind victim that is!" with that she walked away.

ria exclaimed, "ignore her kiyota-kun.

she's just trying to get to you!" kiyota then glared at her and exclaimed,

"shut-up ria, i didn't asked for your help!" with that he walked out.

ria went red and replied, "what? you...." jin snickered and said,

"nice going ria you just really pissed him"

"i did not pissed him. it was sakuragi

veniz and that dirt bag fujisawa arika!" ria snapped. jin eyed her and

said, "you really got the nerve to say that ria. i mean... you did blinded

kiyota" ria went white and said, "what do you mean?"
