Haru asked "Do you wanna hang out somewhere?'" I replied, "I don't want to". He said, "Let's hang out, today you never hang out with anyone". Out of nowhere Sanako came and said "lemme come with you guys, I can come, can't I? Right Tanaka-Kun?". I knew what she was planning she didn't want to pretend anymore. Then she asked me "Can I tag along too can't I um-hara-Kun?". I replied, "You see, I'm not going". And then Haru said, "Huh? You are coming, it doesn't matter if I am saying you are coming meaning you are!".
I said nothing they knew whenever I said nothing it meant yes. Then it was decided that Haru and Sayoko, were going but why did my neighbor look so troubled, I asked her "Do you wanna come too?". She replied "Of course idiot I was waiting for you to ask" I picked up my bag and started to leave the classroom, Haru, Sayoko, and Kane already left the classroom. But then I heard someone saying, ew so creepy, why did they decide to hang out with a guy like him? I was frosted there I couldn't take a single step, but then all of a sudden, she came for me, she said: "If you can't endure your surfing then I will take half of it". She started pulling me with my hand and we started walking then we left the classroom both Haru and Sayoko were smiling as they waited for us to arrive.
I wonder what these feelings are; they are so warm I never felt these feelings, wait for whom these feelings are? what I am feeling? What is going to happen next? Having no answer to this question I wondered myself.
We left our school and it was decided beforehand that we were going to Kakore. It was my first time going into one, but it seems like they know how things work here. We reached Kakore which was near a train station, after that, we went towards the recipient and the recipient asked
For how many people?
For four people, please. Haru replied.
For how long would you like to karaoke?
For around two hours.
After that, we were given our room. the walls were pretty thin, bottomless cups, on the menu you could have all you could drink, a simple soda and ice cream bar, costumes, and food!
"What songs do they have?" asked Sayoko. everything, they offer Korean, Japanese, Popular American Pop songs, and even some old stuff! I personally always sing some Disney, Utada, and some anime opening said Kane.
I ordered some fries, and others ordered some other kinds of stuff and then our food and drinks arrived, Sayoko said "Why don't we start by saying some songs?". I knew everyone was going to agree with her, well of course they would, after all, that was what we came here for.
Then I guess I am the first one said Sayoko.
Who said you're the first Sayoko San~? asked Kane
Huh? Is there any need for me to get permission from you?
And just like that they started fighting, Haru said please calm down both of you let's decide by playing rock paper scissors. Both of them said hmph fine by me. Then Kane said of course you have to participate Yuki Kun. I said what? Why do I have to do it? she replied you just have to. And just like that even I was dragged along. Haru said that leaves only me! Let's do it with everyone.
Everyone agreed, by chance Haru had won! he said um-looks like I won. Both of them were not satisfied. Sayoko said there was nothing we could do now, Kane replied seems like it. Haru went to choose a song, he chose Don't Cry - Hakuouki Otogisoushi ED, he sang the first word very gently "HAI! You! Time Limit! "
Yummiest ya forever yeah…
After that, Sayoko and Kane forgot about their argument about who would sing first, and they started cheering him by clapping, and after watching them I realized I had to do the same, and just like that I started following their lead, and after some time he ended his song. We clapped for him for singing, he said "Come on guys I am not even that great, well I guess it can't be helped." well I guess I shall accept your hands of applause!" in a proud manner. Kane said "you are didn't sing that well to be honest!" in a sarcastic way. Kane said "well Kane-San you said the truth" and teased him. And both of them looked at each other and started laughing. Haru said "you guys are so terrible". and he started laughing, and just like that they were enjoying the whole movement. After some time, our food arrived, and they kept singing, I kept myself company with drinks and food and watched them sing. Kane said, "Yuki-Kun why do you think we came here?". I replied, "For singing? I believed".
She asked, "Then why are you so quiet?". I replied, "Well you see I um- don't know how to sing!". she said, "Huh? You think that Tanaka Kun knew?". Haru looked kind of hurt. Sayoko said, "That's true Yuki and I know better than anyone how well you can sing Yuki!". why did you say that stupid? I said in the heat of movement
Kane and Haru were shocked, Kane said "Yuki? The hell why didn't you tell me?".
I was stunned to say anything. I started making excuses
Ah um-you see, Kane interrupted me and said I don't care about your excuses sing right now! I looked at Sayoko and gave her a mean look, if one could translate that look it would go like this "Meet me outside we need to talk". Kane said, "Hey? Now will u stop glaring at her? Will you sing?". Haru said that's right Yuki you have to sing for us!
And just like that I was made a scapegoat, they made me sing. Being so pressured I had to sing, first I drank some water and then after my throat became a little relaxed, I started singing
Baby, don't think twice, na-na
One second can change your life, na-na
Trust the way you feel tonight, na-na
Heaven is a shot in the dark
So shoot with your heart
And don't think twice, na-na
One second can change your life, na-na
Trust the way you feel tonight, na-na
Heaven is a shot in the dark
So shoot with your heart
Don't think twice
Am I drunk or am I dreamin'? (Am I dreamin'?)
'Cause, babe, I've never seen this clear (before)
This could be your best investment (best investment)
If you just stay right here
And with that, I was done, Kane and Haru were both shocked both were rooted in their place. and the whole room fell silent. Sayoko said while breaking the silence "See told you he sings so well, that's my childhood friend for you". Kane before saying anything her eyes shone.
Kane said "How can yo-you sing so good? You are so good why didn't told me that you could sing? Right now, I am too stunned to say anything but I can say that you are something else!"
I replied, "You think so? I mean this is not something that I am proud of but I guess I should say thank you, Kane!".
"Wait a sec!" what did you just call me?".
"No ah- I didn't say it on purpose"
" Now I don't know, you have to call me by my first name this is special only for you!".
"Then I hope you don't mind me calling you by your first name."
Haru and Sayoko said, "Guys will y'all stop flirting?".
I replied "No one is flirting with anyone!
"Kane looked a little bit sad but she also nodded. And just like that time was gone and we reached the time limit then a staff member came and asked "Would you like to extend a bit?". Then after discussing, we decided that extend for 1 hour, I said to the staff member that we would expand for 1 hour. Then they said sure! And after they left. Now Sayoko was the only one who left who didn't sing yet!
Kane said, "You are the only one who is left so will you sing?"
She replied, "ofc I will sing I am sure I sing well better than everyone here!". After that, she started looking at me and said I guess not everyone~, she became annoyed.
"I guess you should start singing instead of speaking don't you think so Yuki Kun?"
I said, "Of course instead of wasting everyone's time." Sayoko looked at me and punched me in the face.
she started singing and just like that one extra hour was over, a staff member came and told us that the time was over, we gave the extra money to the staff member and with that we left the karaoke. Kane and Haru went to their house so did Sayoko and me as we were neighbours. we were walking Sayoko asked, "What was the deal with you and Kane San?"
I replied what do you mean?
she said, "No you started calling her Kane" while being jealous.
"Ah, it was nothing I guess she wanted to permit me to call her Kane. See how everyone class her by her given name and not her family name?
"Well, I guess It's true after all and no one calls her".
And with that, we reached our home and I parted away with her and I went inside my home, just like that, the whole day was gone in a flash.
