Beauty and The Beast

         After school, I hurriedly packing my bags and quickly run back to the dorm. I was worried about Aria. She was trembling really bad, it’s like she saw something that is terrifying. I forgot that her persona can see someone’s future. She must have seen something, she must have. Finally I arrived at the dorm, when I open the door. I saw Aria on the dining table eating my cooking that I cook for her.

        “Haa..haa..haa..Aria…” I said catching my breath after running so fast

        “Minako…what’s wrong?” she said surprised to see me so coming back early

        “I…*breathe* I was worried... you suddenly fall down like that and you trembling really badly.” I said reminding what happen today

        “Oh…well…” Aria hesitate to tell the whole story

        “You saw something…isn’t it? I’m sorry…I should have realize it earlier.” I said walking towards her

        “Well…I still can’t talk about it right now Minako…It’s kinda complicated…” she replied with her sad face “I’m still in progress on discovering what Eithodea saw. Its chill me out…but…you don’t have to worry. I’m sorry for making you worried Minako. But I’m alright now after taking a bit nap. But I promise you I will tell straight away after I’ve found my answer.” She said smiling when I’m already right beside her

        “…alright…still I’m sorry… I completely forgot about Eithodae’s ability…please tell me if you encounter another dream. Alright?” I said felt relief that she’s alright.

        “Sure! I will and don’t feel sorry…beside…I saw another one and it’s you.” She said smiling

        “Huh? What did you see?” I said curiously want to know

        “*giggle* you…like…him! Don’t you?” She said smile at me

        “H-Huh!? Uhmmm…w-what you mean?” I said looking away quickly with my face red

        “Come on…don’t hide things from me…I know you like him! Awww~ cute minako hahaha” She said tease me making me even more red

        “S-shuddup…” I said my face turn all red

        “Oh speak of the devil, here he is.” Aria said “Shinjiro-senpai! Hello”    

       

        I surprised suddenly she called out Shinjiro-senpai, I thought she was playing but when I turn my head. He was really there! My face was really red…I can’t show my red face to him! Oh my…how am I going to cover this up! Dammit Aria…I’ll make you pay for this!

       “Hey..” he replied

       “Psst! Minako” Aria whispered “Go and ask him to go eat together with you. I don’t say this because I want you two to be together but I’m just saying that, you’re the leader…maybe you should be friendlier with him.”

       “Do you…think that I can fall for that?” I said glare “I know what you planning!”

       “Man she’s a sharp one…” she said whispered in her heart “Oh come on just go already. I’m not that kind of person. Just go!!”

       She suddenly smack me on the back and make my body move forward towards the lounge. Shinjiro-senpai is sitting on the sofa while changing channels on the TV. I bravely step forwards and finally call out senpai’s name.

       “Uhmm…hey senpai…” I said with my hand behind my back

       “…yeah? You want something?” he said turning his towards me

       “Uhmm…I was wondering if you want to go for a bite with me?” I said my heart pumping really fast

       “…What, with me? Okay…” he said surprised by my offer “Where you want to eat?”

       “Anywhere…it’s fine. Up to you.” I said letting him to do the choices

       “Well, I don’t know any fancy places, though.” He said switching off the TV and stand up “Let’s get going”

       “Ah! Right.” I said following behind him to the door.

        Meanwhile, Aria was planning an evil plan. Her reason is she wants to stalk me and Shinjiro. She wanted to see how our relationship is going. Suddenly Akihiko-senpai came in. 

 

        “*sigh* finally arrived home. Girls at school so creepy…” Akihiko said tired being the most popular guy in school while suddenly saw Aria staring at him smiling “Oh! Aria…how are you doing?”

        “I’m fine” She replied still with a smile on her face “Senpai…”

        “Y-Yes?” Akihiko said suddenly felt an uneasy feeling

        “You’re…not busy right?” she said standing in front on Akihiko senpai with her smiley face

        “N-No…why?” he said

        “Good!...” she said suddenly grab Akihiko’s hand and ran straight to Iwatodai’s station

        “W-wait! Aria! Where are we going!?” Akihiko said being force drag by Aria

        “We’re going to see two love birds on their way to make a relationship! I must not miss this moment! Ohohohoho~” She replied ran as fast as she can while holding Akihiko’s hand

        “W-What!? B-But why MEEEEEEEE!?” Akihiko scream

         A few minutes later, at Iwatodai station, me and Shinjiro-senpai went to Hagakure to eat dinner together. We both went in and took a sit facing the chef who make’s the best ramen noodles ever. Meanwhile,…

 

         “Target lock in, both ordered regular ramen and also they sit side by side together. Oh the feeling…!” Aria said stalking both me and Shinjiro

         “*sigh* Why I always ended up in this kind of situation…”Akihiko sighed depress

         “Because you’re the only one I can rely on. Beside Shinjiro-senpai is your best pal right. You should be happy that she goes out with girls like Minako. His been sitting alone and not even talking to us like putting a no entry sign.” Aria said talk slowly while observing our action

        “Well you’re right, this is unusual for him to be out with girls. Also yesterday he went out with Minako too. I was curious but now it’s the perfect chance to stalk them.” Akihiko said finally agreeing on stalking both of us.

        “Good! Now be quiet I want to hear what they are talking…” Aria said observing

        Me and senpai were very awkward, we didn’t open our mouth at all. Then, senpai finally open his mouth after our meal been served.

        “Sorry for bringing you here. I don’t know that many places to go out to eat.” He said feeling sorry for bringing me to Hagakure

        “Uhmm, no it’s okay. I like this place. The ramen is really delicious.” I said smiling after taking my chopsticks.

        “*smile*…You’re an odd one.” Shinjiro said laugh a little “Well let’s eat”

        “Thank you for the meal” I said joining both of my hands and its chow time

          

        “Eeeeeeee, OMG! Shinjiro-senpai smile!” Aria said whispering but can’t help herself screaming a bit

       “Shhh! You’re gonna blow our cover.” Akihiko said stop her from screaming

       “Watch the soup, it’s hot. Phoooooo…”He said blowing his soup and take sip “Ow…”

       “What’s wrong?” I said curious

       “…Forgot I had a cut in my mouth. It’s cause Aki punched me” He said still hurt

       “……………”Aria silent glaring at Akihiko

       “W-What!?” Akihiko said look away

       “Sheesh, that guy’s gotta learn how frickin’ heavy a boxing champ punches…”Shijiro said annoyed

        

       “He’s right…” Aria said glare at Akihiko

      “Why are you blaming it on me for? It’s his fault!” Akihiko said 

       “Ouch…that’s gotta hurt. Were you two fighting?” I said while putting the ramen into my mouth.

       “Well… yeah” Shinjiro said felt a bit awkward “…I gave him a little “lecture” on how his fighting style’s too reckless, and this is want I got in return. Well, we get in fights all the time. Just get used to it.” He said smiling recalling back his old days with Akihiko senpai

        “Seriously…you punched him in the face just about that!?” Aria said about to shout

       “Ah~ Shhh!! I told you to keep quiet! You’re gonna get us both in troubled” Akihiko said again covering Aria’s mouth

        “All right, I hope that cut heal soon.” I said smiled back at him

        “Yeah, thanks.” Shinjiro said look slightly embarrassed and laughs “But man, you’re actually younger than him…?”

        “Uhmmm…” I said out of words

        “….” He silent “We’re lucky that you’re such a reliable leader.” He said smiling

        For some reason I felt like his mocking me but I can sense that he’s being serious. I feel like I understand him a little. He finally show’s his true self. I’m so lucky!

        “…Oww…That reminds me… I cut the inside of my mouth the first time he punched me, too. I couldn’t eat for a while because of that” He said smiling warmly

        “….senpai you…love destroyer…”Aria said again glared at Akihiko

       “W-Why are you calling me that for!? At least I make them talk!” Akihiko yelled but with a low voice.

       “When did that happen!?” I said surprised

       “…We were kids. I forgot why” Shinjiro said laugh nostalgically

       I laughed with him while enjoying my food. Then he sighs saying that he can’t eat it well. He waited for a while to cool it down. We talk about various things, while waiting for Shinjiro-senpai to finish eating. It was so fun, I finally able to see the real Shinjiro-senpai. I told him if we could hang out sometime. He agreed on it, I was so happy! I’m looking forward for his request.  Then senpai pays the bill and we both went back to the dorm together.

        “*gasp* he finally laughs! Omg! Those two are like Beauty and The beast!”*squel*” Aria said feel so happy seeing us both

        “Beauty and the Beast?” Akihiko whispered

        “Yeah…Minako is like Bell the beauty in the story and Shinjiro-senpai is like The beast...well in human form of course. In the story, the beast is actually a disrespectful prince that been cursed by an old lady and changed him into a beast. The curse can only be lifted if it works of true love. So this girl name Bell came in and been trapped inside the castle where she makes a deal with the beast to let go of her father in exchanged she have to stay with the Beast forever. But, because she stayed long and she’s been friendly with the beast and also his people. The beast began to fall in love with Bell.” Aria said explain to Akihiko why me and Shinjiro are like in the story

          “But…what does the story have to do with the both of them?” Akihiko question still didn’t get it

          “Well, the beast been leaving alone in the darkness ever since he got the curse then suddenly when Bell came to his life everything changes. It’s like Bell give’s hope to beast and pull him out of the darkness. Just like Minako and Shinjiro, Shinjiro been leaving in the dark that makes him don’t want to have any relation or whatsoever except you. But now, when Minako appeared into his life, he started to show his true self to her. But if they keep’s up like this, there must be a chance for Shinjiro to be able to get along with others. Minako is Shinjiro hope to move forward. Oooh~ they look so good together! “ Aria said feel so happy after their operation stalking me and Shinjiro complete

           They both also went back to the dorm together

          “Hope…huh…” Akihiko said mumbling something

          “Hm? Did you say something?” Aria said

          “Oh nothing…I didn’t say a thing” Akihiko said embarrassed

          “But…you know…I’m happy that I met you senpai.” Aria said smiling “I dunno why, but for some reason…you’re my hope.”

          “W-What…are you saying!?” Akihiko said suddenly his face turn red

          “*giggle* I’m just saying…because it’s the truth. You’re the only person I can rely on when I need help with something. Like just now stalking and accompany me to the hospital to visit Minako-chan. Thank’s senpai” Aria said smilling warmly

          “…W-Welcome. I told you both, I’ll be there if you guys need me. So..yeah..” Akihiko said look away embarrassed yet feels happy

          Both of them laugh, after they arrived to the dorm. Me and Shinjiro were waiting for them at the lounge. Both of us heard from Koromaru when Aigis said that they gone out to stalk me and Shinjiro. Aria and Akihiko got lectured by us both at the end. But they didn’t feel disappointed because they got to see what they want to see. They promise they won’t do it again after that.
