The Great Disguise (Chapter Four)

The Great Disguise [HSJ Fanfic]

Chapter 4

Sawako’s New Friends

It was already 7:00 P.M. Kirari Haato Maid Café will now close…

Saki and I changed to our normal clothes. I attached all my disguises again. The shop owner, Risako-san said, “Good work today girls!” Both of us replied, “Arigato Risako-san!”

Risako-san, the owner of this shop, is not that old. She’s just 19 years old and she already owns a shop. Amazing isn’t it?

Saki and I parted our ways. I rode the bus towards the Nakajima Mansion.

Then I arrived. The gates opened immediately. Maybe it has this D.N.A. identification thing, or maybe I’m imagining very impossible things.

As soon as I opened the front door, I heard someone say in a loud voice, “Otou-san! Living with a girl is impossible!”

I opened the door and I saw a young boy and a tall boy talking to oji-san. Oji-san said, “Oi oi, you should show respect. She’s here.” The two sons of oji-san looked back. The tall guy is familiar. They finally faced me. My intuition was right. He is my classmate and seatmate, Nakajima Yuto…

Yuto exclaimed, “EEHH? Hayashi?”

The little boy said, “What an ugly old woman.”

I thought, “What the heck was that for? Am I really old?!”

I added, “Oji-san, if I’m not welcome here, I will just go back to our apartment.”

Oji-san replied, “Don’t mind these two boys over here, Sawako. I just prepared dinner for the four of us.”

The food was really exquisite. I bet Oji-san is a very good cook. During the dinner, he was the one who did most of the talking.

He said, “Ah, so the two of you are classmates. I bet you already know each other.”

Raiya said, “Onii-chan wouldn’t like an ugly old woman like her.”

Oji-san replied, “Don’t be rude Raiya. Now say sorry to your Sawako onee-san.”

Raiya bowed down and said in an unwilling voice, “Gomene Onee-san.”

Oji-san said, “Yuto, you seem to be very quiet.”

Yuto looked at his dad and said, “It’s nothing oji.”

After we ate our dinner, I climbed up the stairs. I still perfectly remember where my room was.

Suddenly, someone pulled me and covered my mouth. I tried to apply force to escape.

I screamed, “Let me go!”

I couldn’t match my force to his. He was too strong. He continued to pull me until we arrived in a room.

He finally let go of me. The person was Yuto. I rushed to the door and it was locked.

I commanded him to let me out and exclaimed, “What do you think you’re doing, pervert?!”

He released a sly smile and said, “Do you think I’m going to do something to you? I just brought you here to discuss a few things.”

I replied, “You brought me in this room through covering my mouth and pulling me forcibly. Who would think that your intentions are good?”

He said, “Sorry for that. I just want to say to keep this as a secret. If the people in the school will know that we are living under one roof, it would cause a lot of trouble.”

I replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t even talk about my address or anything.” Yuto replied, “Good. You may go now.”

I quickly ran to the door, but I don’t have the keys. I turned to him. He handed the keys and grinned at me. I quickly grabbed the keys from him and went out of that room.

I thought, “What was that for?”

Now I have two secrets to keep: my job and my living conditions.

I went inside my room, panting. I have my own CR in my room so I went to take a bath. Today was really tough. Going to a new school and adjusting in a new environment. To top that off, living in the mansion that turns out to be your popular male classmate’s property would be a shock to anyone.

I thought, “Was he really my childhood friend? It’s really hard to believe…”

After taking a bath, I took my trip to dreamland. We have no homework for today…

Morning came… It’s my second day of school

I quickly rose up from my bed. I took a bath and wore my props. I went out of my room and went to the kitchen. It’s still early. Everyone was still asleep.

I decided to prepare something for breakfast. I’m not really a good cook, so I just prepared Blueberry Pancakes. I’m all done eating, so I left the house.

As soon as I arrived in school, I went to the library immediately. I read the book, “Tuesdays with Morrie.” Without noticing it, I only have fifteen minutes left. I returned the book to the shelf and proceeded to my classroom.

Almost everyone was there. I went to my seat. Yuto was already sitting in his seat. He’s talking with the boys. We had eye contact for about five seconds. Arioka noticed it. He asked, “What’s wrong with the two of you?”

I, coming back to my senses said, “Oh, it’s really nothing…”

Yuto added, “Yeah, nothing is wrong.”

Daiki said, “Oh.”

I sat down in my seat.

Mika and Hana approached me again. They asked, “Hayashi-san! You’re free for today?”

I replied, “Yes, I think so…”

Classes started. Yuto handed a small piece of paper to me. I read it. The words written were, “I’m going home early today. I’ll tell otou-san that you’re going to a restaurant with Ootori and Yamamura.” I looked at him and nodded.

I thought to myself, “Why does he even bother to care? He doesn’t even want me inside his house. Oh wait, I better listen to my lessons first…”

DISSMISSAL TIME…

As what I’ve promised, I went with Mika and Hana. Mika said, “Hayashi-san! I’m glad that you are able to come with us!” Hana added, “Yes! The cakes in that shop are the best! The tea is really good too!”

I just wondered, why would these two pretty and rich girls like to hang out with me?

We reached the cake shop that they were talking about. It was all pink and frilly. It was very girly. We went inside and sat on one of the tables.

We ordered some delicious looking cakes and teas.

While waiting for our order, I asked them, “I was just wondering, why would you like to hang out with me?”

Hana answered, “Simple, you’ve got ‘it’.”

I replied, “I’m sorry, but I don’t understand…”

Mika said, “Our innermost instinct tells that we will get along with each other perfectly.”

Hana added, “From now on, can we call you Sawako-chan?”

I, feeling very overwhelmed, nodded. No one ever befriended me since I had all my disguises.

I said, “But, aren’t you worried of what people may think of you if you hang out with someone like me?”

Mika said, “We don’t care about our popularity at all. We do what is right and what pleases us.”

Hana added, “If you have some problems, don’t hesitate to tell us. Besides, I noticed that our friend, Yama-chan, is quite interested in you.” I exclaimed in surprise, “Yama-chan? Do you mean, Yamada Ryosuke?”

Mika released a naughty smile and said, “Yes, I can really tell because I’ve been together with him since we were five years old!”

I said, “Maybe you’re mistaken. He couldn’t possibly like me.” Hana said, “Let’s just observe and confirm it…”

After eating the cakes and drinking the tea, we went home. It was quite dark already.

Mika said, “Do you want us to walk you home?” I said, “Ah, I can manage by myself. By the way, thanks for today…”

I walked all my way to the Nakajima Mansion… No one must know about my residence…

The gates opened and I entered the mansion…

I heard Yuto said, “Oto-san! You can’t go to New York now!”
