13 Who Is She?
"Hey Aria! Aria!!?? Oiiii?~" Arlene has been trying to call out to Aria for a few minutes now but still, no reaction nor answer at all…
Arlene has finally decided to use another method for her to get noticed by Aria. She was trying not to use this to Aria but, there is no other choice. And to add more, She also want to tease Aria and see her reaction.
"Allen…" Arlene whispered towards Aria's ears with a very teasing voice…
Aria was startled and her face turn to the side where she heard Arlene and accidentally bumped her head to her…
"Ouch…." The two murmured and faced each other
"Hehe…So you really have a crush on Allen" Arlene said to Aria in a low voice
Those what Arlene said to her, made her flash in red and strongly deny it...
"No…-No way! I…Have a crush to nobody!" She strongly deny…
(So it is really true… What Jerry told us…) Arlene said in her mind
A few days ago, The three were having a secret discussion. They were at the Usual Arcade that they hang out all the time. Aria and Allen both went to the comfort room to pee for they are in sync thanks to the rings.
"Ugh…Those two are so slow at each other…Even tho, they both like each other…" Jerry said with a sigh in the end.
"Eh? Is that really true?" Arlene asked
"You didn't know?" Tom asked
"Well… I did know that Allen likes Aria but, I didn't know that Aria likes Allen too…" Arlene said
"Well, that's the problem… Aria seems to have not taken notice yet of her feeling for Allen…//Sigh//" Jerry said
"But how could you guys be sure?" Arlene asked
"Why don't we bet on it? Try doing this… If Aria was dozing off and her mind has really floated far away, Whisper in her ears, Allen's name. Like this." Jerry said as he instructed it to Arlene.
Arlene was a little embarrassed at that time and still feels embarrassed whenever she remembers that…
(It really did work…) Arlene said to herself inside her thoughts
"I've been calling out to you for a long time now…But you won't notice me at all…" Arlene said to Aria
"Sorry, Sorry…What is it?" Aria apologized
"I'm asking if you want to go to the new café that opened in the next street." Arlene said to her friend who seems to still a little bit not able to process anything on her mind.
"Sorry…I'll be busy that time…Being a class representative is a pain in the ass…" Aria answered
"I see… Too bad…" Arlene said as she put up a smile that still shows a little bit of disappointment
(After school)
Aria told the group to not wait for her anymore. She went to a meeting with other representatives…
Their school is very special for they only take one class representative and Aria just noticed it now after becoming one. She didn't pay that much attention before…
After the meeting, she went back to their class room to get her stuffs and saw Lea there again, taking a nap and listening to music…All alone…
Aria went towards Lea and tried to wake her up
"Hey…Lea, you better go home now… They will close the school soon…" Aria said
Aria took a while to wake Lea up… Lea is finally awake but still a little bit sleepy…
"What is it?" Lea asked while still being half asleep
"What is it…You asked?...You better go home now for they are going to close the school soon" Aria said
"I see…" Lea murmured and went back to sleep again
"Hey Lea!!! Don't go back to sleep again! They will close the school soon!..." Aria said as she shook Lea's shoulder to wake her up
Lea has finally woke up and they were able to leave the school before they closed it. Lea asked if Aria is free and if they could go and grab a snack. Aria said yes and the two went to a taco stand that Lea recommended.
They bought a taco and went to sit in a bench nearby… Lea started to ask Lea about something…
"About the guy named Tom…does he sing?" Lea asked out of the blue
(Huhh?...) Aria spoke inside her mind and Allen heard it
(What's the matter?) Allen asked using telepathy
(Allen does Tom sings?) Aria asked Allen
(I don't know. He is here, I'll just ask him) Allen said
-Allen and the group in the restaurant that they usually go too-
"Hey Tom! You sing?" Allen asked tom who was drinking a juice, and made him spit it…out of surprise
"Huh? //Cough Cough//What's with that//Cough//?? Out of the blue?//Cough Cough Cough //" Tom asked to Allen as he coughs
"Nothing, Just asking…cuz, I am good at singing and I want to sing with you." Allen said
Everyone has the same 'I don't give a f*ck' expression written all over their face.
"It's been long time now since Narcissistic Allen came out, Right?" Jerry said
Tom and Arlene nodded in response…
(Hey, Allen? Soo…What did he say?) Aria asked Allen using telepathy
"Ahem!!! So…Do you sing?" Allen asked Tom, Once again
Tom is an honest guy… He even plans to admit the truth without even hesitating or he just didn't care if they found out anyway… in fact, he even plans to brag it to tease and get back to Allen for all the narcissism he had done so far…
"Actually, I'm the number one singer in *XXX* Singing app. I got 6 million followers so far… and plus, I made a big amount of money with it!" Tom said to Allen as he winks to Jerry and Arlene
(Yep…He sings…) Allen said to Aria with the use of telepathy
(On the other hand- At the place where Aria and Lea is-)
"I think soo…" Aria answered to Lea
"I knew it! As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that it was him! I have been searching for him!" Lea said
"What's the matter Lea?" Aria asked Lea, confusedly
"Can you help me meet him?" Lea asks Aria
"Right…Now?..." Aria asked Lea and Lea nodded in response
(Allen, Your with Tom right? Where are you guys?) Aria asked to Allen, using telepathy
Allen said that they are in the usual restaurant.
(Got it. Order a popcorn for me ok? I'll pay for the other half later.)
(Ok…) Allen said and ordered a popcorn in the restaurant
The restaurant is just a few walks away, Aria leaded Lea to the restaurant for her to be able to meet Tom.
"Hey Guys! I'm able to catch up!" Aria happily said to the group.
Everyone warmly greeted Aria. Everyone stared at Lea, in wonder…
"Lea! Come! Have a seat" Arlene, kindly said to Lea
Lea ignored Arlene and just stared intensely at Tom… Arlene felt a little bit awkward and offended…
" 'Catz'…I've been looking for you for a long time now…" Lea said to Tom
Aria went towards where Allen is. Allen handed over the popcorn that he ordered, to Aria and watched Lea and Tom talk.
The two ate the popcorns as they watch Lea and Tom talk. They also talk using telepathy as they watch Lea and Tom.
(Could it be a girlfriend that Tom met online?) Aria asked to Allen
(I Found out that Tom is a famous singer…might be a stalker?) Allen answered
Arlene and Jerry went towards Allen and Aria to ask for some popcorns to eat as they watch Lea and Tom, talk.
"Uhmm…Who are you?..." Tom asked to Lea
"I'm 'Lily Ane' YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN" Lea introduced herself and suddenly sounded as if she is angry
Tom suddenly ran away as fast as he could in the rest room to hide but, He was sent off flying out for he accidentally wen on the lady's rest room.
Lea was outside the rest room and was able to catch Tom.
Later on, Tom and Lea returned to their table and in there, they explained the situation and their relationship.
Lea was the composer of all the songs that Tom sang in the singing app that he uses. Tom suddenly stopped singing because he decided to concentrate at school and because his parents told him to…But the truth is, he doesn't want to quit…
Lea decided to help Tom with the matter… And so, she asked to meet with Tom but, Tom doesn't want to tell where he lives and decided to block her… the only clue that Lea has is the town where Tom lives that was shown his profile and that, Tom is a high schooler just like her.
Ever since then, Lea has been transferring from school to school to find Tom…
Lea is devoted to this for after Tom blocked her, She received scouting and contract from an entertainment company that was proposing a job for them.
"What?..." Tom asked out of surprise… He felt a little bit of happiness inside his heart as he heard this wonderful news from Lea…
