Royal Academy

The twins patted her head and saw that Tai had walked over to the refreshment stand and was speaking to Soul in whispers.
 
Meroko pointed to Jessica.


"Why dont you guys go cheer her up. She hasn't been really fitting in very well." She said.
 
Lau and Lou nodded before walking over to Jessica. Charles sat next to Meroko and smirked,"Why won't you dance with me?",he questioned.
 
Jessica looked up and smiled weakly at the two


"Hi..."


Meroko giggled


"You never asked."
 
"Why aren't ya dancing,girly?",Lou asked as the twins leaned on either side of her.


Charles shrugged,"Didn't think I would need to ask since you were sitting down by yourself".
 
Jessica sighed and rubbed the back of her neck.


"Im not much of a dancer..."


Meroko raised an eyebrow at Charles.


"You always ask a lady to dance."
 
The twins nodded and then began to talk to her about the various scandals and rumors about all the students and teachers of the school.


Charles rolled his eyes,"Why be so traditional?",he questioned,"Waiting for someone else to ask you to dance?".
 
Jessica giggled and laughed as the twins told her all about the school. They were so kind and funny. It was very refreshing.


Meroko sighed and shrugged.
 
"The biggest scandal that continues to live on",Lou began. "Is the Tai Kaneko and Mika Tahara Scandal",Lau ended.
 
Jessica raised an eyebrow


"Isn't Tai Kaneko engaged to Meroko Fugiyama?"
 
"Nobody ever said that Tai proposed to Meroko",Lou stated,"It's an arranged marriage. Tai's first love is a beautiful,graceful Japanese Princess named Mika Tahara. You haven't met her because she got into an accident a couple of years ago and was in a coma,she woke up recently". Lau nodded,"In fact,Tai and her were going to get married,but after the coma incident,her parents were too mournful to even speak to anyone",he continued,"Yet...Mr and Mrs.Kaneko would only allow Tai to marry someone whom he loves". Lou frowned,"Someone told them a lie that Meroko is Tai's girlfriend and the engagement was set",he looked confused,"Haven't you seen how Tai distances himself from Meroko?". Lau nodded,"He actually didn't know who Meroko was until his parents introduced her to him as his fiancee...let me tell you,Tai was pissed off". Lou nodded,"But...there is actually a rumor that Tai has been in contact with Mika since she woke up,he's going to visit her during the break and then there is another rumor that she will be returning to Royal Academy". Lau and Lou both sighed dramatically,"We wonder how this will end".


Tai sighed and leaned against the wall,taking a break from all the dancing. Soul had been pulled onto the dance floor by Lilly and Jung Hwa and Ai Min were talking about their wedding.
 
Jessica nodded and shook her head.


"Thats awful.....but...." She glanced over at Meroko "I can't help but feel bad for the poor girl. She obviously has feelings for Tai....I mean I totally get where Tai's coming from, but he could at least be a little nicer to the poor girl. I mean she was forced into the marriage too."
 
The twins shrugged. "Rumors are going around that Meroko had lied to Tai's parents,but we don't believe that. The girl is too shy to even speak to his parents properly",Lou stated. "But...there's a whisper that it was her grandmother who lied to Tai's parents because she saw how much Meroko likes Tai",Lau whispered.


Hime walked over to Meroko and smiled,"Hello",she said as she sat down with her.
 
Jessica sighed and chuckled to herself


"That sounds like something my grandmother would do....she's always trying to set me up with weirdos."


Meroko smiled weakly at Hime


"Hello Hime."
 
Jessica smiled at the two


"So what about you guys? Any girls you've got your eyes on?"


Meroko shrugged


"I guess.."
 
"Nope",the twins said,popping the 'p'. Lou sighed,"If a girl can tell us apart then maybe she'll have a chance",he stated. Lau nodded,"None have passed the test so far".


Hime frowned,"Your sadness is inevitable,what is wrong?",she questioned.
 
Jessica giggled


"You two sound like HIkaru and Kaoru from Ouran Highschool Host club." Jessica pointed to Kiki who was giggling and laughing with her sister "I bet she could tell you two apart."


Meroko sighed


"I won't burden you with my problems Hime. Its just best not to ask."
 
The twins laughed,"Well...there have been many people who have said that within our group of friends,we all resemble some kind of anime character". Lou shrugged,"Very few can tell us apart...see,I would have gone out with Ae Cha but she's marrying Kenji". Lau smirked,"And then he decided to get closer to Hyorin who likes Soul",he stated. "Besides that",Lou chuckled,"What about you,Lau? No gal?". Lau shook his head,"No...my thinking is the same as yours,except I actually was thinking about BoA-Noona". Lou smiled brightly,"Ah!!! BoA-Noona is so beautiful...it sucks that she's a Senior",he sighed and held his heart. "Noona...",they breathed out with happiness.


Hime gently patted Meroko's shoulder,"It's about the marriage again",she sighed and smiled at her,"Care to rant?".
 
Jessica giggled and gestured to Kiki once more


"Come on Lau, give it a go."


Meroko shook her head


"I don't want to burden you."
 
Lau shrugged,"I still like BoA-Noona",he breathed out,"Sucks that she's not only a Senior...but her parents are arranging her to marry someone",he muttered bitterly.


Hime smiled,"Burden? I am never burden by much",she stated
 
Jessica sighed


"I never understood the whole, "arranged marriage" thing. Its so......so......weird...."


Meroko sighed and shook her head.
 
"A lot of students are being arranged for marriage",Lou stated. "Let's see...there's Ae Cha and Kenji,Tai and Meroko,Victor and Hime,Ai Min and Jung Hwa,Bae and Kenna,Chin Ho and Kyomi,Kyung-Mi and Samuel,TingZhe and Chun Hei",Lau said and then laughed,"Even Mr and Mrs.Eu Min are trying to put Soul into an arranged marriage".


Hime nodded and gently rubbed Meroko's back.
