Chapter Two

“How could that girl leave?” Narumi yelled and tried not to throw things around the room.

“Calm down,” Ochiai said, and turned back to his laptop.

Kei shifted nervously in his chair at the computer and grabbed a bag of chips and began eating.

Suddenly a window popped up.

Redhaireddevil has just signed on

Kei quickly signed on also and waited for Jia to type a message to him.

Redhaireddevil: I thought you said you could arrange that I would never be a SP!

Munchmunch2000: I’m sorry! I didn’t know!

Redhaireddevil: Yeah...right

Munchmunch2000: It’s true!

Redhaireddevil: Okay. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how annoyed is Naru-Naru?

Munchmunch2000: 11

Redhaireddevil: Good. He’s too pompous for his own good. In America he would have been given a swirly already

Kei began to laugh and that caught the attention of the other S.P. members.

“What are you doing?” Narumi asked.

“Nothing just read something funny,” Kei said quickly, and tried to cover up the computer screen.

Ochiai and Narumi exchanged glances and then attacked Kei.

Ochiai held Kei to the chair while Narumi read the conversation.

“I am not pompous!” he shouted and turned on Kei, “Who is this!”

Kei shrugged, “I dunno.”

“Maybe it’s your girlfriend?” Narumi said.

“Yeah right, I’ve known-“

Kei cut himself off, “You won’t be able to get it out of me.”

The computer pinged signaling that there was another message.

Redhaireddevil: You still there? Or did you fall asleep?

Narumi smiled evilly, “I’ll just ask her how to spell her name. You’re probably stupid enough to forget how to spell it.”

“I’m not stupid!”

“You got a 25 on the last spelling test,” Ochiai said.

Kei crossed his arms and muttered under his breath.

Redhaireddevil: hhhhheeeeelllllllllooooo!! KEI! WHERE ARE YOU!

“So on first name basis, uh,” Narumi said.

“It’s not like that!” Kei yelled.

Munchmunch2000: I’m here. So how do you spell your name? I forgot.

“It won’t work, Naru-chan,” Kei said.

“Quiet.”

Redhaireddevil: Hello Narumi.

Munchmunch2000: What are you talking about? I’m Kei.

Redhaireddevil: I’ve known Kei since we were babies. Even he would know how to spell my name by know.

Munchmunch2000: Who are you?

Redhaireddevil: Not tellin’

Narumi turned on Kei, “Who is she?”

Kei was silent.

Munchmunch2000: Do you go to our school?

Redhaireddevil: I’m in your class, dummy.

Munchmunch2000: I AM NOT A DUMMY!

Redhaireddevil: Are 2. Don’t worry, I won’t take you never noticing me personally. Most people don’t.

Ochiai pushed Narumi out of the way and began typing a message.

Munchmunch2000: If we guess who you are will you tell us?

Redhaireddevil: I suppose, Ochiai.

Kei smiled, “She’s smart to be able to figure out who is messaging just by the writing.”

Narumi glared at him and Kei went back to eating.

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: Do we know your name?

Redhaireddevil: yup

Munchmunch2000: Narumi: How long have you been in my class?

Redhaireddevil: since the beginning of the year

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: Do you have red hair?

Redhaireddevil: why do you ask?

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: Screen name.

Redhaireddevil: yes I do.

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: Have we talked to you before? Have we seen you?

Redhaireddevil: Not really and yes

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: How come we didn’t know about yours and Kei’s friendship?

Redhaireddevil: I haven’t been around for a couple of years and I didn’t want girls coming up to me asking to be the next SP

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: Have you been going to another school?

Redhaireddevil: yeah

Munchmunch2000: Narumi: WHERE!?

Redhaireddevil: Guess

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: Was it in Japan?

Redhaireddevil: No

Ochiai smiled suddenly.

“I know that smile,” Narumi said excitedly, “You figured it out.”

Kei gulped nervously,” Did…Did you?”

“Yes.”

Munchmunch2000: Ochiai: You are Jia Arai. The red haired girl from today, you transferred from America, second year.

Redhaireddevil: …yes…
