Chapter One : The Tutor And The Repeater
POW!
BAM!
A blonde guy stood in front of a guy lying on his back.
A cigarette is pursed on his lips and two guys namely, Davis and Ken stood behind him.
"So, are you going to finish that guy off?" Davis asked.
"Go for it!" Ken said.
Yamato threw the cigarette off his mouth.
"Not today," he said, turning back and exiting the gym hall.
Taichi sat up.
"HEY! I'm not finished with you dork!" he shouted across the hall.
A bunch of highschool girls entered the gym hall.
Miyako, the leader, looked at Yamato interestingly.
"I guess I finally found the guy who passed my standards," Miyako told her friends.
In front of two younger students, Mimi wrote some English exercises for her tutees.
The bigger student bent his head slowly, as if he was looking at something under the table.
The smaller student leaned in.
"Is it pink? Or blue? I think it's pink."
"No, it's blue."
Mimi raised her gaze from the papers she was writing on to her tutees.
The students still continued to do their 'thing'.
She knew they were looking at 'something' since she was wearing a skirt.
Mimi slammed her palms on the table and stood up.
"That's it! I'm outta here!" she screamed, collected her things and left the room.
"I'm home!"
Yamato threw his jacket on the sofa and went upstairs.
His younger brother, TK, passed by him on the staircase.
It's as if they didn't know each other!
When Yamato arrived in front of his room, he saw her mother standing before her.
"I'm getting you another tutor," she said.
Yamato rolled his eyes.
"Yamato!" her mom raised her voice. "You've been repeating Senior highschool for two years! Your dad and I are so disappointed!"
"But mom," Yamato protested. "How many tutors have walked out from me just because they can't stand me? Seven?"
His mom sighed and shook her head.
"It's either you pass highschool this year or you have to go to military school!" she said and stormed off.
Yamato heaved a heavy sigh, shook his head and opened his bedroom door.
The sound of Mimi's motorcycle could be heard from outside.
She parked her motorcycle in front of 'Yuri's Poultry Shop' and entered it.
"Ma, I will never tutor again---never!" she exclaimed, throwing her buddy bag on a nearby table as she entered the shop.
Her mother, the owner of the shop, gave her a perplexed look.
"So where will you get your College tuition? You know that I can't lend you enough money!" her mother said.
"Name any job!" Mimi raised her brow proudly.
"Tutoring," her mother said.
"Huh?"
"An old College friend of mine asked me if I knew any tutor who could teach her two-time highschool repeater son…well, that woman is a very rich woman! She offers a large amount of money per session!" her mother said.
"Hey wait, if that guy repeated highschool two times…then…he is the same age as me?" Mimi asked.
Her mother nodded.
"Will you promise me that that guy is not a pervert?"
Her mother shrugged.
"I'm going to back out!" she said, turning on her heel to exit the shop.
"Large money means not only paying for your tuition but enough spare money to buy anything you want," her mother said calmly.
She turned back again, a glint of scheme in her eyes.
"Okay give me the address!" Mimi said.
Before her very eyes lies a big mansion, thrice as big as her and her mother's home!
She walked three steps backward to give the house a clearer look.
"Oh…my…god."
She put her hand on her lips. It's like a palace!
The gate opened.
A middle-aged man appeared.
"You must be Miss Mimi Tachikawa," the guy said. "Please come in, Mrs. Ishida expects you."
She patiently waited on the cushy sofa, sipping the cup of coffee the man offered.
She looked around. It is a palace.
Well, mansion to be exact.
"You must be Yoko's daughter," an elder woman, looking too elegant from her age, appeared.
She nodded quickly, putting the coffee back to its place on the center table.
"I'm sure you already know why you're here," Mrs. Ishida said straight to the point, sitting down next to her.
"Yup," she said.
"Well, you will meet up with my son every Tuesday and Thursday, 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM for a service fee of Y700 per session," Mrs. Ishida explained.
Her jaw dropped. For a week, she'd be able to earn Y1400!
Mrs. Ishida stared at her.
"Is something wrong?"
Mimi snapped back to reality and shook her head quickly.
"You can start now but he's still not home," she said. "Just proceed upstairs and the last room on the left wing is his room. He'll be here in any minute."
Mimi nodded, smiled at her and bowed.
When she arrived in front of the staircase, she saw a younger guy go down from the staircase.
"Another tutor?"
Mimi stared at him.
"Huh? Well, yeah…" she said.
"Be careful with Yamato," he warned and walked away.
Mimi let out a short giggle and raised her brow.
Let's see.
"Okay, last room on the left wing," she said.
She twisted the knob and opened the door.
Her jaw dropped.
His room is equivalent to two College classrooms!
She entered the room and examined it.
"He got his own bathroom and refrigerator in here!" she exclaimed.
Mimi found a big mirror placed across the wall and looked at her reflection.
"Hi, I'm Mimi Tachikawa, your new tutor," she said, extending her hand to an imaginary person.
Suddenly, the door clicked open.
"Hey, who are you?"
a/n : Ahem, so that was Chapter One. Have you seen this film? Well I didn't adapt the whole film. I changed A LOT of scenes here but the thought of the scenarios are still there…R&R!
