Chapter 9- Suzuka and Yui
"That's it Suzuka." Reina sighed. Suzuka stood across from her with a nonchalant expression. "You are failing your classes. I'm finished being patient. If you don't pass this next test, you aren't going with us to Shawn's job tomorrow."
"What!" Suzuka shouted, she swung a right hook right into the wall right next to Kaneko. Kaneko jumped and hid behind Yui holding her bear in a tighter embrace. "You can't do that! I'm supposed to be performing with her!"
"Well, that's too bad." Reina replied curtly. "If you can't get your grades up You aren't going. If you need help, ask Yui." Then she turned and walked out of the room. Kaneko followed after a fearful glance at Suzuka, Lyra and Ayano followed, and Shawn left after whispering something to Suzuka. Suzuka fell onto the couch, with her bangs covering her eyes.
"Suzuka?" Yui asked hesitantly.
"Yeah what." Suzuka snapped. Yui flinched and Suzuka's harsh glare softend. "Sorry. Shawn and I were really excited for this performance."
"Yeah." Yui nodded.
Shawn had a job at as a DJ at a club. Sometimes she would ask the sisters to perform with her on stage. Ayano and Kaneko had performed and it was Suzuka's turn. However, Reina would only let them go if the sisters grades were high enough. Because Suzuka would skip class, she didn't reach the expectations that Reina had set. The only way to go was to ace the test that was coming up.
"Okay," Yui took a deep breath. "Let's get started."
"Wow Suzuka," Yui stared as Suzuka finished the last problems on the paper. The two of them had been at it for five hours. "You knew every answer. So why didn't you get a good grade."
"Because I don't care." Suzuka answered. " I don't show up because It's pointless. And if I keep my standards low, I get away with more."
Yui nodded. "That does make sense. So do you think you can pass this test?"
"Yes."
Both girls turned to the door as it opened. Christa walked in quietly humming a tune.
"Christa!" Yui jumped up and ran over to greet the white haired woman.
"Hello Yui." Christa smiled. "How is the torturing coming along?"
"How did you?"
"I am a teacher."
"Oh." Yui became embarrassed at Christa's answer. Suzuka walked up.
"Hi Christa." Suzuka waved.
"Hello Suzuka." Christa smiled. "I hope you get a good grade."
"Thanks." Then Suzuka asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm going back to the Sakamaki house for a while."
"Why?" Yui asked. "I thought you hated that tower."
"I do." Christa explained. "But, if Subaru found out I was gone, how would he react?"
Yui and Suzuka nodded. "Okay. Bye Christa."
"Tell the other girls I said goodbye." Then Christa walked out and closed the door behind her.
"So how was it Suzuka?" Yui asked after school the next day. The girls were all riding home so Suzuka could tell them if she would perform. Nobody wanted to miss it.
"Here." Suzuka pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to Reina.
"Lets see...100...97...89...99...and...100." Reina muttered. "Okay. We're going." Reina looked at the other sisters. Even though she kept it hidden, Yui could tell Reina was excited,too.
"So when are we going?" Yui asked.
"A week from now." Shawn answered. "Enough time to practice."
"Okay." Yui nodded.
"And it's enough time for you to practice, Yui." Suzuka smirked.
"What!" Yui shouted in surprise.
