Can you Sing for Me? (MiMo)

Charter 2 [1/3]

Momo slurped her orange juice, fidgeting with straw. She leaned an elbow and put chin on palm. She was sitting in Food Court of shopping mall with Jeongyeon on her right while Tzuyu on left. They were sitting there for half an hour now, looking over people before them.

Jeongyeon emptied her glass, wiping her mouth with tissue before turning to her new friends.

"So, got something?"

"Boring," Momo replied.

"Got what?" Tzuyu asked, frowned.

Jeongyeon sighed. "Did you get something, learn something from those guys? What do you think we're doing here?"

"Resting," Momo and Tzuyu answered at once.

"We're not resting here," Jeongyeon said. She grabbed Momo's last piece of jokbal before the girl could eat it up. Momo was about to stab the girl hand for eating her precious jokbal.

"We sit here for doing observation."

"Observation?"

"Yes, observation. Because from now on we need to act like a guy. Sit, talk, walk, eat, drink, everything," Jeongyeon emphasized her word. "So, stop eating and drinking, open your eyes," she said, putting both hands up beside her head, pointing out. "...and watch."

Momo glanced at Tzuyu and reluctantly followed Jeongyeon's gaze. Yes, they had decided to enter St. Mary's Academy as boy student.

Flashback

"What do you mean we dress up as boy?" Momo asked. Tzuyu nodded beside her, still confused.

"We can't be student of two schools at same time, you did say that," Jeongyeon said to Tzuyu and continued. "You can't leave your school either because your parents won't allow you. So, he said we need new identity."

"But...why boy? Why do we need to disguise?" Momo inquired.

"Yeah," Tzuyu said in agreement. "We can still attend the school as girl."

"And take a risk someone will recognize us?" Jeongyeon said. "You see, even if you change your name but without your appearance you're still Chou Tzuyu." She pointed a finger out at Tzuyu and then at Momo. "Hirai Momo." And brought it to her chest. "And Yoo Jeongyeon. So, he said we must disguise as boy."

After a moment Tzuyu finally said. "As crazy as the plan really is but you have the point."

"Unless you think to give up your dream and spend your ordinary high school life, I will tell him," Jeongyeon said, pretending to make a call.

Momo let out a groan of frustration before giving in. "Alright, alright, I'm in. But seriously this is crazy. I mean dress as a boy. What if someone catches us?"

"Says the tomboyish girl," Jeongyeon said under her breath and quickly cleared her throat, putting a wide grin over her face.

"Don't worry for the latter."

This morning Jeongyeon came to her house and dragged her out for shopping. And now after shopping for everything they would need for their disguise: wigs, boys clothes, shoes, even underwear (Jeongyeon insisted), Jeongyeon took them to Food Court for she had just found out doing an observation. She eyed over the youth but didn't really look at anyone. She was fully aware that she wasn't girly but it didn't mean she liked to act as a boy either. On the contrary, she didn't like boy charming- they thought -one-sided smile, or look-at-me group talk or laughter, or heel-off-ground walk. It made her roll her eyes.
