Twenty Five: MFL
Why does this suck?
"Maybe we should start thinking about our own futures." Ami-chan says from her place on Fubuki and Kaito's bunk beds. They share their dorm with Hinata and Sho. It's incredible how many high school students you can fit in a dorm of this size. Everybody's in here! Me, Mei-chan, Ami-chan, Hika-chan, Hinata, Sho, Tanaka Kenta, Nito', Fubuki and Kaito. How are we not all cramped together! It's so weird how ten of us fit in here with enough space for Mori Aka or any of the other girls.
"That would be wise." Sho agrees, pushing up his glasses.
"Anybody actually know what they want to do?" Kenta asks.
"Well I want to go into photography. I've been taking photos of natural stuff and taking advantage of Aoi-chan's photo obsession to get practise." Mei-chan smiles widely.
"You're not chasing swimming like Sei-san?" Kaito asks.
"I'll swim, no way a Mikoshiba could quit that... but a girl's got to have a plan!" Mei explains.
"Ami-chan?" Kaito looks to the Mikoshiba for all intensive purposes.
"I like helping animals, I used to help out at the animal shelter but...I want to swim!" the redhead declares. Mei-chan puts her arm around her best friend.
"We'll swim together on the Olympic stage someday." she giggles.
"Sounds like a plan." Ami-chan grins.
"Since you're asking." Fubuki jabs Kaito, who is sat beside him on the top bunk. "What's your plan?"
"I want to be a professional public speaker!" Kaito gives her boyfriend of late a shove.
"What?" Fubukii blinks.
"He's kidding, Fubu'." Hinata laughs.
"I honestly haven't a clue." Kaito says. "I'm good at sciences and stuff but...I think my passion is water based."
"Why not do both? There are combo jobs. Physical therpaists. Aqua physical therapists." Fubuki gives his curreny boyfriend a hug.
"I guess..."
"That seems good for you, Kai'!" Sho chimes.
"The title suits you too!" Nito' beams.
"We get that it's a rndom suggestion but still, it seems really....Kaito." Kenta adds.
"I guess..."
With that we all shift slowly away from Kaito, giving him space. He's still akward in crowds.
"Well we all know what Aoi wants!" Mei-chan grins.
"I think people ought to know your story Aoi."
"Huh?" I cock a brow, looking at Hika-chan.
"You have so much depth. People get the wrong idea about your motives a lot."
"Yuma still does."
"And Kurono-kun."
"So, what are you implying?"
"Write your side of the story! Make an autobiography! Your photo obsession has enough images to illustrate it with ease!"
"Seriously?" I cock a brow.
"And we would all be in it!"
"You're so vain, Mei-chan."
"You know it would start off between you and Aoi being at eachother's throats for 3/4 of a year." Nito' speaks up.
"And what about you Nito', plans?"
"I think business is a good way for me to go. Companies, plans, finance." the silver haired boy says.
"Leading." I interject fondly.
"UH!" Nito' gasps.
"Nito'." Fubuki jumps down from the bunk. "You have the top spot for Captain after Rinrin graduates."
"Surely he would choose someone better like you, Kaito or Aoi!" Nito flails his arms.
"Nope." Fubuki shakes his head.
"I wouldn't take it." Kaito admits.
"Captain Chouko the butterfly girl...isn't it a bit strange to have a girl head the boys team?" I giggle.
"But you guys are better!" Nito' protests.
"Nah." Hika-chan waves him off.
"Aoi is specialised in two strokes!"
"It's not a huge achievement." I roll my eyes.
"Breaststroke is harder to specialise in. You can't really specialise in breastsroke and another." Kaito adds.
"I know." Nito' hangs his head.
"Let's get back on topic!" Mei-chan suggests. "I think it's Hinata's turn."
"Uhh... I want to travel? I like going to new places? Travel journalism sounds like a fitting place. I'm good at writing and I'm top of the class in Georgraphy...Sho's turn."
"Damn." Sho mutters. "Uh...I..."
"Neither of us actually know." Kenta admits. "The three of us talked about it about two weeks ago...Hinata, Sho and I."
"It's fine not to know." Hika-chan assures. "But I honestly like the idea of going pro."
"Suits you, Midori torpeedo." Ami-chan compliments.
"Thought you would agree." the green girl beams.
"Sho...you're good at joking about. It's more your forte than Kenta's." Fubuki says.
"And." the bespecticalled boy cocks a brow.
"Maybe that's a good thing." Fubuki encourages.
"I don't get what you're hinting at." Sho admits. "I have no academic strong point...except MFL's. ((Modern foreign languages)) But I only learnt 'em because my family made me. And there's-"
"SHO!" Nito' gasps.
"YOU NEVER SAID YOU COULD DO MFL'S!" Hika-chan pouts.
"YOU HAVE MFL'S! MFL'S CAN GET YOU ANYWHERE! TAKE AN EXAM AND YOU'RE SET!" Fubuki exclaims.
"With an MFL you can get so far! Especially since English is the only MFL we teach at Samezuka." Kaito grins.
"I used to do some language stuff at home in England but Jesus Sho!" Fubuki adds.
"What language did you learn Sho?" I ask.
"Languages." he corrects.
"And to think I thought he was dumb as a post." Mei-chan says to Ami-chan who nods her head, cherry red hair flopping about on her face.
"It's a common misconception about Yoshida Sho." Kenta smirks.
"Well?" Hika-chan nudges Sho. "What do you speak?"
"My parents knew I could learn quickly. Or at least I could. They drilled langages into my skull. They're both bilingual. I can speak a bit of Korean and some Nepalese. But that's due to family..."
"He can pass an exam on them if it's at the English standard for our age." Hinata scoffs.
"He could pass a GCSE in them!" Fubuki's jaw drops.
"I was more interested in the Europein languages, French, Spanish and German. I guess I want to learn them."
"YOU COULD GET SCHOLARSHIPS!!!" Fubuki's acting theatrically dizzy.
"Oh God, shut up." Sho shoves Fubuki. "I like languages but going to... like ...Europe would be insane because-"
"You could still do it!" Fubuki encourages.
"No." Sho stands up. "I can't, because-"
"That's a great idea!" Mei-chan agrees with Fubuki.
Sho flinches and glances from us to the door.
"I can't leave because-"
"Imagine getting to see Paris! Sho! Paris!" Mei-chan's gone to lala land.
"Forget it." Sho makes his way to the door, holding onto the knob.
"Sho..." Fubuki trails off.
"No." the shaggy haired bespecticalled boy storms out of his dorm.
"Sho..." Fubuki repeats, clealy feeling deflated.
