TM Topic 239- Hair
Machi awoke today with the constant beeping of her alarm clock. She wonders why she had to be at school at such an ungodly hour. The only thought she could come up with is that it is all Kakeru Manabe’s fault. He was the one to convince her to join the student council with him. While she does love her brother and enjoys spending time with the dolt, Machi seriously is wondering if she was insane to agree to be the treasurer when last year’s student council president nominated her. Given that the last year student council president went through student council members as fast as a sick person goes through tissues, Machi had thought that the next president would be the same. Unfortunately for her, Yuki Sohma was the next president and he developed a strong bond to the other four student council members. Alas, Machi is still stuck as treasurer.
While musing over that thought, Machi went to freshen up before heading out to school. When the major ‘leave for school now!’ alarm that her parents gave went off, Machi stuffed her books and objects in her bag and headed for the door. As she was about to leave, Machi saw her reflection in her full-length mirror. She stops suddenly to stare at the horror; her hair is perfectly brushed and flows flawlessly around her. Seeing that she had to leave for school immediately, Machi runs to school hoping that the wind will mess up her perfect hair today.
Unfortunately, her perfect hair day continues. The lack of wind and traffic made it impossible for the perfect hair to be messed up. Cursing her luck, Machi hopes no one will notice her hair. She enters the student council room when she hears, “Did you do something special to your hair today, Machi? It’s so silky and shiny today.”
Machi spins around and slaps the person to say such a thing to her. Yuki is able to avoid the slap and smiles at the young girl. “I see… you’re dreading your hair today. I wonder why? Oh! Is it because it’s perfect?”
Machi nods her head vigorously. Yuki smiles and comforts her. “I don’t think anyone else will notice.”
No sooner had those words left his mouth when Kakeru shouts, “Hey Yun-yun! Stop flirting with Machi and her perfect hair! We have work to do!”
The two boys stares in wonder as the young brunette runs down the hall and through the rebuilt wall. The boys glances at each other and came to one conclusion: neither one of them understands girls.
OOC Note: Machi hates perfection. Anything that has to do with perfection irks her to no ends. Yuki also has been slapped by Machi enough times to know when to dodge the blow.
