Where are you? I checked your room but you weren't there. I tried calling you but no one's answering. Why did you leave? And why the hell is Nino in your room??
Why did you let a guy sleep in your room?? I thought -

Where are you???? You know what?? Forget it. I have half a mind to let you be in trouble since you're not answering your fone. I could care less what happens when your aunt and uncle find out that you let a guy sleep in your room, ALONE, and uninvited. Besides, I thought you never let guys into your room, much less sleep on your bed?
This...this really says alot...

I woke up a several hours ago a little woozy. I tried getting up but when I sat up, my head started spinning so I laid back down again...
I'm not in my room - that's the first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes. It took me several minutes to realize that I was in someone else's room. It must be the coffee that did this to me. The last thing I remember was looking at the starlit sky with -
Oh, wait...that's right. It was her.
Damn it. I don't know how long I was out. I kept trying to remember as I sat up from the bed. Of course, it didn't occur to me to check my watch, only to find out it was after midnight.
I climbed out of the bed and slipped on my shoes. They were firmly placed next to the bed. Huh...I don't remember that being there...
I started wandering around the room, trying to figure out who owned the room I was in. Turning on the light, I quickly realized that I was in a girl's room. My eyes roam around to get a good view. Beside the door was the light switch, which was next to the bed. On the far side of the room was a cabinet. Next to it was the computer. I turned around to find a desk and book shelf made of wicker. Rows and rows of books lined each shelf, except for the top. I stared at the pictures, each with its own frame, lining the top shelf. For some reason, I got this really weird feeling that I've been here before...
I went back to the bed and on my way, I saw a corkboard next to the light switch. A paper pinned against it caught my eye. And that's when it hit me.
This is Hanari's room.
I dropped myself onto the bed and stared at the ceiling. This was Hanari's room. The room was Hanari's. I was in Hanari's room. But...how did I get here?
I kept trying to remember how when I heard the door knob turn. I quickly scrambled under the blankets and pretended to sleep when I heard Sho-kun's voice whispering into the room.
"Hey, why is the light on?"
Oh, crap. I forgot to turn off the lights. Damn it.
"Maybe Hanari left it on." Another voice whispered.
"Oh, who cares? Just get him out of here. It's already past midnight." A female voice (I think it was Emiko) piped in. "Honestly, I don't know what the hell is that girl thinking, letting Nino sleep in her bed." I could hear slight contempt in her voice as she said my name.
Well, Emiko-chan, you're off my Christmas list then!
Next thing I know, hands were slowly shaking me and Sho's voice was gently telling me to wake up. I pretended to move a bit but just shoved him off.
"Oh screw this!!" Jun's voice hoarsely cut through the air. "Oi! Wake up!" He fiercely whispered as his hand slapped my face - hard. I frowned but didn't get up. He then slammed a pillow on my face.
I growled and pushed the pillow away, slowly opening my eyes. I pretended to be half-asleep, throwing a yawn here and there for effect. "Huh?"
"It's time to wake up. Come on." Sho gently patted me. I looked up and saw Jun, Aiba and Oh-chan staring at me. Emiko was leaning against the doorway, staring at the floor.
"Jun-kun woke me up, didn't he?" I grumbled as I slid my shoes on. "You know, the slap really wasn't necessary. He scratched my face!" I complained to Sho-kun.
"God, don't be so dramatic~" Jun rolled his eyes. I could hear happiness in his voice.
"Don't worry. We'll put some ice pack when we get you home, okay?" Sho-kun ushered everyone out.
"Let me see." Oh-chan's hands were on my chin as he turned my head towards his. "It doesn't look that bad, I guess..."
"Oh-chan~" I whimpered.
It was past one in the morning when we drove off from the girls' place. No one said a word during the car ride home.
"I can't believe you guys kidnapped me and Ohno!" My voice was angry.
"And I can't believe you two fell for it!" Jun laughed maniacally.
"I can't believe we even pulled it off." Aiba pointed out. "It was all Hanari's idea anyway. I gotta hand it to her though - the plan did work."
They all nodded in agreement. "What plan??!!" I yelled. "You mean she set this all up??"
"Eh...we'll tell you the story tomorrow, okay?" Sho said through chuckles. "Gah~ We better get home. I feel so tired..."
I growled and slumped back on my seat. I can't believe she pulled a stunt like this!!
...though I gotta hand it to her. I didn't think she had it in her to do something so...so-so-so deviously evil, its as if...something I might actually do...
So that's how my night went. I don't even know why I'm writing this down, much less posting it here. I guess I'm just trying to make sense of things. I just...
...hey, wait...where are we going??!!
