There was a constant shuffling sound which was beginning to get on my nerves.
" can't you f****** do that some other time. I'm trying to study here" I whined finally at the edge of my patience. I knew clearly that Suzy was just doing it on purpose just to piss me off and she was doing a hell of a job at it
My sister cast me a mournful look pouting her lips
" can't you just do this one thing for me? You know all my friends are going to this party and it in this really cool new club I can't afford to miss it, please go with me or atleast let me go by myself" Suzy pleaded
I rolled my eyes at her persistence. Couldn't she see I was trying to be the responsible one, I was only looking out for her
" you know mom and dad warned us not to endulge in such things, just because their not around doesn't mean we disobey them"
" come on jade, it's not fair that we don't get out. It's Tokyo for goodness sake!"
Long story short, my father had gotten transfered from our hometown in Queen's to Tokyo. Our parents have been too enthusiastic about the offer that they didn't even consider the implication the change would have on us. Well mostly me
Suzy being the bright social earthworm she was adjusted just fine and had made quite a number of friends which left only me who still hadn't made up my mind on which college to attend even though I had applied to several prestigious one's on my parent's insistence
Japan was a whole different planet for me, the fact that we didn't even fit in well with everyone here didn't seem to stop Suzy, but it sure did stop me
It wasn't to say we were ugly in anyway cause that would be a complete lie because to put it simply, Suzy was gorgeous and so was I but I guess the problem was the with me to be exact. I wasn't a social person unlike my sister, even back at home I only had a few number of friends who I wasn't that much attached to so imagine me being thrown into a city of foreigners. It was extremely aweful to even try coping, but for my parent's sake try is all I can do
" it's exactly because it's Tokyo " I mumbled more to myself than Suzy
" just consider it jade, it's an opportunity to meet new people and a couple of my friends will be there to. Plus, you might even meet the love of your life there" Suzy winked
It took everything I had not to laugh
' me? Love? And in Japan nonetheless. I found that totally impossible. If I couldn't find the love of my life back in America just what made Suzy I will find him here in Japan?'
" your just trying to warm me up so I'll let you go to that stupid club"
" is it working?"
I rolled my eyes " perhaps"
Suzy let out a screeching sound, it almost gave my ears a heart attack
" I promise jade, it's going to be so fun"
I rolled my eyes. ' maybe for you'
Digging out my phone from my jeans pocket, I sent a quick text to my father. If we're going to disobey them might as well let them know

The music was loud the dance floor was jam packed and there were people all over the place some Dancing others drinking and some just stumbling across the dance floor
It made me wonder if these people had nothing else to do but come here but since I myself was here was I really in the place to judge. I didn't even know what made me come here in the first place since it was clearly a mistake I should have just stayed at home that would have been better. But it's too late now I was already and I had already texted my parents telling them you are going now so no matter what there was no backing out now
" let's go get a drink" Suzy suggested unlike me she seems rather happy and satisfied being here. I wondered if my sister was an alien how could she possibly be enjoying this but then I guess this was Susie and I shouldn't really expect anything less
Reluctantly I followed behind Suzy try not to bump into anybody and ignoring the constant grouping and touching I reminded myself to be calm
The bar wasn't as crowded as the dance floor and it was a relief as I couldn't imagine having to struggle just to have some drink
The bartender a tall black haired Guy who seems to be my age
I was 19
smile that off a very suspicious smile that was
" welcome can I get you ladies anything"
" some soft drink will be fine thank you" I spoke
The boys smile widened and he shook his head" are you guys seriously having soft drinks in a club that's rather odd don't you think"
" I don't remember asking your opinion. Just do your job dude"
Susie Glen at me and I only Shrugged. I didn't want to be so rude it was just that I really regretted my decision in coming here so it was easy to blame someone else for it
" you are so rude" Suzy said with a disapproving look
" it's fine really I guess it's been a hard day for everybody .my name is Brian by the way"
" Suzy and this is my sister Jade never mind her rudeness"
"It's quite alright. Here are the soft drink"
Brian presented us with two glasses of what I guess was orange juice. Suddenly I felt silly but I really drinking orange juice in a club? Yeah I guess I was.
" so you guys are New in Tokyo?"
" is it really that obvious? Our skin tone must give it out"
I questioned with narrowed eyes which made Brian chuckle
" you don't trust people much do you? I guess that's a good trait if you really want to survive in Tokyo"
" what does that mean? What's so special about Tokyo"
" not much just a bit of mafia issues that's all nothing to be worried about"
" incredibly funny"
Suzy that had been quietly observing the conversation chuckled at that
" your sister is quite the character" Brian whispered to Suzy
" she is isn't she"
I rolled my eyes at the two of them. Suddenly my phone buzzed in my jeans pocket
I love jeans. So I always wear them
. Pulling it out I checked the caller's ID
I frowned out who it was. Ammy!
" what's wrong?" Suzy asked seeing the discomfort on my face. I shruged it off
" I need to take this"
" I wouldn't go for if I were you. It's not safe out there" Brian said and I turned to glare at him
" you mean your mafia issues?"
" just stay on the clubside don't go stalking off into the alley"
" what ever. I'll be right back "
Turning back I made my way through the crowded dance floor out of the exit of the club bypassing the security Guy familiar. I trailed to a remote corner a few inches away from the Club before answering the phone
" what bitch?"
" it's nice to hear from you too Jade"
" what the hell do you want and why do you still have my phone number better yet why are you even calling me"
"Did you honestly think that just because you moved away you can get out of it. Now answer truth or dare"
I rolled my eyes" I'm not even in Queens anymore Amelia let it go already"
" let it go let ! it go?! after you manage to embarrass me the last time and now you suddenly expect me to let it go when it is your turn? as if! Now bitch you better pick"
Truth was I didn't even understand why Amelia was being so angry. although I understood that I might have overreacted on the dare I gave her last time. Back at Queens me and my friends normally played a game of truth and dare every Friday before school ended. We took turns in playing it and daring each other to do the craziest of things it even went as far as making each other have sex. I had actually lost my virginity the first time playing that game when one of my friends had dared me to sleep with a nerd in my class, I was young back then so I didn't think much on it but to retaliate I had dared Amelia to go into the boys shower room after their basketball tournament half naked and declare her Undying love for the basketball team captain. I guess Amelia had lost her reputation after that but I didn't really think she would hold such a grudge I mean we were friends so understand that it wasn't completely my fault
The dares given where irrevocable and one couldn't back out of it but if you were really that desperate not to do it you could always give something to the one who's dare you couldn't complete
I was too tired to handle Amelia's nonsense right now. I just wanted get it over with and so I simply went along with it
" alright then Amelia I pick dare"
" excellent" Amelia exclaimed from the other end of the line voice dripping with excitement. I couldn't help but shiver. something did not feel right
" I dare you to sleep with a foreigner" and there it was. The thing that they don't feel right
" excuse me are you being serious right now?"
" as serious as a day now hurry up and fulfill the dare"
" come on Amelia don't be like that I haven't spent long in Tokyo so I don't have that much friends who the hell am I supposed to sleep with "
" that doesn't sound like my problem are you going to fulfill the dare or do you want me to give you something else to do"
" what else is there?"
" well you could always pay me"
" how much"
" 500000 dollars in cash"
" are you insane? clearly you know I can't afford that. you just want to get back at me no matter what you don't you?
" it's good you understand me this much so hurry up and complete your dare and don't you dare think that I won't to find out if you fake it. karma will kill you, remember the rules b****"
" f*** you. I get it"
With that I angrily shutdown the phone. I was on the verge of exploding with anger. I hated that b**** I can't handle her what the hell was wrong with her but she on a mission to give me AIDS!
What the hell was I going to find a trustworthy person to screw. I couldn't handle all those losers back at the bar this was just too much
I turned to go back into the bar but something caught my attention. At the far end of an alley was a shadowy figure leaning by wall. Why was he standing there alone? Was he may be looking for the bar? That was odd. Although it peaked my interest and against my better judgement I decided to go check it out what's the worst that could happen?
As I drew closer to the figure his appearance became clear to me
In the dimelight, I could make out his features. Charcoal black hair drawn back in a ponytail, bright Emerald Eyes complemented by incredibly long lashes and peach coloured lips wrapped firmly around a cigarettes
Just the sight of him alone and the cold aura he gave made my legs feel jelly. I contemplated if the Dare was even worth fulfilling
'Sleep with a foreigner'
Was the money really worth approaching this guy for what? if I get killed for it? or even worse
Before I could change my mind, I swallowed down the lump of saliva that had gathered in the back of my throat and approached the guy
I really hope this doesn't end up being the worst mistake of my life
" hey there" I bit out in the most sultry voice I could muster
Deep forest green eyes turned to gaze down at me. He was so tall I had to look up in order to meet his gaze. The way he towered over me without even making a single movement was so mesmerizing that it's made my legs feel all jelly
