Okay, so here is chapter one A Bet Ending Their Love!
Hope you enjoy! :)
Prologue
Amu Hinamori was seventeen when her parents divorced, leaving her with a choice of what parent she would rather live with. She chose her mother, after a long night of arguing with herself. Ami, her little sister, then went with their father.
Now she's moving to Seiyo, a small city just outside of Tokyo. This is where her mother's boss had stationed her to work as an editor for a famous magazine "Seiyo In Touch!" With all the money her mother's new job was getting, they were able to live in the wealthy part of the city and Amu was able to go to the prestigious high school, Seiyo High" and this is where the story starts.
Chapter 1
"Amu! Honey, Wake up!" Amu's mother yelled, gently shaking her shoulders.
"Hmm. . ." Amu sighed and slowly opened her eyes.
"It's your first day of school, honey." She said walking towards the door, "I have to get to work. Please get yourself to school on time and in one piece."
Amu rubbed her eyes and nodded. Her mother left.
Amu got up, and had a shower with cold water to wake her up. She wrapped a towel around herself and walked into to her room. She looked around and found a bag with a note on it. Amu ripped the note off and read it aloud, "Amu, there are 5 uniforms in this bag, chose one to wear."
When she opened the bag and saw a piece of white paper with two lists on them of different combinations of uniforms she could wear. One list was basically either a plaid mini skirt or a jean mini skirt with her choice of shirt and the other list was three different pairs of skinny jeans with, again, her choice of shirt. Amu looked outside and saw it looked like a cool day, so she wore the black skinny jeans that had S.H. on one of the back pockets, a pink tee with the words 'heart ache' in thick black letters across her shirt, and a black hoodie with broken heart as a zipper. She zipped the hoodie up half way to show the pink tee. She straightened her bubblegum pink hair, put a thin black headband in, and swept her bangs to one side of her face.
She walked out of her room, but not before peeking her clock.
"Ah! I'm going to be late!" She yelled to herself, running to the front door, put on her pink converse, grabbed her keys, and headed out the doors. She jumped into her car and sped down the street towards the school
When she got to the school the guard gave her a card, so she could access the underground parking lot.
When her car was parked and locked, Amu walked to the actual front gates of the school. She looked at her phone and she wasn't even close to being late. She groaned, and continued to walk. She looked around and noticed everyone was gawking at her or starting rumors. She looked around and saw two girls who appear to be approachable.
"Um, Excuse me." Amu said. The two blondes turned and looked at her. The girl with two long pigtails looked at her in disgust.
"Don't expect us to fawn over you." She exclaimed.
"Wow!" Amu said raising her hands in defense, "Never wanted that to happen. Anyways I'm New."
"Oh, sorry," Utau said. "My name is Utau Hoshina, and this is Rima."
"Hi, I was wondering where the office might be." Amu asked.
"We'll show you." Rima said.
"Great, Thank you!" Amu exclaimed. They walked off towards the office when another girl came up.
"Hey!" she yelled. Pointing to Amu.
"What do you want, Bitch?" Rima asked coldly.
"I want to talk to the new girl who seems to get so much attention." She said.
"What do you want?" Amu asked, putting on her cool & spicy act.
"I want you to stay away from my boyfriend." She stated.
"I haven't even been here for ten minutes and you think I've met your boyfriend!" Amu threw her hands up in angry of being accused.
"You probably think you can anyone you want, even my boyfriend." She said angrily.
"I don't know who you are or why you won't listen, but did you not just hear me?" Amu asked, coldly.
"Rumors spread fast around here." She told Amu.
"Whatever." Amu walked. "I have to get to class."
Utau and Rima laughed and then ran to catch up with Amu. They directed her to the office; she got her schedule and showed Utau.
"You have all the same classes as me!" Utau said happily.
"Doesn't that mean she has all the same classes as Saaya's boyfriend?" Rima asked.
"Oh yeah, and two with Saaya." Utau mumbled.
"Was Saaya the girl who was yelling at me before?" Amu inquired. The girls nodded.
"Ugh!" Amu rolled her eyes, "Great!"
"Well, time to go to first period." Utau said, waving good-bye to Rima and pulling Amu with her to one of the classes. Which just happened to music, both instrumental and vocal. Much to Amu's joy Saaya walked in right before they did. Amu gagged.
"Stay here. I'll tell the teacher you're here." Utau said before heading into the classroom.
"Come on in." The male teacher said. Amu walked in and stood at the front of the classroom while boys gawked and girls glared.
"Please introduce yourself." He said.
"Fine, I'm Amu Hinamori." Amu said and rolled her head lazily to the side. "May I sit down now?"
"Yes, you may." He said, "I'm Mr. Aruto, please sit between Utau and Ikuto."
She nodded her head and went to her seat.
Amu's POV
When I got to my seat I turned to Utau.
"What unit is this?" I asked, but didn't get an answer from the person I was talking to.
"Vocals." A low husky voice said, "And today's a test."
My eyes widened.
"What?" I asked.
"Don't worry, if your not as bad as Saaya you'll do fine, and he picks the songs." Utau piped in, glaring at Ikuto.
"If you're good he will let you sing the whole song and if you're bad he'll stop you." Ikuto shrugged.
"So, who's the best in the class?" I asked no one in particular.
"Me." Utau said smiling. We high-fived.
"Ladies, I'd prefer if you'd pay attention!" Aruto said sternly.
Ikuto smirked.
"It wasn't-" I tried to explain.
"Listen, please." Mr. Aruto said. I glared at Ikuto, faced the front and noticed Saaya was staring at us, or more like glaring at me.
"So, Saaya, Your next." Mr. Aruto said. I guess I wasn't paying attention because there were only ten more people to sing,
"Okay, Saaya. Your singing . . . Catch Me." He said, and gestured for the music to begin.
(Catch Me by Demi Lovato)
BeFore I FALL, TOO fast
KiSS Me Quick, BuT make It Last
SO I can see HOW badly this will
Hurt me when YOU SSAY GoODBye . . .
"Okay, Okay that's enough. You know you should really practice because you need this to pass this year." He told her.
"Utau, You're up." He gestured for her to stand up at the front.
"And you'll be singing . . . Breathe slow." He said and nodded his head.
(Breathe Slow by Alesha Dixon)
I'm running of patience
'Cause I can't believe
What the hell I'm hearing.
And speaking of the hell
It don't compare to this heat
That I'm feelin'
I love too much
It shows
All my emotions go
Out of control oh whoa whoa
Good for you
Bad for me
When I can hardly see from the tears
That flows oh whoa chorus
Can't forget to breath slow
Count from 1 to 20 with my eyes closed
Cause ladies late it and get
Comp-oh-oh-oh-sure
Before I loss get
Comp-oh-oh-oh-sure
I'm gonna breath slow
Count form one to ten with my eyes
Closed cause ladies take it in
And get comp-oh-oh-oh-sure
Ladies never lose
Comp-oh-oh-oh-sure
Not gonna lie or even try
You've got my wheel spinning
And I ain't the one shot the gun
Cause that means you will be winning
Oh yeah
I love you too much
It shows all my emotions
Go out of control
Oh whoa whoa
Good for you
Bad for me
When I can hardly see from the tears
That I'm crying whoa
Chorus
Somebody hold me back
You're lucky I know how to act,
So lucky I ain't gonna attack.
I'm calm and cool
But believe me you,
It's taking everything to just
Breath, breath, breathe . . .
Chorus (x2)
Utau bowed while everyone clapped, except for Saaya.
"That was wonderful, Utau!" Aruto exclaimed.
"He's right!" I told her when she came back to her seat. We high fived.
"Thanks!" She said Happily.
"Okay, know Ikuto!" He said
"He's the best guy singer in this class." Utau informed me. I nodded acknowledging I had heard her.
"Okay you'll be singing . . . Hero." Mr. Aruto said.
(Hero by Sterling Knight)
Yeah, Yeah
I'm no superman
I can't take your hand
And fly you anywhere you wanna go, yeah
I can't read your mind
Like a bell boy sign
And tell you everything you wanna hear
But I'll be your hero
Cause I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me

I may be an ordinary guy without his soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero, oh

Some kind of miracle
That when its meant to be
I'll become a hero-o
So I'll wait, wait, wait, wait for you
Yeah, I'll be your hero, yeah
Cause I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me

But if youre the one for me
Then I'll be your hero, yeah
Yeah, I'll be your hero, yeah
I'll be your hero
Hero
"Amazing, as expected!" Mr. Aruto said.
He was looking at me almost the whole song.
"Do you know him?" Uatu asked.
"No." I responded, before he sat down, and looked away.
"Alright only 2 more peoplehave to go. So, Kukai you're up next." Mr. Aruto said.
"He's the second best guy soingeer." Utau sighed. Okay, I'm no expert, but Uatu definitely likes him.
"You'll be singing . . . Rich girl." He said
Kukai was the only studaent to nod when the teacher told him what song he was going to sing.
(Rich girl by Down with Webster.)
You're a rich girl

"That's what I expected from you!" Mr. Aruto told him, then a frown was drawn on his face.
"Amu, how are you at singing?" He asked me
I shrugged my shoulders and went to the front. He grimaced.
"Let's hope you won't end this class on a bad note." He whispered or tried because I still heard every word he had just said.
"Okay, you'll be singing . . . Let's go with . . . Once Upon a December." He said.
(Once Upon a December by Liz Callaway)
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Once Upon a December
(Instrumental interlude) – I looked over at Mr. Aruto and he was astonished, so were Kukai, Ikuot, Utau and Saaya, along with the rest of the class. I smiled and continuied on.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory... – The bell rang signally students to go to period two, but no one in the room moved a muscle.
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December
Everyone clapped furiously including Mr. Aruto, I felt the blood race to my cheeks.
"Amazing I wasn't expecting that at all!" Mr. Aruto exclaimed. Utau ran up to me.
"You're better than me and that was awesome." She gushed.
"Um, thanks, but shouldn't we be getting to period two." I asked holding up two fingers.
Everyone gasped and ran off. I laughed as Utau pulled me to English.
Utau told me the same thing as before.
"You may come in." The female voice said.
I walked into the class and smiled because I was happy about the previous class.
"What a gorgeous smile." A bunch of people said in English. I guess they thought I wouldn't understand because I came in the middle of the year.
"Please introduce yourself and where you are from." She explained.
"Okay, I'm Amu Hinamori and I'm from America." I said in English and the guys, who commented about my smile, blush.
"I'm Ms. Hisae, please take a seat between Ikuto and Kukai." Ms. Hisae told me.
I nodded and headed to my assigned seat.
"Pst! Pst! Psst!" Kukai kept whispering. My eye twitched.
"WHAT?" I whisper yelled back.
"Amazing singing before." He smiled.
"Thanks." I smiled, and heard two 'ugh' sounds.
One from the other side of me and the other noise came from behind me. I looked and saw Utau and wrote on a piece of paper:
Are you jealous?
When the paper was back on my desk there were two answers on it, in two different styles.
Yes. And No.
So, I wrote:
Wow, who am I talking to?
And when it came back there was more clarification.
Ikuto said yes and I, Utau, said No. Teach comin'.
I looked up and saw her coming and at on the note, so she couldn't read it.
"Something more interesting than my lecture on commas?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Nope." I told her. She eyed me once more before heading back to the front of the class. The rest of the period went by quickly. The bell rang and the class emptied.
"Miss Hinamori, please stay after class for awhile." Ms. Hisae said. Utau walked by and mouthed 'meet you at lunch.' I nodded and walked to her desk.
"Now, I heard you were quite the star this morning in music today." She told me.
"Yeah, apparently." I agreed with her.
"So. Maybe next class you can talk less and participate more. Remember you came in the middle of the year, so you have a lot to catch-up on." She said before dismissing me.
I ran to my locker grabbed my money and walked towards the cafeteria. Then I realized I had no idea where that was and I didn't have my map.
"You lost, junior?" A guy said coming from a dark hallway.
"What kind of school has a dark hall?" I thought to myself.
"I'm not a junior." I informed and crossed my arms. What a big mistake that was.
"Wow. You're right! No junior could have a chest like yours." He said staring at my chest. He then grabbed my wrist and dragged me back to where he had come from. Eventually we ended up outside.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked calmly.
"To the smoke pit to met a couple of my friends." He told me.
"Great! Just Great! I'm going to met a couple of stoned freaks!" I thought to myself.
"Just act calm, and when the time comes run." A voice in my head told me.
I looked around and saw Rima, with Ikuto and Utau and Kukai.
"Guys, OVER-" I tried to yell, but was cut off by a rough hand placed over my mouth. But he was too late. I saw Kukai look this way and gave me a questioning look, before pointing and saying something. Ikuto shook his head and walked away with Kukai. However, Rima and Utau came running.
"Hey, Ryo! Let go of her!" Utau said.
"No way! A couple of my friends want to meet her!" He yelled. As they were arguing I bit this Ryo guy's hand.
"Ouch!" He yelled in pain. "You little, bitch!" He raised his hand, I closed my eyes and the pain I was expecting never came.
When I opened my eyes I saw Ikuto in front of me, holding the guy's hand and then he threw it away.
"hey Ikuto! So, you finally dumped Saaya?" He asked.
Ikuto's eyes hardened.
"Yes." He responded, but it sounded painful to me. In the distance I heard a bell and the I quickly thanked Ikuto and ran off with Utau and Rima and headed to Chemistry.
Ikuto's POV
Ryo and I watched the girls run to chemistry, then I turned to him.
"So, why were you about to slap her?" I asked him.
"Um . . . I . . . She bit me!" He told me nervously.
"So, you shouldn't have tried to slap her, especially on school property." I warned him.
"So, if I slapped her after school and off school property you'd be fine with it?" He challenged me.
"Yeah. I'm only being nice because of a bet Kukai and I set up." I let him know of the bet.
"Oh, and how did that come about?" He asked. I stared at him for a while and finally decided to tell him.
Flashback
Kukai and I were talking when suddenly everyone started to gasp and talk about someone new, I'm assuming anyway. We walked up to a guy standing in the crowd.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"The school has a new goddess!" He exclaimed.
"What do you mean I thought Mia was the goddess?" Kukai wondered.
"Yeah, but she graduated last year and this girl is so hotter than her!" He told us, he was rather excited. We moved so we could see her. My jaw dropped, the pinkette had a figure that could make her top model, and her chest looked around a C cup, but I'm no expert, and she had bright golden eyes.
"She is definitely gorgeous, but ten guys have asked her out and she has rejected everyone bluntly and coldly." The guy informed them.
"Haha! Hey, Ikuto, I bet you can't get a date with her." Kukai challenged me.
"I'll accept that challenge!" I laughed. This was going to be easy.
"Okay, you have one week to get one date with the new chick." Kukai said.
"Hey, Baby!" Saaya said coming into view. Ops! I forgot about my girlfriend . . .
"Hey, I jut made a bet with Kukai." I let her know, which was a bad idea.
"Oh, what about?" She asked, and would soon regret asking me that.
"That I can't get a date with the new girl in one week." I told her and then my face made an 'oh shit!' expression. When I realized what I just told my girlfriend . . . man I can be so stupid sometimes.
"Well, you can't!" She laughed at the beginning then her flatten at the end show she was angry.
"Yeah, how about we take a break for one week then we'll get back together." I smiled; fake of course, at her.
"Okay!" She perked up, but as she turned I could see she was pissed. Then she waked off to who knows where.
End Flashback
'Good luck, with the bet." Ryo said walking away leaving me alone. I turned around and headed to chemistry.
"I have a feeling there was more behind that 'Good luck', then he was letting on." I said aloud to myself, and made my way to the chemistry labs.
There you have it!
