This is my first fanfic. I hope you enjoy reading and please review.
Chapter 1. Looking Back
Flawlessly, she answers every Calculus problem with a breeze. Her glasses fog up and an easy smile can be seen on her lips. Hazuki finishes her homework and lets out a sigh. "There. I'm done. Now, it's time for bed."
She stretches out her hands over her head and looks at her table clock. "Oh! It's 12 midnight already? I'm overdoing my study habits again." She giggles and walks to her bed. She kneels down, says hers prayers and lies down.
She closes her eyes. 'I wonder if Doremi and the others would still scold me if they knew I'm overdoing studies again' she thought. Her eyes caught the picture frame on her side table. It was her graduation picture in middle school with her bestfriends and their parents.
"It's been 4 years, huh?" she says taking the picture in her hands. She looks at it more intensely and a tear rolled out her eye. Yet, she had a happy smile on her. She graduated Valedictorian in middle school and everybody was proud of her. "Doremi, Aiko, Onpu, Momoko, Hana… I miss you guys."
She puts back the picture frame on her table and rolled to her side. 'Yes, I miss them. The last time we were together was a couple of months ago on summer. We have get-togethers once a year after all. But it's still different back in middle school' she thought.
Doremi went to Misora High School where most of their batchmates attended so it wasn't hard for Doremi to cope up. Aiko went back to Osaka with her parents and lived with her grandfather. She's in the best secondary school there and she's their number 1 athlete. Onpu attended an exclusive high school for celebrities that give acting and singing workshops to strengthen their talents. Momoko flew to America with her parents and is the top of their class in high school there. They also heard that Hana was now having a one-on-one training with the Queens to control her magic and become responsible. She was 5 years old now.
And, Hazuki Fujiwara attended the exclusive Karen All Girls' Academy, a school for girls with great intellect and potential. She is in her last year now, just like her bestfriends, and she's currently the number 1 student. She also travels sometimes with her parents when her father will have shootings in different countries and places. She also visits her bestfriend, Doremi, once a month and vice versa.
She closes her eyes and looks back at her memories. She remembers the first time they became witches, when she made a toy mouse that winds itself. She remembered the Majo dou and the times they worked there being a magic shop to a flower shop, a sweet shop and a craft shop. She remembers the time they became mommies of Hana and their adventures as ojamajos. She remembers the FLAT 4 and how they became enemies to friends. She remembers her classmates and their times together. All these memories made her want to go back in time and experience them all over again.
Then, one thought came to her. She opens her eyes and thinks for a little while. "I miss him" she whispers. She closed her eyes again and unveiled the image she saw. A boy with green hair and eyes was there. He had a purple polo with unbuttoned top buttons and fatigue-colored pants. He was holding out flowers to her. 'That was on Valentines Day, my birthday' she thought. Her heart raced and beat faster and faster.
"Masaru-kun" she said and a blush crept out her face. She still had this weird feeling every time she would think of him, more if he was near her. She's been like this ever since she… met him. The time when he helped her up when she got injured in kindergarten, that was the time she met him. He became her treasured friend.
"Masaru-kun, you still make me feel like this." She whispered feeling more heat come to her face as she remembered the time when he threw their treasured whistle and they found it together, holding hands when they found it. "You still make me feel like this even if we haven't talked for 4 years" she said. 'Though, I would really want to talk with you if I had the courage to do so'.
Hazuki would ask Doremi bout him since they both went to Misora high school.
Doremi: He's fine, Hazuki. He's not a loner anymore. He hangs out with Hasebe a lot and sometimes with Kotake. He's in Judo club, Sports club and Art club. He's so popular with the girls in school too. But he hasn't made a move nor shown interest with any girl in school, though. He's popular, you know. And he's cheerful now. And… ahm.. argh! Why don't you ask him yourself, Hazuki? I mean, you're childhood friends and all, right?
Hazuki: (shrugs and blushes) I wish I could, Doremi. But I haven't talked to him since our graduation day. And if I did talk to him, what would I say? I don't even think I'll be able to say something. He might be angry at me coz I didn't go to Misora high school.
Doremi: (grins andslaps Hazuki's back) You know what, Hazuki? I think you still have a crush on Yada. Am I right?
Hazuki: (glasses fog up and face turns to bright red) What do you mean, Doremi?! No! No! He's… I mean. We're just… I…
Doremi: You don't have to hide it from me, Hazuki. I knew it from the beginning. Since we were in kindergarten. You see each other more than friends. You treasure one another. You both just don't admit it to yourselves. You like him, ok? Or maybe it's more than like, Hazuki?
'Could Doremi be right? Is that how I feel for Masaru?' she asked herself. 'Well, I don't know. I wish I could know but I'm also afraid if he don't or won't feel the same way'. She rubs her eyes and closes them tight. In an instant, she fell asleep and dreamt of strolling down the park seeing a familiar face up ahead.
End of chapter 1.
Hope you like it. I hope to get reviews too. I don't care if nobody reads it now or tomorrow but in the future, I know there will be people who'll appreciate my work. Next chapter will either come tomorrow or the next day. I'm sorry if I started with a short one. I'll make the next ones longer. Tell me what you want to happen in the next chapters too.
Yours truly,
Hazuki-Masaru
