On a bright and sunny Sunday, Hikaru was lying on her stomach on her bed with a pencil in her hand. She was used to doing her homework like this and she felt comfortable. She had finished most of it and had a little left to do. She was working all morning on her homework, trying to finish it quickly. Practices would just tire her out; she didn't have any energy to do homework when she got home. She would just take a shower and then end up falling asleep on the couch. So she decided that today, she would finish everything she had been putting aside. She was almost finished when her cell phone rang. Thank goodness it was on her bed, so she didn't have to reach for anything.
Caller ID: Gou
"Hey Gou!" Hikaru greeted.
"Hi Hikaru-chan! How are you? Are you busy today?"
"I'm good, how are you? Oh, not really. Just catching up on homework. I'm almost done though." Hikaru replied.
"I'm good, good. Hey, guess what?!"
"What?"
"Captain Mikoshiba asked me out on a date!"
"Oh my god! How did Rin take it?"
There was a pause on the other line.
"Oh Gou."
"He doesn't know! You're the first person I told."
"Oh! Well, are you excited?"
"I'm a little nervous to be honest." Gou replied. "He was really excited when I agreed. And so I thought, why not give him a shot?"
"That's great! Where are you going?"
"To see a movie and then go to a cafe."
"Oh that's nice! Tell me all about it when you get home."
"Er…"
"What?"
"I want you to come."
"Come? Wait, the date is today?"
"Yes. We're going to see the movie at a theatre close to Samezuka academy; I don't want to risk onii-chan seeing us." Gou explained.
"Oh…"
"So I want you to follow us and if you see onii-chan, quickly distract him!"
"But…"
"Hikaru-chan, pleeeease!" She begged. "I'm really looking forward to this date, and if onii-chan finds out, I know he'll ruin it."
Hikaru couldn't say no. "Alright." She smiled. "I'll do that."
Gou shrieked. "Thank you, Hikaru-chan! I owe you one big time! Meet me at my house in an hour."
Hikaru smiled. "You're welcome, Gou. No no, you don't have to owe me."
"I insist!"
"Okay okay." She laughed. "See you in an hour."
"Wear something cute, you'll be hanging out with onii-chan after all~" She said cheerily and hung up.
"WHAT?!"
