Alright, so this is the beginning of a short multi-chapter story I'm working on, which is a small part of a big AU I'm planning out. I'm not good at tackling big things, so I'm starting small and going from there. This is possibly going to be around three chapters long.
"Naruuuu-channnn, how could youuuuuu?"
No one in the classroom reacts to the yelling of Usagi Tsukino besides Naru Osaka. It was a few months into the school year and everyone in the classroom was already used to the loud girl and her various outbursts, typically aimed at or around Naru, her best friend.
"I cannot believe," Usagi slams the classroom door open and rushes over to Naru's desk. "you didn't tell me that your mom was having a sale!" She pulls up a chair and sits down, slapping her hands to her face as she sobbed.
Naru lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "What are you talking about, Usagi-chan?" She asks, grabbing a piece of her lunch meat with her fingers and she puts it close to Usagi's face. Usagi moves her face enough to see the food and opens her mouth. Naru tosses the food inside, and taps Usagi's face affectionately.
Usagi swallows the food and grabs Naru's napkin to wipe her face. "Umino gave me a flyer for your mom's store."
"A flyer?"
"Yeah! Let me just," Usagi leans over and begins digging through her bag. "It says you're having a weekend sale," she pulls out a few of her notebooks and puts it on her own desk, "savings up to 75 percent off."
"What?" Naru raises an eyebrow. A sale? This was the first time she's heard about this.
"Dang it! Where did I put that flyer?" Usagi grumbles as she goes through her bag. "Aha!" Usagi whips out a scrunched up piece of paper, "Here, see!" Usagi hands Naru the flyer, and begins putting her books away.
A white flyer with her family's jewelry store written on it in black characters. SALE was written in English over a red bubble next to the family name. Under the store's name was GREAT DEALS, with the translation written in Hiragana under along with a list of things that were discounted. Surprisingly, it was almost everything they had in the store.
"My mom didn't tell me we were having a sale," Naru says, her eyebrows scrunching together. Her mom always keeps her updated on the events their store was having. It was her mom's attempt at getting her to learn from her and become a successful business woman. "You said Umino gave you this?" She asks slowly as she reads it over once more.
"Mhm," Usagi nods as she pulls out her lunch and places it on Naru's desk, opposite of Naru's own lunch. "He gave me the flyer this morning on my way to school, right before the road meets where we begin walking together." She opens her lunchbox and places a napkin on her lap. "I didn't really care until a few minutes ago I heard some older girls talking about your store and the sale."
Naru turns and looks out the window, and she sees Umino standing outside the building with a large box, filled with what she assumes to be the flyers. "Weirdo," she whispers, and folds the flyer and slides it into her desk. "Whatever, I'll just ask my mom later."
"Right!" Usagi nods, "Let's ask after we go to my house after school together!"
Naru looks at Usagi, noting how the way her eyes sparkle and the way she says the word together. "You..." Naru gives Usagi an annoyed look, "you didn't ask your mom permission to sleepover."
"Ahaha, well..." Usagi laughs nervously, scratching the back of her head.
"Usagi-chan!" Naru huffs, glaring at the other girl.
"She's nicer to you than she is me! She'll say yes if you ask because she likes you so much! You're her favorite person!"
"Ugh."
"Sorry, Naru-chan!"
Naru rolls her eyes, but still gives Usagi a small smile, assuring her that she's not angry. She can be annoyed with her later, her mom is the one that's on her mind.
Please tell me what you think.
