I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS! PEACH-PIT OWNS THEM! (just making that clear)
I hope you enjoy this! This is only the first chapter…
If I get at least ten reviews I will post the next one!
And that's how the break ended.
Tomorrow was April first and no one could do anything about it. Everyone who graduated middle school last year would now be first year freshman at Seiyo High School. The uniforms were delivered that morning and were practically the same as middle school except there was no tie and the shirts underneath were black with blue lining on the edges and the skirts were a dark blue and black and white plaid combination.
"I can't believe we start school tomorrow," the rosette complained as she, a blonde and a light brunette were sitting in a local café on the last day of spring break. The blonde only snorted, "Again, we leave Yaya behind."
"That isn't fair! Kairi and I are always the last ones to graduate!" Yaya pouted.
Kairi transferred back when Yaya and the group were in middle school, and he is permanently staying in the neighbourhood so he will be attending the high school next year. Even though he is technically the youngest, because of his academic achievements he was allowed to skip grades so now he is in the same grade as Yaya. Yaya stopped referring to herself in third person a year ago finally asserting herself as the older sister she should be to Tsubasa, and because all of their guardian characters left them in the second year of middle school which for most of them was last year.
The rosette laughed, "We can't help it if you're younger than us Yaya."
"Hmph," she said while eating the last piece of her chocolate cheesecake, "whatever, at least I won't be lonely. And of course you two have Tadase, Nagi, and Kukai will be there." She recalled. The blonde looked up at her from her parfait, "and you're saying that's a good thing?"
"Rima stop kidding," the rosette smirked, "we all know that you and Nagi have become way closer ever since we graduated elementary school. You can't possibly hate each other no matter how much you deny it."
"Have I ever said I hated purple head? No. Yes, we're friends, but that's it." she then turned her eyes toward her rosette friend, "on second hand you and Ikuto seem to be getting along perfectly where you left off when he went traveling." She smirked as did Yaya.
Amu gulped the last of her smoothie and let out a breath feeling the heat rise to her cheeks, "U-uhm…Ikuto and I are great actually," she smiled.
"No way…" Rima said, "Are you actually admitting to something."
"Y-yeah?" Amu said looking straight at the white table top, "when I wasn't with y-you two or U-u-Utau, I was with him and we actually have been going out all break and now we're a couple…" she said that last part quietly. Yaya's brown eyes widened and Rima nearly choked on the last layer of her parfait.
"Are you serious?" Rima looked at her. Amu only nodded shyly as her face flushed matching her hair colour.
"OH MY GOSH!" Yaya yelled drawing all the attention to them in the café. She blinked turning to everyone else, "sorry." Everyone went back to chattering mumbling things like, "how rude," and "they should be kicked out," but they didn't care. They were going to leave in a couple of seconds anyway.
"He is so much better than Tadase," Rima retorted as they were walking through a park path.
"Tadase isn't that bad," Yaya said to Rima, "I think."
"I gave him a chance Yaya, and he blew it twice." Amu added, "Ikuto has always been there even when he was hundreds of miles away, he always sent letters. Thankfully he finally found his dad who is now the new President of Easter."
Suddenly Rima's cell phone rang. She rolled her eyes.
"It's probably my mom, always wanting to check up on me." she let out a breath in annoyance. Her parents are now divorced and she lives with her mother who is more over protective than ever. It's odd though as she; her father and mother still live in the same house. They just don't sleep in the same bed—her father on the couch—and her father goes on a lot of 'business trips'.
"Mom I'm with Amu and Yaya I'm not going to get kidnapped." She replied with a bothered tone, ready to hear some frantic woman on the other line when instead she hears a person laughing on the other line and realizes who it is when they smartly talk back to her. "NAGIHIKO!? You shut up, you out of all people normally text me if anything! Wait, aren't you in London, oh your back…" she said calmly back into the phone.
Amu and Yaya both smirked seeing the blossoming relationship as Rima's cheeks were soon bright red and she smiled widely probably at how his experiences were. Everyone in their group knew he was going to London for half of Spring Break, but they noted that Rima knew earlier not seeming so surprised when he told he rest of them, and of course Nagihiko mentioned he told her beforehand.
"Oh I'm with Amu and Yaya…we just went to the café, nothing formal," she replied before laughing at something he said, "Yes that was funny the last time we went." She then held a perplexing look, "you'd rather go with two girls than Tadase—actually that makes sense in your part." She added as a quick thought before smiling, he probably laughed on the other end they suspected. She nodded gently, "I'll tell Amu, wait why your place?"
Her faced scrunched up, "oh shut up I'm not that bad at directions! You're good ole' other blonde friend Tadase can't even tell his right from his left." She argued before blinking and more blush appeared on her face, "yes, we have established that we're friends purple-head….ok, ok, ok Nagihiko." She said his name quietly as if she only wanted him to hear it. "Ok, we'll see you tomorrow." She shut her phone to find two Cheshire cats, one pink and one brown.
"What?" she asked defensively.
"What was that you and Nagi were talking about?" Amu asked on her right.
"Yes, it was very interesting," Yaya added.
"N-nothing special, he just returned from London last night and just woke up a couple of minutes ago…he had major jet lag." She added the last comment to detract from the situation at hand and to why she started blushing in the first place.
"And you're the first person he decided to call?" Amu added smiling greatly.
"And rekindling memories of the last time you went with him to the café…"
"He just remembered the last time we went as a group," she said quickly but she was lying through her teeth and they both knew it. Amu chuckled, "Nothing was funny the last time we went as a group Rima…admit it, you two were flirting with each other, there is a reason why he called you first, he missed you." Her smile was genuine. She knew Nagihiko had feelings for Rima and she had feelings for him. Both of them just didn't want to admit.
"He missed everyone Amu," Rima said back to her, "who wouldn't miss the only friends they've ever known. Besides, he just called to schedule a meet up with you, me and him for our first day tomorrow. We'll meet at his place at 7 as the orientation is at 7:30 and he wants to get their early to beat the crowd."
"That's smart," Yaya had gotten her mind distracted.
"It is Nagihiko we are talking about," Rima said back to her, "his intelligence is who he is."
"That's true," Amu seemed to get her mind off it too, much to Rima's liking.
The three of them continued to walk in the direction of their homes. Yaya left at the crossroads living in a different direction of both Amu and Rima. They continued down the block and came to a stop as Amu went into her house. Rima only had to walk a block or two to get to her place. If she walked down further she would reach Nagihiko's place within a matter of minutes.
The thought of Nagihiko caused pink to come up onto her cheeks. She dismissed it and unlocked the door to her house. She let out a breath locking it behind her, "I'm home." She called into the house. She found her dad passed out on the couch with an empty bottle on the floor. She completely ignored that and realized that her mother was probably working her night shift and went to her room upstairs. It was the one in front of the stairs.
Over the years her room changed colour but right now it was a light chartreuse colour with some white circles. Her room was simple with white sheer curtains, checkerboard red and white bedding and some splashes of light blue and dark blue. It reminded her so much of KusuKusu which is why it was like that.
Could Nagihiko have really missed me?
She had no denying he missed everyone else, but her, did he miss her? Is that really why he called her and not his supposed best friend Amu? She accepted that they both shared Amu but still imagined them to be closer because they've known each other longer, so for him to call her was a surprise but a good one.
Sigh. All she could wait for was tomorrow. She looked at the uniform that hung on her closet door that was wide open—her mother probably put it there before she left after dinner. She walked up to it from her bed and her fingers ran over the fabric that was her new uniform. It was a little, for lack of a better word, dark, but she could probably make it work although she'd probably have to shorten the skirt. Ugh. Even if she was taller, standing at 5ft 4 inches, she was still shorter than most people. For example, Nagihiko was already 6ft and was not only younger than her but was taller than most people.
She let out a breath and slipped off her jeans and placed on the mini skirt. Hm. It was actually the right length, which was surprising. She then grabbed some shorts and a baggy tee shirt to wear to bed to night and changed into them and placed the skirt back on the hanger.
I wonder how Nagihiko will look in his uniform….
What the hell? Where in the world did that come from, she thought. She didn't care about the way he looked, most of the time. His violet hair colour was very unique but was who he was, she couldn't imagine him with any other hair colour or hair type for that matter. He wouldn't look good with short hair. His light brown eyes were perfect on him as well. He wasn't just tall, he was muscular as he played sports and experienced the several types of dance he enjoyed. Because of this and his charm, he was popular—he could never miss a girl like her, she wasn't that special.
Not as special as he was…
She had to get these thoughts out of her head. She pulled out a case from under her bed and lay down comfortably before opening the case and grabbed her gag manga to distract herself until she fell asleep.
Well that was this first chapter, hoped you enjoyed it!
Wasn't that interesting? Haha…
So REMEMBER to REVIEW if you want the NEXT CHAPTER :D
