Author's Note: Hey everyone! I'm back, and more than ready to write. I've spent the past few months with writer's block. It was terrible. I would spend days on one chapter, only to delete it. Anyway, the important thing is that I'm back with a brand-new fanfic! I know Rima and Yaya are slightly OOC, but it's been a while. What can I say? Without a further ado, I present to you the teaser/pilot chapter of Just Her Luck!

"-and it's not fair, Rima-chi! Nikaidō-sensei's making us write three reports! It's Golden Week; we shouldn't have to waste it on homework," Yaya complained loudly.
"Hmm," Rima agreed absently. "Yeah..."
The brunette puffed up her cheeks, frustrated. She wasn't even listening! She followed her friend's gaze, only to find that Rima was staring intensely at one Fujisaki Nagihiko.
"Ne, Rima-chi, what are you staring at?" Yaya asked mischievously.
"N-Nothing!" the blonde uncharacteristically stuttered. "I'm staring at that...uh...lamppost!"
"Well, does that lamppost happen to have long purple hair and hazel eyes?" she giggled.
If anything, Rima's blush intensified with each word. Was she that obvious that Yaya, of all people, had caught her staring?
"Do you lo-ove him?" Yaya asked. "Aww, Rima-chi's got a cr-ushhhh!"
"Yes, Yaya. I like him and want nothing more than to lock him in my closet for the rest of eternity. Now shut up before he hears you," Rima scowled.
"Uh...Rima-chi?" the brunette gestured.
"What?" she snapped.
"Hears what, Rima-chan?" The blonde's blood turned cold at the sound of his voice. Great, out all the times he could have eavesdropped, why did he have to chose this one?
"Crap," Rima muttered to herself. "Stupid Fujisaki – you alway have to overcomplicate things, don't you?"
She slowly turned around to face him, her heart pounding. Now, Rima wasn't one of those girls who tended to overreact over the simplest things, but this...this was just awkward.
"Hears about Yaya's little brother's...birthday," the blonde lied lamely. "He's turning two this year. We were thinking about throwing him a birthday party."
"Cool," Nagihiko smiled. "When's his birthday?"
"April thirtieth, but we're going to celebrate it on the second," Yaya informed. "It's going to be so much fun! Do you want to help, Nagi?"
"Sure," the purple-haired boy nodded. "I'd love to help."
"Great." Rima forced a smile. "Can't wait."
"Hey Nagi! Hurry up, would you? I'm starving!" called one of Nagihiko's friends, a lanky red-haired boy he had met on the basketball team.
"I'm coming, Arashi-kun," he replied. "Bye Rima-chan, Yaya-chan."
Nagihiko waved before returning to his friends' side. The moment he left, Rima let out the breath she hadn't known she had held.
"Rima-chi's in lo-oveeeeeeeee!" Yaya crowed, a wide grin spreading across her face. "Rima-chi's in lo-oveeeeeeeee!"
"Yaya, shut up!" Rima hissed urgently. "You'd better not tell anyone."
"Don't worry, Rima-chi! Yaya won't tell anyone that you like Nagi!" the brunette all but shouted.
"YAYA!"
