Amu

I've never told anyone this, at least not all of it.

I would write it, except according to Miki and Utau my writing "really sucks, no offense, Amu, but it's kind of true," so I am handing the honor of logging the adventure to my friends.

Oh, and no matter what Ikuto says, we did NOT have a steamy make-out session in the Seiyo girls' bathroom.

Rima

It was a typical day for the Seiyo Jr. High Guardians. Kairi was busy lecturing Yaya's ear off on the consistency of the fluff inside teddy bears, Yaya was busy ignoring Kairi and begging Amu for candy, Amu was busy reviewing some field trip waivers for the 6th graders, and Tadase was busy sitting at the table awkwardly.

Me? I was busy secretly reading the newest gag comic under the table and pretending I was studying my science textbook.

"According to my data, the fluff is made up of 18% polyester—" Kairi began.

"Shut up! You're nothing like Kukai!" Yaya shrieked at Kairi, her patience with him evidently worn.

"According to my data, I'm not Kukai," Kairi said. "I am Kairi Sanjo."

Just then, wouldn't you know, Mr. I-Think-I'm-So-Awesome-I-Crossdress walked into the Royal Garden.

"Oh, look who decided to show up fifteen minutes late," I muttered, eyeing the violet-haired boy.

"It's not my fault," he insisted. "The basketball coach made me stay late so he could go over some moves."

Of course he would take the opportunity to bring up the fact that he was the star player on the Seiyo Jr. High basketball team.

"Shut up," I retorted.

"Oooohh, that really hurt, Mashiro, your comebacks are so creative and deadly," he teased. Feeling my cheeks warm up, I threw my gag comic at him.

It was satisfying to see him hop around clutching his swollen cheek cussing for the next five minutes.

Later that night, Amu called me in a frenzy. "Ohmigosh, Rima, check your email!"

"Why?" I asked her suspiciously.

"Just check it, I emailed you a link and it's a story about you and Nagi!"

I opened up the internet browser, shrugging. I was quite sure Amu wouldn't email me a virus. I just prayed it wasn't a link to some stupid video on cute kittens.

Scanning the title, I found that it was a fanfic on Amu and I titled "OMG IS RIMAHIKO THE NEXT BIG THING?" on our school website. Someone had started a gossip blog, and she/he claimed that information had been obtained that proved Nagihiko and I were Seiyo's first Guardian couple. Puh-lease. Hadn't they ever noticed Amu and Tadase back in fifth grade?

Calling Amu on the telephone, I began shrieking when she picked up. "Who wrote this? First off, I am so not in love with Nagihiko. Second off, what the HELL?"

"Your second point wasn't actually a legitimate argument—" Amu started. I cut her off.

"Amu, use your womanly charms to convince Kairi to hack into the school website so he can figure out who's doing this and shut it down!"

"What charms?" Miki, Ran, and Su asked in unison.

"Anyways, Kairi is so obviously in love with Yaya now," Amu mumbled. I thought I heard slight envy in her voice. Don't tell me Amu likes Kairi, that nerd.

"Whatever, just try your best, okay?" I hung up before she could respond.

Shooting invisible death rays at the blog, I stabbed the red X in the corner of the internet browser, wishing I could do the same to the writer of the website.

Because? Nagihiko and I? Yeah, right.
