"Why'd you come to America?" she asked, curiosity getting the best of her. Amu was quiet for a minute, wondering if she should answer the question honestly.
"I'm... I'm looking for someone. And he's most likely here." she replied, deciding for the honest route. The three girls were quite as they took in this news, and looked at Amu. It was Skye who decided to speak up.
"To move to a country that's across the world, this must be one important someone." she said slowly, carefully wording her statement. Amu looked at her, a half smile on her face, and nodded.
"Yeah, he is." she said, sparking the girls interest even more. Era looked at her, and smiled knowingly.
"So, do you, like, love this person?" Era asked, though the look in her eyes said she already knew the answer.

Amu was silent for a long time, in both shock and thought. Did she love him? Or was he just a friend she dearly missed? Skye bit her lip, eyeing Amu nervously.
"You don't have to answer, Amu. It's okay, Era gets ahead of herself sometimes." Skye said quickly, hoping to end the awkward silence. Amu blinked, and shook her head.
"No, it's fine⦠To answer your question, Era, yes. I do love him." she smiled as she spoke, the words sounding so perfect to her. She remembered what he had told her when he left, that he loved her. And he'd make her fall in love with him. Era let out a relieved sigh, and smiled wide.
"That's great! What's he like? Tall, dark, and handsome? Jock? Emo?" Era gushed, feeling so much closer to Amu now. Amu laughed, and looked out the window, up to the sunny sky.
"Tall, dark, and handsome. He plays violin. He's beyond amazing at it." Amu said, her voice tender. Jade smiled.
"He can't be too hard to find, you know. Not that many classical violin players around. Maybe in the city there are more, but not many." Jade said, tilting her head to the side slightly. Amu shrugged.
"You'd think. I've been here a month, and I still haven't found him." Amu reasoned, to which the girls nodded.
"What's his name? My brother works in the city during the week, I can ask him to listen out for his name." Silver suggested, and Amu smiled.
"Ikuto. He's a few years older than me." Amu replied, and Silver nodded.
"Pretty sure I'll forget that by time I talk to Elliot again, but I'll try to remember." Silver smiled, and Amu laughed.
"Ask me anytime if you forget." she replied, a lopsided grin on her face. Silver nodded, looking out the window.
The girls were so engrossed in their conversation, they didn't notice that Mia had appeared next to their table.
"Skye, Era. Mom want's you to head to the salon to clean up. Mall's closing soon." Mia said, waving to the other girls she didn't address. The twins reluctantly got up, waving bye and promising to see them in the morning. Mia smiled at them all before turning to follow her sisters.
"Well, my mom's here. I'm taking you home, right, Jade?" Silver stood, grabbing her bag from under her chair. Jade nodded, standing up, too.
"I'm sure Ms. Hannah can give you a ride home, too." Jade said to Amu, who looked up at her in surprise.
"Oh, no. I'd hate to be a bother. I can just call my room mate to pick me up." Amu smiled, holding up her phone.
"It'd be fine, you know. Ms. Hannah is cool. But, if you're sure, see you at school tomorrow." Jade smiled, waving bye and following Silver out of the mall. Amu grabbed her bag, and walked outside, dialing her room mates number.
"Hey, I need to get picked up. Care to test out your driving skills?" Amu asked her room mate, smiling as she walked to a bench.
In about ten minutes, her room mates car pulled up next to her. Amu grinned and waved, walking to the car. She tossed her stuff into the backseat, and sat in the comfortable car.
"You're finding someone else to pick you up next time." the girl next to her said simply as Amu settled. Amu laughed.
"Of course, Utau. Of course."
