Hehe... I know Kaji and Tsujiai couldn't have been that mean... but who
knows? No one has seen them as 6th graders yet...
Chapter 2
"Nina, did you put rocks in here?" Ayu grunted, dragging her friend's suitcase along. It was an act of friendship for them-Nina would carry her bags, and Ayu would carry Nina's. It was kind of weird, but the girls liked it and kept it as a secret sign that they were best friends.
"No, but I think you put cement in here!" her friend giggled. Ayu shook her head and trudged on. "Come on, why couldn't we have gotten someone else to bring our bags down?" she mumbled to herself.
Nina's face brightened. "Look, there's the place where we show our boarding passes and get in!" she exclaimed. She grabbed Ayu's hand, dragging her along. Flashing her boarding pass at the guard, she rushed on.
"Let's get into our seats, quick!" her friend giggled, and Ayu laughed. "Are you that eager to go? Well then, sit still and sleep. We don't want to have jetlag, do we?" she said.
Nina nodded and leaned her head back. In a few minutes she was asleep. Ayu smiled and shook her head. "Amazing." She muttered. She began wondering on how Boracay would look like...
The next thing she knew, she had woken up, and the plane was taxiing down the runway. She sat bolt upright. They were in the Philippines! Looking out of the window, she could see a big building.
Ooc: I have NO idea what airport is near Boracay. So I'll just make it up....
Ayu nudged Nina. Her friend woke up, rubbing her eyes. "We're here already?" she asked, and Ayu nodded. "What's next then?" she asked.
Ayu thought for a moment. "We're going to take a boat to the island. Then we have to check in at the..." she paused for a moment to remember the resort's name. "Oh yeah. We have to check in at the Sea Wind resort." She said.
They came down from the plane and traveled a bit with a taxi that their parents had hired, and soon they arrived at the seaside. Several boats were tied to the edge.
Ayu and Nina gave their bags to one of the boatmen, and then a boatman helped them onto a weird-looking boat. (bangka! Lol) The boat had big, bent poles sticking out of the sides, and many odd poles connected to that.
They sat uncomfortably on a seat, putting on life vests they had bought for themselves. The boatman had offered to lend them some, but they declined.
Nina leaned out precariously, and suddenly threw off her life vest. "I don't like this stupid thing." She said, but Ayu kept hers on as the boat skimmed over the waves. Better to be safe than sorry.
Nina squealed as they bounced over waves. "This is so fun!" she said happily. Ayu smiled.
Suddenly the boat tipped wildly to one side. Nina was thrown over the edge. Even as Ayu cried out, the boatmen didn't notice. They were too busy calming the others. Ayu gasped. Nina didn't know how to swim!
Suddenly a flash of movement caught her eye. A tall, lean boy stripped off his shoes and made a perfect dive into the water. With long, practiced strokes, he swam directly to Nina.
Nina gazed up at the black-haired boy. She had seen him before... but she couldn't quite remember. She smiled wordlessly, but his face remained emotionless as he helped her swim back to the boat. As she climbed aboard, Ayu smiled and winked at her.
The boy shrugged off Nina's thank-you's and walked back to his seat. Ayu and Nina stared at the boy beside him. A brown-haired one was seated next to him. The two boys chatted with each other, laughing occasionally.
Before they had more time to think, their boat was banking at the edge of an island. Ayu smiled and stood. The boatmen happily let the two princesses go first.
"Um, excuse me Mister, but where's Sea Wind resort?" Nina asked awkwardly as she stepped off the boat. The man looked at her, confused. "Doon, sa may tabi ng mga tent." He said. (FILIPINO!!!)
Ayu cocked her head to one side. "Huh?" she asked, knowing he had spoken Filipino. "Oh, I wish I had studied Filipino before I came here!" she said.
"Need help?" someone said behind her. The voice was vaguely familiar... but Ayu couldn't quite place it. She spun around, coming face-to-face with a handsome, brown-haired boy. His eyes were deep and soulful, snagging Ayu's attention the minute she saw him.
"Uh... hi." She said nervously, and then regained her composure, flashing a grin. "Do you know where the Sea Wind resort is?" she asked. The boy nodded and smiled back at her. "Yup. It's where my friend and I are staying. Why, are you girls going there as well?" he asked.
Ayu nodded. Nina finally noticed her talking to the boy and ran up, smiling. "Hi, I'm..." she started, but then suddenly her eyes widened. Behind the brown-haired boy, the same tall, lean person who had saved her walked up. The two boys and the two girls stared at each other.
"Hiroki... this was the girl you saved, right?" the brown-haired boy asked. The raven-haired boy nodded.
"Ayu, that's the guy who saved me!" Nina cried. Ayu nodded.
"What? Your name is Ayu?" the brown-haired boy asked. He stared at her. Ayu nodded shakily. "Your name is Hiroki???" Nina shouted at the black-haired boy. He nodded.
"Then you must be Tetsushi." Ayu said, voice quivering. "You must be Nina and Ayu." Hiroki said. The two boys and two girls nodded simultaneously.
Ayu felt as if she was going to faint.
