Five Coincidences

Chapter 2: OMG! Van's P.O.V.

As soon as we got into the school, a swarm of fan girls approached us like wildfire! We were bombarded with 'I love you's' and 'I dream about you every night's' I could have sworn I saw a girl faint in the midst of it all. I look around to find Mo, but she was to busy trying to give autographs. Jade was giving out V.I.P tickets to a park concert we were having this weekend, and Naiomi was trying to claw her way to classes with Ivette on her shoulders. I thought for a minute and decided to do the next best thing: run! I grabbed Mo's hand and we ran into a locker. The shadows danced on the mahogany locker and when we were sure that the girls were gone we jumped out of the locker, but we collided with a cross-dressing girl.

"Mo, why is the room spinning?"

"Nothing is spinning…Van…VAN!"

After what seemed to be an hour, I had woken up in the nurse's office. 'Dammit, my head is pounding! How did I get here and where is Mo?' I made sure that I wasn't paralyzed like the horror movies and slowly sat up. That's when the real pain began. I rubbed my forehead very gently just to make sure, I didn't have a concussion, but in my peripheral view, I saw the girl that I had crashed into and a table overflowing with flowers, chocolates and cards. I decided to lie back down, but then a group of people came in.

"Van, are you okay?" Ivette asked, almost in tears.

"Mom, said she was gonna take you to the doctors when you get home" stated Mo, probably happy because she wasn't going to get a shot.

"We might have to take a break from practice for a day" I would've kicked Jade, but I didn't have the energy to do it.

"If you need anything, just text us. We're not going anywhere. Right you guys?" I mentally laughed, but stopped when a hand was in my view.

I looked over to see the "boy's" hand. "Hi! I'm Haruhi". I was dumbfounded. This was the same person who caused me to almost have a concussion, and now they want to befriend me. I let out my best smile and said "Nice to meet you, Haruhi. My name is Vanaja. Say, you look a little familiar? Have we meet before?" Haruhi looked at me smiling and so did Mo. I was about to smack her in the face when Haruhi finally spoke. "It's really sad you don't remember your own cousin. Jeez!" Haruhi teased me as memories of building sandcastles and swinging on the swing sets flooded back into my mind. "I'm glad I got to school early enough not to miss any of my classes." The nurse said I was all good to go and that if I had any other problems, I was allowed to come back. Once we said our good-byes, Haruhi walked me and Mo to our class, seeing as we had most of our classes together. Upon reaching our first class, two orange haired guys were waiving like crazy to Haruhi. By the look of her face, she wasn't happy to see them at all. Their attention was turned to me and Mo. "Haruhi, I can't believe you ditched us for a new set of twins!" one of them said dramatically. "Drama queen…" I mumbled under my breath. "Hikaru, Karou, these are my cousins, Mohini and Vanaja. Mo and Van for short. By the way Haruhi said their names, they didn't look innocent at all. "Mo and Van, you can blame these to for me running into you and causing your infirmary visit this morning." I looked at them with rage. "You're the people who did this to me! Thanks to you, I have to go to the doctor's office and get a shoot for this! Crap!" Mo took my shoulders and rushed me into the classroom. "Careful, when you're angry, we both know anything could happen." That was true. My anger bought out the worst in me, and most of the time it got me into some serious trouble. We took a seat in front of Haruhi and got out our books. For once, I felt a little relieved. "Hey Haruhi, can we come over to your house today?" Mo asked innocently. "I don't see why not." Hikaru and Karou's mouth went off. "That's not fair! When we asked you, you told us no! But for some strange reason you tell them yes!" Hikaru said. Mo stood up and got in his face. "Did you not hear her the first time? We're her cousins! So we can come and go as we please then you very much!" Karou started rambling on about the study of Japanese honorifics while Hikaru was throwing a million and one paper balls. "Haruhi, what's going on?" I asked in a hushed tone. "Follow me after school, I'll tell you then." She didn't sound too happy about that last part. That and she slumped down in her chair a little bit. As the teacher walked in the class quickly quieted down. She was a middle aged woman in her mid-twenties; she had a black striped jacket on top of a white T-shirt, the same black striped pattern on her skirt, and black high heels. Her hair was bright brown and let out and she wore glasses. I had a feeling that most of the guys in the class weren't paying attention to what she was saying at all. Perverts! "Hello class! My name is Miss. Judai and the only reason I say that is because we have two new faces! Girls, why don't you come up and introduce yourselves!" Mo and I hopped, skipped, and jumped on a few desks to reach the top. The class gave us a round of applause, even Haruhi. "My name is Mohini, but you can call me Mo!" I went next. "And my name is Vanaja, but please calls me Van. We're the Piya sisters! And we'll be providing all your entertainment needs throughout the year!" We bowed and the class was clapping so loudly you could hear it up on the second floor! We turned around and went back to our seats. "Thank you girls for that lovely and entertaining welcome! Since it's the first day back, we won't be doing anything, class. So, feel free to do whatever for the next fifteen minutes!" Miss. Judai retuned to the teacher's lounge to take a break before the next periods student came in. Hikaru took Mo's hand and tried to enchant her, but that only ended up with a red mark on his left cheek. "Dammit! You hit hard!" He stayed behind Karou, who stayed behind Haruhi because he was afraid of getting my back-hand. "So, Jade told me about your concert this weekend. Can my dad and I come?" At that moment, I remembered that I was supposed to give Haruhi something. "Haruhi, our parents wanted us to stay with you while we're in Japan. I forgot to give you this letter. Go on and read. And you can totally come to the concert!" I put my headphones in my ears and listened to 'So Alone' by Anna Blue while she started reading the note.

Dear Ranka Fujioka,

Seeing as how we cannot come to Japan for certain reasons, we ask that you take in Mohini and Vanaja until the scholarship is complete. We will send over money for the girls each month, so you will not have to worry about that. If the girls get into any trouble, you have full rights to punish them as they please. Also, make sure that Van takes her vitamins EVERYDAY! Thank you for honoring our request. Bye-bye!

Sincerely, the Piya's

P.S. Tell Haruhi we said Hi'!

Haruhi looked up and saw that Mo was playing paper football with the twins and took a headphone out of my ear. I literally jumped up, and Mo was doubled over in laughter. I was pissed. "What?" I snapped. Haruhi looked at me with that face and I quickly composed myself. "Did you take your vitamins?" I nodded and went back to listening to my music. My whole body was vibrating and Haruhi had to literally dig in my pockets to find my phone. I took it from her and read the texts.

From: Jade

To: Van

'How's class going so far?'

'Just listening to my Ipod, how 'bout you?'

'I just shut my teacher up! He turned a new shade of red. Like tomatoes…but redder!'

'LOL! Am I still gonna see you at music today?'

'It depends. Are you feeling well enough?'

'Hell yeah!'

'Then it's on, baby!'

'KK. TTYL!'

'TTYL!'

I closed my phone and noticed Karou was staring at me. I arched my brow and he waved it off. As the bell rang, I packed my stuff and high-fived a couple off guys on the way out of class. Geometry, here I come!
