Recap
"Amu-chan, are you busy later?" I asked leaning on my desk eating my fruit salad "n-no b-b-but I-I-I couldn't p-p-possibly m-mix work-k-k and r-relationship M-Mr. Souma!" she said shaking her head and turning a vibrant red. I laughed at her stuttering and shyness "No Amu-chan I meant would you like to go to a restaurant with me and my friends? I consider you a new friend and I would like you to meet mine" she stared at me shocked for at least 30 seconds before I cleared my throat "U-umm, we just met are you sure you want me tagging along with you and your friends?" she asked shyly and somewhat sadly "nonsense I'm sure they'd love to meet you. So will you come?" I stood there waiting for an answer for what seemed like hours.
"Yes I'd love too...Souma-kun"

I paced around my small apartment wondering what to wear to dinner with my bosses friends. Why did I agree too this in the first place? I was never good at first impressions I just remember my job interview for personal assistant...

"So Amu what do YOU think qualifies you for this job?" a spiky guy with orange hair asked me "Well Senior Souma-kun..." SENIOR? Why did I say that? He isn't even Spanish oh god he's looking at me strangely! Create a distraction! "I have an announcement to make!" I suddenly get up and put my hand over my heart "I was originally born in Canada and must complete my daily ritual of singing the national anthem!" I yelled...Canada? That's the best I could come up with? CANADA! I don't even know the national anthem! "Oh I spent a summer there for business and we saw a crowd of people singing the national anthem. So I would love to hear it again...go ahead!" he was smiling and waiting for me to begin "...I have to pee" I walked out without looking him in the eye and practically ran to the bathroom.
"Get it together Amu!" I threw water on my face I starter hyperventilating. What is the matter with me! I never acted like this normally it's just being interrogated about what my expectations are and my qualifications I couldn't take it! I got out my iPhone and called my mother.
Ring ring
?: Hello?
Amu: Okaa-san it's horrible!
Amu's Mother: Amu? What happened are you alright?
Amu: I'm screwing up my job interview!
Amu's Mother: Oh, I'm sure that's not true!
Amu: It is! There was a question about Canada and the smoked turkey! And then the summer visitation and the nation anthem! I babbled on to my mother tears starting to form in my eyes.
Amu's mother: just go in there and be the 'cool and spicy' Amu that always gets what she wants!
Amu: Ehh? Your right Okaa-san! I have to go talk to you tonight!
Full of confidence I walked right out if the bathroom and headed towards Kukai's office, YEAH I call him Kukai's now! Time to take the GR off my grattitude and give that old bastard some attitude, AMU style!
I marched into the room and swung the door open he looked shocked at my assertiveness I can't go back now "This is what's going to happen! You are going to give me this Job for double the money! I'm going to work my ass off! And you're going to APPRECIATE me spending my time here! Are we clear?" I stared him down I'm going to win this!
Kukai's Pov
Is this girl crazy? My hand wondered over to the button under my desk pressed it "Yeah Grace can you call security? ...Great" I stared at her and her face went pale "No wait please" she sat down quickly. The security was just out side the door I waved them off they groaned but eventually left. "I just...ummm Hire me please?" she said while looking down I thought she was a bit of a fruit cake but I didn't have any other candidates, who knows maybe she'll be entertaining "Fine" I said she looked at me pure shock in her eyes "REALLY?" she stood up knocking down her chair "You start tomorrow 7:30am come to me directly T-Thanks..." Hinamori then ran out the room a happy smile on her face. I laughed at the strange girl this was going to be a fun time!

I finally found the perfect dress it was a simple plaid dress that had black ruffles at the end and cut off just above my chest. I hugged the dress to me thankful I found something to wear. I know I shouldn't be over reacting to the point where I spend an hour and a half looking for a dress for at most a 2 hour dinner. I looked around aimlessly clearing stumped on what I was forgetting….Shoes! I dived back into my wardrobe before I settled for 2 and a half black heels I checked over myself in the mirror before curling my hair towards my face so it didn't look like I put too much effort into it I placed a clip with a small Clover and Diamond on the left side of my hair while putting a clip with a small Club and Heart on the right side of my heart. I looked good, and I was ready to go.
I looked at my phone to re-read the address I was given if I was in the right place then I was far too over dressed I went into the restaurant while the neon 'Barry's Pancakes and Chili-Fries' gave my dress a blue glow.
I spotted my boss who was wearing black jeans and a T-shirt that said 'Death is winning, Do something' with a red fist on it any other time I would have thought he looked rather awesome but I was too embarrassed for over-dressing. I blushed and headed over to the ground of three.
'' Hello, nice to meet you! '' I bowed to a Babyish-looking girl my boss Mr. Souma and a short girl with long flowing blond hair. I stood up abruptly after bowing for three seconds ''Too formal Amu-chi! Just sit!'' the girl with her hair in brown pigtails said to me, she had a warm smile and kind eyes. Although wondering why this girl who so familiar with me and why she knew my first name I sat down gratefully.
''This is Rima-chan and I'm Yaya!'' She stood up even thought she was sitting in a booth and it must have been awkward. I stood up and shook her hand I then looked at the short blond girl ''Hello!'' I waved even though I was three feet away from her sitting in between Mr. Souma and the overly-friendly girl Yaya. ''you're a Tad over-dressed for this evening'' the girl said bluntly I sweat-dropped…..she didn't need to be so blunt about it. Not knowing what to say to that I looked down at my lap hoping the conversation would veer off of me. ''So who else is coming to this little soiree Mr. Souma?'' I asked mentally slapping myself for using the word 'Soiree' but luckily he didn't hold it against me ''Ikuto, Lulu-'' Everyone groaned at the mentioning of Lulus name ''what?'' I asked Rima-chan looked at me and pouted ''Lulu has to be one of the biggest handfuls of this centaury. All she does is bitch on and on if it isn't our food than it's our music and if she for some reason likes our music it's our taste in clothes or our hair styles'' she went on and on about her top 100 reasons for loathing Lulu I giggled when she starting miming her punching Lulu using Yaya teddy bear for an appropriate Lulu.
''So why do you put up with her?'' I asked ignoring the fact that I was starving and hadn't eaten all day ''She's Ikuto's girlfriend we have to'' She sighed I laughed and Mr. Souma laughed with me with Yaya was trying to pry her teddy out of Rima's tiny yet strong hands ''Rima-chan when am I going to me this cute girl you've been telling me so much about?'' Mr. Souma asked Rima-chan. She gave him an odd look and then a look of realization followed ''Ahh yes she a really cute blond long hair, her name is-'' suddenly the door to the restaurant opened and Ikuto and a few people followed behind him including someone with green hair and someone with long blond hair and green eyes and someone with short blond hair that was flicked up at the ends they walked over to us. I wonder how this night will go. I'm looking forward to the next two hours!

I sat on my bed sobbing while my punching my pillow I missed my phone and I couldn't collect it since it was Friday. I realized I hadn't eaten I held my stomach that was growling demanding to be fed. I sulked and punched my pillow going over one of the worst dinners of my life which included the time that I dated the guy who thought a good date with be watching all of the first season of Star Trek.

Ikuto and the two girls walked towards us I waved ''who is she?'' the girl with the blond hair that was flicked up I lowered my hand slightly embarrassed but I held my composure and sipped my water ''So I'd like to introduce Kami-chan'' The blond with long hair waist length hair bowed ''Nice to meet you all'' she had one black streak in her hair and was wearing a blue camisole that showed off her belly button ring and supper-skinny black jeans with white and sky-blue converse that matched her camisole perfectly. She looked us all over smiling at Mr. Souma which for some reason aggravated me. She glared at me we had a staring contest for at least twenty seconds you could cut the tension with a knife ''So why don't you all sit down?'' Mr. Souma said trying to lighten the tension with one of his goofy smiles. I went back to sipping my water.
''So-'' began Rima-chan ''Where's Nagi?'' Ikuto looked at her with a bored expression ''He's on his way with Tadase'' the girl who I can only presume was Lulu, held protectively to Ikuto's arm …We all sat in awkward silence for at least ten minutes just making awkward small talk. Kami and Mr. Souma seemed to me in their own world chatting away I pissed me off. Finally I broke the silence ''Ill go order what do you guys want?'' Everyone snapped out of their day dreams. Apart from Kami and Mr. Souma who where chatting animatedly. who just turned and looked at me. ''Give the girl a hand Ikuto, someone that frail and dumb cant possibly remember all of these orders I mean WHO gets a job as an assistant nowadays?'' Lulu said JUST loud enough for everyone at our table to hear. Ikuto's face held some annoyance that quickly vanished into a smirk ''Okay Lulu'' I blushed into a tomato red clearly upset ''w-what does everyone want?''
Mr. Souma looked at me concerned and so did Rima ''Ill help out Hinamori-san '' Kami said Mr. Souma looked at her with a smile. I walked over to the cashier/waiter trying not to forget the six orders in my head: Nagi will want Chili-fries with extra cheese and a bacon and cheese hamburger, Rima wants the same, Tadase wants the Barry's For One Box, Lulu was meant to get Roasted duck with raspberry glaze and a cheese soufflé and when I told her that they don't have it she commented that of course I should know the contents of the menu because of my dress size. I then looked down and headed towards the register tears forming in my eyes slightly.
I ordered everyone's food with Mr. Souma's credit card and went to the bathroom to get myself together while Kami and Ikuto served the food I entered the bathroom just as someone with Purple hair entered and sat next to Rima and a Blond princely-looking man took the seat I was sitting in. I sighed and splashed water on my face. I decided to just leave I was close to crying I was being insulted most of my night here and no one would even defend me I grabbed my purse and left the bathroom I dug around in my bag realizing that I left my Iphone on the table I walked over there hoping to be close to unnoticeable….No such luck.
''Guys this is Hinamori Amu my new assistant. Tadase and Nagi started staring me over with resulting to them both getting smacked upside the head by Rima ''Perverts'' she muttered ''Nice to meet you all but its late and I walked so I'd better get going'' I reached for my IPhone until Ikuto took it and stood up he walked over to stand right in between Lulu and Kami ''Reach for it'' I held it above my head. And since he was 6 foot or possibly more I had no chance of reaching it. I jumped up attempting to reach it. Lulu laughed at my inability to reach for it everyone at the table began to laugh even Ikuto who was still holding my IPhone above my head. Tears started to pool in my eyes…Everyone was laughing at me…this was one of the worst nights of my life.
I've been insulted all evening, I've been glared at, Been called dumb, Not been defended in the slightest, Been called fat, been looked over like a piece of meat and now my heel's been broken from trying to jump for my phone all of it added up….The tears that where pooling in my eyes previously came up again and started to drip down my cheeks until I was crying ''Look she's crying!'' Lulu laughed and pointed. Ikuto suddenly looked regretful along with most of the people at the table ''Amu-'' Mr. Souma began to speak but I didn't want to hear it. I ran out of the restaurant as fast as I could ignoring someone who was calling my name I ran all the way home and dived into my bed and began sobbing and punching my pillow.
