Warning: If you see the name Ami, dont get confused! That is Airi Irino, Akio's sister. I tried to take it out but if you find that mistake, tell me!

Here is the second chapter to the story. I know it's short but please bear with it. ENJOY

chapter 2 :Past

Mei woke up took a shower, got dressed, fed marshmallow, ate breakfast, and headed to school. When she arrived, she greeted her friends and noticed that her new boyfriend wasn't there so she asked Ami for his whereabouts.

''Dunno but he did come to school, and wait, I don't see Daiki here either. I think Akio got jealous and is probably having a talk with Daiki.''

''I hate how they just fight all the time though. Do you think that they'll ever get along?''
''They'll get along eventually but look on the bright side, if Daiki hadn't come to our school Akio wouldn't have had the guts to ever ask you out, I mean you do like him do you?''

''Well yea.'' she had to admit that they would never be together without Daiki's help and made a mental note to thank him later.

''But there are cuter guys than my brother that asked you out, I don't know why you even rejected them.'' Mei looked at Airi and rolled her eyes playfully. Of course Airi would say something like that. "If I tell you all the juicy details, will you leave stop pestering me about the subject?"

''Yes! All right, go ahead.'' she waved her arms around telling Mei to go ahead and tell her everything, she wanted to know. ''OK well, in preschool I was really excited to go meet new people but when I saw your brother sitting there hiding his face in his arms, I knew i had to ask him if he was OK and he finally opened up to me."
''Next, I offered him to make a promise and he said okay so then we promised that we would always be friends and he told me about how you went to a different class and he was all alone, the rest is history but after years of spending time with him, I started to like him and I couldn't go out with anyone else.'' Mei was smiling as she reminisced the old days. She was happy to have met Akio that day.

"Oh, so that's what happened. Huh, I never thought my brother would open up to someone that fast I remember when he introduced you to me when we were kids. I was shocked you could make him open up to you that fast." Airi said still fascinated at how Mei was so likable. "It's sad how those girls treated you. When you stopped talking to us, Akio was upset. He was mad that those girls did that to you." Mei's face turned sour after that day was mentioned, she didn't like to think about the subject. "Yea I guess but I'm thankful to have friends like you guys. You guys brought me out of my shell after that. I don't think I would be as happy as I am today if it weren't for you guys. For that, thank you" Airi smiled at her and said, "Of course! I wouldn't let you down, you needed to know that even if there were people out there that were mean, it wouldn't mean that everyone was like that. But you're not the only one to be thankful. I'm thankful to have you as a friend as well, never doubt that."

Just then, Akio came in and explained that he was out getting something done and asked what they were talking about. Ami scolded her brother for not telling her about their promise while Akio just rubbed his hand on the back of his head. He told her that the promise didn't really concern her and that was the reason as to why he didn't tell her. This caused Airi to slap his arm and her brother rubbed his arm in fake hurt. The situation had made Mei laugh because they were arguing and looking ridiculous. The two asked her why she was laughing which made her laugh even more. That's when the two realized how foolish they were acting like and they laughed along with her.

After school ended, Akio and Mei were walking home alone together since Airi had to attend a club activity. When they arrived at her house, she asked Akio if he wanted to come in and have something to drink. When he agreed, Mei led him inside and told him to sit down and wait for her to bring the drinks. Suddenly he heard a scream coming from Mei and went running to were she was to help her. When he arrived he saw...


I know this was a bad way to end a short chapter but this is all I could come up with when I wrote this and I'm only editing right now and only adding things if I think it is absolutely necessary. I'm happy that I'm finally updating in a short time after updating the last one but I honestly don't think that will last. I hope you enjoyed the chapter even if it was really short. Until next time!
