Chapter 4!
So, I sorta had trouble with this one because of Ayame's character. I sorta have her character and stuff worked out, but apparently not completely so if in future chapters (or past chapters), the way she acts is like a split personality type thing (like acts one way, then another way), I'm sorry.
There's a swear.
Um... Oh yeah! I probably won't be updating everyday anymore since I have to both write and edit the chapters and since the whole character thing is how it is, I'll have to spend extra time working on it. Plus I have another fanfic that I need to work on as well. Sorry guys!
Hope you like the chapter!
Enjoy!
Darkness. That was the first thing Ayame noticed when she opened her eyes. She sat up. How long was she asleep? She grabbed her phone and checked the time. 2am. Her mom was probably asleep by now. She tucked her phone into her jean pocket and grabbed a black bag and put the strap on her shoulder.
The streets were empty. It was quiet. Ayame opened the door to a small café near her house that was open 24/7.
"Hi Ayame." The girl at the counter greeted.
"Hey." Ayame greeted back.
"I'll get the drink to you in a minute."
Ayame was always coming here. And she got the same thing every time. She sat down at a table and took out her notebook.
"Couldn't sleep?"
Ayame looked up and saw the girl with her drink.
"Nah, I took a nap. I missed dinner though."
The girl put the cup down on the table and left. She came back a few minutes later with a sandwich and a slice of cake.
"Thanks Rin." Ayame said as she took a sip of her drink.
Ayame almost did a spit take when she saw Takashi Morinozuka. She raised an eyebrow. What would a rich kid be doing here at this hour? She closed her notebook and walked over. She tapped him on the shoulder. Mori turned and was surprised when he saw Ayame.
"What're you doing here?" Ayame asked.
Mori lifted his cup.
"Why?"
Mori shrugged. He didn't quite know. All he knew was that he couldn't sleep and that he decided to go out.
"…Why are you here?"
"I missed dinner so I decided to get something." Ayame shrugged. She looked around the café then turned back to Mori.
"Wanna sit with me?" Ayame asked. Mori nodded and followed Ayame back to her table.
Rin walked over, smirking. "What's this? The loner with someone? The bitch that rejects everyone with a friend?"
"Shut up Rin." Ayame shot Rin a glare. Rin laughed and walked away, shaking her head.
Mori was confused about what Rin had just said about Ayame. Ayame was quiet, awkwardly sipping her drink, avoiding eye contact. A guy she barely knew now knew that she rejected everyone.
Ayame set her drink down and looked out the window. "It's raining now."
Mori turned. They watched the rain pour from the sky.
"You have to walk home in all that?" Ayame asked. Mori nodded.
"That sucks. Here." Ayame got up and got an umbrella from behind the counter. She handed it him, "It's mine… but you can borrow it."
"Thanks."
Ayame nodded.
"Hey! Ayame! 3am! Get home!" Rin called. Ayame stuck her tongue out. "See you at school tomorrow."
Ayame was about to leave when Rin grabbed her and dragged her into the kitchen.
"Rin!" Ayame complained.
"Who is that? Your boyfriend? Wait… You started being social?" Rin asked.
"As if. I'm not a people person. But… He's different…"
"How?"
"He… He didn't yell at me…" Ayame said.
Rin raised her eyebrows as Ayame walked away.
'Didn't yell at her?' Rin thought to herself as she cleaned up Ayame's table.
Saturday. The boringest day of the week besides Sunday. Ayame was bored. Being anti-social did have a few negative things about it. Not having anything to do on the weekend was one of them. She looked over and saw her mom and her mom's NEW boyfriend walk in. How depressing, her mother had a better social life than she did.
"Ayame, your father is coming to pick you up in an hour." Ayame's mother said.
"What?" Ayame shot up, "Why?"
"He said something about father daughter bonding."
"I don't need to bond!" Ayame said and got up. She left the room, grumbling to herself.
"Your daughter seems like a lovely girl." Mrs. Satou's boyfriend said. Mrs. Satou laughed.
An hour and a half later, Ayame and her father were walking around a mall.
"I'll get you anything you want, dear." Her father said.
Ayame nodded, not really caring.
"Hey, Kyouya, isn't that Ayame?" Tamaki asked Kyouya, who he had dragged to the mall with him. Kyouya looked over and nodded.
"What's she doing here?"
Kyouya shrugged.
"Should we go over?"
Kyouya shrugged again. Tamaki grabbed Kyouya's wrist began to make their way over.
"So, Ayame, have you been practicing guitar?"
"Not really." Ayame replied.
"Oh… Really?"
Ayame nodded.
"Why? Lose interest?"
"I stopped when you moved away." Ayame replied. Suddenly, Mr. Satou felt guilty.
"Look, Ayame, I know the divorce was hard on you, but it just didn't work between your mom and I." Mr. Satou tried to explain.
"I know, why else would you two have divorced?" Ayame said.
"Ayame!" Tamaki greeted. Ayame turned and raised an eyebrow.
"Friends of yours?" Mr. Satou asked.
"Not really." Ayame answered.
"I'm Tamaki Suoh, I'm in Ayame's class. And this is Kyouya Otori, he's also in our class."
"Nice to meet you two."
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Satou." Tamaki smiled.
Mr. Satou turned to his daughter, "You have nice friends."
"They're not my friends."
"Why don't you boys hang out with us?"
"Terrible idea, Dad."
"Sure! That'd be fun!" Tamaki replied.
Ayame groaned and started walking. The three boys started after her.
"Aya! Wait!" Mr. Satou called but Ayame kept going, faster than before. Mr. Satou stopped walking and sighed. Tamaki and Kyouya stopped next to him.
"She's always like that." Mr. Satou said with a slight chuckle.
Tamaki looked forward at Ayame who had finally stopped and was looking back at them.
"Like what?" Tamaki asked.
"Never listens. Stubborn." Mr. Satou replied, shaking his head, a small smile on his face.
"She sure is an interesting person." Tamaki chuckled, thinking back to when she first visited the host club.
Mr. Satou looked at Tamaki, "Yeah, she is."
The three began to walk again, Ayame stayed where she was.
"Do you two mind staying by her side? Being her friends?" Mr. Satou asked, "I just want her to be happy."
Tamaki nodded, "We'll stay by her. We promise."
"Thanks."
Ayame and her father were sitting in a restaurant. Tamaki and Kyouya had left already.
"So, how's school going?"
"I got detention in my first week." Ayame answered, taking a bite of her dessert.
"How?" Mr. Satou asked, surprised.
"I was throwing cake."
Mr. Satou shook his head, "You can't keep getting into trouble."
Ayame didn't reply. Her father sighed and asked for the check.
And now Tamaki and Ayame are friends! (a one sided friendship XD)
And yes, Ayame's mother has a new boyfriend...
I don't know why Mori went to a cafe! I just think cafes are cool and could totally help with bonding, especially at night!
