Chapter 4: Blue guy 606's identity
"Aw man today's gonna suck BIIIG time!" Jayne said in a deeply depressed tone as her, Aki & Dominique were all leaning against the wall of their school entrance.
Dominique was looking up at the sky while Jayne spoke those depressing words, Anzu's month suspension was up and today was her first day back. One month had passed since Realistic-girl 412 & Blue guy 606 had begun their email relationship which grew into a deep, meaningful friendship that Aki, Jayne & Daisuke knew about a week after she declined going out for pizza. The three friends were glad that outcome from the "punishment" had grown into something meaningful and what Jayne & Daisuke had betted twenty bucks on; a possible romance.
When the girls spotted a lime-green sports convertible driving into the usual space it always does, they knew they would soon hear the shrieks of Motowa & Amiya greeting their leader of the pack.
"Oh goodie! The bitch is back!" Aki beamed sarcastically.
"Yes. Let the torture begin!" Dominique sarcastically retorted.
"Oh god, someone get me a gun so I can shoot myself in the head before I hear Anzu's bitchy comments!" Jayne pleaded while looking up to the sky.
A minute later when Anzu & her groupies walked past the trio, Anzu said something to her friends and quickly looked away from Dominique, who would've made her smirk had she not noticed the shape Anzu was in; her hair was down to cover most of her face, a blue Yankees cap, the correct presentation of the school uniform with even the skirt just below her knees, a simple denim jacket and a little bit of grey pencil eyeliner. The blonde stopped for a moment and walked up to Dominique, surprising everyone around her.
"Dominique, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for the way that I always treated you and I am sorry to you too, Jayne & Aki." Before the trio could say anything, Anzu ran off with her friends not too far.
"Wow that was weird!" Aki said shocked.
"I know for a moment she acted... like a human!" Jayne exclaimed, but Dominique said nothing as she watched Anzu with her friends.
"She's like me," Dominique softly whispered as a sad smile stained her features.
"What? Trust me, you are NOTHING like that bitch!" Hikari argued.
"You're wrong Aki. She's EXACTLY like me, I just never thought about it until now. When I was fourteen, I was the most popular girl in all of the school but I was the bitchiest as well. I bet everyone felt the same way as me as they feel about Anzu now. That would hurt knowing that but to still go through the day with your head held high, that takes some real balls."
Jayne & Aki both nodded their heads to try and show their acknowledgement, but they both knew that they would never truly understand and although she may have been like that when she was fourteen, they knew that she had matured. She had become realistic and maybe it wasn't one of the best things to posses at times of contemplation & revelations, but it wasn't better than being fucking naive about the situation.
The German's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when her phone announced that she had received an email, smiling at the news, she told her friends that she would meet them in class and walked to the table underneath the big cherry blossom tree. The young girl sat down and read her message by accessing the internet connection on her phone and she smiled when she read the message.
Blue guy 606: U kno it's bn 4eva since we last talked. It's starting 2 make me think that u're tryin 2 avoid me!
Realistic-girl 412: Well i'm sorry, do u suggest that we should now talk b4, during & after skool non-stop?
Blue guy 606: Hmmm i was thinking that we should also talk instead of sleeping, who needs the 9hrs of unconsciousness?
Realistic-girl 412: Lol i do or else i'll neva b able 2 get my beauty sleep!
Blue guy 606: I'm sure u're beautiful without it but i won't kno until i c u. When do u think we could finally meet?
Dominique blushed at the first sentence but later frowned at Blue guy's question. To be honest, Dominique wasn't sure if she wanted to meet the guy for a numerous amount of reasons mostly because of rejection mixed with a bit of low self-esteem which was a first for the seventeen year old. So instead of making up some reply of soon, Dominique gave an honest answer and quickly turned her phone off when she heard the class bell.
Realistic-girl 412: When we're in the same city.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The message sent by Realistic-girl 412 made Shinji Ikari let out a grunt as he heard the class bell, knowing he would get it confiscated if found, Shinji turned it off and put it in his pocket. He was eighteen years old now and had changed for the better. Instead of being some spineless wimp as he considered himself to be, he finally got a clue that he was worthy of living, he knew he could no longer keep his heart hidden away so he opened it up. Of course he could not do it without the help of his friends Touji, Kensuke & Kaworu.
After Asuka had run off, Shinji fell into a deep state of depression and had even thought of suicide until he was greeted by his three best friends Touji, Kensuke and best of all, Kaworu, who had all got out from the red LCL ocean. They comforted Shinji and showed him that whatever happened to them was the cause of Shinji's bastard of a father.
It was a start for Shinji and soon he built a bit of confidence each day but he knew he couldn't live in Tokyo-3 anymore neither could the guys so the moved to Tokyo-1, where they found two bedroom apartment and had been living together ever since.
As time passed more & more people were coming out of the sea of LCL and a civilisation began to form. Now Tokyo-1 is just like it was before Second impact and was thriving with thousands & thousands of human beings, it gave Shinji comfort. So for the past few years Shinji had finally learnt to smile and embrace life.
He worked hard in school which led him to get good grades in class, he did more sport which gave him more self-esteem, got a job by tutoring foreign exchange students to understand the Japanese language & tutoring of how to play the cello and even learnt to play lead guitar.
For the first time since his mother's death, Shinji was happy. Well, almost anyway.
The truth was that Shinji was happy with his life, but he felt life had become more perfect after being forced to join a email buddy program and being set up with Realistic-girl 412, who had became an important person in Shinji's life. Even though he had never seen her face to face Shinji felt like he almost knew her and he so wanted to finally meet her, but she either would change the subject or remind Shinji of the fact that they were both in thousands of kilometres away from each other.
Shinji knew that Realistic-girl 412 did this because she was afraid, though Shinji could not blame her because he felt the same way. I mean wouldn't you be afraid of meeting someone you have talked to for two months and expose your soul to them, then meeting them face to face?
So when he got Realistic-girl 412's latest reply of when they could meet, Shinji wasn't surprised with the reply but he also wondered if it was because Realistic-girl 412 feared that Shinji was some short geek into sci-fi. If it was then Shinji knew that Realistic-girl wouldn't have to worry and as he had the popularity to prove it.
Shinji had grown to the height of 6ft 3, tanned skin, short but spiky dark-brown hair and achieving a solid build as he was apart of the school basketball team, sprinting team and the swimming team after he had been taught by Touji. But what attracted girls most to him was his colbolt-blue eyes making him the most popular guy in all of the school with Kaworu second, Touji third and Kensuke forth.
Kaworu was 6ft 4 with spiky, messy silver-grey hair and is blood-red eyes.
Touji was 6ft 2 with the same ebony-black hair style as he did when he was fourteen and mischievous earthy-brown eyes.
Kensuke was 6ft 1 with a well portioned body because he had been training to get into the army when he was old enough. His skin had a bit more of a tan than when he was fourteen, his hair was rough & messy but lovable light-brown hair and he no longer wore his glasses so everyone could now see the beautiful mineral-green eyes he had.
"Yo Shin' man let's go, it's time for class!" Touji said walking up to his best friend with Kensuke & Kaworu, but when all three noticed that Shinji had his mobile in his hand, they knew what was going on.
"Been talking to Realistic-girl again I see." Kaworu stated with a wide grin on his face.
"Oh yes, the mysterious girl you talk to twenty-four/seven when you should be spending time with your bestest mates!" Kensuke said pretending to look hurt.
"Sorry guys but I can't help it, she's really special! And... I think I maybe getting feelings for her!" Shinji said grinning causing a few shocks, especially from Touji & Kensuke.
"WHAT!" Both asked in horror.
"You've never even met the girl so how could you know who she truly is?" Touji asked but before Shinji could answer Kensuke interrupted.
"Yeah for all you could know is that she maybe some grandma who lives with a bunch of cats down the street from us and is waiting for the right time to strike!" Kensuke said making both him & Touji nod their heads at the possibility but Shinji & Kaworu rolled their eyes.
"Guys, this was organised by schools from all over the country so I highly doubt the possibility."
"Yeah guys leave Shinji alone. It's good that he's talking to girls confidentially since Asu-... well you know what I mean." Kaworu said quickly covering up his mistake. He hoped that he didn't upset his best friend.
"No it's ok. I can't deny it, I miss Asuka." Shinji simply said.
"Though I don't know why you would miss the Devil Asuka, I miss Class rep." Touji admitted with a blush creeping on his cheeks.
"And I miss the First child..." Kaworu sighed out, all three guys seemed depressed when they realised how much they missed their girls.
"Aw man, I don't have a girl to miss!" Kensuke said depressed.
"What about Mana?" Touji asked.
"I never really liked her," Kensuke said truthfully.
"Well don't worry Kensuke, you'll find a girl to miss one day." Kaworu said in a comforting tone.
"Yeah when he matures!" Touji teased.
"You calling me immature! Ha! You're then one to talk! Remember that time with that jar of..."
"Oh god here we go again!" Shinji said rolling his eyes.
"Hey guys knock it off, we've got class!" Kaworu interrupted, Touji & Kensuke agreed and decided they'd start this another time. Yep to Shinji this was the start to another day.
End of Chapter 4.
