Chapter Seven : Friends and Boyfriends
Maki POV
*Before School*
"Come on! We're gonna be late!" Bianca yelled from downstairs.
"Okay, I'm coming," Sayuri and I yelled. We ran downstairs grabbing Bianca's hands and ran out the door.
"Bye dad, Bye mother!" We yelled in sync then slammed the door behind us.
We stopped running and started walking. We were going to meet up with our new friends in front of the school gates and I was dead nervous, although I didn't show it. It was the first time I ever had friends, other than the guys back in Australia.
"Hey guys!" We looked up and saw Amu wave at us.
"Ohayo Minna!" We all said, again in sync.
"Jeez you guys act like your triplets!" Rima told us clearly freaked out by out whole 'talking-in-unison' thing.
"Let's go we'll be late," Kairi said.
"Jeez, Yaya thinks you should calm down Kairi-Koi!" Yaya said. That made Kairi blush.
"Are you guys dating?" I asked curiously, noticing the koi at the end.
"Yeah, they are. Sorry forgot to tell you," Utau explained. (Utau and Kukai are only one year older and in the same class. Yaya and Kairi are the same age as the others)
"Me and Utau are dating as well," Kukai explained, putting his arm over Utau with a slightly visible blush on his cheeks.
"Hmmm okay," I said.
"Why?" Utau asked.
"Maki loves romance," Bianca explained "She absolutely loves it,"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE THAT!" I yelled. Even though i gave her my death glare she was unaffected. I felt my cheeks burn from embarrassment.
"Anyways,"Sayuri said "What about you guys?" She asked the others. She knew not to get me mad.
"Well, I haven't found anyone yet," Tadase said "But I hope to find someone soon," From the corner of my eye I saw Tadase sneak a peak at Sayuri.
"And the two over there," Utau whispered to us, pointing to Rima and Nagi who were arguing again"Are being too stubborn but we know they have feelings for each other,"
"Well, Maki can fix that," Bianca suggested."Every time a girl has asked me for advice on dating, I ask her and the next thing I know the girl that asked me, is taken," this statement made me stare at the ground. I felt Utau and Amu stare at me in amazement.
"What about you Amu?" Sayuri asked.
"Well, Amu's Romeo, Ikuto, my older brother, has gone off on a long journey to find our father. Ikuto is only two years older than Amu. He's been gone for years but Amu hasn't forgot about him," Utau explained. Amu cheeks turned as red as a tomato.
"Well, that's interesting to know,"
We turned around and saw a tall boy with his hands in his pockets. He had midnight blue hair, matching eyes and a smirk planted on his face. Everyone had turned to look at him, even Nagi and Rima had stopped fighting.
"I thought you would've gone off with kiddy king over there," He smirked.
We all glanced at Amu, who had tears forming into her eyes."I-I..."she stuttered. She was having a hard time talking.
"IKUTO!" She screamed and tackled him into a hug.
"I missed you too, my little ichigo (Ichigo-strawberry)" He smiled hugging her back and kissing the top of her head.
"Okay guys, save it for when you guys are alone," Utau said.
"Ah finally he arrives," I say.
*I had a vision about him*
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Amu asks.
"Have you forgotten my power already Amu? Honestly, your so forgetful," I tell her.
"Power? Who are these people anyway?" Ikuto asks.
"Oh right, this is Bianca, Sayuri and Maki. Sayuri can see people's past, Bianca can see present events anywhere in the world and Maki can see the future," Amu answers.
"Amu, a secret is not supposed to be shared so lightly. I know we can trust Ikuto so it's fine but next time don't answer like its a normal thing," I told her.
"Anyway, When did you get back? What are you doing here?" Amu asked not letting go of him.
"I arrived two days ago. I found father and made him come back," he told Amu. He turned to Utau "He really misses you,". Utau just stared at the ground.
"As for what i'm doing here, Going to school, I transferred," He explained cooly. Amu squealed jumping up and down.
*This is totally out of character*
"Back on to the topic, what about you guys? I know Sayuri had a boyfriend," Utau asked us.
Bianca and I simply stared at the ground. On topics like this I never really talk.
"They didn't have anyone before we moved. Just crushes," Sayuri answered for us.
"Really? Who?" Everyone was paying attention again, now.
"You know how we said we had childhood friends?Well, one of which was my boyfriend, Liam. As we explained before his parents knew about our family's secret power. They had also adopted two boys who became our friends. They all eventually found out our secret, but father trusted them so it didn't matter. Bianca and Maki eventually had major crushes on them, but they never said anything,"
By now Bianca and I were staring at the ground, our bangs now covering our eyes. I could feel my cheeks burn and I know my sister's were burning as well. I felt all eyes on us in pity.
"Come on let's get to class" Rima said. We nodded and left.
*Time Skip-Break time with the girls* Utau POV
"Hey Rima, Have you gotten anywhere with Nagi yet, we're all waiting!?" I asked.
"Nowhere, what? do you think I like him?" Rima asked not looking at us, "In your dreams,"
"Come on Rima, just admit it. Even Amu and Ikuto were easier to put together than you," I said, ignoring Amu's protests.
"Yaya thinks so too!" Yaya added.
"You two do seems like a great couple" Bianca added.
"We do not!" Rima argued. We could see a faint tint of red on her cheeks.
"Then why are you blushing?" Maki asked.
*Hey didn't Bianca say Maki was a matchmaking goddess like me? Maybe she could come up with something,*
"Hey what do you think they should do? You have done this before right?" I asked her quietly so Rima couldn't hear. she nodded.
"But we can't work with Rima, I know she won't tell us," she said "we'll work with Nagi, he will be easier,"
"Great idea, I think you should get an award for this. And everyone says I am the matchmaker!" I told her. She blushed looking at the ground.
*I think I'll be great friends with her!*
