So, chapter 10 has come!

So, my homework had been stolen, and the ones who stole it wanted to meet me in the parking lot.

Alright, then.

I needed my homework, but I needed to leave even more. I had some errands to run, and I had to take the bus.

So I said goodbye to Amaya, and I left. I got on the bus that'd take me to the store, and I sat down next to someone I didn't recognize.

"Hello!" the girl said. "My name's Mika!"

"Hey, I'm Leiko," I told her, not too anxious for conversation.

Apparently, she was.

"So, I've never seen you before," Mika told me. "Did you just move to the area?"

"No," I replied. "I just need to go to a store and get some groceries."

"Oh." Mika blushed. "I'm really sorry, I just assumed-"

I shook my head. "It's fine. I'll just warn you, it's not always best to assume."

Mika smiled. "Thanks."

"You're welcome," I replied.

After that, we got along fine. Sure, she was more of the preppy, cheerleader type, and you wouldn't catch me touching a skirt or a dress with a 20 foot pole, but you know what they say, opposites attract. After all, if I can be friends with Amaya, surely I can be friends with this girl too, when both are nothing like me.

We chatted for awhile. We both had a long wait before we'd get off, and as it turned out she had to go to the store too. So we talked about this, that and the other thing.

It was great.

Then we got off the bus.

As we got off the bus, Mika seemed to recognize someone that was walking by the store. My first guess, which was correct, was that they were related, because other than the fact that they were opposite genders, they looked exactly the same. Anyway, Mika ran over to him, and he didn't seem surprised to see her at all.

"Hey, Yoi!" Mika greeted him.

"Hi, Mika!" the guy, whom I assumed was Yoi, said to her.

"Yoi, this is my new friend, Leiko!" Mika introduced me and Yoi to each other. "Leiko, this is my twin brother, Yoi."

"Hi, Yoi." I greeted him. I'm not one to give enthusiastic greetings, but hey, it's my personality.

"...Leiko? Would your last name happen to be Sasaki?" Yoi asked.

"Yes?" It sort of came out as a question, because it was the most random thing I'd been asked in awhile.

"Here. I found this." Yoi handed me something very familiar.

Something that I thought I'd lost forever.

The folder I kept my homework in, homework included.

I took the folder, grinning. "Thanks! I'd been wondering where this was."

Yoi shrugged. "No problem. I'm glad you have it back."

And thus started a great friendship.

Alright, I'll admit it. This isn't the real chapter 10. I started typing this as an April Fool's Joke, but didn't think of it until like 8 at night anyway.
The April Fools Joke? Well, there's a link that's on my profile that's been split in half! The link is actually two links! Can you find it?

As you'll find out, Mika and Yoi are nothing like this. I probably completely reversed their personalities. They'll get introduced in the real chapter 10.
