Note: As you will soon realize, Amu is not exactly what you'd call a morning person. Insert evil yet innocent smile here.
Monday Morning
Amu's POV
Beep, Beep, Beep!
There it is again. That insistent beeping! I swear, whatever that thing is I'm going to murder it. It sounds a lot like-
"Good morning, Sunshine!" Anna screeched, right next to my left ear, I might add. I think I may be going deaf.
I sat up quickly and fell off of my large bed with a loud thump. The sheets were tangled around my body and I had some of my hair in my mouth. I angrily yanked the sheet off my head and body and sputtered out my hair.
"What the heck are you doing, Anna!" I yelled at her. She looked amused, sitting up their on my bed, and as I stood up, darin a glance at the alarm clock after noticing it was still dark outside. "It's 5:00 in the morning! Normal people don't get up at this hour!"
"Your not normal, though. Your a girl." She replied perkily, before taking my arm, and before I could protest, dragged me into the bathroom. Rima stood in a short white towel, with dripping wet hair, as she washed her face with some goop I had never even seen before.
"Now take a bath," Anna sung out, sounding much to happy for this time of morning. I stared at her incrediously. First she screams in my ear to wake me up, then she wants me to take a bath this early in the morning and start getting ready for school? She's gone insane. Though I'm sure it was a short road for her.
Undressing slowly and unwillingly, I stepped into the tub filled two thirds with warm water. "Why do I have to take a bath, a showers quicker," I complained. She rolled her eyes and Rima exited the room, leaving me at the mercy of my cousin. And my cousin had no mercy.
"Because, silly, your my doll and I want to wash you hair!" She said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I watched as she squirted a large amount of Strawberry shampoo in her hands and began massaging it into my hair, and with a resentful sigh, I began to slowly wash my body.
After bathing
Once I was done with my bath, I was wrapped in a long pink towel that I never knew I had, and Rima came in, hair in curlers, fully dressed in uniform. She sat me down in front of the chair, which was still placed in front of the sink, and began putting different sized curlers into my hair, as Anna picked out my accesories and got my book bag ready.
Once Anna came back in, she put my make up on for me, and did Rima's also. Rima did Anna's, and they both sprayed strawberry perfume on my neck and wrist. Then I crimped Anna's hair as Rima removed the rollers from my hair. I dressed in my uniform after washing my face and brushing my teeth. By then it was about six thirty. I still didn't get why we had to get up this early-- we had until eight to be in first period.
We all stood in front of my long vanaty mirror, looking ourselves over. I had on green eye shadow again. Anna said it brought my eyes out. Other than that, I had a little lip gloss and eyeliner, but that was it. Anna and Rima had the same thing, except Anna's eyeshadow was purple, and Rima's was a light pink. I carried my green prada bag again, the bag matching my eyeshadow, while Anna carried her silky purple one and Rima borrowed my pink one. We all wore a pair of channel sun glasses, and Anna gave us a peice of Big Red gum. Then we went to the kitchen, to get something to eat. I told Anna she wasted her gum if were about to eat, but she waved it off saying she had tons.
When we came downstairs, mom was already gone. She leaves at three or four everymorning, and doesn't come back until eleven or twelve at night. I hate that she over works herself, but since her and dad divoriced, she doesn't even talk to me anymore. It's been almost half a year, though. I'm used to it by now. But, in the kitchen wore the two people I had yet to see. My cousins, the twins.
Luna, the cousin older by a minute, had dark, murky green hair that was straight and at her shoulders, flipping out at the bottom. She had on over-elaborate black eyeliner and far to much sea-weed green eye shadow on. Her lips were painted red with a stick of lip stick in her orange prada bag, and a pair of channel sunglasses covered her light blue eyes. Her uniform had the top three buttons undone, so you could see cleevage, and she had hitched her skirt up as far as it could go.
Runa stood beside her twin. She had straight straw colored hair tied up in a high ponytail with a dark blue ribbon. Her eye make-up was elaborate dark blue eyeshadow and two much eyeliner and mascarra. Her lips were also red, with a lipstick I suppose was in her silk blue prada bag. Runa's outfit was in the same fassion as Luna's, only she had two buttons undone instead of three. They both sneered when they saw Anna, as they didn't seem to recognize me or Rima. Rima and them had never met, so that was understandable, but they were stupid not to recognize me.
"You have friends over?" Luna said, still sneering at her sister.
"You have friends?" Runa taunted, looking me and Rima over in disgust.
"Yes, I have friends, you morons. And one of them is your cousin. I hope you can at least remember Yuki's face. She's been over to the mansion I don't know how many times." Anna lied. The twins blinked stupidly.
"Oh, yeah, Yuki! We didn't forget her, you slut, we just didn't want to remember someone who was your friend." Luna excused. I sighed, shaking my head. After all these years it seemed like she still couldn't come up with a better come back than slut, bitch, or whore. I mean, how many times can you really use that?
"Let's just get some food on the way to school," Rima sugested, moving from the room. I followed, and Anna was relucutuant to follow, seeing as it would seem we were admitting defeat. Which we most definatley not. We exited the house and waved a cab down, then stopped at the coffee shop a block away from school.
We hopped out of the cab and I immediately spotted other girls from our school, sitting around sipping lattes. Anna ordered strong black coffee, Rima got a Mocha Latte, and I ordered a Cappuccino with whipped cream. We got a dozen coffee cookies to share. Then, we sat at a small round table by the window, sipping our drinks and munching on cookies. For a moment we sat in silence, then Anna launched into full scale talking.
"I can't believe that Tsukiyomi ditched the restraunt the other night." She said, a slight smirk on her lips. "It was like he was running. And Tsukiyomi's just don't run."
Rima also looked amused. It was true. After saying 'See ya, Kitten' Ikuto had left the cafe. Anna had asked the waiter who had brought our food where he went, and he said that he cut work early, like 'usual'.
"You know Tsukiyomi's sister, that high popular at our school, Hoshina Utau?" Rima asked, changing the topic as I stirred my drink.
"Sister? Isn't that just a rumor?" I asked.
"No," Rima replied curtly. I wondered how she could be so sure, but ignored it.
"Hm. They don't look anything alike." I mused, then added, "Yeah, I know her, why?"
"Well, she's the head of the poplars." Rima said, "So get on her good side."
"The poplars have a head?" I asked, raising my eyebrow. Anna shook her head.
"What are we going to do with her," She murmured. I rolled my eyes slightly. Just because I dont' really know everything...
"Doesn't she have some kind of older brother fetish, then, or something?" I inputted. "I heard some girls saying that she was in love with Ikuto, as we were ordering?"
"Now that you mention it, I heard it was like that," Rima muttered. Anna looked disturbed by the idea. I couldn't blame her, though. I would be too, if I wasn't used to stuff like that. I used to have a friend that was in love with her younger brother, and I knew some people other than Utau at our school that was like that.
"If their siblings, why don't they have the same last name?" I asked. Rima shrugged at my question, obviously not knowing.
"You know Kukai? That soccer jock?" Rima asked. I nodded, knowing that he was one of the populars, too.
"That's guys a womanizing, lecherous, bad boy wanna-be." I said, finishing my drink. Rima nodded in agreement, while Anna looked interested in meeting this 'bad boy wanna-be'.
"Well, you may have to suck up to him a little, so be prepared," Rima warned. I groaned, hating the thought of sucking up to someone.
"C'mon, let's go to the office and make sure they got the enrollment papers and get our schedules before classes," Anna suggested, standing. Exiting the coffee shop, we headed to the school as new students. Step 1: Get into the populars.
