Good news everyone, I'm better! But i'm also busy...
Enjoy though :3
Ayumi spent most of her weekend sleeping, reading and wondering about all the things in life she'd never find out about. How Naomi was surely now dating Satoshi, and there was no hope left for her. Why would be even pick Naomi over her? In Ayumi's conflicted mind, she would be a better girlfriend, but then that all came down to simple oppinion. Ayumi wasn't particularly conceited, however she did have a good oppinion of herself and where she stood in the world. Not very high, considering the forever increasing world population.
Anyway, she was feeling quite down on the drizzly Monday morning that followed, after not really speaking to Yoshiki about his exam though they had texted each other if anything, a couples of times during the weekend. Yoshiki wouldn't get his results for a few days, as they had to be properly examined by the school officials. Some people questioned his sudden desire for an education, with just one term left of school, but Ayumi knew it was the best thing to help him get a decent future.
Bored stiff, she flicked open her phone as she walked along the dreary pavements, sighing as she liked Naomi's and Seiko's bubbly texts. Why couldn't she be like them? Then she noticed that all she posted about was her studies and drawing, and realised that people didn't generally find that interesting. But she did, and Hinoe always said to her it was good to stay true to yourself no matter who will judge you. Rethinking the saying, she scrolled past the 'suggested posts' section, however not before catching a glimpse of her very own name.
'KISARAGI: Ayumi Shinozaki Club'
Curious and stunned, she clicked on the page without even thinking, and what she saw, really shocked her right through to her spine.
'Welcome to Kisaragi Gossip: Ayumi Shinozaki's club. Here we post all the rumors and gossip that's been going on this week with exclusive interviews with the stars of the school! Leave a like and don't forget to share with everyone of course!'
A gossip page? It sounded like one of those celebrity magazine websites or something, yet there was a bitter message clearly shining through. It was aimed to upset her in person. There was all sorts of rubbish, some she had heard of in the whispers, like the bitch fights with Naomi, or two timing with Yoshiki and Satoshi. A fairly new one had come out, describing how she was a 'fake whore' and an 'attention seeker', with quotes from some of the giggly girls, and even some she recognised. Like Naomi Nakashima, for example...And Mochida, Satoshi Mochida.
"She's such a lying cow!" Naomi tells me as she sits with her handsome boy friend, the infamous Satoshi Mochida. "You heard the rumors she spread about us, right Toshi-kun?"
"That's right," agrees Satoshi with a frown, the hurt clearly showing in his chocolaty eyes. "I...It's horrible you know? She totally needs to stop!"
"It's not just you apparently," I continue, giving Satoshi a supportive pat on the shoulder. "She's been saying awful things about your friend, Seiko Shinohara as well!"
"Not her!" groans Naomi, looking shocked. It's obviously news to the cute and bootylichious girl. "How could she!"
"Everyone reading this," begins Satoshi, waving his arms frantically at me, a dull and cold look in his usually go nice eyes...as if to exaggerate just how serious the situation was. "Block Ayumi on all social networking; she's a troll too! Block her number, avoid her, and don't even think about being quiet, warn all your friends!"
Wise words from Mochida there. I'll post again when I get to catch up with my long time friend, Seiko Shinohara! Until then - Moeko xox
Ayumi practically chocked on the air she was breathing in. How could her friends of gone behind her back and said all those nasty things? Sure, they may think she was doing the same, but surely they had known her long enough to know she wouldn't dream of being openly mean to them! Maybe this girl, Moeko (she'd never heard of before) had faked the conversation...However when Ayumi checked the comments and likes, both of their names were there, with a full link to their profiles. There was no denying it, Naomi and Satoshi were adding on the hate to the already feet tall pile.
Satoshi could never do something like that though. Not in a million years! Yet he had, and it wasn't the first time he had done something behind her back, for he never told her he was going out with Naomi. It was all so confusing, and that added onto the creepy texts she had been getting and the strange notes she found here there and everywhere, Ayumi was seriously getting stressed out.
Before long she was outside the large iron gates on the school, instantly spotting Seiko and Naomi walking together, both giggling. Laughing about her, probably.
Deciding to avoid them, she made for the entrance, wanting to avoid anyone that would stop to talk to her, even the teachers, However Kisiragi was a busy school, and you ran into people more often then you'd care to admit.
"I'm sorry!" yelled Ayumi over the loud crowd of people as she pushed a brown haired boy out of her way.
"No problem Shinozaki! See ya in class!" Satoshi called back with a grin.
"Hiya Ayumi" called Mayu with a smile, Morishige walking quietly by her side. They had no doubt been discussing another play or performance. "See you at break."
"See you at break, Shinozaki." added Morishige after, not wanting to look rude.
"Bye..." she mumbled in reply, wondering why they weren't all being mean, or at least blanking her. She had no idea what was going on in peoples minds anymore but her owns. It was getting overwhelming, so later at break, she decided to confront Naomi in the subtest way she could do.
"Hey Nakashima," she greeted her chirpily, sitting down opposite her, next to Mayu. "How are you?"
"I'm great thanks!" she replied with a warm smile. Wow, thought Ayumi, she really needed to go and join Mayu's drama club!
"Good. Do you know anyone called Moeko, by any chance?" continued Ayumi, still smiling though inside she was cursing Naomi for acting so innocent.
"Moeko...Doesn't ring a bell. What do you think Seiko?"
"I had a cat called Moeko..." murmered Seiko, a hint of sadness in her voice. "She got run over by a-"
"No? Alright then, Naomi."
"Class...rep?"
Ayumi was standing up now, her fists clenched in frustration. A glare of pure ice was etched onto her pale face, shocking Naomi at the sudden transformation.
"So all this time," Ayumi said, almost mockingly. "You've not even HEARD the rumours?"
"I've heard rumors about you Shinozaki, but i'd never spread them!" Naomi defended herself, a little taken a back.
"You admit it! You've kept up your little sweet girlfriend act, pretending you don't know what's going on, when you've been the founder of it the whole time!" Ayumi accused Naomi, pointing a finger rudely at her.
"Hey!" shouted Seiko, jumping up to defend her best friend. "No need to get so loud Shinozaki!"
"Loud?!" laughed Shinoazki, bringing her phone out of her pocket. Satoshi, Mayu and Morishige were all staring at her now, confused and worried. "You've made your oppinions loud and clear!"
"I don't know what you mean," Naomi told her calmly, as Satoshi protectively squeezed her arm. "What are you showing me Ayumi, your shoving it so far up to my face, it's gone all blurry."
"Just like your memory, I suppose."
"Just let me see!"
Ayumi threw the phone angrily at Naomi, who caught it gracefully with her netball catching skills.
"I've never seen this page in my life." Naomi said bluntly. "I never even followed it. Seiko, did you do this yesterday when I was getting changed and left my phone in your 'safe' hands?"
"Noo waaaay!" Seiko denied, snatching the phone of her to get a good look. "You always change your passwords, Nao...Is this some sort of hate page?"
"Why am I following it?" Satoshi wanted to know as he spotted his name amongst the list of followers for the page that Seiko was scrolling through. "I'd never-"
"So this is your little cover up plan, is it?" asked Ayumi, pursing her lips. "In case you got caught?"
"I swear I've never seen it. My network's been acting strange recently, it's been forcing me to log out at odd times and I've had lots of security alarms..." mused Naomi, very aware that Ayumi was trembling in obvious anger at her.
"That's why you've been changing your passwords so often!" realised Seiko.
"By chance, are you being hacked, Nakashima?" suggested Morishige, who had been silent whilst witnessing the entire conversation. "By what you've described, it seems like the case."
"You can trust Shig," added Mayu. "He's the best at sorting mobile phones!"
"Oh, maybe all of you have been hacked too right?" said Ayumi sarcastically, grabbing her phone off Seiko.
"Now that you mention it..." Satoshi started, but was silenced by a roar of anger coming from no other but Ayumi.
"You know what, you called me a lying cow, Naomi, but you're ALL LIARS!" she yelled, making Mayu jump in her seat.
"Your making my life a misery, all the texts, notes, rumors. If you didn't like me, you should of said instead of doing this!"
She was crying now, tears of pure anger and self pity. They all hated her for sure.
"I don't know who I can TRUST anymore!
