Chapter 13
A month had passed since the huge secret had been revealed to both the Hamadas and the Tanakas, and both families went on with their daily routines. Of course, it had taken both families a while to get used to the new changes, but they got used to it.
Even though there was tension between the families, Gogo and the Hamadas are still the best of pals, and they act as if nothing happened. Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred hadn't found out about Hiro and Akari being Tadashi's younger brother and sister, but they're about to…
It was just a usual morning in the Hamada household when everyone awoke. Akari had been feeling a little rundown since the night before, but she didn't think too much of it. She realized she had a fever when she took her temperature in the bathroom, but she didn't want to skip school, because a fever wasn't going to hurt anyone…right?
She just pushed her fever out of her mind and walked down the stairs, greeting her family sleepily. They greeted her back, and they all had breakfast. Hiro, Akari, and Tadashi finished their breakfast and headed to the garage, where Tadashi's moped was. They hopped on and rode to school.
The three siblings arrived about half-an-hour before classes started, so they all went in to greet their friends. Coincidentally, Gogo was coming in at the same time.
"Hey guys!" Honey Lemon chirped happily from her lab station, as she did every morning.
"Hi," Akari greeted.
"Hey," Hiro greeted.
"Sup," Gogo greeted, stretching the 'p.'
"Hello," Tadashi greeted.
"I'm going to go to my station now," Gogo announced and walked behind a corner. Akari suddenly felt hot, like she was outside on a hot summer's day.
"Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" Akari asked, waving her hand in front of her face.
"I think it's just you Akari," Tadashi stated, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I just can't wear my jacket today," Akari said and walked down the hall to her lab, stripping off her jacket as she went.
"I'm going to follow her and make sure she's ok," Hiro announced to Tadashi who nodded. He ruffled his messy hair, and he let Hiro follow Akari down the hall.
Honey Lemon noticed the brotherly relationship the two had. In fact, she noticed that Tadashi, Hiro, and Akari had a large sibling-like relationship.
"You know the three of you treat each other like you're brothers and sister," Honey Lemon observed.
"What? How can you tell?" Tadashi asked nervously.
Honey Lemon noticed the nervousness in his tone, "Well, for starters, you asked Akari if she was ok, and then you ruffled Hiro's hair-which he hates-and he didn't even mind."
"We just have a close bond. It's a long story," Tadashi said simply.
"Ok…then," Honey Lemon trailed off and went back to her work. Tadashi went down the hall to his lab and did the same.
Akari walked into her lab and peeled off her jacket, relieving herself from the heat, only to be surrounded by what felt like freezing cold air. She shivered, and put her jacket back on, and ended up taking it off a minute later.
She was fighting herself. One minute she was hot, and another minute she was cold, and she figured it was due to the fever she found out she had that morning. After what felt like forever, she found a solution to her problem. She put on her jacket, and let the cool, crisp autumn wind come in through her open window.
That seemed to do the trick for when she was in the lab, but when she had to go to her classes, it was another story. She'd break into a sweat or a cold sweat during the middle of class, and she'd had to excuse herself from every class. She felt embarrassed. Maybe coming to school wasn't a good idea after all…
Akari closed herself in her lab at lunch, taking nibbles of her food and hoping to get some work done on her project. Unfortunately, she had no luck, because the world started swirling around her, she was having hallucinations, and when she got up from her chair, she tripped over her foot, and her head hit the ground…hard.
The world suddenly went black around her, and the last thing she heard was someone shouting her name…
"Tadashi! Someone help Akari!..."
Uh-oh. Akari's sick... But this leads up to the events of the movie taking place. In the next chapters, I'm doing something REALLY EVIL! (MUAHAHAHAHA!)
Follow and Review! See you in the next chapter!
