"So it's ok if I come?" a nervous Usagi asked as she held the receiver.
Over the other end a small laugh could be heard as Ami announced, "Well, that is why we have those flyers up."
"I'm not the best of student's....but I promise I'll try."
"Don't worry, you'll like everyone and you don't have to be the best. Come after school tomorrow."
"Ok." With that the two hung up on eachother. Usagi sank into her couch and looked over at her text books. There just seemed to be so many, sitting on the coffee table. "Maybe I should just give up," she mumbled to her self. Reluctantly sighing she reached out and picked up the first book her hand touched. Not paying attention she opened to a page and began to read.
"Meiosis is..." She looked at the cover. Biology...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Built like a fortress, towering over the people with it's three stories and giant Lions at the top of the steps, the town library loomed over Usagi. In the day it was nothing to a normal person, but as the sun was going down it was the scariest place on earth to Usagi. Hugging her books tightly to her chest she walked up the stairs and threw the door's. At the back there was a small group of people already at the table Ami had told her to meet at. Shyly she walked over and smiled brightly as she came closer. She could over hear one girl with her hair in a ponytail say she'd rather go make some more cookies than algebra. "I'd like to eat some cookies..." thought Usagi and she stopped. "If everyone else is like this, I think I'll like them...maybe even make some friends."
"You must be Usagi!." An overly excited Ami jumped out of her seat and extended her hand over the table to Usagi. All eyes turned to her as Usagi blushed a deep red and took Ami's hand.
"That's right, I'm Usagi. I hope I'm not late."
"Of course not." said Ami
"Yeah we're still waiting for one more person."
"Let me introduce you to everyone." Ami motioned to the girl that just spoke, "This is Rei." Rei looked up and waved. "This would be Makoto." The girl with the pony tail turned around and gave Usagi a cookie "Hello!"
"This is Minako." A girl with long blonde hair, sitting at the end of the table smiled brightly back. "I think that is about everyone."
"Nice to meet you all, " Usagi laid her books on the table and stepped back to take a seat.
With a crash she fell to the floor again as she stepped into something behind her.
"And that would be Mamoru..." Usagi heard Ami say as she got to her feet. Slowly Usagi turned and once again came face to face with the guy she ran into the other day.
"Y-You!" She growled as she looked Mamoru in the eyes. As she tensed up, Mamoru relaxed putting his hands in his pockets.
"You really should be more careful, that's the second time you've run into me."
Usagi choked back a string of curse words that where trying to come out. She stepped back and calmed her self down, her glare never leaving his."Nice to meet you Mamoru, I'm Usagi."
Smirking he said,"I see you took my advice and joined a study group."
"I would have never come here if I knew I'd have to see you again...." As she spoke Mamoru reached around her and pulled out the seat she was about to sit in. He sat down as if she had never spoken.
She spun around bring her hand across his face. A loud smack was heard and all the other girls could do was stare. Usagi ran out of the library and Mamoru stared straight ahead.
"She forgot her books."
Rei looked over at Mamoru and blinked. "What the hell was that about?!?!" She said jumping out of her chair.
"I don't know. I only met her once when she ran into me."
"What did you do to that girl!!? I've never seen you so mean to anyone in my life."
Mamoru looked down at his hands. He knew what Rei was saying was true, but he didn't want to admit it. Everyone else looked at him unbelieving, until they all chorused in.
"We need to find her." All four girls stood up, leaving an ashamed Mamoru at the table they walked out the door to find her.
After they had left he looked at the books Usagi had forgotten. He picked them up along with his and also left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Damn....I forgot them." Usagi looked down at her empty hands. She had been so worked up over Mamoru she just realized her books were still back with the others.
"I can't go back now...How do I explain slapping their friend?" She looked down the street and saw them running in her direction. "Great..." she jumped onto the bus and threw the money at the driver. Running to the back she sat down and sank into her seat.
"Where is she?" Minako asked looking around at the people.
"I don't know I can't see her anywhere..." Makoto said as a bus went driving by.
"I don't think we'll find her." Ami walked back over to everyone. "We should go get our stuff and call it a day."
*Back in the library*
"Where did he go now!?!?!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mamoru was leaning against a tall brick wall. On the other side was a quant stone house, just two stories tall with a balcony going all around the top. It was a nice home he thought, looking it over. Through the gate he could see flowers growing along the wall with roses in the corner. It only seemed natural to him that this girl would live some place like this. It was like her, simple yet cute. As he turned around he was met with fierce eyes he was beginning to be well aquatinted with. Everytime he say them, all that hatred was directed right at him.
"Those are my book's," she stated holding her hand out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi set her books down on the coffee table and shrugged off her jacket. Laying out on the couch she rested her head on the arm and thought about what Mamoru had said.
" You really should keep coming to the group...It can help."
"Why should I listen to anything he says" she thought biting her bottom lip. But he was right she did need the help even if it meant having to spend a few hours with him. She glared at the wall in front of her as she thought of him standing out side her gate. That was the last thing she wanted to see as she came home. How dare he be there as she turned the corner, he now knew where she lived! Usagi wanted to ring his neck! for every little smug thing he did. The way he just looked at her as if she had said nothing as he turned around and met her glare. She couldn't tell if he was evening looking at her with those sun glasses of his. How he had just handed her the books and walked off saying she should come back...it was his fault she had left I the first place! Then his car...of course he had o speed off in a candy apple red mustang with the hood down. "Well, I came going back...even with that ass of a jock there." A small smile crept over her lips as she thought of a plan. She would be nice, sweet, be her self and ignore him and his rude behavior. The meaner he was the sweeter she would smile. Everyone else was nice to her and she wanted to get to know them better. Why let the rude behavior of one ruin what could be a good friendship for her? She liked them and wanted them to like her too even if they were friends with HIM.
"Usagi! time for dinner!" her dad yelled from the kitchen.
"Ok! I'm starved!!!" She ran and did her next favorite thing to reading manga and that was stuffing her face with delicious food!
Over the other end a small laugh could be heard as Ami announced, "Well, that is why we have those flyers up."
"I'm not the best of student's....but I promise I'll try."
"Don't worry, you'll like everyone and you don't have to be the best. Come after school tomorrow."
