Memories
Chapter Two
AN: Sorry, I uploaded the wrong file so this one should be right! Okay, In one of the reviews someone noted on the problems on my story. I'm not mad at all, but they said that the girls all go to different schools. They are correct in that matter but I forgot to mention that they are now 9th graders. They go to Tokyo high. (I really don't know if there is such a school, but I put it in anyway…..) Well enjoy chapter two and tell me what you think. I will try to update as much as possible.
"Oh, man these books are so heavy!" Hikaru complained as she lugged home about five books from school.
"Would you like some help?" A deep voice asked. Hikaru looked up to find Leo.
"Uh, thanks." Hikaru said as she handed him some of the books. "So, you are the older brother of Chris, Andrew, Paula and Fred?" She said as she strained to remember their names.
"Yes." Leo nodded. "I also have a brother the same age as me. His name is Eli."
'Ya but he can't be as cute as you.' Hikaru thought. She blushed deeply. 'I can't believe I even thought of that!' She scolded herself in her mind.
Soon they were at Hikaru's house. When they got there, one of Hikaru's brothers walked out. (AN: I don't know what Hikaru's brother's names are so please don't yell at me for not using them.) He had a bright smile until he saw Leo. "Uh, oh… This is not good." Hikaru sighed.
"Hey! You're that guy in my class!" He shouted. "What are you doing with Hikaru!?"
"I was just being a gentleman and helping her carry her books home." Leo said calmly. "Here you go." He handed the books to her brother. "Now I must go home." He turned and walked away.
"Class, today is the school trip. Please bring your lunches and we will assign teams on the bus." Mr. Peragrew announced. Everyone got on the bus and Mr. Peragrew started putting groups together.
"Hikaru, Umi, Fuu, Paula, Chris, Andrew and Fred, you will be in a group.
"This could be a good thing for us." Chris whispered to his "brothers" and "sister". They nodded in agreement.
The trip was just to a park in town for a picnic lunch and boat rides through the lake. (The groups were for who would go on what boat.) They all went on the boat ride then the girls and the Kawazaki's ate lunch together. By the end of the trip they were all good friends.
Days after the school trip Umi had been out of school for four days in a row. "Okay, I'm getting really worried." Fuu said.
"Ya, Umi's parents are supposed to be gone all week, so she's home alone." Hikaru agreed.
"Someone should go check on her." Paula suggested.
"But who?" Andrew asked. Everyone turned and looked at Andrew. "What!? Me!? Are you crazy!?" Andrew whined.
"Oh don't be such a baby!" Fred laughed.
"Go call Cald….. I mean, Mom and tell her to come dismiss you." Chris said
"And when you get to Umi call my beeper once if you're coming back and twice if you are staying. Then we'll call you back when we get a chance." Hikaru explained.
Andrew nodded, then walked out into the hall to the pay phones.
Soon Mrs. Kawazaki showed up and took Andrew to Umi's house.
"Ohhhhh……….." Umi groaned. She did not feel well at all. She was too weak to even get out of bed and call someone.
Suddenly she heard a car door and footsteps walking up to her door. She tried her best to look out her bedroom window.
"Andrew!? Is that you!?" She called.
"Ya!" Andrew replied.
"Oh, come on in! The key is under to mat." Umi told him. 'Finally, someone to help me.' She thought.
Soon Andrew was at Umi's bedroom door. "Are you sick?" He asked very concerned. "No! I feel terrible!" She moaned.
"Why don't you take some medicine?" Andrew suggested.
"Sure, It's in the cabinet in there." Umi said pointing to the bathroom.
Andrew went and soon came back with the medicine. He gave it to Umi then went to call Hikaru's beeper twice.
Later in the day Andrew offered to make some soup. He went to the kitchen and somehow managed to make a decent bowl of soup for his love.
"Thank-you." Umi said as she tasted it. Andrew was relieved that she liked it.
The rest of the day was spent as a time to get closer to each other but Umi still didn't remember him, let alone know how he felt.
"So what time are your parents getting back?" Andrew asked.
"Late tonight." Umi replied.
"I'll stay with you until then." He whispered.
"Thanks." She sighed.
Later that night Umi was sleeping and Andrew was down in the living room reading the comics from the newspaper. Then he heard a car pull up, and soon Umi's parents were at the door.
"Who are you!?" Her mother shouted.
"Please, please, I'm sorry that I scared you. My name is Andrew Kawazaki, I'm a classmate of Umi and she has been sick, so I was taking care of her." Andrew explained.
"Is she all right!?" Her father asked.
"Yes she's upstairs sleeping." Andrew told him. "I have to go home now, so good-bye." Andrew left.
"I will tell, I will her." He said determinedly as he walked home.
