Chapter 20: Juuban As We Know It:
When I called Serena at about 7 for some reason she said she was going to the school. Now on any other day you couldn't get Serena closed to it but today was different. When I walked up to the building I didn't see her and calling her after a few times I saw her. She was sitting on the roof of her school, looking up at the sky. The closer I got to her the brighter her ring seemed to flash in the sun. She had taken it from her necklace and was now wearing it on her finger. We sat on the roof for a few hours until it was actually time to go to class and even though we were right here at the school, we were still late. What else was new?
In the class that Serena and I had together she was to busy writing something to pay any attention so just in case, like always I took extra notes for her. I mean, she was worth it; she was the best friend that I never had.
"Serena…you with us?" I wrote on a small piece of paper and passed it from person to person until if finally reached her. She sat two desks across and one seat back from me.
"I'm just writing a letter to Darien. I haven't heard from him in a while and I just wanted to hear from him…you know?" She wrote back and if finally got to me as the teacher said that classes was dismissed, the day seemed to go by fast enough but not that fast. I think that Serena was so into the note she didn't realize the bell had rang and by the time I walked over to tell her Lita, Mina, and Ami came walking into the classroom.
"Serena, hello…the bell rang…we have gym and you know how Mr. Yukono is…he'll have us running for an hour and if we're late because of you I'm really going to let you have it." Rae said with a small laugh shaking her fist as Serena laughed and said she wouldn't dare and stare as she tucked the letter somewhere and we headed to the locker rooms...
Ami was stretching with Rae and I while Serena was trying to attempt to play volleyball but if just didn't seem to be working. She had her coordination all wrong or what part she was trying to save. It was kind of funny but the coach made us chose activities and Ami, Rae, and I chose running, while Mina chose tennis, and Serena chose volleyball but what Lita had going on out on the football field was amazing. She was hurling a javelin. First it took great strength and balance to do that and she had all of it with one incredible throw. The coach couldn't believe it even some member of the track and field team are extremely impressed so we wanted on her to finish showing off and they said she should go to the championships but like she told us she wants to join the cooking club. She is the best cook I know...
In computer class Ami was working on a computer in the PC club, when a large crowd of older students came to watch. It was so cool to see her so skilled and that so I decided to go check it out for myself. By the time I walked up she was printing out information from the Columbia University she found of the Internet.
Today was such a busy day for everyone that we didn't really get any time to hang out today with all the homework and so many things. None of us even got a chance to check out the Three Lights Concert tonight. I don't know how the guys do it…wait a minute…I didn't see any of the guys today…I wonder what's up? It's probably a famous rock star thing…
I saw Serena turn the corner with her cat, Luna so I decided to catch up with her. I tied my shoes to make sure I wouldn't fall and by the time I got around the corner Serena was talking to Sieya…well, there's one of the boys.
"You again! Hi Sieya..." Serena said as I bumped into her on accident causing her to bump Sieya who seemed not to mind her as she almost fell into her lap.
"Most girls are very happy to bump into me…or even get this close." He said looking down at her as she jumped up and her face turner red. Either that was from anger or embarrassment.
"Sorry…what's up? I didn't see you guys in school today." I said as Sieya crossed his arms and leaned against the wall and smiled at me. His smile made me feel warm inside, I would love it if he paid attention to me like he did Serena…I think he likes her.
"Duty called…photo shoot. That's were I'm going now. The boys are supposed to meet me at the arcade…later Catrina…bye odango atama…got to go meet the boys…see you in school tomorrow." He said waving at us as Taiki and Yaten were waving at us. We waved at them back and then Serena said something to herself.
"What did he call me?" I looked at her and then dismissed it when I didn't understand the question, was it to herself or was I suppose to answer…oh well…
Later on that night back at Michelle and Amara they were helping me with my homework when suddenly they got silent.
"We have to go somewhere Catrina do you think you have it for now?" Amara said as he got up and put his jacket on. Michelle stood up too and almost before I could answer they were gone.
I finished my homework somewhere around 11 or 12 so I guessed where ever they went there were going to be home any time soon. No matter I'm used to it by now. I secretly when they aren't home turn on the radio and dance my heart out to the latest hits…if I do know one thing that I love to do and that is dance. It seems to be one of the things that I do feel I do well enough to call an art.
I woke up to Michelle and Amara talking with Trista until I heard the radio. Something about the Sailor Scouts saved the day again of the life of an up and rising football player named Kayama. He was found unconscious and knew nothing of whatever happened to him.
Since that was enough info to wake me up with dreams of what happened to him could have possibly be what happened to me that night I got up, dressed, and then called Rae…
At the cafe, Serena was telling us about the club she joined; the Manga Club and just as a pre-show of what you have to offer you had to draw a picture of your companion outside school grounds. We all gathered around as she finally finished her picture. It was passed to everyone's hands as Serena waited for approval.
"What do you think it is?" Serena said with a smile. I smiled back and passed it to Ami, who passed it to Mina, who passed it to Lita.
"Um…it's…that's a pig right?" She said with an unsure smile as she passed it quickly to Rae who looked at it again.
"No, you guys it's a…that's a…Tasmanian devil?" She said as Serena snatched it from her and pointed it out.
"No! It's Luna!" She said as we all just looked and smiled and one by one we all turned red as she did too but her redness wasn't from embarrassment but something else. We just looked at each other and then we all laughed even Serena and we told her ways she could improve it as Andrew came back with our shakes…
It didn't look that bad…well…maybe…
