Chapter 9: Amaiko's Memory

After Amaiko got home, she decided to try to take a nap. she had alot on her mind.

[i couldn't tell Ataru i don't have any parents. that would make him think i'm an alien or something.
but why don't i have any parents?? i can't even remember being a little kid. all i remember is waking up here on the couch. do i have amnesia or something? is this even my house??] the last thought alarmed her. she got up and decided to search her dwell. it would be the first time she really looked around the small house.

after an hour of searching, it produced no results.
[nothing. why don't i have any photos or anything?] she remembered a pamphlet she saw in her room that listed all the residents that lived in her private neighborhood. she raced up the stairs. she found the pamphlet and went to where her last name, Haru, would be.
[i'm not in here...so i'm not even classified as even living in this house?! what else can i remember from the day when i woke up here? let's see, i remember looking in my closet and seeing a school uniform. then i felt like i should go to Tomobiki High School. why? i have no idea, but i was just drawn to there...and to my classes.] a flashback of her going to her first day at school came into her mind.

"class, before we start anything else right now, i have just been informed we have a new student. Amaiko?"
she walked in.
"this is Haru Amaiko. let's all say hello."
"hello, Amaiko." the class said without much expression.
"i trust that you'll all treat her with respect. let's begin."
at lunch, Amaiko saw Ataru standing next her in the lunch line. he stuck out to her because she remembered seeing him flipping a girl's skirt earlier that morning.

later, as she was coming back from the bathroom, she bumped into Ataru in the hall. she couldn't remember which floor her class was on.
"oh, sorry." he said "whoa, what a babe. you new here?"
her face turned slightly red at his comment. "yes. yes i am. i'm lost. could you tell me where the stairs to this floor is?" she pointed to a spot on the map.
"that's the same floor my class is on. come on. i'll walk you there."

they were almost to her class.

"so what's your name anyways?"
"Amaiko."
"ok, Amaiko, would you like to go on a date with me next week?"
"but i don't even know you. and i saw you flipping a girl's skirt this morning."
"there's time for you to get to know me. and i was just playing."
"funky way of playing. well, alright, i'll give you a chance since i'm a fair person. i only go on a date if i like what i find out about you."
"i can't think of anything there's not to like about me."
"thanks for walking me to my class, Mr. Modest. see you tomorrow at lunch since i'm going to get to know you."
"bye." he said as she walked in.

the flashback ended.

[that's as far back i can remember. maybe i'm an orphan. after all, once you're old enough, i think they let you live on you're own. but that still doesn't explain the reason why i'm not listed in the book. or why i can't remember anything. maybe i hit my head and fell on the couch. oh well. time for me to take a nap.]
