I Dreamt of You
Chapter 3
Students eagerly raced out of the classroom to the sound of the lunch bell and the teachers shouts of "Slow down!" Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu took their time, lingering in the back until everyone else had left, then walking calmly outside to find a secluded spot in the shade to enjoy their lunches.
Hikaru ran over to unoccupied spot guarded from the bright spring sun by a grouping of trees. It was a favorite spot of theirs, far enough away from everyone just in case the conversation slipped toward a subject that might make others think they were all al little crazy. That didn't happen as often as it used to, but every once in a while it would, and it was better to be safe. Plus, it was nice just to be by themselves. Some of the people in their class were a little annoying, especially the ones that were infatuated with Umi.
Hikaru was already seated and half way down her lunch by the time Umi and Fuu joined her. No matter how old she was and how mature her body appeared, she was still a little kid at her, and they truly loved her for it. They sat down next to her, laughing at her enthusiasm and her usual pleas to trade certain parts of their lunches. Umi and Fuu always traded with her, but the enjoyed teasing her for a while before acquiescing.
"Umi-chan, how are things with Hosaku?" Hikaru said with a nudge and a wink after they had finished eating. "This one's going on three weeks now isn't it? That's a new record!" She giggled and continued to nudge Umi.
"Hikaru!" Umi gasped.
"Hikaru-san!" Fuu tried to look shock but couldn't help but laugh. It was true after all.
"Fuuuuuu! Not you too!" Umi whined.
"I am sorry Umi-san, but Hikaru has a point. By your current record, you should broken up with Hosaku-san about three or four days ago." Fuu smiled at Umi, who slowly turning a very bright shade of pink, while Hikaru continued to watch and laugh.
"We're just having fun that's all. If he's happy and I'm happy it doesn't matter." Umi glared at both until the had stopped being so visibly amused at her distressed situation. "Now, Hikaru...how's Seiya?"
Umi and Fuu burst out laughing as Hikaru nearly choked on her food. She swallowed quickly, with a loud gulping noise. "Uh...he's fine."
"Only fine?" Umi said with a wink.
"Ok," she laughed, "it's going really well. He's a really nice guy! We're going to get coffee after school, at that new cafe down the street. Oooo, you guys should come!"
Fuu laughed. "Hikaru-san, I think he wants to be alone with you, I don't we would be welcome."
"Oh...but..."
"No, Fuu, let's go with Hikaru!" Umi said.
"What??" Fuu asked. "Why?"
"I forgot to tell you this morning, Fuu! Hosaku's best friend has changed schools. He just started here today. He's a really nice guy and his name is Arashi and I wanted to introduce you to him so today after school, I'll invite Hosaku and Arashi, and you and I will go and Hikaru and Sieya will go, it'll be like a triple date!!! I'll go tell Hosaku! Wait here!" Umi was up and hurrying to find Hosaku with out either Fuu or Hikaru getting a word of protest in. She had said her entire speech in a one breath and both of them had been to shocked to speak up and it was too late now.
Hikaru sighed. "Well, that was odd...oh well," she smiled. "This should be lots of fun. Umi always has such good ideas! A triple date! Oh, I can't wait! How about you Fuu-chan?" Hikaru glanced over at her friend, "Fuu-chan...?"
Fuu still sat where she was staring in the direction Umi had run off in. A date? A triple date?? Oh no...I can't go on a date. Ferio...what about Ferio? What would he think if...Fuu-san stop this. Ferio is in Cephiro and you are here and you will probably never see him again. You know this. You have come to terms with this. You need to live your life. He has probably gotten on with his. Ferio...Ferio...I'm sorry...
"Fuuuuuuuuuu-chaaaaaaaaan! Helloooooo! Earth to Fuu-chan!" Hikaru was standing in front of Fuu waving her arms trying to get the attention of Fuu who was finally coming out of her reverie.
"I'm sorry Hikaru-san. What were you saying?"
"Woah, Fuu...where did you go there? Anyway...I was saying, don't you think this going to be lots of fun?"
Fuu smiled. "I'm sure it will be."
"Hikaru! Fuu!" Umi ran back to where her friends were seated and gently sat down beside them. "I talked to Hosaku and Arashi, and they said they could come. This'll be great! Oooo, Hikaru are you sure this'll be ok with Seiya? I forgot to ask you that..." Umi blushed.
"Oh, I'm sure it will be fine Umi-chan, and fun!" Hikaru laughed.
"Oh good. I'm sorry I should've asked you first." Umi turned to Fuu. "Fuu you are going to love Arashi! He's so hot and so nice and really very smart. He was top of his class at his other school! You are going to absolutely looooove him Fuu. I..."
Umi was interrupted by the sound of a bell, the bell signaling to them all that it was time to retuen to class. Lunch was over.
"Oh ick." Hikaru pouted. "I don't want to go back to class. I just can't wait til we get to go to the cafe later!"
"It's alright Hikaru-san." Fuu said guiding the red-haired girl back toward the school, "but the end of the day will be here soon." She smiled down at Hikaru, who still remained the shortest of the three even through their growth spurts.
"Yeah Hikaru." Umi said as the walked in the building. "Now you have something to look forward to anyway." She winked at Hikaru and they entered the classroom, returning to their seats in the back of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The rest of the day passed in a daze for all three of the girls.
Hikaru simply couldn't sit still. She had been excited before about hanging out with Seiya alone. She had been admiringhim for a few months now, sitting next to him in one or two classes, saying hi as they passed in the hall, having brief conversations now and then. But several days ago Umi had decided to take the actions that she couldn't take herself and gave Seiya Hikaru's phone number, suggesting that he give her a call. It seemed to be working so far. They talked for hours everyday. He was scaring Hikaru's brothers though, and vice versa. The first time he called they had threatened to beat him up...that's after they tried to convince him he had the wrong number. She was praying they didn't find out Sieya and her were going on their first date today, or things were definitely going to be interesting...as long as she could stop feeling so guilty.
Umi couldn't concentrate on anything the teacher said, her eyes constantly slipping towards the window. She was a little nervous about later, not so much for herself, but for Hikaru and Fuu. Well, she knew Hikaru would be fine. Umi had watched her with Seiya for a while now and was glad when her actions had had the right effect. She'd seen Hikaru interested in a few other guys, but they had never worked out. Hikaru didn't know she talked to these guys about it, and she didn't need to. Fuu, on the other hand, had not seemed interested in any of the guys at school. It was hard for Umi to find someone that she thought would complement her rather shy and independent friend. She knew guys were interested in Fuu, but whenever they had approached her, Fuu didn't even seem to realize that they were interested in anything other then homework help or a little conversation. This had to work out. Maybe if Fuu knew beforehand that it was a date she'd act a little differently. All Umi was concerned about was helping Fuu, helping her find a little happiness.
Fuu paid attention as well as she could to what the teacher was saying and writing, but mainly she concentrated on drawing on her notebooks like always. She doodled little pictures of things from the video games and books that she liked: knights, swords, angels, fairies. She didn't think she was any good at it, but it kept her occupied and mildly entertained during class, kept her mind off the thousand other things floating around her head that she had no desire to think about. The doodling couldn't keep them at bay for long though, and soon she was contemplating this 'triple date' of Umi's. She didn't mind hanging out with her two best friends and their boyfriends, but to have someone there that she was on a date with was a little odd. Fuu didn't quite know what to expect. It's not that she didn't find a lot of the guys in her school attractive or very likeable, it's just that she couldn't see herself with any of them. She couldn't find anyone that seemed to suit her. Not like he did... But she was over that, she should be able to get on with her life the way Umi and Hikaru had. Find a nice boy and start dating him. She just hadn't found the right person yet that's all...maybe this Arashi person would be closer to what she was looking for. If anything it was worth a try...and it would be a good distraction, a good way to keep down those things she didn't want to think about.
The loud ringing of the final bell startled all three former knights out of there introversions. The teacher began yelling homework assignments as students quickly gathered their things and fled, trying not to hear anything that had to do with work or school. Tomorrow was Friday and then began the weekend, work only mattered on Mondays, Tuesdays, and maybe Wednesdays. Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu were out the door quicker then usual today, eager to be out and on their way down the street where they would meet up with a little welcome diversion from their thoughts...
