Chapter Two - Living Again
Two years later.
Tsukushi
Being abroad for a year wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I was studying in the London University. I could have gotten into Oxford with my brains and statures but I felt compelled to go to a public university where competition was hotter. I took up a modeling job just a month ago. The pay was good and the hours were flexible. I was becoming quite famous all over London. Because of some ridiculous reasons that my name was "weedy", my manager and best friend, Melissa White, give me a stage name, Rikku Starr. Starr was my English name in London. After 2 years of constant English practicing, I could speak English without an accent surpassing even Melissa. Boy, you should have seen her face when I aced the Essay competition.
I looked out of my dorm into the woods which surrounded the campus. Many teenagers my age where frolicking under the sun. No stress at all. Exams had been taken and all students where give a month's break. Despite other people's apparent joy, I didn't feel that great. I was homesick after being 2 years away from Japan, Tokyo.
Sure, my parents visited me with news about Tokyo. It turned out that Tsukasa had regained his memories and was doing his best to try and find me. Rui apparently had attended a teaching course. My parents were tactful enough to not leak out my location to any people. Yuuki was an exception though, she had actually visited me once on my birthday. She was still that lovely and sweet girl I had grown to like immensely. She was careful to keep this secret from Soujiro though he had questioned her many times.
I find that although life in London is not as stressful as in Tokyo, it's my home, my heart and my compound. I feel that my love for Tsukasa has cooled down greatly but I still love Rui the way he is. It turned out as some rumours said, Tsukasa was "obsessed" with me and Rui promised to work harder to show me results of his hard work when I got back. How I miss my home. Sighing, I took out my 7210 and looked at the snapshot I took of Rui when he was sleeping on the day I left. How I miss my friends too.
A knock came from my dorm door.
"Starr! Get your lazy bum down here and join us for ice-skating!" shrieked Melissa from outside my door. I sighed and switched off my cell and got out my skates.
