The Mysterious Outcasts
Chapter 3 - A Weird Coincidence
By Kiela Stargaze
A black haired boy woke with a start, beads of sweat rolling down his face. The lovely moon was covered by small cascading puffs of clouds. His figure silhouetted amidst the moon. He turned on the lamp and took the covers off of him. What an embarrassing, yet familiar dream! He thought as he got out of bed and tried putting his mind on other things than that dream. But as hard as he tried, he couldn't keep his mind off of that woman, that woman who portrayed herself so well. He walked out of the room, only with his sweat pants. He saw that it was around 6:00 in the morning as he walked down the stairs and into the dining room. He smelt the aroma of bacon and eggs. He walked in the kitchen to see a boy with auburn hair and sea blue eyes. His back was facing the black haired boy as he was cooking breakfast. He was dressed in a pair of jeans and green shirt.
"Hey Cye, what're you doing?" asked the black haired boy, startling the auburn haired boy.
"Oh hi Ryo, I'm just cooking breakfast," answered Cye cheerfully as he went to the fridge and took out some orange juice and milk. "What would you like to eat? There is bacon, eggs, and your favorite, strawberry pancakes."
"Ooh, I think I'll have the strawberry pancakes."
Cye nodded and got a plate out of the cabinet above the stove. He put about three pancakes upon the plate and poured orange juice in a glass. He handed it to Ryo. Ryo then poured some syrup upon it.
"Thank you Cye." Ryo said as he went into the den. At that very moment, Sage came into the den, along with Mia.
"Hey guys, how are you doing?" asked Mia as she got herself some bacon and eggs and milk from Cye. She went sit down next to Ryo.
"Fine, and you? Did you sleep well?" asked Ryo.
"Yeah, matter of fact, really good. I had a funny dream." Mia answered.
"And what it that?" asked Sage.
"Well, Kento was in it and he was eating, naturally for him, then he was doing the macarena with food."
The guys busted out laughing just as Kento ran down the stairs and went straight into the kitchen. They heard a big boom, thud, and yell echo throughout the house. Kento came running out of the kitchen with his hands on his head.
"OW,"
"Serves you right for coming into the kitchen while I'm cooking. Why can't you wait patiently like the others! Sheesh, sometimes I wonder why I'm even friends with a pig like you."
Kento made a hurt face and tears came to his eyes like a child. "But Cye."
"No buts Kento, now if you come into the kitchen again, then I'll give you the slow burn."
Kento groaned for he knew that Cye would never talk to him again for the next five days. Ryo and Sage snickered at the tears forming at the brim of his eyes. Kento growled at the two guys laughing at him. He was about to attack the two when...
"Hold it Kento, isn't it your turn to wake up sleepyhead?" asked Mia, trying to calm him down. Kento thought for a moment.
"No, I think it's Ryo's turn to get Rowen up."
"Just go Kento, no use in arguing cuz I've already woken him up twice this week. It's your turn buddy." Ryo retorted. Kento did nothing but complain the while he went upstairs. All of a sudden, they heard a big crash coming from upstairs.
"KENTO! YOU BIG OX! GET BACK OVER HERE, YOU BIG FAT BAKA!" Rowen ran after Kento down the stairs. Kento ran into the den along with Rowen close on his heels. Cye came out of the kitchen just in time to get run over by Kento. The pancakes Cye was carrying splattered everywhere and on top of his head. He gave a frustrated growl as he stood up really fast. Kento gasped and kept repeating sorry.
"KENTO! THAT'S IT! SLOW BURN FOR YOU!" Cye yelled and stormed off to make a new batch of pancakes. "I can't believe that fat cow. All he does is cause trouble!" Cye grumbled to himself as he mixed the newly pancake mix. The day went on as the sun was in the middle of the sky, saying it was noon.
Mia was working on new files of her schoolwork when the phone rang.
"Moshi-Moshi, Cye speaking."
"Yes, is Mia there?" asked a woman's voice.
"Yes, hold on. Mia! Telephone!" yelled Cye from the den.
"Alright, I got it!" yelled Mia as she picked up the cordless phone by herside. "Mia speaking?"
"Hey, Mia, this is Briana Comings of Shinsha University. I have some old files from your grandpa's study room. We were cleaning it and we thought you would like this data?"
"Oh yes, Miss Comings. When should I go pick it up?"
"This afternoon, if it's not too much of a rush for you. Say one o'clock,"
"You can count on it." said Mia. They exchanged a few words more then hung up. Cye came up to the study and brought a mug of hot cocoa for her, since it was a snowy day.
"Who was that on the phone?" asked Cye curiously.
"Oh, that was just a colleague my grandfather use to work with. She found some data files on disks for me to look at." Mia answered. "I'm suppose to go pick them up around one. Wanna come?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Hey, I'd like to go." Said Kento. "I need to give my application anyway."
"You mean you haven't already?" asked Mia. Kento nodded no.
"Just like that bonehead." Muttered Cye under his breath.
"What did you just say Cye?" asked Mia.
"Nuthin important." Answered Cye. Mia just shrugged as she walked downstairs to get ready. Cye walked out, not even noting Kento following behind him.
An Hour Later...
"See you later guys. I'm gonna go to Shinsha University to pick up something along with Cye and Kento. Any others want to come?" asked Mia.
"Yeah, I'd like to come, Mia," said Ryo as he walked out of the living room.
"Alright. Bye Sage and Rowen."
"Bye guys." Sage and Rowen shouted from their room.
Renée got dressed and walked into the kitchen to cook breakfast. She already saw that Ja'Dee beat her to the punch. She saw that the black haired girl was cooking something other than pancakes. Ja'Dee turned around and grinned.
"Hey girl, how did you sleep." Ja'Dee asked as she put some more rice in the pan.
"Like a baby. That jet lag really had me sleeping a long time. How long have I been out?" asked Renée as she got a plate of rice and noodles from Ja'Dee. Ja'Dee wondered a bit.
"Hmm, let's see, you passed out around probably one in the afternoon yesterday when we got to the apartment and after I cooked us some dinner. Um, and it is around one O'clock in the afternoon now, so I'd say twelve hours."
Renée's eyes got big. "That long huh. That explains why you're cooking dinner." They giggled some. "I'm suppose to meet with someone at Shinsha University today." Said Renée.
"What time?" Ja'Dee asked as she brought her a plate with her to sit at the table.
"Around one fifteen."
"Well, we better hurry up if we want to make it on time."
They ate in silence after that and they finally went into Ja'Dee's car and went to Shinsha. They made it just in time, because it was one ten. They walked into the University and were greeted by a red headed woman.
"Hello, what are you here for?" asked the red headed woman.
"We're here to see a Miss Briana Comings. I'm Renée Carter."
"Ah yes, Miss Carter, follow me please." Said the red headed woman.
They followed her down a narrow hall and she opened up a door that said Briana Comings.
"Miss Briana. Some visitors, Renée Carter and friend."
"Ah yes, so nice to finally meet you in person," said Miss Briana. "Have a seat." They sat down in the cozy chairs and started talking. "Your Orphanage instructors, Miss Fiona Raye and Mr. Caris Fotna tells me that you want to enroll into Shinsha. How delightful.
"Yes mam."
Miss Briana and Renée started talking and then finally what seemed eternity they finished.
"Thanks girls, see you later."
"Bye Miss Briana."
"So you are going to becoming to this college next year. Wow. Your only 16 and you are entering college."
"Well, I wouldn't call it entering yet. It's for a grade to pick out a college in twelfth grade next year. I'm just getting ahead of everyone else."
"Pfft, you'd never see me do tha-a-at Ahh!" Ja'Dee was talking and walking backwards when she fell over someone.
"Hey watch where you're going!" said a boy's voice. Ja'Dee quickly got up and helped the boy up. When he came eye to eye with her, they both gasped.
"You!" said Ryo and Ja'Dee at the same time.
"You who?" asked Kento. "Oh, hey Ja'Dee."
Ja'Dee looked toward Kento and saw the familiar face. "Oh, hi Kento. Who are you with?" she asked, looking at the black haired guy.
"This is Ryo and the two coming about is Cye and Mia."
"Ryo? Oh, so he wouldn't be that boy in..."
"Boy in what?" asked Mia.
"Nuthin, so you are the famous Mia Koji I've been hearing about?" asked Ja'Dee still holding on to the boy's hand.
"Yes. I am." Mia smiled.
"What a strange coincidence." Said Renée, "but it feels as though I've seen you before?"
"Well, not that I recall, unless you were one of Sage's girlfriends." Said Kento with a sly smile.
"No, I just arrived here yesterday from America." Renée said. "By the way, my name is Renée."
Everybody shook hands and talked a bit, then Mia invited the two girls to go home with her and the guys to eat dinner to get acquainted. They accepted the invitation and went about their business. Ja'Dee and Ryo could not stop thinking of how much they looked like the people they saw in their dreams...
