Chapter 2
Yukari is standing with the girl's team, as they get ready to do their races after the boys. She looks around frantically then checks her watch. Where is Hitomi? She said she'd be here, its already 4:05 and practice is supposed to start at 4:00pm. She knows that so what in the world could be keeping her?
Meanwhile* * *
" Mom what time is it?" "It's 4:05 dear, why?" Oh my gosh I totally lost track of time, and I promised Yukari! Oh, she's going to kill me. " I've got to go to practice see you later!" "Ok, but you'd better hurry then, you're already late" "I know!" Hitomi replies heatedly and sprints out of the house carrying her running shoes.
Ah…there she is. "Hitomi! Come on it's already 4:12pm, where were you?" "Heh! Sorry Yukari, I lost track of time and had to rush over here." " Well at least you're on time for your race, now go!" "All right" "Oh, give me your pendant. It slows you down" Hitomi carefully takes off her pendant and hands it to Yukari. She then walks over to the starting blocks and takes her position. " Ready…Set…Bang!" With that everyone charged off their blocks. Hitomi now leading and she finished first with a time of 12.2seconds.
Hitomi is leaning on her knees trying to catch her breath when Yukari runs up to her. "Hitomi that is a great time, especially since you haven't been here" She stops in front of her panting friend. " No…It isn't…I… can't seem…to break…12 seconds…" "That's ok Hitomi" Hitomi straightens up to face her friend. "If you want to break 12 seconds then I suggest you come to practice from now on." "Ok, I'll be here everyday then" "Good, now I've got to run, my mom wanted me home early today. I'll see you tomorrow" " Alright, tomorrow then." " BYE!" "GOODBYE YUKARI!" Hmmm, it seems like Yukari has a lot on her mind. Hope she's all right.
Later that night* * * *
CRASH! "Huh?" Yukari looks up from her homework, quite startled. " You son of a bitch that was my lamp!" "Well it shouldn't have been there!" "Whadda ya mean? It was on the end table! Maybe if you weren't so drunk you would've seen it!" Yukari sighs heavily and puts her head in her hands. Why do they have to fight so much? Don't they see what it's doing to me? No, they don't and they don't care.
A/N: If you haven't figured it out yet (cause I'm not being very obvious) it's in Yukari's point of view. I thought it would be a bit more interesting.
