A/N: Hey, it's me again. Sorry it's been a while to update. I had writers block and that really sucks. This chapter is set on Hitomi's first date with Shane, but it goes wrong. R/R but no flaming.
**********************************************
The sun rose in the sky on the Mystic Moon. Once the light from the outside hit Hitomi's face, her big green eyes opened and she smiled. It was Friday. It was the last day of school for the week and she'd have her first date later on that night, just her and Shane. She immediately jumped out of her bed and began slipping on some clothes.
She quietly snuck by Missy's room, where the little 10 year old slept soundly. On the kitchen table sat a bowl of cereal and some milk. The radio was even on and playing "Sk8ter Boi" by Avril Lavigne. Hitomi smiled as she ate, the words of the song playing in her head as if she knew it by heart. She even closed her eyes and imagined herself singing the song.
Once her food was gone, she walked back to her room (and snuck by Missy to avoid waking he little girl up). She turned on her TV and began listening to the music on TRL. As the TV played one of those Eminem songs (A/N: I can never remember the names of them), Hitomi again tried to shove her way over- stuffed binder into her green binder into her green backpack. By the time she finished, it was time for her to go to school.
Hitomi met Amanda, Nicole, and a few other friends in the front of the school. The girls sat down on a stone bench talking and laughing of anything that popped into their heads. All of them sat down laughing until the first bell rang, forcing them to walk to their mostly boring classes of Hell.
Hitomi was really happy to be in her first period class, mostly because she got to work on her project with Shane. The only bad thing was that she also had to work with Chad and Kyle. Hitomi put her binder and notebook on the top of her table, looked back at Shane, and smiled. Shane blushed as the smile looked at him, making her green eyes sparkle. The two of them stayed in that position even as their group practiced.
Hitomi smiled as she walked to her Japanese class and sat through Japanese, English, and World History. She sat in silence, not talking to any of her friends that tried to make a conversation with her. The bell for lunch rang and she walked like a zombie towards the cafeteria and the table that had her friends around it.
Hitomi sat at the table and took out her bag lunch. As she bit into her green apple, Amanda asked, "So, Hitomi. Where are you going on your date?" "I'm not sure." Hitomi answered. "Really? I have a good idea." Amanda told her. "Me too!" The rest of her friends cried out. "Okay, tell me." Hitomi said. The suggestions began flying at her.
"Go to the movies. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is playing and it's supposed to be good." (A/N: I haven't seen the movie yet, but I did hear that it's supposed to be good.)
" No, go to out to get a burger and hang out at his house."
"That's not a date! Go out and watch the sunset at the beach."
"Nicole, that went out 30 years ago. There's an *NSYNC concert tonight. Hitomi, you should go to that."
"Uhhh...Amanda...I don't like *NSYNC." Hitomi said, "I think I'm going to talk Shane into taking me to see 'Pirates of the Caribbean'." Joy smiled. The girls then began eating their lunches.
The last 20 min. of lunch was continued with the conversation about boyfriends...Mostly about Amanda and Hitomi's. The bell rang and all the girls except Hitomi were upset about going to their 5th period class. Hitomi walked to the locker room and changed into her PE uniform. Not long afterwords, Shane walked up to her.
"So, where to you want to go tonight?" Shane asked Hitomi. Hitomi paused. She had just forgotten what she wanted to do for her first date. "I...don't really know." Hitomi answered, "What about you?" Shane stopped for a minute to think.
"Wanna see a movie?"
"Okay, what do you wanna see?"
"What about 'Pirates of the Caribbean'?"
"All right. My friend, Joy, said it's supposed to be good."
"Good, I'll pick you up at your house at 6:15 so we can be on time for the movie."
"You know where I live?"
"Yeah. I came over 3 months ago to do that other Physics project, remember?"
"Oh yeah."
Mrs. Tompkins blew her whistle and class began. The period ended to quick to Hitomi that she almost couldn't believe it. She dressed back into her regular clothes and stuffed her PE uniform into her backpack (A/N: Usually at my school, you have the weekend to wash your uniform) to take home and wash over the weekend. Hitomi walked to her final class and was nervous for her Geometry test.
The test wasn't as hard as Hitomi thought it would be. The directions were confusing, but once she figured out what they were, the answers weren't at all hard to get. Once her test was completed and turned in, a note appeared on her desk. She was confused, but opened it up anyway. Hitomi's eyes went wide as she stared at the big, bolded letters on the piece of paper that read, "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING OUT WITH SHANE!!!"
"Who the hell is writing these notes?" Hitomi asked herself. She then ignored it because the bell rang, ending the school day. As she walked to the door of the Geometry room, she threw the note into the garbage can and met Nicole, Amanda, and Joy outside of the Geometry room.
"So, where are you going?" Amanda asked Hitomi. "Shane and I are seeing 'Pirates of the Caribbean'." Hitomi answered. "Cool. Call me and tell me how your date went." Amanda said to her. "Me too!" Joy yelled. Nicole shrugged, "Me too. I guess." "Okay. See ya later, guys!" Hitomi called as she ran to the alley and was driven home.
Hitomi ran to her "room" and immediately tried picking out clothes for her date. It wasn't very hard to do. Pretty much all the clothes were jeans, shirts, and socks, nothing special. She was grateful for that. Since Hitomi had her pendant still, it would stand out. Time flew by quickly and at 6:15, like he said, Shane picked her up.
The theatre wasn't very far away, so it didn't take long to get there. The only problem was getting in. They went to the woman at the front and asked for two tickets to see 'Pirates of the Caribbean', but the woman frowned and said, "Sorry kids, it's sold out. In fact, the only movie that's NOT sold out is the new romance movie, 'Love You Forever'." Hitomi and Shane looked at each other and shrugged. At least it was a movie, so they got two tickets to 'Love You Forever'.
During the first half hour of the movie, both Hitomi and Shane stared in boredom at the boy and girl on the big screen. "Oh Johnny, must you leave so soon?" The girl asked the boy. "Yes, Amy. I have no choice. It's what my father wishes." The boy answered. "But..." Amy began until Johnny cut her off.
"Amy, my precious Amy. You know why my father wishes me to leave, right?"
"Yes, Johnny. Your father wishes you to complete your final year in the military. But, how can I live without you?"
"Amy, I'll be in your dreams and thoughts knowing that I'm alive and waiting to see you."
"I love you, my beloved Johnny."
"And I love you, my precious Amy."
"Johnny..."
"Amy..."
"Johnny..."
"Amy..."
The conversation went on for 10 more minutes. After that 10 minutes, Shane turned to Hitomi and asked, "Can we leave now?" "God, yes!" Hitomi cried. Both Shane and Hitomi left the theatre.
"Damn, that is one of the crappiest things I've ever seen!" Hitomi yelled. "Yeah, hey it's only 7:45, wanna go somewhere else?" Shane asked. "Okay. Where do you wanna go?" Hitomi asked. "Wanna get a burger at McDonalds?" Shane asked. "Sure." Hitomi nodded. The two of them headed towards the local McDonalds to grab a burger. What they didn't know was that right behind their car was a blue Porsche with 5 people in it and it followed their every move.
The McDonalds that they tried to go to closed early just like all the other fast food restaurants for many stupid and annoying reasons. "What do you wanna do now?" Shane asked Hitomi. Hitomi shrugged, "I don't know. Wanna go shopping?" Shane shrugged, "Sure."
Hitomi and Shane drove towards the direction of a local Wal-Mart. The people behind them grumbled. "Dammit! When the hell are they going to stop?!?" Once of the figures nearly yelled. "Shut up!" Another figure hissed, "They'll stop soon and we can spy on them." The local Wal-Mart was still open, so Hitomi and Shane walked inside. The second they did, the intercom went on and said, "Attention, Wal-Mart shoppers. This store will close in 5 minutes." The two teenagers turned and walked back to Shane's car.
All the other stores were closed, so they did their final suggestion: sit on a bench in the park and watch the stars (it was dark outside). On their way to the park, Shane turned on his radio and got an important news bulletin. "This is a message from an anonymous person to Hitomi Kanzaki: stay the hell away from him, Hitomi!" The new broadcaster announced. Shane sighed and turned his radio off and kept driving. Once at the park, as they planned, Hitomi and Shane sat on a park bench, watching the stars.
They sat for 15 minutes, the 5 figures in the car watching them when they go impatient. "Dammit, make them do something!" One figure complained. "Can do." Another answered and pointed to a faucet that had 6 hoses for sprinklers in it. One turn of the faucet and Hitomi and Shane would be soaked like drowned rats. The figures got out of the car, snuck to the faucet, and turned it on to full power.
The sprinklers around Hitomi and Shane went off, soaking them. Both of them looked at the faucet and saw Travis, Kyle, Amanda, Joy, and Nicole laughing hysterically and driving home in Joy's car. Shane walked to the faucet and turned off the sprinklers. Both him and Hitomi looked like a couple of drowned rats. He decided that it'd be best if Hitomi went home to avoid getting sick.
As he drove to Hitomi's house, he apologized for ruining their first date. "You didn't ruin it. Plus I'll be getting back at Amanda, Nicole, and Joy." Hitomi reassured him. Shane smiled. The car approached Hitomi's house, so she gave him a quick kiss, a thanks for her first date, then walked into her house.
She walked into her "room", changed clothes, and collapsed onto her bed. It was only 10:30pm, but she was exhausted. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
End Chapter 9
*********************************************
A/N: Well, that's it. In my next chapter, you'll find out about the curse. Oh, and I do NOT like *NSYNC , so I don't mean to offend you *NSYNC fans. And in this story, Hitomi never did give her pendant to Van, so she still has, and also, she never went home...In case you don't know. Also, there is no such movie called 'Love You Forever'...at least not that I know. I just made it up along with Amy and Johnny. R/R, but no flaming please.
