:: Chapter 3- New Friends ::
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Hi! This is em…. Welcome to my chapter 3! I hope you like it! Once again I got impatient and couldn't be bothered to wait for reviews.
Anyways… lets see… everything is the same as before except that I am trying a new "thinking" method with this chapter (so my lines don't disappear magically). When they are thinking it will be in '*…thoughts here…*'..and… (~A/N………if I have anything to say, it will be in brackets and the wavy line…..~)… so, anyways, on with the story!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday 26th April- That night (Takeru left that morning)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A girl was lying down on her bed. Her face looked stunned as she stared dumbfounded at the ceiling. Her room was mainly pink, although some yellows could be seen here and there. It was also completely tidy, as everything had its place.
She was lying on a pink doona, with silent tears running down her beautiful flushed face, and her bottom lip was trembling as she struggled not to whimper while she cried. She had thin, brown hair that just reached shoulders, which framed her face magnificently.
Suddenly her door opened, her door was collaged with pictures of her and her friends, and a cute blonde-haired boy could be seen standing next to her in nearly all of these perfect photographs.
"Hikari?" her mother put her head round the door "dinner is ready."
"Not hungry" Kari sighed
"Kari, come on, you have to eat something." Her mother nagged "You didn't have any lunch today."
"Wasn't hungry then either…" she replied simply to her mother, who let out a deep sigh.
"Kari, I don't think Takeru wanted you to starve yourself just cause he went away…" she said, reaching Kari's soft spot.
"I don't want to talk about it" Kari whispered her reply, unwavering from her cold mood.
"Well, dinners ready if you want to eat anything…" The mother got up from Kari's bed and walked to the door. "Kari? Have you looked in his letter yet?"
"No… I haven't."
"I was just saying, dear, maybe he left a number, that way you could talk to him tomorrow if you want to."
Kari sighed as her mother walked out of the room and picked up the letter in her small, trembling hands.
'Maybe mums right…' the attractive young girl thought miserably to herself for a few minutes before she slowly opened the envelopes seal and emptied the precious letter out. With the letter came a small necklace. It was all silver with a small angel, an angel with golden wings.
It was beautiful, plain and simple but lovely, absolutely perfect. Kari stared at the necklace, astonished. She had shown this necklace to T.K when they were at the mall, about a month ago, but she didn't think he had taken any notice of it.
After staring at the attractive silver necklace for a few more minutes, she moved her focus to Takeru's letter and opened it, carefully, as if she was handling priceless glass.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Kari,
Just wanted to tell you what a great friend you are.
I'm going to miss you heaps while I'm gone, you're my best friend and always will be. Forever…
Anyways, we'll keep in touch, right? We don't know our new phone number yet, but you can reply to this address:
Takeru Takaishi
37 Aver Rd

Maybe one holiday soon I can visit Japan, or visa versa? You never know.
I'll miss you heaps, Kars.
Love
Takeru.
P.S Please reply : ) Missing you already
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(A/N: hmmm, soz…. I sorta ran out of ideas, I hate it when predictable things happen, and I made the end of the last chapter so dramatic it was sort of hard to think of a way to make the letter really sweet, but not a confession…yet… ah well, sorry that letter was so bad.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kari read the letter; her beautiful crimson eyes were fading with unhappiness and loneliness. Although these were feelings that Kari had been fighting against in the past week, she didn't know it would be this hard when he was actually gone.
She sighed deeply as her thoughts spun around her head, like they were inside a washing machine, going around and around and around and…. (~A/N you get the point… I'm in a random mood… sorry~)
Slowly she got off her bed, and walked to her mirror, putting on her gorgeous necklace, before sitting down at her desk, reaching for a pen and her nicest writing-paper, and started to write, as emotionally heartbreaking words came from her head, straight onto the piece of paper, as she wrote the reply to her best-friend Takeru.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday- 5th May (Australia)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP…Takeru woke up abruptly from his sleep as his alarm clock beeped noisily. The teenage blonde had to look at his surroundings for a second, before remembering where and when in time he was.
'Monday…' he thought dejectedly. ' My first day at school'
Takeru's week could've been much worse. He missed all his friends dearly, especially his brother, Yamato and his best-friend (also secret-crush) Kari, but other than that, he hadn't found it that hard to settle into the comfortable surroundings of the northern-suburbs in Sydney.
The house that they had moved into was extremely small, but quaint and homey. It was almost like a cottage and was very close to T.K's school, so he could walk to and from school. It was the first day back at school for everyone, the Easter break had just finished and so he wasn't joining school in the middle of a term. Takeru was used to changing schools a lot, so he wasn't sure why this day had been freaking him out so much
'I guess I've never changed schools interstate before' Takeru sighed loudly as he got out of his warm bed, shivering madly because of the crisp autumn air that had filled up his room due to a problem with one of his windows.
' at least it doesn't snow here…' he thought bitterly, glaring at the half open window, for no apparent reason, except for the fact that he was really cold. He sighed again, and slowly got ready for school.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A bus just pulled up at the stop located a few metres away from T.K's new home as Takeru closed the door behind him and walked down his steps onto the footpath, that was crowded with the passengers from the bus, mainly school children. The cute-blonde boy looked at the golden-leaf covered footpath and shivered in the autumn wind.
"Hi!" A girl smiled at him. She was about his age, with long blonde hair, blue eyes and a funny purple beanie was covering her ears. Her hands were interlocked with a blue-eyed boys hand, and they were obviously an item. The boy had medium length dark hair that was drawn into a ponytail. He was also wearing bandana, and at first glances anyone would think he was a rebel.
"I'm Zoë, but most of my friends just call me Z." she told Takeru, smiling. "and this is Koji, and Takuya." She continued, indicating to her boyfriend (Koji) and a boy that was walking on the other side of Koji, this boy had messy brown hair that was covered by a cap he had on back-to-front. On his cap were a pair of goggles.
"I'm Takeru. I just moved here." Takeru smiled back at the girl and boys.
"Really? your in year 7, right?" Zoe asked with interest.
"yeh, I am"
"Cool! You must be the new boy that our teacher told us about!" Z smiled happily.
"Where did you move from?" Takuya asked from the other side of the footpath joining in on the conversation.
"Japan." Takeru replied.
"Koji? Didn't you used to live there?" Takuya questioned his friend.
"Yeh. But only when I was little." Koji replied, his voice sounded just as Takeru had imagined, cool. (~A/N and soo cute! ^_^~)
"Do you speak any Japanese?" Takeru questioned all of his newfound friends.
"Yeh, I'm fluent. My parents are divorced, when they separated, me and my dad came to live over here, but my mum still lives in Japan, so I have to know Japanese so I can interact with my mum and siblings, if I ever meet them." Koji replied softly. It was obviously a topic that he didn't like to dwell on.
"I've started learning it this year, and I want to continue on learning it." Takuya said "but I'm not very good." He added, obviously scared that Takeru was going to start speaking rapid Japanese to him.
"I know nothing… but I can speak Italian… if that helps." Zoë smiled (A/N she smiles a lot, ok)
Suddenly the school came into view, and Takeru felt his stomach lurch, but he tried to hide his nervous emotions on the outside.
Zoe saw right through him though "don't worry Takeru!" she assured him "we'll help you around today, you'll fit in just fine, you wait and see."
Takeru smiled, partly reassured, although Koji looked slightly jealous at all the attention Takeru was getting from the blonde girl. (~A/N, I don't mean that in the offensive dumb way, just in the you've got blond hair way~)
"thanks" Takeru somehow managed to whisper, although his heart was beating so fast he probably wouldn't have been able to count his pulse. (if he had wanted to for some strange reason)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The 4 of them walked through the school gate, and into a brick building which was obviously the office. Takeru almost shielded his eyes as he walked through the door of the office. The walls were all white, and the sun was blaring in through the window, making the room sort of fluorescent in a white way.
Takuya laughed as he saw Takeru squinting, desperately trying to make his eyes adjust.
"that's why I have goggles!" Takuya joked, although he did reach up to his cap and pull his goggles over his eyes. This act of immaturity made his 3 friends start laughing hysterically. Everyone was laughing, except for the lady at the desk who glared at the brown haired boy.
"TAKUYA! There is a time and place for those things, and right now is NOT one of them." She shouted.
"sorry, I couldn't see you there." Takuya said as he took the goggles off, and his friends stopped laughing and became serious again.
"I hope you have a reason for being here." The lady stated in a strict and formal manner, as she tapped her pencil on her desk.
Zoe stepped forward, dragging Takeru with her. "Takeru would like to know where he is supposed to go, he is new."
She spoke on behalf for him. Takeru was grateful to her, he didn't exactly trust himself to speak, he was so nervous that he was almost shaking.
"Ah yes, Mr Takaishi." The lady said, staring at the shaking blonde boy. "Will you 3 show him around school? It shouldn't take too long, I will print out your timetable, come back once you know your way around, and you can start your day."
Zoe, Koji and Takuya nodded and pulled Takeru out of the office into the normal light, and Takeru's day at school began.
It wasn't half as bad as he had expected. He was with Zoe, Koji and Takuya for all of his lessons, and the 4 became great friends in a matter of minutes. They also took to the nickname "Tee" , but he had to admit, it was a better nickname than "Teeks" which Tai had christened him just before he left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bye Tee, See you Tommorow." Zoe yelled, as she clung onto Koji's arm. The boys waved as they got on the bus, and Takeru walked inside his house.
"Hi Mum, I'm home" Takeru yelled to his mother, who was busy on the computer typing up a report on who-knows-what.
"Oh, hi T.K, did you have a nice day?"
"yeh, much better than I expected." He replied smiling.
"oh, T.k, there is a letter for you, I think its from Kari. Its on the Kitchen Bench."
Takeru rushed forward and grabbed the envelope…. 'Pink' he thought, disgusted 'shouldve guessed' as he dropped his bag and walked to his room and opened the letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Takeru,
I miss you so much. School isn't the same without you. Daisuke is following me around like a lost sheep, and its really starting to annoy me with you not around to joke about it.
I hope your having a fun time in Australia. Is it beautiful? Do you live in your own house? We didn't really have much time to talk before you left; the time flew by like a blur.
I really miss you so much Takeru…. You are my very best friend, and I hope all the Australians down there are treating you all right, cause if they aren't they will have to talk to me… ^_^… anyways…. I miss you heaps, please write back and tell me all about Australia…. Do you ride Kangaroo's to school? Someone at school told me you do… I dunno.
Anyways…. Missing you heaps.
Love, your best friend
Hikari.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Takeru stared at the letter, and realized how much he missed her. He watched the sun as it slowly set, making the orange and gold leaves on the trees seem bright and romantic.
' Kari would love it here. ' he thought to himself 'if only she could visit…' he pondered on that thought for a few seconds, before remembering one thing…. Parents and money… ' yeh right, in my dreams' he thought before getting ready for his next day at school.
