Chapter 3: Little Lies Make Big Lies.

Rika waiting pateintly in the kitchens for Henry's friend Jeri. She seemed nice, willing to offer her hospitality to a complete stranger. Jeri had a kind face, warm understanding blue eyes and longish brown hair. She had a cheery manner and was very girly, the utter opposite of Rika.

"All done. So lets go upsatirs to my room." Jeri headed up the satirs toward the back of the kitchen, obviously leading to her 'apartment'. Rika followed.

Jeri's house was traditional with a comfy and welcoming scent and scenery upon the walls. Fmily pictures hung up in the long halls and bouquets of flowers were scatterd about randomly on end tables.

Jeri's room was on the second floor. Filled with girly ornaments and yellow wallpaper. Rika guessed yellow was the brunette's favourite colour, although even a blind person would be able to tell that the way she said

"I know it's bright but it's such a nice colour, like sunshine!" Jeri smiled from ear-to-ear. It was almost impossible to tell that this girl was sixteen. She was a very feminine girl, the type of girls Rika dispised, although all the girls Rika knew had noses permantly stuck up in the air. She didn't think they knew the meaning of friendly manners. All they cared for was money.

"So let's begin, tell me about yourself? You're awfully quiet!" Jeri was still smiling at Rika and motioned for her to sit on the couch opposite her bed.

"Well my name's Rika. I'm sixteen and from China. That's all I have to tell really." Rika shurgged as she sat down. Jeri looked at her frowning.

"So do you have any interests? or hobbies?" Rika thought for a while.

"Yes I suppose. I know a few languages, Japanese, Chinese, English and French. I was taught them back at-"

"Home?" Jeri finished for her.

"Yes home."

"Are you feeling homesick? Do your parents know where you are?" Jeri asked serious and concerned. Again Rika thought for a little while.

"No, im not homesick. And my mother send me here as a new experience. I think i'll be here for a while."

"Oh that's great, and instead of staying at a hotel you can stay here!" Jeri exclaimed smiling once again.

"That's real nice of you Jeri. But my Grandma lives a little way away, i'll stay with her. That was the agrangement. But she's out of town at the moment. My plans were to surprise her and come early." Rika didn't want to lie like this. Especially to Jeri. She was treating her so nicely. Her statement was half-true. Her grandma did live nearby. But they hadn't spoken in years, scince Rumiko had married Rika or Ruki's father. But it just wasn't a good time to tell her everything. She was sleepy.

"Oh okay then. Well, will you still hang out with us. I'm the only girl, well apart from Suzy and Ai. Then there's my boyfirned Takato, but it'll be much nicer with a girl my age." Jeri said, intrupting her thoughts.

"Oh yeah sure. Jeri, I'm kinda tired. You mind if I wash up and go to sleep?" Rika asked getting up from the couch.

"Oh right the bathroom is just through there. I'll make a bed up for you."

Rika made her way outside Jeri's room and into the bathroom across the hall. She couldn't believe she had made it this far. Rika washed her hands and face, brushed her teeth and got into her pajamers.

When Rika had made her way back to Jeri's room, she noticed that a bed was sitting in the place of the couch and Jeri was in her bed fast asleep. 'Hmmm, the girl must have been tired.' and with that Rika turned into bed herself and went to sleep.

A/N: I know this is a really short chapter, but I couldn't think of anything else to write. I promise I have a plot for this story! Just Keep reviewing please! This is the most response I have ever gotten for a fic, so tell all your friends about it too!
