Chapter 2: Just Days
That night...
*A party. Right. And I was forced to come. Great.* Aya thought, still huffed about what happened that afternoon.
Flashback
"...that is the reason we would like Aya to come." Ran finished, a bit out of breath.
Suzumi contemplated the situation thouroughly. "A liable reason. My daughter will come, but the two of you, please look after her."
Miyu grinned. "With pleasure madam. And there are the guys here, just in case." Suzumi eyed the males skeptically, her eyes falling on Rei. "Except him I'm afraid. I don't want her near my daughter at any cost. Understood?"
They were surprised at this but Aya managed to say 'with pleasure'. Before the others could react at this, Suzumi gently ushered them out.
End of Flashback
Aya then smiled, her dimples showing. "I wonder what their reaction would have been..."
"Aya."
Aya blinked and looked at her doorway. "Kadsuki! You surprised me!"
Kadsuki chuckled. "You looked so intent sis, I thought I might help out," he explained, walking the length of Aya's spacious blue-and-white room. (Remember, I said they treat each other like siblings.)
"Who wouldn't be intent at what mother just did?! I didn't want to see his face ever again, then there she was, doing it!" Aya retorted.
"Okay, okay, calm down, don't kill me," Kadsuki replied, sweat dropping. "Honestly Aya, that Rei doesn't deserve you. He may like somebody else and you were just wasting your time to him before!" At this, Kadsuki walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Unknown to him, his words echoed continuously at his beloved 'sister' "He may like somebody else and you were just wasting your time to him before..."

Meanwhile, at Rei's house...
He was lying on his bed, thinking about what happened that same afternoon. *Aya doesn't care for me anymore...* Rei reflected. *I wouldn't have cared, but it was the first time she visibly displayed her disdain towards me. If it was Ran, even if she hates me I don't think she would have...* Then Rei shook his head. *Quit it.* At this, he fell into an uneasy sleep.

Monday morning, 4 days before the party, at Ran, Aya, and Miyu's high school...
"I already have what I'm gonna wear!" Ran announced to her two friends.
"Oh. Will you describe it?" Aya asked, looking like she just asked for the sake of Ran's cheerfulness. Ran noticed this but answered anyway. "It's a yellow spaghetti strap and brown leather miniskirt!"
"Sounds good Ran! Mine will be a white skirt and glossy green sleeveless top!" Miyu chattered. "How about you Aya?"
"Whatever I can grab before the party."
"Oh." Miyu uttered softly, failing in cheering Aya up.

That afternoon...
The group met at the park, Aya still quiet and subdued.
*I wonder why Aya is so different today than she was last Saturday... If it was Ran, she could have at least acted normally.* Rei then mentally slapped his head. *Quit it. Why compare them? They're just girls.*
"What do you plan to today Ran?" Tatsukichi asked.
"Hmmm... I would have suggested to shop things for the party but evidently, we're all done so-"
"If we're not doing anything I may as well head home and-"Aya said but was cut when Ran continued, "we can as well hang out at the new park, what's the name? Oh yeah, Scarlet Park."
*Scarlet Park?!*
~*~
*Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no OH NO!* Aya thought,eyes widening. *I knew it!*
Aya saw that one of her mother's companies, Dreams Agency, was directly across the park (well, since they own the park) and her mother's office is visible from below so if her mother looks out of her glass-paned window, she will see Aya with her friends and her friend's friend, Rei. Her mother will not be pleased.
As they sat down at a wooden bench as Tatsuki and Ran got their ice creams, Aya was alert, if ever her mother decides to look out. Rei noticed this but said nothing.
*Why is Aya like this? If it was Ran...* Rei caught himself. *Hell, quit it. Wait? Why am I even comparing them? Is it possible? Me falling for that damn, red haired freak?*
