AnnaRose started to hum herself a tune while she walked back to her rooms. "AnnaRose!" It was Julie.
"Hello, again!" said Anna cheerfully.
"I just wanted to give you an invitation." Said Julie as she pressed a slip of paper into her hands. "It is REALLY important to me that you show up. Okay?"
"Sure, you can count on me!" said AnnaRose as she glanced down at the paper. "Tuesday. Hmmm that's my first day of school. Do you know the time yet?"
"Nope, I'm not sure yet. Don't worry, when I find out, I'll tell you."
"Alright, I'll talk to you later then. Goodbye."
"Goodbye!" With a nod of her head she went back into her apartment.
With that behind her AnnaRose went back to her apartment to find Ezmerelda staring at an empty bowl. "Oh, good. There you are. I was getting rather hungry. Where did you run off to anyways?"
"We have already been through this. I told you before I left." When Ezmerelda just stared at her blankly Anna continued. "I went to meet the new neighbors."
"Oops. I forgot." Anna placed the paper down upon the table as she got the cat food out. "What's that?" Ezmerelda asked.
"That is an invitation from Julie."
Ezmerelda frowned. "An invitation already?"
"Yup"
*Tuesday Morning*
~This is the last time…~ Ezmerelda swore to herself. Then she braced herself and pounced on AnnaRose's head. *GASP* Anna sat up with a start, flinging Ezmerelda across the room. "What time is it?" She asked franticly. "OH, NO!" She looked at the clock. "CRAP!" In her frantic rush to get out the door, Anna completely forgot to apologize to Ezmerelda. ~Sigh, nothing new~ thought Ezmerelda. "BYE!"
Anna rushed out the door on her way to school. She vaulted down the stairs to land perfectly. Then she dashed out to her car, and pulled squealing from the parking lot. Well, she made it on time. There was just one problem. She had to check in with the office and she didn't know where it was. She pulled into the parking lot and rushed head long for the doors. Unfortunately before she made it to the doors she rushed headlong into a blond haired girl who was also late. "Oh, my goddess! I'm so sorry are you alright?" Anna asked as she helped the girl up.
"Oh, I'm fine. It's okay really. I'm jus such a klutz. I should have been watching where I was going."
"You sure you're alright?"
"Yeah!"
"I don't mean to be more of an inconvenience. But do you know where the office is?"
"Do I know where the office is? Yuppers! Come on I'll show you!" At this the girl grabbed Anna's arm and proceeded to drag her into the building and down a couple of corridors. "Well, here we are!" She came to an abrupt halt and Anna went flying. *POW* right into the wall.
"Thank-you very much." Anna said while rubbing her nose. "By, the way my name is AnnaRose. What's yours?" Now that she had a chance to think, Anna noticed this girl was about Usagi's age. She actually looked very similar to Usagi. Only this girl didn't have the weird hair do. This girl's blond hair was just down with a headband keeping it out of her eyes.
"My name is Minako! Hey, I know why don't you come and eat lunch with me and my friends?"
"Okay, sure. I'll see you by the big oak in the front?"
"OKAY! See you later!" And with that off ran Minako. After getting her lunch the rest of the day as pretty boring. You know how it can be going to class and everything. Finally lunch rolled around, and AnnaRose made her way outside.
As soon as she was out the door she could hear Minako talking. With a smile she walked over to Minako and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"AHHHHH!" Minako jumped three feet in the air. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you." Anna began. "A HA! Hahahaha you didn't startle me." " Riight" a brown-haired girl said to her left. Then amazingly Minako was on her feet and pushing Anna forward to introduce her to the group. "Everyone, I want you to meet AnnaRose! Today was her first day! Anna this is Makoto, she indicated the brown-haired girl, and that is Ami, this time she pointed to a girl wearing glasses who had short blue hair, And this is.."
"That is Usagi. I met her the first day I moved here. I believe she was visiting Mamoru." Said Anna.
"YUP!" chimed Usagi.
"It's very nice to meet you all." AnnaRose bowed politely. "It is very nice to meet you too." Said Ami and the rest nodded in suit.
"Well, now that we know each other, let's dig in!" said Usagi. Who then proceeded to devour her lunch in a less then appetizing way. The lunch was interesting. Well, at least there was intelligent conversation. Between Anna telling them all about her, like how she was eighteen and why she had moved to Japan, Usagi would occasionally stop her shoveling to ask Motoki if she could have one of Motoki's homemade muffins. Which, might I add, were quite tasty. The girls were relatively easy for her to talk to. Though not as easy to talk to as Mamoru. When she was talking to the girls she felt as if she was talking to younger sisters, whereas with Mamoru she felt they were more on the same level. It was probably the age differences. Well, after lunch it was back to school. Originally, AnnaRose had considered going home right after school but she decided it might be a good thing to check out the clubs.
As Anna sat watching the volleyball team practice, she started thinking about her new friends. ~ Not too shabby so far. I have managed to make a close friend in Mamoru, met up with Julie, and then there are Usagi and the rest~ a smile crossed her face. ~Not bad at all~
