Chapter 10: Get together
And so, the week went by as usual, with Mitsui, Sakuragi and Aya bickering at every moment they got. Finally it was Saturday morning.
"Ring, ring!" the phone rang.
"Which stupid idiot is calling so early in the morning?" Aya grumbled as she got up from her bed and went to answer the phone. It was actually noon.
"Talk to me," Aya said sleepily as she flopped back into her bed.
"AYA!!! Oh my god! It's been so long since we talked! How have you been?" yelled a voice.
Aya winced at the loud noise. "Yumi?"
"Duh! Oh and Rika's on the line too," replied Yumi.
"Hi Aya!" came a more calm voice.
"What are you all doing calling me so early in the day?" demanded Aya.
"Come on, Aya, it is already 12. It is time to wake up, right?"
"No."
"Whatever you say, Aya. Anyway, tonight you are going out with us. Charlie misses us at his club. He keeps on saying that his four angels are missing from his club and that he misses our voices. So we promised that we will be there," Yumi said excitably.
"Ok. Have fun. Bye."
"Wait! Aya, you are coming with us. What good are our voices if we don't have you? Please come! It's been so long since we really hung out. Please?" Rika pleaded.
"If I say yes, would let me go back to sleep?"
"Of course!"
"Fine, see you guys at my place at 7 then. Bye," Aya switched off her phone and immediately fell back to sleep.
Later at around 7.
Kyo dragged himself out of bed and went and answered the door.
"Hey Kyo!" chimed 3 voices.
"Hey, how ya doing? You all look very nice. Going out?" Kyo replied.
Yumi was wearing a black miniskirt with a pastel pink tube top. Ayumi was wearing pants with a lilac halter top. Rika was wearing also wearing pants with a silk baby blue sleeveless top.
"Yup, we were going to Charlie's. You want to come along?" Ayumi asked.
"Maybe I will catch up with you guys later," Kyo said, smiling at them. Rika blushed as Kyo caught her eye. Apparently she had a crush on her best friend's brother forever but never had the courage to tell him.
"You guys are here already?" Aya asked, emerging from her room as everyone gasped.
Aya was wearing a knee-length midnight blue spaghetti-strapped dress with shinning crystals scattered on it. The colour of the dress set off her beautiful eyes and the crystals the mischievous glint constantly in her eyes. Her hair was brushed down and the look was complete with a pair of sliver heels.
"Oh my god, Aya! You look like a million dollars!" Yumi exclaimed.
"Let's just hope you are not right. I don't want to be kidnapped or anything tonight," Aya laughed.
"She is right, honey. You look beautiful. Now, go out and do anything which is not illegal. I will come around to the club later on, ok?" Kyo said as he brushed Aya's forehead with a kiss.
"Thanks, bro. Love ya! Bye!" Aya said as the gang left.
"God, she reminds me so much of mom. Oh, well. Maybe I will call Sendoh and see if he wants to go down to the club with me," thought Kyo as he picked up the phone.
On the way to the club.
"So, Aya. Any boys pinning for you yet?" asked Yumi, slyly.
"Of course not!"
"She's lying! She gets fan mail everyday in her locker!!!" Ayumi blurted out as the other girls whistled and Aya glared at her.
"Let's not talk about me, ok? How about Ayumi and someone called Kogure Kiminobu?" Aya shot back as Ayumi blushed a fire hydrant red.
"Kogure Kiminobu, eh? Dish out, girl!" Yumi exclaimed.
"Ok, he is a guy in our class and he sits next to her and it is like so obvious that he likes her. But the problem is that he is shy and Ayumi does not want to take the first step either," Aya explained.
"What? Ok, this is what you have to do." Yumi launched into a huge speech.
Aya glanced beside her to Rika, noticing that she had not contributed to the gossip at all. She turned back front and whispered, "So when is the lucky guy going to have a date?"
"There is no guy," protested Rika.
Aya sighed. "Rika, I am your friend. I've been your friend since we were little. Do you think I am stupid or something not to notice your feelings towards my brother? Do you think our friendship is so shallow?"
"No, Aya. I am sorry. I should have known better. But he is older than me; he is so much cooler than me. Why would he want to go out with plain old me?"
"Listen to me, Rika. No one can make you feel inferior. You are who you say you are and I know that you are not plain. You are one of the most wonderful people I know. And if Kyo can't see that, he is an idiot, alright?" Aya lectured.
"Thank you, Aya." Rika replied, close to tears.
"Don't cry now. You will ruin your make-up, ok?" Aya replied as she leaned over and gave her a hug.
Rika nodded and the cab finally reached the club. They paid the bill and got out of the cab.
"Are you guys ready?" Rika asked.
"Totally!" they replied as they linked arms and entered the club
Ok, that's chapter 10! A little different from the previous chapters. More of Aya's friends. But not to worry, the rest of the gang will appear soon. Going to write chapter 11 right now.
