Second Chappie: Photo

"Who's Maya!!??" asked Ayu, Kaji and Tsujiai.

"Ah!!?? Ahehehe.. Never mind, never mind!!" Nina laughed.

That day, she returned to the human world to live with her best friend Ayu and her friends. Everything is really going fine. And as for her and Tsujiai, they seem closer now than before. But still, nothing official is going on with them. But they both know that they have a thing for each other.

// After classes //

"Ayu-chan..." Nina speaks.

"Yes Nina?" she responded.

"Ayu, I didn't understand everything our teacher taught us this morning."

"Oh Nina... I thought you already know the basics. I reckon it would be easy for you to understand the next lessons."

"It's not working! It's not working!" she exclaimed.

"Sigh.. ok, go to my house and I'll teach you the things I know."

"Wow!! Thank you Ayu-chan!!"

Kaji has baseball practice while Tsujiai has this important club meeting, so Ayu and Nina are left. They went off to Ayu's house to study.

"Please, make your self at home." Ayu mentioned as she fixes some snacks.

Nina went off to Ayu's room to study. She knows that Ayu would be teaching her but she decided to study earlier so that her best friend wouldn't find difficulties in teaching her. Nina placed her bag on top of Ayu's desk. She took out her notes and tried to understand everything that is written on it.

"Lesson 7" Nina read, "..." And that's all there is.

#$%??@

Nina dropped her head on the desk. "Wah!!" She realized that she forgot to copy some things written on the board. Not knowing anything else to do, her eyes just roamed around the desk with her head still on top of her notebook. She noticed a fine picture of Ayu and Kaji. She took it and examined it.

"Wow!! This is pretty!" she uttered. Then she noticed something written at the back of it. It says 'Magical Works'

"Oh!! So this is the photo taken when Yuta visited this place!!"

"! ! ? ? ... Why is my photo in here?? I don't recall giving this kind of picture to Ayu. I don't even remember if I was taken a picture like this... ! ! ? ? That's strange."

As she flips over the photo to see the back part of it, Ayu entered the room saying, "Let's eat!!"

"Huwaaaaw!! I'm excited!!" Nina exclaimed taking her mind off the photo. She dropped it and went over to Ayu.

They went to the dining table.

"Mm!! Sandwiches are good, Ayu!!" Nina mentioned.

"I'm happy you liked it!!" Ayu smiled.

After they eat, Ayu started to teach Nina. Nina tried her best to listen and understand everything Ayu tells her. And luckily, she understands it!!

"Thank you so much Ayu-chan!!"

"No problem, Nina!!" Ayu replied with dizzy eyes.

It's almost midnight.

"Ayu-chan!!" Nina exclaimed.

"W-what!!??" she snapped out of her dizziness.

"I can't go home now.. It's too dark outside.."

"Maybe you could sleep over for tonight..."

Nina jumped off with excitement, "Yey!! A sleep over!!"

"Ok Nina, you can wear anything you want in my wardrobe. Just don't wake me up, ok?" Ayu said then she rested on her bed. Nina nodded though Ayu didn't see it, she was already fast asleep.

Nina went over to her closet she picked some clothes. She chose a pair of white pajamas with bunnies drawn in it.

'Hihi!! I never thought Ayu would have pajamas like this..!' she thought.

She removed her pigtail hair bands and placed it on Ayu's desk. Again, her picture rose into view. She wants to ask Ayu where she got it.

"Ayu-chan-"she stopped. 'Oh yeah, Ayu told me not to wake her up.'

Now, she really looked at the back of the picture guessing that it would have clues in it.

'Magical Works'

"! ! ? ? ... What?? I didn't know Ayu borrowed Yuta's camera after that??"

Then she noticed below the 'Magical Works' that there is something written in it. It is the date the picture was taken. With a gush of curiosity, she grabbed the other photo, the one with Ayu and Kaji.

The dates are similar.

'Who was taken a picture? ... Ayu? ... No, Kaji would just appear on the photo. ... Me? ... Of course not, Ayu would've appeared... Hmm... Who was there??'

'...Yuta'

Thunder struck Nina. 'No! He told me the last shot was wasted on the flowers. ... Of course dummy!! He was lying...'

After having this thought in mind, Nina just placed both pictures on the desk and blankly went off to bed. All night, she can't sleep. Her eyes are widely opened all through out.

// After for some time //

Ayu opened her eyes. It is still nighttime. She looked over to her side to see if Nina is there.

"Eeeek!!!!" Ayu screamed. Nina was still awake. Still eyes wide open and just staring blankly on the ceiling.

"Ayu-chan..." she uttered.

"Nina!!!!" Ayu exclaimed. "Why aren't you asleep!!?? You scared me!! You looked like a ghost." She added.

"You know something, huh Ayu??" Nina looks like a human now.

"Something about what??"

"About the last shot of Yuta's camera."

"! ! ! ... Nina..."

"I saw both photos, the one with you and Kaji and the one that has my face in it..."

"..."

"Ayu-chan, you know something don't you?? ... About Yuta!!"

Ayu never saw Nina so serious about Yuta like this. Now, she thinks if she would tell her or not. She really promised Yuta that she wouldn't tell Nina. But Nina is desperate to know. But... Ayu still thinks that it would be best if Yuta tells her. But... What will she do now??

"I can't tell you..." Ayu said.

"Why?? Why can't you tell me?"

"I just can't."
