Chapter Fourteen: Friends?
Aiko sat on herm bed, thinking. She was awfully tired after a long day. Suddenly, the phone rang. She yawned. Who was calling her? So, she stretched over to get her phone, answering it. "Hello?" Aiko replied.
"Aiko?" A voice asked. It was Danny. He sounded like he was anxious or something.
"Danny! Hey, what's up?" She said, quite happy that someone had called her. Aiko sat up.
"Nothing much. I am just kind of bored right now. The guys aren't answering their phones. So, do you want to go see a movie or something? We could hang out at your place or my place if you want," Danny suggested.
"Could you hold on for a second?" Aiko asked. Then she covered the part where you talked through and made sure he couldn't hear her as she squealed. Danny was just too sweet and he was asking her out? Danny could get any girl he wanted!! He was asking her out. "Okay. . . are you there?"
"Yeah. I'm here. So, do you think you could come?" Danny asked.
Aiko smiled to herself. "Yes! I mean, yea. I can come," She tried to sound relaxed, but was really extremely excited.
"Umm, okay. I guess I'll pick you up in a minute or so. . ." Danny said. "Bye."
"Bye, Danny. . ." Aiko said. Then, with that, she hung up the phone. "YES!!" She cried.
Then, her mother came running in. "Aiko??" She asked.
"Hi, Mom!" Aiko exclaimed happily. "Umm, my friend Danny and I are going out to the movies. I love you!" She walked over to the door and kissed her mother. Then, she shut the door, leaving a shocked mother. . .
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
By the time Aiko was done, Danny was there. He had been waiting for just a bit. Her father, of course had questioned him. She laughed to herself. "Hey, Danny," Aiko said. Aiko made sure that when she came downstairs she was the star sight. Aiko made sure that her hair was all perfect and brushed out, looking its best. She made sure that she had on the perfect amount of make- up complementing her looks. Everything was absolutely perfect. . . Especially Danny. . .
Danny couldn't help but to look up at her in awe. She was such a beautiful girl. "Hi, Aiko," He greeted. "So, are you ready?" He asked.
Aiko nodded. "I'm ready," she said. Then, Aiko caught up with him and the two walked outside together. . .

Leo sat on his bed, drawing. . . again. He had been bored all day and had nothing to do. No one was home. His brother had gone out. Mikoto was too busy reading to play games or anything like that. His father and mother were out to eat, catching up on old times. So, basically there was nothing to do. All of the sudden, he heard music. That music was unmistakable, too. It was the famous Avril. She played so good too. Excitedly, Leo jumped up. As soon as he peeked out the window, he saw Avril and her friends playing. Leo smirked getting an idea. "Hmm. . ."
"Leo. . ." said a voice. It was innocent little Mikoto's voice. She had some homework in her hand.
"Miko! Hey! What's up?" Leo said, deviously. "How is my favorite sister?"
She looked at him with a strange glare. "I'm your only sister!"
"That is exactly why you are my favorite!" He exclaimed. " Now, you seem kind of bored Mikoto. Do you want to go somewhere?" Without giving her time to reply, Leo said, "Good! Let's go then!"
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Leo and Mikoto walked outside and went over to the garage band, listening to music. It was so weird how someone could be named after a singer and have the talent to be a singer. That is probably what Leo found was so amazing about her. The two kids waited for the garage band to stop the music and then Leo walked over to Avril and said, "Hey. You and your band play great music!" He exclaimed.
Avril rolled her eyes. "Hey, Leo. What's up?"
Leo felt his hopes high. "Nothing much. Mikoto and me were just really bored. Then, we heard you guys playing and. . . you guys sound great!"
She smiled. "Thanks. . ."
Her guy friends in back of her laughed. They couldn't help but laugh. After all, they had never known Avril to just talk to LEO like that. . . so casually.
"Do you want a drink or something?" She asked.
Leo smiled. "That would be cool."
"Okay, hold on," She said.
"No, I'll help out. . ." Leo said. "Mikoto, stay out here for a bit while I help Avril with the drinks."
Mikoto nodded, rolling her eyes. Sometimes, she just didn't want to grow up if it meant acting stupid like her brother always does. He was always so stupid with people he "likes". That was just plain ridiculous. She would never act that way. Mikoto would just live her life and raise her kids. That was it. There was her plan in life. . . Perfect, she thought as the two teens, Avril and Leo went inside the house.

Chan and Charlie sat on Charlie's bed. It was getting rather late. But her parents would never know. After all, she had snuck out so perfectly that not even she would know if someone else was doing it. Her little sound recorder at her house and could cover for her and Chan would be back before her parents even knew. Who could think of a better plan than that? It was all so perfect!
"Charlie, do you ever wonder what life is all about?" Chan asked, curiously.
"No. I already know!" He exclaimed. "Life is about having fun and being yourself. It's about not caring what others think, and going your own way! There are no real struggles in life unless you want there to be. If you want, you can make it right without a problem."
Chan laughed. "What do you think will happen in a few years from now. I mean, you are a senior and I will bprobably still be in school. Do you think the gang will drift apart?" She brushed her long black hair back.
Charlie looked over at her. He smiled. Then, he kissed her, leaving her shocked. Pulling away , he said, "That is too far in the future my friend. Be prepared, but don't look too far."
Chan smiled, biting her lip. She was not expecting that now. It was a whole new experience with Charlie. She never knew Charlie could be "like that". In fact, she thought he was the exact opposite. But wait. . . did he just say "friend?"
