Oh wow, you guys seem to really enjoy this story of mine. For that, I am grateful! YEAH! Anyways, onto chapter 2!!!!

2. Informing everyone

For the next week, Amira couldn't stop bouncing off the walls. She was going to Japan! She was going to see her old friends again. Oh God, she was going to see Kai!

She couldn't stop daydreaming either. In class, she couldn't stop doodling Kai's name all over her work. Tawn had to shake her when she started to drift off. Michelle and her gang would pose a threat now and again, but she didn't care. This teen was in heaven!

"So, I was thinking that we could rent an apartment in downtown Tokyo. What do you think?" Tawn suggested as the two walked home slowly. Her car was in the shop, so their choice was the walk. Amira just smiled.

"We don't need to do that. My old friend wouldn't mind us staying at her place. In fact, she would be thrilled."

"Are you sure?" Tawn asked, as they reached the driveway of Amira's house.

"Tawn, don't worry about it. I'll call her tonight and let you know tomorrow ok?" She smiled, walking up the driveway.

"Well, let's keep the apartment option open for now ok? Just in case we can't stay at your friend's house."

"Yeah, sure." Amira waved as her friend continued to walk, and she closed the door behind her.

As soon as she reached her room, Amira started to look frantically for her old address book. When she found it, she nearly ripped the phone off of the stand on her table. Her fingers trembled when she dialed. She was so excited!

"Hello. Tatibana residence."

"Yes, may I please speak to Hilary?"

"Alright, please hold on a moment." Then the woman on the other line put the phone down, but her yelling could still be heard on the receiver. There was about a minute of silence before Amira could hear some noise coming out of the other end. There were the voices of two women and one male. Some picked up the phone finally.

"Hilary speaking."

"Hilary?!!?" was all that she could say. Hilary's voice was now a bit deeper, and harder to recognize. I guess two years apart will do these types of things to you.

"Yes…this is Hilary. Can I help you?" she asked, her tone was quizzical.

"Oh my God…guess who it is." Amira decided to have some fun with her old friend. There was a LONG silence on the other end when her friend finally decided to speak.

"OK, if this is a joke, please stop. I hate you prank callers. I'm going to hang up in 3, 2…"

"Ok STOP!"

"Hmmm?"

"It's me Hilary. It's your friend Amira." She at least expected a squeal from her friend. No, all she got was yet another silence. Amira waited another minute, until a little squeal could be heard.

"Amira? Oh my God! Darling, I haven't talked to you in so long. How are you?"

"Nevermind that, you will find out soon enough." She replied, a huge grin on her face.

"What do you mean, soon enough?"

"You're so silly. I'm coming to Japan in a week!"

Another silence.

"OH MY GOD ARE YOU SEIROUS?!?! THIS IS SOOOOOO GREAT!!!!!!!" Hilary squealed at the top of her lungs, so that everyone's eardrums were bound to pop.

"Yes I'm serious. As a graduation gift, my friend's dad is flying both me and her to Japan for a month!"

That is basically how the conversation caught on. The two friends told each other how life was, and exchanged little stories. Amira found out that Hilary and Tyson were still going strong, which see was very happy about. Throughout the entire conversation, no one else was mentioned, until the Canadian brought it up.

"So how has Kai been doing?"

"Oh, he's fine. You know, the hottest guy in school, that type of attention that he is always getting." Hilary droned in a monotone.

'Well no girl will be able to get to him, because he is mine, all mine.' Amira smiled as she continued to talk to her friends. They arranged that only Hilary could meet her and her friend at the airport, because she wanted to bump into everyone else as a surprise, especially Kai. "Anyways, I have to go now. My grad is coming up soon, and I need to get ready."

"Well alright, call me often, and call me the night before your flight. I'll talk to you later sweetie." Hilary answered as she hung up the phone, only to replace a disgruntled Tyson.

"You shouldn't get her excited like that you know." He spoke softly, almost a whisper.

"I know. It has been two years after all. None of this was expected." She tried to smile but it was useless.

"Well, it will come as a shock won't it? When she finds out?" he asked, wrapping his arms around his love's waist.

"Yes, I suppose so. But we will be here, don't forget." She whispered, as she turned off the lights, as the two of them left the room.

I guess this is kind of a cliffhanger, but I'm not sure about that. I'm kind of pressured for time, so I would have made this chapter longer. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review!
