Chapter 6: Their New Lives

Yuu had avoided Miki very well and he had been going to a different school than her as well. Every now and then he would call home and let his parents know how he was doing. He had some trouble with not being able to lie, but he decided to rather put up with it than screw around with Miki. Not that he didn't want to though.........

OOO

The years went by and the only way Miki would hear about Yuu's wellbeing was when he would make the occasional phone call home. Every time he called he would make sure that Miki was not around to answer the phone. Now he didn't know when she was home or not so he just took his chances. Today Miki was the only one home, for everyone had gone out to dinner. Miki had to stay home to study for exams.

'Ring ring'

Miki stood up from her desk and stretched her arms over her head. "Good, I needed a break anyhow." She said as she walked over to the phone.

"Hello, Matsurra and Koishikawa residence, Miki speaking."

"Miki?"

"Who is this?"

"It's Yuu."

"Oh my gosh. We haven't talked in over five years. How are you?"

"I'm okay. How are you doing?"

"I'm stressed out. I'm studying for my finals."

"Fun. I had my finals last week so I'm all done for the year. Are you excited about next year being your last year for college?"

"Yeah, you must be too. Wow, we're going to be seniors in college. That makes me sound old."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Hey listen is my Mom or Dad home?"

"No, sorry, they went out for dinner."

"Well, let them know that I called."

'Click'

Miki let her anger surface now that he had hung up. She didn't want it to sound like she was angry at him on the phone. If he caught her in a bad mood she would have hung up on him no questions asked. Why am I still mad at him? It's been six years since I last saw him. I shouldn't care about him by now.

OOO

Yuu sat there wishing that he could go back and make everything right again, but it was too late. They had gone their separate ways.

OOO

"Miki, we are so proud of you!" Rumi exclaimed as she hugged her daughter.

"Congratulations on graduating college, Miki!" Jin said. Everyone was congratulating her on her 'great' success.

"What next, Miki?" Youji asked.

"I think I'm going to move closer to the city and find a job that has to do with an office. I've already been looking at some apartments."

"Now Miki's going to be leaving us to! They just grow up too fast." Chiyako said.

Miki laughed. "Come on guys, it's not the end of the world."

OOO

Miki finished carrying the last of the boxes into her new apartment. "Phew."

She looked around her new home. There was a small kitchen with only the basic necessities. A family room was right next to it. It was small too, but was the perfect size for Miki. She had gotten a one bedroom apartment because she couldn't afford the two bedroom one. It wasn't the best apartment in the city, but at least it wasn't a dump.

Miki had gotten a job as a secretary at the J.A.C., Jefferson Architecture Company. It was the biggest architect company in the city and the pay was decent. This job had not been her first pick, but there were no other job openings available. She started tomorrow and she only had to work during the weekdays, lucky her, unless her boss needed her for something. She was to get a more detailed description of do's and don'ts tomorrow.

OOO

"And here is the copier room. If you need to make any copies you make them here."

Miki nodded. She was in the middle of getting the grand tour of the company.

"And here is your office."

Miki stepped inside. On the desk it had her name engraved onto a plaque which stood tall. She ran her fingers over it and smiled. On the desk was a computer and a telephone.

"You can bring in personal items to set on your desk. But since you are a secretary try to keep your desk neat and orderly because a lot of important people come in here."

The room looked quite comfortable. There were two couches and a coffee table in one corner of the room and the entire room was a giant wall of windows.

To the left side of her desk was a door with blinds. "Oh, that is your boss' office. You are to be his personal secretary. You are very lucky; most people would kill for this secretary job. This guy is our best architect so I suggest you treat him with respect. Well, I guess I'll leave you with this booklet. Today, just spend time getting to know your boss and what he wants you to do daily around the office. Also, read this booklet." The man looked around. "Alright, I guess that's all. Payday is the first weekday of the month"

The man exited the office leaving Miki alone. She placed the booklet onto her new desk and walked around her new office. Everything looked very professional and so exact. She studied the room carefully and then eyed the door to her boss' room.

Hm, should I?

She smiled as she slowly walked over to the door. She placed her hand on the doorknob and began to turn it, but then she heard her office door open. She retracted her arm and spun around to find a very familiar face.

"Miki?!"
