Hmm…This story goes back and forth between different perspectives.
Riku's Journal Entry
November 2-10:09pm
I'm so tired. I've been working since school got out. It's nice to have the extra cash, but sometimes I wonder if Pet World is the place for me. Daisuke came by on his way home and left me a note on my front door. It's a shame that I have to be at work as opposed to being with Daisuke. He truly loves me. Now, I just have to read this note and see what he wants.
Until my life begins anew, Harada Riku
Phone call between Daisuke and Satoshi
November 2-8:15pm
Ring!…Ring!…Ring!…Ring!…Daisuke stared lazily at the phone debating whether to reach for it…Ring!
Emiko shouted at Daisuke, "Daisuke, get the phone!"
Daisuke reluctantly picked up the phone and held it to his ear. "Hello," he said groggily into the receiver.
"Good evening, Niwa." Satoshi's voice rang into Daisuke's ears, and Daisuke could already feel Dark emerging just from hearing the voice.
"Hiwatari-kun! What's up?"
"Don't ask what's up. You know specifically why I called. I wanted to talk to you about our little "activity" today. Did you give Riku the note?"
"Hai, Hiwatari-kun."
"Excellent. What exactly did it say?"
"It said: 'Dear Riku, I will not be able to walk you to or from school for the next two days. I've needed to spend some extra time with Hiwatari. Love, Daisuke.' How's that?"
"Extraordinarily well done, Niwa-kun! I just hope she doesn't get the wrong impression. It sounded almost as if we were…"
"Believe me, Hiwatari. I know Riku, and that's the furthest thing from her mind."
"I hope you're right," Satoshi said.
"Trust me. She's not suspecting that. Good night, Hiwatari-kun."
"Good night, Niwa." Both boys hung up.
How's that for a first chapter? I'm leaving town for the next two days, and I'll be without a computer, so maybe I'll write the next few chapters on Saturday. As always, please read and review.
Happy reading!
