Author's note. English is not my native language, so, even if I'm working hard, you will find a lot of mistakes here. I'm really sorry, I'll do the better I can. I have a lot of ideas for this fic but I will go on writing only if my English is intelligible enough to let you understand my story, so, please, let me know wheter I should go on or not, and, of course, if you like the contents of the story. Any comment, both laudations and criticism, will be appreciated. Thank you very much!
Five girls were walking down a noisy street. That was full of pollution and cars and peole walking- actually running as if they were in a terrible hurry- and the girls were really frightened. They were used to big cities, they were from Tokyo, but everything in Japan was clear and regular, while here in Europe things seemed to be and go anywhere but where they would have been supposed to.
-We got lost- said Makoto
-Yes, we did- continued Ami – and we are late. We should have been at the university information point about twenty minutes ago.-
-Why can't we take a taxi?- proposed Usagi, who was known to be terribly lazy.
-We can't. Europe is far too expensive for us. And we must learn how to orientate ourselves in Paris, we are going to move here.-
They were still walking and ignoring where they were going to, when they saw a bench. Ami sat down and opened her map to check out where exactly they were, while the others just stared at her, exhausted.
Suddenly, a familiar voice coming from somewhere behind them said –Oh my God! What the hell are the five of you doing here?-
-Haruka!- they all shouted- It is incredible that we met here!-
-Well, actually it is not. We've been living here for five years, since the last time we met in Japan. But what are you doing here?-
-We are moving! We are going to attend university here!-
-This is a good news. And why?-
-That's a long story. Why don't we have a coffee together?-
-Fine. Come with me.-
Haruka turned left into a tiny street and the girls followed her. Ami, the most sensitive of them, was observing her and thinking. –She looks really different from the "girl" I remember. She seems to be... well, so quiet and satisfied. So happy. Wonder what she did during this five years. Moreover, she is wearing jeans and t-shirt and not a skirt or something similar but she isn't boyish any more. She looks like a woman.-
Ami was still staring at Haruka, full of curiosity, whes she noticed something that left her astonished. There was a wedding ring on her ring finger.
