Between a friend

Disclaimer: Lets all sing the it's so obvious song!

A/N: This is a new story I've been working on. It's AU. I'll still be updating my current fic Given Chance if any of you know what that even is. ^_^ ! (PLEASE PLEASE READ AND REVIEW IT) I don't really know how to spell any of their last names so I'm gonna wing it. I took major, callosal, humongous, liberties with the character's personalities. Hope you enjoy!

Don't you ever get that feeling, the one that your life is about to change, maybe not in a drastic way but certainly in a meaningful one. I do, I always get that feeling, but this time it was a big change, something that would turn me up side down completely...

It all started the day I found out who Van Fanel was. I remember when he came to my literature class the third day of senior year. I bet twenty girls fell in love with those chocolate ruby eyes, tanned skin and the black silk locks of hair. One of those girls was my bestfriend Yukari Uchida. Yukari was the type of girl to fall in and out of love as often as Dilandua Albatou got suspended, so I thought nothing of it. Van Fanel even caught my eye, though I would never let anyone know, I belonged to Allen Shezar and the whole school had known that for the past four years. Yukari had been in an off and on relationship with Allen's twin Amano, but after a year of struggle they called it quits.

I could tell by the way that Yukari was scribbling furiously in her notebook that she was already writing Van a note. I sighed, rolling my eyes. If Van was like any of these other guys he would be Yuki's boyfriend by the end of the day. Why was I even worrying, the only man I should worry about is Allen. If that's true why do you keep starring at him. A little voice in the back of my head kept telling me. Yeah that was it, he was handsome.

The teacher droned on and on about how Van had come from Japan and was staying here in America for the year. I began to doodle in my notebook unaware that the picture I was drawing was a heart with Van's name in the middle. I looked back up to the dark haired boy, just to find he was nowhere to be found. My eyes scanned the room quickly, I should have known, he was sitting right beside Yukari. I brought my attention back down to my notebook astounded at what I found there. I ripped the paper out quickly and cruppled it up. I tried to focus for the rest of the class, but my mind was somewhere else. I sighed in relief when the lunch bell rang.

I started out the door, Yukari was already outside waiting for me. Her cheeks were flushed and she was pouting. I rolled my eyes, after knowing her for ten years I knew that was the signature mark that she was furious. "Kari, what's wrong?" She looked up at me and pushed out her bottom lip even more. I sighed and threw my arm around her shoulder, steering her toward the school's west cafeteria. "Come on Kari, you got to tell me sometime." "Hitomi he didn't even talk to me. I like gave him a note and freakin stared at him for the entire class and he didn't even notice me." I was truly shocked, a boy had backed away from Yukari's advances. "Well maybe he's just shy, give him sometime to adjust. You know he just moved here, maybe he doesn't even understand english very well." I could visably see her perk up. "Your right, Hitomi. I'll just give him some time.

We were sitting at our regular lunch table. I was listening to all my friends gossip, the main topic was about the semi formal for the seniors in two weeks. Celena and Millerna were discussing their own plans, Yukari was gushing over how she was going to get Van. What interested me the most was when Eries mentioned Allen's name to Yukari. "What about Allen?" I asked, curiosity eating away at me. "Well" she placed a manicured hand on the table "rumor is that well, ummm..... Allen is going..... to......well...." "Allen is going to WHAT?" I yelled a bit too loudly startling a silent Merle who was trying to finish a book for literature class.

"AllenisgoingtobreakupwithyouandaskMillernatothedance!" I stared at her. Barely understanding what she had said, but getting the drift. I looked at Merle who quickly averted her eyes back down to the book, I turned my gaze over to Millerna who was happily chatting away with Yukari and Celena. "Does she know?" I nodded my head towards Millerna. Eries nodded, and looked down quickly at her perfect nails. "In fact Hitomi, she's known for a long time." "WHAT?" "They've been seeing each other for the last two month." I stopped for a moment, trying to gather and process the infomation given to me. It didn't take long before I jumped up, stalked towards the end of the table and punched the stunned Millerna dead in the face.

She stayed consious long enough to see my green eyes fill with tears.

A/N: Sorry it was so short, but this is sort of a teaser chapter. Hope you like! Please read and review!
