~Normal POV~

So there they were. At the mall...because that's where the girls wanted to go. And you know how girls are, if they don't get what they want, they get angry.

*15 minutes ago at the dorm*

The teenagers racked their brains for an idea on where to go. There were so many choices places to pick from but they didn't exactly have a long period to think on where to go. Utau suddenly stood up, which startled the whole group. She looked at them as an idea started forming through her head. Yaya sighed, knowing it was going to be something idiotic... And there was an 80% chance it was going to be. Okay who are we kidding? There was a 99.9% chance it was going to be stupid.

"Let's go to the park and play soccer!" Utau cheered while pumping her fists in the air, which just resulted in blank stares from everyone...besides Kukai who was just snickered at her.

"Umm...no offense my dear, dear friend but I would like to not get my clothes dirty," Amu replied. Utau smiled and nodded in an understanding way, not hurt in any way whatsoever, in which, Amu sighed in relief. That's one of the things Amu tended to love about Utau. How she was so...well so Utau. There was no other way to describe her.

"Any other ideas?" Rima asked hoping someone would speak up. Hoping anyone would speak up. Soon they were going to die of boredom or something.

"How about you go into that closet over there and never come out?" offered Nagihiko while pointing to the nearest closet. Rima drew her mouth into a tight line while her left eye started to twitch.

"Anyone else?" she muttered with gritted teeth, then forcing it into a smile which seemed to make a small smile surface onto Nagihiko's face. Rima was getting ticked off.

And yes, this is what brought Nagihiko's joy.

"Lolly store. Yaaay!" Kairi shouted while jumping up and down. Yaya muttered incoherent things under her breath before closing her eyes and yanking him down onto the bed with her, immediately causing him to yelp and shut up.

"Never mind," he squeaked quietly.

"Amusement park?" Ikuto suggested which got a few nods and mumbles of agreement.

"Closed today," Yaya responded while trying to keep Kairi from getting up and bouncing everywhere. Everyone groaned. And it was such a good idea too...

"Ehh, damn. Oh well, we can always go next time," Ikuto said shrugging it off.

"We could always go to a sex shop," Amu said, speaking up while raising her eyebrows in a suggestive manner. Ikuto glared at her.

"Perverted bitch...,"

"Am not!" she retorted.

"Am too!"

"Guys!" Utau shouted causing them to stop arguing...but that didn't stop the glaring contest.

"Hey, how about the shopping mall?" Rima suggested. All the girls eyes lit up.

"Yes!" they all screamed at once. All the boys' eyes widened as if the world was going to end.

"Argh fuck no," Nagihiko muttered.

"No way, man," Ikuto said shaking his head.

"Never!" shouted Kairi said puffing his cheeks.

"As if I'd ever go," Kukai lastly finished. All the girls glared hardened at each complaint. They slowly started to rise and form into a very menacing looking group besides Amu who just watched them as she made no effort to get up or glare.

"We are going to go. And you are going to come with us. Now," they all said at once, giving the each boy a threatening glance.

"No, piss off," Kukai said, obviously trying not to look afraid of their glances. Amu smirked thinking that she should now help her friends and walked forward flicking her hair to the side.

"Oh please won't you guys come. It'd be such a shame if you couldn't," Amu said sweetly, tilting her head to the side. The rest of the girls smiled and walked forward too placing their hands on their knees and bending while trying to look drop dead gorgeous. This obviously worked as all the guys gulped nervously.

"Yeah, won't you please come," the girls all begging in unison. The boys glanced at each other, as they all started to weaken to the girls pleads.

"No," Ikuto tried to say strongly but his voice strangely a little higher than normal. The girls gave the boys puppy dog looks.

"Aww,"

"Please won't you guys come with us? Pretty please with a cherry on top. Don't you guys want to see us change into different outfits at the mall? It would be so much fun," Amu whispered slyly winking at them. The boys took a deep breath and slowly shook their heads. Amu pouted.

"But we tend to wear quite revealing outfits. And we have to go looking for bikinis and we need some help in deciding which ones are cute. We may also need some assistance in putting them on," Amu continued. That was what broke the sad little men. They quickly got up and nodded at each other.

"We're in,"

The girls all grinned at each other and stood normally, Amu looking at the boys once again.

"Oh, and we'll also need some boys to help carry our bags. And mind me, there will be a lot of bags to carry,"

~At the mall~

The females screamed in glee once they reached the mall. It was like paradise to them. Just pure paradise. The linked arms and skipped away to the first fabulous shop they could find. On the other hand, the boys were sulking a metre or so away from them.

"Why the fuck did we ever trust them," Ikuto groaned.

"Dude, it was your idea to go with them in the first place," Kukai said, trying to pin all the blame on Ikuto.

"Sure it was, at least I wasn't gaping like a goldfish when the girls were talking to us,"

Kukai pursed his lips together, obviously not wanting to press the conversation further. They all sighed before continuing to follow the ecstatic ladies.

And that's what they continued to do.

The girls shopped. The boys carried the bags. It was the same thing for at least a few hours.

Girls shopped.

Boys carried.

Finally the girls looked behind them, obviously starting to pity the poor men who were struggling to hold the overflowing bags in their arms.

"I think we should take a break and get something to eat or something," Rima murmured quietly to the others.

"I think we should keep going and make them carry more bags. We should give more of them to Kukai. Like heaaaps," Utau replied.

"Guys, I think the boys are going to collapse...," Yaya pointed out as she eyed the boys sweat and look awfully tired.

"Yeah, whatever, I'm getting a little hungry anyway," Amu concluded before starting to turn around and link arms with Ikuto who loudly protested at her sudden actions.

"What is she doing?" Rima asked Utau. Utau smiled and glanced their way, noticeably seeing the way Amu's eyes twinkled. It was quite hard to see it but Utau could. She was her bestfriend after all.

Utau grinned.

Amu was falling for Ikuto, she just didn't see it yet. She turned back to look at Rima to answer her question.

"She's still trying to make Ikuto fall for her,"

~Amu's POV~

I smirked as I looped arms with Ikuto who immediately started to complain.

"Ah! What are you doing? Get off me!"

I smirked and replied, "What does it look like; I'm linking arms with a friend,"

Ikuto shot me a look of surprise. He quirked an eyebrow.

"Friends?"

I feigned a look of hurt.

"We aren't friends?"

He nodded.

"Yes, we aren't friends,"

I pouted.

"Ouch," I said placing a hand over my heart and sighing dramatically.

"Oh 'cause you look so hurt," Ikuto muttered, sarcasm dripping from his voice. I raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Ooh is Ikuto caring about my feelings. I'm so touched," I replied, fluttering my eyes. He chuckled which made me smirk.

"See? We're friends?" I said shrugging my shoulders. He looked at me confused.

"How are we friends?"

"We're conversing, duh," I said indicating towards him and me with my hand flinging it back and forth. He rolled his eyes in a playful manner.

"You're an idiot," he muttered, but still not objecting that we were indeed friends. I smirked and pretended to sigh exasperatedly.

"I know,"

Ikuto laughed which made me want to smile. It was cute. It was kind of hot too...

He was hot.

I glanced at him. I watched the way his eyes lit up when he smiled. I watched how his chest vibrated when he laughed.

I watched him...be him.

Not using his fake little facade.

Just him.

I felt a sense of pride hit me, realising that he was able to feel comfortable with me. I looked away when, my heart starting to beat a little faster. I closed my eyes.

No.

I'm not falling for him.

He's just another toy.

That was hot.

I already stated the obvious, didn't I?

He tried to shake me off again which just made me grip tighter.

"Ha, you're not escaping that easily," I stated, an evil gleam in my eyes. He rolled his eyes once again, a smile playing on his gorgeous lips. I saw him stumble a bit, his face scrunching up a tad even though he was trying not to show the oblivious which was that the bags were obviously way too heavy.

Pfft, I didn't buy that much...did I?

I sighed, maybe I did. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

What I was going to do next was just because I'm trying to make him fall for me.

Not because I like him.

Definitely not because I liked him.

Because I don't like him.

At all.

I opened my mouth slightly, trying to phrase my sentence right.

"Give me some of the bags you're carrying," I said just above a whisper kind of hoping he didn't hear me. But he did.

Dammit.

I instantly regretted it. This was not like the Amu Hinamori.

This was not like me at all.

Ikuto shot me a look of surprise.

"No it's alright, I've got it under control," he replied, before trudging forward making me run a little to catch up. Then he added, "But thanks anyway,"

"No, really, let me take some," I offered before quickly taking two bags from him before he could protest. He smiled.

"Thanks,"

I rolled my eyes, he is such a girl.

"No problem," I said shrugging it off. I took a quick glance at him watching how he walked.

Man, why the fuck is he so hot?

"Heey Ikutooo!," a whiny, shrill voice shouted, the sound coming a few metres behind us. I turned around to spot a girl wearing an extremely short denim shorts, black strapped heels and a plain white shirt where the sleeves rested below the shoulders. But the pants were short. Like really short.

Shorter than mine.

And that's saying something.

She had black long curly hair which went just below her shoulders, electrifying blue eyes and had a lot of make up on.

Whore.

Slut.

Skank.

Bitch.

Whorish, slutty, skanky bitch. I puffed out an air of annoyance.

Why the fuck am I acting like this? I've only know Ikuto for like 2 weeks.

Man, I must be getting my period soon...

Ikuto lifted his head and nodded in her direction.

"Fuck," I heard him mutter under his breath. I smirked.

"Hey," he responded turning around and walking towards her. I followed him flicking my hair to the side. It's fun to have competition. Ikuto means nothing to me anyway. Even though he seems to dislike her. Heaps.

"Oh my gosh, it's like such a coincidence that we met up here," she squealed excitedly before giggling in that high pitched voice of hers. She sounds like a fucking hyena having sex. Literally.

She glanced at me before blinking twice.

"And whose this?" she asked waving her hand in my direction. Ikuto looked in my direction.

"Oh thats-"

"I'm Amu," I interjected while smiling sweetly at her. I saw her jaw clench for a moment before turning back to normal.

"Well, I wasn't exactly asking you was I? But like anyway, how are you Ikuto," she asked, lightly tapping his arm and lingering it there for an unnecessary second or so. Ugh, the stench of her perfume is overwhelming and it's even making me feel a little lightheaded. Ikuto shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm alright, you?"

"Oh I'm good too thanks, waay better since I bumped into you," she said winking at him. He gave a forced laugh making me chuckle along with him.

"Why are you laughing," she snapped, giving a slight glare at me. I stared at her blankly, watching how her eyes darted from me to Ikuto, wondering if we were in any relationship.

"Oh, I just remember something funny about this slut who wears all this skanky clothing but no one really likes her because she's so bitchy, so she dies old and alone with 30 cats," I said. Ikuto laughed. She stared at me confused.

"That's doesn't sound very funny...,"

I waved my hand in a circular motion and responded , "Yeah, I didn't really explain it properly,"

Ikuto smiled before looking at me with a pleading face as if to say, help-get-this-bitch-away-from-us-she's-way-sluttier-then-you. I linked my arms into Ikuto's and watched as she tensed slightly.

"Anyway, we have to go eat lunch not but it was nice meeting you," I said lazily.

Not.

I turned around, pulling Ikuto with me who gave her a small wave.

"Why are you waving at her, she's going to think that's and invitation to join," I muttered just so he could hear me.

"I was trying to be polite," he whispered back. I rolled my eyes.

"Polite my ass,"

And as if on cue, we heard her scream behind us, "Can I join by any chance?"

Ikuto sighed and muttered under his breath, "Crap,"

"Sure, whatever," I yelled back, closing my eyes as I heard her shoes clank nosily along the ground as she ran to catch up to us. I glared at Ikuto as he smiled helplessly back.

"Man, we are in for a long day," I mumbled.

Jennifer: Yeah, sorry If it sounds screwed up

Ikuto: your screwed up

Amu: Ikuto's screwed up

Ikuto: I loveeee youuuu

Jennifer: ANYWAY, yeah I'll try to update a little faster? Haha I'm really sorry about the long wait and if the story sucks...yeah haha I sound so awkward.
