Faith Messes Up Too You Know
Epilogue
"Natsumi-san! Natsumi-san!" A short girl cried. She was running towards me.
"Ah, Aya-chan," I said, "Sorry, I left without you. I thought you went home without me."
The other looked sad, "But Natsumi-san, you'll be leaving for Tokyo soon. I wanted to at least hang out with you for your last few days..."
Ah, that's right. I'll be moving soon...
"Natsumi-san, let's go to that store and get some food. You said you wanted to try it out, right?" She said.
I smiled at the other girl. "Really? We can go?"
She nodded. "My treat."
"No, since I'm the one that wanted to go, I should pay."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go!" The both of us ran next to each other to the store.
Hello there, my name is Natsumi. Most people I know call me Sumie-chan. I live in a big gray house with my other two siblings. My two parents deceased three years ago when I was 10. I'm 13, going to be 14. I have brown hair that reaches a bit pass my shoulders and dark brown eyes. I'm not hideous or not perfect. I just look normal. I don't usually use make up and my skin's a bit tan from going to the beach on summers.
My two siblings live with me, they're very kind to me, but since they recently found a better job in Tokyo we are moving closer. We're not poor, actually. They said that wanted to make my life better than now. They work really hard at their jobs so sometimes they leave the house to me. I don't mind, it's quite fun actually. Occasionally I'll invite my best friend, Aya-chan, to sleepover.
Aya-chan is younger than me; she's turning 13 this year. She has black hair to her elbows, maybe longer, and darkish eyes. She's almost as tall as me. I guess I'm just short. Aya-chan is the only girl I know that never calls me by my nickname; instead she always calls me Natsumi-san. She's not really polite, but sometimes she's a bit shy. I guess you can say I'm her voice. I usually talk for her. Although she's shy, that doesn't mean she can't play pranks. She always plays pranks on me. I'm too gullible... She's quite a tomboy, well, I am too. No other girl really likes her, according to her. She thinks she's a freak, I don't think so. She's my best friend. Everyone said: a girl like me and a girl like her shouldn't be friends. I guess we showed them that they're wrong. Aya-chan is very interesting if you get to know her.
The both of us arrived to the shop.
"Natsumi-san, what would you like to get?" Aya-chan whispered to me.
"Hmm... Maybe I'll get a burger." I said.
"May we share? I don't think I'll be able to eat it all..." She mumbled.
I smiled. "Sure."
We bought a burger. Wow, it's big. I don't think I could've finished it all myself. We cut it in half. Aya-chan took one piece and I took the other.
Just as I was about to take my fifth bite, Aya-chan said, "I'm done!" That was pretty surprising... I can never know how she can eat that fast and eat that much.
I quickly finished my burger and the both of us headed for my house.
"Are your siblings home?" Aya-chan asked.
"Yeah. Well, I'm going to move next week, so you can stay if you like." I told her, "Since tomorrow is a no school day, we can hang out. Do you need to call your parents so you can get clothes?"
"No, I packed some just in case." She said.
I looked surprised. She's just so unpredictable...
The two of us entered my house. The light was on, my two sisters, Sara and Kira, were sitting in the dinning room, talking. Aya-chan and I both put our things away in my room. Since Aya-chan comes here a lot, we almost have a room for her. I sat down next to Sara while Aya took a seat next to Kira.
"Hey, guys," Sara said, "We have bad news."
Aya and I both frowned. "What is it?" I asked.
Kira shook her head, "I have to say that we have to move tomorrow. Sara's boss told her to work that day after tomorrow. We have no choice. Since we live pretty far from it, we should pack up everything tonight and get ready to leave first thing in the morning." She turned to Aya, "We're sorry that we're causing such a burden on you."
Aya shook her head, "No, it's ok. I'm sorry that I had to come today when you're all so busy!"
"Aya-chan can help, if she wants." Sara said.
Aya nodded.
I really didn't want to leave Aya-chan, but if my siblings have to work I guess I have to choice too. I'm moving to Hyoutei if I'm right... They say it's a good school; I can't wait to see it.

Chapter one
Natsumi sighed. "Aya-chan..." She whispered. Natsumi and her two sisters moved to their new house. It was pretty wide. Natsumi had gone to her new room, it was big, and had light blue colored walls. She was on her old bed.
"Natsumi!" One of her sisters called out.
"Ah, coming!" She called back.
She quickly ran down the stairs. Careful not to trip.
"Yes?" She asked Kira.
"Your transfer to Seigaku has been made. You're going tomorrow. Is that ok?"
"Seigaku? I thought you said Hyoutei!" She cried in disbelief.
Kira chuckled, "No, no. You probably misheard it. I just said Hyoutei was a nice school, but Seigaku is where you're going to."
Natsumi stared at her sister. "...I GOT IT WRONG!?" She cried.
Her sister covered her ears, "Natsumi, please quiet down, this house really echoes..."
"Oh... sorry." She said, "But... I got ready to go to Hyoutei! Aya-chan said she knew a boy who went there! She told me all about it! Now you're saying I'm going to Seigaku?"
"Seigaku is a nice school, Natsumi. It's really well known for their boy's tennis team. Maybe you can learn from them?"
Natsumi pouted. "Kira... you know after all these years I could never play tennis well..."
Kira chuckled. "Maybe you can learn. You can never know."
Natsumi sighed. "Seigaku here I go..." She said unenthusiastically.

"Class, this is Natsumi. Say hello to her and be nice to her." The teacher instructed. "Natsumi, you may sit behind Echizen."
Horio raised his hand. "Sensei! May I show her around? Since I have those two years of tennis experience and all..."
Tokomo frowned, "Horio! Stop being so braggy!" She cried.
Natsumi just stared at the two with interest. She doubts that girl knew "braggy" wasn't a real word…
"Echizen is right there." The teacher pointed.
"Ah, thank you, sir." She sat down behind the said boy.
She tried to fit in so she whispered a small, "Hello." To the boy in front.
The boy just nodded.
She frowned. What's with this boy? She thought.
The classes were so different from her school. She tried her best to keep up.
At lunch time, she took out her bag of food she took with her.
"Hey, hey, did you know that Fuji-sempai has gotten himself a new racket?" Another girl Natsumi's age, but not in her class, whispered to her friend.
"Never mind the racket! Fuji-sempai is too awesome!" The other whispered back.
The two girls giggled.
Natsumi sighed. She had once whispered to her friend, Aya too...
"I miss Aya..." She said to herself. She bumped into someone.
A tall boy with a green bandana hissed towards her. He had this scary looking face, and long dangling arms.
"I'm sorry!" She cried.
The boy just hissed.
Another boy with spiky hair approached the two. "Oi, Mamushi! Stop being mean! You really need to be more social."
"Shut up... fshhhh..." He replied. The boy called, "Mamushi," left.
"Ah, sorry about that guy. His name is Kaidoh. If you see him just ignore him." The spiky haired boy said. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Momoshiro. You can call me Momo-chan."
Natsumi could only nod. Was Seigaku this strange? What would it have been like in Hyoutei?!
"Well, see ya. I have to fine Echizen." Momo said.
"Oi! Momo! Have you seen Ochibi!?" Another boy cried.
Momo turned around, "Eiji-sempai? Nope, let's look for him somewhere else. He's bound to have that coupon!"
"Yeah!" Eiji cried. "Free sushi!!"
"Yeah!" Momo cried.
Natsumi was still staring. Was Seigaku THIS strange?! It was only sushi!
The two boys ran off.
"...Maybe Hyoutei wouldn't have been that bad..." She mumbled. "I wonder if I could survive the day..."
