AN-Okay so here's chapter 2 of Coming Out of My Shell! Disclaimer: I do not own Rune Factory! My sister is going to take over this story now! I realized that Orland is nice towards Aria so I suppose he's a little OC…Oh well!
Chapter 2:
The rest of the day goes is uneventful, except for the constant stares from the twins. Once school ends, I walk with a fast pace out of class. As soon as the cool air of spring hits me, I look over at the pond; Orland's waiting for me. I race over and smile. He shyly smiles back. "So…I-I wanted to ask you to the Flower Festival…" Orland says.
I beam. "Yes! I mean y-yes."
"Really? Great!" he says. "So meet you tomorrow at 4pm here?" I nod.
"So…I guess I'll see you around then," he concludes and with a wave heads off towards his home. I giddily make my way to my own house.
Passing my family's field full of flowers and crops, I skip my way inside, finding my mother and brother in the kitchen. "Hey, Aria how's your boyfriend?" Aaron teases. I blush madly before answering, "He's not my boyfriend. And for your information, he invited me to the Flower Festival tomorrow."
My mom smiles and says shyly, "That's great, darling. What will you wear?"
Shoot, hadn't thought about that…
"Um, I'll figure it out, Mom," I say thinking to make a quick stop to Cammy or Leann's house. She nods and continues the conversation she and Aaron had earlier. I sneak my way back out of the house and run over to Leann's house. The sky becomes clouded with gray and I hope that it doesn't affect the festival tomorrow.
Amidst my thinking, I skid to a stop when Sera and Serena come into view.
"Hey…Aria," Sera sneers.
"We heard he asked you," Serena says.
"And not us," Sera finishes the sentence. They take steps toward me. "I didn't mean any harm!" I shout before thinking.
They corner me and pull my hair and punch me. I try and fight back, but it's hard when there are two of them. The attack doesn't go on for long, because they hear something and run off. I'm laying on the ground, tears down my face. The damage hurts and I'm dizzy. Everything hurts, and I'm about ready to black out. Footsteps approach me and I close my eyes and everything goes dark.
AN- Hey sorry I haven't updated in a while! So who do you think is coming to her rescue? Sorry about making the twins mean if you like them. It took me FOREVER to write this. Sorry it's so short, I'll try and make the next chapter longer! Alright please review!
