One of the most common things people hear is that fame is a fickle friend, and quite frankly, whoever had made that up was correct. Fortunately for one Ryuuzaki Umi, she knew this and didn't let the fame get to her head. Of course, others wondered if the Umi they saw at school was the same as home Umi and work Umi. Of course, work Umi was always busy with her agent, and quite frankly, Umi hated work Umi.
"I can't stand it!" shouted Umi, throwing a magazine down. Angrily, she paced the length of the room, a sailor's vocabulary escaping her delicate lips. Ascot watched frightened as slowly, the Umi he grew to love turned into angry Umi, one that he and many others learned to fear.
"Please, Umi, calm down!" he pleaded, standing in front of the girl.
"It just makes me so… infuriated!"
"Why are you mad?"
"Because I'm on the cover of a magazine!"
"How does that make you mad?"
"I didn't know about the picture! And now, this guy, Sal, thinks he's my agent when I haven't even done anything to deserve this and now all my supposed friends that aren't Hikaru and Fuu, think that I'm the biggest snob in the damn world!"
"But you're not."
"I know that, Ascot." Umi sighed heavily, shoving a hand through blue hair. Ascot, thinking this is the only thing he could do, pulled Umi into a hug.
"Better?" he asked, looking down at the girl. She shrugged, and sighed.
"I guess. Ascot, remember this, fame is a fickle friend, and my friends suck." Ascot held in a laugh and kissed her lightly on the top of her head.
"Don't worry about it, Umi."
