Hey People! Ugh I'm sorry about the late update! *grins sheepishly* *dodges chairs and knives* Now that I have ten reviews I'm glad to post this up! I'm sorry if it's sucky, because I've been on a major writer's block lately ehe.. I tried it in 3rd Pov and I wanted to see what you think of it! :D But if you don't like it then just leave that on a review or PM me :D Hope you enjoy it at least a bit! The Next chapter will be about Sora and Andrew's Date-
Sora: It's not a date! *throws chair*
Kat (aka me): *dodges* so stay tuned !
From the entrance of the Seiyo Academy, came two twins. One looking well rested and upbeat while the other....well.
She seemed out of focused for she bumped into several things; light posts, trees, people, and many more. Her eyes were glazed over and her pace was slow and steady.
"A-Are you alright, Sora-nee?" asked Amaya, obviously freaked out and worried over her twin.
The spaced out twin raised her head and wiped her eyes. "Ah, sorry Amaya. I didn't get much sleep last night." She replied.
"Something bothering you?" Amaya asked concerned. Sora shook her head. "Nah, it's nothing. I'll deal with it later. I'm probably bumming you out." She ended with a laugh.
Amaya chuckled and walked on with her sister. Completely oblivious to Sora's expression.
Sora's POV
I couldn't sleep at all last night because of what happened last night.
Flashbacks of Kuukai and Andrew fighting crossed my mind. I cringed to myself, 'Why...why do they have to fight? I want to be friends with both of them and yet...' I bit my lip, 'They're probably not at each other's throats when I'm around.' I shook my head. Ikuto came into mind. 'What did he want anyway? Why my egg?'
I then bumped into something else. "Sorry..." I mumbled. This must be another tree or person, judging by how hard yet squishy it is. "Sora?" I looked up to what I thought was a talking tree but came face to face with someone I didn't feel like seeing in a while.
3rd POV
Sora jumped back in fright once she figured out who she bumped into. It was the Jack's Chair, Souma Kuukai.
"Ku-Kuukai, I'm so sorry! I should have looked where I was going." She bowed repeatedly while apologizing. Kuukai laughed, "It's okay, I just wanted to greet you Good Morning." "Ah...Good Morning." Her voice uneasy. Kuukai noticed how tired she looked, "Hey, you didn't sleep well last night?" She cringed, "Ah, I did! Wh-What makes you say that?" She started to fidget and laugh. Kuukai raised a brow, "Well," He rested his hand on her shoulder and leaned in close to her face, "You have dark circles around your eyes." He said pointing to her eye.
Silence, then Sora lowered her head and stepped back from Kuukai. Kuukai watched her tremble with worry. "Sora?" "Ah, look at the time, we better head to class. I'll go on ahead, see you Kuukai." And with that, she strode off, leaving Kuukai standing there.
Sora's POV
Run.
Run.
Just Run.
Those were the only words that ran through my mind as I ran through the halls and moved farther away from Kuukai.
'Why? When Kuukai looked into my eyes...I couldn't help but feel sad. Why do I have to be fought over?' I looked up to where I was running to when I saw a nearby restroom. I stepped into it quickly and ran to the nearest sink. I stopped to catch my breath. I was trembling.
I was so afraid. I can't help it. I hate it when that happens. Why? Argh too many questions.
I stopped myself from thinking any further questions and washed my face. I looked up at the mirror and see that I did have dark circles under my eyes. I sighed and concealed it with some make-up that my mom sent me from France last Friday. Her reminder rang through my head, 'Have it with you all the time or else I will have to convince your dad to bring you with us to the business trips.'
I shivered at the thought and applied it on and fixed up my hair. I looked at the mirror some more and thought to myself,
'What possible trait could be worth fighting for?' I leaned forward onto the sink. 'Maybe I haven't spent time with them individually...' I frowned and slammed my fist onto the sink. "Why? Why can't they just make up?" I ask to myself. I felt my face heat up and my tears started to slip. They continued to slip and a small sob escaped from me. I gasped once I felt slender arms wrap around me and hug me from behind.
"Why the tears?"
3rd POV
His arms wrapped around the distressed child. His lips close to her ear, as he whisper the words, "Why the tears?" Sora's eyes widen with fright. She froze in her spot as he continued, "Is it because of those two boys? What's their names? The brown haired boy and the one with black hair."
Sora gritted her teeth, her fists clenched and her whole body stiff. "Why are you here?" "Oh? Getting tense now are we? I just wanted to come and visit you." He replied resting his head on her shoulder. "Well, you see me now, and since you found your way in here, you can find your way out." Her voice cold like ice.
"Don't worry, I'll take my leave, once I get your egg." He whispered once again, as his hand moved to her pocket. Sora reacted fast and pushed him away roughly. She turned to face him as he stood there with a smirk. "Aw, now, let's not fight. I just want your egg." She glared at him, "You still think I'll just give up my egg?" He pushed her against a wall, holding her hands back. She was trapped, and vulnerable under his grasp.
"Now let's be a good girl and stop squirming." He said as he held her wrists together in one hand and reached into her pocket. She panicked and one tear slipped. Her heart racing, her breath caught up in her throat. Her eyes gleamed and a smile widens upon her face. Ikuto looks up at her with curiosity. He held the egg in his mouth and looked at her face with question.
Outside
A scream erupted from the restroom and all eyes turned to the door. "HELP ME! SOMEONE PLEASE! I'M BEING HARRASED!" Two girls slammed the door open and found Sora sprawled on the floor, sobbing. "Are you alright?" one asked. Sora hiccupped and pointed at the open window, "H-H-He went through the open window. I-I was just washing my face when all of a sudden I was backed up at a wall, and I..." She sobbed some more and was comforted by her two saviors.
Sora's POV
I was faking my tears this whole time. I felt bad, but it was the only way to save look convincing. My fist was shaking the whole time. I stared down at my white egg. I punched Ikuto in the gut.
I
punched
Ikuto.
I smiled to myself, 'I couldn't believe I was able to do that.'
Once he was shocked at my screams, his grip loosened and I took that chance to push him off and punch him in the gut. So much for getting inside details about Easter. I was taken to the nurse's office where I was told to rest. This gave me time to think about the whole situation. I thanked the two girls who came for me and they smiled back and took their leave.
Ikuto was trying to steal my egg. He probably had some sort of mission with Easter. What in the world are they planning?
I sighed to myself and looked up to see the door open.
3rd POV
From the door frame, Kuukai sneaked a peek then came in and closed the door behind him. Sora turned her head from him and he sighed, exasperated. "Sora, what's wrong? Did I do something?" He looked at her, waiting for an answer, but she just stayed silent. He sighed and brought a chair next to Sora and sat on it, but she turned her face away from him again. "Come on Sora, what's wrong?" He whined.
Sora looked down on her lap and said so softly, "I don't want you to see me like this." She chuckled to herself, leaving Kuukai perplexed. "I must look pathetic." she continued. Kuukai reached over and held her hand, "You don't always have to be strong. You can't do things by yourself all the time." He said softly. She looked down at her now held hand and up at his face. He smiled at her and a bit of pink rose to her cheeks and turned away from him. "You know how embarrassing you sound right now?" She remarked. He grinned, "So I've been told."
She glared at him and laughed. "Are you feeling okay now? Feel like coming to the class?" His voice filled with concern.
She nodded slowly and got up from the bed and out the door with Kuukai following close behind.
FF to classroom
Well, it wouldn't be surprising if there were tons of eyes staring at Sora-chan right? Well, that's exactly what happened.
As they entered the classroom, Sora walked on and headed for her seat when her teacher spoke up,
"Are you alri-"
"Yes. I am, I'm okay." She said, stopping her teacher mid-sentence.
She walked on and ignored all the staring eyes and sat quietly on her seat.
Kukai's POV
Sora's been really quiet today. I heard about what happened in the restroom but I guess she's still shaken up. I heard many whispers from the fellow students. Most likely about what happened. I sighed and took a glance at Sora. She was taking down notes, as if nothing happened. I smiled sadly, she's really admirable. I turned back to the teacher and continued to listen to the lecture.
Sora's POV
Ugh, when will these notes stop? Ever since that incident with Ikuto, everyone's been asking me what happened. I sighed, and answered another note questioning what happened. I passed it on to someone and they continued to pass it on. I rubbed my left temple in irritation. I've been getting notes either love confessions or questions on what happened. How love confession? Like stuff saying, "I'd never do that to you! So let's go out and I'll protect you." Tsk, yeah, right.
I sighed to myself some more.
I got one more note and I swear I was so close to ripping it apart when I saw who it was from.
Andrew
Curiosity got the best of me, and I opened the note. It was written neatly and I was surprised at his handwriting.
Hey Sora,
Great Performance last night. That was a load of fun; I hoped you enjoyed it too. It was freaky what happened next, right? Some weirdo comes and starts hassling me. It's crazy. You disappeared somewhere, which freaked me out, I hope nothing happened, once I left. I had to go home, my mom worried. I hope you still had fun during the last song. So yeah. I was wondering if you'd like to go to the mall with me. I know it sounds pretty weird. Me asking you to the mall :P But hey, I thought we'd do something you wanted to do. There's also a game there I wanted to check so I thought we could go together.
What do ya say?
-Andrew
3rd POV
Andrew fidgeted in his seat as Sora read the note. His face lit up when she smiled and wrote something upon it. She passed it on to someone else and it came closer and closer to the anxious boy. He reached out for it until
"I'll take that!"
Every one's eyes were on the fuming teacher, as she held up the note. She cleared her throat and glanced at Andrew, "Since you two can't seem to wait for class to end, and continue your chat then, I'll let you read your little note now eh? Mr. Gray and Ms. Asakura! Front of the class!" The teacher stated.
Andrew and Sora sent glances to each other. Andrew looked at her for help. She just shrugged whilst biting her bottom lip. They got up slowly and steadily made their way to the front of the class. Both fidgeted under the stares of their fellow classmates.
"You are both punished by getting extra homework. You must read up about our next lesson, Poetry, and then give a report about it. It will be graded as recitation. I will give the details after school. Now please, read your note."
Sora glanced at Andrew as Lily-sensei gave back the note. Andrew hesitated and looked back at Sora. Sora mouthed and apology and Andrew released a sigh.
He looked at the note and started to make up a lie until Lily-sensei stated in his ear, loud enough for the class to hear, "You better not lie, for I am reading it off your shoulder." He flinched and some students snickered. He sighed and looked down at the cause of the problem.
Andrew's POV
Great...this totally sucks. Everyone's going to know what happened last night and most likely, they'll never let this down.
Kuukai looked pretty miffed at us. Wait no-scratch that- miffed at me. I glanced some more and decided.
'I'll just read it anyway.'
"Hey Sora, great Performance last night. That was a load of fun; I hoped you enjoyed it too. It was freaky what happened next, right? Some weirdo comes and starts hassling me. It's crazy. You disappeared somewhere, which freaked me out, I hope nothing happened, once I left. I had to go home, my mom worried. I hope you still had fun during the last song. So yeah. I was wondering if you'd like to go to the mall with me. I know it sounds pretty weird. Me asking you to the mall But hey, I thought we'd do something you wanted to do. There's also a game there I wanted to check so I thought we could go together." I handed the note to Sora for her turn to read.
'This is embarrassing! And now it's gonna seem that we're dating!'
Sora clutched onto it and started to read her reply.
"Yeah, it was cool. I'd like to go with you. How about a movie too? There's one that I'd like to watch and no on to go with. It's not as fun to go alone you know. So, how 'bout it? Tomorrow at noon? We'll just waste some time before doing anything else. Thanks. Sora."
She gave back the note to her ticked teacher and went back to her seat. Andrew followed suit after quite some time standing there...in disbelief.
Then...they erupted.
"Kyaaa you guys are going on a date?"
"How could this be? My Andrew!~"
"Hey, how long has this been?"
"Soraaaaa~!"
"I can't believe it why?"
Sora's POV
They are so noisy! And I can't believe I had to do that. I looked down at my hands and see them quivering. 'And I'm still shaking.' Gahh I can't believe it! Can't believe it! Can't believe it! Can't believe it!
I sighed to myself but continued to listen to the lesson.
FF to After Class [still Sora's POV]
It was hard getting out of the classroom, due to my fellow classmates bombarding me with questions.
"So, have you guys done anything yet?"
"Why HIM!"
"What's it like?"
"Stay away from Kukai then"
"I'm BETTER than HIM"
"I'll KILL MYSELF"
"Niiiiiice"
I stared at them and said over the noise, "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"
They cooled down and I finally pushed my way through them. 'Geez, stop fussing over that.'
I noticed Andrew was waiting for me outside the classroom.
"Hey" Andrew greeted, lifting his back from the wall.
"Hey..." I replied. "We should get to the faculty soon, let's go?" Andrew walked on and I followed, but not without hearing squeals from girls who were watching close by.
Silence is becoming something that follows us around most of the time. Sheesh.
I kept glancing at Andrew since we haven't said a word to each other ever since school started. I thought of things we could talk about. Hey, it's getting awkward, what else can I do?
"So, what game are you planning to get?" my voice, trembling a bit.
He looked at me in surprise, I guess who wouldn't be surprised at my straight forward question?
"Well, it's a bit silly though, I wanted to get Animal Crossing for the Wii and my Dsi. I've been told it's a pretty fun game."
I smiled, I had that game. "Well, it really is a fun game especially since you can have friends over to your town." "Heh? Really, that's cool" "Though I recommend getting it on the Wii, it's updated and has more events." "Really? I'll take your word for it!" We laughed and before we knew it, we reached the faculty.
We entered inside and looked for Lily-sensei. "Ah, there you two are." We turned around to see Lily-sensei, with a cup of coffee. "Ah, Lily-sensei! About the rubrics of our presentation..?" Andrew started. "Yes, as you know, it has to be about Poetry. List down the types there are and some examples of those types, some History about Poetry and some examples of famous poets."
I stared at her in bewilderment, but she continued on, "This was to be a group work after we learned the lesson about Poetry, but since this was the only homework I had prepared, you will do it as punishment." I kept silent until I popped up a question, "Will we do this project again?" Sensei looked at me and laughed. "Ah no sweetie, you will be exempted for that project." I stared at her again, 'Sweetie? You're not my mom.' But I smiled at the fact we won't do anything at class~
We excused ourselves and stepped out of the faculty to and out for recess.
With the Royal Guardians (3rd POV)
The greenhouse that lies within the school, also known as the 'Royal Garden', is abundant with plants and beautiful flowers. The sound of water can be heard from the small fountain placed inside. But that wasn't the only thing there, in the seemingly calm greenhouse.
"NOOOOO, I DON'T WANNA WORK!"Yaya complained, pouting and writhing on the floor.
"Yaya, you know it is the job of a guardian." Tadase pointed out, trying to calm the bab-I mean- distressed girl.
"B-but, there's so much work!" She continued to whine.
"Man, I guess I can't relax anywhere." Came a voice from the entrance of the royal garden
"Sora-nee~!" Yaya glomped (yes glomped) Sora and clinged to her for dear life.
"Wha- Yaya! What are you doing!" Sora asked, trying to shake her off.
"Neh, Sora-nee? Isn't it that you're going on a date with Andrew?" She asked innocently.
"Ih" Sora trembled. "Ih?" Yaya echoed blissfully "It's NOT LIKE THAT!" Sora's yell was heard from outside the greenhouse.
"Go-gomen.." Yaya trembled.
Sora sighed heavily and massaged her temples. "Sorry Yaya, it's just everyone's saying the same thing...I need to sit down.." she said, taking a seat next to Amu.
"Would you like some tea? I heard this particular tea calms the nerves." Nadeshiko calmly asked, holding a porcelain tea pot.
"Ah, please." She replied. As Nadeshiko poured the tea, Amu popped a question to Sora.
"So, when did you start dating Andrew-kun?" Amu resting her chin on the back of her hands.
Sora grimaced, "I-it's not like that.." Amu giggled, "You're saying that a lot, huh? Wha, but you're so lucky! Going on a date." Sora choked on her tea, "I'm not that lucky..." "No! I haven't been on one yet, I wish I could.. so you are lucky!"
Sora's POV
Amu never went on a date before? Wha.. But she is only Year 5... "Hey, why don't you go on a double date with me?" I asked. Amu froze.
'Is it really that embarrassing?'
"I-I don't know, and anyway, I don't have a boy friend." "How about Tadase?" I interrupted. She flushed a crimson red and Tadase just smiled at that, "If Amu is willing, then I don't mind :3" I grinned and stood up in triumph, "Alright then it's settled! We are going on a double date!"
"Make that triple date!" I looked over to Yaya who was hugging Kukai's arm with a smile. "Ah Yaya? Why am I being dragged into this..?" Yaya and I ignored him and I continued to grin.
"Alright then, this will be the ultimate date!" I realized that Nadeshiko doesn't have someone yet. "Ah, Nadeshiko? Will you be able to go with us on the ultimate date?" I asked. She smiled warmly, "Iie, I plan on having my dance recital on that day." "Ah, okay. So tomorrow at noon!" I yelled once again to the sky.
3rd POV and FF to Saturday!
"Eh? You can't come?" Sora yelled into her cell phone. "Gomen, but I have to talk care of the house and my brother while my parents are away." Yaya explained. "Ah, okay, bye." Sora closed her phone shut until a vibration rumbled in her palm.
"Hello?" "Ah, Sora-nee! Gomen, but we are going on an outing today. Gomen." "Eh? Not you too Amu!" "Gomen..." "Alright, it's fine. See you later. And have fun on that trip!" "Haha! Alright byee" And with that another phone call has ended. Until...
"Kukai? Ah, naturally you won't come anyway." "Sumimasen, I have soccer practice!" "Yeah yeah I heard it all before. So then, good luck with practice and have fun, 'kay?" "Always, ha! Bye" "Bye."
Sora sighed to herself and looked over to Andrew. He wore his glasses today, and he wore a black shirt with blue streaks with white pants and black shoes. (I suck at descriptions gomen T_T)
"I guess, no one will come." Sora laughed uneasily. Andrew smiled, "Well, anyway, let's just move on to the arcade. We'll play some games to pass the time. Sora grinned, "Sure, let's go!"
The two rushed off to the escalator, unaware of the danger that lurks in the shadows.
Sora: Eh? What kind of cliffhanger is that?
Kat: *sighs in a corner* I know....but! Yeah, I used Japanese words in it Hehe. I guess to put in that japanese vibe? Yeah I dunno. By the way, just in case you guys don't know japanese well,
Sumimasen and gomen=Sorry (if I'm wrong correct me in a review or PM)
Iie=No
My simple request is that you guys give me 3 more reviews :3 I hope you guys pull through and if I don't give anything when it's due, PM me please! :3 Even with harsh words okay? :D By the way, you'll learn a lot more about Andrew when the next chappie comes :D
