Event 4:
I woke up groggily and tried to make sense of the time. It was nearly 3AM; why was I up so early? I laid back in bed and tried to figure out what had woken me up. It took a few moments to realize that my cellphone was going off. I picked it up and half expected it to be (C/B's name here). To my surprise, the voice on the other end of the line was Ami.
"Hello?" My voice was colorless.
"Onee-chan?"
"Ami-chan?" I was wide awake now.
"Did I wake you up?"
"Yes, but that's ok. What's up?"
"I..I..I just wanted to talk to you."
"Talk to me?"
"Yes.."
"Ok.."
"I miss you,Onee-chan."
"I miss you too."
Choice A: Tell Ami you have to sleep.
Choice B: Continue to talk to the little girl
Choice A Outcome:
"Ami, kid, I love you, but I have to sleep." I sighed.
"Oh, right." Ami sounded a little disheartened.
"But-"
"I'm sorry for disturbing you." The phone hung up abruptly.
I felt like crap. Ami must have called me for a reason. But what was that reason. I checked the caller ID. The ID was anonymous. Now that I thought about it Ami was never given a cell phone before. Maybe she was at a pay phone. But at 3am? What kid would be out and about at 3am? I laid back in bed and tried to make sense of what was happening.
Choice B outcome:
I decided that my sister needed me for whatever reason it may be and stayed on the phone with her.
"Thanks, Onee-chan!"
"For what?"
"For talking to me..I know it's really really late…"
"No worries, Ami-chan." I smiled and wiped away the morning stars in my eyes.
"I..I.. just wanted to talk to you.."
"About what?"
"Nothing..just before I.." Ami stopped short and the line went quiet.
"Ami?"
The line hung up. I looked at the caller ID and realized that the number was under anonymous. How stupid could I have been? Of course Ami didn't have a cellphone yet and no way would my mother let her call me at this hour with the house phone. Just where was she calling from?
Continuation:
Choice A: If you chose Ikuto..
Choice B: If you chose Kukai..
Choice C: If you chose Tadase..
Choice D: If you chose Nagihiko..
Choice A Outcome:
I messaged Ikuto and hoped that he would pick up. So many thoughts and worries were going through my mind at that moment. My phone buzzed and I thanked the lord.
What is it?
Ami, my little sister, just called me /:
And..?
She doesn't have a cell and she ddnt call from the home phone..
What are you worried about then?
Well -.- why was she calling me at 3am from an anon #?
Hmm..good point. Here, can you sneak out?
Right now?
No in the middle of june -_-"
I can i can. -.- where do we meet?
At the park where I beat up Mateo.
Our conversation ended there and I threw on a pair of skinny jeans as well as a blue striped shirt. Slipping out of the house was a piece of cake, navigating out of the estate was the hard part. There were patrols guarding the property and someone at the main house was obviously still awake and watching T.V. I walked past the house crawling by the bushes and made a run for the gate. Climbing over, making sure not to attract noise, I was out of the estate and bounding down to the park. Ikuto waited for me with an expectant look on his face.
"Hey."
"Hey, you don't look too good." He says, touching my cheek.
"Just worried.."
"I see.'
"Do you have any siblings?"
Ikuto had a far away look in his eyes, "I have a little sister too."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but we don't talk much if at all."
"That's sad."
"I know."
"So why'd you want to meet?"
"I wanted you to stop worrying." Ikuto shook his head and motioned to the papers in his other hands.
"What are those?"
"Song sheets. I want to create a medley with these because they compliment your voice and my violin. The first round is tomorrow."
"Such short notice." I quirked a smile.
"I kinda knew for awhile, but we've been busy."
The early morning darkness was slowly fading away.
"So.." I fingered through the music.
"What's your melody?"
"My melody?"
"Mhm. Your natural tune. The songs you hum to yourself, are they sad or happy?" Ikuto said pointedly. "Do they make you think of something or someone?"
"I never really thought of it that way.." I shrugged. "I don't sing very much so I can't say I know my melody."
"Then we'll have to figure it out, now won't we?"
"Why?"
"Because it will increase your singing talent." Ikuto smirked.
Choice B Outcome:
I fell asleep almost instantly after my head hit the pillow. Only after a nightmare did I wake up at five AM. I scolded the clock and found myself mechanically dressing myself into uniform. My mind was in a haze and I walked down the path of the estate to the gates. Kukai was waiting for me with an annoyed look on his face.
"Hey Kukai!"
"Morning." His voice was colorless.
"Morning, Hinamori-san." Hitomi's voice added.
"H-Hitomi-san!" I exclaimed. "G-Good morning."
I flinched instinctively when she extended her hand to me.
"Hope you don't mind me." Her smile obviously fake.
"N-not at all." I was afraid of the girl. No telling what she did to the other women who were close to Kukai.
"Shall we get going?" Kukai asked, taking my hand in his.
I blushed almost instantly, "We don't want to be late."
"Right." Hitomi said, her eyes glued to our hands.
Kukai and I chatted tensely with Hitomi always adding her two cents. I was growing increasingly annoyed with the girl's presence. Neither kukai or I could relax with this chick spying on our every move. Kukai was annoyed for some unknown reason and that just made everything worse.
"What's wrong?" I asked, when we finally had to all sit separately in class.
"Hitomi. I couldn't relax with her watching us." Kukai pouted. "I was afraid to blow our cover."
"I was too, don't worry." I gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze and even kissed his cheek for good measure.
"B-Better focus today." He said while stuttering.
"Right." I smiled.
Class breezed by and i was happy that I was really understanding the material. Kukai was even impressed, but still insisted on tutoring me.
"You can tutor me once you make the national team."
"Then that'll be in no time." Kukai grinned.
"You better hope so." i grinned back.
Choice C Outcome:
I debated whether or not to call Tadase. He would probably know what to do. Tsukasa-san was fast asleep so he was out of the question. But Tadase was asleep too, wasn't he? So why was he still an option to me? Shaking my head, I decided to go to sleep and mull over Ami tomorrow. Breakfast was short and fulfilling; Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia walked me to the gates. We were all surprised to see Tadase there already waiting for me. Now it wasn't Tadase who surprised us. Instead, it was the girl next to him that was beaming at me.
"Good morning, Hinamori-san!" Koizumi ran up and hugged me.
"H-Hi?" I replied, baffled.
Tadase looked at me confused as well.
"I'm going to school with you and Tadase-kun!"
"R-Really?" I asked shocked.
"Yup!" Koizumi smiled even more. "Now we can become better friends!"
"I-I see.." On the inside, I was panicking.
I knew this girl hated me. Today, Koizumi was wearing the school uniform and had her long beautiful violet hair tied in a side ponytail. Her green eyes were outlined by the mascara, eye liner, and eye shadow that she had applied this morning. Koizumi made a real effort to look good today compared to me who didn't wear anything but lip gloss and my uniform. My own chest length hair was gathered up into a high pony tail and accessorized with my favorite red x-barrette.
"We should head to school." Tadase said, clearing his throat.
"Right." I mumbled and immediately went to his side.
"Are you ok?" Tadase asked, taking my hand in his.
"Y-Yes!" I blushed hard, focusing on Tadase's hand.
"Well, aren't you two love birds cute?" Koizumi chided.
This would be a very agonizing walk to school.6
Choice D Outcome:
I was worried about the timing, but I decided to call Nagihiko. To my surprise, I didn't even have to wait three rings.
"Nagi?"
"You're up too?"
"Yeah, why are you up?"
"Too excited for the day trip. I mean it isn't the first away game I've done, but it's different.." His voice trailed off.
"How's it different?"
Nagi chuckled on the other end of the line, "I've got my own personal cheerleader."
"S-Shut up. I am not your cheerleader!" I nearly yelled.
"Shhh!" Nagi chuckled. "You're going to wake up someone."
"Hmph."
"So what's wrong?"
"Eh?"
"You called because something was wrong, right?"
"Right."
"Well, what happened?"
"Ami called me just now. My little sister.." I explained how she couldn't have had a phone at this time and that the call came from an unknown ID.
"I see…that is troublesome." Nagi was quiet for a long time. "I'm sure she just needed to hear her Onee-chan's voice."
"Yeah..you're probably right."
"…"
"You should sleep." I advised.
"You too."
"Well, I'll see you at the station later?"
"Nope, earlier than that. I'll pick you up!"
"Alright."
"I'll call you when I wake up?"
"I'd love that." I smiled wider.
"You're grinning ear to ear, aren't you?" Nagihiko teased.
"A-Am not!"
"Good night, AMu-chan."
"Good night, Nagi."
I hung up and went to bed.
The next morning, Ran and Miki got me ready for my trip. Suu had packed my overnight bag while Miki decided what I would leave when I departed. Miki outfitted me with a paisley chiffon dress. The dress met my mid-thigh and I wore black tights underneath with a summer hat. On the dress was a brown thick belt that matched the dress nicely. For shoes, I wore a pair of crisscross wedge sandals that were about four inches tall.
"Don't you think this is a bit too dressy?" Amu asked, surveying herself in the mirror.
"Nah, you look cute." Miki beamed.
"Yeah, Amu-chan!" Suu agreed.
"Nagi will fall for you even more."
I blushed immensely, "Uh huh."
"Well, you should get going." Dia interrupted. "Don't want to be late, do you?"
I giggled, "Nope, I don't!"
The four of them walked me to the gates and left me there until Nagi came. He arrived around 7am.
"Hey!" Nagi greeted.
"Hey yourself." I smiled.
"You look cute today." Nagi winked and offered me his arm.
"Thank you, not looking too bad yourself." I chuckled and took his arm.
Nagi wore a classic pair of blue straight jeans, a white t-shirt, and a plaid hollister flannel top. The flannel top had the sleeves folded to his elbows and his hair was down like usual. The walk to the station was about twenty minutes long and all Nagihiko could discuss was the new dance routine he thought up.
"We'll practice it at the hotel, ok?"
"But won't we get home late?"
"Well yeah.."
"Then how will we have time to practice? You have to warm up with the team."
"We're sharing the hotel room." Nagi groaned and chuckled. "We'll find time."
My heart beat quickened.
Sharing a room?!
