AN: Two chapters in one night! Aren't you guys lucky ducks? I got a review like ten minutes after I posted chapter six so I was motivated to write chapter seven. Holy cow… seven chapters already?! I wonder how long I'm going to make this story… probably until I either get bored or run out of ideas. Anyways, enjoy and please review!
Turning to face the twins I shoved the glasses case to the bottom of my bag along with my pill bottle.
"Hey guys what are you doing out here?" I tried to change the subject, but to no avail.
"Maka don't think you can worm your way out of this one. What were those pills you just took?"
"Oh those? Just for cramps you know it's just that time of the month." I knew the excuse was weak and kind of personal but who knows maybe it could work.
"Okay umm you could have just said for cramps" Hikaru said backing away.
"Yeah that was a bit too much" agreed Kaoru following his brother. After they left I took out my glasses case again. I ran my fingers up and down the fake alligator skin print but decided to put it away, after all I didn't need it. I followed them back to the classroom and tried to continue my day as if nothing had happened.
"Hey Maka-chan?" Honey asked me, "Would you be interested in coming to the beach with us?" I could already see a problem with that.
"I'm sorry Honey but I don't have a bathing suit." That should be a good enough excuse right? Apparently not,
"Oh don't worry about that Maka" the twins purred with a devilish smirk, "Our mother is a fashion designer and she just came out with a new line of bikinis. We'll bring some tomorrow and you can decide which ones you want to keep then!" Shoot shoot shoot! Damn these rich kids! How can I decline now? Maybe I'll say that I'm busy, yeah that should work.
"I'm sorry I just don't think I'll be able to make it, I'm busy then." I politely turned down the offer before I realized the mistake I made.
"We never said when Maka… How could you already know that you're busy?" Two pairs of amber eyes stared at me intensely until I replied,
"Well, I mean I usually study on weekends…" It was a weak lie at best and I know that some of the boys were looking at me funny.
"Well seeing that you have the top grades in our class I think you could spare one weekend right?" Why did Kyoya's arguments make so much sense? They are impossible to turn down.
"Alright then I guess I'll go." I told them with a sigh. Everyone seemed thrilled that they could have our whole class go together, but all I was doing was dreading being talked into it. Maybe if we went in like a month they wouldn't notice? Who am I kidding it's so obvious. I'm going to need to wear shorts that are at least mid-thigh otherwise there will be a lot of questions.
"Well then can I make a request on the bathing suit?" I asked the twins.
"Well I don't see why not what is it?" they both seemed delighted that I was going to wear one of their mothers creations that they didn't care if I made one simple request.
"Could it have a pair of shorts that go to mid-thigh? I would feel more comfortable that way." I was practically holding my breath waiting for a response.
"Well, my mother doesn't have any bathing suits like that but we can design one for you! That way it will be custom-made just for you!" The two seemed thrilled with the concept of making a bathing suit for me so I had no objections but deep down I was still worried.
"So, when was this little trip planned for?" hopefully it would be far enough away if not I would just have to be very careful.
"Well this weekend is a long weekend so we thought we'd leave on Thursday morning and come home Tuesday evening. How does that sound?" Tamaki seemed to have everything all planned out and I didn't want to disappoint so I told him I could go.
"Well usually the long weekend is spent with family, are you sure your parents would be okay with you going?" Of course it would be Kyoya asking me questions about my parents, but I didn't want anyone in class to feel sorrier for me than they already do so I'm going to have to lie again. It's not like what I'm saying isn't true I'm just obstructing the truth.
"Actually I was going to be home alone this weekend so I would have just been studying. It's no problem at all." Parents go out for little vacations without their children right? Because if they don't then this will look weird to my classmates.
"Well that's quite fortunate then isn't it?" There was something hiding behind Kyoya's words but I couldn't figure it out so I just ignored his comment.
"So for travel arrangements we will be using my family's jet. The plane leaves at 10 in the morning so what time should we come pick you up from your house?" Tamaki was being very generous but I couldn't have them coming to my home. My apartment being as small as it is they would see that a family of three could not live there.
"You know what, thank you for the offer but it would be better if I met you somewhere. Do you know where the outdoor shopping center is?" I chose the shopping center because it's in the middle of town so meeting in a place like that they wouldn't be able to guess even approximately where I live.
"Oh do you mean the one in the middle of town? Of course, how about we meet there at 9:30 am?" I would arrive at 9 to make sure they wouldn't see from which direction I was walking but other than that everything sounded great.
"That's perfect! Which beach is it? I want to know what kind of clothes I should pack." I also wanted to know if I could get away with wearing capris the whole time because even though I can wear shorts, capris are safer.
"Don't worry about that Maka," the twins chimed in, "We will be packing everything for you, just bring your toiletries." I was a bit afraid that they would have me dressed up in some weird outfit but if it meant I didn't have to pack then I'm all up for it.
Kyoya's POV: No matter how hard I push her; Maka never reveals anything about her parents, home or home life. Also she seems to be self-conscious about her legs which doesn't make sense because she's so skinny. I wonder what she's trying to hide. Oh well, secrets tend to surface when I'm around. Probably because of my constant digging. I'm going to figure out what Maka is hiding, and I'm going to figure it out by the end of the trip.
