Mai's POV:

It was the day we were setting off to grandmother's house. Packing up some last clothes, I assessed what I was wearing in the vanity mirror.

A gray V-neck hugged my petite form easily, tight in all the right spots. Matched with a pair of black skinny jeans and gray ankle-boots with slight heel, I smiled to myself. I'd certainly matured over the last two years. You could tell by the way I acted (most of the time), the way I dressed (most of the time) and the way I reacted to rudeness (sometimes).

"Lexi, are you ready?" Frederic called from the kitchen. Throwing on a silver chain with a simple, black pendant strung on, I rushed out of the room.

"Yup, coming!" I answered, bouncing down the stairs. Of course, if there was one part of me that hadn't changed, it would be my clum-

"AGH!" I cried out, tripping over the carpet. Bracing myself for the pain, I screwed my eyes shut. It never came. Reopening my eyes, I looked up to see Frederic's amused face staring down at me.

"You little klutz." He chuckled, helping me back onto my feet. I playfully smacked his arm, but I knew it was true.

"Let's go?" I asked cheerfully, making my way towards the door. He laughed, throwing his head back, before nodding in response.

About half an hour later, we were standing on the threshold of the SPR building. For once I wasn't late,, but that was probably only because of Frederic.

"Mai!" Emiko called out, running in our direction. I smiled and waved at her. Last night, my parents, Annalise and Emiko had all stayed at a hotel. Gene and his parents had stayed over at Naru and Lin's place.

Naru. My heart clenched at the thought of the arrogant male. How could he just break my heart like that? The very thought almost brought tears to my eyes. Almost.

"MAI-CHAN!" Someone yelled, just before I felt a large pair of arms wrap around my waist. I cried out in surprise as I was lifted off the ground and swung around. Thrown into the air, I found myself laughing and giggling whilst Bou-san caught me and repeated the process. We continued in this manner until someone cleared their throat. Bou-san caught me and set me down on the ground, giving me a sheepish grin.

"Are you two idiots done?" Naru asked coldly. I nodded, not trusting me voice, but inside I was fuming; how could someone go to loving and caring to cold and distant?

"So, who's going in which vehicle?" Yasu asked, a glint of mischief in his eyes. Almost immediately, Emiko screamed in horror and ran to stand behind Gene.

"HELL NO!" She screamed, in either revolt or fear. I gave her a cheeky grin before turning to face Yasu.

"I'll go in the car with you guys." I said solemnly. I had to hold back a giggle as everyone mock gasped (save for Naru and Lin, of course).

"NO MAI, YOU'LL DIE!" Emiko cried out, and I seriously couldn't tell if she was joking or not. I waggled my eyebrows in her direction, before walking passed Naru. Our shoulders brushed, and I couldn't help but enjoy the shocks that were sent down my spine. But I kept my poke face on; I refused to let me notice the effect he had on me!

"Don't die, Mai." He said, his voice quiet and somewhat...teasing?

I shook it off; Naru didn't know how to joke. Hell, sometimes I wondered if he was really a human or a robot. That's when my thoughts were interrupted by Yasu shoving me aside to jump onto Bou-san's back, screaming out...lyrics?

"Don't hold your breath." I muttered in response, giving Naru a look.

He smirked and gave me a small shove in the direction of the car. Shooting him a dirty look, I climbed into the car after uttering a short prayer.

Thankfully, it seemed like the others weren't in the mood to cause any trouble (all except for Yasu). Apparently, the others had all been out celebrating (save for John) and were dead tired.

"So, Mai...what's going on with you and Naru?" Ayako asked, her voice light. I shrugged, not really wanting to answer. I know they wanted some juicy stuff, but...there really wasn't much to say.

"Nothing? Humph. I would've thought you would've had sex already." Ayako stated, sounding surprised. Instantly, my cheeks flamed with embarrassment.

"Ayako!" I cried out in dismay, crossing my arms and looking away.

"C'mon, you old hag. They got together yesterday, I give them a week before they crack and jump each other!" Bou-san exclaimed, putting down his own prediction. I gaped and stared at him; WHAT THE HELL!

"Nah, I bet you he'll jump her when we get there because he clearly does not trust us with his girlfriend." Yasu grinned, giving me a look.

"What is this, 'Let's Embarrass Mai' Day?" I asked, groaning. They all nodded in sync and I found myself glaring at them with mock hate.

"Yup." Yasu answered, smiling widely.

"I hate you." I groaned, slumping in my seat.

"We know!" They all replied, before erupting into laughter. Sometimes I really wish I could drive to the locations on my own. In peace.

A few, painful hours later, we were finally at my grandma's house. Smiling in relief, I jumped out of the car and skipped over to where Emi and Gene both stood, smiling and chatting.

"HELLO!" I screamed into their faces, giggling madly.

"Hi Mai!" Emiko laughed, giving me a one-arm hug. Gene smiled and ruffled my hair absentmindedly, looking off in the distance. Suddenly, our peaceful moment was interrupted by grammy yelling out in surprise.

"Dante!" She exclaimed, happy. Turning, I felt my heart drop into my stomach as I came face to face with the one and only...Dante Harris

A/N: I give you guys permission to beat me with a stick. :( Even I'm disappointed in myself. Dang. Expect another update soon, though!
