Chapter 3: New student
Recap: I was in the world of the Guardians and Seiyo. Soon enough I'd get my charas and I'd fall in love with a person I'd never thought I'd fall in love with…
I walked back to Amu's house, in which I was very familiar with. As I walked through her doorway, her unusual parents suddenly turned normal to greet me.
"You brought home a friend, Amu-Chan! She's never brought home a friend before…"Mrs. Hinamori wondered what to say to me and I lightly giggled.
"It is quite fine, Mrs. Hinamori." She looked at me curiously but then smiled.
Amu then slightly stammered as she asked her mother the question we talked about and the possibilities. "Mom?" She smiled at her multiple-personality daughter.
"Yes, Amu dearest?" Amu put a hand on her head and looked away.
"Well, Jasmine here has lost her house due to foreclosure and she needs somewhere to stay until she can get an apartment. Is that okay?" Was the lie we came up with so they didn't figure out that I was from the human world and I somehow got into the anime world.
"Yes, Mrs. Hinamori. As I stay here, I will do housework and clean up for you so you won't have to do so much. You do work hard enough, you need a break sometimes."
Mr. and Mrs. Hinamori smiled happily and instantly agreed. Ami had followed us up to Amu's room and started grabbing at air… which I assumed was the charas, Ran, Miiki, and Suu.
I asked aloud, "But I can't just stay here the whole time while looking for a job. I might not like it, but I need an education." She hummed in deep thought. Amu seemed to actually be listening to us then she cheerfully suggested,
"Maybe you can go to Onee-chan's school!" She nodded and she tugged me back downstairs. She told her mother happily,
"Mom! I figured out something that would benefit all of us!" I got a bit annoyed and thought,
It was Ami-Chan's idea, dumbass. But I just smiled and let her rant on.
"She could go to school with me!" She finally finished, catching a quick breather. Her mother clasped her hands together and cheered,
"That's a great idea, honey! Let's go get her sign-up sheet!" The two rushed to find the nearest coat and tugged me along with them. I can tell you one thing. Mrs. Hinamori's driving was really cool! She drove like a race car driver or something! We had gotten to the main office and a pretty red-haired lady asked us,
"Is there something I can do for you young ladies?" It was obvious she wanted to go home and probably have some wine with her girlfriends. Amu didn't seem to notice, as well as Mrs. Hinamori, and replied breathlessly,
"Actually, we'd like to fill out a sign-up sheet for my…" She stopped and turned to me. I finished for her,
"Niece, her niece." Mrs. Hinamori seemed to catch on and nodded at the skeptical lady. But after Mrs. Hinamori nodded, she just forced another fake smile on and handed us the paper.
"Please do have a seat while you fill it out. She should be guaranteed to be in be Monday." In 10 minutes flat, Amu and Mrs. Hinamori had it turned in and headed out me in hand. I wanted to ask what they put down on the sheet, but something bubbled up in my throat, something I haven't felt in 6 years.
The first day of school syndromes.
Amu's pinkish red Chara, Ran, told me in her usual cheery tone,
"Daijoubu! It'll be fine! Just do what Amu did!" I raised a playful brow as the car moved along and whispered back,
"What? Put on an ice queen façade and pretend to be Cool & Spicy?" I did sarcastic gestures for emphasis on 'Cool & Spicy'.
Amu's happy expression seemed to dull as she whined, "Hey, Jasmine…that's not nice you know."
Then, Suu cut in to stop our soon-to-be bickering. "That's not it! Desu~!" I looked towards her childish tone of voice. "Her attitude that first day. She was completely freaking out but she kept her calm during that time period desu~." I blinked in confusion.
"Suu…" She nodded meaning, "Yes?", "Are you sure that was you speaking?"
She slightly pouted before replying, "Hai. That was me desu~. Good night."
Everyone said good night and tomorrow would be Monday….
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Amu angrily shook me. "Wake up! It's time for your first day!"
I bounced up in determination, making Amu fall on her rear end.
"Amu…" She nodded slowly. "Can I borrow a uniform?" She laughed as if she knew this would happen and she pulled out a separate outfit from her dresser. It was the same, save the leg warmers.
I hugged her thankfully and thanked her. It was a habit, even if it was a gift or something along the lines of that. We got dressed and headed to school. On the way, I asked Amu a question out of the blue.
"Can you help me get over it?" She blinked as I clarified a bit more.
"With my fear of the first day of school?" She nodded and hummed.
"Best I can say is be yourself, no matter what. I have to put on my facade now so see you later, Jasmine!" She suddenly turned into 'Cool & Spicy' Amu and the two girls from the anime stated that clearly.
I traveled through the school trying to figure my way around then i heard Miiki's voice tell me, "Turn left here."
I did so then asked softly, "Miiki? Shouldn't you be with Amu-Chan?" Miiki slightly laughed and replied,
"Nah. There's no X-eggs so we are fine for right now. Plus, she has to help out the Guardians. Ever more the reason to help you find your classroom." I nodded and said,
"Thanks, Miiki." As we reached the class, a familiar teacher crashed into me. "Ah, Nikaidou-sensei~!Watch where you're going." He nodded, gathered his things, and walked past me towards the 5th grade hallway. I sighed at the many, almost too many, hallways in this schools as I entered the classroom near me.
