New chapter... again! Crystela7, I think I'm going to use your idea in my story. Thank you for the compliment! Anyway, 3, 2, 1, start!
Chapter 8 - Morning
Ayame's POV
I was suddenly awakened by the ringing of my alarm clock. " Ayame! " My mom called. " Wake up! It's time for breakfast! "
I groaned. " One... more... minute! " I called back.
Then I heard footsteps approaching. " AAAAAYAAAAAAAMEEEE! " My screaming mother barged into my room. " YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE! "
I sweatdropped. " For.. what? " I could barely keep my eyes open.
" WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?! " My mom boomed. I hated the morning. If I didn't wake up quickly, this was what my mom would do. " WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE LATE FOR ON A WEEKDAY IN THE MORNING, HUH?! "
I was still closing my eyes. My Charas had already woken up and were having giggling fits. " Three! " Sammy said, trying to keep a straight face even though it was ' hilarious ', as she would say.
" Two! " Savvy giggled.
" One! " Victoria squeaked, trying not to laugh.
Finally, my mother's words sank in... " AHH! I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL! THE GUARDIANS WILL KILL ME! "
My mother looked at me, confused. " Who are the Guardians? "
Then I remembered about a letter Yaya had given me to tell my parents we would be staying after school. " Oh yeah! I forgot to give you this letter! " I fished the envelope out of my schoolbag and gave it to my mom. She quickly read it, signed it, and gave it back to me. " The Guardians are a group of students who have Charas and do schoolwork together. "
" Of course I would let you join! " My mom grinned. Then she noticed Luna. " Hey, is that the Chara that hatched from the egg you found yesterday? "
" Yeah, " I said.
" Hi. I'm Luna. You must be Ayame's mom. " Luna didn't smile often. The only time we saw her smile was when she greeted us. But that was a forced smile, and a really small one. Luna also just plain black eyes. I had noticed that. They didn't sparkle like my Charas' eyes. But yet, there was something about them that was really sad - it was as if I could kind of read through what happened, but I didn't understand it perfectly, though I did understand that she was thrown on the riverbank and turned into an X.
Nicole flew over to Luna and said, " Hi! I'm Nicole, Ayame's mom's Chara. "
" Welcome to the family! " My mom smiled.
Luna smiled a little. This I could tell was a real smile. Then, suddenly, I saw a sparkle in her eyes. It lasted until she saw me looking at her. Instantly, the sparkle disappeared, and Luna put on a straight face.
My mother noticed me. " Oi! Ayame, wake up! " I snapped into reality.
" Sorry! " I said as my mother left to go downstairs.
" Hurry up! " I heard her call. " Your breakfast is getting cold! "
" Okay! " I called back. I quickly brushed my teeth and got dressed. Then, after brushing my hair to make it perfectly straight, I went downstairs to eat breakfast. After that, I rushed to school.
Amu's POV
I ran as fast as I could to school. " Why.. am.. I.. always... late... for school?! " I asked my Charas between panting for air.
" I don't know, " Su giggled. " Maybe it's because you wake up too late-desu! "
" Oi, Hinamori! " I turned sideways to look at Kukai whooshing past me. I rolled my eyes.
" Character Changing with Daichi? " I asked him as I ran to catch up.
" Yup.. Oh, sorry, gotta run! " And he whooshed away again. I coughed as dirt flied into my face.
" Ran! " I complained. " Why can't you Character Change with me?! "
" I like to make you tired! " Ran laughed. I sweatdropped. Then, at the same time because I wasn't paying attention, I bumped into this brown-haired girl...
Regular POV
" Oof! " Ayame had accidently bumped into Amu. Or was it the opposite?
When the two finally regained their composure, they looked at each other's Charas and said at the same time, " Oh, Charas! " Amu and Ayame looked at each other, surprised. " Who are you? " They said at the same time, AGAIN...
Well, that's the end of this chapter! please review!
