~2 months later~
It's been two months since Ikuto didn't come. I put up walls around myself. I only opened up to Rima and sometimes my charas would comfort me. I moved on thinking that it's alright. You can go on Ikuto with that smile that I so loved and I'll keep on living. It was 6 in the morning now. I sighed and got up. It was the first day of school for me. I'm starting school now because 6 months ago when I accepted the invitation, the school board said that I have to wait till the next term to start school. Well I waited and now I'm starting school. I got up from the floor and went to my closet which was just a basket. I went through my stuff. I then dressed myself in my rags. But then I noticed that the rags showed my scars and bruises. I then decided to cover them up with a big hoodie and baggy jeans that were my fathers' until he died. I pull up the hoodie, hiding my face and bright strawberry pink hair. I hated looking at myself. Why? Because Ikuto and Utau once said that I looked beautiful. But they were lying. I researched Ikuto on the public library after he showed me up. It turned out that the famous Ikuto really was the Ikuto at Seiyo.
I then looked at my charas. Rima was the only reason why my shugo charas hadn't turn into x-eggs yet. I then looked at the Humpty Lock around my neck. It's was something from my mother. It was the reason I could character transform with my charas. I then decided to leave my charas at home because well… I had four charas and people with other charas will notice that I have four so yeah. I then brushed my teeth and went downstairs.
"Madam I would like to have my food now." I said and forced myself to smile at my cruel ungrateful step-mother.
"Too bad. You came late. No food for you." My step-mother scolded.
"But the time for my food is 6." I said.
"Did I say 6? I meant 5!" The hag shouted. I stared at the hag in shock. I can't wake up that early. I still need rest from the chores! I then sigh. Guess I have no food today. Hopefully Rima would share. I wonder what would happen on the first day of school.
~Ikuto POV~
"Hey man! Why are you going back to school?" My best buddy and manager Nagihiko asked.
"Because I need a break from being famous." I answered.
"But I thought you liked being famous. The spotlight, the screaming girls and the media." Nagihiko said.
"Well I do like the screaming girls." I said and brushed away a stand of blue hair from my face.
"Oh and by the way did you dump girl number 599?" Nagihiko asked.
"Duh. She was way too clingy. I'm thinking about going back with girl number 357." I replied.
"Nice choice Ikuto. That girl's hot." Nagihiko patted my shoulder.
"Well the player has to have the hottest girls." I said. Yep I was a playboy.
"Well the player still has to do concerts even if he's going to school." Nagihiko said.
"So we're finally back at school. I'll be back in position as the leader of F4 and I'll break hearts all day long." I rubbed my hands together.
"And don't forget. We still need to give those F4 red notice to the people we forgot to give to." Nagihiko chuckled at the thought.
"And there'll be new girls this term." I said. "So how's that little girl of yours'?" I asked.
"You mean Ami?" I nodded. "She's okay. I'm still trying to find her bigger sister." Nagihiko answered.
"How long have you been trying to find her? It's been 8 years already." I said. Nagihiko just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well let's just get to school." I said and we then drove to school. There was a crowd waiting for us at the entrance. Oh how I miss this.
~Amu POV~
"Rima why is there a big crowd here?" I asked Rima.
"The leader of F4 is back." Rima said. I then wondered how F4 was until I remembered something.
"You mean the F4 that made you want to jump over the school roof?" I asked her. She nodded
"Finally they're back. I can now finally give them a piece of my mind." I rolled up my sleeve and stepped forward but Rima stopped me.
"Amu don't. You even lay a finger on them and they'll expel you." Rima said. "Just ignore them." Rima then walked away and I followed her.
~Utau POV~
"Saaya-sama slow down!" Saaya's friend Mizuki yelled out.
"No! Ikuto-koii is finally coming back and we gotta get there as fast as we can!" Saaya screamed over the roar of the engine. I sighed. My dumb brother is finally coming back after 6 month. Saaya then suddenly stopped. We lunged forward from our seats. I looked up to see Saaya stopping beside two girls. I know one of them. She was Rima and the other; well I could tell she was new.
"Hey Rima. Finally found a friend to hang out with. Well hello there loser." Saaya said and she then threw her cup of water toward the girl. The water splashed on her and Saaya laughed with Mizuki and another girl named Aiko. I then sighed. I never wanted to be friends with Saaya. It was only because Ikuto once dated Saaya. I then saw Rima and the girl walk away.
~Normal POV~
"I can't believe the nerve of that girl!" Rima shouted. Amu and Rima were in the girls' bathroom and Amu was flinging out the water from her hair.
"Well when I first came here, I already knew that this school had bitches." Amu said.
"Then why you come to this school?" Rima asked.
"Because this school was paying for my solar ship and I don't have money to go to any school, remember?" Amu said. "And you need someone to protect you." Amu then grabbed her backpack and walked out of the bathroom. Rima followed her. They then walked toward the main door. They then came face first into a crowd.
"What the heck is going on?" Amu cursed.
"Hey watch it. Ikuto and Nagi-sama are coming through the door." A girl said. She then pointed at Ikuto and Nagihiko. Rima and Amu sighed. Soon the crowd parted in half. Amu and Rima were on one side of the crowd and were watching Ikuto and Nagihiko walk through the door. The crowd of girls started screaming. Soon the boy named Ikuto raised his hand. Everyone became quiet. Ikuto and Nagihiko then met up with two other people which Rima told Amu, were Kukai and Kairi. They came together and hugged each other. Ikuto then went up to a boy and asked for a can of soda. The boy named Kukai handed Ikuto one and Ikuto then poured soda onto the boy. Everybody started laughing and Ikuto smirked satisfied with what he did. Amu can't believe that she knew that jerk. No wonder he didn't keep his promise. He was a jerk-face. Amu then noticed something floating next to the so-called group F4. Amu then remembered that Rima told Amu that the group F4 had shugo charas. Amu then thought about what they did to Rima. Rima then nudged Amu but Amu didn't move.
"Amu don't even think about it. They will make your life the worse. Remember what they did to me?" Rima said but Amu still didn't listen. Amu was already walking toward the group F4.
"You think you're all that do you?" Amu started. "Just because two of you are famous doesn't mean you can do that to people. Well now you're famous a pie-face." Amu said and she pulled out the pie that Suu baked and then Amu threw the pie in Ikuto's face. The crowd gasped. Geez what's with people and gasping? Amu thought. Amu and Rima then walked away.
Once they were far away enough, Rima started her lecture.
"Amu what were you thinking? Now that you did that, Ikuto's going to get you. I know Ikuto stood you up and he's a jerk for pouring soda on the poor boy but he's a jerk who's the son of the principal of this school. He could give you a F4 card and make your life the worse and then he could expel you!" Rima said.
"I don't care. I got my revenge." Amu said.
"Do you even know what an F4 red card is?" Rima yelled. Amu didn't answer. "You don't know do you?" Rima asked. Amu nodded.
"An F4 red card is a card that F4 puts in your locker. If you get it, then everybody turns against you. They'll make your life miserable." Rima said. Amu just sigh thinking about what she got herself into.
~Before Lunch Amu POV~
Finally class was over. I met up with Rima and talked about how our day went and where we wanted to sit at lunch. I then went to my locker to put my books back inside before lunch started. I opened the locker door to find something taped to my locker wall.
A F4 red card.
