Amu's P.O.V.
I woke up early this morning and got ready for school. To tell the truth, I'm actually the kind of person who likes their sleep, but because I didn't want Kukai to be late, I always wake up early for him. Mostly because I know that there is absolutely no way he would wake up by himself. The day that he does will be the day the world ends. I grabbed a piece of toast and stuffed it into my mouth as I headed across the street to Kukai's house. Kukai's mom knew that I would always come get Kukai so she never locks the door in the morning. I walked straight into his house and casually walked into Kukai's room. His room was the same as always. Soccer stuff, jerseys, socks, books, and clothes everywhere. I sighed as I walked up to Kukai, who was still sleeping soundly in his bed, snoring softly. I sat down on the edge of his bed and looked at his sleeping face. And here comes the everyday difficulty. Every time I come to wake him up, I hesitate. Kukai always looks so peacefull when he's sleeping and he always makes me wonder whether or not I should wake him up or not. But then again, everyone looks peaceful when they're sleeping.
"Kukai, wake up!" I said sofly while shaking his shoulder. Kukai just ignored me and turned to his side. "Kukai! You're going to be late if you don't wake up!" I tried again, but he still failed to budge. I sighed and tried a few more times but the best I got was a "5 more minutes" before he went back to Dreamland.
"Ok then, Kukai, I didn't want to do this..." I took a deep breath before yelling, "SOUMA KUKAI YOU STUPID IDIOT! IF YOU DON'T GET UP THIS INSTANT I WILL THROW AWAY ALL YOUR POSSESIONS AND I WILL TELL UTAU ALL YOUR EMBARRASING SECRETS SO GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED!"
That seemed to do the trick, since Kukai's head popped out of the covers with his eyes wide. "You wouldn't."
"Oh, but I would." And with that, Kukai shot up from his bed and pushed me out of his room to get changed. One of the privileges of being a best friend is that I have seen every side of Kukai, while Utau has only seen the "cool and cheery" Kukai. I smiled to myself at the thought. But I knew there was no way that Kukai would like me back. That's just how it is.
"Let's go now!" Kukai yelled as he burst through his door and ran downstairs. I ran after him and when we both got what we needed, we ran out of the house and headed to school. We slowed down when we were near the school and started walking in silence.
"Amu."
"Yes, Kukai?" I turned my head towards Kukai, who had his head up looking at the clouds above us and his arms behind his head.
"You shouldn't watch me while I sleep you know. I mean, it makes you look like a pervert," Kukai snickered. A vein popped as Kukai continued to laugh.
"Well, if you were already awake, why didn't you say so? God! I'm never going over to wake you up again."
Kukai's P.O.V.
"Aw, don't be like that! We're besties aren't we?" Amu suddenly fell silent after I said that. I frowned as I turned my head to look at Amu, who looked kind of upset. "Hey, what's wrong?"
Amu shook her head. "Nothing, just wondering if I can still go over to your house, even when you get a girlfriend. I mean, girls don't usually like it when other girls do that right?" Amu laughed bitterly. I frowned and wondered myself. It was true, what Amu had said. Would everything still be the same if I start going out with Utau? I could tell Amu was troubled, even though she was trying her best to hide it. Before we knew it, we were in front of the school gates.
"Ok, well then, see ya Kukai!" Amu called over her shoulder as she ran to join her group of friends. I watched her from a distance and wondered just how long this friendship will last until. I mean, they say childhood friends will have to part some day.
"Yo, dude! What are you doing there standing like an idiot?" my best mate, Ikuto, slapped me on the back disrupting my thoughts.
"Oh, nothing important," I mumbled. "Let's get to class." Ikuto just shrugged and followed after me.
Lunchtime...
Ikuto and I went to the cafeteria to get our food.
"Yo, dude! Hurry up!" Ikuto called when I was getting my food.
"Ok! Chill! You're not going to die if you wait for a few more seconds!" I called back.
"I beg to differ." I sighed and quickly got my lunch before walking with Ikuto to the rooftop, where we usually eat. My friends started eating right away but I waited for a few minutes. Usually, Amu would come and eat with us but she hasn't showed up yet. Frowning, I picked up my sandwich and took a bite.
"Hey, I wonder where Amu is," Nagi said while munching on his salad.
"Yeah, did you say something wrong?" Tadase teased. The guys burst out laughing while I just took another bite of my sandwich.
"I wonder..."
Narrator's P.O.V.
Meanwhile...
On the other side of the school, Amu was eating lunch with her friends.
"Well, this is new," Rima said while eating her sushi. "What happened?" Amu looked at her confused. "What? Usually you eat lunch with that idiot senpai don't you? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Amu just smiled, "Nothing happened. I just thought it would be better for me to start distancing myself from Kukai so it won't be so hard to do so when he gets a girlfriend." Rima and Yaya frowned while Amu just pretended like nothing was wrong. I wonder what happened... they both thought. It was unusual for Amu to distance herself from her best friend.
After school...
"Man, I've never seen Kukai so pissed before," Ikuto whispered while Nagi nodded in agreement. Our usually cheerful soccer star was in a real bad mood. Kukai has been emitting a "Come closer and you die" aura around him throughout lunch. Our very own Kukai Souma, the one who has captured all the girls' hearts, was being ignored by our favourite pinkette. And boy was he ticked off.
"I feel like he's a bomb that can explod any minute," Tadase whispered to Nagi.
"Shh! He might hear you!" Nagi hushed when Kukai coincidentally turned his head in their direction.
"Dude, hurry up!" Kukai shouted to Ikuto.
"Oh, so you're walking home with lil' ole me now? Just because your precious childhood friend is ignoring you?" Ikuto was now pushing Kukai over the edge. "Well, too bad! I don't enjoy being someone's second choice, ya know?" Ikuto huffed and turned his back against Kukai.
"Come on, Ikuto!" Kukai whined.
"No can do, bro. And besides, I have to help out at the library."
Kukai raised his eyebrow, then burst out laughing at the thought of Ikuto helping out in the library. "You? Help out? In the library? Hahahaha! Oh my god, don't make me laugh!"
"I'm not kidding. Apparently I need to start my volunteer hours so the teacher forced me to go help out in the library. So bothersome..." Ikuto yawned. "Well, see ya," and with that, the blue-haired teen headed towards the library, leaving Kukai by himself in the hallway.
While that was happening...
"Amu-chi! Why are you taking so long?" Yaya whined. "Let's hurry up and go to the mall!"
"Sorry Yaya," Amu said while getting her stuff, "I still need to go to the library."
"The library?" Rima said skeptically.
"Yes, the frickin' library because according to Nikaidou-sensei, I either have to go help out in the library or write a 10 page essay with the topic of "How to avoid being late in the morning"." Rima and Yaya laughed at Amu's misery before leaving her be. Amu sighed and headed towards the library. It's alright, she thought. I'll just get this over with. She entered the school library and headed over to the librarian, only to bump into...
Rhythm: Please review! Yeah!
