CHAPTER 18: Lying really sucks butt

Wednesday, 12:00 HOURS

LOCATION: SCHOOL BABY!

COMPLETELY HEALED

Oh hello there, you remember me right? Mashiro Rima. Oh, you don't? Well, I am the girl who has completely recovered from her broken leg, ready to go to Tokyo in 3 days and shake her booty as one of Seiyo Academy's cheerleaders, and await a confession from Fujisaki Nagihiko, whom obviously likes her.

That's right….my life is the bo-bo-bomb! And yours S.U.C.K.S. HAHA!

Can I get a "Go Rima!"

WOO HOO! WOO HOO!

"Rima let's go home already," Amu sighed as I changed out of my gym uniform and into my regular uniform. I flung ma bag over my shoulder and smiled as I skipped along with Amu all the way home.

O.O.O.O

AMU'S POV:

So I was happily doing my homework (Researching soup recipes) and stuff (Painting my toe nails), whilst Rima was down the hall taking a shower, and then Ikuto called me!

"Ikuto!" I squealed answering it on the first ring.

"Sup?" He greeted.

"Nothing, what brings you to my cellular phone this fine evening?" I laughed.

"Hm, nothing. "

"Oh, I think it's something."

"Well I'm over at the Fujisaki mansion tonight, his mother wanted to meet me, and Nagihiko is acting strangely,"

"Maybe he is embarrassed….?" I suggested.

"No, like fluffy dreamy strange,"

"Oh….can't imagine that," I sang swiping some nail polish on my little toe.

"Does Rima like Nagihiko?" He asked me suddenly. My heart rate increased.

What do I do? What do I do?

I can't tell my best friend's secret….but I can't lie to my boyfriend.

"I don't know…." I tried to lie the best way I could.

"How can you not know? You are best friends!"

IKUTO'S POV:

"Well we don't tell secrets like normal girls do…." Amu trailed off on the other end.

It was strange but…I knew Amu, and I knew she couldn't lie.

"Well can you find out please?" I asked her using my ultra sexy voice.

"Sure I'll ask now!" She said a relieved tone.

Maybe she wanted to know too.

She put me on hold and I waited.

AMU'S POV:

I ran down the hall and knocked on the bathroom door.

"WHAT!" Rima screamed.

"AM I ALLOWED TO TELL ANYONE THAT YOU LIKE NAGIHIKO?" I screamed back.

"NO!" She squealed, "AS FAR AS EVERYONE KNOWS I HATE HIM! HATE HIM!"

"Um….Okay," I sighed and ran back into the room.

RIMA'S POV:

I can't have everyone know. It would be like me confessing, and he has to confess to me first.

IKUTO'S POV:

"She hates him!" Amu's voice yelled on the other end, which was suspicious, "You know…she does. She wouldn't lie to me. She wouldn't."

"You sure?" I gasped.

"Yes…she never liked him…never….really she doesn't…. always complaining about how friendly he is and…..yeah….hate," Amu continued.

This is bad.

Amu doesn't lie.

Well, she can't….but anyway.

This is bad.

"Thanks Amu, well b-bye…."

"Ikuto wait! By any chance does he….like her?" Amu inquired.

Shit, she's onto me.

"nah," I lied flawlessly, "I just thought since they…."

"Yeah well, I understand."

"Well uh…bye then," I sighed, "Love you,"

AMU'S POV:

"Love you too,"

This sucks.

O.O.O.O

RIMA'S POV:

"He said…what!" I screamed still in my towel dripping from head to toe in Amu's doorway.

"Yeah, Nagihiko has no interest in you," Amu said in a strained voice.

"Amu the dude stops by, brings me lunch when I'm sick, and he blushes everytime I wink, and….and….HE SAID 'RIMA I…' THAT'S A CONFESSION!" I screamed.

"Rima calm down," Amu admonished me.

"S-Sorry but, it's obvious you know then why would he…."

"HE WANTED THE CHEERLEADERS TO WIN!" Amu shouted loudly, "That's why he helped you and your leg…."

"But he was worried about me! DID YOU SEE HIS FACE!"

"In a friendly way….look he and Ikuto discuss things like this,"

"Amu, it make sense that he…."

"HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!"

"What?" I asked.

"He does, in his old town…..maybe he likes you but….he really can't….he….has…..a…..girlfriend, Rima I am sorry."

"It's not true!"

"Then why would he lie to Ikuto? I heard him!"

Amu can't lie.

This is bad.

AMU'S POV:

This isn't good. If I didn't tell her then she wouldn't believe me but…. I can tell this is a bad idea. This is why I never lie!

No, that's another Lie.

I lie because I can't.

Now I don't lie because, it's NOT GOOD!

"He really…." Rima started crying and just ran out the room. I stood there looking at the door and sighed, I plopped down on my bed.

"Shit, what did I do?"

"I didn't know you could lie, sis," Ami hummed as she passed by my room.

Sometimes I feel like my life is a book. Each day is a different chapter, and right now people are reading about the drama between Rima and Nagihiko.

I have a feeling; Ami has seen the end of this book.

O.O.O.O

NAGIHIKO'S POV

"What….?" I stood there blinking after Ikuto, trying to take in what he had just told me.

"I said, she is in love with a guy, and she told Amu it wasn't you,"

W-What!

"Huh….but….what…wh-who….WHO IS HE!" I shouted angrily.

"Amu wouldn't say," Ikuto replied dryly.

"You're lying."

"Whatever, don't say I didn't tell you,"

I ran.

IKUTO'S POV:

Don't be mad at me, I was just avoiding him getting hurt by chasing after her when she hates him. It's better he thinks it's another guy….at least they can be friends this way.

Don't worry, things will be fine, I do this sort of thing all the time.

"It will…..right?" I whispered to myself.

"If it's meant to be," A voice behind me replied, I turned around and saw Nagihiko's mom.

"W..What?" I asked confused.

"Just wait and see, Tsukiyomi-kun," She smiled and wandered off.

I have a feeling she knows something.

O.O.O.O

NORMAL POV

[A/N: long time no see old friend….]

The night before Tokyo, our favorite teens couldn't sleep. The guilt was eating up Amu little by little, the pain was insufferable to Rima, Ikuto suffered from self doubt over his decision for the first time, and the so called truth burned Nagihiko.

Tears slowly dripped from Rima's eyes, she wanted to scream. At school, they merely avoided each other and Amu and Ikuto couldn't help but blame themselves for getting involved, they were both too scared to confess the truth.

Rima sighed, she had to do something about this, tomorrow is the day everything will go back to normal.

O.O.O.O

Short Chappie :)….You hate me now right… :P ?

Don't worry, MORE ON THE WAY! PEACE ;)
