Modern girl chapter 7

FIIIIIINNNNNNNAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY

I HOPE YOUR HAPPY!

Love Ya 3

Ayumi was bright red, practically fuming as she stalked down the corridor, hatred in her usually so calm, clear and focused sapphire blue eyes. She couldn't ignore the hushed whispers and giggles coming from the other girls at the lockers, she would always catch a 'Shinozaki' or 'bitch' somewhere in the mix. No doubt about it, her and Naomi's supposed 'Cat Fight' (which in her oppinion never even happened) had spread all across the high school, maybe even reaching the ears of the teacher. Oh gosh, Ayumi thought worriedly to herself, that would be so awful! Her reputation would be stained with gossips...

But they would also know she fancied Satoshi! She had planned to tell him some day but not now and definitely not in that way! Ayumi was already imagining worst case scenarios' of Satoshi finding out and avoiding her forever! Ugh, how terrible would that be!

Trying to cool off, she entered the lunch hall, her head held high as people pointed and laughed at her. They were nothing to her, absolutely nothing at all! She spotted Seiko and Naomi in line for chips, a smug look on the latter face. That really confirmed her suspicions now; it had to be Naomi! Still frustrated she slipped into the middle of the salad queue next to Mayu who was happily chatting to a friend from drama club she had known for a while.

"Hi Suzomoto!" Ayumi chirped, like nothing was wrong.

"Uh, hey Shinozaki, you alright?" Mayu replied, a hint to concern in her usual cheerful tone.

"Of course," Ayumi chattered. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Mayu searched Ayumi's expression for a sign that she knew about the gossip behind her back. However the small girl was well practiced hiding her feelings from others, and swore by the words, 'fake it till you make it'.

"Erm well...people have been saying stuff behind..."

"I know," Ayumi cut her off unexpectedly. "I'm trying not to let Nakashima get to me."

"Huh?" Mayu said, scooping some salad onto her plate. "What made you think Nakashima-san did it?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Ayumi explained, a bitter tone in her voice. "She doesn't like me because Satoshi's nice to me. She's just jealous!"

"I can't see why she is jealous..." mused Mayu, a small crease appearing in her forehead. "After all she does go-"

"Mayu!"

Morishige was waving next to the till's as Mayu paid for her food, smiling shyly at her from under his glasses.

"Shig-nii!" she called, rushing over to him. She looked behind her shoulder and smiled apologetically for the sudden stop to their conversation. Ayumi just shrugged and walked over to the table where Satoshi and Seiko were sitting; Naomi was still in line. No one spoke as she sat down opposite them but just exchanged mixed glances with each other, not making contact with the blue haired girl.

"Hi guys..." she mumbled as Naomi appeared behind her.

"Shinozaki." Acknowledged Seiko dully, waving at Naomi from far away. "Hi."

An awkward silence settled amongst them, making Satoshi out of all people feel very uncomfortable. Yes, he was aware of the alleged rumours spread but believed that neither Ayumi or Naomi had started them, and hadn't even mentioned it at all. Naomi sat next to Seiko, turning to whisper something that made her giggle. Ayumi just stared at her plate of now decidedly unappitising salad, hoping that at least some body else would pay attention to her existence.

"So," chirped up Satoshi, trying to lighten the mood. "How was your day Naomi, your quite...quiet."

Ayumi snorted but quickly covered it up with a forced cough, making Naomi's eyes narrow in her direction with suspicion. Quiet? Yeah right, though Ayumi, she couldn't help balbbing nonsense through that stupid mouth of hers.

"Good actually, thanks for asking though!"

"What about you Shinohara?"

"Im great I guess..."

"Shinozaki?"

As soon as Satoshi mentioned her name Seiko rolled her eyes as if it was some inside joke she had and Naomi put a smug smile on her lips.

"Actually," Ayumi replied with slight hesitation. "It hasn't been that great today?"
"Oh really whats up?"

"Well someone," she said, putting great emphasis on the second word. "Spread false rumours about me all across the school."

"Oh really?" Naomi suddenly questioned, looking if anything, a little concerned. "I haven't heard them! Are you okay?"

Ayumi felt strange with Naomi's sudden change in attitude. Hadn't she been the one spreading the rumours in the first place? Maybe she was just faking it to look good in front of Satoshi! Yes, that was probably true.

"Rumors are nothing," dismissed Seiko with a chuckle. "People just want to stir something up because their jealous or have something against you!"

"Yeah," Ayumi said, locking eyes pointedly with Satoshi. "Their just jealous..."

If Ayumi caught her gesture, she didn't say anything, but turned a bit mute and didn't bother to add much more to the conversation. It was when Ayumi was about to leave the lunch hall when she over heard a conversation between Naomi and Seiko was they all poured into the corridor.

"Geez, you were a bit quiet back there!"

"Really? Or were you just extra loud?"

"Haha! Blame it on me then, thats just fine!"

The rest of it she had to strain to hear, but the expert eavsdropper managed to pick up some words, although a little blurry.

"I think...of your..."

"Seiko!" ...confession...go...with...!"

"...Shame,...liked...too!"

"Rumors...Suzomoto...she?"

"I Heard so...loved...couple!"

"Haha,...Shinozaki doesn't...me!"

"Too bad!"

That was all that she heard, but to her it definitely sounded an awful lot like gossip. They had mentioned both her and Mayu, for some reason, which made her really doubt Naomi had been truely sympathetic with her earlier. It was, as she had expected, just a cover up. But then again their was still what Mayu was about to tell her; did that have anything to do with the whole thing? She doubted that highly since Mayu didn't like conflict and rarely ever gossiped. Seiko and Naomi on the other hand...Well, she still had some digging to do.

The rest of the day flew by, with Ayumi having the same old lessons, which mind you, she did enjoy, and finally the end of school bell went and the pupils were free to go home. Ayumi decided it best not to walk with the rest of the gang, even though Seiko had offered, it would be for the best in case they were going to start another conflict. Instead she told them Hinoe was picking her up to go and buy some spiritual items, so Seiko just laughed, rolling her eyes and telling her she needed to 'get real' but didn't mock her. Seiko was more of a teaser; she never took things too seriously which was one of her best qualities by far even if she was opposite to Ayumi's.

She was just about to walk through the gates and out, when she spotted a tall blonde boy with a black guitar case slung over his shoulder, leaning up against a large tree with a careless grin on his face. As soon as he caught sight to her, he waved, and started walking towards her. Several girls pointed and gazed at him, rushing off in little groups, all blushing and giggling furiously. Ayumi as per normal, ignored them and greeted him with a small smile as they fell into step together.

"Why did you come here?" she asked, pushing through a trio of talkative girls who were staring lovingly at the back of Yoshiki's head.

"I wanted to check out the school..."

"Yeah right!"

"Sheesh...I Obviously came here to see you! No signs of your friends, huh?" Yoshiki admitted, his hands moving to his pockets as several girls swooned several feet away from him.

"I kind of thought i might see you here," she bluffed casually. What a nightmare it would of been if he had seen how she acted around Satoshi, he would surely see she crushed on him, and maybe even Satoshi would think she was his girlfriend! Groan!

"I could of met them though!" he said with a slight frown. "After all, they are going to me my classmates soon."

"That depends on your exam, when is it?"

"Two days..."

"Alright then, Mr Kishinuma, tell me, just how many math sessions you've done.!"

"Um, well..." he raked a hand through his hair as they turned the corner. "None."

Ayumi let out an exasperated sigh.

"Oh well...I suppose your writing...skills might get you through."

"Im hoping!"

The two walked side by side all the way to Ayumi's house, which was right on the other side of town but Yoshiki didn't seemed to be bothered. After all it was a lovely day, and he treasured Ayumi's company over anything else at the moment, so if she felt the same way it would be...well, just perfect!

"Erm, Shinozaki..." he said nervously as they turned down her road. "Theres been something i've been meaning to tell you for a while now, I know we haven't known each other long-"

"I've got a question too, but you can go first."

"No, you go on ahead!"

"No Yosh, you go first you asked me first!"

"Did you just call me Yosh?" he asked, bemused. Ayumi blushed as his grin became puzzled and she practically felt her heart skip a beat as he looked straight into her eyes. Oh no, she thought, this couldn't be happening...But she couldn't ignore it much longer, the feeling that had been confusing her ever since she had met the mysterious musical boy. She had a crush on Yoshiki Kishinuma, big style, and had only realised right now.

"I...I.."

He was fully gazing at her now, admiration in his eyes as he looked at her innocent blush. It was kind of obvious now that she returned his open affections, even maybe just a little bit. The brisk breeze blew leaves around their ankles in the silent moment, making Ayumi practically breathless in his presence. What was he going to do now?"

"Your funny, Shinozaki." he whispered, kissing her slowly on the forehead. "But thats why i like you."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I really need a Yoshiki :3

If you find one please leave him in the review section. Thanks. xx
