THEY DID, M'KAY?

i just hate writing them because they make me cringe. I like reading them, just not writing about them, does anyone know where I'm coming from. THE FEELS ;-;

I've had some requests for more focus on Yoshiki but this is called 'Modern Girl' maybe some day i'll write 'Modern Boy'

hahahahaaaaaa NO. But I have had a request for a Mayu x Morishige based story, which is an idea, but...

To: Ayumi From: Sakura..?

Hey Shinozaki, did you get that letter that talked about the meeting today? You know, for the start of collage thingy? Text me later xx

Ayumi was practically buzzing. Her sadness and frustration had evaporated into thin air like water, and had been replaced by a type of gushing wonder, not even Hinoe could find the reason for. Of course the fact that blonde boy had been around recently did cross her mind, but Ayumi had never had a boyfriend before, and avoided men in general, so Hinoe knew that she couldn't be to sure or accusative.

Not that she had a problem with that, no, not at all, Ayumi just might find her nosey if she looked like she intended to pry on her personal life. Instead Hinoe did what she did best, kept herself to herself, leaving Ayumi for she didn't wan't to change the mood she was in in any way. Ayumi was getting ready for school, her cheeks flushed and her mood bright. She still had a twinge of dread in the pit of her stomach, but just the thought of Yoshiki joining her school...

Shaking her head, she pulled up her socks and slipped on her shoes before making for downstairs, her school bag swinging on her shoulder. She wasn't sure how she was going to face the others today, however the abuse from the networks had eradicated quickly over the last few hours, and there were no more messages from 'unknown sender' which was a relief. At least she could walk around again with out the feeling that someone was watching her every move, even stalking her perhaps. Just the memory of the creepiness made her shiver!

"Do you want breakfast, Ayumi-chan?" Asked Hinoe, who was making herself some in the kitchen.

"Nah, I'm okay," replied Ayumi from the hallway. She rarely even ate breakfast anyway, and today wasn't an acceptation. In fact she rarely ate much at all, for she didn't need much energy to power her slight figure.

"Alright...Are you sure you okay to go to school today, since you were ill yesterday, right?" called a slightly worried Hinoe.

"Geez, stop fussing!" Ayumi brushed off with a shaky laugh. "I'm not a kid anymore! There's only six weeks till the end of term, and then i'll be off to collage!"

"Speaking about your collage, I got a letter for you!" mentioned Hinoe, her voice muffled by the fumbling of paper. "Come and read it before you go!"

"Oh," said Ayumi, rushing up to accept it. "It looks like theres a meeting, at least thats what the letter seems to say..."

"Is it tomorrow? You'll have to get the train straight after school then." Hinoe told her, grabbing a note from the draw.

"Thanks," she accepted the money gratefully. "I'll be fine, and home by, say 5 ish?"

"All right then. I think mother an father are cooking tonight, so don't be late!"

"Yes, yes, whatever."

Ayumi put the money and letter in her bag before opening the door, realising that it was actually raining.

"Aww man, i'm gonna need an umbrella!" she talked to herself, subsequently grabbing one form the coat stand in the hall. Sighing, she opened it up, watching as the crystal clear rain drops splattered slowly against the strong material of her umbrella, which was in fact blue with cherry blossom print around the edges. It was quite pretty; Mayu had given it for her birthday last year, so Ayumi had treasured it like she did with all gifts, no matter who from!

When she reached school, she was 20 minutes early, as usual, and there weren't many people around at that early time so she would mostly spend it studying alone. However she didn't feel like studying, furthermore she didn't actually have anything to study, for she did every piece of work as soon as she got it, and sometimes even a couple of days in advance.

But there was a good manga series she was reading at the moment, titled Corpse Party, or something along those lines. She felt like she could really relate to some of the characters, especially the secondary protagonist. So, deciding there was nothing else to do, Ayumi proceeded to the study room anyway to read in peace, before the hordes of students flooded through the corridors for a regular day at school.

As she entered the room, she saw someone she really didn't expect to be there. Her head was leant over an excursus book, a look of concentration on her tanned face. As Ayumi walked by, she couldn't help making eye contact with her, getting a neutral response out of the girl, no coldness in her eyes, or warmth at all. She paused as if she wanted to say something, but turned her head away, thinking the better of it. Ayumi stood there, awkwardly hovering over her, as if stuck in time, until Naomi couldn't stand it much longer.

"What do you want Shinozaki?" she asked tiredly though not looking up from her book. "if you've come to accuse me of something else, I don't want to hear it!"

"Um actually...did you really say that nasty stuff about me on Facebook?" she blurted before she could stop herself.

"Of course not," Naomi scoffed defensively, looking up to face her with honest eyes. "You know that! Even Satoshi told you, our accounts were hacked!"

"So it's true," Ayumi concluded, letting out a sigh of relief. "I'm so, so sorry."

"I forgive you," smiled Naomi easily, for she hated having fights with friends. "But you need to apologies to everyone else first."

"I know," agreed Ayumi, sitting own opposite her, slowly. "But first I want to ask you something."

"Sure, go ahead."

"Since it's not you...or Mochida, Shinohara or any of our friends, do you have any clue who has been doing it then?" she asked plainly.

"Huh," mumbled Naomi, raising Naomi. "I can't think of anyone who hates you so badly to me so mean, no one in this school hates you Ayumi."

"Maybe it's someone out side of school?"

"Perhaps? Maybe one of you college friends?" suggested Naomi, but her idea was rejected quickly with a shake of Ayumi's dismissive head.

"I don't know that that well enough, for any of them to be my good friends or my enemies," she said. "But I am going to a meeting after school to do with college."

"Oh yeah?" mused Naomi. "What for?"

"It didn't specify..."

Ayumi found herself wondering that for herself. Perhaps it was to do with the course, as certain aspects were known to change before said. Lost in her thoughts, Ayumi turned to her book, losing herself deeper in the horror mystery, and enthralling plot line. Time seemed to fly by as the two girls read, none of them breaking the peaceful silence that had fallen across the room.

It wasn't long before the bell had gone, and life erupted back into the room and corridors, and Naomi left for maths, where as Ayumi turned the other direction, for she was in a lower set then Naomi for maths, with Mayu and Satoshi. Morishige was in the top set with Naomi, and Seiko, although creative and bright, was in the bottom set but to be honest, she didn't really care about the compulsory academics, she much preferred fun subjects, and for some reason unknown to most people, sports over all.

As she walked briskly towards her classroom, she couldn't help wondering why she had hated Naomi so much. Obviously there had been the whole thing with Satoshi, but Ayumi was finding the flaws in her crush, especially with the unexpected start with Yoshiki. She blushed just remembering the kiss, and wondered if any of her friends would approve of Yoshiki. He was a delinquent after all, rough and careless, but Ayumi had definitely seen the best side of him, what with his protective air and kindness, it was as if he was a completely different person all together!

"Hey Suzomoto, Mochida," she greeted them cheerily, trying to look earnest, but their expressions were skeptical and uncertain.

"Hi.." Satoshi managed to reply out of politeness. Ayumi took a deep breath. Apologizing had been difficult with Naomi, as she had to swallow a lot of her pride in order to do so, but Satoshi and Mayu were different. For many months Ayumi had considered Satoshi her perfect match, so had always made sure she looked perfect around him, and was nice at all possible costs. As for Mayu, she considered her closer friend out of her Naomi and Seiko, for they were inseparable best friends, and was always kind to her.

"Look, i'm sorry, I was stressed and mislead when I accused you...Things just haven't been going well recently," she admitted, getting the attention of both of them.

"I can see that," Mayu said instantly. "Did you find out who actually said that stuff about you, and framed us?"

"No..."

"Don't worry about it, Shinozaki, I'm sure it will be ok..." reassured Satoshi, though personally, he had no idea who had done it as he was certain that neither him, Naomi or Seiko had done it and was pretty sure that Mayu and Morishige had nothing to do with it either.

"Thanks," she replied, though a little stiffly. "There hasn't been anything more so I think i'm okay..."

"Good." mumbled Mayu, wrapped up in her own world, daydreaming about Morishige, scripts and drama club.

"We'll have your back, no matter what!" decided Satoshi, patting her friendily on the back, before following Mayu inside to the classroom.

Usually Satoshi's friendly gestures would make her blush red and fill with pleasure, but now there was nothing. It was just a kind gesture between friends...

I'm sorry it took her that long to realise. I'm just basing it of her character, KAY?

And remember it's not goodbye;

Its see you later

(your pretty darn awesome)
