"Hmmm... change in the course?"

Murmured Hinoe as her soft, round eyes scanned over the letter Ayumi had supposedly been given from the odd meeting at her soon to be college. As Hinoe read out the contents quite loudly so Ayumi could hear, since she could tell Ayumi had yet to read it. However, she noticed that her little sister was miles away, simply staring into endless space with one hand supporting her tilted chin. Her eyes were clouded and very distant, even as Hinoe waved her hand slowly in front of her, trying to get her attention.

The truth was Ayumi was far away, day dreaming bout one person. That's right, you guessed it, Yoshiki. She couldn't get over how much she had changed in a short few months, ever since she had met him. Sure there had been bad, awful things that had happened, though mostly on her fault rather then anyone else's actually. But there had mostly been good things, right?

Like the time they had coke in the park, or revising for Yoshiki's entrance exams together at his tiny yet quite cosy flat. He as a person had changed her so much, not just in her opinions of Satoshi, himself or even Naomi. Now she respected Naomi, was just friends with Satoshi, and maybe, she'd learn to return his rather obvious feelings towards her.

"Ayumi-chan? Ayuuuuumi-chan?" she repeated, getting a little irritated. "Are you even listening to me?"

"Of course..." she mumbled in reply, still not shifting from her dreamy position.

"What did I say then?"

"You don't have to act like me mum you know!" snapped Ayumi, suddenly turning back to attention with a slight glare. "Your not that much older then me..."

"That's no excuse, what did I say Ayumi?"

"You said that there was a change in course as well as stating several things about my status on the course." she bleated out as if she had been listening all along when of course, she hadn't been really paying attention much.

"Just because you heard me doesn't mean you were listening," sighed Hinoe as she she sat beside Ayumi, slightly creased letter still in her hand. "Now, there's just something I want to point out, Ayumi-chan."

"What is it?"

"You did get a place, didn't you?" Hinoe asked, eyes flickering back and forth from the paper to Ayumi's direction.

"Yeah, why?" Ayumi replied, wondering why on earth she was asking her that now. Surely she had a place, no, she had a place, or she would of never received the letter from the collage anyway.

"Oh, good. You never told me it was a scholarship though!" smiled Hinoe, getting up again as she had just heard the door bell go. Probably one of her clients coming to pick up a spiritual item or two.

"What? I didn't get a scholarship..." Ayumi exclaimed, with a frown. What was Hinoe talking about, had she made a mistake reading it or something?

"Sorry, I have a client out side Ayumi-chan, I won't be too long," dismissed Hinoe as she quickly departed from the kitchen. "Why don't you read the letter whilst I'm gone?"

With a swish of her hair Hinoe was out of sight, and Ayumi was left sitting at the table, her mouth opened wide with a puzzled expression, you could say. There was only one way to check that Hinoe's words were true, she had to read the letter.

Most of it was boring stuff like how the course was changing slightly, and although Ayumi did read through it, none of it was particularly significant to her, or at least nothing that would effect her future or anything. As her eyes skimmed through the rest of the page, she noticed the profile box situated in the bottom left corner. It had a picture of her on it, as well as her full name and birthdate. Also it had her contact details on it, as would any standard profile form. It stated what course she was taking, her conformed tutor, and the type of place she had.

Her eyes lit up at the word she read next, her heart beating faster than ever.

Place: Scholarship

She couldn't believe it. Her, a scholarship? Really? But it was clear on her results that she had just gotten a regular place, and they wouldn't of just changed their minds like that, would they? A hundred scenarios' popped up in her mind, going from they accidentally put she had gotten a scholarship, or she had the wrong letter. The latter was unlikely, as all the contact info was up to date and correct. Maybe she was truly the owner of the scholarship! Ayumi was over the moon, but of course, just as always, there was the gnawing feeling of doubt at the bottom at her heard.

Rushing up to her room, she made a dive for the spot she would always put her phone ready, but found her hands closing around something spiky and cracked. Of course, how could she forget, she threw it out of the window the other day.

Her heart sang; she honestly began to regret her stubborn actions. Now she had no way at all to contact Yoshiki, Mayu, Sakura or any of her other friends or social networks. She realised how much that sucked now.

"Oh well...I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow at school huh..."

"Hey, Mochida-kun!"

"Hi Shinozaki, are you okay?"

"I'm good. Hello Naomi..."

"Morning, class rep!"

"Don't for get Seiko!"

"No one would forget you, you're so freaking loud!"

"Don't be so harsh Shige!"

The group of friends were gathered together outside the main hall, smiling through the chilly breeze thank whipped around their cheeks. It was finally seeming to feel normal again, all of them hanging out together again, all friends again, with not one hint of hatred, though there were a few awkward moments between Ayumi and Naomi. However Seiko, Satoshi and Mayu were light hearted enough to brush it off quickly and cheer everyone up again. Ayumi was so relieved, as she was so close to losing them, and really didn't want to, plus they had reminded her how they were so great. They made her feel good about herself, just like true friends should. And Mayu, Morishige, Seiko, Satoshi and Naomi were all proving to be great to her.

And as for Yoshiki...

"Oh, look there's Kishinuma-kun!" called out Mayu as she spotted the bleach blonde boy emerging from a crowd of blushing fan girls who he seemed to have not really noticed, or at least not have paid attention to. He was wearing the standard uniform, but instead of having his black jacket buttoned up to the top, it was completely undone, with a white shirt similar to Satoshi's also undone slightly at the top. Ayumi could tell he hadn't made much of a effort to get ready, but all the same she had to admit he looked extremely fit. Now wonder all those girls were surrounding him.

"Hey," he greeted them, though his eyes were on Ayumi, making her blush.

"Hi man," grinned Satoshi, slapping his hand. "It's so great that you got in mate!"

"Thanks," he smiled, but Ayumi didn't dare look back up at him as she was sure he was still looking at her. "It's nice to meet you, er, probably."

"Hi, I'm Seiko!" yelled Seiko, rushing in front of Ayumi. "And this is my best friend Naomi, the most beautiful- mhmmmm!"

"Uh, I'm Naomi," butted in Naomi with a hand over her crazy best friends moth, grimacing. "Naomi Nakashima."

"Oh your Naomi..."

"Huh?"

"Oh nothing!"

"I'm Suzomoto Mayu, but you can call me Mayu of course. This is Shige!" Mayu introduced with a cute smile.

"Morishige Sakutaro, actually," muttered Morishige, but he wasn't really heard as Naomi was still restraining Seiko.

"My names Yoshiki Kishinuma, and that's about it..." he said with a wink. "Of course you don't need to introduce yourself to me, Shinozaki," he continued, giving her a special small smile.

"Uh..."

"Was that the bell?"

"SEIKO, GET OFF ME YOU- ACK!"

"This is chaotic isn't?" mused Yoshiki. "Just the way I like it..."

WOOHOO
