Hola! exam season is coming up and i'm doing my highers! (I have no idea what it is in other countries but im in my second last year of school and they are the things i need to get into university with so ACK) But yeah DIFFICULT TIMES AHEAD I kinda just hopped off my bed because I was procrastinating by reading a fanfiction and thought "well at least writing fanfiction is kinda like studying for exams?" So here I am! Ta da!

I flipped through the phone book, scanning for any trace of Ian, I honestly couldn't remember for the life of me what his number was.

What the hell are you even planning on saying? "Eyyy Ian, it's your ex girlfriend, come to the lavish party my super rich friends are throwing"

I was sat in my room, wearing grey jogging trousers, an old blue t-shirt with curious stains on it, and my hair had been swept up into a ponytail. A rare sight. And I had been scanning facebook and phonebooks and twitter for hours, hoping for some sort of sign, any sign, of Ian. I wanted to avoid calling my old friends from my old school, Ian and I ended badly, but what went down with my friends was catastrophic.

I hadn't picked any dresses, I picked out one that I thought I loved, then about half an hour later it was back in the wardrobe, never to be seen again. I groaned in frustration. How hard is it to find someone these days? it's the internet!

I stood up, pacing around my room and biting my lip anxiously. There was really no need for me to contact him, we had broken up. But for some reason, the way it all ended still hung over my head. And Kaoru.

oh god, Kaoru

Who knows what we are, I certainly don't.

Suddenly, my phone lit up from the other side of the room, tinkly, generic phone music cutting through the silence. I glanced over at the caller ID, which read: Glasses.

ughhhhh

I rolled my eyes and switched it to speakerphone, "What is it Kyoya?" I grunted, I wasn't exactly interested in hearing what he has to say, I wasn't in a mood with him, I just didn't like him.

"Miss Nakamura, no need for such a disdainful tone." The smooth, robot voice said "I was only calling to offer you a useful service"

"what would that be then?" I asked, fully bracing myself for whatever Kyoya was going to offer, because I could almost guarantee that it would be about as useful to me as a bag of potatoes in a fight against a rabid carnivore.

"I was simply looking through my database, and I came across your ex boyfriends phone number, if you wish to have it still?" Kyoya asked, an air of haha bitch i'm the best in his voice.

"sorry, how did you know I needed it?" I asked

"Oh Chiyaki, you are very easy to read my dear."

"shut up you conde-"

"would you like the number?" Kyoya said bluntly

I hesitated, i hated being in people's debt, I hated owing people things, but most importantly, I hated owing Kyoya things. And he would definitely want something in return for the number.

"What's the catch?" I asked, suspiciously, I started walking around my room, now holding the phone to my ear, not wanting my parents to think I was entering some sort of strange blackmail cult.

"Nothing really, but it will be nice to hold this wonderful favour that I did for you over your head for a while" he said

oh you could hear the goddamn satisfaction in his voice.

"...fine." I mumbled

"what was that?"

"I said. fine." I grunted, I was not playing his little games, I was tired and more than ready to just hang up and get this hellish call over and done with.

"Okay Chiyaki" he said, not losing one ounce of the condescending tone, "do you have a pen? I won't repeat it"

Ian.

I must have sat on my floor, staring at that piece of paper for about an hour, ok maybe like five minutes but it felt pretty long, I just couldn't believe it was there, I could call him up right now and that would be the start.

The start of what? Chiyaki don't be a moron.

I could feel my palms go all clammy, I was so so so nervous. Ian had meant a lot to me, and we would basically be strangers now.

Kaoru.

I knew I liked Kaoru, I felt it deep in my gut, it was like something was twisting inside me everytime I see him, all I want to do is make him laugh, make him think I am the best person ever, that I am far more special than any dream girl. I want that because Kaoru is better than any dream boy I could possibly fathom, he makes me laugh, we argue all the time, and when i'm around him, I feel like I am a better version of myself, one that I want to be all the time.

But I can't be with him until I pick up this goddamn phone and tell Ian how I feel, that he had no right to be upset by how much my parents earn, he should have stayed with me, he should have seen me for who I was, he should have at least come up with a better goddamn reason to let me go.

Our breakup was not my fault. It was his.

And it's time to let him know.

I almost punched the numbers into my phone, suddenly I was filled with this urgency, this need to yell at him, a need to end it once and for all. So I can go back to being happy and start my love live over.

The dial tone scared me

sweat crawling down my back.

What would I say?

How do I start?

How do I begin to describe how little Ian made me feel when he dumped me due to my wealth?

"Hello?" a fuzzy, male voice asked

I had no idea what to say.

I took a deep breath. "Hello, Ian." I said, calmly. Show him how strong you are.

You are a dragon.

"excuse me?" the voice asked, sounding confused

I hesitated, "Ian?" I asked

"Um, my name is Seiji, do you want to order something?" the voice replied

"what?"

"do you want to order something?"

"what do you mean?"

"um" Seiji replied "This is pizza hut."

I hung up and threw my phone across the room, it landed on a pillow.

I cannot. believe. it.

I am going to kill Kyoya.

Sorry it's short lads, I'll probably update sometime next week (hahahahahahaha says the biggest procrastinator ever) but I really should get back to learning quotes, I'm working on "The Changeling" (which is very good) "All My Sons" (Also great) and in drama i'm working on "The Crucible" (which I detest with every inch of my soul) and yeah I also have history, maths and french. FML. I wish you all good luck in your studies and your exams! make sure you get 9 hours of sleep (which i know is tough to do what with school and studies and whatnot) and drink loads of water and study in short wee bursts :)

ALSO I REALISED I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FANFICTION SINCE 2013 HOW CRAZY?! AND I SAW THAT NEARLY 11,000 PEOPLE HAVE READ IT HOW AWESOME?! I LOVE YOU ALL?! Seriously thanks to all the cool kids reading from the start or have just picked it up recently, thank you so so soooo much!
