High School Blues

Old Friend

Some weeks have passed and Ichigo was on her way to class when she seen this girl named Ami who she had been friends with a few years ago in middle school. They had parted ways when Ami left in 6th grade to go to another school. Ami had long jet black hair, which she kept in two neat ponytails, her bangs flowing over her forehead. She had a small mole near her lip and wore square black bold frames.

Ichigo walked over to her and tapped her shoulder. Ami turned around and smiled, "Hey Ichigo. It's nice to see you again. I didn't even know you went here."

"Yeah, I'm here. How have things been?"

"Great. Hey we should go have lunch together and finish this conversation later since the bell about to ring."

"Sure. I'll see you then."

Ami smiled as she twirled around and walked to her first period class. Ichigo turned around as well and went upstairs to go to French. The bell just rung when she stepped through the door. Mr. Suwikichi darted his eyes from the paper work on his desk to Ichigo's "lateness". "Ms. Momomiya, you are late. Sign the late book and take a seat."

"I wasn't late. I got here before the bell rung."

He raised his eyes and fixed his reading glasses. "Is that defiance?"

Ichigo sighed, knowing her battle with him was getting her in only deeper trouble. "No sir."

"Thank you, Ms. Momomiya."

Ichigo grumbled and grudgingly signed the late book, before taking her seat next to Kish. She waved a 'hi' and didn't speak. She didn't want to get in anymore trouble for nonsensical situations. Kish understood her silence and didn't bother her. Mr. Suwikichi began to talk and instruct the class on their objective for the day. After his instruction, the class began to get to work. They all pulled out their French books and joined in groups to begin their work. Ichigo and Kish decied to be in a group together and let Pudding and Tart be alone together. Kish flipped through his junky notebook and pulled out a few sheets of paper.

"Ha ha."

"What," Kish asked about to write his name on the crinkly college ruled paper.

"When do you clean that thing out?"

"Oh, never. I know where everything is at though, so I don't need to clean it out."

Ichigo simply smiled and shook her head. She also pulled out a purple pen and some paper and began to write her name.

"You wanna head out somewhere for lunch," Kish asked after scribbling his name on the paper and beginning to flip through his French book.

"I can't."

Kish raised his head up quickly and scrunched up his eye brows, "Why?"

"I'm meeting with an old friend today."

"Oh..." He sighed with grief and began to actually do his work.

Lunch finally came and Ichigo entered the cafeteria doors and looked around for Ami. Ichigo scanned the area and looked around every corner and there was still no Ami. She was about to walk out the back door that led out to the quad, when she seen Ami and Tart talking to each other near the concrete stairs. Ichigo stood there and waited for Ami to end her conversation with Tart. While she was spying, the two seemed to be in a heated conversation. Ami's arms were flailing around as she yelled and screamed at him. Then, when she was all out of steam, she folded her arms and was about to cry. Tart held her from behind and pulled her close. He muttered some words into her ear and kissed her neck. Ami was now happy and she turned around to give Tart a quick kiss and a big hug before making her way out of the quad.

Ichigo immediately panicked and found a place to sit so she coupld appear as if she didn't see anything. She sat there tapping her fingernails on the round cafeteria table in complete nervousness. She turned her head over her shoulder to see where Ami was and she was walking out of the door, looking around for Ichigo. Ichigo flung her head back around and still tapped her fingers on the table, the sound sounding like a stampede of horses. Soon, Ami touched her shoulder and Ichigo jumped out of her seat and screamed.

"You're still quirky as ever Ichigo," Ami laughed as she helped Ichigo up off the floor. "What got you so scared like that?"

"Oh, I was just...you know...so deep in thought that you scared the pants off of me."

"That must've been some deep thinking huh?"

"Yup."

"Well, let's head on out of here."

Ichigo nodded her head and followed Ami out of cafeteria and soon out of the school. On their way out the door, they decided to go to a near by fast food spot called Burgerini. On the way, Ichigo could'nt help but think as to what they Ami and Tart were talking about. I didn't even know they knew each other. Why was she about to cry? Did he tell her about Pudding? She gasped. Does Pudding even know about Ami? Or about Tart being Ami, kissng her and all that? What am I supposed to do? How am I going to tell her? I don't want to hurt her feelings with the bad news, but I don't want her to find out from the wrong person and still be heart broken. But even if she doesn't find out, I don't want her going about her day loving Tart, when Tart is Ami too. Ichigo sighed and dropped her head. I really don't know what to do.

Ami placed her hand onto Ichigo's shoulder and looked at her. "What's wrong Ichigo? You've been huffing and puffing and getting hyped up all day. Relax a little, I won't bite." They shared a laugh and the finally entered the Burgerini restaurant. They got in lne and when they reached the register, Ami ordered chicken tenders, fries, and a small drink. Ichigo got their signature junior burger called the Juniorini with small fries and small drink. They took a seat by the window. Ichigo began to nibble on her french fries and looked past Ami's head to look out the window. After witnessing what happened, she just was not all the way there. She wasjust in complete thought.

Ami broke her thought when she asked her a question. "How's everything been going since the last time we seen each other?"

"Oh, I've been great. Got a nice boyfriend and nice friends. I'm doing very well."

"And may I ask who the lucky man is," she asked with a smile as she took a bite of her chicken tender.

"Kish Totoyo. He goes here."

"Him?! Wow, that's so sweet. I can imagine you two being together. He's a nice guy."

"You know him?"

"Yeah, I got a couple of classes with him and his brother Tart. I guess you know him too."

"Yeah, of course I know him. Him and their older brother Pie."

"I've seen Pie a couple of time." She shook her and rolled her eyes. "He's a bit to icy for me. Sometimes he just seems so distant, you know?"

"Of course."

They sat in silence for a while to actually eat their food before it was time to leave. When they were done, they tossed their trash in the waste bin and exited. On their walk, they continued their conversation, Ami starting it off.

"So how is Mama and Papa?"

"Oh their doing great."

"They're still leaving you home alone?"

Ichigo gave her a look that gave Ami her answer and they both laughed. "They always leave me home. But I don't mind. I enjoy the peace and quiet sometimes."

"I wish I had all that space to myself sometimes."

"You want to trade?"

Ami giggled. "Sure."

They made it back to school five minutes before the lunch bell rang and seperated to go to their individual classes. Ichigo was headed towards Mr. Soyama's class when she seen Kish walking towards class as well. "Kish!!" Kish turned around and smiled when he seen that the voice that called his name was Ichigo's. Ichigo ran into his arms and Ksh lifted her up off the floor. "I missed you at lunch, Kish."

"Missed you too Kitten. But I'm glad you weren't there, they had a huge food fight. I wouldn't want you to get all dirty."

"Yeah, I'm glad I missed that."

Class had begun as Kish and Ichigo took their seats and took out their notebooks to write down some notes. But Ichigo didn't write anything. She was tapping her pencil eraser on her clean white paper, thinking of a way to let Pudding know about Tart and Ami. I really don't know what to do.

Kagasha: How was it? Was it good?

Kish: It was less me in this one.

Kagasha: It doesn't always have to be about you Kish.

Kish: In your world it does.
