It's Complicated

Chapter 1

Amu's P.O.V

"What is this again?" I say as a look down at my "meal".

"It's breakfast.", was the nonchalant reply that came from my best friend.

I grimace as I look over the food again.

"And, it's safe to eat, right?"

Rima starts glaring, but she still answers, "Yep."

I should know by now that it's not smart to make Rima mad, but this stuff is just disgusting. So, I say, "Are you sure? 'Cause it looks like someone already ate it and puked it back up."

"It was your turn to make breakfast today, but you didn't. So, you're eating this." ,she says as she starts eating her cereal.

I frown and look at my other friend, who is eating the same thing as Rima. "How come you and Utau are eating Captain Crunch while I'm eating barf?"

Utau answers this one, "Because you didn't make breakfast." She says as though it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"What?"

"You never cook when it's your turn to cook. You either order out or "forget" that it's your turn." , Rima begins. "Until you start being more responsible, you're eating whatever crap we make for you."

I have to admit, this is a pretty good tactic they came up with. "But I really do forget sometimes. And you guys like take out." I whine.

"Not all the time." Utau says while frowning.

"Well," I begin, but Rima cuts me off.

"Just eat your French toast."

I look back down at my plate with wide eyes. "On what planet is this French toast?!"

The 'French toast' was gooey, slimy, and a greenish color. That is most definitely not how French toast should look. Making someone eat this slop is just a cruel and unusual thing to do.

"Eat it." Rima says while glaring. Utau has a smirk on her face.

These two are evil. Why did I ever think it would be fun for all of us to live together? We're all too much alike, but I guess that's why we're such good friends. When we're together, things always get a little crazy.

"What's stopping me from throwing this away, and just making my own food?" I ask with a smirk of my own.

"Oh, so now you wanna cook?" Utau says with an amused look on her face. "What's stopping you is the fact that you can't take both of us in a fight at the same time."

I know she's serious because they've pinned me down before , only that was to force some disgusting medicine down my throat when I had the flu.

They better believe I'm going to get my revenge for this. I reluctantly grab my fork and pick up a piece of the barf. I was really about to eat it, until my cell phone rang.

"Oh thank god!" I yell and run to my phone on the couch. I pick it up and look at my two pouting friends; they're obviously disappointed that I didn't get to eat that slop that would've most likely killed me. Seriously, they are evil.

I roll my eyes and answer my phone, "Hello?"

"Good morning Amu-chi!" I flinch at the ringing in my head from that loud screech.

"Good morning Yaya." Yaya is another friend of mine. Albeit a bit annoying, she really is the sweetest person you could ever meet. She actually lived with me, Rima, and Utau for a while, but she moved out because she couldn't handle living with us 'psychos'. Her words, not mine.

Yaya lives with my younger sister, Ami, now. Ami is a year younger than I am, making her 18, and she acts pretty similar to Yaya. But she's a little more mature than Yaya is. When Ami graduated from high school last year, she decided to take college classes online, and get an apartment close to mine.

Now, I offered our spare bedroom to her, the one that was now vacant after Yaya moved out, but, after hearing Yaya's stories about how 'crazy' my roommates and I are, she decided it would be 'safer' to get an apartment with Yaya.

Yaya's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "Sorry, I kinda zoned out. What'd you say?"

She laughs, "I said, do you guys want to come over for breakfast?"

I silently thank god again, "We would love to eat breakfast with you guys. We'll be over in five minutes." I say with a smirk.

Apparently the two blond demons heard because they both glare in my direction. I hang up my phone and smile at them as I put my shoes and coat on. "Awe, and I was really looking forward to that french toast." I say sarcastically as I head towards the door.

I turn back towards them. "Are you two coming? Yaya's making breakfast."

"You guys are nuts!" Ami laughs after I told her and Yaya about what had happened this morning.

"No, they're nuts. They tried to poison me." I say as I eat some more bacon.

Utau rolls her eyes. "We did not. We were trying to teach you a lesson, but Yaya ruined it."

Rima nods her head, "Yeah, thanks a lot Yaya."

"How was I supposed to know you guys were trying to teach Amu a lesson?!" Yaya tries to defend herself. "Isn't it a bit too early for you three to start your shenanigans?"

"What do you mean 'you three'? Again, they were the ones who tried to poison me!"

Ami starts laughing again, "Well sis, if you stopped being so lazy people wouldn't try to poison you."

I shrug and continue eating my pancakes.

Rima smirks at me, "Yeah, and maybe she'd have a boyfriend. Someone like Ikuto."

Everyone starts laughing as I glare at her. "I told you to never say that name in my presence!"

Yaya grins, "But you two would make such a cute couple!"

I cover my ears, "Shut up shut up shut up!" I hate it when they do this. For the life of me, I just cannot understand why these people think me and that jerk would be a good couple.

"Ikuto is the most annoying, meanest, aggravating, insensitive idiot I have ever met in my entire young life, no offense Utau." I say.

She laughs, "None taken."

Ikuto is Utau's brother, and I hate him. Okay, so I don't really hate him, but we do not get along. We've had a sort of love-hate relationship, minus the love, since we first met when we were younger. Our parents were friends, so naturally they would make their kids hang out with each other.

I seriously don't know why we irritate each other so much, we just do. Everyone thought that by now we would be more mature and act more civil towards each other, but the only thing that changed is that instead of arguing every few minutes, we just pretend the other isn't there.

Well, I guess that is being civil, for us anyway.

I look at Yaya and Ami's Christmas tree. "That looks really cool." I say, trying to change the subject.

Their tree actually does look pretty cool. They have it decorated with a lot of stuff: candy canes, popcorn, tinsel, glitter, lights, and a lot more crap that probably took them hours to put up.

Yaya smiles, "Thanks! Did you guys put your tree up yet?"

Rima shakes her head, "We were actually going to do it tonight."

Ami's face lights up, "Can we help! Please please please!" she begs.

Utau laughs, "Sure"

"Yay!" Ami and Yaya chorus.

I roll my eyes and sip at my milk. When I finish my pancake I look at the table that is filled with food. Yaya always goes all out when she cooks. My eyes stop on a stack of sweet bread. I take one off the plate and turn to Utau and Rima.

"Hey. This is what French toast should look like." I say before taking a bite.

I hope you guys liked that. I thought it was pretty fun to write.

Next chapter preview:

"Yaya don't eat those!"

"Why?" she responds frowning.

"They've been In my parents shed for years!" I say.

"So what?" Rima says, "They're candy canes, they don't expire."

"Do to!"

"Do not it's candy! How long do you think candy in the store sits on the shelves?!"

Our argument is interrupted by the sound of Yaya repeatedly screaming "ew". Apparently, she ate the candy cane. I smirk and go back to eating my pie.

Point for me.
