Chapter 7:

Days goes

Memories with you


"ugh huh" 

I opened my eyes, the bright sun flashbanged me. 

I stood up, moving around my hand and legs, as if testing its motoric skills

I turned left and right, and sighed in relief as now, the insufferable headace is gone. Glancing at the calendar, it's now Sunday 

Changing to my shirt, i decided to head the living room

"heya! Romeo!" A manly voice called—It was dad 

"on with that again huh" I face-palmed hard, sighing along the way

"How 'bout prince charming! It's so much better!" Tsukasa said, sipping her cup of coffee 

"Jeez, what's wrong with you guys" i said, taking a seat on the sofa "Uh, why are you guys looking at me?" 

"Nope, nothing" Tsukasa replied, i swore i could see a smile lingering on her

"Uh, dad?" 

"Nah" he said, but somehow he materialized a big newspaper, i swore he hadn't have that on him a while ago—which just so perfectly covered his face

"Jeez, i can't understand him" i said, referring to dad 

"But now there's two" Yuki said, sitting beside me "Double trouble" 

"Your highness, i feel hurt" Tsukasa remarked, making a very(obvious) fake sobbing sound

"Juliet!! You hurt my soul!!" Dad said, i could imagine him, makin' an exagerated face. 

Yuki looked at me, i could guess what she felt

"Anyway," Yuki said, opening a book with the distinctive cover—'Memories with you' and said, "Do you have any plans today?" 

"Not really, maybe planning to go to the library or something" i said, taking out my cellphone 

Huh

I squinted my eyes in frustration, as the cell bar is still not working, even after weeks

"Finding a book to read?" she said "Maybe this book suits you" 

"That book?" I peeked in the book she's reading "What genre is it?" 

"Erm, it's kinda hard to explain" she said "It's romance during the start, but trailed to mystery, suspense, but also Psychological?"

"Isn't that normal?" i said "i mean, it could be a detective novel right? It sure does fit" 

"Umm Not just those three really, It's like they added all genre in to one story" she said "To be honest, it's kinda weird" 

"Hmm, okay—I might check it out" I said, as i heard the bang from the front door

I looked at both dad and Tsukasa, they seem to do the same

"I'll go" I said, standing up

Arriving at the door, i took a peep at the hole, there was two people standing

One was Fuka, and A girl who i remember—sat next to Yuki

I opened the door, in confusion 

"Uh, Can i help you guys?" 

"Oh! Yuka!" She said, looking a bit startled, but then returned normal "I was searching for Yuki actually" 

"Yeah?" Yuki said from behind me, as she approached "Mei?? Um, can i help you? Want to come in?"

"Yeah, sure" Mei said, entering our apartment as the pig tail on the side of her head flaped, hitting my arm which actually hurts "Anyway, see ya Yuka" 

I waved at her, trying my best to smile

"Now," I said, staring straight on at Fuka

"Okay" Fuka started, scratching the back of his head "I want to ask for a favor" 

"What is it?" 

Fuka slipped his glasses out—cleaning it with his shirt, as if trying to direct his attention "I need you to be my girlfriend" 

"huh?" I said, feeling puzzled "Is this a prank?" 

"No, i want you to be my fake girlfriend" he said, looking at me with a stone cold face "And it's not like i like you or something" 

"Okay, I decline" 

"What!?!" Fuka exclaimed "Why!!?!" 

"Its to ridiculous, besides i don't go that way" 

"Well Fair enough" he said, taking out his phone "Can i at least get Yuki number" 

"Uhh, You like her???" 

"No, i want to ask her the same thing" he said "Who knows if she accept" 

"Jeez, i don't know her number" i said

"What? You don't?"

"Never got my cellphone workin' " i said "So, its no use asking her" 

"Give me a sec" 

I handed him my flip-phone, which he proceeded to tore apart

"Okay..." i said, confused 

"Oh well" he said, handing me back after putting it back "I could fix it for you, but" 

"you want me to help you, fine" 

"Well then, lets go" 

"huh Today? Seriously??" I said

"Lets go, you agreed right?" he said, checking the time, as if on a constrain 

"Hmmm, oh well" 

***

I walked inside the cafe, the aroma of coffee, and buzzing music overwhelmed me

The cafe was small. Moving forward, i saw a person waving at us a black haired girl, with blue eyes reflected by the sun light 

"Hola! Nice to meet you!" The girl stood up, shaking my hand. She was shorter than i expected—She's probably in middle school "Yes! It's possible with his face!" 

"Well, do your magic" Fuka said, signaling me to sit beside her

"Nice to meet you" i said, as she is opening her suitcase sized makeup?? 

"Whats your name?" i asked, in awe at her very professional and modern looking makeup, lotion, and wigs

"Camila Inuzawa" she said "I just got back from overseas" 

"To visit your parents i suppose? You guys havin' a family reunion?" 

"Yep! Are you a psychic or something!" she said, starting with her makeup "You got it right!" 

Camila, started putting lotion on my face, which made my face oily

After a while she was done

"Yep! Now, for final touches" She grabbed through a selection of wigs, and handed it to me "I think these three will look good on you! Choose one!" 

"Huh," I looked through my options, it was placed next to eachother, starting from my left is the long black hair, white hair, and a short blonde hair "Hmm, i guess i'll go with the right" 

"Nice pick!" she said, as i put the wig on

"uh, how is it?" 

" " 

"uh?" i looked around, and saw Fuka looking at his me his eyes wide

"Awww!! So cute!" Camila said

"Oh, thanks!" I said, not knowing if its a compliment or not. 

I mean, i not a girl, so i don't know how to feel about this

"Anyway! Can i get a selfie???!" Camila said, eagirly taking out her phone like a puppy

"Sure" i said, as she took a snap of us "Thanks! You're so cute!!!" 

"Thanks?" i said, feeling deja vu

"We should go now" Fuka said, checking the time

"Oh sure" I said standing up, with the new attire i got my black shirt, with a white fluffy jacket, and unfortunately had to wear a skirt "Camila, You not joining us?" 

"Nope! I'm meeting my friends actually!" she said, picking up a call presumably from her friends

She signaled me to go, in which i complied

I followed Fuka, who walked in front of me to arrive at a parked car

The car was stylish red, the paint reflecting the sunlight like it was a mirror

Fuka opened the back door, and i followed him inside

The car was.... 

"Hey Mom" Fuka said, at her which was sitting at the driving seat

"Hola! Fuka!" She said "Owwh Is this what i think it is!??!" 

She turned herself to us, it was a silver white woman, with white hair and a very bright diamond blue eyes

"Yes, it is" Fuka said nonchalantly, while taking out his phone

He showed his phone to me, and a text showed, which said "Better not speak" 

"And, besides stop with the 'Hola', " 

"Aww, i just got back y'know" she said, smiling "No need to be so harsh!" 

The woman glanced at me, with a gaze that made my spine chill. 

The very smirky gaze, it made my breath labored

It made me remember the past i had tried to forget

But now, I turned my head left and right, hoping the memories won't come back

"Awww, so cute! Are you blushing!?!" She said, looking very excited like a puppy

Blushing? 

I feel my breath labored, and again the memories popped right to my head

I stopped myself,with my right hand i clenched my left wrist hard, digging it

Adjusting my breath, i was finally able to calm down, even though the somantic response hadn't given up

My face I realized were red hot, the emotions i was feeling. Is a nightmare indeed

*knock

A sound filled the car, as a pale, blackish haired blonde woman entered, on the front seat

"Whoops! Here she is!" Fuka mom said, as she push the pedal forward. 

"Morning," The girl said, she seems to not have noticed us

"Mm! Morning! You're as polite as always!" 

The girl, slid out her glasses, then with heavy breath she confronted us

"Morning" she said, "What's your name" 

Whoa

That felt more like a statement. Wait my name?? 

"Yuki" Fuka said, giving me his phone "She can't talk" 

Sorry Yuki! I thought, as the girl looked at me suspiciously, there's even a tint of anger

"Oh well, hello Yuki" she smiled, but her eyes didn't

I nodded in her statement, typing with Fuka's phone and showed it to her "Morning, What's your name?" 

"Shiroi" she said, passing a glance at Fuka

Fuka stared at the windows, totally admiring the desolate scenery of forest 

Shiroi squinted her eyes and stared at Fuka for an uncomfortably long amount of time

"Anyway," Fuka said, turning to me "Can take the phone?" 

I nod handing it, but then he dragged me, showing me a text saying "Bear with it, she's annoying" 

"Does this look beautiful?" Fuka said, 

I knew what he meant by the text, so with my acting skills—I decided to nod and also made a heart with my fingers on top of the phone screen

"Yeah, thats what i thought" he said, making the most fake smile i have ever seen

I tried to held my laughter, closing my mouth to hide the smirk forming

I took a glance at Shiroi, her eyebrow sunkdown, face tense, and breath coming out forcefully from her mouth—I swore i could see a comical steam coming out. 

"Whoop! We've arrived!" 

A cheery voice announced, thank god

I quickly exited the car, with Fuka doing the same

It was a big house, well to be percise it's a mansion

"Damn" I whispered to Fuka "Can i live here?" 

"Shut up" he said, "be careful" 

"Its only her right?" i said "I'm sure its no biggie" 

"Add that by 5"

"6? You serious??" 

"Yeah" Fuka sighed, as we entered the mansion 

"Wow, i envy you" 

"I could say the same" 

"huh? Whats that supposed to mean?" I said, looking around

The inside of it was, i must say grand

The room, was big i looked up to see a roof, but it ended up soaring up to the oblivion, with light passing through on the top—the roof pressumably made out of glass

The entrance room, as i called it had two stairs, in which was bent makin' a boomerang shape

And on top of it, a small platform with double door which stayed shut

"Whats that for?" i said, pointing at the two statue standing just below the small platform "They looked like knights, wait you're a noble??" 

"No, they probably bought it" he said his eye moving to the corner of his eye—at a group of young girls

"Is it what i think it is" 

"For sure" he said 

"Why would they bought it?" i said "It's kinda useless" 

"Can't say," he said, "but i'll remind you to be careful" 

"Jeez, this sucks" i said, feeling irritated "What? Why're you looking at me like that?" 

"Er, Nothing..." he said, looking away from me

"Hey hottie!" 

"huh?" I looked behind me and there it was, a silver haired girl—it's the one i saw in that group of girls

"Oh, it's you" Fuka said, his poker face unwavering 

"Owh, don't be like that! You know i love you so much!" She said, clinging to him "Do you wanna walk to the garden? It's a nice place to for us!" 

"No" 

"Hmph" She looked away like a disgruntled child, before a certain person stepped in beside me

"Awww, look at them" The woman said, it was Fuka's mom "They're cute right??" 

I nodded in approval, they really are cute together 

Fuka mom pulled me by my jacket, and gave me a very confusing look "Hmm, aren't you jealous?" 

I made an 'X' with my finger, she seems to understand what i meant

"Really?? Oh dang" she said, looking disappointed "Well, there goes my hope for a romance conflict..." 

I stood there in confusion, she somehow reminded me of Tsukasa, what's up with adults being a romance maniac

It's not like this is a romance show or somethin'

"Wow, I'm disappointed" Fuka said to me, the silver haired girl still clinging to him "stop clinging to me" 

"Why not?? It's not like you are taken" 

"Yes, i am" he said "Now, stop" 

"        " 

The big room now turned into silence, as if there's a revelation whuch shocked everyone 

I looked around, yep everyone's looking at us

Shit!
