hi there!!! If I'm just editing/re-posting Broken Destiny here... well, I've taken some extra effort to REWRITE my old fic The Link... and I know some of you already read this. The story itself didn't change... just the way I wrote it.. So yeah.. I hope you like the version 2 of this fic. Douzo. :D
Chapter 1: The 13th Floor
November 13, Saturday
A girl was leaning against the mirror of the dance studio, panting really hard. She wiped a stream of sweat that fell freely on her beautiful face before placing some of her blonde hair behind her ears. She just finished her ‘perfecting’ her dance routine. She didn’t really need to practice that hard because she’s a fast learner but her desire to dance was really great; that her body can’t stop moving once the music was being played through the speakers. Her comrades already left her an hour ago but she decided to stay and dance privately for a while.
She lost track of the time and before she knew it, it’s barely closing time. She quickly put all of her things inside her bag and ran towards the elevator. She pushed the button to send her towards the ground floor. She closed her eyes as she waited for the door to automatically close itself. She felt it moving but towards the opposite direction. She watched in silence as the numbers on the panel increased… 10…11… 12… 13. And then, it stopped.
The girl panicked inwardly. There’s not supposed to be a thirteenth floor on this building. There’s not even a ‘13’ button on the pad, but the lighted panel showed otherwise. The door of the elevator opened and revealed an empty floor, much like the basement where the cars were parked. The only difference was that, this floor was desolate, dusty, and was only illuminated by the lights outside. The girl pushed the close button but that didn’t work. She tried pushing the ground button but the elevator remained still, as if it’s already broken. She moved a little forward to take a peek at the place. She saw that there’s a wooden door at the far end. The girl gave up on pushing the close button of the elevator and thought about going toward the said door and reasoned that every building has its ‘emergency exit’.
The girl stepped out and walked towards the door when about halfway through, the elevator door suddenly closed. She didn’t have the time to react and run back towards it. The girl just continued walking towards the door. She turned the handle and took a glance at the other side.. Much to her dismay, it wasn’t the exit that she’s searching for but she found the only room in the said floor. She opened the door wider to let some of the light from the outside enter. And she then found a sign of hope.
Inside the room, there’s a radio transceiver on top of a dusty table near one corner. She just needed to ‘phone’ someone about her current situation and soon enough, she’ll be back on the right floor. She removed some dusts by blowing hard on the machine. She searched for the switch and turned it on. The machine emitted static noises and she was happy that it still worked. She grabbed the speakers and wished that someone will hear her.
“Hello? Can somebody hear me?” The girl removed her finger on the button near the handset but all she can hear was more static sounds. She was about to talk again when..
“uhh… H..hello?”

:OMG: The starting sound sooooo much like a horror movie... I always have a thing about lifts..........
Is that Reina or Maki.. i remembered reading something before on them talking on the phone from the intercom of the lift but that different time zone.. hmmmmm....
:mon bat:
-
OOohh, I always liked horror stories. I have a feeling this one is gonna be really exciting. Why didn't you tell us who the character was in the first chapter though? I don't wanna be kept in suspence :P

@lil_hamz-Ahahaha..yeah... about that... I forgot to describe the girl!!! Anyways... You'll get a 'glimpse' of her on the 3rd chappie. :D
@kRisZ- You should... because this one's better... and I guess... shorter...XD
@~Psychotic~o_o~ -yeah...creepy... you better not read this if you're constantly using lifts. :P
So I'll not let you wait any longer...Here's the next chapter... well... it took me long to post this one because I had to research somethings to make it a little bit realistic. Enjoy~!
Chapter 2: Inside the Building
“Uh…hello?”
“Where are you?!”
“I’m already running… I can’t talk to you right now.”
“You didn’t answer my question.. WHERE EXACTLY ARE YOU?”
“I’m already at the Akabanebashi Oedo station.. I’m running towards the building now. Are you happy?”
“Well, run faster! Nakazawa-san will get mad at you!”
“That’s what I’m doing right now. Hey, it isn’t my fault if I’m late. This is sudden! I’ll hang-up now so I can run faster, ok?” The girl put her phone back to her bag and continued running towards the exit of the station. She lowered her hat as she waited for the light to turn green. She can’t afford to let the other people see who she really was even though it’s already dark. Not that she was being rude or something. She just can’t afford to be late as she already was. If these people saw her, they might ask for an autograph from her. At last, the light turned green and she again started running towards the tall building where idols like her, worked.
She grabbed her phone and called the person who called her earlier. They suddenly had an emergency meeting about their sports festival tomorrow at Tokyo Stadium. She’s already sleeping when her manager called her to go back to the Up-Front building. She forgot to ask for the room so she had choice but to call on the person who’s already at the said venue.
“Hey Sayu… uhh… what room is that?”
“Room 4 11 on the 14th floor. Are you already inside the building?”
“Yeah, I’m running towards the elevator now. Uhh… wait… Technically, that’s the 13th floor right? Because right after the 12th floor, the next one’s called the 14th floor right?”
“Reina, why bother with that? You’re already late!”
“Yeah, yeah.. Just thinking out loud. Be there in two minutes!” Reina closed her phone and went inside an empty elevator. She pushed the 14th floor button and rested her back on the wall to catch her breath. She looked at panel and waited for the right floor to stop.
“Why do almost all of the buildings remove the 13th floor? Why do grownups believe in such things?
The elevator shook a little and then as it stopped moving, the lights went dead. A couple of seconds later, the emergency lamp opened.
“What the… I’m ALREADY LATE!!!! Why does this thing has to happen?!”
Reina pushed the buttons but its not functioning. She pounded on the door and hope that someone might hear it from the other side. As she hit it, her vision moved up and noticed the panel that tells the floor. Reina moved away from the door as she saw the number on the panel.
“No way! 13th floor?! How come?!?”
She bombarded her own mind with many questions regarding this unimaginable event. But her mind completely went blank as the door opened without her consent, or rather, it opened by itself. Reina blindly searched for her phone inside her bag and re-dialed her last call. She tried calling everyone in her group but it seemed that the 13th floor is a dead zone for cell phones.
“Ok, Reina… think. This is a tall building. Buildings always have fire exits! Now, go out there and look for it. Just think that this is a funny joke being played on you.. Hey, maybe that’s it! Maybe there are hidden cameras outside. You better not show that you’re scared!
Reina used her phone to light her way for the night lights from the building beside them wasn’t enough. She was just a few steps away when she heard the elevator door closing. She ran back but didn’t make it in time before it closed. Reina tried to push the button several times but it seemed that it’s not working. She leaned her back on the door and look at the darkness in front of her.
“Great! Now what? The girls will come to me in monster costumes? Halloween’s over! Why are they doing this to me?!”
Reina just continued to walk even though she’s afraid. She’s not really good with scary stuffs. She hummed their latest single to counter the silent atmosphere, more likely, to counter the ‘things’ that she’s starting to imagine right now.
“Don’t look back! Nothing’s following you. It’s just your shoes. Just your shoes Reina. No big deal. Gaaah~!! It’s just your shadows… your mind’s just messing up with you! Think happy thoughts! Tomorrow, it’s the sports festival… you have to contribute to the team. Think of a nice plan… EEHHH~!!! Hang in there… it’s really cold because it’s already night.. and besides, this building has centralized air conditioning. Yeah, that’s it…. Namida tomaranai wa~ Anata…. The fire exit!”
Reina dashed towards the ‘only’ door on that floor. When she yanked it open, she was dismayed as it revealed a room; a dusty room with a table at one corner. Her heart skipped a beat when the machine on top emitted static noises. She went closer towards it and noticed that it’s a transceiver. She forgot the model but her granpa owned one like this. She was about to take the receiver to call for help when the static stopped and was replaced by a girl’s voice.
“Hello? Can somebody hear me?” Reina was glad that there was an opportunity to be saved now. She put the receiver near her mouth and replied to the girl’s call.
“Uhh, H… hello?

LOL~ yes... cause it's always the lift and 13th floor~~ then there will be green mist around.... some water sound.... cold wind.... * :on freeze:
I think it had been a long time since i read the other one...so it's kinda all blur now~ plus i wasn't a member still~ so now i can comment! XD
:mon bat:
-
*letting go of the breathe she's been holding*
So is this happening in alternate universe or both girls are unlucky enough to be stuck on the 13th floor which "doesn't exist" at the (coincidentally) same exact time? Who is the girl in the first chapter? Since she's a blonde, I'm guessing Yossie? But she could also be Britney Spears j/k :P

well, all I can say is.. they are on the same universe... and I deliberately didn't tell who the girl was... I'll just give hints on the next chapter. But it's DEFINITELY NOT britney.XD
Chapter 3: Connection
“Woah… so this thing still works… Uh… hi?”
“Hi… so… uhh…” Reina didn’t know how to start. She was in the ‘worst’ possible kind of pinch that a human can ever dream of and this was her chance to get herself off that situation. But if she told the other girl on the line about the floor she was in, she may freak out. She decided to take it slow when the other girl asked her something.
“Hey, do you know whether this transceiver can be used to, you know, call other people? Uhmm, like ambulance, fire fighters… police?”
“Uhh, yeah? Well, you must find the correct channel, just like in TV’s. There’s a certain wavelength for the police, ambulance or fire fighters.”
“Oh, is that so?” Reina heard the girl let out a sigh. “Thanks for that information.”
“Sure, no problem.”
“Man… Why haven’t I thought about it before? I can find some help!” Reina looked at the transceiver but her anticipation was put to a stop when she noticed that the knob used for turning the frequencies was missing. It was Reina’s turn to let out a sigh.
“What’s your name?”
“I beg your pardon?” Reina heard the girl asked for her name but she was purposely stalling it. Would she give her REAL name? It’s almost been a year since she became a member of Morning Musume. There’s nothing in their contract that says it’s not good to make friends with ‘ordinary’ people but still, she didn’t know who this girl was.
“Well, I just want to know your name. I just had this feeling that I know you or something.”
“I’m Ren….. Call me Ren-chan.”
“Hi there Ren-chan! Mines…” It took the other girl sometime for her reply. “Hey, are you still there?” Reina asked. There’s something behind the girl’s voice. It’s as if she heard it somewhere before.
“Uhh, yeah. I was distracted by something. My name’s Toma… Call me Toma-chan. I’m 14 by the way.”
“14? That means I’m a year older than you. I just turned 15, two days ago.”
“Really? Belated happy birthday then!” Reina smiled. It felt so nice being greeted by somebody. She always felt really happy whenever her fans will greet her but this Toma person; Reina really felt like she knew her before.
“Thanks. You know. It feels like I know you…Your voice. It sounds familiar..” Reina heard the other girl cough.
“Really? A lot of my friends are telling me that. My friends told me that the timbre of my voice is the same as most of the Japanese girl. You know… the...uhhh.. well, I forgot what my music teacher said about that.”
“What school are you going? Maybe you’re my schoolmate!” Reina dusted a part of the table with her handkerchief and sat on top of it as she waited for Toma’s answer.
“Hinode Girls Gakuen.”
“Ohh… not my school. I’ve never heard of that school. I’m from Fukouka.”
“Hinode? Hmmm, why do I feel like I’ve heard it before.”
“Woah. That’s pretty… far. I can’t blame you if you didn’t know that school. It’s just a normal school here in Tokyo. Not like Meiji or Waseda.”
“Wait, the last two were universities…Ehhh!!! Wait!!! You’re here in Tokyo too?!” Reina exclaimed. Somehow, her interest towards the other person was heightened.”
“Too? I thought that you’re from Fukouka?”
“Well, I’m here in Tokyo because… of my group. Well, uhh, you see… I’m training to become an idol.”
<i> “Well, I’m already an idol. I’m just taking precautions.”</i>
“Idol? Dancing and singing thing?”
“Yeah… that’s it! I want to be like my idol Maki Goto. Do you know her? Morning Musume?” At this, Reina heard the other girl coughed really hard. “Hey, are you alright? What happened?”
“Uhh, nothing. Got something on my throat. Aherm… yeah, I know her. 3rd generation right? She’s… uh… good.”
“She’s not good… She’s really cool! Do I sense that you don’t like her?” Reina asked. She thought that Toma’s voice was somewhat quivering, like she was unsure of what she was saying.
“Uhhh.. It’s just that. Well, I’m more into Ayumi Hamasaki. Hehehe… is she really cool?”
‘Duh? She’s the coolest Morning Musume ever! That’s why I auditioned…. For this group. And then when I get better, I’ll audition for Morning Musume.”
“Crap! I almost slipped there.”
“Really, she’s that cool? I didn’t know…”
“You should listen to Morning Musume! She’s really cool. Her fashion, her aura… everything! I can’t get it into words. Just see for yourself.” Reina smiled to herself. If Toma will listen to Morning Musume, it’ll be just a little time before she would guess who she really was. Her voice was a dead giveaway.
“Ok. I’ll listen to them. You sounded like a wota there.”
“Well, you could say that I’m a huge fan… but not definitely wota. There’s a big difference.” The two of them laughed. Reina decided to move up a level since she felt like no one’s going to save her for a while. She’s really scared of ghosts and her current situation was making her petrified if not for this transceiver and Toma. It somehow made her forget the creepy atmosphere in the 13th floor. They continued their ‘question and answer’ mode.
“So Toma-chan, what are your hobbies? Mines karaoke, playing volleyball… uhhh, what else… oh right, making friends laugh!”
“Making friends laugh? That’s a weird hobby. Hmm, my hobbies? Well, it’s cooking.. watching movies and collecting polaroids. You know, got to preserve good memories. So, what foods do you like? I like ice cream… and yoghurt.”
“Desserts? Ahahaha, mine’s yakiniku. I’m a carnivore person so I like meat.” Reina suddenly became silent. She didn’t ask yet as to why Toma-chan was in calling in the first place. “Uhh, Toma-chan… why did you call in the first place? And why ask about whether you can call the ambulance or police?” Again, Reina noticed the other girl took her time in responding to her questions.
“Well, you see. I was practicing really hard, we have a…uhh, dance contest for tomorrow so I stayed behind. And then, uhhh…. Well, I decided to, you know, look around the vicinity of the studio and found an old room… with this dusty transceiver.”
“Ahhh, so that’s your story… But why ask about the firefighters and police?”
“Hmmm, about that… well, I always see transceivers used for that purposes in the movies so yeah. I asked whether you know how to contact them too.” Reina wanted to ask her more about it and also, ask whether she can watch her group’s performance tomorrow when suddenly, the elevator returned.
“Hey, Ren-chan. It’s really late now. I’ll let you take your rest now. But I really hope we can talk with each other again.”
“Me? Rest? You’re the one who’s being a workaholic. YOU should rest now. Don’t worry, I really like talking with you so…” Reina made a mental note, tomorrow, she’ll bring a flashlight in case she’ll encounter this ‘magical’ floor on the Up-Front Building. “I’ll wait for you.”
“Ok.. I’ll go now, Ja~!”
“Take care!” As soon as the girl’s voice was replaced by static sounds, she dashed towards the elevator before it decided to leave her again. She got in Reina was thankful that it went upwards towards her ‘real’ floor. Reina took a deep breath. She didn’t know how she will explain to the girls the ‘real’ reason as to why she’s late. She was still thinking when the elevator opened, she was surprised when the girls, headed by the H!P leader, was standing in front of the elevator.
“Tanaka-san!” Nakazawa’s angry voice sent chills on her spine.
“Gomen… I didn’t mean to be late.”
“LATE? You’re not late.” Reina decided to look at Nakazawa’s fierce eyes. “You’re absent! The meetings already finished.!”
“Oh?”
“Woah… I’m gone for almost an hour? Weird… I guess I enjoyed talking to her that I didn’t notice the time.” The girls went inside the elevator and Nakazawa pushed the ground button.
“You’re on my Team… Aqua Stars. Here’s your uniform. Don’t be late tomorrow.” Reina took her uniform from their leader. Reina looked at the panel, hoping that they will pass the 13th floor on their way down but, after the 14th floor, the panel showed the 12th floor next.
“Was that a dream? Am I just dreaming while I’m awake? It seems impossible but… I know she exists. Gaaah! I forgot to ask where her competition is!!! I want to watch her. But then again, we have our sports festival. I can’t possibly go even though I know where it is.”
……………………….
It’s been two days since Reina hadn’t been on the UFA building. Their sports festival was really fun… and tiring so the next day, all of them had a day-off. She was excited as she pressed the 14th floor. She checked her bag whether she didn’t forget to bring her flashlight today. Even if it’s almost noon, that floor didn’t have any installed lights. Her excitement grew as she neared the floor.
11….
12….
14….
DING
Reina blinked her eyes. She pressed the close button and pushed 12. The elevator brought her to the 12th floor. She pressed the 14 for the last time, but it ended on the right floor. Reina walked out of the elevator and ran towards the fire exit. She was anticipating for a conversation with her new friend that’s why to avoid being late, she decided to go to her work an hour early. She ran down the flight of stairs but the next door lead her back to the 12th floor. Reina traced her steps back and stopped mid-way of the 14th and 12th floors. Reina couldn’t believe her eyes. There’s no door.
“No way! How will I be able to talk with her again?”

Yes..XD
so for you guys..here's the next update...XD
Chapter 4
Reina walked towards the elevator. It’s been almost a week since that ‘weird’ encounter but it didn’t occurred again though she’s using the same elevator more than five times a day. Reina was afraid of horror houses and ghosts but she’s definitely looking forward to be in the non-existing 13th floor again. She’s about to push the button when.
“BOO!”
“AHHHH!!!” Reina turned back and saw her ‘rival’ laughing at her prank.
“So, did I scare you?”
“Goto-san! Geez…. And for your information, you didn’t scare me.. you surprised me. That’s different.”
“The effects are the same for me. That was really funny.” Reina shook her head. She’s really happy that she made it into Morning Musume even if she needed to audition twice.
“Hey, I really like your latest single. The story line’s great.”
“Hahaha. Well, I still think it’s somewhat cheesy… and familiar. How many songs with a ‘I don’t want to be a friend but a lover’ genre have been on the airwaves before?” Maki answered while tilting her head a little to the left and crossing her arms across her chest at the same time. Reina blinked at her.
“Uhhh… well… ok, there are many songs with that theme…but if it came from you, it should be good.” Reina muttered the last sentence while turning back towards the elevator.
“What are you mumbling there?”
“Nothing, we’ll just be late if we don’t go in there now.” It’s almost been a year since she joined Morning Musume and still, she ‘idolizes’ the girl beside her. The two went inside the elevator. Maki pushed the 16th floor while Reina, the 14th floor. The little yankii suddenly remembered the ‘out-of-this-world’ floor incident.
“Hey, do you believe that some ‘weird’ things can happen… inside the elevator?” Reina saw Maki thought deeply before smiling at her.
“Yeah… weird like last Saturday night… the day before our Sports Festival. My manager called me for a meeting.” Reina looked at the older girl, that was the day that she was trapped in that 13th floor.
“And then when that elevator door opened, I saw Nakazawa-san and Kei-san kissing. Weird right? I thought it’s more of Yagu-chan and Kei-san.” Reina’s wonky eyes grew wider. That was not the thing that she’s expecting to hear. Reina noticed the other girl was waving her hands in front of her. “Hey, are you alright? I guess, that’s too much information for your innocent mind.”
“Ahh, NO!!! No.. really.. No… I’m fine with it.. It’s just I thought you were going to say something else.”
“And what is it?” Maki asked but before Reina opened her mouth to answer, the elevator door opened on her floor.
“Ahh, it’s nothing. Just… just… ahhh… nothing..ahahaha. Well, gotta go! Have a nice day!” Reina quickly moved out of the elevator and ran towards the studio. She looked back and waved at Maki before the door fully closed.
“What was I thinking?! She’ll probably think that I’m just hallucinating things… or worse… She might think that I’m a lunatic! Was I just dreaming?” Reina slowed down as she thought of the incident. Given that she was already asleep when her manager called her for that meeting, if she was dreaming, then all that happened that night; from going out of her house and then coming back home to sleep, was not real. Reina suddenly realized something, if it’s just a dream, then why did she have the Aqua Stars uniform where ‘Nakazawa’ was the one who gave it to her in her so-called dream. She thought of another ‘theory’. She was really sleepy and she fell asleep inside the elevator… for an hour! Her second theory was even more impossible to happen. For an hour, she was inside the elevator and no one else came inside and woke her up. If it’s not working, then someone would say it to her; that she was trapped in the elevator. But that didn’t happen. It was like she was taken to another dimension. Reina was taken aback when a hand was waving in front of her face.
“Hey, do you know that you are spacing just right now.” Reina blinked at the ‘turtle’ in front of her that somehow appeared out of nowhere in the midst of her spacing out.
“Ha? Am I? Ahahaha, Well, I’m just thinking about something. You don’t have to worry about me Eri.”
“Well, that must be really deep because you didn’t notice that someone mailed you.” Eri pointed at Reina’s bag. Reina opened it and quickly searched for her phone. She flipped it open and smiled when she read the sender’s name.
“Care to join me at lunch today? I’ll be waiting at the cafeteria.” Reina typed her reply and pressed the send button, her grin was still showing at her face. She started walking while linking her hand on Eri’s.
“Who was that? You seemed really happy that you’re even trembling a bit.”
“I just can’t wait for lunch today!” Reina then faced her friend. “I’m going to eat lunch with my idol!”
“Who’s your idol?” The two rokkies were somehow startled at the voice. They looked back and saw the ‘bunny’ hopping towards their direction.
“You know… her rival.” Eri stressed the last word to give a hint. The three of them were really close, being in the same generation and after all, it’s an open secret that she idolizes the former 3rd generation member. Sayu just smirked as she changed the subject on how cute her newly bought pants were.
Ever since Reina replied to that simple mail by joining her to lunch, Maki and her became closer. There was not a single day that there’s no simple mail from Maki to her or vice versa. It was like mailing her has become a habit for almost two months, an important routine of Reina’s daily life. So one night, after a dance practice when Yoshizawa asked the group to eat dinner at a restaurant and Reina forgot her phone at the meeting room, she just HAD to go back and get it.
“Geez, of all the things that I could have forgotten… She’s gonna worry about me.. It’s already late.” Reina grumbled to herself as she pushed the button of the elevator many times; the elevator incident totally forgotten. As soon as the door opened she walked inside and quickly pushed the 7th floor button where their meeting room was located. She glared at the panel while tapping her right foot on the floor as a sign of irritation at the ‘seemingly’ slow machine. She moved closer to the door as her floor approaches but it didn’t stop. Her eyes grew wide with shock and then quickly changed back to her ‘glaring’ eyes at the panel.
“Oi you elevator! Stop now!!! Or you don’t want me to kill the person who pushed the button before me!” She was about to punch the door when the elevator stopped moving and realized that she’s on the mysterious floor again.
-
Uwahhhhhhhhhh!!! Reina's gonna be stuck at the 13th floor again, isn't she?! :shocked
Oh whats gonna happen? :panic:
-
I've read this before!!
Can't remember the whole story exactly, so I'm guessing Tomachan is or .. was Gocchin back when she was 14?
-
Woah...It's been a while since I updated this one...
@stefy- all I can say is.. B.I.N.G.O.!!!XD
Chapter 5
Reina was immovable for a couple of seconds. She wasn’t expecting this to happen… again. When her senses came back, she remembered a bunny pen light that Sayu gave her and Eri.
“Haha! I’m still prepared for this! I brought my pen light! Reina squatted and opened her purse to search for the said item. She turned over her purse to remove the items all at once and tried to find her pen amidst the low lighting of that place.
“What the hell!!! Where did I put that damn thing?!” Reina sighed and put back all the things that she removed from her purse. She stood up and walked towards the direction of the room where the transceiver can be found. She picked up the object and tried finding the right ‘signal’ for the other person in her mind.
“Did I move this before? I can’t remember… She’s the one who called, I just answered her. Oh well, I’ll just play around with this knob.”

“BINGO!!!! Hahaha!” Reina then grabbed the receiver to ‘call’ someone.
“Hello? Toma-chan this is me, Reina….argghhh… REIKA-chan… are you there?” She almost smacked herself for letting her real name slip out of her tongue. She sighed in relief when no one answered.
“That’s a close one. I can’t let her know about my real identity… yet.” She repeatedly called her ‘transceiver friend’ but the desired reply didn’t come. She put the receiver back and walked towards the door to check whether the elevator was already there, but the moment she put her hand on the door knob, someone’s voice came out from the transceiver.
“Hello? Reika? Are you still there?” Reina could hear the other’s heavy breathing
“Hey there Toma-chan? What’s up? Are you in a hurry?”
“No.. I …just… run as soon as I heard your voice. How are you? It’s been already two months.”
“Hmmm. Good, I guess. And you?”
“Good too.” Silence followed. Reina was planning on how to ask her to meet her. She wanted to tell her friend who she really was, in person. She took a deep breath and readied herself but…
“Hey, Reika-chan, are you free on the 19th?”
“It’s Ishikawa-san’s birthday.”
“I’m sorry but it’s my friend’s birthday that time. Why did you ask?”
“Well, I just want to see you personally. I can’t get you off my mind. You seem like an interesting person to me.” Reina smiled to no one in particular. They both feel the same towards each other.
“Well, I’m free on the 15th. How about you?”
“Hmm, ok. I think I can do something with my schedule.. Let’s meet up in the Shiba park. That way, it’ll be a lot easier for me to see you. Is that alright with you?” Reina smiled. Shiba park was just near the Up-Front Building.
“Sure, no problem. I’ll meet up with you no matter what happens!” As soon as Reina said those words, she heard the elevator door opened.
“Ok, let’s meet up after lunch… Around 1pm. I better go now. Nice talking with you again. See you soon!”
“See you!” With that Reina quickly left the room and run towards the elevator. The elevator moved up and ended at the 14th floor where their dance studio was. She was pretty excited about the meet-up that she was grinning widely.
“What would Toma-chan look like? I’m a year older than her… Are we of the same height or not? Hmm… ARGHH!!
Reina bumped into someone as she went out of the elevator. As she looked up, her smile was quickly replaced by a glare. It didn’t last for a second when she quickly replaced it with a shocked expression.
“Woah, did I just see 3 emotions in a span of a second?”
“Go… Goto-san?!? What…why?”
“Hey, I told you you can call me Gocchin. And I’m here because, you forgot your phone in the studio. Be glad that I’m the one who found it. So here it is, and let’s go back to the restaurant.”
“Ehhh? What?”
“Oh yeah, they are still waiting for me. I almost forgot about it.”
“Yossie invited me too.. SO let’s go!” Reina didn’t hesitate when Maki pushed her back inside the elevator.
