Coincidence (WMatsui fanfic)
part 1
Jurina had always been the quiet type. She always calculated things around her before she talk or gave any opinion. She is also well known at her school for her looks, her straight A’s grades and her “tsundere” attitude. She doesn’t have a lot of friends because she, herself, put a barrier between all of them. She only had Mayu, who was her childhood friend. They knew each other since they attend the same elementary school and up till now. Students in their school also sometimes call them as the “Tsundere Duos”.

During class break, she and Mayu went out to their locker to keep away several books and took out new ones as a preparation for the next class. Jurina read some formula notes that she scribbled on a memo that was stick on her locker door beforehand. She squinted her eyes to read the notes, but it didn’t help, so she put on her glasses and try to read it once more.
“Why did you scribble it so small?” asked Mayu while closing her locker shut
“I don’t even know why….”
They make a quick dash to the girls washroom and as they headed back to their class, climbing up the stairs, Mayu almost bumped in with a girl dragging along her friend while running down the stairs. Jurina look back to take a good look at the girls who didn’t even bothered to apologize or say words like “Excuse Me” or “Sorry” to Mayu. But Mayu patted her shoulder to indicate they should really rush in back to class now.

Jurina cycled back home alone today since Mayu have a date with her girlfriend, Yukirin. Despite Mayu being tsundere and all, she’ll change 360 degrees when it comes to Yukirin. Jurina also witness how Mayu sometimes stuttered and get red in the face when she’s talking with or about Yukirin. Guess that’s what love can do to you. Jurina never experience any sort of things that Mayu had. She was curious on how it feels to fall in love, but she buried those curiosity down. She doesn’t want anyone to distract her aside from her studying. Jurina aimed to get a scholarship and enter a top university.
The weather was cool today and the wind blow softly making her cycle in a slow pace so she could feel the wind blowing on her face. The cherry blossom trees on each side of the path she’s cycling looks like it was about to bloom after a few days. Despite Jurina wanted to continue her studying in the city, she still have a heavy heart on thinking that she will left this beautiful Gunma prefecture where she was born and raised. But still, there is still much to see out there. She can’t afford to lose the chance if she has the opportunity.

“Tadaima…..”
“Okaeri……. Nee Ju-chan, How was your day at school?”
“Fine….” Jurina answered while pulling out a chair from the table and sat down. She picked up a bowl which was already prepared at the table with the food her mom just served. There were here favourite miso soup, natto, oden and a few pieces of sashimi served at the table.
“Mom are you going somewhere later?” It was a little unusual for her mom to come back from work this early and prepared food her.
“Nee Jurina, your dad and I have a reunion dinner later so I told my boss to let me go back early so I could prepare food for you beforehand” answered her mom.
“Oh…..” Jurina then continue and focus on the food.
“Your dad left some money for you on the fridge if you want to buy anything at the mart later..” Mrs Matsui pointed at the fridge.
“Hai..”

A certain kind of bell sound starts to chime as the clock struck at 9pm. Jurina’s stomach starts to growl a little, signaling that she needs to consume some snacks right now. Since she had an early dinner today, she’s bound to get hungry again. She puts down her pen and close her revision book. She changes from her pajamas to a navy blue sweater, pick up the single 1000 Yen note on the fridge and left the house.
It wasn’t so dark since the streetlights was arranged accordingly at each side of the road. Plus, this was a housing area and there would be several passerby’s here and there. Jurina walk to the nearest Mart not far from her house. She went to the food section and scanned some mouth watering food, here and there, she was about to reach out for a still-warm-looking-ready-made Bolognese spaghetti tightly sealed, when another hand reached out the same thing.
Jurina turned to look at the person. For a moment, she felt as if a huge stampede ran into her stomach and she frozed for a moment. The other person froze for a while too before she bowed her head a little and said, “Douzo…”
“Eh? Err…no its okay….y-you can have it.”
Jurina then bowed her head a little before walking off to the bread section. For some reason, she felt her heart pounding fast. A certain unfamiliar adrenaline rushes in, making her cheeks flushed. There were still other similar spaghetti packs, but for some reason, Jurina simply just choose to walk away and buy another type of food.
While Jurina was choosing different flavours of biscuits and stuff, she saw the girl at the counter tooking out some coins from her purse. Her black hair covered her face a little while she was rummaging her purse. Jurina isn’t the type of person who likes to stare openly without a cover, but she just did and before the girl went out from the shop, she accidentally saw Jurina who was obviously staring her. The girl smiled a little and left.

Jurina uncapped her coke and drink it while walking back home with a white plastic bag on her left hand. Thoughts of the girl earlier surged in her mind. That girl, Jurina knew who she was. She was in the same school as Jurina was since middle school. Except that the girl was a year older. That girl was the quiet type too back then in middle school, but when Jurina entered high school last year, that girl happened to be quite famous throughout boys and girls. Jurina remembered her name since they shared the same last name but what’s her……Ah,was it Rena? thought Jurina, something that starts with “R” I think.

The next day at school, Jurina parked her bicycle and went to one of the school benches where Mayu was already waiting for her.
“Ohayo!” Jurina poked Mayu on the shoulder which make her jump a little.
“Oii…ohayo.” Mayu replied back
“So how was your date yesterday? What did you guys do?”
Mayu started to get red in the ears, “Eat, talk and some stuff…”
Jurina’s eyebrows raised, “Some stuff? What stuff?”
Mayu went near to Jurina’s face and said, “Stuff that couples do.”
Tch. Mayu really likes to get on her nerves sometimes. They ended up talking about a certain anime which they both had a liking on. But their talk was suddenly interrupted when someone greeted them.
“Ohayo Jurina-san ! Ohayo Mayu-san!”
It was their 3rd Year senior, Churi and next to her was….Matsui Rena. Rena had her left arm encircled with Churi’s right arm, and she looked over them timidly. A small smile formed on her lips and if Jurina’s eyes were wrong, but she thinks she saw a small possible blush from Rena? Or was it the wind blowing making her cheeks pink? Jurina felt like her jaw muscles started to twitch signaling to her sense that she should smile back but she almost jump when Mayu nudged on her ribs a little.
“Greet them back,” Mayu said through gritted teeth.
“Ohayo!” they said in unison.
Churi and Rena smiled at them and walked ahead to the school compound. Jurina felt her breathing system not working that well. It’s as if she had just came back from running a few miles.
“What’s with you?”
Jurina turned to look at Mayu who was staring at her boringly. It felt as if her stare could pierce through one soul.
“W-What?”
“You’re stuttering.”
“Iya….it’s nothing.”
“Rena-san smiled at you just now. Didn’t knew you guys were close enough to exchange private smile.”
“Close? I haven’t exchange any conversation with her at all until last night!”
“Last night??” Mayu said in a surprise tone, “You met Rena, alone, last night??”
Oh great, thought Jurina, now she’s gonna have to explain the so-called conversation she had with Rena last night. But one thing kept bugging on her mind throughout that day. This is the first time those two seniors greeted them suddenly. Before this, well, maybe they did greeted them before, but this morning greeting…something seems to be off. Why is Churi in a giggly mode and why was Rena possibly be blushing about?[/size]
