Its been such a longggggggg time since I post a fic. I think it was a year (?) Im not sure if people knew what I ff I wrote before :lol: By the way, Ive been having like 6 drafts on my folder. And I think its time for me to unleash
the kraken a new fic. Put aside all the graduation sadness and please read this fic :D Please comment and point out my flaws. Ill keep it quite short for chapter 1.
She was never needed. Neither in her so called family, she was looked up as a burden in their eyes. Both of her parents died in a car crash when she was 9. Her aunt’s family was all that is left for her and they despise her from the moment she stepped in their doorsteps. Although both of her maternal parents left her a sum of wealth, somehow, all those things end up under the palms of her aunt. She remembered those fake kindness and sympathy that her aunt enacted while the lawyer told them about her. Eventhough she was young, she knew all those sympathy were just an act, since her mother doesn’t have a good relationship with her aunt.
After years and years past, Jurina wasn’t treated as a daughter, not that she expected to, she was more like a servant. One night, her aunt fought in a huge argument with her uncle and the last thing Jurina saw was her uncle slamming the door and never came back. Jurina was a little happy that her uncle left for good though. On certain days when her aunt worked overtime at night, her uncle would bring in unknown women in the house and Jurina knew he was up to no good.
But the downfall to her uncle’s departure is that her aunt grew more financially broke. The amount of wealth left from Jurina’s maternal parents couldn’t support the payment for their two-storey house and they were force to move out and moved into a small rented apartment. Her aunt refused to pay for her enrolment in high school and told her it’s a waste of money to spend for a good-for-nothing like her. So Jurina was left with no option but to work multiple part time jobs. Luckily, those wages she received could support her school bills and she was more than happier to continue with her part time work rather staying in the mouldy apartment.
In school, she was always the quieter ones and preferred to stay at the back and the corner of the class. She chose to be unsociable rather than mingle with things that don’t pick her interests. Not that she hasn’t had any interests in anything whatsoever. But students in her class don’t deserve to be friends with a total good-for-nothing like her. There were a group of people who tried to be friends and converse with her, but all of them grew tired at the unresponsive her. But later on, someone eventually managed to change this side of her.
=
Like any other loner, Jurina would always come to the rooftop for lunch alone. Sometimes she would just sit on the cement floor or lay down while staring at the blue sky above, without eating. Since her aunt never gave a single penny to her, she decided to cut back the use of her money and save it for more important things later.
On that particular day, Jurina was a little exhausted since she worked overtime and did midnight delivery. She was a little drowsy during class and she quickly rushed towards the rooftop during lunch for a short 25minutes nap as she set her phone alarm clock.
But that day, Jurina’s short nap was interrupted. She felt someone lingering near her side and Jurina opens her eye to find a black hair girl sitting next to her, reading a book. From Jurina’s perspective, even by her side features, the girl was overwhelmingly beautiful. The girl still remains unnoticed on Jurina’s consciousness, but only make an “Oh” sound when she saw Jurina sat up from her laying position.
“You’re awake,” said the girl, sounding delighted.
Jurina wasn’t really that amused by the girl’s presence, but she couldn’t help feeling a little strange on this girl sudden existence by her side.
“Oh, you must be wondering why I’m here, right?” assumed the girl with a knowing smile, “Well, the cafeteria seems to be packed and I don’t feel like reading in class. So I came here instead. And I found you.” Jurina just scrunched her eyebrows at the information and stood up, ready to leave the place.
“E-Eh? Where you’re going?” questioned the girl
“Somewhere else,” replied Jurina in a husky tone, since she didn’t talked with anyone for a while today. Jurina doesn’t really feel like giving the cold shoulders towards the pretty girl, but then, she also doesn’t feel like associating with anyone too.
As Jurina walked towards the door led towards the staircase, she heard the girl spoke aloud from behind, “I’m Matsui Rena. Nice to meet you.” Jurina paused her steps for a moment at the small introduction and gave a small nod before dashing off the stairs. On her way down, her mind couldn’t help but to think of the girl and their appallingly same surname.
Jurina fished out the keys from her school blazer pockets and unlocked the door to the shabby apartment. The stale smell of alcohol fills the tiny living room. It seems that her aunt had been drinking again for the up tenth time. The small coffee table was a mess with bills and papers. Jurina heaved a heavy sigh at the jumble and proceed to her small scruffy room. She was completely enraged as she saw the great mess her room was. Someone had searched up her room. Her closets and drawers were open, her pillows were scattered on the floor, her reference books on the study table were flipped open. This work must be none other than her aunt’s.
=
Her rage didn’t really cooled down eventhough she was at work that late evening. The staffs there did asked her on why she looked so pissed off but she just shook them off with a “Nothing, I’m fine.” Since Jurina works part time at a Pizza place, she also sent delivery to people’s house either by walk or with their company’s motorbike. Jurina soon received a medium sized Hawaiian chicken pizza delivery to delivered at a not so far house. She placed the helmet on her head and drove the bike to the address that was stated.
She arrived at a posh looking housing area with rows of 3rd storey houses neatly arranged side by side. Jurina scanned for the house number 27 and find it at the end of the lane. The house has a slightly bigger space than the others since it was at the end. Jurina stopped the bike and proceed to ring the house doorbell. She couldn’t saw anyone behind the polish brown gate of the house, but she heard a sound of a door opened and footsteps walking towards the gate. One of the mini gates sprang open and a girl in white shorts and a pink shirt walked out.
“E-Eh? You?”
The girl whom Jurina met at the rooftop earlier appeared infront of her. Jurina looked back at the address state on the pizza box and stare at the huge house and back to the girl, Rena.

Thank you for your comments. And yeah, Jurina is such a loner character hahaha. Its totally the opposite of her actual character lmao :lol:
The girl whom Jurina met at the rooftop earlier appeared infront of her. Jurina looked back at the address state on the pizza box and stare at the huge house and back to the girl, Rena.
“You worked part time jobs huh?” asked Rena, as if finding this new info interesting. Jurina just nodded and held the pizza box towards Rena, “800 Yen”. Rena wasn’t really in a hurry to pay and she starts to question a lot of stuff towards Jurina.
“How long have you been working on this job?” asked Rena gleefully with a slight curiosity in her tone.
“Can’t remember..”
“How many hours do you work in a day? Don’t you get tired with all the school work and your jo—“
“Can you just give me the damn money? I have other deliveries to do,” replied Jurina angrily. But she soon felt a twinge of guilt when she saw a quite offended look on Rena’s face. Rena sighed and fish out some coins and gave it to Jurina.
“Thanks,” Jurina managed to mutter the word before starting the motor engine. She could feel her back being watched by Rena as soon as she starts to zoom off from the place. Half of her wanted to apologize for her rude actions, while the other half says just go away.
=
Jurina wasn’t feeling that well in school today. Because she got hit by the rain while she was heading back home after her job ended. But somehow, she forced herself to go to school since her aunt isn’t working today for some reason. And she’d knew her aunt will ask her for some money and shits if she stayed.
Jurina usually focus in class despite shutting herself from her classmates, but this time her mind just couldn’t. The dizziness starts to grab hold of her and her teacher’s voice sounded like echoes. The recess bell rang and Jurina quickly rushed out from the class, ignoring the eyes trailing after her.
She went to the same place where she could find peace and calmness, the rooftop. She was almost on her knees as she pushed the door, finally reaching the rooftop. Her mind starts to swirl everywhere and her eyes getting hazy and blurry. The last thing she saw was a girl quickly rushing towards her.
=
An unknown soft tune being hummed by someone near Jurina woke her up. She slowly fluttered her eyes open and saw Rena reading a book beside her. By the looks of the surrounding, Jurina was in the nurse office. She tried to lift her head but it felt slightly heavy and she landed back at the pillow with a thump.
“Eh! You’re awake!” Rena shut her book and put it aside at a small table. “How are you feeling? I think your fever is cooling down now.”
“Why are you here?” asked Jurina, ignoring the girl’s question.
“Well…you fainted as soon as you reached the rooftop. So I brought you here,” explained Rena, “The nurse said you had a fever and I’ve been accompanying you since an hour and a half.”
Jurina didn’t get why Rena bothered to skip class just to accompany her. But somehow Jurina felt a small feel of gratitude towards the girl but then she just couldn’t spill out the 6 letters. Rena looked at her intently, perhaps, waiting for a certain response.
“I’m going back to class. You should do the same,” state Jurina. She force herself to sit up and get down from the bed.
“B-But your fever—“
“I’m already fine,” lied Jurina, while still feeling the slight throbbing on her temples. Jurina open the door and leave the room. Jurina heard a small sigh before she left the room.
=
The next couple of days, unintentionally Jurina had been hanging out with Rena. Well, when Jurina was listening to the songs on her earphone at the rooftop, spacing out and stuff, Rena would always come and sat beside her, reading a book and humming to herself. Jurina could see the latter always bringing the sweet melonpan with her and munched it while reading.
Jurina found herself getting used to the girl’s presence somehow as days passed. Even though they didn’t exchange conversations, the presence of the girl seems to give her a sense of calmness. But a particular day came, as usual, Jurina went up to the rooftop. On certain days, Rena would be there first and sometimes, Jurina would. But on that day, Jurina just sat alone at the huge nothingness in front of her. The sky suddenly doesn’t seem to be too interesting to look at. She started to ponder on the whereabouts of Rena. Damn it, she started to get curious and worried for no reason right now about the girl.
When school ends, she purposely walked past by Rena’s class. Yeah, she did know what class Rena was in since Rena told her without Jurina asking. Rena’s class was not far from Jurina’s since they were in the same grade but different classes. Jurina also heard that Rena was a student figure. Jurina saw the students from Rena’s class walking out, some look attentively at her, wondering why the hell is this kid doing here, some just ignore and walk by. Jurina peeked in the class but to no avail. She turned around and there she was, leaning on the wall with a book in her hand. A smile formed on her lips as she saw Jurina’s taken aback look.
“Were you looking for me?” Rena walked towards her, a grin plastered on her face.
“Tch. Yeah right,” Jurina rolls her eyes and simply walk past the eager looking Rena. What the hell is going on with you, for heaven sake! Jurina scolded herself in her mind. Rena simply walked beside her, still with a smile on her face.
“Why are you following me?” Jurina asked without looking at Rena.
“Well, I’m heading back home of course. And weren’t you the one searching for me today?” teased Rena. She laughed a little as she saw the reddening shades forming on Jurina’s cheek.
“I was not,” Jurina retort back. Rena just shrugged her shoulder and both of them head outside the school compound. This was Jurina’s first time walking with someone in a comfortable kind of way. And the weird part is, Jurina doesn’t even know why she felt so comfortable with this girl. Although she was annoyed at that grin Rena was having, but at the same time, she find it…….cute?
As they reached the school gate, a black mercedez car parked outside. Jurina knew it was Rena’s since she saw her rode the car quite a fair few times. And no! She wasn’t stalking or anything. She just accidentally saw it.
Rena was about to grab the door handle but she halted and took out a torn paper and placed it on Jurina’s palm. “Here, take this.” And with that, she open her door handle and went inside without a glance. The car left and Jurina was still in the same position, dumbstruck, while holding the torn paper. Jurina noticed that there was 9 digit numbers scribbled on the paper. Why the heck did she left her phone number to me, thought Jurina. Little did both of the girls knew that someone was watching the whole scene.
=
Jurina worked night shift again that day and she became the cashier girl. After her shift ended, she walked out of the restaurant. The air starts to get a little chilly but soothing at the same time. She took out her phone and saw that it was half past 12. Her flat wasn’t that close and wasn’t that far, but she leisurely walk in no rush. Well you know, since the flat is like a hell to her. Jurina suddenly remembered at the already installed number of Rena in her phone. Debating with herself whether to send a text or not. But she wasn’t really in her right mind at that time, and that’s why she typed.
========================================
To : Rena Rooftop
From : Jurina
Are you asleep?
========================================
Jurina face palmed as soon as she sent the text. Of course a student figure like her be sleeping right now, thought Jurina to herself. But then her phone vibrated.
==========================================
To : Jurina
From : Rena Rooftop
I was about too. I’ve been waiting for you to text me all day !!
=========================================
Wait, she’s waiting for me? This girl really is something. They continued to text while Jurina walk back to her flat. Rena seems to tease her a lot and they started to talk about general things and stuff. A smile plastered to Jurina’s face all the time while she walk back.
Jurina as usual fish her keys on her jeans pocket and unlock the door to her flat. Things become worse when she saw the lights in her room is open. Jurina barged into her room to find her aunt, again, rummaging things in her drawer.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing right now?” scolded Jurina. Her aunt was a little taken aback, but she quickly formed a small smile, which was kind of weird to Jurina, since her aunt rarely smiled at her.
“Ah…no sweetie, I was just….just cleaning all your stuff. Your room was a mess, so I decide to—“
“Cut the crap will you? I know you’ve been searching for money. You think I’m stupid? Now get out of my room!” yelled Jurina as she push her drawer shut.
Her aunt smirked, “We’ll see if it is still your room tomorrow…”

Thank you for your comments on chapter 2. I dislike Jurina's aunt too. Maybe some of you will hate her more on this chapt hahaha :yep:
She woke up to the alarm clock on her phone ringing, showing a sign that it was already 6.30am. As usual she went and washed her face and faced the cold shower, but weird thing is, she saw the lights were open underneath the crack of her aunt’s room. Weird, her aunt is usually still sleeping at this time.
Jurina will always grab a chocolate bun from a nearby store before heading off to school. She plugged her earphones and continued to munch her way on the bun while entering the school compound. Just as Jurina step in through the gates, a Mercedez black car pull over followed by a Porsche car from behind. Jurina saw Rena coming out from the car and another boy coming out from the Porsche car. Both of them seem to know each other and they exchange conversation for a while, and the boy patted Rena’s head before both of them depart separate ways.
Jurina doesn’t realize she was still staring at Rena while standing on the same spot until Rena spot her and call out her name.
“Jurina !” Rena called out from a distance, as she grin happily, spotting the girl who was holding a half eaten bun, with her mouth slightly open.
“H-Hey…” Jurina muttered under her breath, too quiet for Rena to hear, before she turned around and continue to walk to her class. She heard hurried footsteps from behind, trying to catch up with her.
“Why are you in a rush? Didn’t you hear me calling you?” asked Rena while she catch her breath. “By the way, why did you leave me hanging yesterday night? You fell asleep, didn’t you? Didn’t you?”
Jurina unplugged her earphones and turn towards the happily skipping girl beside her, “No. My battery phone died. Bye.” Jurina walk inside her class, leaving Rena alone. Jurina doesn’t even know why she was being a little cold towards Rena. But hasn’t she always been like this? Her mind suddenly flashed back to the guy patting Rena’s head? Who was he? Ugh why am I giving a damn about this sort of thing, thought Jurina as she pulled her chair to sit.
As usual, Jurina would go up to the rooftop during recess. Rena was already there, sitting at the ground, reading a new book. Yes, Jurina didn’t know since when, but she started to notice some things Rena kept reading or have or like…the point is Jurina keep giving a damn about things that she uses to not give a damn.
Rena saw her and she patted the ground excitingly next to her, “C’mhere.” Jurina somehow briefly walk passed the girl and went to the overview and cupped a hand on her cheek, while feeling the small breeze of the wind. She heard the latter behind her move and stood beside her, looking slightly puzzled.
“You know…you seem a little off today. Did something happen?” Rena received silence as a reply, but the girl won’t give up just yet, “Ah let me guess…you’re tired since you had a nightshift last night? Or maybe...you haven’t had enough sleep? But you always look like you haven’t had enou—“
“Cut it.”
“O-Okay…” judging by Rena’s tone, she might have felt slightly hurt by Jurina’s extra sudden coldness. Rena shuffled away from Jurina and slumped back at the ground, picking up her book. They stayed that way for the entire recess time and when the bell rang, Rena started to get a move off, when the guilty-feeling Jurina said while her back still turning from the latter, “Hey… see you after school’s over.”
Rena came back to her side and gave away a melonpan to Jurina, “Take this and eat.” She smiled before walking away.
=
Some people nudged and pointed when they saw the student model waiting for the loner girl in front of the class. Like mice they squeak, squeaking sceptical gossip. Jurina hung her bag on one side, push her chair and head out.
“Why do you come here?”
“Weren’t you the one who wanted to see me after school?” highlighted Rena, as they walk through the packed corridors.
“Yeah, but I come to you. Not the other way around,” Jurina clench her jaw as she answered, “The students will think you’re nuts for hanging out with me…”
“Like I care…” Rena said in a carefree way, “What’s with them if I walk with you? It’s not like you’re some alien or somethi—Oh, Hi!” Some students passing by them, greeting Rena, but averted eyes with Jurina.
“See?”
“See what?”
Jurina sighed and they continue to walk out from the school compound, nearing the gates. The same black Mercedez car could be seen just a few metres away from the school gate. And not further behind, the red Porsche always parked nearby.
“Say about earlier…can you tell me what’s bothering you?”Rena stop in her steps and turn to face Jurina, with a quizzical look.
“What do you mean?”
“Well…you usually always eat for 5 minutes and take 20 minutes nap, but today you’re like thinking of something…?”
“I think a lot I suppose,” shrugged of Jurina. “By the way, I—“
“Hey Rena-chan! Ready to go back home?” The guy came and put his arms on Rena’s shoulder. The same guy Jurina saw earlier this morning. He was not too tall, but not short and has those kind of smiles where girls would turn to mere liquid when they see it. But not to Jurina. He also has this arrogant rich kid vibe though.
“Eh…Takkun…”Rena looks slightly uncomfortable and she heaved off the arm from her shoulders, “Yeah…I’m about to go back. Was talking with my friend here for a while.”
“Friend?,” Takkun raises one of his eyebrow, before introducing himself, “Oh…I’m sorry for not introducing myself…I didn’t know Rena was friends with people like…I mean, you must know my name already I suppose?” Jurina who obviously doesn’t know who the guy is, shook her head. “You don’t?”
“Jurina, this is Takuya. Takuya, this is Jurina.” Rena simply said it, hencing the awkward air around the three of them.
Jurina nodded and added, “Uh…I guess…I should go—“
“Yeah, Rena, we should go now. Your father are waiting for us for the lunch meeting, remember?” Takuya bring the subject, making Rena flinched upon realization but soon, Jurina notice a slight unsettled face was to be seen on Rena’s face. “Ah yes….the lunch…”
“Bye…”Jurina awkwardly wave and spun around leaving the two of them. After a few minutes walk, Jurina feel her phone vibrating in her hands and received a message from Rena, telling Jurina that she will text her right after her ‘stupid’ lunch. Wait…..it doesn’t said ‘stupid’ in the text. Somehow Jurina added it…Ah forget it.
Jurina came back to the scruffy flat to find that the door was unlocked. She twisted the doorknob and found the owner of the house Mr Maki and some two unknown bulky guys kicking, and clearing stuff around.
“Oh it’s you. I suppose your mother left you as an exchange for the months of rent bills she needs to pay…” Mr Maki said in a twisted smile, while he nudges the two guys.
Sensing the danger, Jurina ran for it before the guys sprawled after her. She did not had a full of idea on where she is heading but she just let her legs lead. Lucky, she was quite a fast runner, she manage to leave the two guys behind. She only stopped running when she reached a deserted park, which was quite a distance from the flat. Jurina slumped under the tree, breathing heavily.
That old hag, Jurina thought, no wonder she was awake early this morning. Jurina searched the insides of her bag for an envelope which contains the money she had been saving all this time from the part time jobs she did. Jurina was glad she always kept the money safe with her. But then it hit her. She’s homeless now. Where is she suppose to go? She has no other relatives besides her aunt. Even if Jurina dies and gotten revived, finding her aunt would still be the last thing she do.
And Jurina only has a sweater and one extra pants in her bag which she always bring along in case she doesn’t go back home right after school. Oh shit, thought Jurina, the 200 000Yen she has right now was actually her saving up for educational expenses purpose. But she did foresee this sort of thing to happen, but not now. Jurina stared blankly at the Pizza place she work. She still had an hour till her shift starts. But then something ticks in her mind.

wait what?! poor juribait T_T

Really I hate Jurina's aunt.. :angry:
How will Jurina live from now on? :banghead:
Can't wait for next update.. :w00t:

omg!!
What Jurina going to do now?
-
Rena and Jurina's character really are a contrast from who they are in real life isn't it? Hahaha. Enjoy chapt 4 ! :bow:
Today is the 4th day Jurina skipped school and the girl seems to be more restless as every day pass. The long explanations regarding the molecules from her teacher in front seems to drone in her mind insignificantly. Much to her astonishment as she never loses focus in class, but somehow today the girl cant just ignore her mind constantly bugging the whereabouts of the interesting girl she befriended recently.
“…As I said earlier, I want a full explanation of the process of saponification by this Wednesday and handed it to Matsui-san.”
Rena jerked off from her spacing out at the mention of her name. The teacher then dismiss the class and Rena immediately turned to her deskmate, Airin, “What did sensei said earlier?”
“The usual of course…” Airin reply while fishing her books in her bag.
“You mean picking up the homework, right?”
“Du-uh. Your usual class rep job,” Airin teasingly rolls her eyes, “Were you spacing out again? It’s really an uncommon sight to see the class model to space out in class.”
“Was it obvious?” Rena asked as she, too, kept her books away. “Well, considering you’ve been staring at the same page of the textbook for half an hour…nope. It wasn’t obvious at all,” Airin taunted, “Something bothering you? Is it about the friend of yours? What’s her name again?? Juri was it? She hasn’t been coming to school this week.”
“Yeah…I know. You notice?” Rena asked, quite surprise that Airin knew Jurina. “Well sort of… Anyways, gotta go now. Got a bookstore to visit. See you…” Airin push her chair inside the desk and leave.
=
Silence surrounded in the car as Rena slope on the seat behind, as the driver drove her back home. The driver glance at Rena from the front mirror quite a few times, sensing something was off on the girl, as Rena always has things to tell to the driver every day when she is on board.
“What brings upon our doll to have a frown today?” the long time Matsui’s driver, Mr Yoko asked. “You were like this yesterday and the day before yesterday.”
“It’s nothing…I’m just thinking about the upcoming finals,” lied Rena.
“Then, shall we order your favourite pizza later? I heard food can always put your worries away for a moment,” Mr Yoko suggested.
“Yeah…pizza…,”mumbled Rena for a while, but then something struck her, “Yoko-san! Can we stop by at XXX Pizza straight away. I-I don’t feel like having deliveries right now.” The driver was a little surprised on Rena’s sudden decision but agrees and drive straight ahead to the pizza parlour.
Damn Rena, why are you so stupid. The pizza parlour, of course! She must have ditched school to work or something, thought Rena, mentally banging her head at the wall. But what if she isn’t there? For God’s sake, why cant she just reply to my text or answer my calls. Rena look at the numbers of text she sent at Jurina and the numerous time she called the latter. This girl better be there.
=
Cling. The bell chime as Rena entered the parlour. The place was a little pack since it was lunch hour. Rena immediately crook her neck over the long queue to see whether the jet black hair girl could be spotted at the counter, but to no avail. But she still queued up, maybe she could ask the cashier about Jurina or something.
As her turn came, the cashier who has a cute twintails greeted and smiled at her before asking for her order. Rena ordered her usual Hawaiian Chicken and while the cashier handed out her change, she asked “Sorry, but, do you know a person who works here by the name of Jurina?”
“Ah, J-Jurina...!” the girl clasped her hand to her mouth, “She…um…she wor—“
“She’s not here.” A girl by the name of Nakanishi, most probably the supervisor there, answered. “Manatsu, give this Miss her change already.”
“H-Hai!” Manatsu, the cashier girl, took out a few coins and gave them to Rena, “Here’s your change. Please come again.”
Rena clutched the plastic in her hand, a sigh came out from her mouth, while she still scan around, hoping for the sight of the girl. After she gave one last look to the place, she left and went back inside the car.
=
Jurina took the last tray containing the mini size circle dough into the oven and took out her plastic glove. She stares at the small specks of flour on the table and took a rag cloth wiping it clean. While Jurina was cleaning around for the parlour’s closing, her supervisor, Nakanishi walk in.
“Are you sure the girl isn’t some sort of a freaky, clingy ex-girlfriend or something?” Nakanishi lean on the counter.
“Hah?” Jurina didn’t really take notice on Nakanishi’s words as she was polishing some utensils, “What are you talking about?”
“You remember that day when you told me if someone comes here asking for you, I must say ‘I don’t know’ and some shit, right?” Nakanishi asked.
“Uh-huh”
“Well a girl has been here every day since the last 3 days, and she’s still here now. But I told Manatsu we’ll be closing in 10 minutes.”
Jurina puzzled, took off her working cap, “Wait…what girl?” Jurina shuffled towards the counter and took a peek at the only guest in the parlour. The girl was wearing a long brown coat, her thumb swiping blandly on her phone screen. It was Rena.
Jurina walk out from the cashier and walk towards the table Rena was sitting. Rena turned wide eye and her cheeks turned slightly pink when she saw her. Jurina took out the chair and turn it backwards before sitting. “What are you doing over here?”
Rena seems to be loss for words for a while before saying, “Is that how you greet someone who’ve been coming here for days searching for you?
“Why are you searching for me? You’re wasting your time. You should be doing something that’s called studying. Aren’t there pre-finals next week?” Jurina reminded the girl, since Rena was one of the school model and all.
Rena frowns a little, which look crazily cute somehow, uh? what. “Excuse me? Don’t you realize you’re gonna take the exam too. And you’re asking me why I’m searching for you? I was…I was worried of course.”
Jurina felt a rush of heat seeping into her cheeks at Rena’s last sentence. “W-Worried? Why should you worry about me? You should be worried about that Takkun of yours. Don’t you think he’ll be worried of you, coming here everyday.”
Rena look a little perplexed on Jurina’s statement, “Why would he be worried? And anyways my driver is waiting outside. And….”
“And??”
“I know you’ve been crashing at this place for a couple of days already. That’s why...that’s why I want you to come and stay at my place at the moment.” Rena eyes look determined.
“Did you….did you stalk me?”
“I asked the teacher for some personal details about you. I went to the address stated on your document, but I only found a bolt at the door and a “Room For Rent” promotion poster sticking there.”
Jurina could not believe what she is listening. This is the first time she found someone prying on her daily life and Jurina is not quite sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Jurina stared at the determined brown orbs in front of her. If Jurina has a wobbly heart, she’d been already wavered. But now, not just yet.
“Why are you doing this?”
“What do you mean?” Rena sounded confused at Jurina’s question.
“I mean this, all this,” Jurina crossed her arm, “First, you came out of nowhere and starts to hang around at my personal space. Then, you accompanied me at the nurse office. And then somehow, you gave me your number and now you’re asking me to stay over at your house? Don’t you think it’s absurd?
“What is?”
“All of these!”Jurina starts to get slightly impatient, “don’t you think I’ll do bad things if you let me stay at your place or anything?”
“Uh-huh…like what?” Rena asked, not flicking a single eyelash.
“I don’t know…like steal some stuff from your place (?)”
“I know you’re not that type.”
“How would you know?”
“Because I do. And that’s that’s. Stop asking questions and follow me already.” Rena stood up from her seat, buttoning her coat. “I’ll be waiting for you in the car.” Without another word, she left the parlour, leaving Jurina slightly baffled. What the heck, she thought, as she ruffled her hair before standing up and re-arranged the chairs.
=
Jurina slung her bag on one side before checking throughout the parlour whether everything is re-arranged neatly. She closed the lights and head out from the entrance. A black mercedez already parked at the side was seen. Jurina slowly walked towards the car, somehow mixed feelings whether she should just ignore the offer or went straight in. At last she just stood nearby the car, contemplating, until the backseat window opened. A slightly annoyed looking Rena, stick out her head, “How long do you actually plan to stand there?” Jurina squinted her eyes to show her slight annoyance, before she went inside the car. As Jurina shut the door, the driver turned behind and smiled warmly at Jurina before he starts to drive. They were silent the whole way till they reach Rena’s 3-storey house.

@DC2805 -> I, myself got my heart stolen by Rena hahaha XD
@huffhuff -> Very rare indeed. It's very different from her actual character in real life isnt it? :shy2:
Thank you for commenting !! Btw, did you heard there's going to be Matsui Rena Show. If one of you participate in the petition last month, we did it ! :gyaaah: and here's chapter 5 :peace:
“And we’re here…” Mr Yoko pressed a green button on the remote, and the gate sprang wide open, revealing the huge compound of Matsui’s Residence. There were two other cars in the garage and one of them is a sleek, sporty Mazda MX-5 Miata car, which Jurina just saw it in a sports car magazine the other week. Damn, they’re rich, Jurina thought to herself.
Jurina felt a pat on her knees, and Rena signal her to get out of the car. Well, Jurina have been gaping at the sports car for quite a while. Pretty embarrassing. As the main entrance door open, revealing the wide, urban-style living room, Jurina, again was left in awe. Since she has been stuck living in that mouldy, cramp flat for quite a time, she is definitely not used on seeing such spacious and big house. But then Jurina’s sight got block when she felt a hand covering her eyes.
“You should really learn to blink…” teased Rena and Jurina felt her right hand being dragged towards the spiral staircase. And up they went.
“Where’s your parents?” Jurina asked, sensing the silence in the whole house. She only spot two other maids earlier, but not a sight of the elders.
“My dad’s not back home yet. I’m not sure whether he’ll be coming back home tonight. He’s outstation,” Rena answered with a sigh.
They reached Rena’s room on the second floor and boy her room is like one of those room Jurina saw in a home deco magazine. Yes, Jurina read some magazines during her free time sometimes, hence the magazine reference. Rena’s room was pastel coloured with floral-prints wallpaper which lighten up the room. But the first thing Jurina noticed was the queen size bed in the middle of the room, with a huge melonpan pillow.
“You can put your stuff over there,”Rena pointing at the armchair, while she sat on the bed. “And, you should go and shower but don’t wear the same clothes you’re wearing now!”
“Excuse me, this clothes ain’t that dirty okay—“
“Shh,”Rena put one finger on her lips, and points at the bathroom, before giggling. “Since we’re about the same height, you’ll be wearing my clothes okay.”
Jurina shrugged and walked into the bathroom. She shut the door behind and stared at the mirror hung above the sink. Even the bathroom somehow looks majestic. Jurina was suddenly reminded off her old crack mirror in the bathroom at the old flat, wondering if that bastard Mr Maki had thrown it away. She turned on the tap of the shower and cold water hits her. Ah, even though it’s starting to get chilly outside, Jurina is used to cold water. Her aunt never pays for the heater, therefore Jurina only paid if it is really winter time. As Jurina was scrubbing her hair, she heard a knock on the door.
“Are you showering with cold water? You didn’t switch on the heater. You’re crazy, you’ll catch a cold!” Rena scolded from the outside. Slowly the water showering down turns lukewarm and Jurina’s inside somehow felt as warm as the water.
=
“Are you kidding me?” Jurina peeped her head from the bathroom door as a set of cute, girly looking, one piece pyjamas was shove to her face. “Do you have a more….casual pyjamas?”
“Please be grateful. And I think you’ll look fine with that on,” answered Rena with a slight hint of teasing in her voice.
Well right after she came out from the bathroom, Rena kept laughing hysterically for a couple of minutes. Jurina felt like running towards the nearest cliff and jump, at that moment. It was that embarrassing.
“Can you stop laughing already…” Jurina said in annoyance as she headed to the armchair to put some stuff into her bag.
“I’m sorry, it’s just that, you look so feminine and….cute,” Jurina barely catch the last part as Rena spoke it in a low voice. Trying to hide the sudden heat she’s feeling on her cheek, Jurina saw a family photo on a frame hanging on the wall. A younger and smaller looking Rena, stood between her parents, with her mom’s hand on Rena’s shoulder. Her mom was a beauty. Rena must have got her looks from her mom.
“Your mom really looks like you,”Jurina nodded on at the frame, “where is she?”
Rena hoists herself up from the bed and walked in front of the frame. She stared at it for a while before saying, “Yeah, I get that a lot. People always said I look like my mom, but I have my dad’s eyes. But speaking of my mom, she passed away when I was 12.”
Jurina felt a slight pang, maybe she should not have asked the question, “I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay. My mom soon got bedridden sick a couple of weeks after this picture was taken,” Rena said while still staring at the frame, “My dad paid various doctors to nurse her back to health, but mom just got worse and soon just went away.”
Noticing Jurina’s silence, Rena turned around and sat beside her, “I know your parents past away in a tragic accident. I’m sorry about that.”
“Nah, it’s okay. I was still a kid at that time,” Jurina sighed and fold her clothes to put in her bag, “Besides, it didn’t affe—“
“Where do you think you’re putting that clothes at?”Rena suddenly interrupts and snatch Jurina’s bag. Rena pulled out back the clothes Jurina neatly folded and put it in a green basket. “That needs to go for a laundry.”
Jurina just rolls her eyes and Rena pull out a chair from her study table and sat down. She took out a couple of books from her bag and distantly said, “You know Jurina, don’t you think we’re quite similar in certain things?” And Jurina was left to ponder.
=
A small yawn was heard on her right side. Jurina looked to her side and saw Rena was still diligently scribbling some notes on her colourful memo pads, despite yawning for the uptenth time. As expected, the student model.
They had been studying for the past two hours. Jurina who skipped school a couple of days, also, never missed to skim through her notes once she finished her job. She needs the scholarship. Therefore, she needs to get excellent grades. Not that it wasn’t good before, but she needs to compete with some other students to get a hold of the scholarship. Jurina wonders if Rena wanted the scholarship too, but then Rena is well-off without it since her dad could support her. Jurina? She only has her part time job savings.
“I think I’ll stop here for now,” Rena shut her book and lay her head on one side, looking at Jurina, “Which part are you at?”
“I’m done with that. I’m reading History Chapter 6,” replied Jurina monotonously. Rena quickly sat straight up and grabbed one of Jurina’s book. She flipped through the pages and by the look of her face, she look slightly surprised.
“You’re fast!” Rena could not manage to hide her amazement, “You’re really something huh…”
“Is that a compliment?” it was Jurina’s turn to shut her book. She stretched her arms above and sighed. “You’d seriously think I work all day and never lay a soul on these things?”
“I suppose.” Rena stood up and went to the sink to brush her teeth. Jurina felt slightly uneasy. Is this a sign that she wants to sleep already? Jurina looked at her watch and it was almost one in the morning. When Rena walked out from the bathroom, Jurina went in and did the same thing. She brushed her teeth using the new toothbrush Rena’s maid brought in for her earlier.
As she walked out from the bathroom, she saw Rena was already lying on the bed, reading some book. Jurina proceed and lay on the floor, while staring at the ceiling above. Her sight once again got block when a disgruntled looking Rena hung above her.
“What are you doing?” asked Rena.
“Can’t you see what I’m doing? I’m trying to sleep.” Jurina shut her eyes.
“And why are you sleeping on the floor? Can’t you see there’s a big space beside me here?” Rena flapped her arms to show the amount of space on the bed.
“I-It’s okay…” stuttered Jurina, feeling slightly awkward. “Besides it’s your bed. You should sleep using the whole space. I’m fine here.”
“I never use the whole space when I’m sleeping. Just sleep on the bed Jurina,” persuade Rena once again, but only fail once more when Jurina said, “It’s fine. I’m sleeping down here. That’s that’s. You’ve already done a lot for me today. It’s okay.”
With that answer, an unreadable expression came upon Rena’s face and she went back to her lying position. Jurina wondered if she was a little harsh, but really, Rena has done a lot for her today. Giving her proper shelter, and sitting in a comfortable place for the night. Jurina feels unworthy to sleep in the same bed with Rena, even if she insists so. She just felt that they were not on the same par to begin with. Jurina, then, felt asleep while thinking of a plan to find a proper place for her to stay.
Jurina accidentally woke up when she heard the sound of dogs barking outside. She was half awake and aimlessly trying to reach out for her watch, when she unintentionally touched something else. She looked to her left and swallows back a yelp, as she was shock to see Rena dozing off beside, while hugging the melonpan pillow.
This girl, Jurina thought as she scanned Rena’s sleeping face. Rena’s skin is really white and smooth. She looks like a baby, Jurina thought to herself, kinda cute to be honest. Wait, why am I thinking this stuff again? A small sigh came out and later, Jurina slowly fell asleep, facing Rena’s side.

@akbcoupleshipper : If I was Rena, I myself would rather sleep on the floor with J hahaha not missing my chance
@huffhuff : That is some cute emoji's you're using to express yourself :lol:
@key17 : I'm imagining a very girly, cutesy pyjamas which does not suit Jurina's cool attitude at all :hehehe:
And here's the next chapt ! The song alarm is from one of my fav song's from Baby Raids entitled, Koi Wa Panic. PS // Rena is a huge fan of the group too in real life :heart:
Throughout Jurina’s 18 years of living, she thought this was the grandest breakfast she had ever eaten in her entire life. With 3 types of cereals, pancakes, omelette, half-boiled eggs, toast and you name it. Jurina wonder how Rena still maintains her slim figure with this amount of food served.
As Jurina was about to reach the spoon in the maple syrup, Rena was about to do the same, when their fingers brushed each other, thus both sides retreat. A tint of pink emerges on their faces as they were somehow reminded on what happened earlier this morning.
“ACHI SOCHI KOCHI DOCHI KOI WA PANIC!!”
That was what Jurina kept listening in her dream. The hyper song kept repeating and Jurina struggle to cover her ears from the loud song, when she suddenly felt like she was touching something silky and smooth. With half lidded- eyes, she softly grasp the silky thing, making it go through between her fingers. She felt a warm breathing tinkling her face and turn wide eye to discover she was dangerously inches close with Rena.
Jurina then struggle to reach out her hand for Rena’s phone, but the thing is Rena was holding on quite firmly on Jurina’s waist. After she decides on doing her last attempt to reach out Rena’s phone, Jurina somehow managed to heaved her body, making her chest embarrassingly, on par with Rena’s face. Jurina almost made it. She really almost made it, when suddenly Rena yelped and half-punch Jurina’s stomach. What-a-morning.
=
“It seems that Takuya-sama just arrived outside,” said one of Rena maids, if Jurina was not mistaken, her name was Kanaco. “I will invite him in.”
Rena who was tying her shoelaces suddenly look up, “No it’s okay. We’re already about to head out. We’ll just meet at school.” But somehow Rena’s refusal turns vain when that supposing ‘Takuya-sama’ rang the bell outside the gate. Jurina who was already sitting nonchalantly beside Rena, heard a sigh coming from her.
“Ohayou Rena-ch—“ Takuya cheerfully greeted but came to a halt, “You? Why are you here?”
“I invited her to stay over,” answered Rena in quite a displeased tone, “and her name is Jurina.”
Rena stood up after finishing tying her shoelaces and went straight to their already standby car outside. Jurina follow suit, not like she has any choice. The school is quite a distant from Rena’s house. It was much nearer though to the flat. Somehow a tiny part of her starts to miss the appalling flat. Jurina almost head on Rena from behind as the latter suddenly halt in her movement as she was about to hold the car door.
It was Takuya who graciously step aside and place his hand on the grip, politely open the door for Rena. He gave a short bow when Rena entered, but turned into a sour yogurt as Jurina stepped in. Man, did this dude pour a whole bunch of perfume on himself or what, thought Jurina.
“I’ll be seeing you at the entrance as usual Rena,” he said, with a smile so pretentious in Jurina’s eyes, thus shutting the door.
Again, Jurina heard a sigh coming out from Rena but Jurina did not feel like intriguing any questions upon her. The whole journey to school was in silence, and it breaks when the driver Mr Yoko, received a call. After he kept his phone back in his front pocket, Mr Yoko cleared his voice and spoke, “Mr Matsui just informed me that you would be having dinner at Kitagawa’s house tonight with him, as there is a small occasion for fellow merchants being held.”
Jurina was not sure if her ears deceived her, but she heard a low frustrating mutter from Rena, “Again?”
=
One of things that Jurina dislike, is unnecessary attention. She’s been getting a lot for the past month, especially when Rena sudden random appearence at the rooftop. But now, she’s bound to get more attention, notably as she stepped down from Rena’s car. Jurina saw a few head turns, escaping whispers and curious glances. Great, just great.
Jurina plugged in her earphones and quickly rush off to the school compound, without a word to Rena. Wondering if her actions were slightly rude, but Jurina did thanked Mr Yoko for the ride. Jurina does not know what cause her to vaguely look behind her, just to see a spectacular scene where Takuya giving his all-smiles to Rena while patting her head. A sudden alien feeling came upon her and she couldn’t really comprehend the emotions, thus choosing to ignore it as she head to class.
=
Alas, the boring drones from her teachers did not happened in most classes today, since they were told to revise alone, or in pairs. The crap thing is, even till recess was over, Jurina could still faintly hear some of her classmates whispering and stealing glances of her. Maximum level of annoyance indeed, Jurina thought. Jurina reached her limit when she felt someone was staring at her from her right side, “What?”
The girl flinched and almost lose grip on her notes. It was none other than their class beauty, Iriyama Anna. Another girl whom Jurina secretly competes in achieving the best grades in class.
“Sorry, I was about to ask you whether you would like to study with me?” Iriyama tentatively asked, as she approached the empty seat in front of Jurina.
A small frown enclose on Jurina’s forehead, “What makes you think I would like to?”
“A premonition,” Iriyama shrugs her shoulder, “and you’re the ace in the class. Now that you’ve befriended the student model, I suppose you might have a few wisdom (?) that you could share with me.”
One thing Jurina knows about Iriyama Anna is that she is not afraid of challenges. Jurina heard that she went and visit one of the male students’ who did not attend school for 3 weeks alone, despite rumours saying that the boy is involved in a bad crowd. And the next thing you know, the boy came to school like nothing ever happened. The boy even dyed his hair back to black somehow.
Both of them continued to indulge in silence but after a while, Iriyama said, “I almost thought I should visit the workplace of yours since you’ve been skipping school the whole week.”
“What makes you think I would come to school even if you have visited?” muttered Jurina nonchalantly. Jurina’s casual inquiry was only answered by a captivating smile and they both continued with their revision.
=
“Can I have a day-off in one of the days next week?” Jurina asked her supervisor, Nakanishi, “I’ve got exams.”
“Sure kid,” her tomboy-ish supervisor Nakanishi, flipped opened the schedule book. “You’ve been skipping school this week and that’s not a good thing to do.
"But…..you have to choose your offday either on Friday or Wednesday.”
“Wednesday sounds good,” agreed Jurina as she mopped the floor. Of all the days, Jurina seems to like Wednesday the most. She does not have a firm reason why, but usually, on Wednesdays, good things happen to her, but not always.
As Jurina washed her hand at the sink, Masana came in, her twintails swinging side to side, “There’s another girl looking for you. She said she’s a friend of yours.”
Her supervisor walked in to the kitchen afterwards and exclaimed, “Damn Jurina, all the girls chasing for you are all so hot. How you get em?”
“What?” A confused Jurina went out and saw Iriyama, holding two starbucks coffee whilst smiling at her.
=
“I’ve noticed,”Iriyama speak in between sips, “you’ve been getting less icy than you were before.”
Jurina eyebrows prompt to a curious thought, did she? I think I’m still the same old me. Except that random people is starting to associate with her for no apparent reason.
“Was it the work of the student model, Rena-san?” Iriyama tilts her head, asking for a reply. But only get back a scowl-look from Jurina. “It’s okay, you don’t have to answer that. But how about you gave me her address.”
“For what?”asked Jurina, quite surprised on the unusual request.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to take a bus, because it’s already midnight. And taking the taxi will cost more. Not good for a person who’s saving up,” Iriyama replied. She stood up and threw her empty coffee on a bin and approached a pink scooter, which, Jurina just realize upon its presence. Iriyama took out an extra helmet from inside her seat and throw it at Jurina, who barely caught it.
“Are you coming or not?”
=
Rena does not know why, but she kept staring at the text Jurina sent to her 10 minutes ago, saying that Mr Yoko don’t need to pick her up at the place since she got a ride. Rena simply stared at the text without replying, while thinking could that be a possibility that Jurina would runaway to some other place. Why would she? Unless she knows—
Her thoughts came to a pause as the sudden cold wind blew on her face, making her hair went all over. Silly her for waiting outside, but somehow she just felt like wanting to wait for Jurina here rather than being inside.
“You must be very fond of her,”Mr Matsui said a while back when they were in the car. “You never bring friends to our place. It’s good to see this small change. Must be Takuya’s help too huh?”
Takuya’s help? Rena thought, of course not, that gloating boy with over-poured cologne was never a help. But Rena has no choice but to have him around her life, since Takuya’s dad is one of the most influential businessman in Japan and Rena’s dad has a quite a soft spot for him. She heaved a sigh and contemplate on life for a moment, but stopped when she heard the sound of a motor engine.
In between the cracks of her house gate, Rena saw the motorcycle stopped just outside the gate. Is it Jurina, she thought, she sprang from the bench she sat on, and push open the mini gate to find Jurina, and surprisingly, Annin aka Iriyama Anna.
“Hi Rena,” Annin swing her head from side to side as she took off her helmet. “Brought back your friend, here…”
“Err…thanks for the lift Iriyama,”Jurina gave the helmet back. She saw Rena was in a pale blue dress that covers her knees and she was wearing a white headband, quite a lovely view Jurina must admit. But the weird thing is, Rena just stood at the same spot, looking quite surprised. She did not even say ‘Hi’ back to Iriyama, which may count as rude (?) to a person like Rena, but for Jurina, pfft.
“Just call me Annin,” Iriyama said with the same cool smile, and she wore back her helmet. “See you at school and oh, good luck for finals this Monday.”
Annin starts back the engine of her scooter and drove away. Jurina stood there and watch till the light of Annin’s scooter fade away before turning around to see Rena was not there anymore.
=
Mr Matsui really has a contrast when you compared his face with Rena’s. And what Rena said was true, Mr Matsui’s eyes are a copy paste of Rena’s. Wait, it should be the other way around. But anyways, by overall judgement from Jurina, Mr Matsui looked like he’s in his late 40’s with just a few glimpse of white hair that can be seen. His brown orbs below his faint brows sits perfectly. His long nose hints that he is a man full of knowledge and a warm smile radiates from him. Somehow, Jurina felt like she had seen this man before, but where??
“So how long have you knew Rena?” Mr Matsui asked while placing his cup at the saucer and looking straight at Jurina.
“Err….” This really feels like an interview which I am not prepared for, thought Jurina nervously, as she shuffled from her seat. “Umm…I think it was about a mont—“
“Dad?” Rena walked down the stairs, already in her pyjamas, “I thought I told you I’d introduced Jurina tomorrow?”
Mr Matsui chuckles at Rena’s inquiry, “I thought so too. But I saw her came inside our house, so why not now huh?” Rena groans in a childish way and her dad continues to giggle before saying, “Alright, alright, at least have me finish my cup of tea first, honey.”
With two gulps, Mr Matsui heaved a satisfied sigh and stood up. “Have a goodnight sleep girls. And umm, Jurina is it (?) Please make yourself at home. You can stay here till whenever.” Mr Matsui again gave her a warm smile, before heading up the stairs.
As Rena’s dad was out of sight, Jurina pepped, “Your father is really a kind person.... and he really does have your eyes.”
“I suppose…”
The sudden lack of response from Rena, made Jurina a little dumbfounded but she did not question more as she quietly followed Rena back to her room.
=
The room was dark, and only a shadow of street light lamps outside reflecting through the closed curtains enlighten the quiet space. Jurina was a little weary but somehow she could not shut her eyes and drift to dreamland just yet. The person beside her seems to be having the same problem. Shifting left to right from time to time, and for a moment Rena’s hand accidentally touched Jurina’s and both of them quickly retreat like an electric shock. Yes, they’re sleeping in the same bed.
“Make sure you sleep on the bed later…”Rena said, once Jurina got out from the washroom. Rena immediately cover herself her quilt and lay sideways, facing the opposite.
By her actions, Jurina did not answer anything but thought that it is wise for her to just follow what Rena said since she’s sensing something not quite good is brewing in Rena’s thoughts.
Sleeping beside another person, nor sleeping alone, clearly does not change anything since Jurina is still wide awake. Even when she was at her old flat, she sometimes had a hard time to fall asleep despite feeling tired. But then Jurina heard the person beside her cleared her throat.
“Jurina, you’re not asleep yet right?”
“Hmm…”
Silence engulfed between them once again but then, “Nee Jurina, are you close with Annin?”

This would be my last update for this week (?) maybe since I'm a little busy preparing for my degree intake this Saturday. But of course, I will try my best to update a new chapter probz next week or so :grin: Here's chapter 7 !
A slight disgruntled frown came upon her face as she stared at the last question. Racking her brains hard, she must know it, she must ! She had seen this question before and she had done it some other day. This is totally one of those moments where she, Rena, would feel like banging her head on the desk. Not that she haven’t done it before, but sometimes, the memories reinstalled back to her brain when she does it and sometimes, only the searing pain on her forehead is what is left.
The teacher supervising their class announced that they had 10 minutes left, and the class soon buzz with sudden sound of flipping pages and chairs being tucked in properly. Rena too, muster all her might on doing the last question and finishing it just in time as the teacher said “Drop your pens.”
“Today’s test was a piece of cake isn’t it?”
Rena shrugged at Takuya’s declaration as they headed out from the school compound. Today is the third time, Rena is forcefully being walked outside with Takuya. Sure, they will meet outside. Outside when their car has arrived, but recently, thanks to Jurina’s absence, Takuya seems to take it as a chance and walked with her.
Rena half-heartedly listen to those bores stories of Takuya, near the guard house, while scanning the students coming out from the school compound, hoping for Jurina in sight. After a couple of minutes, with Takuya droning on about the fall of a certain country’s currency, Rena spot Jurina walking towards them, and besides her, there was Annin.
“Iriyama-san,” Takuya inspected her in a curious manner, “once again, it’s a quite a rare occasion for me to see a person like you, hanging out with this, uh—what’s her name again?”
“Jurina,” Annin answered softly, “well, we just came back from meeting Mieko sensei. Asking for some tips and hints for tomorrow’s last paper. Just stating, if you’re wondering…”
Annin gazed at Rena intently, which Rena look away and said nothing. Jurina who might sense something quite off, tried to form some sort of conversation but only manage and “Uhh….”
Takuya who was oblivious to everything, suddenly asked Annin, “So, how’s your father? I heard your pops isn’t really doing well with his health last month. Is he okay now?”
“Oh, my father ,?” Annin raised an eyebrow tauntingly, “he’s in a pink of health. You know, after his long business trip, I now, could finally get to spend more time with him since he’s back home.”
“That’s good to hear. You should come and have din—“
“The car’s here,”dejects Rena, cutting the conversation, as Mr Yoko parked the car in front of them, following by Takuya’s car from behind. Rena went inside without a word, followed by Jurina who gave a hasty, awkward parting towards Annin.
“Well that was slightly intense,” spoke Jurina as she shut the door.
-
“Nee Jurina, are you close with Annin?”
Jurina hesitates for a while, before shifting her position, facing her, Rena. She seemed to stare at her while Rena lay motionless, staring at the ceiling. “The fact that I just had a proper conversation with her for the first time today and she gave me a ride, I could say, we’re kinda friends (?)”answered Jurina in a pondering tone.
“Un~”
“….”
“…….”
“Uh…it’s definitely not me to ask, but I just somehow feel like asking, but uh, did you two had some history….
“No. Aside from a friendly competition on being the first in rank, we aren’t mutual.” Rena answered firmly, which was half a lie, but half true at the same time.
“Okay....”
“She’s pretty isn’t she?” Rena did not know how that managed to slipped from her lips, plus it sounded like some horrible, controlling lover. Wait, lover? What in the world—
“Uhh….”
“Forget that, I wasn’t thinking straight. It just blurted out and I don’t even know wh—“
“Do you like me?”
Never. Never in Rena’s life had she faced such a frank question that made her heart felt like it was being electrocuted. Rena have to admit, meeting and getting to know Jurina was a wonderful distress. Wonderful, because it was the first time Rena befriended a person who was seemingly too interesting and yet colourless in an unexplainable way. And their friendship amazingly starts at the rooftop, which makes her ponder if it was fate. Day by day, getting to know this intriguing character of Jurina, the fondness somewhere inside seemingly increases and—
“You don’t have to answer,”
Did Rena’s ear deceived her, or did she heard a small sigh as Jurina switch back to her old position, facing the opposite of her. The short conversation ends there.
-
“Tell me again, why do I have to go to this party again?” Jurina gritted her teeth while looking annoyingly at the mirror.
From head to toe, Jurina is lavishly being worn in a pale orange dress, with white pearls bracelet clasped on her right wrist. Her hair was also being made, as in, being combed in a ‘proper neat way’, according to what the maid, Kanaco, said earlier. Jurina had mentally jumped over the cliff in a repeating manner for the past few minutes after staring at her own herself through the mirror.
“It’s not just a party. It’s a large banquet for Mr Watanabe huge success over his booming sales. And, like any other businessmen and merchants who got invited, this is a huge chance for a pep talk promotion with one another,” explained Rena as she gazed at Jurina who was still staring horridly at herself at the mirror, “and besides, you look amazing to me.”
A warm feeling radiates through Jurina’s cheeks and she wished that her cheeks didn’t show off any possible signs of turning red. Rena could be very very frank at times, but sometimes, she would just be silence and not utter a word, which makes it more confusing, especially on the convo that nigh—“
“The car’s ready,” one of the maids rapped the door.
-
Multiple huge white tents being set out at the enormous backyard of Mr Watanabe’s manor. Following with laughters, and somehow an Arabic tune being played from the huge speakers. Jurina felt slightly awkward as she walked upon many, many strangers dressing up to date and speaking in a business language while their sons and their daughters stood diligently by their side, with a small smile while nodding to what the other is saying.
Jurina was being introduced a couple of times tonight as some of the people took an interest upon her, probably knowing, who the heck is this girl. It’s been already decided by Rena’s father earlier, that Jurina would be known as Rena’s cousin, which makes it not really that pretentious since they both do, share the same surname. If it wasn’t for Mr Matsui, who has been very generous towards Jurina for the past couple of weeks, she wouldn’t have agreed when he asked her to come to this event with him.
“If there’s a cute girl, hit her up for me,” Nakanishi repeatedly reminded the same thing.
There were loads. But most of them look less adventurous and more of a I-am-the-obedient-child look, unlike the girl besides her who’s gazing intently at a fountain ahead.
“Dad, can you excuse us for a while. I want to take some drinks,” said Rena and her dad hastily nodded as he was deeply in a conversation with two other men. “Cmon Jurina.”
Rena grabbed Jurina’s hand and they carefully walked passed all the crowded people and headed to the fountain. The fountain was radiating different shades of light from purple to sapphire blue and in the depths, there seems to be lots of coins, supposing these rich people have nothing to do with their pennies, resulting it to be thrown in at the fountain.
“Have you heard a story that if you make a wish and throw a coin inside a fountain, your wish will come true?” Rena asked, her brown orbs absorbed in the fountains.
“Umm, I lack of reading fictional books when I was a kid, but uhh, I think I might know—“
“Wanna try?”
Jurina need not answer as Rena was already fussing on her purse, taking out a coin for herself and for Jurina. Rena then calmly closed her eyes and and a few seconds later, she tossed it inside the fountain. This is definitely some sort of a superstitious thing, thought Jurina to herself.
“You don’t wanna do it?” prodded Rena, sounding a little down.
Jurina heaved a sigh and hold grasped the coin while she mentally make a wish for a happy life, and throw the coin inside. Quite amusing, Jurina thought, after she had tossed the coin in, Jurina felt like tossing more somehow. What magic is this fountain doing to her?
“What did you wish for?” Rena promptly asked, “ah, let me guess. Is it, ‘I hope I can get out from this place asap’ or ‘Can the people around me talk in a language that I could understand?’”
Rena laughed at her own jokes, which somehow managed to crook a smile on Jurina’s lips. “Yeah, something like that. And what did you wish for?”
“Having a life where I would not look back to the past and keep moving forward happily with a person I care about,” Rena answered simply with a smile.
“Shouldn’t I be the one to wish that? Jurina prompt teasingly, “I suppose I might have to make another wish again.”
Rena grinned and about to fished out another coin from her purse when two other guests stood beside them at the fountain. You could say, both hers and Rena’s smile vanished somewhat.
“Jurina, you didn’t told me you would come to this event too,” Annin jokingly punched her arm, “and you look great. So feminine I must say.”
Again, Jurina felt like jumping from the highest cliff. Annin was wearing a smooth purple satin dress, and her hair was being draped on her right side, making her look very stunning. But not as stunning as Rena, Jurina’s mind mentally added on.
“Quite a surprise to see you here,” Takuya stood beside Annin, staring defiantly at Jurina, “you should be thankful to Rena’s father for bringing you to this elite banquet. I don’t think you would stand a chance to come here if it wasn’t for her father.”
“Takuya!” Rena exclaimed, “can you stop being rude to her for a second!”
“What…” Takuya shrugs and throw another shady look at Jurina, but instantly say no more.
“By the way,”Annin continued, “I heard the news. Congratulations Rena. And oh, you too Takuya.” Rena looked puzzled and could not comprehended what Annin meant, and so does Jurina.
“What do you mean?”
Takuya suddenly cleared his voice in the most feigning way and made a jaw dropping statement, “Haven’t you heard Rena? We’re getting engaged.”
“What??”

Silence engulfed in the car as they went back home. A restraining air floats around between Rena and Mr Matsui, making Jurina and Mr Yoko quite uncomfortable. Jurina relished what happened earlier after she and Rena found out about the engagement.
“Rena, where are you going?” Jurina asked as she pursues the girl ahead her, scurrying among the crowds in haste.
“To my dad,” Rena answered, her eyes searching the crowd. And later, just a few meters ahead, talking with 2 other men in posh suits, was her father.
“Excuse me, dad…”
“Oh, Rena, Jurina,” Mr Matsui spoke cheerfully, maybe a little tipsy by the wine he’s holding, “Are you enjoying your time here?”
“We need to talk. Now.”
“…I can’t believe it. How could you?” Jurina overheard Rena’s voice was about to crack. Jurina stood cautiously a few meters away from the two of them, making sure no one would walk to the direction where the two were having an argument.
“What do you mean? I’m doing this for you. Why are you sounding so disappointed? I thought you liked him.” A confuse yet frustrated tone of Mr Matsui could be heard upon her daughter’s disagreement. “You and Takuya have known each other for quite a time now. And his father and Takuya himself is more than happy about this decision.”
An exasperated sigh escaped from Rena, “Just because we’ve known each other for a long time, doesn’t mean I want him to be my fiancée!”
After a few speechless moment, Rena walk away with teary eyes and Jurina worriedly follow suit.
After Jurina washed her face, she went out from the washroom to find Rena staring outside. Her expression reflects from the window showed a blank expression. One that is hard yet easy to comprehend. Jurina approached her from behind.
“Hey,”
Rena shuddered as she felt Jurina’s hand on her shoulder. She wondered how long had she been standing vacantly on the same spot. “Hmm?”
“You okay?”
Jurina knew the moment it slipped from her mouth, she knew, it was one of the most stupidest thing to ask. Rena turned facing her, her eyes portraying an undefined gloom, eyes glistening with tears, she embrace Jurina, who moved a few steps back at the sudden impact.
They were at the same position, while Jurina awkwardly stroke Rena’s hair. She felt Rena’s warm tears soaked in her shoulder as she silently sobbed. Jurina thought it was best for her to not ask anything yet at the moment regarding the frustrating matter. Yes, it was clearly frustrating. The news. Jurina pondered on how could she felt this much of irritation upon the news, and soon realize later that she had actually felt for this girl, Rena.
Jurina was very much aware of the girl’s presence for the past 2 months. She had not noticed anything strange within herself, but lately, something about that Takuya’s presence and the recent news, stirred something inside. Inside her heart to be much clearer. But who is she? Who is she comparing to a wealthy family alike Takuya and Rena. She does not deserve to have these silly feelings. Why? Of all times, why now? She questions herself.
Rena soon released her embrace and apologizes for her sudden action as she stared down in embarrassment.
“It’s late. We should head to sleep,” spoke Rena as she brushed the remaining of her tears using her sleeve.
“Sleep? You’re only saying this after you soaked my shoulders with you waterworks,”Jurina teased, trying to cheer the girl up, only to receive a light punch on her shoulder with a now, smiling, Rena.
The news soon flies fast within the school. Some people who knew that Jurina is currently associating with Rena, bravely approached her to confirmed whether the news about the engagement was true. Only to get a shrug or silence as a reply.
Jurina also saw that one time, that particular one time, where she went to the drink machine, as she had a sudden crave for hot chocolate. She saw Takuya with his clique gloating around, saying that his engagement ceremony would be one of the most magnificent throughout Japan. Show off brat, thought Jurina.
Rena was dealing the sudden confrontation of the news in a quite different way. Avoiding giving clear answers and only managing a small shrug or a smile towards the students asking her.
“I don’t get it.” Airin spoke as she put both hands under her chin, “I thought you weren’t into him. How could both of you be getting engaged soon?”
“I myself don’t get it too, Airin,”answered Rena as she puts her book inside her bag.
“I see…” Airin pondered own her own but soon pointed out at the girl waiting for Rena outside their class, “How does that girl feel? I thought both of you might
have had something…”
Rena slings her bag and looked outside her class to find Jurina leaning against the wall outside of her class. A smile crept upon her face as she stood up.
“Why aren’t you with Annin?”
The first question Jurina was given as she walked at the hall, heading outside of the school compound. “Huh? I don’t get your question…”
“Well, you were always with her last week during the semi-finals. Both of you looked quite inseparable to me,” voiced Rena as she tried to wipe out any trace of jealousy.
“We were helping each other out for the upcoming papers,” answered Jurina truthfully, “and you were being the same way too. Weren’t you and Takuya were so attached last week?”
“What? We weren’t attached!”
“So was I !” stated Jurina, defending herself. Seeing the conversation were heading in a pointless road, both of them gave up and silence retreat them.
Jurina saw Takuya and some of his cliques ahead at the guard’s house, waiting for the car. She also noticed a quite displease look on Rena’s face as she saw the view ahead of them. Jurina did not know how she came upon such an idea, but she boldly suggest, “Wanna take another route back home for a change?”
A bright, mischievous grin from Rena was already enough for an answer and so they went along.
Behind their school, there was a back entrance but it was already locked since the teachers thought it would be much safer for the students to go back home using the front gate since the guard could have a lookout more clearly there.
Jurina who used this route multiple times especially when she was late to school discovered another way to enter the school grounds, which was through a hole-like dry drain, filled with dead leafs. The secret entrance remains unnoticed by the school, but a couple of students, including Jurina knew about it.
“This is totally unreal” Rena expressed as she and Jurina crouched down a little on the drain as they walked outside the hole separating the school and the outside.
Jurina extend her hand and hoist Rena up from the hole and there they were on the back street. “Are you liking this small adventure so far?”
“You bet,”
Rena alleged Mr Yoko soon with a text, saying that she will be back home a little bit late, and do not worry on transport as she already got one. Mr Yoko only replied with an ‘Okay’ added on with a wink.
They planned to go back home by bus, but before that, they went to one of Jurina’s favourite store where she used to buy her chocolate bun every morning when she came to school. Jurina thought Rena would like it, since there was also melonpan being sold over there, knowing how Rena has a huge dorky likings for it. Jurina also have not been visiting the place for almost a month as she has been living with Rena now.
After buying a favourable amount of buns, which melonpan exceeds more than anything, Jurina decided to bring Rena to the Hatsumori Park, which meant The Park Of Beginnings. The park was not far from Jurina’s old flat, and it was just few metres away from her part-time workplace.
They sat on the bench provided from the park and munch on the buns they just bought. The autumn wind blew making them sitting more closer to one another.
“I’m sorry on what you have gone these past few days,” Rena spoke as she wiped her mouth with a spare handkerchief, “Knowing you, it must have been utterly annoying for the students to ask you this and that about me.
“Tch, you bet. I almost felt like choking them at one point,” joked Jurina, but then she changed to a serious tone, “But I know you’re having it worse than I do. Sorry I couldn’t do anything for you.”
“It’s okay. It’s not like the students weren’t expecting this engagement thing to happen,” sighed Rena, but then an amused look came upon her face, “but aren’t you being quite nice to me lately? I almost said ‘Aww you’re so sweet’ when you apologized.”
“Why? Can’t I be sweet to you for an exchange at the moment? Oh, I forgot, you preferred Takuya being sweet to you, isn’t it?” mocked Jurina.
Jurina received another small punch from Rena but what she said later almost made her off guard. “I like the sweet Jurina. Jurina who waits for me after school, Jurina who replied to my answers sarcastically or in an expressionless way, Jurina who acts cold yet kind, Jurina who take me out in this small adventure….”
Seeing how she had express herself way too much, Rena looked down at her shoes, gripping the bench tight, with face as red as a tomato. Whilst Jurina, feeling her heart almost leapt out of her cage, remains quite for a few seconds before saying, “I like Rena too.”
-
Wah.. I'm waiting for your update Marco-san..
And wow I can't believe that finally Jurina realize her feeling toward Rena..
I really love the cold but kind Jurina.. :inlove:

Back with a new chapt ! After posting this, I just realized I didn't explained more what's the current status between rena and jurina lol shall make it clear on the next fic. Btw I was wondering last night, I mean the people who comment on my fic, I wonder where you guys are from? :grin: Anyways, thanks for the comment. Really appreciate every single bit :thumbsup
Ms Shinoda, the caretaker who looked after her at pre-school, held her hand firmly, as they walk along the lane. Her parents usually would pick her up quite late, but this time it was already nightfall and suddenly she decided to bring Jurina here. The walls were white and there were glass pane from left to right. Some tinted and some not. They reached at the end of the corridor and stopped at the door which hung a sign above stating ‘Morgue’
Jurina pondered why Ms Shinoda seems to hesitate on stepping inside the room. She was gripping Jurina’s hand more tightly that it starts to get hurt.
“Shinoda-san? Where are we?” squeaked Jurina, as she saw the frowning lines on her caretakers’ forehead. “What are we doing here? Where’s mom and dad?”
“Jurina…” Ms Shinoda sat on one knee and gripped her shoulder, her forehead formed lines of frown as she bit her lip, “your parents are inside. They’ve been in a car accident… this afternoon.”
So? Does that mean her parents are hurt? She must go inside now, Jurina thought, and she quickly turned the doorknob, thus greeted with cold air that crepts on her skin. She was met with two tray-like beds, with white cloth covering the physique underneath.
“Jurina…” faint voice of her caretaker called her out as she gradually walk towards the bed. Her hands reach out to remove the white cloth covering the body. The fabric, gripped in her hand, steadily took off bit by bit, and finally she saw the horrid figure’s upper part. Mom. Bruises covering her mom’s head, and nose slightly broken with eyes shut tight.
“Mom, wake up, why are you sleeping?” whispered Jurina as she touched the pale, cold hands of her mother. Her mom did not answered nor stirred. Only Ms Shinoda’s small sob could be heard from behind.
No, Jurina thought, and her eyes wandered off at the other body lay beside, Dad, is that you? Her baby steps slowly make her way towards the other figure, but after a split second, the body suddenly sat upright and Jurina fell down to the floor in shocked and screamed—
Jurina breathed heavily, sweat trickled down her forehead as she sat up from the bed, waking up the girl beside her. Nightmares. This wasn’t the first time she had this nightmare. When Jurina was way younger, the same dream played twice a week, but it has been long gone for years and now, the stupid dream scared her once again.
“Jurina, are you alright? You’re sweating.” Rena’s worried expression could be seen underneath the shadow of the lamp post lights reflecting from the curtains.
“I’m okay. Just some silly dream,” she muttered as she pats Rena’s shoulder to assure her. Jurina wasn’t sure if Rena was convinced, but Rena lay down again and told Jurina to do the same. That night Jurina slept once more, with her right arm being held by Rena, feeling reassured and safe once again.
“The forms that I hand out to you, I want all of you to fill them out and hand this to me tomorrow and I will discuss individually with you based on your choice,” the class teacher, Mrs Takahashi explained to the class.
Jurina stared at the paper and at the 3 columns beneath, asking the choice of University or College that Jurina would like to attend. She had thought about this before. Her mind was already set on where she would want to pursue her studies at as she decided to work part times. Keio University. Even her parents were also once former students from the Law Department and like them, Jurina would pursue the in the same department.
Some teachers and staff had also recommended Jurina to apply for Keio as they knew the potential within her. The only problem was the fees, which is why Jurina studied hard to get a scholarship. She would not make it if she only uses her part time job wage. But Jurina had already applied a few scholarships with the help of her class teacher the other week, based on her results from the trials. It now depends on the upper to decide.
“Still thinking or you’re set?”
Annin stood beside her desk with a smile as she looked at Jurina’s unreadable expression. She then, sat at the empty chair in front of her, facing Jurina.
“By the look on your face Jurina, I’m predicting Keio.” Jurina wondered if Annin saw the slight surprised look on her face on her correct guess. “I overheard Takahashi Sensei talked to the teachers the other day about you, applying for scholarship. And I heard some Keio too I suppose.”
“And where are you applying?” Jurina asked as she slumbers back on her chair, arms crossed, “Taking up your father’s business?”
A puzzling playful smile crooked at the corner of Annin’s lips, “Supposed to. But I’m also thinking of taking up law at the moment. But I can’t decide whether to Keio or Waseda.”
“Either way, you’ll still manage to enter both. The only difference is Waseda is private whilst Keio is not,” clarified Jurina, but a question pops in her mind, “but why Law? You should be taking business and commerce or something.”
“There’s no righteousness in life, Jurina. There are things that people all around would want to claim and attain. Equality, Fairness and the most important is, Justice. There are things that I want to achieve, things that I want to see it brought back to light. You would understand one day, maybe?”
Annin then stood and went back to her seat. Her deep words mulled over Jurina’s thoughts for a moment. This girl sure have some sort of avenge going on in her mind. Creepy, yet interesting at the same time.
Since the incident where she and Jurina snuck back out together, Takuya did not fail to wait outside of Rena’s class once school was over, much to her and Jurina’s displease. But today, she didn’t expect Takuya’s feigning presence to be absent outside her class, but he really wasn’t there, much to Rena’s relief.
Her eyes quickly scan the corridor for the jet black hair girl, only to feel a twinge of annoyance as she spot Annin somewhat patting Jurina’s shoulder in a ‘friendly’ way as they stood facing each other.
“I like Rena too…”
Did she hear it right? No, it must have been a dream. I’m imagining her saying this am I? This is definitely not Jurina. The Jurina I knew wouldn’t be bluntly speaking out her feelings. N-No this is a lie.
“Rena?” Jurina’s voice sound soft and slightly worried at the same time. “Are you okay? Is it too much to you for me to say it? I’m s-sorr—“
Rena did not know what came upon her mind at that time. Rena was a bold person, and yes, she knew about that trait of hers. But she did not know she was this bold, as she hastily closed the space between her lips and Jurina.
Warm. The pair of velvet meeting with hers was warm and somewhat unexplainable, and this might sound exaggerating, but really at the moment, she felt the insides of hers melts into liquid. They stay stuck at the same position for a few more seconds, not moving an inch, before Rena pull herself away. Embarrassment fills her as she looked way, not wanting to meet eyes with the girl beside her.
“S-Sorry…” Rena apologized in a hush tone, eyes still looking anywhere else other than Jurina. But she felt those pair of eyes still staring at her.
“That was your first kiss right?” Jurina asked intently.
“H-How did you kn—?”
“It was my first too.”
A warm feeling settled as she reminisce that moment, but the twinge feeling was still there as she saw Annin part ways with Jurina with a somewhat alluring smile. Rena was about to head to Jurina when she heard a voice calling out her name from behind. And oh-such-a-familiar-voice.
“Rena, wait up !” Takuya’s booming voice sounded closer, even the students looked behind and make way.
Rena knew Takuya too well that he liked to make a scene of everything, but she did not expect that Takuya was going to back hug her and peck her cheek. The crowded cat called and wooed and Rena quickly released herself from Takuya’s embrace, giving him a disgust look which went unnoticed as he was gleaming proudly at himself. But Rena did not miss the slight bitterness of Jurina’s expression as their eyes met for a second.
“Jurina, are you okay? You’ve been mulling over this dough for ages, and look at the mess of flours you made on the floor!” exclaimed Nakanishi, as she scratched her head.
“Ah, sorry. I was spacing out,” Jurina quickly took a rag and wipe out the dots of flour. Stop messing with me, head ! Jurina mentally scolded to herself as she tried to wipe out the scene of Takuya and Rena earlier which kept replaying for a bgzillionth time, much to her displease.
“Something wrong with you and your girl?” Nakanishi trying to dig as she sense something was off with this worker of hers. But only to get a “Nah” as an answer.
Masanya later than walks in, holding a newspaper folded on one side, as she mutters to herself as she reads it. “Wow. Jurina, that friend of yours who pick you up in the bike, she’s a daughter of this man right?”
Masanya shoved the news on Jurina’s face which took quite a while for her to properly see the head tittle of the news. “IRIYAMA YUUYA CO. TO OPEN UP A MALL AT MAEBASHI-KEN” Beneath the headlines was the CEO himself, Iriyama Yuuya, posing for the camera with a celebrated architect, shaking hands.
Familiar. His face was very familiar. Had Jurina seen him somewhere? Maybe he was in the news often, but then Jurina does not read newspaper that much, nor watch TV. This familiarity is quite the same when she met Rena’s dad, Mr Matsui for the first time. And she was left to ponder for a moment, beforing Masanya asked her again whether it is Annin’s dad which Jurina reply with a nod, and continued back to work.

Thankyou again for reading and commenting ! Here's Chapter 10 !
Clothes, check. Undergarments, check. Toiletries, check. What else is she missing out, Rena stared at her baggage and she gazed upon the small black luggage beside her, already propped seemingly done. She, Rena, tends to be forgetful at times. Especially in time of needs and that memory will insert to her at the last minute, or maybe after she slaps herself in the face a couple of times. Painful yet helpful.
She thought upon the owner of the black luggage and quickly propped up to her feet and slide the sliding door open, meeting the veranda. Greeted with a scenery of her backyard, it took her just a few seconds to discover Jurina, laying on the grass, facing the sky with a cat on her stomach. It was rather chilly outside since it was still a couple of minutes after sunrise. Rena motioned her hand, waving, to catch Jurina’s attention, to no avail.
“Jurina !” she called out and the black haired girl looked upon her with questioning look. “Have you done with your packing?”
Jurina raise her thumbs up to signal she was done and held the cats in her arm before standing up and headed to the veranda, “Why? Aren’t you done yet? I thought you’ve finished earlier than me?”
“I can’t recall, but I think I still forgot to bring something.,” Rena vent out her frustration.
“Yourself, I suppose.” Jurina showed her rare smile, which resembles a cheshire cat to Rena, before releasing the cat and walk inside.
“…What time would you be back here in Nagoya? You should tell Mr Yoko the schedule so he can pick you right on time from the station…”
All three of them were in the car, putting aside Mr Yoko who is driving. Mr Matsui had his last minute plan and decided to send both of them off to the bullet train station, where all the other students were gathering there too. Yup, all the four classes in Jurina’s grade are going to their last field trip in Tokyo. Well not all, since it acquires paying, and some of them would rather stay at home, studying or some sort. Jurina was quite reluctant to go, but both Mr Matsui and Rena insisted and she felt in debt again towards Mr Matsui, for the utmost, since he voluntarily pays for Jurina’s fees too.
“So, exactly how many students are going for this trip? And the teachers?” Mr Matsui asked, directing the question to the two of them, in which Rena replied with a shrug.
Rena still seems to be giving her dad the cold shoulder after what happened at the banquet party some nights ago. She still did not believe her dad would agree to such a thing without consulting her.
“Umm….” Jurina was left to answer, “I think about 25 students, and 3 teachers if I’m not mistaken.”
“I see….” Mr Matsui then looked outside the window once more, a small sigh escapes.
Jurina leaned against one of the walls, with her earphones plugged in, watching the lively conversations between Churi and Rena. Most of the students going for this trip are generally kids with money. In other words, sons and daughters of business affairs, doctors and some other namely things. The trip cost quite a lot, even by the price of the ticket for this bullet train could already feed the poor for 2 weeks.
As Jurina drone on her ears with some soothing music, she faintly heard someone calling her name from the distance and tried to search upon the crowd for the source of voice. She plug of her earphone and the caller call out her name again, and now she can vividly see the mysterious beauty, Annin. By her side, a familiar looking tall man whom she saw on the paper last week follow suit.
“Takahiro….” Mr Iriyama’s deep voice, greeted them, calling out for Mr Matsui.
A slight surprised look from Mr Matsui could be seen as he turned to the direction of the person calling his first name, but he relaxed his composure as he greeted back, “Yuuya, it’s been a quite a time, I’m sure.”
“It was. The last time we met was at my releasement party, if I’m not mistaken,” Mr Iriyama carved a smile, and he lay his eyes on Rena and hers. “Hello Rena, it’s been a long time you did not see me too I suppose, and you, my daughter here have told me a lot about you. Matsui Jurina, isn’t it?”
“Yes sir,” Jurina answered as she shook hands with Mr Iriyama. His hands were firm and cold, probably due to the weather. But something about this man meditate upon her thoughts. Jurina noticed there was small scar on his left eyebrow, resulting to no small hair growing at it.
“Have you been well?” Mr Iriyama asked her promptly, “You’ve been living with Takahiro for a quite a time if I’m not mistaken? Such a rare occasion of him, isn’t—“
Jurina felt her shoulder being firmly gripped from behind. By the looks of it, it was by Mr Matsui. “Haven’t you heard the rumors of myself being a generous man, Yuuya?” Mr Matsui feigns a joking tone.
“Very. Generous enough to live me behi—“
“Students !! Gather around now ! Form in lines ! I’m about to hand out your tickets here.”
By the notice from the teacher, both the two adults got distracted and left their deep conversation to a halt as they pestered on their own child. Before leaving, Mr Iriyama came to her and said, “Take care” but the most puzzling thing is, when he wished her, “Good luck upon your decision to take Law. I suppose you will do great just like your parents.” And off he went away.
They sat at their reserved seats,which was in three, and Jurina took the seat next to the window. According to the statement in the tickets, it will take around 2hours and 40 minutes to reached Tokyo and a part of Jurina remains giddy as this would be the second time, according to her memory, that she will set foot in Tokyo. The last time she went there, her parents was still with her.
As the bullet train moves in great speed, she stared outside as rows of buildings quickly passes by. Jurina’s mind went astray to what Mr Iriyama said to her earlier, “I suppose you will do great just like your parents” Does Mr Iriyama knew her parents? Were they some sort of an old acquaintances or something. Jurina had a huge feeling that she had met Mr Iriyama before but she does not know when, and the same goes to Mr Matsui. And speaking of Mr Matsui, he and Annin’s father seems to sort of have some tension between each other, not that Jurina really care, but the strain was quite transparent.
Jurina could not sleep throughout the journey and continue to stare outside with ears plugged in once more. She shuddered later as she felt a head bumped on her shoulder, and a book fell to the floor. Jurina quickly pick up the book and put it on her lap, and softly arrange Rena’s head position on her shoulder in a comfortable way.
The Little Prince. The book Rena was reading, if Jurina was not mistaken, she had saw Rena read this back then at the rooftop. Such a small book, not quite many of a page yet Rena seems to be fond of it. Jurina then made a mental note to ask what was so interesting about the contains later when Rena wakes up.
A group of boys could be heard from behind, shuffling their way to the front, probably heading to the washroom. Jurina increased the volume on her ipod, as the boys were being quite loud for her to even hear the music. But then Jurina felt a tap on her lap, Churi nod off to the boy facing them.
“If I was Mr Matsui, I wouldn’t be so generous to make you hop in to this trip,” taunted Takuya with his smirk, “You really are considered as lucky.”
“I guess I am. And I really am luckier than you in terms of this…” Jurina indicates to Rena who is still sleeping on her shoulder, while gripping Jurina’s arm.
An unpleasant look appeared on Takuya’s ever so proud face. He take one look at Jurina before threatening, “Do not mess with me, orphan.”
They went their way, walking at the streets of Shibuya with their backpacks on their back, and dragging their luggage, heading towards their hotel which was 7 minutes away from the station. As they arrived, the teachers checked-in and told them to grab one partner as their roommate as she was about to hand out the keys.
Rena was slightly worried if Jurina might have wanted to become roommates with Annin, not that she doesn’t trust Jurina, but she very well doesn’t trust Annin. But then Jurina came to her and spoke in a hush tone, “I don’t think you would like seeing me being in the same room with other people, especially you-know-who” Rena grins, agreeing on the fact.
They were told to meet back at the lobby an hour later, so at the moment, they settle down and unpack the load. Well, Rena was the only one diligently doing it. Jurina lay on her front, head buried in the pillow.
“Why do you look so tired?” asked Rena, walking back and forth from the washroom, putting her toiletries.
“Why? You’re asking me why?” muffled Jurina in her pillow, she then lay on her back and, “because I’ve been frozen on the same position for an hour on the train, that’s why.”
Rena expression turns amuse, “Are you saying that it’s my fault?”
“I’m not saying anything.”
“Let me massage your shoulder as a payback on you for lending me your shoulder,”Rena walk and sat on the bed, forcefully trying to pull Jurina to sit straight, who decided to play log. After one final attempt to pull Jurina, it was Rena instead who fell face forward on Jurina, their forehead bumping each other.
Realizing their rather dangerous position, Rena tried to pull herself back up but slumped back when a pair of arms encircles her waist. Rena could clearly feel her heart thumping fast and so was the other girl. Their eyes reflecting one another, with unspeakable words, both of their lips make the first move at the same time, grazing one another in a soft kiss. Rena hoist both of her legs on the bed, positioning herself more comfortably above Jurina as their kiss escalates. But shortly to be interrupted, when someone knocked their door in a quite furious manner.
They quickly disentangle from their position, Jurina buried her head on the pillow once more, covering the steaming red of her face, whilst Rena went and see annoying disruptor. The door opened, revealing Takuya with a sweet smile that melt others, but not hers, “Hello my sweet.”
