声をきかせて ; Chapter Two
「Destiny has its ways; even when you're unaware of it.」
"It's like....he's not the not there anymore. He's not the same person that I..." The wind blew between the trees and whistled through the branches
"Maybe...I wasn't the one that was going to change him...Maybe I was just a friend and nothing more." The wind was still restless as she typed on her laptop pressing letter by letter but then...
"What comes next?" She said as her fingers were cold from typing continuously on the laptop, she brought them to her mouth and breathed out to keep them warm but it simply wasn't working. "It's getting cold..." She sighed as she closed her laptop and placed it in her bag after that was done she stretched out her arms while a drop of white fluff fell from the sky.
"If I'm not the one who opens his heart then maybe she will. She will shine light in his heart and show him the way, and when that happens..." She closed her eyes and tilted her head down
"The real contest begins...and I will definitely see to that"

"And another thing, if you had a problem with the customers you should have came to see me!" The man who stood behind the counter yelled at Riika who was getting scolded after the incident in room 145. "I know, but I thought I could--" Riika was about to answer but she was cut off "You always think you can, but when you actually try your thoughts backfire on you!" He yelled more harshly at Riika couldn't handle this anymore "I quit." She said tossing her apron and walking out the door when she reached the footsteps of the entrance the girls from before were staring at her with sympathetic eyes; she rolled her eyes at them and walked away. "You know..." The one named Mai blurted out but in a more relaxed tone than usual, Riika didn't want to look back so she kept on walking. "We're Sorry..." She said, Riika thought she might as well turn around and as she did she saw all of them bowing with forgiveness. "We're very sorry." Ai bowed her head more than others "It's okay...I guess that job wasn't worth it."She sighed and turned around, Mai shot up her head and followed her "Where are you going?" She grabbed Riika's arm and smiled "I'm going to look for a job...I need to live." She said didn't bother to look down at Mai, "Why don't you take a break and hang out with us?" Mai said but Riika didn't find that idea very charming at all "Persistent aren't you? How old are you anyways?" Riika tried to shake Mai off her arm "Yeah. I think introductions are needed!" Mai smiled and walked back to Ai, Kohaku, and Rhea.
"Hi!
My name is Yoshida Mai.
I'm a Second Year Junior Student. I like Singing & Dancing and I wish to compete in the singing contest hosted by Hey! Say! 7" She smiled.
"How are you doing?
My name is Sakamoto Ai.
I'm a Third Year Senior Student. I will be attending Tokyo University and majoring in Literature." The girl who was the quietest spoke out and bowed.
When it came to the girl who was the closest to Ai, she didn't bother talking. "Your turn" She nudged her
"Aizawa Kohaku.
I'm Second Year Senior Student. I speak different languages...I play a lot of instruments and ... I'm planning to attend Tokyo University." The one with the attitude shrugged her shoulders.
"It's my turn!" The one with the camera smiled "My name is Kagamito Rhea. I'm a First Year Senior Student. I love photography! I love sports and I only know 3 years of Japanese." She smiled and Riika widen her eyes "We're the same age! You seem to known Japanese all your life." Riika smiled
"Well...I guess it's my turn.
My name is Irie Riika. I'm a First Year Senior Student, not much to say about me." She laughed, but then shook her head "So, I guess I'll see you around." She waved behind her and walked away. "Eh...I thought we were off to a good start." Rhea put her hands behind her back and looked at Riika walking away, Kohaku just sighed and turned around "The less the better..." Kohaku said to herself but it was loud enough for Ai to hear it which made her a little sad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Crap I'm late!" A girl said running along the sidewalk trying to divert the people in her way "Ah! Watch Out!" She screamed to the bunch of people in front of her."Huh?" They all turned around and saw the girl running their way, the last thing they saw was a girl with Black and Brown hair who collided into them. "Sorry!" The girl closed one eye and looked at the people in front of her.
"It's okay; I think it's our fault for standing in the middle of the street." One of the person who the girl bumped into said as she brought up her head she saw the girl's face clearly "Aa...Sempai." One of the girl's said lying on the floor and looked at the girl "Ah, Mai! Long time no see." She smiled.
They all stood up and brushed the dirt off their clothes. "Mai, Forgive me! I was meeting a friend." The girl clapped her hands together "It's my fault Sempai!" Mai bowed her head while the other girls were confused "Grace!" A boy from the Community Center called out "Ryutaro!" The girl named Grace turned around and called with joy "Ryutaro..." Mai repeated quietly, Grace turned around and said good-bye. "Grace! What took you so long?! I've been waiting for you for a long time..." Ryutaro complained and Grace laughed. From a distance Kohaku, Ai, and Rhea walked up to Mai "Mai, Who was that?" Ai asked while watching Mai's depressed face. "Oh...it's my Sempai...We went to the same school together. She was great..." Mai tried to smile at the girl "And the guy?" Kohaku asked insensitively and Mai instantly frown "A friend...Just a friend." Mai turned around and started walking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I feel bad guys." Yuto sighed with his back against the glass window looking over his shoulder, Yamada looked at him but didn't say anything "Why?" He suddenly said while fixing his bag, Yuto turned his head and stared at Yamada. "That girl got fired." He said while his arms were crossed giving a serious tone "It's not our fault." Yamada sighed and threw his bag over his shoulders and grabbed his jacket heading for the door. "Okay, I'll see you guys around" He sighed and walked out the door, Yuto was stared at the door and back over his shoulders. "I saw Mai today!" Grace smiled as she sat on the floor with Ryutaro, while Keito was packing up with Chinen assisting him. "Who's Mai?" Ryutaro looked at Grace with a confused look; but she sighed to her response "Don't you remember her? She's in the same grade as you." Grace pouted at his remark "Oh...How is she doing?" Ryutaro said playing with his phone flipping the screen "She's fine, she made a few friends...She was standing outside the building with a couple of girls. She really turned into a beautiful girl." Grace smiled and looked at Ryutaro.
"I see...I saw her a few minutes ago. She got a girl fired over a disagreement." Ryutaro sighed and looked at Grace; she looked at him with a wondrous look "Want to go get something to eat?" He smiled at her "Sempai?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I think I've seen that girl around before.." Rhea sighed as she stirred her straw in her cup of water "Really?" Mai said taking a sip of her strawberry milkshake. Rhea nodded her head "I think in the Photography club." She said just then a girl came up to them "Okay, So that's -- Oh are you serious...?" The girl sighed
"It's You!" Mai opened her eyes
"Nice to see you again!" Ai smiled
"I guess we really did meet again" Rhea leaned back and smiled while Kohaku kept quiet.
