Arin sighed, "Ula, I already told you! There is nothing going on between me and Kaien." Arin muttered as she pushed her books into the locker and closed it. "Aw! I think he likes you though." Ula wiggled her eyebrows.
Arin chuckled at her friend, "So? I mean, he is cool.. but. I am not interested in him."
Ula pushed her bottom lip out in a pout. "Man, I was so hoping.." she muttered. Arin smacked her friend and continued to stroll down the hallway and towards the school's exit. "Well, my mom is picking me up today." said Ula glancing at her watch. "Bye." she hugged Arin and ran off, bursting through the doors to the outside.
Arin waved and continued to walk slowly. It was when she had time alone that she began to think, 'I wonder, maybe Ula is right.. what if Kaien really does like me.' Arin tried not to think about it.
'No! I can't assume that..I..I can't.' she shook her head and cleared the thoughts from her head. As she was recovering from her thoughts she heard someone shout out her name. Arin ignored it at first, but then it came again:
"Satsuki-san!!!!"
Arin looked up at the person who was charging towards her. 'Oh man. What the heck does Jinkei-san want?' she rolled her eyes in annoyance. "What?" she asked.
Damion panted, "Hey, I need to ask you somethin.." he was bent over, leaning on his knees and breathing hard. "Are you in need.." he paused. "Of a job?" he looked up at her from under his bishie cut hair.
Arin shifted the messenger bag so that the strap was now going from one shoulder across her chest and to her hip.
"Well, I don't have a job..and I did want to get one soon." she paused thumbing the strap of her bag.
"Why?" Arin asked looking him in his sky blue eyes. He looked straight back at her; he slowly stood to his full height from his bent position. "Because, we need a maid to help cook. Details will be explained later." he grinned.
Instantly Arin's face dropped, "Pass." she held her hand up as she said it. Damion moaned, "Aww! Come on Satsuki-san!"
"Ask someone else." she said and brushed past him in annoyance. "Please!!" his begging voice made her stop in her tracks. Arin gritted her teeth and then asked: "Have you asked anyone else?"
"Yeah, every freakin' girl in out class, and they said they can't..." Damion's voice got more and more pathetic as he spoke. Arin closed her eyes in frustration. "Fine." Arin agreed before she knew what she was doing.
"REALLY?!" Damion shouted with joy and ran towards her, he wrapped his arms around her in a hug and squeezed her tightly.
"GAK!" Arin let out as Damion hugged her. "Thank you so much Satsuki-san!! Thank you!" he let her go and dashed from the school.
And just as he did, Arin had to wonder what she had gotten herself into.
<.><.><.><.><.>
"Oh dear, Damion.. you seem a little to happy." A boy said who was standing with Makoto.
Damion smiled smugly, "That is because.. I found us help!" he grinned ear to ear. "Two?" Makoto asked crossing his arms, knowing
full well that Damion had sidestepped that note. Damion's grin fell, "ACK! I gotta catch her and ask her if she has a friend!" before Damion could go running off, the other boy with Makoto grabbed his shirt, "Forget it, ask her tomorrow doofus." he muttered and pushed Damion into the car.
"Right, good idea." he smiled
<.><.><.><.><.><.>
Arin walked home slowly, she stared down at the sidewalk. 'I wonder.. why Jinkei-san needs someone to help cook.' Arin sighed, "What a strange boy." she muttered. Suddenly she bumped into someone. "Oops, I am sorry." she backed up and bowed.
The person turned; "Nah, it's ok." he smiled. Arin instantly recognized him, 'He is the one from school..' she smiled. "I have your handkerchief." she paused and pulled it from the bag. "I know you told me to keep it, so I did, and I washed it for you. Now it's clean." Arin held it out to him.
"Ah, thank you." he smiled and took it. "Hey, do you feel like some Ice cream?" he asked looking at the Ice Cream shop behind her. Arin winced, "Well, I am not really allowed to go anywhere with strangers." she shrugged. "Ah, I understand." he smiled.
"Your a good girl. Maybe some other time?"
Arin sighed, "Well, if I could somehow get in contact with my mom then I would be able to.." she paused. "Ah, I have a cell." the man pulled it out and handed it to her.
Arin nodded as thanks and opened it, she dialed in her home phone number. "Hello Mom. I was wondering if I could stop and get some Ice Cream with a friend." she waited.
"Ok, thank you Mom, I love you. Uh-huh, God Bless." The mans eyes popped open a little as she said God Bless. They returned to normal when she closed the phone and gave it back to him. "Thank you." Arin said. "Not a problem, now, shall we?" he bowed at the waist and let his one arm out for her to go.
Arin chuckled, "Sure." she walked forward and went to the ice cream shop.
<.><.><.><.><.><.>
"So your leaving for a month to America?" Arin leaned back in her seat and watched him for a moment. He nodded, "I am, I have some business there. I need to handle it before I continue with life." he looked down at the table avoiding eye contact. Arin winced, she had touched a wound.
"Hey, I never did learn your name." she changed the subject, his eyes met hers. He smiled. "Ah yes, I am Shinjin, Ryan." he nodded. "And you? I never learned yours.." he smirked. Arin chuckled, "I am Satsuki, Arin"
"Ah, I like it, Satsuki, Arin. Shall I drive you home?" he stood up. Arin stood, "Err.. well." she thought about it for a moment, she didn't really know him, but he seemed trustworthy. "Ok." she smiled and stood. Ryan smiled. "Okies! C'mon." he walked out with Arin on his heels.
Ryan drove Arin to the address she provided. "Well, here we are.." he watched her get out of the car. "Thank you." she bowed.
Ryan waved his hand, "No worries. Have a good day."
Arin closed the car door and watched him drive off. She slowly sighed, "I wonder if it was alright to lie to him.." she looked at the house and shrugged, "Ula won't care." Arin left that house and made her way to her own house.
A/N: I hope you liked it, I know I like it better! Besides.. I finally have a wonderful idea for ARin and Ula to become these odd boys friends. ^^
