Love hurts - Megami x Ayano

Chapter 6 - The rumours

A red-ish world was standing right in front of her. Nothing was correct, nothing was good, you couldn't call it "perfect". Nothing made any sense. No logic, no thinking. Nothing was real.

Ayano swiftly sat up, breathing heavily. What was that dream supposed to be? Did it mean anything, or was it just there for the purpose of being there? Was there an actual meaning behind it?

She lit up the room by lighting up a candle. It was early in the morning, 4 am, specifically.

She looked around to make sure it wasn't a dream again. Today, — she remembered — Musume would finally have the new phone. Well, her dad would buy it for her. No wonder she's so spoiled, she'd think.

She got up and drank some left-over milk from last night. She continued by walking down the stairs while muttering some stuff she had learned from Megami.

Ayano yawned as she put some jam on some bread she had. She then proceeded to put it in a plate and bite it until she had ate it.

She sat on the couch and yawned once again. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and got in a more comfortable position.

A few minutes later, she got up again. She wasn't sure of what to do, so she just opened the kitchen light and started making some waffles. Just for fun.
Well, actually, that would be quite useful for later, as she was planning on surprising Megami with some food.

After she was done making the waffles, she gently poured some Nutella over them and added a few strawberries on top. Time was passing quickly, as it was already 5:10 AM.

She packed the waffles and then went on to take a small shower. She wasn't tired, but it was just the feeling of not knowing what to do.

It was already 5:30 AM. Ayano got out of the shower, dried her hair a bit, and then started gently and slowly brushing it in front of her large mirror.
She brushed it, and brushed it, and brushed it, until she stopped and put it in a cute ponytail.

She wore her new, clean uniform that she had got from Megami. It was a custom uniform that was made just for Ayano, as she was friends with Megami.

She put her black shoes on and got the waffles' package. She put it in a small bag, and then fixed her ponytail, which was slightly more down than it was supposed to be.

She looked at the time again, and, who could've guessed — it was 6:00 AM.

She checked again to make sure she had everything with her, and then started walking to school.

Megami was waiting for Ayano just outside her house.

"Oh, hey Ayano!"

"Didn't quite see you there, Megami!" Ayano smiles and runs to hug Megami tightly.

Megami slightly blushes and hugs her bag, smiling.

"Do you like the uniform?"

"Of course. Thank you so much for it."
"Now, let's start walking to school, shall we?" Ayano continues.

"O-of course."

Megami couldn't help but blush again at how cute Ayano was.

— A few minutes later.. —

They were now in the student council room. While all student council had arrived, they were already doing their jobs; walking around the school, checking rooms, etc, based on their role and routine.

Ayano told Megami to close her eyes for a small surprise. She quickly took her bag off and opened it. She took the package out of it, opened that too, and..

The waffles! They were messed up, a little cut here and there, the strawberries too! And nutella was all over the package! She couldn't believe it.
She thought about it and it was definitely because she ran and jumped so much.

What would she do now? What "surprise" could she give to Megami? She was silent for a few moments, but she knew how to keep an act up.
She couldn't show these messed up waffles to Megami, and she couldn't show her that she was sad, because she didn't want her to be sad either.

Her eyes sparkled when a bright idea came to her head. That's when she swiftly closed the package, put it back in the bag, and closed that too.

She slowly started walking towards Megami, getting closer and closer, until she was right in front of her.

It was nothing to be considered romantic, but she kissed her on the cheek.

Megami was now all red. She was blushing a lot.

"A-ayano-"

Ayano laughs nervously. "Haha.."

A few more minutes later..
Everyone had now come in the school. Ayano and Megami had stayed a long time in the student council room, and whatnot.

Musume spotted Ayano and ran right up to her.

"OMG girlll!"

"Hi Musume."

"Ughh! It took a month but I finally got my new phone."

"That's nice."

"NO! It's not even the newest model! Tsk.. I guess I'll have to stick with it for a while until the model I was looking for arrives." Musume cries.

"That's sad."

"But anyways, I have some juicy rumours that I have collected over these few weeks
about some, well, special people in this school~"

"I wouldn't like to hear what's most likely false information. The internet isn't always the best way of learning of some interesting news, which, once again, are most likely fake, meaning that if you tell them to everyone, you'll be spreading misinformation."

"Just LISTEN!" Musume rolls her eyes and yells.
"So basically.. there's a big rumour that the student council are actually bad, bad people that are planning on doing something baaad to Megami!

"WHAT!?"
