I was currently sitting on the table in my living room, while my friend was over. He was scrolling over netflix to find something to watch. "Yo, kaito" he called from the other side of the room, on the sofa. "What's up?" i called back, my eyes on my school stuff. "Can you just leave that stupid school paperwork of yours ! tell me what to do i'm bored !" he complained. I scoffed "We transferred schools. I need to focus on this now. Tomorrow is our first day and, i don't know about you but i need to be prepared." i explained to him. He gasped "first day?" he clapped his hand on his face "i forgot" he groaned
My friend, oliver also moved here with me, so we agreed on searching the same school for both of us. The reason was pretty simple. Me and oliver went viral because some magazine people came over to our school to see if they could catch any, and i quote 'young undiscovered souls' and me and oliver got catched for acting and singing. Oliver went crazy and thought we were going to end up as the next superstars, but i didn't expect much to come. It was just an lazy interview, but then some OTHER people of meaning catched us, and now we are literall models for magazines. It still sounds super unreal for me, but oliver is enjoying the hell out of it, considering that every girl he meets is now head over heels for him.
"Hey you know what i found out?" i asked him, pushing the paperwork away for a second. He glanced at me "what?" he asked, grabbing some snacks that were on the small table next to him.
"You remember ayame,right?" i asked him. But he looked confused. He scratched his head "who's ayame?" he asked back.
I stared at him "ayame." i repeated. He shook his head and returned to the tv. But then his head turned slowly back to me "holy shit..." he whispered "ayame ! that little girl who you were crushing on back when we were freshman." he bursted out laughing.
"WHAT! that's so not true." i defended myself. He nodded "sure,sure." he mumbled as he stood up from the cozy sofa and took a seat next to me on my desk "so what's up with her?" he asked me, scratching his chin. I sighed "she..kinda goes to the same school as we do"
His eyes widened and he bursted out laughing again "no way!" he put his hand on his mouth "your gonna meet your childhood lover"
I punched his arm. He flinched "okay, okay..no need to be violent." he said. I rolled my eyes "i don't even know if she remembers me. A girl i know who knows ayame told me that she's the it girl of the school"
He stared at me "oh...kinda hard to believe. That girl wouldn't even talk unless it was her girly friends...or you" he smirked at the last part and wiggled his eyebrows at me. I pushed him aside "come on now!" he laughed
Suddenly my phone rang. We became silent as i lifted my phone. Unknown number? i answered, slightly nervous. "Hello?"
A female voice answered "hello? kaito?"
My face went blank "oh..uhm.." i put the speaker on mute for a second
"It's her!" i whispered towards oliver. He frowned "who? the women who answered on the pizza delivery hotline?" I rolled my eyes "no, stupid! it's ayame!" "How did u recognise her so fast?" I shrugged and put the speaker back on. I coughed "yeah..uhm hey."
I slapped my hand on my head. What am i doing? Why am i so nervous..
"heyy kaito, it's me, ayame kobayashi. You know we where on the same school before i..." she stopped talking "left" she added then, her voice shivering
I knew why she couldn't bring herself to say that 'left' word. Back when she moved away, she never mentioned she was leaving.
"Right. It's been pretty long,huh" i said. "What's up with you? are you still that short?"
She laughed "Kinda...i guess, but that's not why i called. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"okay. But uh.." i nervously turned at oliver and gave him a sign to go. He nodded with a smirk. 'Childhood lover' he mouthed as he closed the door behind him. I rolled my eyes and went back on the call "please, go on"
"yeah..so..as you said it's been a..while..since uh, you know? and uhm, i just wanted to make sure that, tomorrow, when you have your first day at my school..it won't be weird between us."
I frowned "why? i mean..why would you think that?"
"Well..." she sighed "kaito i mean you grew up and i grew up. People change sometimes, and..i've gotta say im not like...i was when we were freshman...you know?"
My heart sank. What was she talking about? Does she wants me to break connections with her? "Of course, yeah. I know, i just-"
"Maybe we just shouldn't be friends, i mean..i was bothering you, back in freshman year, your a model! wow and i'm..i'm the daughter of an ceo. I don't think we would get along that well anymore."
I scoffed "what's up with you? ayame i-"
"i just don't want to have you as a memory for the past, i don't need that, i have other things to do. I'll hang up now kaito. It was nice hearing from you again. I wish you the best with your modeling career" she said and then literally hung up the phone.
I couldn't believe this. What's have gotten into her. I've heard the door opening and oliver smirking.
Then he bursted out laughing "Dude she totally blew you off" he said, teasing me. I clenched my teeth "oh, shut up, will ya?" i spat
I sighed, and put my phone on the desk. I got lost with my thoughts..This wasn't the ayame i knew. I gotta figure this out. But before i have to stop oliver from being an idiot.
