Mayonaka Soñodora Meets Cinema Bizarre

6. Pooltime

<pre>Pooltime

I jumped as "Are We the Waiting" blared from my phone.

"Hello," I asked, slowly realizing that the prison who answered would be Yu as my mind caught up to my actions.

"Hello Saya. It's Yu," he replied, "do you guys want to go down to the pool today?"

I glanced at the clock. 7:18.

"When?" I asked with a yawn.

"How about at 10 or so?" he asked.

"If we can wake up Ai. That could take while," I told him.

"I tried calling her but she didn't answer," he told me, do you know why?"

"She's asleep and it's practically impossible to wake her up. I think her phone is on vibrate too," I replied.

"Ok. See you later," Yu said.

"'Bye," I replied.

I hung up and looked up to see Bachiko, Cho, and Fuji awake and watching me. Ai, as expected, was still sleeping like a dead person.

"Who was that?" Cho asked.

"Yu," I told them, "They wanted us to go down to the pool with them at about 10."

"Sweet!" Cho yelled. She loved being in water.

Bachiko thought for a minute. "Can I push someone in?" she asked.

I shrugged. "If you want to," I replied.

"Ok!" she chirped. Fuji sighed.

"I guess if I say no I'm still outnumbered?" she asked. We nodded. She sighed, but smiled. "Fine."

Once we had all agreed, we tried to wake Ai. It took us 3 pairs of socks, 2 cold sodas, a towel, and half an hour. She finally sat up and glared at the four of us.

"What time is it?" she growled. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance started to play from my phone.

"8 o'clock," I said, going to shut off the alarm, "We woke you up cuz Yu called and said the guys want to meet us down at the pool at about 10."

"That's in two hours!" Ai complained, flopping back down and closing her eyes. Fuji pushed at her until she sat up again.

"We still have to eat and get ready." Bachiko said.

Ai sighed and got up. Looking at her cell phone, she saw that she'd missed Yu's earlier call. She blinked. "Who'd he call?" she asked, really asking who'd picked up.

"Me," I replied. She shrugged and got up.

At 9:30 we were pretty much ready to go. We'd taken an hour to eat just about anything we could get our hands on. Now we were in swimsuits and t-shirts and just waiting around the room.

I had on a two-piece black swimsuit with red vine-like designs that showed off my tattoos. With it I was wearing a loose pair of black shorts, on top of it I was wearing a loose white t-shirt with the Wolf's Rain character Hige ironed on. I'd made shirts with all the main characters (Hige, Tsume, Toboe, Cheza, Blue, and Kiba) on them about 3 1/2 years ago.

Cho was wearing a dark blue two-piece swimsuit with small black butterflies on it. She also wore black shorts and my Toboe t-shirt.

Ai's swimsuit was a plain black two-piece. Her shorts were black with a bight pink skull on one side. Her t-shirt was the same black-and-pink one she'd worn at yesterday's concert.
