Shugo Chara: Be Cautious with the Quiet Ones [ON HOLD]

CH3: Walking to School

I nervously walk down the school grounds through the main gates. I look around to see if I could spot any sign of Hiroki. *Hiroki you promised that you'll be here today.* I think to myself. Besides the thought lingering as to where Hiroki may be. I think about the 3 eggs that appeared today in the morning ontop of my bed. Today is isn't like any other because I still cannot comprehend the three eggs that appeared ontop of my bed. Three eggs are held within my school backpack. As usual I walk through the crowd of students like an unnoticed shadow. I accidently bumped into someone, "Ow! Ooops! I am sooo sorry."

I quickly bowed as I apologized to the person, who in which just simply chuckles. I blinked in confusion and look up to see Kukai chuckling at me. I blushed in embarassement and yelped, "Kukai! U-um I am sooo Sorry that I bumped into you!"

Kukai couldn't help himself to chuckle at my reaction, "It's ok Azami. How are you today?"

I blushed out of shyness, "I am fine thank you. U-Um Kukai I appreciate that you tried to stood up for me, when Hiroki wasn't there, a-and for checking up on me yesterday. I m-made a bento for you as a gift of appreciation." I quickly handed Kukai the lunch bento while looking away with my eyes shut because I knew I was turning redder like a cherry.

Kukai smiled and accepted my bento. "Like old times huh Kukai" I smiled sweetly, "But I promise you that my cooking is by far much better than we were little."

Kukai was shocked. It's been a long while since Azami made him a bento. Azami and Kukai used to be friends when they were children until the time Kukai had to move away. Kukai said softly, "Azami...I.."

I pouted, "Is it something wrong, Kukai? Don't tell me that you've developed an allergic reaction to seaweed!?"

Kukai sees the concern within my eyes. He shook his head. What he wanted to say for very long time was to apologize for the time that he moved away. When he moved back into town, he was surprised that I moved to another part of the city. He never knew why I moved, but he kept on looking for me. Until he found it, yet he somehow couldn't bring himself to apologize to me in face. It is unknown to him for the reason. "No that's not it Azami." Kukai hugs me and speaks to me next to my hear. "Thank you, Azami." I couldn't help but blush.

"I see you later ok, Azami?" He speaks to me as he walks away. I felt glares staring at me. I knew that they saw Kukai hugged me. I knew that one of them were about to say something when I hear a cheer. All the girls forgot about me and gave their full attention to the famous spunky pink haired girl.

I hear everyone go crazy as Amu passed by. They all yell, "COOL & SPICY!".

I have been always been amazed by Amu. She was admired by everyone, especially me. Unlike Amu, I am shy and quiet. I cannot help but say to myself, *Why can't I be like Amu...* As I think of this, one of my eggs slowly shakes for a split second within my bag.
