Did Fate Take Us Here? ~ Amuto

Chapter 2~ To Florida!

Light flooded in through a balcony sliding glass door to the back of a pinkette’s head. Amu was fast asleep on the floor in the middle of her bedroom. A suitcase, a Jansport backpack and a Lonsdale sports bag sat on either side of her as she slept. Piles of clothing were on the bed, cupboard doors and drawers lay opened and many possessions in a pile at her feet.

“RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!”

Amu sat up suddenly with wide honey eyes and stared at the mess she was in. She stood up and walked over to the clock and smacked the top, stupid damn clock, it’s only 6am. Amu looked around the room and eyed everything that was out of place. Almost done!

Amu had done some packing after finishing the movie. It was around 1 in the morning and she was swaying her head back and forth, obviously not wide awake, while muttering to herself in a sleepy and tired voice, I’m not sleepy, I’m awake and I can finish this in an instant. Well, after saying it for the 3rd time, Amu let her sleepiness take over her body and she fell to the ground.

The pinkette walked over to her bed and grabbed more piles of clothing to be placed in her suitcase. It was about a medium sized one since her cupboard where she kept her clothes was not that full. While filling up the suitcase to its brim, she did some thinking about the Tsukiyomis’. I wonder if the boys are around my age. It would be pretty nice to hang around some people for once and actually be kinda like friends. Hmm, school would probs be a nice place to hang. Putting the last few shorts into the suitcase and making sure everything was there, Amu zipped it up and carried it downstairs to the front door. She glanced at the clock while making her way back upstairs. 9.30 am. Still early, I guess I don’t have to hurry.

Going back up, Amu decided to take a shower and brush her teeth. 20 minutes later, she had changed into a black flashdance sweatshirt with white mini shorts on top of black stockings. To finish it off, she put on a white hooded cardigan and a pair of white chucks. She went back into her room and continued packing.

After packing all her possessions into her sports bag and backpack, like earphones, school stuff, wallets etc…, she stood up and looked around the room. It looked pretty much like a hotel room, excluding her desk, empty and clean. Amu then saw something on her bed that made her say, shoot I forgot about you. It was her cat pillow pet. His name was Blue Iku. It was named like that because he was basically a blue cat with yellow eyes, wearing a black tank top with a cross as a necklace and black shorts. For some reason, and even Amu didn’t know why, the name Iku just stuck to it. Maybe it was an old cat’s name of someone. But whatever it was, she was determined to make it her goal that one day, she will figure out where “Iku” came from.

Amu smiled at her thoughts and glanced at the clock. 11.50 am. I guess I’ll just wait downstairs, maybe watch tv or something. Amu picked up Blue Iku and placed him at the bottom of her sports bag, roughly but carefully. She worried over the thought of the boys finding out about him. God only knows what they will do to me. Taking her backpack and sports bag downstairs to the front door, she waited for the arrival of Sanjou-san while watching an episode of Breaking Bad.

At exactly 12 o’clock, a doorbell was heard. Sanjou-san stood in front of her in her yellow floral dress and orange heels. Amu’s mouth practically was big enough to fit a shoe in. Sanjou-san was so CASUAL today. What happened to the skirts ad shirts?

“Amu-chan, is everything alright?” questioned Sanjou, with a confused look on her face.

“Oh, sorry, nothing, it’s nothing, really,” said Amu giving a big grin to convince the woman.

“Well, that’s good to hear. Come on, time to go. Place your backpack and sports bag in the car on the back seats. You can sit up front. I will carry your suitcase to the boot,” said Sanjou with a smile.
