Nagisa and I pull at Rei's arms, dragging him out of the house. Long weekends are the best and we have a very long list of places to go to, which explains why we are already ready to head to Kyoko's house at six in the morning. Rei didn't sleep too well last night because his brain was haunted by our laughs at him in Kyoko's violet leotard so is cranky. Nothing an early morning pocket sweat won't fix.
We hop on the train and I spot Kaito. I beam, happy to be in the company of someone who is not my brother or his hyperactive best friend.
"Kaito!" I wave.
"Aoi-chan!" he grins, gesturing for me to sit beside him. Kaito looks so awake and of decent judgement, wearing a jade polo shirt and a pair of beige chinos, casual yet durable. Hey, when Fubuki's planning something to do you never know what on earth you'll be doing.
"You're very awake for six in the morning." I muse.
"I've downed half a pot of coffee." he laughs.
"I'm on pocket sweat." I state.
"Don't tell Nito'." he instructs. I giggle.
Mei boards the train next. Kitted out in her usual gold attire, her white strapless dress rests on her bust and is decorated with gold emroidery. On her feet are gold ballet flats. We wave to her and her topaz eyes light up.
"Do you know why Fubuki wanted us to meet him at half past six at Kyoko's house?" she asks, sitting beside me.
"It is bound to have something to do with Katie-chan." I say.
"Katie-chan?" she cocks a brow.
"She's Fubuki's childhood friend, she only went back to England a couple of months ago but for some strange reason she's come back to Japan." Kaito explains.
"Is she nice?" Mei asks.
"She is so nice!" I enthuse. "And sweet...but she speaks very little Japanese so we generally talk to her in English."
"Fair enough. Thankfully we're all decent at English!" Mei grins.
"True." Kaito chuckles.
"Here's our stop!" Nagisa calls despite the carriage being empty.
"Coming." I smile, standing. Rei, Nagisa, Mei, Kaito and I exit the train and make the short walk to Kyoko's house to spot Makoto's father drive by, Makoto and Haruka in the back. Makoto waves. I smile.
Once we are at Kyoko's house I see that our small collective are maybe the latest out, par Kyoko and Rin who according to Fubuki went inside Kyoko' house to get her.
"Mei meet Katie." Fubuki gestures to the English girl. Mei smiles.
"Hello." Mei smiles widely. "I'm Mikoshiba Mei, Aoi-chan's roommate. Nice to meet you." Mei says to the peach haired girl in a sky blue sundress.
"You speak English!" Katie exclaims.
"A bit." Mei laughs, still speaking English. Why does she have to be the best, par Fubuki in our English class.
"Someone...please...tell me...they have...pocket sweat." Nito' begs, half asleep.
"Here." I toss him a can from my darkwash denim shoulder bag.
"Thank you Aoi-chan!" Nito exclaims, hugging me tightly, cracking the can open and draining it.
"Woahhh." Haruka's eyes widen.
"Give him five minutes and he'll be bouncing off of the walls." Kaito chides.
"Pshhh Kai' more like two minutes." Fubuki corrects.
