The Loved One

Chapter 31

-Yuzu

I sit up in bed, and walk into my closet. I put on a hot pink t-shirt with a panda bear poking out of the pocket, black Miss Me jeans, and a pair of combat boots. Then I brush my hair. Today's my first day at a new school, and I only know two people in my grade. I grab my iPhone, and plug my headphones in. Then play Runaway Baby, by Bruno Mars. I dance around my room, and sing along.

"Yuzu! Hurry up!" my mom yells up the stairs.

"Be right down!" I call back.

Yeah, I'm from Japan. My parents got jobs here, so we moved here. My mom's American, and my dad's Japanese. Then I have a younger sister, and an older brother. Reagan, and Cole. I race down the stairs, and grab my bag out of my mom's hand. I'm twelve. My sister is six, and my brother is nineteen. I jump into the car, with my sister next to me, as mom pulls out of the driveway. She drops me off at school, and I make my way to the gym. Once in there, I sit down on the floor, and read Twilight, by Stephanie Meyers. Then it's time for class, and I meet up with the teacher, along with my classmates. The teacher assigns our seats by alphabetical order, and I sit down. At lunch, I sit next to a blonde. She's really pretty, she has pretty blue eyes, and she's really skinny.

"Hi, I'm Yuzu Fugioka." I introduce myself, seeing this girl as familiar.

"I'm Lilica Talahand." she introduces herself. "This is Amy McDonald."

Amy nods to me, and I smile. Then we become friends, quickly.

"I'm sorry, I can't shake the feeling that I've met you before." I sigh.

"You don't seem familiar." she frowns, thoughtfully.

"Oh, okay." I look around. "Oh, there's Sam."

"You know Sam?" Lilica asks me.

"Yeah, he's my boyfriend." I laugh, shyly.

"Aw, you guys look like a cute couple." she gushes.

"Thanks." I blush. "Wait a second, is that Ryan?"

"Ryan Matthews?" she asks me.

"Yeah, I used to only visit during the summer, and he lived across the street." I giggle, remembering the time I accidentally handcuffed myself to his life size toy horse.

"That's cool." she smiles.

Then we have to go to class. I sigh, and doodle in my notebook, not liking the teacher.

-Alfred

"Dude! What happened to Lilica and Yuzu!?" I exclaim.

"I don't know! One minute Yuzu was jumping on our bed, and the next they're gone!" Yuki exclaims.

"Something happened to Yuzu?" Tamaki asks.

"Lilica and Yuzu are missing!" I exclaim.

"Don't worry, I can do a locating spell." Arthur sighs. "Ubique! Ubique!" He grabs a map, and points at a small town in Florida.

I blush deeply, and France bursts into fits of laughter.

"Angleterre, we know you like Alfred, but you don't have to point at it." France laughs, and I glare at him.

"Shut it, bloody frog." Arthur growls, blushing madly.

"Sarasota, Florida." Tamaki says, aloud.

"Let's go then!" France smirks.

"No! You're not going anywhere near Florida!" I exclaim.

"Onhonhon, are you sure?" France laughs.

"Positive." I glare.

"Fine, fine." he smirks, and walks away.

Then we make our way to... Florida.
