Twist

-Kyoko's POV- 

That familiar looking girl turned out to be.. Higashimura.. Mei. 

I wondered to myself, why was Mei here.... I was at a loss of words. Weren't we just best friends? 

What if Ayaka was cheating on me? 

It can't be. 

There were so much "What ifs" on my mind... I don't even know which one to trust... 

I decided not to assume too much and knocked on the door.. 

/knock knock/ 

The both of them release their hug and turned around to look at me. Ayaka was rather surprised though. "Eh..? Kyoko.. why are yo-"

"Of course I was here for you, why didn't you pick up your phone? I was so worried for you. What if the same thing happened again? I don't want it to happen again, okay? I don't want to lose you again." 

"Look, I am sorry.. and actually to tell you the truth..." Ayaka was speaking and Mei suddenly cut in to the conversation.

"Ayaka.. don't-" 

"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS ALL ABOUT? I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY TIME." I was so frustrated and lost that I raised my voice and wanted to leave Ayaka's house and then.....

"Congratulations~ congratulations~ congratulation on passing your interviews~ to both Kyoko and Ayaka!!~~~"  Sang by a familiar group of girls as they held a cake with candles and walked into Ayaka's house. 

"EHHHHHH What is this." I gasped. 

"Toshi. Kumi. Miipan. Kage. Memi. Mana. Mao. Sarina." 

"YESSSSSSSSS IT'S US." Toshi yelled directly in my face. 

"Mission success!" Ayaka and Mei , hi-fived each other while saying that in a happy tone. 

Was this all planned because of me? Why this sort of planning though? 

Ayaka then walked towards me and held both of my hands.

"Look Kyoko,  I actually passed the interview for college! It was meant to be a surprised for you actually....  I am sorry if I disappoin-" 

I hugged her and stopped her from speaking, I don't like her apologizing to me, it just.. sucks.

"Don't be sorry Ayaka. You did this for me, all the lying and all, it's all for me, I understand and I love you but don't ever worry me again by not picking up my calls." 

Ayaka nodded her head. 

"Stop being so mushy at one corner and join us for the cake! It's gonna melt!!" Kumi yelled. 

And so, our class united as one. We talked about our lives, how they are dealing with it now, especially when society these days just sucks, people judge or blame you for the slightest thing or mistake you made. They either remember you because of your mistakes or your achievements. I actually miss those days during high school when we were all enjoying ourselves without any worries, but of course the only worry we had was exams. 

"SUGOI YOU'RE WORKING WITH MON-CHAN"

"SO HOW IS SHE LIKE-"

"She's working with Oda too!"

All this yells I am getting a headache. 

"It's gonna be my first day officially tomorrow! So I hope for the best!" 

"Definitely, let's all do well in what we do! Cheers to our future!" 

We clinked our glasses of fruit juices and we bid farewell after that. 

"Hey Kyoko, text me when you're home." Ayaka told me. 

"Okay." I smiled and left.
