T.A.O.H

Beginning of the Journey

Footsteps could be heard as i walked through the streets of japan, I looked up. The sakura blossoms were falling and landed on my school bag. With that i could hear the school bell faintly ringing. "OH SHIT I'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL" While i was screaming the birds in the trees flew away. I sighed as I ran towards the school building.

As expected I was reeaaallly late and when I opened the door to the classroom everyone stared at me like I was some zoo animal. When I sat down my best friend, Marry whispered in my ear.

"Hidekoooo-chan~ Why were you so late?"

"Pfft Marry, you making fun about me again?"

"No..... why would I?"

Marry then stuttered out and shook alot like a washing machine washing clothes.

Marry was incredibly shy.

Suddenly lunchtime came and Marry, Rei, Ichigo and I sat on the rooftop to eat our bento. We were discussing the new SAO II episode.

"Ahhhh!, Kirito is so cool right?" cried Rei while fangirling

"Zekken is better though" Ichigo retorted

"NAW NAW GUYS, ITS NOT ZEKKEN ITS YUUKI, KONNO YUUKI" Marry shouted in an awkward tone

We then all started laughing while eating. While we were laughing Rei accidentally spat out some rice into Ichigo's lap and Ichigo started screaming.

Marry and I started laughing like hell and ran while Ichigo tried to hit us.

"Oh yeah!, I forgot" I said while holding a flyer up.

"Whats that Hii-chan?" Marry asked in a shy tone

"ITS AN IDOLPLASMA REGISTRATION NOTICE" I shouted out loud. Once again all the birds flew out of the trees.

"Oh my Hii-chan" Ichigo said in a taunting voice. "Looks like someone is...."

Ichigo's phone started ringing. "Oh gotta go. I need to go to the doctors. SEEYA!"

"SEEYA ICHIGO-CHAN" Marry, Rei and I shouted out.

With that, Ichigo closed the door to the roof and her footsteps echoed through the building.

The school bell rang a few hours later signifying the end of school. I walked with Marry on the way home while talking about the idolplasma audition.

"I know you can do it Hideko-chan!" Marry gave me a cute smile when I looked at her. Then I started smiling too.

"Thanks Marry-chan" I said while smiling.

We then turned into a bread shop and bought anko paste buns. We then ate them at the park bench.

I saw Minami walk by.

Her face was cute and pretty. Her make up was light but made a big impact.

Her name is Minami Huang, It was in the flyer. I thought of approaching her but then stopped

"Hii-chan... You dropped your bun"

Marry was right, The Anko paste bun was on the ground covered in dirt. But I didnt care anymore. The leader of idolplasma was right in front of me walking across the street.

It was only the beginning of the long journey.
