Pretear Fan Fiction ❯ Prétear Dream Prom ❯ Just Informed ( Chapter 1 )

It was a sunny Friday afternoon and Jordan just arrived home from school with her secret crush, the 17-year-old Water Knight, Hajime. She actually insisted that she walk home by herself, but Hajime didn't listen to her request. She trailed behind him as she immorally scanned and wanted him. She couldn't tell him how she felt; she didn't want to ruin their friendship with her strong feelings for him.

 

“Um… Th-thanks for… walking me home…” she acknowledged, shyly. Hajime nodded and coyly smiled with his hands in his pockets. They stood there looking at each other like idiots for a full minute, avoiding any eye contact. Just then, from inside the house, the phone rang. Jordan snapped back into reality.

 

“Um… I'm gonna get the phone,” she said, opening the door and heading to the kitchen for the phone, “You can come on in, if you want…” HUH? She didn't understand what she just said. Why did she invite her secret crush into her house? For more emotional torture? Was she finally going to kick her intimidation straight up the ass?

 

…Psych!

 

“Hello?” she greeted into the phone.

 

“Hey, Jordan,” a voice returned on the other end. Hajime stepped into the entrance hall and leaned against the wall. The entrance hall was a big room. To Hajime's right was a flight of stairs to the second floor. To his left was a small, wooden table facing a large, ovular mirror on the wall. Linoleum tiles made up a great portion of the room. In front of the muscled young man was the room's corner consisting of a doorframe on either wall. He moved closer to the door straight ahead, then stopped as he heard Jordan talking on the phone.

 

“ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!” she inquired ecstatically into the phone, “Your school prom is TOMORROW?! Oh my god, Syrin, you're so lucky! Our school is too fucking ghetto to have a prom…”

 

“Yeah! I'm goin' with my boyfriend, Hisoka* Lauren's goin' with her guy, Joey Wheeler, and Abyss called me a week ago sayin' that he and that J-Pop band called Bad Luck were probably gonna be performing at our prom.”

 

“Really?” she asked with interest, picking up a plate in the sink to clean it, “It'd be nice to see Abyss again. We never get to see him anymore, now that he has an N-G Productions record label. I wonder how he's doing…”

 

“His boyfriend's in the band Bad Luck…”

 

“For real?”

 

“Yeah! Well, you don't have to wonder, anymore; I got you two tickets to OUR prom.”

 

“REALLY?!?” Jordan exclaimed, “Oh my god, Syrin, you're awesome! Thank you so much! Finally, I get to go to A prom…” She paused, then questioned her friend, “Wait, you got me TWO tickets?”

 

“…Yeah…?”

 

“So…”

 

“Yyyyou can take somebody…?”

 

CRASH!

 

Jordan dropped the plate in her hand as she was psychologically slapped in the face. She stared off in a daze and questioningly repeated, “…`take somebody'…?”

 

Hearing the conversation ending, Hajime walked out of the house and shut the front door, then walked back home to the other Leafe Knights. Jordan was brought back to reality and became worried. She forgot Hajime was still in the house. What if he was freaked out by what she was saying? She needed some time to think.

 

“I gotta go, Syrin. I'll see you tomorrow night, okay?” Then she hung up. She ran upstairs to her room, locked herself in, and jumped onto bed. “I can't take this!” she cried, “Why is it so hard for me to be around him. He always wants to help me and talk to me and be around me, but I just can't seem to tell him! Why?! Hajime… I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH! WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR ME TO TELL YOU HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU!?! I LOVE YOU, HAJIME!!!” And with that, Jordan cried herself to sleep.
