Seven Days
Chapter 8
Introductions
*Mamoru*
It was the second time he'd seen Usagi up so early on a weekend. She had just gotten out the passenger's side of Motoki's car and was wearing a purple slip-on that cinched at the waist. He noticed halter-top strings coming out of the dress and prayed that it belonged to a scant two-piece. With her hair pulled up in a messy bun, she was carrying a see through beach bag, holding up her hands in defense when she saw him.
"I forgot to charge my phone last night so my alarm didn't go off. Sorry!" she apologized, but he wasn't really mad at all. He had prearranged for Motoki to go get her. He just had a feeling that she would be the last one to arrive.
"Not surprising," he deadpanned as she walked over to him after she closed Motoki's door. They stood near the entrance of the tour bus and she reached up and ran her hand through his hair.
"Forgot to brush your hair this morning?" she joked and he grinned at her. Okay so maybe he did have some bedhead, but he personally knew that she loved it, why else would she touch it? Besides, he knew it was sexy; women told him so all the time.
"Save it for the beach," Motoki muttered, walking past them and onto the bus.
He glared at Motoki's back, hoping that he wouldn't make it a habit of his to start interrupting him and Usagi because yesterday had been more than enough for him. They'd been going so good and he had been sure that Usagi had been ready to succumb to him completely. But then that bastard had to barge right in the middle of their session; oh the things he had been ready to do to her... This time however, he would definitely make sure that there would be no further interruptions from anybody. Today, there would be no one to save her from him.
"This is the first time we're actually going somewhere together," he noted, stepping closer to her. "You nervous?" he teased.
"No. I'm sure we'll have fun," she replied casually, but her secretive smile didn't go unnoticed by him. Her look turned him on more than it should have and he wanted nothing more than to fulfill her wishes. He could definitely show her a good time; all she had to do was ask. Actually, not even.
She walked up to the bus and he stayed close behind as she climbed the steps, staring at her butt as it made its way before him. Her hot little body was perfect in every way. All he could think of was how he wanted to take her home and fuck her until she couldn't walk straight. For now, he would have to try content himself with seeing her run around the beach in a wet bikini. It was going to be a long day...
When they both stepped in the bus, the driver closed the door behind them and started leaving the arcade parking lot. As he walked behind Usagi, he thought twice about if he should follow her to the back, but decided not to. His friends were all sitting on the couches talking and joking and expectantly looked for him to join.
He sat on the couches next to his friend Max and looked around the bus once more appreciatively. He was so glad that he had done the renovation as Cass had suggested. These couches were way more comfortable than the previous ones and the flat screen TVs he had installed were totally worth it. Even the paint job looked better than before; a flaming red, which even he had been skeptical about, really seemed to liven up the place.
Cass even redid the bathroom and bedrooms and replaced the fridge. Thankfully she still kept the mini bar intact exactly as he liked it. He reached over to the wine cooler and pulled out a bottle of scotch. Now this was what life was all about; hanging out with the guys, going to the beach with hot girls and drinking.
"Seriously, I should totally be an interior designer!" Cassie gloated, while taking a seat between him and Motoki. She stretched her legs on Motoki's lap, leaning into him and Motoki casually wrapped his arm around her shoulders. (No matter how aloof Motoki pretended to act toward Cass, everyone here knew he was in totally smitten with her). "Seriously, compared to the way it looked before, I just made it a million times more fabulous!" she said proudly.
Max looked at Mamoru suspiciously as did the rest of the guys except Motoki. They never understood his and Cass's relationship and always wondered why he let her 'take over' his things. They didn't get why he would always let her remodel his stuff or ask her opinion before changing something aesthetically to his house or business. But for some reason, they couldn't accept the fact that he genuinely believed that she was just good at it.
"Seriously, Cass. How do you make him your bitch?" Jed asked her in disbelief. "He doesn't even listen to our suggestions!" Cass shrugged, but didn't say anything. She was just as tired of being asked the same question all the time. They were just friends, even though their friends accused them of acting like something more.
He looked over to Usagi (who wasn't sitting too far away from them), about to introduce her to the rest of the group, but decided against it. Honestly, he was in no rush to introduce these jackasses to her and she would probably be better off if she never met them at all. He'll probably just wait until she came over to them or maybe just wait until they got to the beach.
So he stayed seated as his friends joked about how he was secretly in love with Cass because why else would he leave her in charge of things and not them. Thankfully, Usagi wasn't listening to their conversation.

*Usagi*
As Usagi walked toward the back of the bus, she was surprised at how big and spacious it was. It was decorated lavishly, with large plush couches that sat on either side by the windows, spanning about half the length of the bus. There were at least three flat screen TVs mounted on the walls and she could see doors with signs on them that read 'Restroom' and 'Bedroom' at the rear end. Wow, this sure was a nice bus!
Off to the right, there was a mini bar filled with a couple of bottles of sake and dozens of imported Rum and wine and to the left, a small table with five chairs where Ami was sitting. She joined her, since Mamoru had sat with his friends (whom he rudely failed to introduce her to). Ami smiled, setting down her Kindle to greet her.
Seriously, Ami was obsessed with that thing! She couldn't blame her though considering how studious she was, this was probably the most magical device ever created in Ami's mind. It allowed her to have any book with her whenever she wanted, which up until a couple of months ago, Ami was literally hauling her large textbooks with her everywhere she went. So now she never traveled without it and even brought it to the beach too apparently.
Thankfully however, they had been able to convince her to wear this skimpy navy blue halter bikini that Ami had bought on a whim last month (Ami had tried it on in the fitting room and they all gushed on about how amazing her boobs looked in it). She wore a black see-thru mesh like shirt that showed off her breasts nicely, with a pair of shorts. She just hoped that Ami would put that thing down long enough to show that she wasn't just any intellectual, but a very sexy one at that!
Across from her on the couch to her left, Minako was sitting down. She was wearing gold aviator shades and resting her head on Makoto's shoulder, sleeping. She was wearing a white strapless dress and her pastel orange bikini strings were all she could see of her bathing suit. They were hanging down her back, tangled in her loose hair.
Makoto, who hadn't even noticed her walk in, was also wearing dark sunglasses. She remembered the tan shorts and green camisole she wore from a recent shopping spree of theirs, but she wondered where she got her sandals. They were so cute with tiny little lightning bolts on them! Just as she was about to ask her, she noticed the way her head was awkwardly tilted to the side and realized that it was obvious that she was also sleeping too. What bums they were! At least they still looked cute while they drooled all over each other.
She turned her head as she saw Rei come out the bathroom and when Rei noticed her too, she rushed over. Her hair was pulled back into a low pony tail and she was wearing a cute orange-red bandeau top with only a jean skirt, showing off her belly piercing, (she still remembered the day they'd gotten them done together not too long ago) and black priestess tattoo that ran down her spine. Rei took the seat next to her across from Ami and leaned in close to talk to her.
"What took you so long?" she asked her impatiently, but didn't give her time to answer before she interrupted her. "Can you believe that Chad is here?" she said frantically and Ami looked up from her Kindle in interest.
"Who?" she wondered, having no clue about who Rei was talking about. She looked over to the group of Mamoru's friends at the front of the bus and slowly scanned the crowd in interest. There were six guys total (including Mamoru and Motoki) and all of them were currently obnoxiously laughing at something one of them was doing. She would be annoyed if it weren't for how surreally handsome they all were.
"Chad! I told you about him after the party when we were leaving together; don't you remember?" she asked annoyed and Usagi tried to recall if she could, but nothing came up. Finally, she noticed the guy sitting next to Motoki and she recognized him as the guy Rei was talking about. "It was the first guy who had asked me to dance with him!"
Usagi nodded finally and she took careful notice of just how nervous Rei actually was. Interesting. Maybe her and Chad had really hit it off on Friday and she hadn't known because they hadn't really talked since then. Hopefully he would distract Rei long enough to buy her some time before she told her about the issue between her and Mamoru...
"Omigod! I don't know what to do! Should I go talk to him? I had no idea he was going to be here?!" she whined and Usagi wanted to laugh; usually it was her and Mako-chan that panicked over guys! But Chad was super-hot and with his messy brown hair dropping over his eyes oh so sexily, she couldn't blame her for going bananas for him.
"It's your own fault for inviting Mamoru in the first place..." she chided; it really was her fault. Honestly, she had no idea that he and Motoki were going to bring so many of their friends to come along too. She wasn't really sure if she should be pissed about it or not yet; she was waiting to find out if his friends were all jerks to make that decision, but so far in didn't look too promising.
"I thought that you would want him to come," Rei said, giving her a side-glance that made her nervous all of a sudden. Ami finally put down her Kindle on the table and leaned in on her elbows.
"We saw you!" Ami blurted, a mischievous gleam in her eye. She gulped. What were they talking about...? She looked over at Rei who was smirking also.
"We all saw you dancing with Mamoru-san at the party..." Rei clarified with a raised eyebrow. They both looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to explain herself, but she couldn't; her throat had gone completely dry.
"Dancing...?" she managed to utter.
"If you can even call it that," Rei snickered and she and Ami laughed amongst themselves, but Usagi's face felt like it was going to melt completely off. What was she supposed to say?!
First, she was in utter disbelief that it had been just her luck at getting caught doing the ONE THING that she wanted to keep secret the most!
Secondly, she couldn't believe that her friends had seen her with Mamoru and yet hadn't said a word to her about it for two whole days! AND she had spoken to Ami over the phone yesterday and she hadn't mentioned a peep--which was surprising considering Ami was the worst at keeping secrets!
Thirdly (and the most frightening of them all), she was amazed that Rei knew about it and yet, Usagi was somehow still alive... She turned to Rei cautiously, prepared to dodge any one of Rei's freaky spells that would make her burn in hell. But Rei was surprisingly not reaching for any of her priestess charms and was actually fixing her with a smug grin.
"So, were you ever going to tell us, or were you going to keep him all to yourself!" Rei asked, elbowing her arm immaturely with a huge grin on her face.
"Why didn't you tell us that there was something going on between you two?" Ami joined, giving her the same look as Rei and Usagi didn't know how to answer.
Rei was acting surprisingly calm about the news and it was starting to freak her out. What if Rei was just pretending like this didn't bother her and really in the inside, she just wanted to strangle the life out of her.
"I'm so sorry, Rei!" she whispered, hoping Rei would accept her apology. Rei simply gave her a quizzical look.
"What do you mean?" she asked her. "Usa, you don't really think that I like Mamoru, do you?" Rei asked her wonderingly. She only nodded and Rei laughed (laughed!) at her! "He's hot," she admitted, "but who doesn't know that already? Honestly, Usa, that's all!" she assured her.
"Yeah, Usagi-chan, he doesn't even like her!" Ami quipped and Rei fixed her with an offended look, before smiling and turning to Usagi.
"Exactly!" she added, "And we saw him all over you..." Rei trailed off.
"Spill the beans, Usagi-chan! Tell us exactly what happened!" Ami demanded. "And we want to hear every detail!"
She couldn't help but smile at her friends' antics and she couldn't believe at how relieved she felt at hearing Rei's confession. It had been her main reason for why she'd been so cautious about everything in the first place and was just so happy to hear that Rei DID NOT care for Mamoru. She was almost a little too excited actually...
"You promise that you're not mad at me?" she asked her again. She just wanted to make sure that Rei wouldn't try to Burning Mandala her the next time she turned her back...
"Trust me, Usa; you will always know when I'm mad at you!" Rei joked and she felt all the tension leave her body at Rei's words. Yes! She was free! (...to do whatever she wanted with Mamoru, that is!)
"OK," she started, with a deep breath. "We uh... danced at the party," she said sheepishly, wondering about just how much else they saw and what she should mention.
"And?" Rei prompted her. "Don't act all modest now! We noticed you two off in the corner!" Rei said and Usagi wanted to die. So they had seen Mamoru practically humping her against the wall?! Ami wiggled her brows and she wanted to cover her face in shame.
"You both seemed really into it too!" Ami added and she wasn't sure just how much redder her face could get. They had seen them making out and groping each other... just great.
"Did you guys do it?" Rei asked excitedly, unembarrassed by her bold question and she wanted to smack her for being so blunt.
"We all went home together after the party, you idiots!" she said through clenched teeth, wishing that she could yell at them. "Don't you remember that?!" They were not being logical at all! Rei and Ami merely shrugged.
"I don't know..." Ami wondered. "There's a lot of back rooms in the arcade..." she teased and Usagi tried to suppress her anger because she knew that they were just joking around with her.
"Can we talk about this another time when he isn't sitting less that ten feet away from me?!" she pleaded tightly in a hushed tone, hoping Mamoru wouldn't happen to look in their direction and guess what they were talking about.
"Fine. We'll let you off the hook, for now. But tomorrow we're having a meeting and you'll have plenty of time to elaborate your story there!" Rei said with a smirk.
"I can't believe they got this huge bus just to take us to the beach..." Usagi said randomly, trying desperately to have them drop the subject of her and Mamoru already. Rei nodded in agreement and they both seemed to accept their next topic of discussion.
"It's such a nice bus; do you think that it belongs to Mamoru-san?" Rei wondered out loud, pointing to the recurring monogram that was stitched into almost every fabricated item. 'CINC' was everywhere and even though Mamoru's last name started with 'c' too, she knew that his last name was Chiba, so that couldn't be what it meant.
"I don't think so," she doubted. Even though she knew Mamoru was rich, she didn't think that he was absurdly so to have a damn tour bus at his disposal whenever he wanted. He probably rented this for all they knew.
"I'm surprised that you two haven't figured out just how rich Mamoru-san is..." Ami drawled looking at them as if they totally dumb, but she and Rei were so used to it that they were no longer offended by Ami's looks of superiority. They just learned that if they ignored them, Ami would divulge them with knowledge anyway. "This is Mamoru-san's," Ami said and she pointed at the 'CINC' stitching on the back of the empty chair next to her. "Don't you recognize that logo?"
She and Rei shook their heads, not understanding what she was talking about (even though it did look vaguely familiar...) and Ami just sighed, giving up. She turned around to look at the guys behind them, before looking back at us with a puzzled look.
"Do you think that's Motoki's girlfriend or something?" Ami asked, changing into her catty mode (my, she was in a gossipy mood today!) clearly talking about Cass. Not only was she the only female sitting in the group with the guys, but also she was draped all over Motoki like a possessive girlfriend; one really had to wonder.
"I don't know..." Usagi answered. Although Motoki had denied it, they still seemed pretty close for being 'just friends'. And he could definitely see why he would like her so much, that girl was hot!
"She looks a lot like Koan Crystal," Rei observed and she nodded her head in agreement. Cass did look a lot like a popular celebrity from the magazines they read all the time. "But could that really be her?"
She was about to mention about what Motoki had said about her yesterday, but stopped when she saw a group of girls walk out from the bedroom to their right and stand in front of them. She thought that they were going to greet them at first, but when none spared them a single glance, she wondered why they were even standing so close. That's when she noticed a mirror right behind her and Rei that they were checking themselves in.
There was one with bleach blonde hair in a gray two-piece with a swimming skirt that was tucking her hair carefully under her hair band. The tallest of the three was pining up her dark hair in a bun. She wore a black tankini with a mesh dress over it, that didn't cover her up at all. The third girl had her light brown hair braided and was wearing a long billowy skirt along with a blouse. She was applying sunscreen carefully on her face through the mirror.
It didn't make sense to her why they would have to glam up to go to the beach, but they looked like the type of girls that were just going to stay in the sand and tan anyway. One of them noticed Usagi watching them and gave her a sideways glance. She felt awkward at being caught and looked away quickly. These girls did stuff like this all the time judging by the way they knew their way around the bus so well and she felt really awkward being next to them. They were probably the girls that Motoki and Mamoru hung out with often and were probably wondering who they were right about now...
"I'm Prisma; nice to meet you," the tallest one surprised her. "Sorry my younger sisters don't have any manners," she joked. At her greeting, the other two girls looked at them.
"I'm Usagi. Nice to meet you Prisma-san." She bowed her head slightly. Ami and Rei nodded in acknowledgment, introducing themselves too. The other girls turned toward them and followed suit of their eldest sister.
"I'm Avery," the one with the long skirt said.
"And I'm Bertie," said the blonde, pulling out the chair next Ami. She sat down and pointed to Cassie, who was currently poking Motoki in the neck. ("Who gave you that?" she asked and he swatted her hand away). "And the dumb one over there is our youngest sister, Koan." She and Rei looked at each other quickly; they had been right. Cassie looked up at hearing her name and got up from where she was sitting and walked over to them.
"Hey!" she greeted cheerfully and they smiled at her; she sounded nice, (they all did...) "I'm Cass. Come," she offered, mentioning over to where all the guys were sitting. Usagi and Rei looked at one another and shrugged, followinf Cass back to join Mamoru and company.
Ami stood back, but the rest of them walked over and tried to squeeze themselves to fit into the rest of the seats that weren't occupied. There was a seat on one side of Motoki between him and Chad that Rei practically ran to and that pretty much left her with two choices, (but really no choice at all) which were the two empty spots between Mamoru and Motoki. And even though she would have been much more comfortable sitting next to Motoki, she didn't for the fact that Cassie had been sitting there and it would have been awkward to just take it.
So she was forced to scoot over closer to Mamoru because the only seats available were across from him, next to strangers, which the other girls had already taken anyway. She noticed Prisma sit on the lap of a guy that she hadn't seen before and must have just come from the back room.
He had dark hair and amazingly resembled Mamoru a lot, just looked a little older. She wondered briefly if they were brothers, but she knew that Mamoru was a single child. They must be cousins or something because their similarity in appearance was crazy! The guy noticed that she was looking at him and looked back at her with strikingly familiar blue eyes. ZOMG! Mamoru had a clone!
She looked nervously to her left at the real Mamoru, before taking her seat. He smiled goofily at her, offering her a bottle of alcohol and she smiled back politely, but declined. She could smell the alcohol on his breath; was he drunk already? Goodness, it wasn't even 11am yet!
He casually placed his arm around the outside of the couch, very near to around her shoulders and she took a nervous breath. So maybe he was a little tipsy... She just prayed that he didn't act like a fool in front of all these people.

It was decorated lavishly, with large plush couches that sat on either side by the windows, spanning about half the length of the bus.

"Omigod! I don't know what to do! Should I go talk to him? I had no idea he was going to be here?!" she whined and Usagi wanted to laugh; usually it was her and Mako-chan that panicked over guys! But Chad was super-hot and with his messy brown hair dropping over his eyes oh so sexily, she couldn't blame her for going bananas for him.
"It's your own fault for inviting Mamoru in the first place..." she chided; it really was her fault. Honestly, she had no idea that he and Motoki were going to bring so many of their friends to come along too. She wasn't really sure if she should be pissed about it or not yet; she was waiting to find out if his friends were all jerks to make that decision, but so far in didn't look too promising.
"I thought that you would want him to come," Rei said, giving her a side-glance that made her nervous all of a sudden. Ami finally put down her Kindle on the table and leaned in on her elbows.
"We saw you!" Ami blurted, a mischievous gleam in her eye. She gulped. What were they talking about...? She looked over at Rei who was smirking also.
"We all saw you dancing with Mamoru-san at the party..." Rei clarified with a raised eyebrow. They both looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to explain herself, but she couldn't; her throat had gone completely dry.
"Dancing...?" she managed to utter.
"If you can even call it that," Rei snickered and she and Ami laughed amongst themselves, but Usagi's face felt like it was going to melt completely off. What was she supposed to say?!
First, she was in utter disbelief that it had been just her luck at getting caught doing the ONE THING that she wanted to keep secret the most!
Secondly, she couldn't believe that her friends had seen her with Mamoru and yet hadn't said a word to her about it for two whole days! AND she had spoken to Ami over the phone yesterday and she hadn't mentioned a peep--which was surprising considering Ami was the worst at keeping secrets!
Thirdly (and the most frightening of them all), she was amazed that Rei knew about it and yet, Usagi was somehow still alive... She turned to Rei cautiously, prepared to dodge any one of Rei's freaky spells that would make her burn in hell. But Rei was surprisingly not reaching for any of her priestess charms and was actually fixing her with a smug grin.
"So, were you ever going to tell us, or were you going to keep him all to yourself!" Rei asked, elbowing her arm immaturely with a huge grin on her face.
"Why didn't you tell us that there was something going on between you two?" Ami joined, giving her the same look as Rei and Usagi didn't know how to answer.
Rei was acting surprisingly calm about the news and it was starting to freak her out. What if Rei was just pretending like this didn't bother her and really in the inside, she just wanted to strangle the life out of her.
"I'm so sorry, Rei!" she whispered, hoping Rei would accept her apology. Rei simply gave her a quizzical look.
"What do you mean?" she asked her. "Usa, you don't really think that I like Mamoru, do you?" Rei asked her wonderingly. She only nodded and Rei laughed (laughed!) at her! "He's hot," she admitted, "but who doesn't know that already? Honestly, Usa, that's all!" she assured her.
"Yeah, Usagi-chan, he doesn't even like her!" Ami quipped and Rei fixed her with an offended look, before smiling and turning to Usagi.
"Exactly!" she added, "And we saw him all over you..." Rei trailed off.
"Spill the beans, Usagi-chan! Tell us exactly what happened!" Ami demanded. "And we want to hear every detail!"
She couldn't help but smile at her friends' antics and she couldn't believe at how relieved she felt at hearing Rei's confession. It had been her main reason for why she'd been so cautious about everything in the first place and was just so happy to hear that Rei DID NOT care for Mamoru. She was almost a little too excited actually...
"You promise that you're not mad at me?" she asked her again. She just wanted to make sure that Rei wouldn't try to Burning Mandala her the next time she turned her back...
"Trust me, Usa; you will always know when I'm mad at you!" Rei joked and she felt all the tension leave her body at Rei's words. Yes! She was free! (...to do whatever she wanted with Mamoru, that is!)
"OK," she started, with a deep breath. "We uh... danced at the party," she said sheepishly, wondering about just how much else they saw and what she should mention.
"And?" Rei prompted her. "Don't act all modest now! We noticed you two off in the corner!" Rei said and Usagi wanted to die. So they had seen Mamoru practically humping her against the wall?! Ami wiggled her brows and she wanted to cover her face in shame.
"You both seemed really into it too!" Ami added and she wasn't sure just how much redder her face could get. They had seen them making out and groping each other... just great.
"Did you guys do it?" Rei asked excitedly, unembarrassed by her bold question and she wanted to smack her for being so blunt.
"We all went home together after the party, you idiots!" she said through clenched teeth, wishing that she could yell at them. "Don't you remember that?!" They were not being logical at all! Rei and Ami merely shrugged.
"I don't know..." Ami wondered. "There's a lot of back rooms in the arcade..." she teased and Usagi tried to suppress her anger because she knew that they were just joking around with her.
"Can we talk about this another time when he isn't sitting less that ten feet away from me?!" she pleaded tightly in a hushed tone, hoping Mamoru wouldn't happen to look in their direction and guess what they were talking about.
"Fine. We'll let you off the hook, for now. But tomorrow we're having a meeting and you'll have plenty of time to elaborate your story there!" Rei said with a smirk.
"I can't believe they got this huge bus just to take us to the beach..." Usagi said randomly, trying desperately to have them drop the subject of her and Mamoru already. Rei nodded in agreement and they both seemed to accept their next topic of discussion.
"It's such a nice bus; do you think that it belongs to Mamoru-san?" Rei wondered out loud, pointing to the recurring monogram that was stitched into almost every fabricated item. 'CINC' was everywhere and even though Mamoru's last name started with 'c' too, she knew that his last name was Chiba, so that couldn't be what it meant.
"I don't think so," she doubted. Even though she knew Mamoru was rich, she didn't think that he was absurdly so to have a damn tour bus at his disposal whenever he wanted. He probably rented this for all they knew.
"I'm surprised that you two haven't figured out just how rich Mamoru-san is..." Ami drawled looking at them as if they totally dumb, but she and Rei were so used to it that they were no longer offended by Ami's looks of superiority. They just learned that if they ignored them, Ami would divulge them with knowledge anyway. "This is Mamoru-san's," Ami said and she pointed at the 'CINC' stitching on the back of the empty chair next to her. "Don't you recognize that logo?"
She and Rei shook their heads, not understanding what she was talking about (even though it did look vaguely familiar...) and Ami just sighed, giving up. She turned around to look at the guys behind them, before looking back at us with a puzzled look.
"Do you think that's Motoki's girlfriend or something?" Ami asked, changing into her catty mode (my, she was in a gossipy mood today!) clearly talking about Cass. Not only was she the only female sitting in the group with the guys, but also she was draped all over Motoki like a possessive girlfriend; one really had to wonder.
"I don't know..." Usagi answered. Although Motoki had denied it, they still seemed pretty close for being 'just friends'. And he could definitely see why he would like her so much, that girl was hot!
"She looks a lot like Koan Crystal," Rei observed and she nodded her head in agreement. Cass did look a lot like a popular celebrity from the magazines they read all the time. "But could that really be her?"
She was about to mention about what Motoki had said about her yesterday, but stopped when she saw a group of girls walk out from the bedroom to their right and stand in front of them. She thought that they were going to greet them at first, but when none spared them a single glance, she wondered why they were even standing so close. That's when she noticed a mirror right behind her and Rei that they were checking themselves in.
There was one with bleach blonde hair in a gray two-piece with a swimming skirt that was tucking her hair carefully under her hair band. The tallest of the three was pining up her dark hair in a bun. She wore a black tankini with a mesh dress over it, that didn't cover her up at all. The third girl had her light brown hair braided and was wearing a long billowy skirt along with a blouse. She was applying sunscreen carefully on her face through the mirror.
It didn't make sense to her why they would have to glam up to go to the beach, but they looked like the type of girls that were just going to stay in the sand and tan anyway. One of them noticed Usagi watching them and gave her a sideways glance. She felt awkward at being caught and looked away quickly. These girls did stuff like this all the time judging by the way they knew their way around the bus so well and she felt really awkward being next to them. They were probably the girls that Motoki and Mamoru hung out with often and were probably wondering who they were right about now...
"I'm Prisma; nice to meet you," the tallest one surprised her. "Sorry my younger sisters don't have any manners," she joked. At her greeting, the other two girls looked at them.
"I'm Usagi. Nice to meet you Prisma-san." She bowed her head slightly. Ami and Rei nodded in acknowledgment, introducing themselves too. The other girls turned toward them and followed suit of their eldest sister.
"I'm Avery," the one with the long skirt said.
"And I'm Bertie," said the blonde, pulling out the chair next Ami. She sat down and pointed to Cassie, who was currently poking Motoki in the neck. ("Who gave you that?" she asked and he swatted her hand away). "And the dumb one over there is our youngest sister, Koan." She and Rei looked at each other quickly; they had been right. Cassie looked up at hearing her name and got up from where she was sitting and walked over to them.
"Hey!" she greeted cheerfully and they smiled at her; she sounded nice, (they all did...) "I'm Cass. Come," she offered, mentioning over to where all the guys were sitting. Usagi and Rei looked at one another and shrugged, followinf Cass back to join Mamoru and company.
Ami stood back, but the rest of them walked over and tried to squeeze themselves to fit into the rest of the seats that weren't occupied. There was a seat on one side of Motoki between him and Chad that Rei practically ran to and that pretty much left her with two choices, (but really no choice at all) which were the two empty spots between Mamoru and Motoki. And even though she would have been much more comfortable sitting next to Motoki, she didn't for the fact that Cassie had been sitting there and it would have been awkward to just take it.
So she was forced to scoot over closer to Mamoru because the only seats available were across from him, next to strangers, which the other girls had already taken anyway. She noticed Prisma sit on the lap of a guy that she hadn't seen before and must have just come from the back room.
He had dark hair and amazingly resembled Mamoru a lot, just looked a little older. She wondered briefly if they were brothers, but she knew that Mamoru was a single child. They must be cousins or something because their similarity in appearance was crazy! The guy noticed that she was looking at him and looked back at her with strikingly familiar blue eyes. ZOMG! Mamoru had a clone!
She looked nervously to her left at the real Mamoru, before taking her seat. He smiled goofily at her, offering her a bottle of alcohol and she smiled back politely, but declined. She could smell the alcohol on his breath; was he drunk already? Goodness, it wasn't even 11am yet!
He casually placed his arm around the outside of the couch, very near to around her shoulders and she took a nervous breath. So maybe he was a little tipsy... She just prayed that he didn't act like a fool in front of all these people.
