Hikaru

A few days later...

Lynnon-" Nori!"

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PAUSE

I guess I haven't really talked about Nori that much. A short summary is that Nori is a black female who came to Tokyo from the U.S. similar to Lynnon. She's Lynnon's main friend in her college since they major in the same thing.

OK SORRY

ON WITH THE STORY

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(Nori turns and sees Lynnon her usual cheerful self)

Nori-" Hey girllll~"

(Lynnon sits down)

Nori-" I'm so glad we had that small break. I NEEDED it"

Lynnon-" Mhm"

(Suddenly Nori sees someone walk through the door. Someone she didn't know and was totally digging)

Nori-" Woah~ Hottie alert"

(Lynnon looks over and sees the guy Nori was talking about. He was talking to their Art Professor and they watch as their Professor points in their direction. Suddenly the new guy walks up to their table. He softly waves at them)

Hikaru-" Hi. I'm Hikaru. I'll be sitting with you guys if you don't mind"

(Nori was meanwhile frozen so Lynnon answered)

Lynnon-" Yeah go ahead"

(Hikaru chuckles)

Hikaru-" Thanks"

(As he sits down, Lynnon observes him. Hikaru had a shaggy, black mullet with the ends bleached. He had a silver stud and hanging earing in one ear. He was wearing a button-up, light blue, striped shirt, and ripped jeans. He wore matching vans to finish it off. He looked a similar height to Ezekiel. Seemed right up Nori's ally)

Lynnon-" Why are you coming here late?"

Hikaru-" Heh, I came for my cousin. She's attending things here in Tokyo so I'm here to support her. I saw that this place had good art classes so I decided to come"

Lynnon-" Oh! I totally forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lynnon. It's nice to meet you"

Hikaru-" It's nice to meet you too"

(Suddenly there was silence)

Lynnon-" And~ This is Nori"

(Hikaru looks over at Nori. He becomes a bit confused by her attitude)

Hikaru-" Hello"

(Hikaru says in search of her to finally say something)

Nori-" H-Hi"

Lynnon-" She usually talks a lot more than this. She just thinks your cute"

(Lynnon giggles as Nori play punches her)

Hikaru-" Well I'll take that as a compliment"

(Hikaru smiles but it seemed it was specifically forwarded towards Lynnon. She becomes surprised and looks at him. After class ends, Nori says goodbye, and Lynnon is left packing up her stuff. Suddenly she sees a hand holding a sketchbook of hers. Se looks up and it was Hikaru)

Hikaru-" I think this is yours?"

Lynnon-" Yup. Thanks"

(Hikaru and Lynnon exit the room)

Hikaru-" Do you have a class later?"

Lynnon-" Nope! I'm done for today"

(Lynnon takes a big stretch)

Hikaru-" That's a coincidence. I don't either"

Lynnon-" Well I'm off to eat lunch. Do you want to tag along?"

Hikaru-" If you don't mind"

(Lynnon smiles. The two of them walk down through the halls and talk as they do)

Ezekiel-" Bear?"

(Lynnon and Hikaru turn around to see Ezekiel)

Lynnon-" Oh hey"

(Ezekiel walks up to Lynnon. She reaches for his cheek which now had a bandage. Ezekiel allows her to but his eyes were too focused on Hikaru. He gives him a slight death stare)

Lynnon-" Is your cheek feeling any better"

Ezekiel-" I'm fine, stop worrying"

(Ezekiel takes his eyes off Hikaru and looks down at Lynnon, instantly changing his expression. Lynnon gently removes her hand)

Ezekiel-" Who is this?"

Hikaru-" I'm Hikaru. It's nice to meet you"

(Hikaru reaches out for a handshake but Ezekiel just stares at his hand until he felt too uncomfortable to keep it up)

Ezekiel-" Where were you guys going?"

Lynnon-" We were about to go eat lunch"

Ezekiel-" Just you guys? Nori?"

Lynnon-" She left already. I don't know where she is"

Ezekiel-" Well I guess I'll go with you guys. I was going to lunch anyways"

Lynnon-" O-Ok"

(The three of them begin to walk and though Lynnon might have not noticed, Ezekiel made sure to walk in the middle. Hikaru notices and gets a bit annoyed but doesn't show it)

Lynnon-" Can we eat ramen?"

(Ezekiel looks down at her and softly smiles)

Ezekiel-" Whatever you want"
