When Love Hurts 37
hii! I've been too busy lately.. that's why I haven't been around so much these days, but here I am again!

When Love Hurts 37
********************

The cafeteria was desert. It wasn’t lunch time yet, but Nono always liked to be there before the others so she could enjoy her meal without any distraction. Some chicken, a salad, a bowl of rice and a big piece of cake that the waitress always reserved specially for her.

But this time, when she was ready to attack the dessert, a bunch of girls came into the room running directly towards her.

“We have to a… ask you… a favour” said Risa breathless because of the running.

“Huh?”

“Yesterday we discovered something about Rika-chan and we need you to ask her about it” said Ai-chan.

Nono seemed too distracted with her cake and didn’t pay attention at first.

“Non-chan? You’ve heard us?” asked Makoto a little pissed off.

This time Nozomi raised her head and looked at her friends with killer eyes.

“I’m bfuzy, azk Sfhibyachfan” said finally pointing to the components of Melon Kinenbi who had just arrived.

The girls were still looking at her without having any idea of what she said. There were just a few privileged persons who could understand Nono when she had her mouth full, and there wasn’t anyone of them around. She tucked away the remains of the cake and sighted with satisfaction before repeat again what she said.

“Shiba-chan. She’s Rika’s best friend, remember? If there’s someone who…”

“Eri!” exclaimed Makoto cutting Nozomi’s words and turning to the younger “Go and bring Shiba-chan here”

“Why me…?”

“Now!”

Kamei obeyed, not without complaint a little more before, and went to the side of the cafeteria where the four girls were. Nono saw how the younger whispered something in Shibata’s ear. Ayumi smiled, made a gesture to her friends and then followed Eri.

“Kamei-chan told me that you need to ask me something” she said sitting next to Nozomi “What’s it?”

Owaga turned the chair and sat in front of Shibata as if she was going to begin an interrogation. But before she could say a word, Nono ask Risa to made Mako-chan shut up before she could say something too direct.

“It’s about Rika-chan. The girls discovered something and wanna ask you about it”

“Well…” said Shibata interested “I don’t know if I’ll be able to help you, but ask”

Makoto tried to speak again but this time was Ai-chan who overtook her.

“Yesterday we saw Rika-chan and…”

Suddenly, Takahashi went silent when a little tremor shook the room. All the girls looked at each other a little freaked out but seeing that it wasn’t a big thing they relaxed again.

“It’s ok, it was just a short one” said Shiba-chan “So, what were you sa…”

Then, the ‘big brother’ came.

“You have plans with Yossi today?”

“No. She’s going to dinner with her family tonight”

“So, you’re free?” asked Aya happily.

“Yeah, but I was planning to spend the night at home. I’m really tired lately”

Miki could see the deception in the eyes of her friend. Maybe she should try to spend more time with her, bring things to normal again. It couldn’t be so difficult…

“You could make me company, if you want”

“Sure! I’ll bring some dvds and tha…”

Both girls felt the ground tremble a little and, quickly, Miki took Aya’s hand.

“Don’t worry, Tan” she said knowing how much Miki hated earthquakes “It was just a li…”

The next that Aya could remember it was Miki holding her tightly.
