We walked along the pavement which was lined with a soft hazy yellow from the streetlamps.

"I swear if you like pineapple on pizza you'll go back to being my enemy" she said in a serious tone.

"no way that stuff is poisonous" I shoot back at her, hands in the pockets of my jacket. She nodded, letting out a relieved sigh

"good"

I let out a satisfied puff of air which materialized in the cold around me and glanced at her. Narumi was tapping away on her phone, brow creased in concentration. "okay the closest pizza place is like 5 minutes away" she said handing me her phone to show me.

I squinted my eyes and zoomed in to look at the place before giving her my nod of approval and her phone back.

She grinned and her pace quickened as she directed me to pizza express.

Our walk ended with a run as soon as we saw the shop and our mouths started salivating as well as the cold which was getting too much to bear when we could see all that hot pizza being served inside. We made a beeline for the little booth in the corner and plopped down, taking off our jackets.

"I'm STARVING" she grumbled calling a waiter over "I'll have peperoni pizza medium size"

"make that a large" I cut in

"and two cokes please" she finished off. The waiter hurried off and we resumed our talking. Narumi placed the menus upright and used them to block off our faces

"what are you doing?" I asked eyebrow quirked and an amused look on my face

"well we've got to come up with a secret plan to break up my friend and Kaminari" she whispered

"yeah but there's no one we know here"

"STILL this is top secret... I feel like part of some kind of melodrama"

I rolled my eyes and ducked behind the menus

"okay so what were you thinking of?" she asked

"well do you know where the date is?"

"At some Park- probably the one we were just at and then they're going to a restaurant"

"okay when?"

"Day after tomorrow" I gave her a smug look and her brow furrowed in response "why?"

"We have all of tomorrow to get stuff to ruin it"

"like what?" she threw her hands up dramatically with an over exaggerated sigh

"Laxatives"

"OOH yeah" her eyes glistened and she leaned closer again

"we have to come up with a way to make her late as well so it starts off bad" I added. Narumi nodded in agreement and she began chewing her lip in thought.

"we can also mess with the sprinklers in the park and get it to spray her"

"mhm yeah we can totally do that" I giggled just as the pizza came and we both dug in, stuffing our faces.

When we finished, we paid and left swiftly, eager to get home to sleep for our busy day tomorrow. Narumi guided me to the street that led to her house bubbling with excitement- something about the expression on her friends face when everything starts going to hell.

We eventually made it to her front door and she turned to me briefly "okay we have to be quiet my parents are probably asleep and so's my sister"

"kay"

She unlocked the door with her set of keys, we both took our shoes off and she led me to her room through the darkness since the lights were all off. We made it into what I'm assuming is her room and she flipped the light switch on and closed the door, beaming at me.

"welcome to your room for the next couple days" she said gesturing around her and flopping onto her Queen sized bed. Her walls were painted a cream colour and she had posters all around her room of a ton of indie bands. She had a purple carpet and scented candles which were dotted around the room along with a pile of dirty clothes which were stuffed at the bottom of her closet which was busted open from the amount which were spilling out.

She followed my gaze and chuckled "yeah I'm not the cleanest"

"I feel ya dude- it be like that sometimes" I shrugged and joined her on the bed after dropping my bag on the floor.

"okay so plug in your phone here" she said gesturing to another plug socket beside her bedside table. "and you can shower after me- I'll be about 15 minutes. So yeah make yourself at home" she finished, getting up from her bed and plucking some clothes from her mountain and scurryed out. I walked around for a while, looking at the posters and cluttered table of makeup in front of her mirror. I went back to my bag and took out some of the clothes and placed them on some hangers and in her closet leaning over the mountain. I put in my charger where she said and plugged in my phone which was dead by now. I thought about how dead I was gonna be when my dad found out I was gone.

'I'll text him in the morning saying that i'm not kidnapped by a villain and that i'm okay'

I flop back down and stretched on the bed letting out a satisfied noise, when I felt my hand brush against something under her pillow.

I lifted the pillow and gaped at the pictures of Kaminari from old yearbook photos.

'No way'

'He was a lil baby with chubby cheeks!'

There were some from a sports festival of some kind where both Narumi and Kaminari were taking a team photo. Big white smiles and peace signs everywhere and the small (but noticeable) blush Narumi had in the picture. Her hair was up in a sloppy pony tail with strands falling out.

"cute right?"

I looked up from the pictures seeing Narumi already in her pyjamas with her hair in a towel.

"Kaminari and I went to the same middle school. That's when everything started."

I gave her a confused look and she sat down next to me, taking the pictures from my hands.

"On my first day of middle school I was really nervous. But as soon as I got into class there was this girl- she was blonde and had these warm honey coloured eyes. She was arguing with some of the boys in the classroom with a band of girls around her. I don't even remember what they were arguing about, but everyone could tell how charismatic and bold she was from the beginning. She could carry the room with a simple smile. Her popularity was inevitable from that moment and somehow I ended up in her friend group- never someone who contributed much though, I was more of the quiet type. For some reason I guess that made me seem kind and reliable since I wasn't about to go and spill secrets about someone, like some of the other girls in our class. Maybe that's why I became her closest friend. It got to the point when she would tell me everything and I would just smile and nod or something like that. One day she told me about this boy from one of the other classes and said she'd point him out to me at lunch. You can guess who that was" she said looking up from the pictures for the first time. She paused. I didn't know what to say. I never do in these types of awkward situations.

"She was popular and so was he. There was no reason for them to not date, so they did." She said looking back at the photos, sadness laced in her voice, and switched to the sports festival one and I noticed the blonde haired girl next to Kaminari. "They went out for almost the whole length of middle school, and it was the most painful thing to witness especially since she made it a point to tell me everything that happened when they were together because apparently 'that's what best friends do'" she said in a girlish voice. "But near the end... her eyes started to drift to another boy who was just transferred to our school in the last year. They started to see each other secretly and that was the worst part. I knew that she was cheating on him- the boy I liked- but couldn't say anything because if I did that would make me friendless." She put the pictures down, went up to the mirror, and undid the towel from her head to brush her hair. "He found out but it wasn't me who told him- surprisingly" she said raising her eyebrows. "since then he made it his life's mission to go out with other girls to try and make her jealous and I guess now" she put down the brush "now I guess it's become a habit." She turned to face me with glossy eyes and a small smile "but I think he's just lonely now"

"Holy shit. And you're the one saying that I have a life like a movie" I said back at her. She chuckled and handed me a clean towel.

"I don't want him to see me as just another one of his girls though. I want to be THE girl y'know?" she sat back down next to me

"yeah I see what you mean. But the only way around that- or at least how I see it- is that you've got to make friends with him first and make sure he values you so he won't treat you like the others" 

Narumi nodded. "right. So what's the game plan?"
