"Hey guys what are you doing here? I didn't know we were hanging out today" Amanda said giving her 'friends' a fake smile

"Oh sorry Amanda we must have forgotten" Their friends laughed it off as a joke not knowing how it pained the girl to hear those words, again

"Oh... Well I'm busy so I guess I'll see you at school?" She said but everyone ignored her and she just walked away

She ran and hid behind a tree in the park before anyone could see her tears

She brushed them off before they could fall and sighed.

This wasn't the first time it happened, she should be used to it and not cry because of it

She sat down against the tree and took out a sketpad from her bookbag.

Might as well draw

She looked around the park looking for something to draw and finally saw a girl that was sitting in a bench drinking a smoothie seeming to be lost in thought.

Without thinking, she started drawing her. She had short black hair and brown eyes. She looked to be only a year younger than her. She was wearing black leggings with short shorts on and a purple hoodie with black combat boots.

After a while, she was almost done, when she looked up to get a last look, the girl wasn't there anymore.

She looked to her right and saw her kneeling next to her, looking right at her drawing

"Nice drawing" The mysterious girl said while sipping from her drink

"T-thanks" She stuttered nervously

"So you lonely?" The girl says and sits Indian style in front of her

"L-lonely? Why would I be lonely?" She asks nervously

"Well you look pretty lonely" She said in a matter a fact voice

"Um well I'm not, so you can go now" She said unsurely. She kinda wanted the girl to stay, a complete stranger, maybe she hit her head on a tree or something

"Nah, I'll stay. So why a pretty girl like you alone here?" The girl asked and Amanda blushed at being called pretty

"Um I just wasn't invited by my friends to hang out with them guess they forgot but its fine! It's not the first time" She said the last part to herself sadly

"Well they don't sound like good friends to me" The girl said as she continued to sip from her drink. She guessed it was a chocolate smoothie

"They are! They're great...friends" She quietly said. Who was she kidding? They weren't her friends but without them she would be all alone and she didn't want that

The girl seemed to be looking at her bag now instead of her. Amanda looked at her bag to see what she was looking at and realised she was looking at her high school pin

"You go to Heaven Academy?" The ravenette asks curiously

"Yes, do you go there?" Amanda asks

"Yeah, I wonder why I never met before Oh well" The girl finally stood up and threw away the now empty drink. For a minute Amanda thought that the girl was going to leave but she turned around to look at her as if expecting her to stand up

"You coming?" She said surprising Amanda

"Where?"

"I have a sweet tooth so I'm going to the candy story that's at the end of this street so you coming?" She asked once again and Amanda could only stare at her in shock

"I'm not going anywhere with a total stranger! I don't even know your name!" She yelled

"Well I'm Ayumi, yours?" Ayumi said

"Um Amanda" She said suddenly nervous for some reason

"Well Amanda now that we know each other's name we are no longer strangers so you coming?" Ayumi said and started walking off in the direction to the store

And for some reason Amanda stood up and followed

"Fine! But you're buying me a coffee!"

**

Amanda woke up from another nightmare of when she was with those so called friends of hers.

Life got better after she met Ayumi. They helped each other out and never left each other's side.

They became best friends

"What's a pretty girl like you doing awake at this godly hour?"

She felt arms wrap around her in a comforting manner

"Forget those bastards. If they're not dead, I'll do the job myself" Ayumi grumbled in Amanda's neck and she could only giggle

"Don't worry. I'm fine" Amanda said and closed her eyes

"I'm gonna grope you if you don't go to sleep"

"PERVERT!"

_____________________________

This was kinda short but I got inspired into giving you the origins story of Ayumi and Amanda.

Nothing close to the real thing. I just started singing a song in one of the comment sections in her book and she fell in love with me ;)

Hope this made you feel better, senpai

Senpai and Boo out!
