Maybe,it wasn't so bad having Manaka around..
During class,I looked out the window daydreaming and not paying attention."Hinamori-San!"my teacher called on me.I looked up on the board and completely forgotten what he said,or what the board said."Can you answer number 6 please?"he said sternly."U-Un.."I looked at my book nervously."S-Sensei!!"Manaka shouted waving her hand around."Yes?"
"May I answer the question for her?Please?"Manaka asked eagerly.The teacher hesitated,then lifted his glasses up to the bridge of his nose."Ok.Just this once."he said.Manaka answered the question quickly and I was saved.I should thank her later on.During lunch break,I sat under a tree,not bothering to go to the meeting."Amu-chan,are you sure it's ok to skip the meeting?"Ran asked nervously."Whatever.Its not like we have anything to discuss about."I said looking up at the cherry blossoms that were beginning to bloom."Its going to be summer soon!"Su said happily."Amu-chan!!!!!!!!!!!"I heard Manaka call.I sighed and stood up."Amu-chan!I've been looking all over for you!"she cried waving me over."Yea,Yea,What do you want from me?"I asked."Aren't you going to the meeting?"she asked.I shrugged,hands in my pockets."If you don't know..."Manaka grabbed my wrist and started dragging me."Then let's go!"
"Why?"I groaned."Come on,the others are waiting!"she said speeding up.I sighed and followed after her.
                          
I plopped down on my seat in the Royal Garden sighing."So,Manaka-chan,how was your day?"Nadeshiko asked. "Today was great!"Manaka answered."I got my cape,and gave a speech in the assembly,and everyone was clapping and cheering my name!"she smiled not even showing a hint of bragging."But then,Amu-chan wasn't there,so it wasn't perfect.."she glanced at me.I looked away."S-So,when Ran and the others went to get you guys.."I said loudly.They looked at me."You were still in school when I was being convinced to turn?!"
"Turn?"Yaya said worriedly."You mean to the bad side?"Kukai said.
                          
I nodded."But then-"
"No excuses.I managed to get out myself,and 15 minutes after Ran,Miki,and Su went out,you guys,are still running around the school!What were you doing?!"I shouted."We were at the assembly."Tadase said."Oh,So the assembly is more important than a friend getting kidnapped by an enemy?"I said my face red."Cause it looks like it!You guys all didn't want to miss the assembly because of Manaka,and here,"I rolled up my sleeve a little showing them the red marks on both my wrists from the chains.

                          
"I'm getting hurt,and you guys are just slacking around all because of a no big deal assembly!"I yelled storming out.I heard silent whispering as I walked out,frustrated."And because of that,I'm not going to tell them any secrets from now on."I said quietly."Amu-chan!!"Ran,Miki and Su flew after me.The bell rang for the end if lunch break and I walked in front of a tree.I climbed it,and reached the top,looking at the view."Amu-chan,shouldn't you be going to class?"Miki asked.

                          
"I'm not going to class."I said glancing at the Royal Garden."And they don't even go after me."I muttered."What good friends they are.."I said sarcastically.I saw them walk out of the Royal Garden and to class,like I had never been there.I sighed an took my diamond egg out.Somehow,I managed to know her name.Dia.
