The Idol Story 2 Chapter 2 Childhood Friend

After a while I noticed chieri turning around, "Is something wrong?"I inquired. She just ignores me, "Why are you following us?" as it turns out a first-year student with blonde hair was following us for a while now. The first year looked a littlefamiliar, she notices that I'm looking at her, I noticed how much she resembles a kid that i used to play with

6 years ago. "Uzuki?" I called out trying to confirm if she's THAT blonde kid from back then. "wait, you know this girl kasumi?" chieri asks as she turns back to me. Before I manage to say anything the blonde-haired first year approaches me. She suddenly hugged me, "I can't believe that it's really you, sumi-nee" She lets me go and I notice that she has tears running down her cheeks.

So I was right... it is her.She wipes the tears that was previously dripping down her face with a handkerchief. "How long has it been? 6 years?" I asked but before we got to continue talking chieri still a little confused on what just happened cuts in on our conversation, "that's enough chit-chat for now, Lunch is almost over" i check my watch as she said that.

"Let's continue this later after school" I said to uzuki as me and chieri started walking to the school cafeteria, "she's still as cute as ever" uzuki muttered her face turning bright red.

We go to the Cafeteria with only a few more minutes left to grab something to eat. What should I have for lunch today... before I got to decide on what to eat chieri suddenly asks me a question,

"Who was that girl?" "She's a girl that I used to play with 6 years ago" I replied as we started lining up to get some food. A childhood friend, huh? She muttered to herself, We finally got some food and finished eating right at the moment the school bell rings.

After school I found uzuki waiting for me at the school's entrance, she's reading a what seems to look like

a light novel of some kind and instantly notices me and approached me and chieri.

"I gotta go kasumi" Chieri said as she leaves me with uzuki. "I still can't believe that i got to see you again" uzuki repeats what she said earlier and hugs me once again. "You haven't changed at all, uzuki" she lets me go.

We continued to talk for a few minutes, my phone suddenly rings. I took it out of my pocket and saw that it's a call from my father. "I gotta answer this, gonna be right back" I said as I walked to a corner of the school campus to answer the call, "h.e.l.lo? dad?" I said as I answered his call. "I'm right around the corner. I'm gonna pick you up" he said then hanged up.

He's picking me up? Now that I think about it... he did say on his text message this morning that he had something that he wants to discuss something with me. I walked back to the school entrance where I left uzuki and told her about my father picking me up, as I told her my father arrived in his car at the front of the campus and i got in his car.

"So... Kasumi would you like to be an idol?" dad asked me as he drives both of us back home."an idol?" "yes, are you interested?" Is this what he wanted to discuss? I asked him to confirm if my guess was right, "Is this what you want to discuss?" "you could say that" I thought about it for a little bit... "I guess I could give a shot." he smiles. We arrived at home as I answered him.

We both got off his car, "ok, you know where our talent agency is, right?" "I don't."
