Jessica Hernandez-Loera [email protected] " The new kid" part 4 Please don't hate me for making this chapter really short. I hope you like it. Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne After what happened with Van, Hitomi decided to go home instead of accept Amano and Yukari invation to go get some pizza. ' What's the matter with me? Why is this affecting so much? I don't get why I feel so different now that that new boy came' Hitomi thought to herself as she finally reached home. She heard murmurs inside that she didn't recognize. She opened the door and saw two people seated with her parents on the couch. One had on a buisness suit and the other had on a lovely dress. " Hitomi, welcome home. Please meet Mr. and Mrs. Fanel. Mr. Fanel is in the same buisness as your father (don't ask because I don't know what buisness he's in). I heard from them that their son Van goes to the same school as you," Mrs. Kanzaki said. Hitomi freaked with that bit of information.' Great, not only am I confused on what's going on with me and him, but now it turns out that Van's dad is in the same buisness as my dad.' She bowed in front of them." Please to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Fanel." " We're so glad to meet you too Hitomi. We've heard alot about you from our son," Mrs. Kanzaki commented. ' I wonder what he said to them about me?' Hitomi thought." If you'll excuse me, I need to go do my homework. It was a pleasure to meet you." Mr. and Mrs. Fanel nodded in agreement. Hitomi climbed the stairs to her room. She could hear the murmurs continue downstairs as she closed the door behind her. She didn't really have homework to do. That was just an excuse to leave the room. She plopped down on her bed and decided it was time for a nap. There's part 4. Again, sorry if it was so short but I'm pressed for time. I'll introduce Allen and the rest of the characters soon enough. I just need the perfect opportunity to introduce them. Please review and please, no flames (I heard that expression on another fanfic and I decided to use it. I guess it means no mean comments or something). Well, bye. I'll have part 5 up tomorrow.
