Tokyo-Zion Academy Times

Summer is about to end. The residents of Fuji Apartments have to look towards their futures. Hallie still doesn't know what she wants. Everyone seems to be leaving her behind. Her father issues an ulimatim-- do something with her life or be thrown out in the streets. Hallie's time and freedom are running out as she tries to act before summer draws to a close.

Summer brings more heat and love. However, it raises tempers and brawls-- fun and serious-- go off. However, leave it to a few exes and former flames to ruin everything and make things more complicated. Meanwhile, Choko looks for love in the hot plumber she met last time.

Peaceful times aren't easy. So, Choko takes the residents for a little beach trip. Sadly, even the sun, sand, and sea can't cool heated tempers. Too many schemes, hook-ups, and competitions heat up every day. With so much going on at Fuji Apartment, does anybody get time to rest for the summer?

Two girls are enough. But, who's this third girl in the mix? Heather looks all sweet and doe-eyed with her baby doll face. Hallie and Evie hare her already. Another guy in the mix doesn't help matters either. The best thing to do is duck and cover. The war is heating up. On your marks... Get set... Fight!

Saturday Work

Saturday Morning.

All Hallie wanted to do was sleep in. Her date last night? She squealed to herself in her room last night.

“That good, huh?” Choko asked.

“Uh-huh,” her niece said before going to bed. Hallie kept such memories in her dreams as she slept.

This morning, different story.

A knock came on Hallie’s door. She groaned in her bed.

“Go away!” she yelled under the covers.

“Hallie!” her aunt wailed. “I need your help!”

“No!” Hallie wailed.

“Please!”

“Let me sleep!”

Hallie wandered down to the dining hall. Honestly, she didn’t want to end up here at all. The bright pink and yellow walls disgusted her, but after this morning’s confirmation, escape felt needed. Hallie took a seat at the bar. Choko looked up from cleaning a glass.

“Niecey!” she said. Hallie breathed out as she rolled her eyes.

“Hey,” she mumbled. Her aunt noticed her face. “What’s the matter?”

Hallie glanced at her. “Met the neighbors,” she said.

“Oh,” Choko said. “Evie?”

“Yeah,” her niece grumbled. Choko leaned in close.

“And Hal?” she whispered with a smile. Hallie blushed. Her aunt grinned.

“Ah! You have!” she cheered. Hallie looked away with a red face.

Sparks

Not many people like competition. Evie Carter hates it dearly. She loved being queen. Ever since birth, Evie had been spoiled. Her dad constantly told her how pretty she was. Her mom gave her almost anything she wanted. Even her neighbors and teachers spoiled Evie as well. She saw herself as the star of the show.

But now, she has a problem.

Evie doesn’t like competition. Men were number one on that list. Oh yes, she loved the attention on her. No tomboy was stealing her thunder. She waited until Hal and Hallie made it back to Fuji Apartments. The fox trailed them back to the fifth floor. When she saw where her rival lived, Evie formulated a plan. First would come the warning.

The next morning, Evie knocked on Hallie’s door. She waited until it opened a crack.

“Yes?” Hallie asked as she peeked out. Evie cleared her throat.

“You new here?” she asked.

Hallie rushed inside, panting. She trembled all over. Fuck!, she thought. I’m not supposed to enjoy this place! My parents trapped me here. I should hate this place! Hallie took in a deep breath.

“Right,” she mumbled. “Back to more exploring.” Hallie looked around her current location. Pitch dimness. She tried to get a look. A puzzled look came onto her face.

Is that a pinball machine?, she thought. Hallie felt around for the lights. At last, she found the switch. Got ya!, she thought. Hallie flipped on the lights. That’s better. Hallie looked around again. Well, that was a pinball machine in the back corner. Two to be exact. Twelve Mac computers to the right. Three PCs sat next to them. A DJ booth sat up ahead of her. Flat screen TV against the left wall. A fluffy orange sofa sat in the middle of the room with dark green chairs. Hallie blinked amazed.

“What is this place?” she asked.

“The Chill Out lounge,” a voice said behind her. Hallie whipped around. Pool boy stood in the doorway, smiling. Hallie’s cheeks fired red again.

“What?” she asked. The boy took a step forward.

“We call this the Chill Out lounge,” he explained. “This is our game room. Sometimes we have parties here.” Hallie took another look around.

“Wow,” she whispered. The boy smiled and held out his hand.
