RPC: Gossip
Pippa could only sigh at Aimi, she should have expected this from her. “I know, I know!” She pouted at her but didn’t say anything anymore because her attention went from Aimi to Rush. To say she was entertained at seeing him blush was understatement too. It’s very seldom to see a guy blush and Pippa was amused to see it firsthand from Rush whom she wouldn’t think is capable of doing such act, especially in front of a girl. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from laughing. She didn’t want him to think she’s laughing at his expense. Hearing his cough, Pippa glanced at him again, noting his controlled embarrassment. She smiled guiltily, “No it’s not that, of course not. It’s because I heard from the healer that you’ve had head injury, so I thought….” She paused, “...you have to skip school to fully recuperate. But I’m glad to see you well and good Rush, really.” Her smile turned to laughter at the mention of lessons. She knew exactly what he’s talking about, “Ah that…yes…I guess I owe you that. I’m sorry, I was too sleepy and tired that time.” She wanted to stay longer but her eyes were already closing on its own due to exhaustion. Pippa chuckled, if he’s trying to impress her, he would need to do better than this, “Of course, how could I have missed that. I forgot how STRONG you were when I saw you at the Stadium.” Her smile faltered, not liking the image in her mind as it showed her how Rush called for help while she’s unable to do it herself. “Why did I even bother worrying…” she muttered while rolling her eyes at him. “Your dad is very nice by the way, he allowed me to go inside the room to see you.” She absentmindedly played with the newspaper on her lap. At his expression of gratitude, Pippa smiled at him again, “We’re friends, right? And friends do care for each other.” She said tenderly.
She could feel Aimi’s stare after she introduced Rush to them, Pippa did her best not to react. There’s nothing to explain here, she’s merely introducing the guy to her friends because…they’re supposed to be friends too, right? She knew Aimi has questions but she doesn’t have any answer at the moment. They’ll find time in school to discuss about this. Instead of glancing her friend’s way, Pippa looked at Esme when Aimi confirmed the card was for the younger girl. “I didn’t know you love Card Captor Sakura. Although I’m not familiar with the cartoon character, I saw the cards and they’re cute!” Amina shared that Aimi went with them to HongKong, her eyes narrowed at Aimi, "You did? Oh sure next time i would love to go with you!"
Chasity came, followed closely by Ceci who announced she brought some snacks. “Girls! You’re right on time! I was about to share something!!” Pippa looked from Rush to the girls, hoping he will not feel out of place, but looks like someone else’s about to be tangled in the middle of gossiping girls when Pippa noticed Carter there. “Hey Carter, don’t be a stranger, come join us.” She glanced from Chasity to the guy, her friend would love to have him here of course. “By the way girls, have you met Rush? Rush, these are my friends, Chasity and Cecilia, and that guy is Carter.” She pointed at them as she introduced each to Rush. Now everyone’s here, Pippa leaned forward to her friends (with permission from Aimi's writer to say this here), “Sooo…I went to attend Aimi’s coronation….it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life! She's beautiful in her princess gown” She raised her hand, “But! But! But that’s not the only thing I’ve found interesting…” She leaned even closer, “Aimi has a boyfriend in Japan!” Of course, she’s exaggerating things here, can’t blame a girl who’s giddy about Aimi’s admirers. She wanted her friends to tease her anyway so why not make it fun! The arrival of Raijin distracted her for a while, she just saw the guy a while ago and now here again but she knew he came here for Caiofe.
