《Red Rays》 Moment Slowly, slowly the sun falls to its slumber. As the red rays passes through everything transforming it into bright red. While taking my leave on a train I noticed that I should have looked at the sun. Because this will be the last time I can see it in its beautiful and exquisite form. I should¡¯ve just looked at it. As I ride the train on my way back home. It¡¯s getting darker¡­ darker and colder and then night falls. Covering all the sky into pitch-black. But it isn¡¯t so bad¡­ because whenever its night time. The stars wakes up ¡­ they shine so bright yet always far apart from each other. I wonder why? Hm is it because¡­. ¡°Hey wake up! Stop daydreaming¡± ¡°Huh? Where am I?¡± ¡°Make sure to lock up okay? We¡¯ll be home next week.¡± I¡¯m in my house¡­. My parents are supposed to be going on a business trip for a week. *Scratches his back* That was a dream huh? It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m getting hungry, convenience store is pretty far away¡­ 15 minutes maybe? Well its for dinner so there¡¯s no helping it. As soon as I got back home from the convenience store I noticed that it was already this late. I went upstairs in my room and hit the sack. I was excited what tomorrow brings me. *RING!!* The alarm clocks rings loudly in the quiet morning, as I opened the door in the balcony I can hear the birds singing, the warm breeze and rustling sound of vehicles. On my way to school I usually walk slowly. I wonder why myself? Maybe I just hate to be first in the classroom to arrive. I¡¯m a transferee anyway so maybe being late in my first day wouldn¡¯t be that bad¡­ I guess As soon as I arrived at school gate many students where going in. I was nervous ¡­ so nervous that I had to stick my back and walk like a robot. I got inside ¡­ I need to find the faculty office. So I asked randomly. ¡°U-um excuse me? Where can I find the faculty office?¡± ¡°Right around the corner on that hall¡± ¡°Thanks¡± Today¡¯s a good day for me. I never thought that my first conversation in this school would be a girl. My heart still pounding.. There¡¯s no helping since the only close girl to is my mom and the girl that I met in that park where I used to play. Hmm? I wonder where¡¯s that girl now? All I can remember is her red fiery hair. I got into the faculty office and passed my papers. I followed my homeroom teacher and arrived at the classroom. The room was bustling with students.. I was scared because I might not be able to fit in. They all look like they know each other a lot. The teacher stepped in the classroom gaining the attention of all the students. Focusing their eyes and ears to their teacher only. The classroom instantly became quiet. The teacher spoke of a transferee. Everyone lightened up and was excited to know who it might be. ¡°Come and introduce yourself.¡± Teacher said ¡°Yes!¡± I replied with all my might, all of my anxieties .. all of it released with a ¡°yes¡±. A simple word that can even muster up courage. ¡°My name is Michael, 16 yrs old , I-I hope we can get along everyone.¡± When I was in front, my line of sight gradually increased. And there I saw that girl¡­ Who is beautiful as the sun in my dream. Those red bright hair and big eyes ¡­ Yes this day.. the day that I will never forget. The teacher told me to sit right next to the girl with the red hair. Is this fate? Maybe not.. But the fact that I get to sit next to a beautiful girl is nice. So I sat and look at her. ¡°H-Hi! I hope we can get along.¡± ¡°Hm.¡± She nods. Maybe that was a little too friendly. Time passes so fast, its already lunch break. Maybe I could ask her to show me arou¡­? She¡¯s gone that was fast. Well I guess the rooftop will be nice. I left the classroom and decided that I will go to the rooftop. I walked and walked until I finally arrived. It¡¯s a perfect day to be in the rooftop all alone here enjoying the spring wind. It can¡¯t be help since I don¡¯t have a friend. The sun was never to be found, I looked and looked but I can¡¯t find it. The clouds seems so desperate in hiding the sun, like protecting its queen. There¡¯s no helping it ¡­ I¡¯ll just eat here alo¡ªne¡­ In my line of sight I found her¡­ The girl with the red hair. I wondered if she was all alone.. like me or maybe she does have friends but decided to eat alone. My heart is telling me to talk to her, so I talked to here. ¡°A-are you all alone?¡± said it with a nervous tone. ¡°Y-yeah¡± ¡°I know this is a bit too sudden but would you eat lunch together with me?¡± I said it!! I said it!! Is she creeped out? Yeah she is I can feel it. When I look up straight to her face ¡­ I never expected that I could see her lovely smile. The smile that made me fall for her. ¡°Of course¡± smiles. And so we ate lunch together. Man I hope that this could last forever. Being with her makes me nervous. I can¡¯t think of anything. Hahah mental block. Lunch break is almost over, and I haven¡¯t strike up a conversation yet. ¡°Say? Why did you transfer here?¡± ¡°O-Oh um ¡­ I don¡¯t really know myself either, Its just that whenever I- never mind.¡± ¡°Oh is that so?¡± I almost spouted crap. She looks the other way and sighs. ¡°By the way my name is Rose¡± Rose that¡¯s a normal name for someone as beautiful as her. I thought it would be something fancier like ¡°Alexandra¡± or ¡°Elizabeth¡±. ¡°Hey! Is my name really that weird?¡± eyebrows furrowed. ¡°N-no No I just thought that you have a fancier name.¡± ¡°H-h-Huh? Like what?¡± ¡°L-like Elizabeth¡± Pfffffttt!! ¡°Hahahaha what ki---kind of name is that?¡± She¡¯s enjoying herself. So she has this side of her huh? That¡¯s a bit surprising. Because I thought she would give me the cold shoulder. ¡°Y-you , you¡¯re a funny person.¡± laughing ¡°hahahaha your exaggerating.¡± And so lunch break passed by, I wonder if we can have an enjoyable time like that again. Every minute felt like forever when I¡¯m with her. Her words felt like a prayer. The tone of her voice was calm as the sea breeze. I ¡­ I really hit it hard huh? This emotion inside my heart. I think I¡¯ve fallen for her. Encompassing the boundaries of the school building as far as my eye can see, the quadrilateral-shaped courtyard. Boys and girls mingle here with each other during their lunch breaks. After school, lovers exchange sweet nothings in the dimming sunset behind the school building, when you look at it up close, its so much like they¡¯re trying out for some drama. No matter how you look at it its ridiculous. Well for someone like me who hasn¡¯t been in a relationship can¡¯t really cope up with those things. I¡¯m just saying that, I want to meet my soulmate and fall in love with her. But to think that I will be in love with Rose is such a surprise. 1st years and the 3rd years has eyes on her because she¡¯s too dazzling and to- to think that I would have lunch with her is already a blessing. Ah I feel like I could cry now. With that I have reached my conclusion. How about I make her fall in love with me. I¡¯m good looking , and fit plus I have a charismatic voice ¡­ I wanna confess to her but let¡¯s see what happens if I go passive mode. But I always have this feeling when I¡¯m with her¡­ Why do I feel so attracted to her, not just her beauty but her aura? It¡¯s been a week since I came to this school. And I haven¡¯t talked to her since then. When I see her look at me, I can¡¯t help but to avoid contact. I can¡¯t look at her face anymore. I always go to the rooftop to eat lunch¡­ hoping just hoping she will be there. But she never did comeback in this place. Hah what do you expect to happen? She will always be there? Cut that crap. Well there¡¯s no helping it ¡­ After school I remembered something. I took the long road and went to the park. Where I used to play with that girl. Sure brings back memories ¡­ She was always left out and I keep reaching out to her. I wonder where she is right now¡­ ¡°Maybe its time to go back.¡± Sigh That moment when the wind brushed into my cheeks I felt surprised. I never thought you will be there ¡­ sitting , waiting for someone. I want to approach you, I want to talk to you. But even if I do there will still be no progress. *PICTURE* ¡°Huh?¡± Oh we made eye contact. ¡°H-Hey! Rose.¡± Damn ¡­ These emotions I¡¯ve been holding the entire week bursts like a torrent. ¡°Coincidence meeting you here¡­ hehe.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ what are you doing here Michael?¡± ¡°I remembered someone¡­¡± ¡°Someone?¡± ¡°Yeah I used to play with her in this park ¡­ she was always left out of the group you see¡­ so I keep reaching out for her. Just so she could smile. Pretty weird isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°H-H-Huh? O-Oh yeah¡± Something¡¯s wrong with her tone, she seems somewhat nervous ¡­ or am I imagining things. ¡°I wonder what¡¯s that girl doing right now.¡± I see so that was him. He remembered everything ¡­ That we used to play in this very park. This feels so nice , but I bet he doesn¡¯t remember my face anymore. Since we have been apart for 6 years. ¡°It¡¯s almost time, I have to go Michael.¡± ¡°O-Okay¡± Wait I have still something to say to you Rose ¡­ Damn why am I holding back, this is stupid. ¡°U-Um Rose!!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Thanks , for listening to my story ¡­ If I were to remember she has the same color as your hair.¡± ¡°Y-Yeah.¡± In the end I could never tell Rose what I wanted to say ... I wanted to have lunch together with you ¡­ I want to be always by your side. I- I¡­ As I went home the sky was getting darker. The streets is full of people day and night. ¡°I¡¯m home¡± ¡°Welcome back , what do you want for dinner?¡± ¡° Today I¡¯ll pass..¡± I went to my room and I could feel my energy draining away¡­ I feel so tired, That conversation with Rose took all of my energy. I¡¯m falling asleep ¡­ I woke up early as usual , eat breakfast and head out to school. Today ¡­ I hope this will be a good day. I arrived at school too early ¡­ I looked at my classroom¡¯s window ¡­ I saw a silhouette of a girl looking at me. I ran desperately to find who that girl is ¡­ It must be Rose. I was about to open the door of the classroom, but I hesitated ¡­*sigh* I left the hallway then proceeded to the rooftop. As I opened the door I could sense that the wind will blow strong. I was enjoying myself in the rooftop I didn¡¯t noticed that time passed by so fast that I missed my first period. Well, there¡¯s no helping it ¡­ Its so relaxing. *Door opens* What¡¯s that sound? The door ¡­ aah maybe they found me out that I was skipping class. Too bad I wanted to stay here until school is done. ¡°M-Michael what are you doing here?¡± That voice , the sound of that voice. I¡ªit ¡­. always makes my heart beat really fast. Its really her. ¡°Rose? Fancy meeting you here, skipping class?¡± ¡°Kind of ¡­ ¡° Wow that¡¯s surprising. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°No I was just surprised , to think that you would skip class.¡± ¡°Is it really that surprising? Well ¡­ It¡¯s just that when I saw you walk at the hallway I just couldn¡¯t ignore you, are you having a hard time hanging out with our classmates?¡±If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. ¡°Are you ¡­ that girl I saw on the window?¡± She was worried. She thinks that I can¡¯t keep up to everybody. As long as you¡¯re here , I don¡¯t need those so called friends. ¡°Y-Yeah , but what gives?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you open the door? I¡ªI wanted to talk to you, you know..¡± I can¡¯t believe it ¡­ I can¡¯t believe it , She¡¯s so red , it gone up all the way to her ears. ¡°Sorry , I just didn¡¯t know that was you ¡­ Well I had a feeling.¡± ¡°O-Oh really? Then that¡¯s okay.¡± sighs The feelings that I have today ¡­ can be my hope for tomorrow. I want to ask you out , but I can¡¯t. Something¡¯s holding me back. ¡°What¡¯s the matter Michael?¡± ¡°Oh nothing ¡­ Its just that when I speak to you , all my worries suddenly disappears. It would be nice to be like this , you know.¡± ¡°H-Huh? What are you talking ab-bout?¡± *startled* She is so red. ¡°Hey.¡± ¡°Your hair ¡­ is so beautiful , the moment I laid my eyes on you I couldn¡¯t help it but be awed..¡± She¡¯s gone quiet , maybe I said too much ¡­ but it doesn¡¯t matter . I want to convey my feelings ¡­ little by little. She stood up. ¡°Michael ¡­. Thank you always¡± ¡°A¡ªAlways?¡± ¡°Oh nothing¡± said with saddened look. She looks disappointed, is something missing here? Am I forgetting something? The look on her face .. I feel like someone stabbed my heart. Tch!! I can¡¯t stand it! ¡°Rose!!¡± ¡°I know we don¡¯t always see each other and I¡¯ve been thinking this time¡­ that I want to be your¡­¡± Woah! Is he confessing to me? I¡¯m not yet ready for this ¡­ stupid Michael , you probably don¡¯t remember me do you? But why I now? Why do I feel so hot , Its like my heart is going to burst ¡­ ¡°R-Rose I want you to be my ¡­.¡± Go me!! You can do it ¡­ Its now or never !! ¡°I want you to be my friend!!¡± ¡°Huh?? What?? ¡­ Ehhhh!!!??¡± I thought he was going to confess to me ¡­ I totally got the wrong idea , but this atmosphere suits for a confession. ¡°Rose? Are you okay? Do you have a c-cold?? Your so red¡­ um wait I¡¯ll carry you to the nurse office¡­ just take it easy okay?¡± He¡¯s never change¡­ He¡¯s always like this , kind and selfless.*giggle* ¡°Pffft ! Hahahaha its alright , I¡¯m okay.¡± ¡°Why are you laughing ? You scared me you know?¡± ¡°hahah sorry¡­ I couldn¡¯t help it¡± ¡°Is it a yes or a no?¡± I wonder what¡¯s her answer huh? I getting nervous. ¡°Yes¡± She smiled and laugh ¡­ Those words blew all my regrets , the words I¡¯ve been wanting to hear all this time¡­ I finally got a closure. ¡°Rose .. let¡¯s head back.¡± ¡°O-Okay¡± As soon as we head back to our classroom it was lunch break ¡­ I opened door and everyone was surprised to see the two of us together. They misunderstood us , they asked and asked for pointless questions. We weren¡¯t like that at all. So I explained everything . She didn¡¯t seem to be bothered. Until the classroom finally went quiet ¡­ Someone asked me what I see in you , I looked down and said nothing because I don¡¯t want them to fall in love with you too. These feelings of mine ¡­ will it ever reach your heart. Or will it give up halfway. I still don¡¯t know yet but it will be in a matter of time ¡­ Today I made a friend, a friend who always listens to my story. But whenever I¡¯m with her ¡­ I have this nostalgic feeling that lingers inside of me. I wonder what it could be¡­ Today¡¯s Sunday, I¡¯m so bored ¡­. Since it¡¯s a Sunday I might go to a Caf¨¦. As I walk around I found a stray cat , I was supposed to go to a caf¨¦ but I killed time playing with the cat. The river is nice. Kids playing , making memories of their childhood. I was like that back then. Always covered with dirt. Hahahah its good to reminisce sometimes huh? Ah I¡¯m falling asleep ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Yawn~~~.¡± Oh I fell asleep. Its already 5pm ¡­ In the end I never went to the caf¨¦. Well I had some fun playing with the cat. I walk around to kill some time and I saw something familiar. ¡°Woah? Its still here!!¡± To be honest I was so surprised ¡­ 6 years huh? She might not remember it but I definitely won¡¯t forget these writing. ¡°When we grow up let¡¯s meet at the park where we used to play.¡± The problem is that I forgot what she looks like. And that might be a problem. But just maybe if we meet , and become lovers what would happen. But right now .. I¡¯m in love with Rose. I wonder where Michael is right now? I can¡¯t help but always think about him ¡­ Because of that misunderstanding I-I ¡­why does my heart beats so fast .. that¡¯s , that¡¯s so unfair¡­ guuuuuhhh!!! He didn¡¯t even remember .. what we promised. Ah! this picture.. I remember this , this is the last picture of me and Michael. After that he moved to a place where I don¡¯t know ¡­ He didn¡¯t tell me nor he never planned to. Stupid Michael ¡­ always thinking for others and not for yourself. If only¡­ ¡°I¡¯m home.¡± No ones here¡­ maybe they¡¯re going out. Guess I¡¯ll have to turn in early today. Please make the time faster ¡­ so that morning will come. I wanna see her. Hurry up and please be morning ¡­ I wanna see him at school. And so morning came ¡­ The sun shone as bright as ever. I wanna go to school .. I wanna see her. I ran all the way to my school , I was never this excited before ¡­ Ever since I entered this school my life has changed. She ¡­ changed me, her smile is always there for me. I opened the door in my classroom. ¡°Morning¡± I greeted everyone with a big smile. Everyone seems surprised. Well ¡­ no matter. As I walked towards my chair , I sat and said good morning. Which is normal ¡­ yeah normal. ¡°G-Good morning , Rose¡± ¡°Good morning!¡± ¡°SHE SAIIIID GGOOOD MORRNING!!!¡± Everyone in the classroom was surprised. Ah! She¡¯s like an angel sent by God to love all humans. That smile of hers .. It¡¯s enough to fill my day with blissful events. I ----I ¡­. *PIC* ¡°Hey look Michael is so red..¡± ¡°Whoa its true ¡­ hahaha is this love?¡± ¡°Weeeeeeww!!¡± ¡°Stop it , its not funny¡­¡± ¡°The teacher is here! Everyone go back to your seats.¡± First period started ¡­ I can¡¯t focus at all , That smile is embedded into my mind ¡­ ¡°Pssst!¡± Huh? Who¡¯s calling me? ¡°Over here.¡± ¡°Oh what¡¯s the matter Rose?¡± ¡°Rooftop at lunch break. Okay?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Waaah!! She invited me ¡­ I¡¯m so happy , at times like this I need to man up and strike up a conversation.. but what should I talk about. Girly things? No, no, no that¡¯s too impossible. ¡°A¡ªAhem!!¡± EEEeeek!!! The teacher caught us ¡­ ¡°Hahahaha those two never get tired.¡± ¡°Hey! Stop it , do you think that¡¯s a funny joke ¡­ and besides we are just friends.¡± ¡°Friends? I wonder about that?¡± ¡°Okay that¡¯s enough , let¡¯s get back to class.¡± Just friends huh? I hate to admit it but it hurts.. Am I the only one who thinks of it that way. Well I could never know what he¡¯s thinking. Maybe I am bother¡­ *sigh* Lunch break is finally here!! *HUMMING* Finally a time where we are alone. I hope this will be a good memory for us. *DOOR OPENS* Oh? There she is ¡­ ¡°Rose!!¡± ¡°Oh Michael , come sit beside me.¡± ¡°Okay¡± ¡°What are you having for lunch?¡± ¡°Meat.¡± ¡°Its all meat inside , here have some vegetables I have lots.¡± ¡°Rose, are you a vegetarian?¡± ¡°No why?¡± ¡°Here!! Have some of my meat. Its delicious¡± *Crunch* ¡°It is delicious!! Who cooked this?¡± ¡°Me!!¡± ¡°That amazing!¡± ¡°Your vegetables are delicious too, they¡¯re so fresh.¡± ¡°Hehehe thanks..¡± We ate our lunch, I was so satisfied to what¡¯s happened today. I want to be with her like this , even if it is just for a moment. I¡ªI want to be at her side. I want to be the first person to approach he. ¡°I wish we could be like this all the time¡± ¡­ *GASP!!* I can¡¯t hold it in, I need to tell him right now ¡­ It hurts so much, I can¡¯t pretend anymore. Why does this person ¡­ its so unfair¡­ CHAPTER 3 End~-~ ¡°R¡ªRose why are you crying?¡± Why is she crying? Did I say something bad¡­ ¡°H¡ªHey are you okay?¡± ¡°Y¡ªYeah .. ¡° sob* I can¡¯t let him see me like this, Its so unfair .. why am I the only one who remembers. This is just too unfair. ¡°Michael, I have to tell you something¡­¡± ¡°What is it?¡± This is for the best ¡­ Yes this is the decision I¡¯ve made. Just stay away from me. ¡°Te¡ª¡° ¡°PLEASE!!¡± ¡°Just please!! You have nothing to do with me anymore.¡± ¡°H¡ªHuh!?¡± What the hell? What did I do wrong¡­ why is she saying things like this. ¡°But why¡­ tell me why!!!¡± ¡°J¡ªJust leave me alone.¡± *DOOR SLAMS* Ah she left ¡­ What the hell did I do wrong. This is ¡­ lame. That was so stupid of me to think that I have a chance. Hahaha this sucks ¡­ *Crying* Michael¡­ I¡¯m sorry this is for the best. *STOMP* Damn it!! Damn it !! Damn it!! Damn it !! Damn it!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK ¡­ Why .. why did it turn out this way. *sob* Why am I at fault! It hurts so bad. ¡°Heh heh heh heh ¡­ Hahahahahahaha!¡± Why am I laughing? Something¡¯s wrong with me. Ahh . If I knew this is how it turned to be in the beginning I would¡¯ve have ignored her. I¡¯ll just skip class. There¡¯s no point in coming to school anymore. She was the main reason I¡¯ll go to this stupid school. I¡¯ll just wait for the time to pass. *CLASSROOM* ¡°Michael never came back huh? Where the hell is he, he was supposed to be handing the printouts today.¡± ¡°Rose do you know where he is?¡± ¡°HUH, Oh I d¡ªdon¡¯t know..¡± *DOOR OPENS* ¡°Sorry , I forgot the printouts ¡­¡± ¡°Hey dude what¡¯s wrong with your eyes? They¡¯re red..¡± ¡°Oh really? Maybe I stayed too long in the sun.¡± Actually I was crying a lot, is what I want to say but I can¡¯t. Oh I have to get my bag. I¡¯ll leave and never comeback .. to this place filled with painful memories. I can¡¯t bring myself to look a her in the eyes. I was rejected ¡­ She knew that I have feelings for her. She closed her heart as soon as she noticed it. Tch¡­ As I walked towards my seat , I could sense the awkwardness getting stronger, stronger . I want to take a peek, just a few a seconds. But there is this wall that¡¯s blocking the way. Oh that¡¯s right ¡­. I was rejected. I¡¯ll give her my one last message ¡­ as a friend. I¡¯ll wait for her at the school gate. *RING* ¡°Class dismissed!!¡± Ah! There she is.. ¡°Rose!!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Goodbye!!¡± *waving* He said goodbye to me , even though I did those cruel things to him. He was crying a lot , I can see it in his eyes. Those were not just tears. Those were the tears of depression. What have I done¡­ what have I-I¡ªI *sob* W-Wait I¡ªI have to say sorry to y¡ª. Ahh he left already. ¡°Goodbye¡± huh? I apologize tomorrow morning. I was planning to but Michael never came back to school. Its my fault to begin with. Or maybe he¡¯s in the rooftop .. skipping class is so like him. *DOOR OPENS* AH there he i¡ªs. *sob* what have I done¡­ This feelings of guilt kept building up for days , knowing when will you forgive me. I hope we can say each other soon. So that I can apologize to everything that I did to you. Where¡­ just where are you M-Michael. Its been 2 weeks since that incident happened. He never plans to comeback to school. Lunch breaks are so quiet without you here. Yes this is all my fault. *AFTER SCHOOL* In the end he never showed up. ¡°GOODBYE¡± was it? Those were his last words in this very school. Maybe he plans to move out here in this city. *GASP!!* *running* He is planning to ¡­ *sob* I have to find him , and apologize. If I don¡¯t things will be like the last time. He will leave again , if he can¡¯t bear the pain he will leave. Where is he!! ¨C huff.. where is he .. *Park* Hah its been 2 weeks since I stopped coming from school. And I ended up going to this park to reminisce ¡­ this sucks , I can¡¯t move on , this feelings of mine is still active. I like her ¡­ but she doesn¡¯t like me. So this is what they call one-sided love. I didn¡¯t expect this to happen¡­ The park! he must be in the park ¡­ I¡¯m almost there huff¡ª huff. I better go home ¡­ its getting late. Huff.. huff .. huff I made it .. he¡¯s really here. *walks towards him* ¡°Huh?¡± I got to say it¡­ properly this time. ¡°Michael!¡± ¡°R¡ªRose!!¡± ¡°I have something to tell you, please hear me out ¡­¡± ¡°O-Okay.¡± She ran all the way here? What is she thinking ¡­ woah look at that sweat coming from her neck. And those eyes , did she cry. And on top of that she¡¯s so red. ¡°M¡ªMichael S-s..¡± ¡°S?¡± ¡°I¡ªI am sorry for what happened , I didn¡¯t know that you were hurt to the extent that you stopped coming from school. I am sorry for everything up until now ..¡± ¡°R¡ªRose.¡° ¡°Why ¡­*sob* why are you leaving me again? It¡¯s the same as when we where little , you left without saying a word.. are you going to leave me again. I¡¯m sorry , I know I¡¯m being selfish but please ¡­ forgive me..¡± ¡°L¡ªLeave no I couldn¡¯t possibly !!... Rose you were that girl from before? I am so blind, I pretended to not notice ¡­ I was so stupid , To think that I would hurt you. I am sorry.¡± ¡°Yeah stupid , you forgot me.¡± ¡°R¡ªRose.¡± ¡°I¡ª I love you.. Thank you for everything you¡¯ve done for me. Thank you for being with me all the time. Even though you¡¯re not comfortable talking to girls. Thank you for your words they always make my day. That¡¯s why I¡¯m gonna say this again ¡­ I Love You , I love you I really, really ,really Love you. Ever since we were kids. So please .. don¡¯t leave.¡± The words I¡¯ve been wanting to hear since the first day of school. The words that could erase my doubts. I finally heard it. I am so happy .. so happy I can¡¯t stop crying. Those words saved me , no she saved me ¡­ again. ¡°H¡ªHey Michael did you hear?¡± ¡°Uh yeah .. I can¡¯t believe it , I thought this a one-sided love. Ahaha I¡¯m so happy I could die.¡± ¡°H-Hey stop saying such things.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°S¡ªso do you .. love me?¡± ¡°Do you need to ask?¡± *Smooch* ¡°Hmmm!!¡± *surprised* ¡°Sorry for kis¡ª.¡± ¡°Shhh .. again¡± ¡°O¡ªOkay¡± In the dimming sunset we told each other our feelings. The feelings that we were afraid to tell. Each time we kissed I could smell her perfume. We kissed and kissed . Yes we became lovers. *Birds chirping* H¡ªhuh .. its already morning. Ah I became a girlfriend to someone.. Teehee. But how to be a good girlfriend , I wanna be a good girlfriend that supports her boyfriend to the fullest. Ahh I should just buy references. I head to the library after school. I am so excited to see him. *SCHOOL* ¡°Morning everyone!!¡± ¡°Ohhh Michael its been a while..¡± ¡°Where have you been?¡± ¡°Just sorting things out haha.¡± He¡¯s here .. My heart is beating so fast. Fuwaah I¡¯m so nervous. I need to greet him. He¡¯s here .. oh first I need to greet her. ¡°Mo¡ªrning!!¡± ¡°Morning!¡± Its so awkward ¡­ I can¡¯t look at him. Maybe just a peek wouldn¡¯t hurt.

But now your enjoying right? ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± In a hot Sunday we spent our time getting to know each other. The exchange of feelings. The softness of your lips. The warmth of your chest. And your beautiful smile ¡­ Our first memorable date .. has begun. ¡°Michael!! Over here!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± So this is the famous fountain of Sunny square. I didn¡¯t imagine it would be this big. And the park is surrounding it. Who the hell would¡¯ve thought about this kind of things. Its just insane. ¡°The show is starting.¡±*smile* I¡¯m looking forward to it ¡­ That was nice, the water was like dancing. As expected of technology. I bet they have over a hundred tubes connected to make it happen ¡­ ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Yeah , I¡¯m okay ¡­ Oh but more importantly come with me.¡± ¡°Y¡ªYeah.¡± ¡°Its almost time ¡­ I¡¯m so excited.¡±*smile* Were here!! Welcome to Lupan Land!! ¡°Woooaah , this is amazing !! there are so many rides.¡± ¡°This is the famous spot in Sunny square. I just remember something important you see, when we were kids you¡¯d always say that I want to go to an amusement park.¡± ¡°So you remembered it ¡­ is this your surprise?¡± ¡°Yeah ¡­ so tonight ¡­ LETS GO WILD!!¡± ¡°Okay¡±*smile* I was hesitant at first but its all for her so might as well be a man and take it all. First we rode the rollercoaster , I almost fainted. ¡°Hey are you okay? You look pale.¡± ¡°No I¡¯m okay , s¡ªso lets head for the haunted house.¡± Haunted house is not really that scary but being held like this you can feel the warmth of her boobs. So this might be the best ride here. ¡°Aww already? I want to go there again to conquer my fears.¡±*not yet satisfied* ¡°You just wanted my boobs do you?¡± ¡°Ehh , So I¡¯ve been caught.. eheheh¡± ¡°Honestly¡­¡± Next is another .. rollercoaster but this one we were not in a cart. We were hanging upside-down. I can feel death staring at me. ¡°Are you really okay? Should we stop this you look pale.¡± ¡°No its okay , One bite of ice cream then I can go for another round.¡± ¡°This time I¡¯ll ¡­ pick the Ferris wheel.¡± Finally a calm ride, this is a really nice ride. It takes it time to spin. With this I can rest a little¡­ ¡°Hey ¡­¡± ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Thank you for bringing me here. I really enjoyed it even though you¡¯re bad at this kind of things. You don¡¯t have to act tough. C¡ªCome here and sit beside me. I wanna feel the heat of your body.¡± Oh what¡¯s this I¡¯m feeling. I am really turned on right now. For now I just have to do it. *Sits down* ¡°I want to be like this with you forever.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± In this cold night. We are at a Ferris wheel , sitting besides each other . As your head makes your way to my shoulder I can smell the shampoo you have been using. That sweet aroma suits you. And so the our first date was a moment we will never forget. CHAPTER 1 End -Ureshi Feelings of doubts A month has passed since we started dating. Everyday was a bliss for me and for her. This is the first time I loved a girl whole heartedly. Well ¡­ that¡¯s because she¡¯s my first girlfriend. So I got to make the most of this experience. *SCHOOL BELL* ¡°Morning!!¡± ¡°Morning¡± Huh? Michael¡¯s not here yet.*sigh* ¡°Damn I totally forgot that today was going to be the selection for the school trip.¡± I gotta hurry .. or I won¡¯t make it in time for school. Tch!*running* *DOOR SLAMS* Huff!! Huff!! Damn it. Hurry ,hurry ¡­ Oh? That old woman needs help. Tsk but I¡¯m gonna be late for school. What should I do?... It¡¯s obvious isn¡¯t it ¡­ ¡°Hey! I¡¯ll help you carry that bag.¡± ¡°Oh dear thank you , but shouldn¡¯t you be at school?¡± ¡° I was on my way but .. I couldn¡¯t leave a beautiful woman as you carrying these heavy bags.¡± ¡°Oh~ thank you ¡­ No one ever said that to me except for my late husband.¡± ¡°Hehehe~¡± Is he not coming to school. Where is he exactly ¡­ what is he thinking skipping class when we are about to pick the assigned numbers for the school trip. ¡°Alright class! Let¡¯s begin the picking of numbers.¡± YES! *students yelled loudly* 9:30 hahaha I¡¯m so late. Good thing our school does not close the gates and let late students pass through. Hurray for this school and hurray to me for being late. *DOOR OPENS* ¡°I made it¡± As I opened the door everyone was surprised. Everything went to silent ¡­ Looking directly at me. I need to apologize for being late. ¡°Hey Michael .. where have you been? Its already 9:50.¡± * teacher mumbles* ¡°I am so sorry Teacher!! , When I was on my way to school and I saw this old woman carrying heavy bags .. I couldn¡¯t ignore her so I helped.¡± *STUDENT TALKING* Woah this guy is pretty good. Yeah , yeah I totally change my perspective about this guy. I think I¡¯m gonna fall in love with him. Ehh? Just helping an old woman? Its hard to find a guy like that in this kinda generation. Ehh I can definitely hear you , are really whispering .. if so then say it with a low voice.. I can hear you , you know. I¡ªIt makes my heart go wobbly so stop it. And besides I already have a girl---. Ehh Why is she pouting? Is she jealous ¡­ ¡°Tsk can¡¯t they shut up that¡¯s my boyfriend they¡¯re talking about.¡± *Rose mumbles* *STUDENTS TALKING* Oh but he is already taken. Yeah I know ¡­ but It doesn¡¯t mean that I can¡¯t attack right¡­ Its his choice to pick who is the best girl. Yeah but isn¡¯t it bad. Not really¡­ ¡°Take your seat now, your reason is accepted.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± I sat on my usual chair beside the window. As I sat I can see a torn paper under my table. I wonder what¡¯s written here. I opened it and I am surprised to see this invitation. ¡°Wanna go to karaoke? There are 4 boys and 5 girls. So if you wanna come then just tell me.¡± Ahh there¡¯s a girl waving at me¡­ What was her name again.. Uhh Jean? Aah Jean. Should I come? Or not? Maybe going is a bad idea. But I never thought she will be this irritated ¡­ *looks to her* *Rose turns away* ¡°Hmph.¡± ¡°Hehehe I guess that sums it up.¡± Honestly¡­ *sigh* *LUNCHBREAK* ¡°Alright class dismiss!! ¡­ Oh I almost forgot , Michael ! come to the faculty office after school. You still don¡¯t have a number for the school trip do you? Don¡¯t forget okay?¡± ¡°Yes, Teacher.¡± Oh that¡¯s right, I should go to the faculty after school. But before that Jean was it? Sorry but I have to turn you down. Things are pretty dire for me. ¡°Uh hey Jean!!¡± *Michael shouts* Really? Of all the girls he can approach , he talked to that bitch¡­ tsk this is getting me mad. *Rose mumbles* ¡°Oh really .. then that¡¯s too bad. Next time okay? You must come.¡± ¡°O¡ªokay.¡± Now that¡¯s solved time to eat lunch with Ro¡ªse. Wait where is she? I thought she was there in her seat. Where the hell did she go? ¡­ maybe she went first. ¡°I have to go to the rooftop.¡± ¡°Rooftop? Ehh~.¡± *Jean laughs* *DOOR OPENS* ¡°Haaah~ the air is so nice ¡­¡± I decided to leave the classroom because I can¡¯t breath and my chest hurts. This is normal for a girlfriend. And he didn¡¯t even made contact with me this morning and yet he made contact with the other girls. So irritated. *CRANK* ¡°Rose are you here?¡± There he i¡ªs. *Rose smiles* ¡°Got you!¡± *hugs* JEAN!! ¡°Woah ¡­ what are y¡ªyou doing? Why are you hugging me?¡± ¡°Huh? This? Ahh its just a greeting. And what¡¯s with the reaction¡­ didn¡¯t your girlfriend hugged you?¡± ¡°Hu¡ªHuh of course she does.¡± ¡°Ehhh. And where is she?¡± ¡°Yeah I¡¯ve been looking for her but I can¡¯t seem to find her.¡± I¡¯m right here Michael ¡­ why can¡¯t you see m-e? ¡°Ehhh?¡± *jean saw rose* She saw me¡­and why am I hiding in this corner ¡­ I can¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Michael let¡¯s eat lunch.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Since your girlfriend is not her. Then why not eat lunch with me¡­ You will be wasting time if you don¡¯t have a clue where she is.¡± *jean said it with a loud voice* ¡°True¡­ okay I¡¯ll eat lunch with you.¡± Is this real? Michael is eating lunch with another girl in our favorite spot. I know that they are not in that relationship but it hurts ¡­ it hurts so bad .. I can¡¯t breath. ¡°So ¡­ how will you react now R¡ªose? Oh my where is she? Did she leave.¡± *DOOR CLOSES* ¡°Maybe what I did to her was way out of the line.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so hot ¡­ what is this? Do I have a fever¡­ No I can¡¯t go o¡ªn ¡­¡± *COLLAPSE* Later that time¡­ ¡°Where are you Rose ¡­ I can¡¯t find you anywhere .. And lunch break is almost over.¡± She really is angry. I have to apologize even though I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Its just that ¡­ losing the argument is easier than losing her. So I have to find her fast before lunch break is over. *STUDENT TALKING* Hey did you know about that red haired girl who collapsed at the 2nd year hallway. Yeah , I heard that she collapsed due to fever. A fever .. she is pushing herself .. why not the school let her go home. What is this¡­ what is this!! How did it come to this ..*runs* ¡°Hey you where is that girl now?¡± *grab* ¡°O¡ªouch she is in the infirmary¡± I enjoyed my time leisurely while Rose had a fever. And I didn¡¯t even notice it. I am so stupid, so stupid I can¡¯t forgive myself. Tsk ¡­ *DOOR OPENS* ¡°Rose are you okay!?¡± She¡¯s sleeping ¡­ *Touches the forehead.* Ow hot¡­ Will she be alright .. I gotta stay with her till school is done. That way I can be with her. *BELL RINGS* ¡°Rose and Michael are not here? Oya? I wonder what their up to.¡± ¡°suspicious.¡± Hm¡­ ¡°Are you awake¡­ Does your head hurts? Here have some water.¡± ¡°Thanks Michael.¡±*sips* ¡°Your welcome.¡± This is awkward ¡­ ¡°By the way .. I am sorry I had lunch without you ¡­ I couldn¡¯t find you at the rooftop and jean invited me so I had to accept it since I already turned her down with the karaoke invitation. So I felt sorry for her.¡± ¡°You talk like that but deep inside your enjoying it. Having lunch at another girl while your girlfriend hides.¡± ¡°Y¡ªyou were there?¡± ¡°Yeah I was there and I witnessed the whole thing .. That girl speaks so loudly just so I can hear the voice of you enjoying your time together.¡± *yells* ¡°Are you angry?¡± ¡°Yeah I am angry! And frustrated. To think you would show your smile to that cat.¡± *sniff* Ah now she acts like a baby. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Rose , the only who can make me smile is you ¡­ and that¡¯s a fact. It was a friendly smile I was showing to Jean. So don¡¯t worry okay?¡± ¡°U¡ªum ¡­ yeah¡±*Sniff* ¡°Hey Michael ¡­ um if its okay with you¡­ can we do that.¡± ¡°Ehh .. do what exactly?¡± ¡°T¡ªthat you know¡­¡± ¡°Hm? That thing?Hm?¡± ¡°Yeah stop teasing me idiot.¡± ¡°Okay, okay ¡­¡± *SMOOCH* ¡°Ahh that felt better.¡± Is it just me or kissing Rose adds some pleasure. When I kiss her it feels like our tongue¡¯s touch. FRENCH!??? No, no must be my imagination. ¡°Okay Rose go back to sleep ¡­ I¡¯ll be here with you until school is over.¡± ¡°Aww can it be forever.¡± *POWW* ¡°Hahaha idiot.¡±If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. He smiled to me.. I guess I can rest easy now. To think that our first fight will be this small misunderstanding. But to think that Rose would have a fever. Maybe because of that she was not in the mood this morning. Hm¡­ Well ¡­ *stood up and looks through the window* As the sun sets I can see the red rays passing through everything that is transparent. Its like beam that purifies the darkness that holds in the shadows. Yes ¡­ it¡¯s the same thing that I saw in my dreams. And the same ¡­ for her hair. While the red rays pass through the window ¡­ encompassing Rose¡¯s hair .. all I can see is her glimmering fiery hair. ¡°Rose .. time to wake ¡­ Hey!¡± ¡°Hm? Am I ¡­ still in school.. ouch¡± ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°Yes ¡­ its just my head hurts.¡± ¡°Can you walk ¡­ its almost time to close the school.¡± ¡°Y¡ªYeah..¡± It looks like she still can¡¯t walk. And I have to go the Faculty office to get my number. Will she be okay if I leave her here a bit. ¡°I gotta go to the Faculty to get my number¡­ are you okay if I leave you here for a bit?¡± ¡°Its okay.¡± *DOOR OPENS* ¡°Then ¡­ I¡¯ll see you later.¡± ¡°Hm.¡±*nods* At the faculty office. *DOOR OPENS* ¡°Teacher ¡­ I came to pick a number.¡± ¡°Oh Michael just in time¡­ I need you to bring Rose home. It seems that I can¡¯t contact her parents¡­ Oh by the looks of it , she is living alone that¡¯s why.¡± ¡°She lives alone ¡­ wait , isn¡¯t that too dangerous. She is sick and she can¡¯t even stand up.¡± ¡°Hehehe that¡¯s why I¡¯m gonna ask you to take care of her¡­ Since you¡¯re his boyfriend. So ¡­ you mustn¡¯t take your advantage on a girl who¡¯s sick .. if you know what I mean.¡± ¡°Ha¡ªha of course not ¡­ Why would I?¡±*startled* ¡°Really now¡­¡± ¡°Really, really ¡­ I¡¯m gonna leave now. Thank you for your time. Teacher¡±*pout* ¡°Michael ¡­ You better take care of her.¡± ¡° Yep ¡­ leave it to me.¡± Looks like I have to stay at Rose¡¯s apartment. I don¡¯t have a problem gaining the permission of my parents. But to Rose ¡­ isn¡¯t it kinda too forward for that kind of thing. I m¡ªmean your sleeping with your boyfriend on the same house¡­ But for now, let¡¯s gain that permission ¡­ Oh right I forgot what my number is hm ¡­ 43. So basically our group consists of 41,42,43,44 and 45. 2 girls and 3 boys. I wonder what kind of people who are in my group. Maybe I will get to know them ¡­Since the school trip will be held 4 days. I hope I can be in the same group as Rose. *DOOR OPENS* ¡°Hey .. I¡¯m back.¡±*smile* ¡°Took you long enough ¡­¡± ¡°AAAHHH~¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Your obviously hiding something from me.¡±*eyebrows furrowed* ¡°T¡ªthe thing is ¡­ that Teacher asked me to take you to your apartment and spend the night there to take care of you ¡­ which is kinda dangerous because you never know what might happen.¡±*sweat* I said it ¡­ Now I have to wait for her reply. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about my safety ¡­ my apartment has security guards in the reception area.¡± ¡°Oh ¡­ hahaha t¡ªthen that¡¯s okay¡± How disappointing ¡­ I thought I could spend the night and take care of her, I guess I let my imagination run wild just a second ago. ¡°B¡ªbut if you really want to spend the night at my apartment so b¡ªbadly ¡­ then I have no choice. Do I?¡±*mumbling* ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I¡ªI said you can stay at my apartment.¡±*shout* ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to take your offer.¡±*pfft* ¡°H¡ªhey what¡¯s so funn--.¡±*ouch!* ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Yeah I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Alright ¡­ let¡¯s go to your apartment then¡­¡± ¡°O¡ªOkay.¡± To me ¡­ everything that has happened so far was a blessing. But to be honest ¡­ I am worried about what¡¯s going to happen next. There¡¯s a saying that tells you ¡­ ¡°Every fortune gives grave misfortune.¡± And I totally believe those kinda things. But if I were to encounter it¡­ I should brace my heart. Later on¡­ Woah what is this apartment¡­ its so big. ¡°Rose ¡­ how many stories?¡± ¡°36 I think ¡­¡± ¡°Damn that¡¯s many ¡­ to think that you would live in this apartment and plus the security guards are tough looking. Hehehe looks like I won¡¯t be needed anyways.¡±*mumbling* ¡°What are you staring at? Let¡¯s go inside ¡­ its too cold here.¡± ¡°O¡ªokay!¡± *DOOR OPENS* ¡°What a spacious room you got.¡±*sparkle* ¡°Are you really that surprised?¡± ¡°Y¡ªyeah ¡­ oh but before that .. make sure to change your clothes ..

So¡ªso just change o-okay.¡± ¡°Al~right.¡± Damn it ¡­ why would she do something like that. No, no snap out of it. I must prepare dinner. But what do sick people eat ¡­ something easy to eat ¡­ hmmm *ping!* Curry .. hmm, hmm then curry it is. *boiling* ¡°I¡¯m done changing ¡­ *sniff* woah that smells so good.

I gotta stop this. ¡°Haaaah~ .. Haaaah~ Mi¡ªMichael.¡± ¡°R¡ªrose ¡­ let¡¯s stop I might get a boner.¡± *stands and walks away* Tsk ¡­ why did I take advantage of her. If we didn¡¯t what would¡¯ve happened. I might not been able to hold back. Good thing the words that Teacher said came into my mind. *DOOR OPENS* ¡°M¡ªMichael ¡­ I¡¯m so sorry earlier. I didn¡¯t have that plan in mind but I just can¡¯t stop myself from doing that. The way you kiss, it just felt good and I ¨C.¡± ¡°Idiot it was good for me too ¡­ so go back to sleep , we still have school tomorrow.¡± ¡°O¡ªokay¡± *DOOR CLOSES* I wonder ¡­ what would¡¯ve happened if I hadn¡¯t stopped. *looks at his hand* ¡°Whheew its cold ¡­ and its pretty late.

I thought you were asleep. ¡°Can you prepare the plates ¡­ breakfast is almost finished.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± So Rose can cook too. Judging by her appearance she seems like the girl who can do anything. But to be honest *sigh* I never know that my girlfriend was the ideal girl .. I mean like the whole package. ¡°H¡ªhey why are you staring at me?¡± She¡¯s sweet , she is fit and good looking. And her boobs are too boot. Look at those normal oranges sitting around there. Her eyes are big. Her lips ¡­ *was reminded on what happened last night* bluuueerghh!! ¡­ what was I thinking¡­ ¡°Are you really that turned on to see your girlfriend wearing an apron?¡±*blush* ¡°No, no ..

But having one ¡­ isn¡¯t kinda bad. Spending your time to get to know each other. Having each one of their preferences. Holding hands together. Yeah not bad ¡­ not bad at all. Lunch break. ¡°Rose ¡­ let¡¯s head up¡± ¡°Okay.¡± *DOOR OPENS* The wind bursts, its like trying to get inside the school. The leaves were blown away each and each one those trees. The leaves just can¡¯t stop falling. ¡°Wow the wind sure feels great here.¡±*Rose smiles* ¡°Yeah ¡­ this is the perfect spot for us.¡± ¡°Hehehe.¡± ¡°Hehem.¡± ¡°You brought lunch right?¡± ¡°Uh yeah ¡­ *opens it*.¡± ¡°Woooah what is this Rose this looks delicious.¡±*sparkle* ¡°Heheh here have a bite say ¡°Ah¡±¡± ¡°Ahh ¡­*munch* wow this is good. Oh my God ¡­ please be with me forever so that I can taste your food always.¡± ¡°Hahaha okay , okay ¡­ here have another one.¡±*smile* ¡°Ahh *munch*.¡± At the back of the door ¡°President .. see? They¡¯re too sweet and it makes me jealous. I wish I have that kind of relationship.¡± ¡°Hm you¡¯re right Jean. They¡¯re too dazzling. They are like the ideal couple. Everyone should follow this example.¡±*mumbles* ¡°See.. see !!¡± ¡°Hahahaha idiot anyone can do that.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yeah .. so lets go back, I feel bad about eavesdropping them in the middle of their leisure time.¡± ¡°O¡ªokay.¡±*pouts* Ahhh I wish I have something like that in my life. ¡°Ah Rose .. I almost forgot. What number are you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about the school trip? Hm.. 45¡± ¡°45!!! Were in the same group. Coincidence? Or maybe fate has brought us together.¡± ¡°Maybe fate ¡­ because of that I¡¯m able to spend my time with you.¡±*leans on the shoulder* ¡°Yeah ¡­ maybe you¡¯re right. Fate ¡­ can be good sometimes.¡±*sigh* ¡°Sometimes?¡± ¡°Shhh~¡± The warmth of your head in my shoulder is relaxing. It feels like I¡¯m being held dear ¡­ as the wind blew through us. Once I never felt the cold. Because you were there , beside me holding me tight. You always have been like that. Ever since that day we became lovers. You gave me your all. So in return I¡¯m giving my all for you. ¡°Rose ¡­this Sunday go to an amusement park?¡± ¡°I¡ªI want to go!!¡±*excited* ¡°Then its settled. Since Monday will be our school trip lets make this our memories in the first semester.¡±*smile* ¡°Hm!¡± And so I planned a date. I have to make her enjoy this moment. So that ¡­ I¡ªI can see her smile once again. ¡°Michael ¡­ why are you spacing out? Hey?¡±*leans* ¡°Oh ¡­ sorry I was just thinking.¡±*lost in thought* ¡°Let¡¯s go, lunch break is almost over.¡±*stands up* ¡°Okay.¡± I wonder what he¡¯s thinking. He always has that scary look in his face these past few days.¡± *SCHOOL BELL* I can¡¯t wait for this Sunday. Hehehe .. what kind of amusement park is he gonna take me. I can¡¯t help it but think happy thoughts. I¡¯m so excited. My heart is fluttering.*looks at Michael¡¯s back* His back is wide. Why are men¡¯s back so bony. Charm point maybe? And that sweat on his neck looks beautiful. Its like a purified water. Whoa its shining. *THUD!!* ¡°Ouch!¡± ¡°Rose are you okay ¡­ honestly you need to watch where you¡¯re going.¡±*giggle* ¡°I¡ª I¡¯m sorry .. Hahaha¡± Why is she looking at my neck. Does she want to see my neck that badly. Ah her eyes is shining. This makes me uncomfortable. Did he notice me.*blush* Oh my God she will think I am a weird person. But to be honest ¡­ I really love that back. That back protected me when I was bullied. But those days are gone ¡­ and the Michael right now is much better.*nods* ¡°Hey Rose ¡­ do you really want to see my neck that badly?¡±*blush* ¡°E¡ªehh.¡± He found out¡­ ¡°No, no its just that its so beautiful that I can¡¯t avert my gaze.¡± ¡°Really? ¡­ uhm thanks.¡±*smile* He really is much more handsome when he smiles. Those cold eyes plus his smile is to boot. My boyfriend is too dazzling. I¡¯m so lucky~. Right after that school is over¡­ We went to the park we used to play when we were kids. I noticed the seesaw that we used to play was replaced by a slide. I used to come to her aid all the time back on those days. But ¡­ can I do that now? Even though I don¡¯t have the courage¡­ is it okay? To stand by her side. That kept me thinking¡­ Am I worthy of being with her. ¡°Spacing out aga¡ª.¡±*startled* Ah¡­ getting more and more lame. My eyes gave up. My heart can¡¯t keep up with the fear of losing her. This is ¡­ so uncool.*sob* ¡°Why are you crying? Hey ¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know ¡­ its just that whenever I see you smile. It kept me thinking , am I worthy to receive it. Am I the one who you should be flashing those smiles.*breathes heavily*¡± *hugs Michael* ¡°Hey its okay ¡­ Even if the world is against it. I will always be by your side. And never forget that my smile is only yours to begin with. Since the day we met.¡± *sniff*¡±Thank you ¡­ Man I really showed you pathetic side. Ahh this is so uncool.¡± ¡°Hahah you really did. So its okay to cry a lot. Were in a relationship so things like this always happens. Its things like this makes the relationship between two people grow stronger.¡±*smile* ¡°Hahaha you¡¯re right ¡­*growl!* Ahh~ I¡¯m getting hungry .. let¡¯s stop by at McDonalds.¡± ¡°Okay, okay .. you really like that place huh?¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± By sharing our emotions I felt ¡­ I felt it in my heart. That our bond will be unbreakable , no matter how much lies ahead. I feel like we can overcome anything that comes on our path. This was the moment where we understand each other deeply. And also where I showed the lamest part of me. Well ¡­ sorry for being a worry-wart. *COME BACK AGAIN* ¡°Ahh that felt great ¡­ I¡¯m stuffed now.¡±*stretches* ¡°Michael , you¡¯re like an old man.¡± ¡°Huh ¡­ Hahaha~¡± ¡°Hahaha~¡± Today¡¯s Friday .. hmm I need to google the best amusement park in this city.*click!* *chakka chakka chakka* Hmm ¡­ Bonyani Amusement park. The most trending amusement park. And 1 whole day trial ticket!! ..Woah this amusement park is crazy. Okay let¡¯s choose that. Bonyani Amusement park. Its been open for 10 years without having a record of accidents. Now that¡¯s what I call a safe park. And there are lots of stalls ¡­. 12 at noon takoyaki stands offers free takoyaki if you¡¯ve been in this park for the first time .. so definitely can¡¯t miss that. Oh this Sunday is its 11th year anniversary, there will be FIREWORKS!! And it starts at 7 ¡­ Oh looks like I picked the right time to have a date. *lie¡¯s down* I can¡¯t wait , I¡¯m so excited. Michael¡­*sigh* He looks really hurt that time. He was holding it in all this time. That¡¯s why he had that scary look on his face. And as his girlfriend I ¡­ I didn¡¯t notice it. How dense can I be. But he seems better now. I definitely hugged him. Good thing he didn¡¯t notice that my boobs were pressing unto his face. This Sunday huh ¡­ I can¡¯t wait.*giggle* I wonder ¡­ where will he take me. By the looks of it , I think he will google it .. Yeah he will. 100 percent sure. *sneeze!* ¡°Is someone talking on my back? Or is it just getting colder.¡±*Michael pulls the blanket.* In the meantime ¡­(Jean¡¯s house) Hahaha I know that I don¡¯t have chance. But I wanna make the most of this experience, you know. If ¡­ If he ever gets hurt then I¡¯ll be with him. I¡¯ll comfort him so that there might be a chance that he will look to me.*giggle* Rose is soo~ lucky to find someone like him. Why of all people ¡­ I decided to like him. I woke up hearing the alarm of my clock. I noticed that it was already Saturday.*Michael gets up* 2 months ago since I entered this school. I felt alienated ¡­ knowing that I won¡¯t be needed in their circles kept me thinking. How should I approach them? But even though I put up a wall. You broke them quite easily if I must say. It was always you who kept reaching out for me. Even though I have forgotten about you. Since I met you in the ceremony I kept thinking.*Rose is tying her hair* Are you that boy in the park? To be honest I was really surprised when you introduced yourself. Then t our eyes met. I was embarrassed because I just noticed that you are that boy .. so I averted my gaze. But deep down I was happy ¡­ I was happy that we got to see each other again. When you approached me at the rooftop was like a blessing. Your words felt refreshing. Then there¡¯s one thing I noticed ¡­ this is not the Michael I knew before. Your eyes was colder. That gaze stabs like a knife. But when we talked ¡­ I felt secured. Even though you¡¯re not the Michael I once knew before. You¡¯re still you. So.. So.. I¡¯ll do anything .. to preserve that smile. *AT SCHOOL* I¡¯m too early ¡­ there¡¯s no one at the classroom yet. I guess I¡¯ll just kill time at the rooftop.*walks away* *DOOR OPENS* ¡°What I¡¯m too early ¡­ I haven¡¯t eaten breakfast. Tsk what should I do¡­¡± ¡°Ahh¡± ¡°Ohh¡± ¡°Michael!! You came early too? Hahaha that¡¯s nice now it won¡¯t be boring.¡±*pats Michael¡¯s shoulder* ¡°J¡ªJean fancy meeting you here.¡±*smirk* ¡°You don¡¯t have breakfast ¡­ here I¡¯ll share my snack since nobody¡¯s still around so might as well eat that fast.¡±*hands over the snack* ¡°Eh .. um thanks.¡±*blush* ¡°No problem ¡­ you better eat that fast or you¡¯re going to get caught.¡± He really is a good person. Rose is so lucky. ¡°This taste good? Where did you buy this sandwich?¡± ¡°Huh? I¡¯m the one who made it.¡± ¡°Really ¡­ this is delicious.¡± ¡°Thanks but ¡­ not as delicious as Rose.¡±*sigh* ¡°Ehh is she really that great.¡± ¡°Hm? Well ¡­ yeah¡±*blush* As we spent time talking together , the classroom became crowded all of the sudden. *DOOR OPENS* ¡°G¡ªGood morning.¡± ¡°Good morning.¡± ¡°Rose come here for a bit.¡±*waves* ¡°Hmm? What is it president?¡± ¡°About this¡­¡± *Looks through the window* Looks like today¡¯s gonna rain ¡­ *Rose looks at Michael dozing off* What is he looking at? *DOOR OPENS* ¡°Alright class! Sit down!¡± ¡°Yes teacher.¡± ¡°Alright so today is our homeroom and I have something to discuss with you all ¡­ The room assignments for our school trip. Go group yourselves according to your number. Let me tell you this ¡­ only five members are allowed in you group and must be in order .. if I found out the group that skipped number just to be with his/her friends.

I hope I won¡¯t hold you back.¡± Wow he¡¯s so proud that he included the ¡°problem student¡± in this introduction. ¡°I am Rose.¡± ¡°I am Michael.¡± We had our introductions. And we prepared for the school trip this Monday. Everyone was getting along just fine. We even exchanged our numbers. I think the school trip is gonna be fun. I can¡¯t wait¡­ *LUNCH BREAK* ¡°Its raining ¡­ at this rate we can¡¯t eat our lunch at the school¡¯s rooftop. Too bad.¡±*sigh* ¡°Its okay ¡­ lets go to the cafeteria then.

Hahaha¡± ¡°No I¡¯m not!¡± ¡°Jean your face is red ¡­ are you embarrassed?¡±*Taro said it with a poker face* ¡°If you keep that up I¡¯m seriously gonna cry*sniff* ¡­¡± HAHAHAHAHAHA Back then it was just the two of us. But now ¡­ We have Taro, Heiwa and Jean. We enjoyed our lunch. Everyone was laughing. We were having a blast that we forgot the track of time. It was almost time for us to go our classroom. I wish we can have lunch like this again. At the meantime ¡­ school was over. ¡°Rose wanna walk home together?¡± ¡°Sure ¡­¡± *Jean looks at Rose and Michael* Do I really have a chance?*sigh* ¡°Jean ¡­ hey?¡± ¡°Oh Heiwa what is it?¡± ¡°Wanna walk home together?¡± ¡°Sorry but I have a part- time job so.. see you later.¡±*runs* Do I really have that chance against Jean.

Well then , please take care of me.¡± ¡°I will.¡± *Michael leans forward at Rose¡¯s face.* *KISS* I kissed her¡­ Rose was so red. Looks like she was surprised. ¡°You just kissed me ¡­ I thought you don¡¯t lik¡ª.¡± ¡°Shhh ¡­ again.¡± CHAPTER 2 END Who Am I? As I get to know you better. The wall that has been blocking us since that day suddenly ¡­ suddenly became thinner and thinner. I wonder if this is the work of love? Or is not? ¡­ though I am not sure of it. I hope I can find the answer soon. So that I can remember that day¡­ the day when I felt the warm breeze just to be with you. *ALARM CLOCK RINGS* Mhmm ¡­ *wakes up* 7:30 huh? ¡°Michael breakfast is ready!¡± ¡°Coming Mom!!¡± Today¡¯s the day. I have to do my best as her boyfriend. But still ¡­ I can¡¯t believe it, I¡¯m dating a girl whom I have known 6 years ago.

Am I imagining things or could it be that my girlfriend is the cutest girl in the world? No no no no that can¡¯t be right ¡­ but what is this? She¡¯s hot. ¡°D¡ªDo you really ¡­ like to stare at me so much?¡± ¡°A¡ªA..hahaha sorry its just that I was thinking that you¡¯re so cute in that dress.¡± ¡°Hmph! ¡­ I¡ªI see¡­¡±*BLUSH* ¡°Well ¡­ shall we go?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± *ZOOOM!!* ¡°Woah!

This is so uncool. ¡°Really ¡­ you really are pathetic.¡± *GASP* ¡°Ouch!¡± ¡°But ¡­ that¡¯s what I like about you.¡± *BLUSH* Ah¡­ I think I¡¯m better now. ¡°Okay Rose, lets try the haunted house.¡± ¡°E¡ªEH?¡± ¡°I heard it pretty realistic.¡± Hm¡­ what¡¯s with that stiff expression on her face. Could it be? ¡°You scared?¡± *sniff* ¡°Y¡ªYeah¡± *POUTS* Oh my God!!! How could you do such a thing.

I see, that¡¯s it¡± ¡°So? Shall we go to the haunted house?¡± ¡°Ehhhh!!??¡± After that things proceeded pretty smoothly. We got to enjoy the things we wanted. And we bought a lot of stuff. ¡°Dear customers would you like to have these as souvenir? Its limited for couples only.¡± ¡°Ahh yes please!¡± ¡°Ooooh Michael what¡¯s that?¡± ¡°Here¡¯s yours.¡± ¡°Oh a pair? How cute.¡± *TEEHEE*The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. Hm.. its already 3pm the fireworks starts at 7pm. We still have 4 hours to go. What to do next? I¡¯m all out of ideas. The ferris wheel ride should be at 7pm? Any other else ¡­ hmmm.. ¡°Michael?¡± Hmmm¡­¡­ *PINCH* ¡°O-Owww¡­¡± ¡°Geez will you listen for a sec?¡± ¡°H-Hm?

Dolphins are so cute right, I wanna hug them.¡± ¡°But before that, lets buy something to eat. Wouldn¡¯t wanna go there on an empty stomach right?¡± ¡°Okay lets go.¡± Look at how happy she is. This place has all sorts of rides and it has great customer service. Good thing I picked this place. To be able to stand by her and watch her enjoy this moment is already a blessing for me. These feelings of mine will never change. As long as I¡¯m with her that is¡­ ¡°Hm?? What¡¯re you looking at?¡± ¡°O¡ªOh hahaha I was not.¡± ¡°You were!!¡± ¡°No I didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to lie, just tell me what you wa¡ª.¡± *KISS* ¡°T¡ªThat¡¯s what I want.¡± ¡°Hmmmphh¡­¡±*BLUSH* *leans over the shoulder* ¡°J¡ªJust this time okay?¡± ¡°U¡ªUh yeah..¡± Her hair smells so nice. ¡°OH! Were almost there¡± ¡°W¡ªWait!¡± ¡°Come on! Don¡¯t be a slowpoke!¡± By the looks of it, this amusement park is quite popular. We stayed here for awhile now and it¡¯s getting crowded. And the dolphin show was nice too. How do you even train dolphins to double flip. So unbelievable. Honestly it caught me off guard. ¡°Michael, can you get me that teddy bear?¡± ¡°Hm?? Oh I¡¯m really bad at shooting games but if it¡¯s for you..¡± ¡°Really!!?? Thank you so much.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡± ¡°Mister, can I have a go?¡± ¡°Sure, that¡¯ll be 3 silvers.¡± That teddy bear huh? It¡¯s big. I doubt the impact of the bullet can even push that bear.*sigh* But since she wants it ¡­ there¡¯s no helping it. *FLOP* ¡°Ahh you got it!!¡± ¡°Wow reall¡ª¡± ¡°It didn¡¯t even budge.¡±*sobbing* ¡°Sorry Rose¡­. I¡¯m such a disappointment.¡± ¡°Hm!? Hey don¡¯t say that, you tried didn¡¯t you? So its okay.¡± ¡°T¡ªthanks.¡± Well, I guess I failed. We still got 1 hour left. ¡°Rose, wanna find a place where we can sit?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± *RING* ¡°Not gonna answer that?¡± ¡°Ah! Okay wait a minute ¡­..¡± Hm ? she looks saddened. I wonder what that was. I hope she¡¯s okay. ¡°Hey!!¡± ¡°Oh!! Ros¡ª.¡± ¡°Hehehe are you waiting for Rose?¡± ¡°J¡ªjean what¡¯re you doing here?¡± ¡°Just passing by, and I saw you.¡± I sense trouble. I hope she won¡¯t do anything that makes Rose misunderstand things. Because it will be troublesome. ¡°So where¡¯s Rose?¡± ¡°Making a call¡­¡± ¡°Oooh so now I¡¯m alone with you, ehh?¡± ¡°W¡ªwhat¡¯re you planning?¡± *HUGS* ¡°Sleep with me tonight¡­¡± ¡°W¡ªwha ¡­ what the?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­. I see, I was making my call and hurried over here then I saw you two looking lovey-dovey. Quite nice.¡± ¡°R¡ªRose this is a misunderstanding.¡± ¡°I know, I won¡¯t get angry. Because you belong to me anyways. So beat it, Jean.¡± ¡°Oh feisty.¡± Is it just me or Rose looks so mature. I was pretty shock. *JEAN STOODS UP* ¡°Alright, I¡¯m gonna go now. Bye.¡± *Rose¡¯s sigh* ¡°Rose are you okay? You¡¯re kinda down.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s about earlier, I will apologize so please don¡¯t be sad.¡± ¡°I¡ªI¡¯m really fine, it¡¯s just that ¡­ you being with another woman. Makes me agitated.¡± ¡°Rose¡­.¡± ¡°Hm??¡± ¡°I really do love you.¡± *KISS* We kissed. By the time the firework started. My girlfriend is the sweetest girl in the world. She¡¯s cute, intelligent and most of all so caring. I hope we can continue our relationship longer. Or so I thought¡­ after our date she didn¡¯t come to school. I couldn¡¯t contact her, her phone is deactivated. Where could she be? ¡°Alright class sit down.¡± ¡°Yes teacher.¡± ¡°Today I have a very important announcement to make. From here onwards Rose Vines has transferred to another school which is from Daedalus City. I know it¡¯s too sudden but please say your goodbyes to her by messaging her.¡± Are you kidding me? She transferred ¡­ that this means we¡¯re done? Did she break up with me? Is that i¡ªt ¡­ *RING* My phone¡­ *GASP* ¡°Michael, sorry to break it to you but ¡­ let¡¯s break up.¡± What the!!?? Come on ¡­ ¡°Michael did you hear anything from this?¡± ¡°No I didn¡¯t.¡± Gahh it¡¯s no use. I don¡¯t have the strength to message her. Rose ¡­. What could be the reason, I tried my best but why did you let go. T¡ªthis is why girls¡­ are so unreasonable. Here I thought that my life would change if I were with you. *AFTER SCHOOL* ¡°Hey!! Michael are you okay?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°You look so pale.¡± ¡°Uh yeah ¡­ gotta go, I¡¯m still busy.¡± Why¡¯d he call me again? Do I know him? From the looks of it, he¡¯s kinda flashy. More like too bright. I¡¯m getting dizzy. Is it because of what happened earlier? I really am a disappointment. She must¡¯ve broken up with me because I¡¯m a coward. It¡¯s no use. I don¡¯t want to go to school anymore. *Meanwhile at Rose* ¡°Rose you made a good decision. And this is for your future.¡± ¡°Yes Mother.¡± Michael I¡¯m so sorry. ¡°Ahh this sucks, how long am going to be like this.¡± ¡°HEY KID LOOK OUT!¡± ¡° Huh?¡± ¡­.. *SIRENS* ¡°He¡¯s severely injured.

I miss you so much. MEANWHILE ¡°DOCTOR!! WHERE IS MY SON?¡± ¡°Madam, you cannot go in here. We need to perform the surgery at once if you want him to live.¡± ¡°SURGERY!!!
