Prologue
Zoe's POV:
You know what is the hardest part of the shy and quiet girl? People don't see you or know who you are. It's been that way for as long as I remember. I think it started with a boy named Kyo Takeshi, my first crush in the sixth grade. He was in my history and sat next to me. I tried talking to him several times, but I always coward away and ended up running off making seem as if I was in a hurry to get to my next class.
I started pep talking myself, practice every day in front of the mirror before going to school of the things I might say to him. It was no use, I found myself embarrassing myself in front of his friends. I guess that's the nickname Stuttering Zoe came from.
Then one things changes, sort of. During history, Kyo tapped my shoulder as he handed me a fold paper. It had the drawing of heart.
OMG is coming true, he likes me too my heart was beating rapidly. I smiled as I looked at his gorgeous face; I completely melt when I saw his turquoise eyes, messy dark brown hair and his perfect lips. Before I could say "I like you too" he spoke first.
"Can you pass that to Nagisa?" he whispers, my smile completely vanish. Of course he likes Nagisa, what was I thinking? A guy like that wouldn't even like me. I pass the paper to her. Luckily, she was sitting behind me, yeah that S-UC-K-E-D. I guess love doesn't exist at all.
There was another thing working against me, my dad.
He – well, left my mom and me when I was 5 years old. He decided to build a new family. He didn't care about me or my mom. I remember how painful it was to see him walking out through the door with suitcases.
After a few days passed and I got tired of crying over my father, I made a promise to myself that I will never cry again especially not for a guy. I had to be strong. My mother needed me more than ever. She became a mess when my father left. She misses work a lot because she was 'feeling well' and despite how good of lawyer she was the law firm decided to let her go.
That didn't help her cause either. She didn't care about anything anymore, not even the fact that she had settled for working at a super market instead of finding another a lawyer position. She did it to in order to pay off the bills. She got fired within a week for – well, getting drunk and started being disrespectful to some of the customers.
To say my mother was a train wreck was an understatement.
She couldn't keep up with the expenses for the house and keeping another job was harder especially with her drinking streak. We had no choice but to sell the house and move to a most affordable place, which always turned out to be ugly looking houses.
I tried to help my mom with the bills but I was still a kid back then. Nobody would hire me. Once I was older I, I tried searching for part time jobs to help her out. She wasn't please. She would lecture me on 'School is important. Do not worry, I can handle it."
It was a lie.
Sometimes would I hear my mom cry at nights.
She had gotten a job as a maid and cleaned wealthy houses located in the mountain region. I would hardly see her at home because she worked late. I was force to grow up quickly after that.
Luckily my mom found a better job that pays more money; I guess working as a maid paid off. She meet a woman that owns a law firms and was relocated the office to a bigger building. The woman needed more assistants and hired my mom.
So we pack all other stuff and left to another town. I'm happy that my mom got her things together and ready to live her life.
Maybe being invisible isn't that bad, because moving all the time…I never have to deal with the whole "awkward friendship good-bye" if I had friends.
It has its advantages right?….
