holding thorns
One day, you find out that Kyoko is dazzling.
You think you might be going a little crazy.
This girl, she - Kyoko, is someone against your beliefs.
Kyoko is your average girl, your girl next door - she doesn't have the figure you desire, nor is she fabulous or famous, she's someone who's known you since young, one who knows your weak points and still, once upon a time, idolized you.
You snarl at her stupidity for leaving you.
(Can't she see it? She's special to you.)
Then again, your traitorous mind tells you, you've always taken her for granted.

The next time you see her, it is at a television set, and she is with your rival.
(Somehow you feel this isn't some simple one-sided rivalry anymore when his eyes glaze at you with something dark)
Kyoko is smiling at him.
Her smile is something you've seen, countless times, something you're immune to, something you've taken for granted, but you see red and something ugly rears in you, and it's almost all you can do to keep a façade.
You almost storm away, scoffing at the way your manager sees it as jealousy. It's not, of course.
You can't keep yourself from smashing things when you're back alone.
