"Hey CHAKI!" I yelled at Yasuchika Haninozuka, he was a friend of mine when I was in middle school, even though he is a year younger than me. He stopped suddenly, looking surprised. "HOTARU?" he asked flabbergasted. I smiled sweetly at him, "How have you been Chaki-chan? We haven't seen each other in ages... how's beating your brother coming along?" I asked, running up to him. He paused, mulling over what I had said, "That depends, how getting taller coming along? What are you know 4ft?" My jaw dropped, how dare he insult my height? "I am 4ft and a ½ an inch tall! We short people take that half inch very seriously." I said sassily, before bursting into a fit of laughter. His facial expression remained unchanged... wow, I mean I knew he was strict but come ON! Not even a smile... I love making people laugh and that's why we became friends...
~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~
3rd Person POV
Little Hotaru was playing at the park, her green hair flying in her face as she giggled while swinging. She loved nothing more than laughing... accept, of course, making others laugh. When she was at the highest point that the swing could bring her to, she noticed a sad boy at the other end of the park. The swing flew back again, and when it swung forward, she jumped of the swing and landed on her feet. Stumbling slightly, she ran towards the brown-haired kid, her green hair flying behind her. When she made it across the play-ground, she stood in front of him, pushed up her oval red glasses, and said, "Hey. I'm Hotaru." He looked up and stood he replied with, "Yasuchika Haninozuka" He grabbed her hand and shook it. And no matter how much she tried to cheer up the boy, she made no progress. From that day forward, she made it her mission to make him laugh.
