In this world Cruelty is found everywhere but there are also great things you will and shall find, that is why we decide our path... the path of happiness or of depression. I do not know which path it is that I have chosen but my priority right now is to protect those who I treasure. THe tears that fall from the sky... yes tears. We humans named it rain but I know they are tears. The distress of all the people and in someway i contains happiness but for now I am not sure but I will someday...

I stopped writing. It was a habit I guess to right down about the rain, I'd sensed someone's stare so I quickily closed my notebook and looked at the person who was staring at me. This was a secret I held from others because I knew that if I ever talked about it I would be alienated and right now I needed to avoid that. I am in 9th grade... a time when most of the girls only think about their boyfriends and so I too have a boyfriend though he is not real it withdraws a lot of attention from me. The only one who knows about my boyfriend not being real is my best friend May.

-How long will you keep up this lie? You know they are starting to get suspicious. You don,t have REAL proof. No pictures no presence equals to no boyfriend... Why do you even hang out with them ?

-Y'know why! I haven't even crushed on someone before and even you've has crushes. THAT DRAWS TOO MUCH ATTENTION!-

-WHAT DO YOU MEAN EVEN I?!-

I smiled nervously apologizing for what i had just said. I went back to the girls group I'd been before.

-Hey Airi hey Etsuko, Im back!

-Hey! You know AIri is kind of right. We,ve never seen your boyfriend not even a picture. You better not be inventing him.-

-Why would I?-

And like that school ended. I walked home alone thinking about where I could get a picture or of a sudden a bunch of girls were hollering over something so I pushed a few girls and saw what the fuss was about. It was a guy, his smile was like aprince so I took my cellphone and took his picture. It was perfect. I looked out of my cellphone screen and saw that my cellphone was just in front of the guy's face

-I'm sorry- I apologized and quickly ran away from the crowd. I grinned ear to ear with the picture I had taken. This should be enough proof.

The next day I showed my friends Airi and Etsuko my boyfriend.

- Here is a picture. - I said I I took out my cellphone almost bragging of my fake boyfriend picture.

- You know he looks kind of familiar. Isn't he that guy over there?...Hikaru Itsuki from 3-A?-

The guy from yesterday was in my school and he was right in front of me. I have some bad luck don,t I?

-You're that...-

I interuppted what he was about to say and dragged him far away from my friends.I stopped to catch my breath.

After a while I told him the situation. He decided to be my fake boyfriend in order to keep up with my lies.
