Wooo! New story! I'm going to be focusing on my Black Butler story and this one, so please don't freak if I'm not updating alot. I hop you enjoy!
Ever since I started middle school, things sucked. People called me weirdo in the hall, cliques picked on me, and people gave this message to me every single day of my school life: You don't belong here. Why? Because: I was half French. My eyes were different colors; one was sea blue, and the other was a forest green. I parted my hair every morning so that my bangs covered my left green eye. They didn't need a big reason to pick on me, and this was sufficient enough.
One time, a girl said to me, "Wow. your hair color is just like the sun." Thinking that this was a compliment, I thanked her. "Why? because it hurts your eyes whenever you look at it!"
Laughter soon followed. She pushed me down, and sneered."Why are you here? You shouldn't exist. You're such a nuisance."
She flicked her long black hair, and walked away, laughing. Ever since then, there was a large wall between others and I. They didn't talk to me, so I didn't talk to them. simple as that. I noticed one day that there was a presence that was similar to mine. The Hitachiin twins. It was as if they existed in their own world. They only need each other for existing. The sole purpose for one was so the other could be. I grew to like the two, and their differences stuck out to me. Kaoru was more mature, and Hikaru wasn't. I could see it in their eyes and the air around them. I wanted to become friends with them. But I knew I never would have the chance; of all people, they wouldn't accept me. The Invisible Presence. One day I wrote Kaoru a letter, wanting them to meet me after school at the large courtyard that Ouran had. So they did. Kaoru was there. Eh?
"There you are. I'm sorry I'm late. What did you want to talk about?"
I played innocent, and tried to be the shy little girl I was supposed to be. the person people expected me to be. I blushed on command, tinting my cheeks a light, rosy pink.
"W-well...um...I was wondering...if we could go to the park together, Kaoru. I want to say some things to you."
Satisfaction lit up in his eyes. He smirked, but most girls would have thought that to be a soft smile.
"Mmm. But you see, I'm Hikaru. But I thought you were pretty cute. Mind going out with me instead?" He murmured. Eh? "W-well...um...if..." He grinned.
I dropped the act, and looked at him boldly.
"If you keep on lying like that, Kaoru, nobody is going to be able to tell you apart. Hikaru!" I yelled, knowing that he was nearby since his evil aura that kept bugging me. "Quit hiding."
Shocked, he came out of the bushes. They were both obviously startled. "How did you know? Nobody has been able to tell us apart. Not even our mother can do that." The asked in unison. It was now my turn to smile. This is what people used to call my Cheshire Smile. "Because," I sneered. "Just because I'm the Invisible Presence doesn't mean Idont hear every word you say. Doesn't mean I don't know what is going on. DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU TWO ARE DOING! I know how to tell you apart because I pay attention, unlike you morons. You push away everyone who tries to be friend you, and every girl who confesses to you. You take sick pleasure in toying with people's emotions and feelings. Why? Because. You're. Lonely."
The two of them were staring stupidly at me with utter disbelief. I snickered, and flicked my long golden colored hair.
"I'm just like you. But I have the advantage because if you want to be strong, you need to be hurt. Over and over." I walked away from the pathetic twins, my footsteps echoing on the stones. "Like me."
They never looked at me the same way again. More like, they never looked at me ever again. But I knew that they wouldn't forget what I said. Ever. People kept whispering about me, and they stopped talking to me. Thus, I got a new nickname. Sairento Hime; The Silent Princess.
It was a normal day at Ouran High. For me, at least. People with sneers on their faces, the occasional snide comment, and of course, this horrid yellow dress. I swear, who would come up with such an horrible design? It was the color of the custard I used to eat as a child, and the sleeves puffed up in the most unattractive way. The classes went by as usual, nothing changed. Except one thing. As I was leaving the campus, I ran into a boy with fiery red hair and golden- no, amber colored eyes, knocking my bag over and spilling all of its contents. I landed on the ground with an oof. People beside me didn't laugh, for once. The boy was also on the floor, ruffling his hair in embarrassment.
"Sorry. Didn't see you." He muttered. I started gathering my things, and out them in my leather bag. I didn't say anything. When I got up, i held out a hand toward the boy. He grinned and took it, and I helped him up.
"Thanks." I nodded, and resumed my exit. "Wait!" He called, and I turned.
What now? "What's your name?" I glared at him. "Don't you know already?" I moved my bangs, revealing my mismatched eye. People around gasped, and others looked at me in disgust. "I am the Sairento Hime." I turned back around and continued walking. Behind me, I heard a voice that made me freeze.
"Kaoru! Are you okay?"
"Yea. I'm fine, Hikaru. Don't worry."
I heard the first voice say, "Who was she?"
There were whispers, and a small gasp. "Do you think...it's her?"
I ran before I could hear anything more. When I was outside, a firm hand grabbed my arm. I clicked my tongue. What the hell do those guys want! I want them out of my friggin life! I put on my shy mask, faking tears.
"Owww.." I wailed softly.
I looked to see who my attacker was, and I was face to face with that boy again.
"It's you. It really is!" His mirror image soon followed. The pair of them stood there, in front of my teary face. I tugged the arm he was holding on to. "Let go...it hurts." As soon as he released his grip, I rubbed the area his hand was on.
"Hey. Remember us?" I looked back and forth between the two of them, feigning confusion, and then shook my head.
"Yea. We thought so." The twin on the right leaned in to wipe away the tear. I blushed, turning my cheeks slightly pink and turned away. "What's your name? I'm Hikaru."
I trembled a bit. "...miku..." I murmured. "Miku. That's a cute name." And then I remembered what he said.
"I thought you were pretty cute. Wanna go out with me instead?" His words echoed in my ear. My eyes widened in realization. "No!" I cried, pushing him away. "No no no no no!"
The pair of them grinned. "So now you remember, Hime-sama."
They said in unison. I dropped onto the grass, and covered my eyes. Real tears began to flow. I sat there, shaking.
"I hate you! I hate hate hate you both! I waited for so long at the park but you never came!" I wailed. "You two just never grow up! If you want people to be able to tell you apart, then you need to make friends. Or else, you might just miss that special person. You two haven't changed!"
I grabbed my bag and ran off, in tears.
Woo! Done! You like it? Please leave any suggestions in the comments box and if you have an idea for an OC, let me know. I'll do my best to incorporate it in my story if it works, so please don't be mad if I don't do it right away. Thanks as always!
