Is it Pity or love?
Flash to the past
A sunny day with some slight breeze two mothers claimed this was a great day to take their six year olds to their neighborhood park. They met up at the corner and both crossed the street with their kids.
"Go have fun," they told the both of them.
Both kids took of running to there favorite place, the sandbox.
While the mothers talked and prepared the picnic.
"Eiji-kun the sands too dry," the young girl complained.
Eiji looked down at the sand, grabbed it and watches it slip through his fingers.
He pouted and crossed his arms.
"I know Rami," he agreed.
They both thought for a minute before Eiji had a bright idea.
He stood up and ran toward the fountain full of fish. He stared at it for a while, making faces at the water's reflection of him. Rami soon joined him in make faces, and they both laughed.
"Oops I forgot, Rami cup your hands and fill them with water," he told her.
Eiji did the same and as soon as he thought it was enough he ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Once at the sandbox he threw the water on the sand. Rami quickly followed his actions.
Eiji huffed "this is not going to work,"
Rami looked at Eiji's frowning face and giggled. She thought his face was funny when he frowned. Which it totally was cause he sticks his lips out too far, it makes him look like a duck. Of course he didn't do that all the time only when he was truly frustrated and sad at the same time.
"Turn that frown upside down duckie," she said smiling.
"I'm not a duckie Rami,"
"Yes, you are,"
"No,"
"Yes,"
"Nooo," he whined
They had a yes and no fight till they heard their mothers call them for lunch. They smiled at each other and raced over to the picnic table.
" You two have fun?" Rami's mother asked them.
They both nodded and continued to munch on their sandwiches.
Rami had plain jelly sandwich, while Eiji had to have peanut butter, banana, and jelly sandwich. Rami looked at him and crunched her face up in disgusted.
Both mothers smiled at their eating kids
" Do you think he'll miss her too much?" Rami's mom asked.
" Probably but it'll get better with time,"
" Does she know?" Eiji's mom asked.
"Yes, but she doesn't think it will happen," Rami's mom laughed.
After the two kids were done, they went to play some more.
They swung on the swings, Eiji fell off. Next there was the slide, Eiji got bored of it fast while Rami went down seventeen times. Their mothers watched their kids laugh, smile, shout, and enjoy they last day together.
Back to the present
Now sixteen, Rami turned into a beautiful young teenager. It was midday, sunny, and warm. Rami wheeled herself over to her window and looked outside. There was no breeze to disturb the branches of her trees in her yard, but they still looked beautiful. She opened her window and let the warmth into her room.
She heard a light knock and looked over to see her mother entered her room.
Rami smiled at her mother and wheeled herself over to her mirror.
"Mom, Should I wear my hair down or up?" she asked.
Her mother walked over her and touched her hair, making her daughter's shoulder length, jet black hair look nice.
" looks nice down hunny,"
she looked up at her mom and smiled. She was grateful her mom was still alive after that accident they had. Rami looked back at the mirror and that memory flashed through her mind. Her mom picked her up late from school and very tired from work. On the way home her mom dozed off for a minute and lost control as they hit a on coming car in the other lane.
The impacted of the hit was so great enough to flip they're car on its back.
Her mom only had 3 broken ribs on her right side, a broken arm, and of course a few scratches and cuts. While Rami results were worst. She had 2 broken ribs, cuts and scratches, and was paralyzed from the waist down.
Rami's life changed into a life with wheeling herself around, instead of walking. Of course the doctor said that she could try to walk again, since her spine looked in good condition. But it would have to take a lot of practice walking in the rehabilitation room. But she was too depressed to do that. She didn't believe she could herself.
"Hunny, you ready to go check out your new school?" her mom asked.
"Yes, mom,"
Rami's mom wheeled her to the car and help her get seated. While her mom walks to the back of the car to put her wheel chair away. Rami thought of Eiji her old friend. Her mom and his mom we're still friends so they kept in contact.
One night her mom had called his mom. They had talk about work and Rami and one subject that caught her daughter's attention. She heard her mom say " Oh it will be great for them to see each other again," Hearing this Rami got excited to see her long time friend. But did he know? Did he forget her?
Rami shook her head. Of course he wouldn't forget her. Her mom got in the driver seat and started the car. As they got closer she became more nervous. Her mom looked over and touched her shoulder.
"Don't worry baby they have ramps and the kids are gone, schools over for today," she reassured her daughter.
"I know mom" Rami replied grabbing her moms hand.
When they arrived they parked in the parking lot. Her mom help her out, Rami place her legs on the feet pads. She wheeled in the school with her mom.
"Hello nice to meet you both." a cheery office assistant greeted.
"Nice to meet you too," Rami said.
Her mom started talking with the principal, while the office assistant lead her around the school and where her classes would be. She like the school. It was clean and as her mom said it had ramps for her to get around. After a while of that they returned to the front office. Her mom had finished settling things with the principal.
Rami wheeled herself to the front doors. She lookout and saw basketball courts, baseball fields, birds, trees, but what interested her the most was the tennis courts. They were still practicing, working hard. Rami loved tennis and used to play but since her accident she had to stopped. But it didn't stop her from watching.
"Um, could someone hold the door open for me please?" she asked politely.
" sure," the office assistant smiled.
The office assistant walked over and pushed the door open and hold it open for her. Rami thanked her and wheeled out the tennis courts smiling. She stopped at the fence and watched the team play each other.
"You like tennis?" a boy with glasses asked.
"Yes very much," she said turning her attention towards him.
"Well, I'm Inui Sadaharu," he introduced himself.
"Rami Satou," she replied.
She watched Inui write things in his book. He looked over and blushed at Rami watching him. He continued to write even though Rami was staring at him. He was flushed the whole time though.
"What are you writing?" she asked him finally.
"Data about the team," Inui replied.
Rami sighed and continued watching the team play. She was bored with watching Inui write data in his little book.
"Inui who's all playing? Can you tell me they're names please?" she asked him.
He looked at her and nodded closing his notebook.
"Over there with the bandana on is Kaidoh," he said pointing to Kaidoh.
Inui pointed to his opponent.
" he's Momoshiro,"
Inui then pointed to the next court.
"The one with the light brown hair is Fuji and his opponent is Ryoma"
He turned towards her and turned her around and pointed to his captain.
"That's Tezuka and the one standing next to him is Kawamura,"
Rami turned her self around and faced Inui and smiled. She was grateful she already met someone nice. She already had one friend and it was better than having no friends. She looked at all the players but realized he forgot two. She pointed at them and looked at Inui.
"Who are those two over there?" she asked him.
"Oh sorry, the one with the black hair is Oishi and his opponent is
Eiji,"
" W-wait who did you say his opponent was?" she asked shocked it was him.
"That's Kikumaru Eiji," he said again
"Eiji," she repeated smiling.
" Do you know him? Or just like him?" Inui asked.
"Are u jealous?" She laughed " I knew him since I moved away when I was six," she informed him.
Inui blushed at the first part " no, and that's great."
Rami watched with Inui until their practice was over. She Immediately wheeled herself over as fast as she could to see her old friend, hoping he would recognize her.
She got closer to him. She couldn't wait to see his reaction. But Eiji was to focus on getting inside and getting clean that he ran passed her. Rami put her hand out and tried to call him but his name wouldn't come out of her mouth. She looked down and frowned, he didn't see her.
Fuji saw her trying to get Eiji attention and he watched her fail. He walked over to her smiling.
"Hi are you okay?" he asked.
" No . . . he didn't notice," she said looking up sadly.
Fuji bent down to Rami level. She was much shorter sitting in a wheelchair. But standing up she was average. He smiled at her and placed his hand on hers.
" Don't worry I'll tell him your waiting to talk to him," he reassured her.
" Thanks fuji," she said smiling.
" You know my name?" he asked surprised.
" Inui told me your names," she smiled.
He nodded. " Well I better go tell Eiji,"
He stood up, smiled at her and said goodbye.
Rami watched as Fuji walked toward the boys locker room. Her hope rose up once more.
"Please remember me Eiji" She thought.
