(Hey everyone, I am really new to this website where I'd like to share my works with others. Please give me feedback and recommend any new stories I can right. WARNING: I do a lot of perspective changes in this one in particular. Thanks!)
It was the start of the school year, I woke up groggy and tired as I stared at my school identification card. Luka Megurine it read. With a heavy sigh, I stared at my alarm clock, fully aware it was barely dawn, and yet, I stared blankly. My gaze moved to the picture next to the little clock. The picture, was of me and my ex, Kaito Shion; my eyes blurred. Realizing it was tears, I wiped them slowly and picked up the picture, caressing it gently as if it was a baby and held it close to my chest. Impulsively, I started sobbing, It wasn't supposed to end this way, my heart yelled as I tightly gripped the image. Falling back in my bed, I stare at the old photo and just let it fall on the bed. "Does he still remember me?" I mumbled, remembering how distant we were in the years throughout high school; a glance is all I would catch from him throughout our days. We both graduated without a word. Now, I was going to enter the College for Talented Artists with these memories holding tightly on me. Burdened, I close my eyes to calm myself and do so until I hear quiet purring of my alarm clock. Wiping whatever tears I have on my eyes, I sit up reluctantly and get ready to change. Opening my closet, I pull out my new uniform and stare. Kaito would love this, I think in my head. As I continue to think about him, I remember the way he smiled when he saw me, the way his lips curled up into a blissful upward arch, the way his eyes sparkled in the sunlight, and the way he nervously ruffled his soft, blue hair. He would always greet me with,
"There's my princess!" and thinking on these magical moments, I completely lose it. Sobbing till' I was nearly out of breath, I scream with whatever I have,
"Kaito! Where are you?!" Falling to the ground, I whisper weakly, "I'm sorry...I...I'm such an idiot..." I stay there for a few minutes and get up, pained, gripping my chest. Looking at my tear covered face, I do my best to rid of any evidence of any incident. After brushing and bathing, I had calmed myself down enough to put on the uniform. I fixed myself as one would do on a date, only to realize it was futile. "He's not coming back..." I mutter. I bite my lip, and I bite it hard before the tears would come for me. Taking deep breaths I grab my book bag and head for the door. Before leaving, I stare at my room, then change my gaze to just the little photo. "Kaito...gomen." Silently, I close the door, and head for school.
(Setting change to Kaito's room)
"Uugh..." I groan as I hear the buzz of my alarm. Roughly, I hit, angry, that I didn't talk to Luka that graduation day. I need to explain what happened that day I say as my mind drifts to that day.
(Flashback)
"I'll be right back Kaito, ok?" Luka says happily, giving me a peck on the cheek.
"All right." I say laughing, and I peck her back. She walks off to grab us lunches when Miku, a close friend of mine walks up to me. For some reason, she seems awfully nervous.
"Kaito..I have something to tell you." she mumbles. Strangely, her face was red and she kept moving her eyes back and forth. Worried I nod. Caught by surprise Miku wraps her arms around my waist, and screams at the top of her lungs, "I love you Kaito!" and kisses me, full in the lips. They were so soft, I got caught up in this sudden attack, and instinctively, I hugged her also. When she let go, we were both blushing. "So, will you be mine?" she asks. I shake my head, and in the corner of my eye, I see a figure behind a tree with lunches in their hands until I realize, it was Luka. She saw everything.
"Luka!" I yell, and I start sprinting after her upset at myself, upset at Miku, upset at life. Of course, Miku chases after me and Luka, seeing me coming after her, makes a run for it also, dropping the lunches. I'm able to corner her, and lose Miku in the process. I look at her face closely, covered in tears, brows furrowed in anger, and her hand gripping tightly at her chest. She's out of breath, and so am I. "It's not what you think it is..." I tell her.
"Don't lie!" she screams, more angry than I've ever seen. Shocked, I back away a step. "When she kissed you!.." she screams, gasping for air, "you embraced her too!" Luka is now sobbing and on the ground, and my heart breaks. She spoke the truth, and I got on my knee and silently reached for her hand. She looked up, with such a pained face I could bare to look at it. "You never kissed me.." she whispered, "on the lips...and never an embrace so deep." A long pause occurred between us. Just then, Miku found us.
"Kaito..." she mumbled. She inched closer towards us. "You will be mine,...right?" her eyes were wide, and they seemed possessed. I was scared, backing away as she inched closer. I looked to Luka for help, but she looked away tearing away my hand.
"I hate you Kaito..." I hear, and turn in shock at Luka. "I loved you so much, but I guess everything we've been through doesn't mean anything." standing up, she walked out without a word. Ever since then, we didn't speak a word; I also ignored Miku, hating her with everything I had. But deep inside, I knew it was my fault.
(Back to Kaito's room)
"If only I could start over again." I tell myself. I sit up, and hold my card. It read Kaito Shion of the College of Talented Artists. No way Luka was here, she was an amazing singer, and she probably moved on elsewhere. Thinking that I'd never see her gleaming blue eyes, her flowing pink hair, with that cheerful smile, I cried all morning through my routine, and as I left the door, gripping my heart as the mirage of memories swept over me like an unending waterfall. "Sayonara." I whispered as I closed the door with a pained heart.
