Friendship

~ Chapter One ~
Lycia Colden stood with her back against a wall and smiled as she sighed and closed her eyes. Her heart felt as if it danced within her and words formed inside her head and in her throat and on her lips. She sang the lyrics of a song she made up and meant the words with all her heart.
"I used to be sad.
Used to be lonely.
Little girl who cried alone.
Little girl who considered herself ugly.
Shatter the image staring back at me!
Hated myself for all I wasn't!
Not anymore, 'cuz."
She forgot her surroundings and sang the chorus with a passionate strength.
"Baby!
You opened my eyes!
You saved my life!
You awakened me!"
"I used to consider myself fat.
People assumed the worst of me.
Words so cruel cut so deep into my flesh.
You came along and showed me something more."
She sang the second chorus.
"Baby, oh, baby!
You opened my eyes!
You saved my life!
You saved me from the dark!"
"You showed me the light!
You showed me there's a bright side!
You showed me there's a side colored green!
Oh, baby!
You opened my eyes!"
She stood with her back against the wall as she smiled and breathed, her eyes closed and her heart pounded. She heard footsteps as someone approached and she quickly dove for the nearby bushes. She squeezed her eyes shut and thought, EEEK! Oh no! Someone saw! Someone heard! and her breath and the pounds of her heart filled her ears. She didn't hear when someone approached the bushes. She felt the bushes move and she felt arms gently pull her from the bushes.
"You dove into a thorn bush."
She looked and saw sharp thorns and the cuts on her flesh. "I didn't notice until you mentioned it. That goes to show how much you startled me."
"I didn't mean to startle you. I wanted to tell you that you have a lovely voice."
Jeez! I swear! I'm the most ridiculous person! "I apologize that you had to chase me down and pull me out of a thorn bush." She noticed the cuts on his fingers, hands, and arms. "I'm the cause of the thorn cuts on your fingers, hands, and arms."
"I'm fine. It's just little cuts and a little blood."
She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine. Have it your way. What's your name, or do I have to guess?"
"Shinn Asuka. What's yours?"
"Lycia Colden."
Hikari Maiden: Seriously. Why do you think I have no anonymous review? Why do you think I have no private message? I'd get a bunch of garbage I don't need. I'm not going to listen to anyone making fun of every little punctuation, every little typo, every little word, every little phrase, every little sentence, every little paragraph, every little fan fiction. I'm not going to listen to anyone trying to discourage me. I'm not going to listen to anyone pre-judging me for what I create. Those who do such hurtful things aren't helping. No where in the rules does it specifically say that I'm not able to create my own characters and insert them into fan fiction. Stop complaining. Don't review if you aren't able to put anything nice. Is my point made? Is my point clear? I hope so. Don't irritate me and don't infuriate me because it's easy to do so.
