In one corner of a room of a kindergarten , sat a child. A boy;alone. There was another group of children chatting happily across the room. The lonely boy across the room in the corner didn't really mind the fact that he was being ignored. I asked him whether he felt lonely,he answered me 'why would I be lonely?'. That didn't really matter though, every loner in this world would had given the same answer. the shocking thing was the next few sentence that came out from the boy's mouth. He said, 'I can be friends with them,but what's the point? These people just lie to each other to make them like each other. These 'friends' will one day leave you if they see no benefits in you for them.' He pointed his finger to someone across the room and added, ' That's what that's exactly happening to him.'
My eyesight followed his finger and 'Ahh…' I told myself. It's 'him'. I know the boy. Probably not just me though. Everyone in the town practically know the boy. Why? That boy is well known for his intelligence, charm, appearance as well as his family background. He was a lucky boy that was born in a family that was controlling almost the whole town. In a good way that is. People loved his parents. His parents helped the people a lot. Therefore the people voted and put the crown onto his family crest and let them rule the town together with the council. Now back to the boy. Despite his huge family background and influence,he never relied on it. Despite his family's wealth,he lived a normal boy's life. He walks and cycles to school. Unlike any other wealthy boy of his own age,he wanted to be himself. Indeed he was famous,he was rich,children would swarm around him just to be his friends. Clearly,the boy wasn't dumb or stupid enough to not know that the children around him couldn't be dependable friends. Even so,he still puts on a smile and talk to them. He was too kind to hurt anyone's heart.
Days passed,weeks passed,I kept observing both of them from afar. One day,something happened. As I was watching,my smile stretched from one side to the other of my face. The 'rich and famous' kid,left his crowd and walked towards the lonely 'ghost' in the corner of the room. The ghost boy noticed him. The 'rich and famous' boy stopped in front of the ghost boy and extended his hand 'Hi,my name is Sora Rentaro. Nice to meet you. Would you like to join us? Can yyou be my friend?' he said lound and clear. Every kid in the room watched what happened with their eyes leaving their sockets. Everyone including me was waiting for ghost boy's respond. As expected,he lifted his head,looked at Mr. 'rich and famous' and said 'Nice to meet you. No offence,but can you pleases leave me alone?' the children pulled a long gasp and the silence was soon broken with voices saying, 'Come on Sora,just leave him alone.', 'He doesn't make friends', 'He's weird.'. Mr 'rich and famous' was dragged away from ghost boy but he gave a wink and said to him 'I won't leave you alone.' You have my word.'
Who ever knew he really meant what he said that day. Every day,he approached ghost boy and talked to him. Again and again. Days and weeks passed,everyday he'll just get a few words reply from ghost boy,sometimes ignored and get dragged away by the crowd.
One day,the thick layer of ice barrier was melted and break into pieces. Mr. 'rich and famous' was following ghost boy home,trying to talk to him. 'Man,he's presistant' ghost told himself when he was crossing the road. Out of nowhere,a car turned into the junction at a high speed and it was almost on ghost boy 'Crap!' he thought. But,he felt a strong jerk pulling him back. 'Ouch!' he landed on his butt. Beside his stood Mr. 'rich and famous', offering his hand again. This time, ghost boy took his hand and said 'Name's Ren Satomi. Nice to meet you.' And so,the life tale of the two friends started.
