A Love Story
Chapter I
"Ouch… my headache again…" a girl murmured while she's polishing her uncle's shoes.
"Shut up!" her uncle demanded and he gave her a smack on her cheek. Tears began to fall from her bloody red eyes.
"Go to the marketplace and buy us some foods for lunch and dinner!" her uncle said and he tossed her some cashes. The girl wiped her tears and she picked up the money. She went to cupboard, this is where she sleeps, and put on her white silky dress with long sleeves. She brushed her hair and went outside her room. She passed by her thin and tall Aunt Honey Parker with her fat and blonde daughter, Honeydew Parker. Her uncle, Hendry Parker, was busy watching TV. She went outside the house and her dog, Seitz, rushed towards her and jumped to her arms. She hugged her dog and released it with a kiss. Seitz went back to her dog house. She walked to the pathway and spotted a ring. It was made of silver and it has a crystal blue jewel. She slipped it to her index finger and it fitted.
Her name is Rain Denise Kurume, a 16 year old sophomore student from Domino High and her title is The Ice Princess. She has a knee-length, snow-white hair with purple streaks and she has a bloody red eyes. Her bangs almost covered her eyes and she has a pinkish-white skin. She's a top student in her freshman year. She's really talented but she always hides it. Her only best friend, Seitz the Japanese Spitz dog given by her Aunt Honey, is the only one who can hear her sing and play a guitar. Seitz has a sky blue dog collar with her name on it and she loves to play with Rain. She has a crystal blue pendant given by her Aunt Honey on her 16th birthday and she always hides it under her clothes. Uncle Hendry told her that her parents were murdered so he adopted her. Honeydew and her friends always beat her so she always has bruises and scars. Aunt Honey is kind to her so she's somehow lucky because her aunty will protect her. She and her aunty always do the house chores. Even though she's treated like this, she has a kind heart and she prefers to be alone. Some students tried to be friends with her but she always refused them because Honeydew and her friends will just beat them up. That is why she has the title of The Ice Princess.
"Ha, do you think that thing can make you look beautiful?" Mandy, Honeydew's best friend, yelled to her and laughed in amusement. She's a redheaded girl who thinks she's beautiful and smart. Well, she's not actually beautiful and smart, that's what Rain thinks. She just ignored Mandy and she walked to the sidewalk. She spotted a group of teens playing duel monsters with their duel disks. She's not really interested in duel monsters so she just ignored them. When she arrived at the marketplace, she bought some foods to cook for lunch and dinner. There's some cash left so she decided to buy some taiyaki and a cherry smoothie. She went to the park and ate her foods on the park bench. While she's enjoying her foods and the view at the park, a boy with a white hair and with a Maltese dog with two pigtails passed by. The dog jumped on Rain's lap and it gave her a cute puppy dog eyes.
"Aw… Do you want some taiyaki?" she asked the dog. It barked to her and nodded. Rain giggled and she gave it some of her taiyaki. The dog ate it and it slept on her lap. The boy sat beside her and he took his dog and placed it on his lap.
"She really liked you." He said in a British accent.
"What's her name?" Rain asked and she moved closer to him.
"Crystal." he replied and he looked at Rain. She slowly put her hand on Crystal's head and she carefully caressed her hand into her fur. She smiled to it and giggled.
"So, you're the owner of this lovely dog? I really like her, too." she smiled to him.
"I… Uh…" the boy blushed and he looked at the other way.
"I have to go now. Bye." She took her stuffs and left the boy on the park bench with his dog.
"I haven't asked her name yet." He murmured and sighed.
Rain went back to the house and placed the foods on the kitchen table. Aunt Honey was busy washing their clothes and she noticed Rain has arrived.
"Rain, can you please chop those vegetables you bought!" she yelled.
"Okay." Rain said and she chopped the vegetables. While she's busy chopping, Uncle Hendry showed up and he approached her.
"Tomorrow, we'll buy your school supplies and you're coming with us." He said.
"Yes, Uncle." She said and she went to her aunty.
"Aunty, what did you feel when you first saw Uncle?" she asked. Aunt Honey didn't respond for a while.
"Let's not talk about it, Rain. Cook those vegetables you chopped." She said.
"Oh… Okay." Rain said and she went back to the kitchen. She cooked the vegetables and she prepared the plates and the other utensils on the table. She called out her aunty, her uncle and most of all, her cousin Honeydew and her friend, Mandy. They ate their lunch together and Honeydew ate a lot. Rain is a good cook because Aunt Honey taught her. Of course, Rain will wash the dishes as usual. She went outside to her dog after washing the dishes and she played with her. It took her 3 hours to play with her. Seitz ended up sleeping on Rain's lap, tired of playing with her. She placed her inside her dog house and went back to her own house. Honeydew and Mandy was busy playing with the ps3 while Uncle Hendry is inside his room. Aunt Honey was at the marketplace, buying some foods to stock in the fridge. Rain went to her cupboard and she jumped to her bed. She looked at the ceiling and wondered why she wants to know the boy's name even if she doesn't care about him. She has to admit, the boy's really cute with his dog, Crystal, but WHY? She shook her head playfully and she just forgets about him. She closed her eyes and after 5 minutes, she fell into a deep slumber. Her aunty opened the door to check her out and she found out her niece was sleeping. She covered her with her thin sheets and she left the room.
