This is my very first fanfiction! Please review if you might be so kind. Constructive criticism is welcome as well as encouragement. I'm sorry the first chapter is so short, the chapters do get longer however.
I do not own Skip Beat! or any of its characters, or anything else having to do with it. Thank you! -Kason
"Hors d'oeurve?" Kyoko asked, carrying a large round tray through crowds of people. Wearing her neon pink "LoveMe" suit, she stood out and provoked not-so-occasional snickers from those who passed by. She felt ridiculous, like the ugly duckling being harassed by swans.
Her assignment had been simple enough—offer appetizers to the guests at Ms. Kiyo's little "get together", as she called it. At first Kyoko thought that this woman must have just wanted to use someone from LoveMe as free labor. After she arrived at the party, she also saw another reason for being specifically chosen out of the LoveMe section.
Many actresses in LME had begun to notice a recurring sight that had bothered them. The sight of the newbie actress Kyoko who seemed constantly around the revered and much sought after Ren Tsuruga. It seemed that recently, the women who had simply been disinterested and ignorant in Kyoko before had now come to taking a special interest in trying to humiliate the girl in front of him, being outright rude to Kyoko and giving her as many belittling jobs as possible.
After seeing Ren at the party, the fact that she had been made once again dawned on her, and Kyoko suddenly felt worn out. Balancing all the new LoveMe assignments, and her acting in DarkMoon, Box R, and as "Bo",along with keeping up with her schoolwork, there hadn't been much downtime for her. The dark rings around her eyes were proof of that.
These girls are harassing me for something that is non-existent! Kyoko thought, a fire sparking inside her. Tsuruga-san is my sempai! Nothing more! He is always helping me because he feels responsible and is a good person! She seethed. The reoccurring situations reminded her of how she was treated in school as a child because of how much attention she received from Sho. Kyoko's face contorted into a look of sheer rage.
Seeing a man eyeing her appetizers, Kyoko held her tray out to him asking, "HORS D'OEURVE?" The man shrieked, cringing and sinking back into the crowd as grudges floated around his body.
The Next chapter is longer :) This I just needed for my intro. Thank you for reading. -Kason
