SUMMARY: Kaorin has had a massive crush on Sakaki for over two years now, and although she hides it very poorly, the one thing that no one seems to realize is her private pain over her own emotions and feelings.
PROLOGUE:
Kaorin was a young girl in the prime of her life; the picture of beauty, and a golden personality to match. She was kind with anyone she spoke with, and she always tried to warm up to people when the opportunity arose. It seemed that she was the girl that would be the envy of all.
The operative word, of course, was should. Kaorin, although good-natured and kind, was a quiet person who only spoke when she was spoken to—because of this, she never made any more than one friend during her first two years of high school: one Chihiro, who was also a quiet girl. The closest level of fellowship anyone else who spoke with Kaorin would end up developing was that of mere acquaintanceship. Even with Chihiro's place in Kaorin's life, she rarely even spoke to her.
Home life wasn't any better—Kaorin was quiet with everyone but her parents, who she constantly battled and argued with over trivial issues that one would normally blow off. Because of this, Kaorin felt that she didn't have anyone in the whole world who cared about her.
So high school life dragged on and on for Kaorin, day in and day out, in the same monotonous pattern: get up, get dressed, go to school, go home, eat supper, and go to sleep. It was enough to make her want to scream, but there was one sole factor that kept her going from day to day, and that was her admiration of a fellow classmate:
Sakaki.
