Heya, I'm here yet again. Just got this idea while in class today. It might be like other ideas, but whatever, at least it's not copying. I hope you enjoy~ 3

And if you point out grammar issues, I'd be happy, but please be reasonable. c:

As she gazed at the boy she liked, she couldn't help but to lose her thoughts and picture him with her. Everyone else around her disappeared, and all she saw was him – his dark blue hair, eyes, soft, light skin, perfect face…

Like him and her would ever happen. Amu Hinamori was one of the worst of the worst at love – and nothing was attractive about her. She was naturally a beautiful person, and unknowing of it, she was totally oblivious to her appearance.

Her hair was always in a messy ponytail, with loops of hair falling into her face. Her glasses looked old, with tape at the bridge, and her uniform was uncoordinated. Her skirt came above her belly button, with her shirt neatly tucked in, her tie ironed and professional, at least four pens in her pocket. She wore white socks that reached to her knees, and her shoes were little Mary Janes.

The bell rang and the door burst open, and Saaya Yamabuki ran towards Ikuto's desk. Immediately she pressed her lips to his, as if she couldn't live at least forty five minutes of class without a passionate kiss.

Saaya was also perfect – the perfect girl for Ikuto. Her healthy curls and emerald eyes gave her a look to any girl: "Stay away from my property." (Property, meaning, Ikuto.) her body was perfect, her hair was perfect, her clothes were perfect, everything was just perfect.

…And this didn't make Amu feel any better.

Utau slammed her hands on Amu's desk, making her jump.

"Amu, quit gazing at hentai-boy, it's time to go home already."

Utau was Amu's best friend. She is Ikuto's step-sister. She knows about Amu's love for Ikuto and desperately wants to help her best friend, but Amu doesn't want to trouble anyone with the burden of her feelings. Still, Utau offers her help every day.

"B-But, Utau… he's so… dreamy…"

"You know, Amu, I could always help you~" Utau replied with puppy eyes. "It kills me to see you looking at him like this when you're a gorgeous woman!"

"Looks aren't everything, Utau," Amu replied, packing her bag and walking out the class with Utau.

"They're the first thing you see in a person." Utau sighed. "You know what, Amu? I'm not gonna ask you any more, I'm telling you. We are gonna get you to go out with my step brother, and that's that!" And with that, Utau took Amu's hand and led her to her house.

"Utau, there's really no need—"

"Oh yes there is. Meet me here, eleven sharp tomorrow. We're going shopping."

With a groan, Amu walked out of Utau's house, seeing Ikuto pull in the driveway, with sunglasses and a careless expression on his face. Her breath caught and her heart started to dance.

She stepped backward, keeping her eye on the handsome man, and tripped. Her bag ripped open and her books fell out.

"Aw, crap," she whispered. She heard Ikuto's door slam and footsteps near her.

"You should watch where you're going," a husky voice came from behind. Amu looked up to see Ikuto, gazing down at her.

"U-U-Um y-yeah, I sh-should. S-Sorry."

He sighed and started to help her pick up the books, when she heard the other door slam.

"Ikuto-koiiii, what are you doing? Let her pick her books up herself, it's her fault, after all," Saaya whined. She looked impatient for something. "Your parents are on a trip! It's our one chance to—"

Amu immediately turned her head to Saaya. She knew what they were going to do. "S-Sorry for interrupting… I'll be leaving now… Thanks."

Ikuto stared at her, biting his lip. He wanted to help her, but his girlfriend wanted him. He tossed her book back on the ground and turned to Saaya, who was in his arms that instant. She led him into another kiss, and still kissing, walked inside.

Amu felt her breath catch again, but it wasn't of happiness, or seeing Ikuto. It was sadness. Jealousy. Why couldn't she be perfect? Doesn't she deserve a little better? A single tear fell from her eyes, and before she would start to cry out loud, she ran home, all her books in her arms. The weight was nothing to her.

She had decided.

She would change. She would get the man of her dreams.

Wiping the last tear on her face, she smiled and thought about what could be.
