A/N: There are no Sailor Scouts. There are no Z fighters. They're just plain people.
Please review my story but no flames!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Except my cat. If you sue, that's all you'll get- a 16-pound fur ball.
The prologue's a song fic. The rest of it's not. Don't worry; the real chapters will be a lot longer.
Reflection- Prologue
~Prologue~
"Can't you ever do anything right?" Rei demanded.
"Nope. I'm pretty screwed up, Rei." I mumbled. Why bother defending myself? She's right. I looked down at my test paper in despair. I had failed with a whopping 29%. I found no use trying. I couldn't do anything right, so why bother?
~Look at me
You may think you see
who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
my heart ~
I saw my friend's eyes soften. Oh great. Here comes the pity. "Rina, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so hard on you. Maybe if you just-"
"Don't bother Rei. You're totally right. I'm stupid. I've also got to go," I said, picking up my bag. I opened the door and left before anyone could speak. Outside, I treaded down the long flight of stairs slowly. At the bottom, a motorcycle pulled up in front of me. The driver took off his helmet and smiled at me.
"Hey! Wanna ride?" Darien asked in a cheerful voice.
~I am now
In a world where I have to
hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am ~
"No. Thank you," I knew I was being unreasonably rude to my boyfriend but I couldn't care less. Nothing mattered anymore.
"Rina…" His voice trailed off when he saw the look on my face. One of the advantages of having a smart boyfriend was that they knew when to butt out. He waved at me and drove off, leaving me in silence.
~There's a heart
that must
be free to fly
That burns with a need
to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
someone else
for all time~
I looked up at the gray sky and the millions of snowflakes falling. I smiled softly and breathed in the fresh air. The smile faded as I heard Mina call my name and I ran home, not bothering to repond.
