"Reaching You"

by: Chocolat a' la folie


How I wished my hand could reach yours.


"Mikan-chan, want me to help you?"

"Mi-chan, you can have my seat."

"Sakura-san, you're really gorgeous!"

Almost every guys said that to me. I'm used to it; guys being good to me that leads to girls hating me. Some we're sticking to me to gain what they want and speak behind my back. I always receive special treatment from everyone to the point where I don't know who's real and who's not. I really hate this. I just transferred here in Alice Academy from my former school on Okinawa two weeks ago and I hate the fact that I already received almost everyone's attention. I don't know what did they saw in me. I don't deserve any special treatment.

I returned here for a reason and I don't think I could find that reason here.

I wonder if I can meet him again in this town...

To be able to apologize to him, that's the thing that I want to do..

But..

"Hey cutie, want me to tour you around?"

I spin around to face him, "I can do it by myself."

"Come on, I'll just tour you." he said, holding my hand.

At this rate, I'm pissed off and I want to kick him straight to his family jewel. I try to withdraw my hand but he keep holding it tight. My right foot is at the verge of kicking when-...

Someone snatched my hand away from that upperclassman earlier. I know that I should thank him but I'm irritated. I could protect myself, I don't want to drag anybody just to save me, I don't want that to happen again.

"I don't need you to save me!" I shouted at him. He just ignored me and walked away.


"That guy has looks but he's scary! I'm surprised that Sakura-san just snapped at him like that! No wonder he's pissed off."

"He doesn't talk a lot. I'm amazed by Sakura-san's guts!", their voice echoing the hallway.

My arm was grabbed by a person, I looked up to saw him, that guy who saved me earlier. Is he mad? I closed my eyes waiting for him to do something bad at me.

One..

Two..

Three..

Four..

Five..

Six..

Sev-..

...

"Your knee is bleeding." ,my feet buried at the ground. My move is frozen.

He carried me like a bride and I tried to stop him.

"Infirmary." , that was his only answer.

"Just leave me alone!", I tried to push him but failed miserably.

I took a glance at is face, it matches his cold voice and cold demeanor but why is he worried about me?

I'm being harsh to him but why is he still nice at me?

School hours had ended. I keep thinking of that guy.

If I fall in love again, I will just destroy him just like I what I did to 'him'.


Tomorrow came and I just realized that the guy last day is my classmates. I don't bothered by it but there is an unknown magnetic force that always lead me to end up staring at him in every free period.

A week later, I'm walking on the road from a convenient store nearby. I saw him again at a park, playing with children. So he loves children, huh.

Today, we're having a quiz in Mathematics and I forget my pen. I couldn't ask anyone because I don't want to gather their consciousness on mine. He walk passed my table while I looked away and I heard a soft 'thud'. When I looked where it came from, I saw a black pen on my table.

'Thank you.' I mouthed mentally and as if he's a mind reader, he look at my position and his vision dragged away again seconds later.

Days passed and I noticed that he's always around me but didn't want to speak any word. Today was Friday and as usual, I walk to the front gate of the school and saw him, together with his bike. He didn't utter any sound again but motioned me to ride with his bike. I don't know how to react so I just sat like a girl at the sit behind him.

At first I was scared of riding but I enjoyed it especially when I saw his lips curved upward. My arms was subconsciously snaked on his stomach, so that I wouldn't fall.

I know that I shouldn't but I keep falling for him.

He's just cold but warm on the inside, people were wrong about him.


When I was small, everyone is always nice to me and in returned, I'm being friendly to them. But there was a boy who caught my attention, he doesn't talk at everyone but keeps reading a book which is called as 'manga'. I tried to befriend him and I succeed.

Kindergarten graduation is nearing, due to my father's job we have to transfer to Okinawa.

It was just a joke, I said to everyone that I'm not returning because someone will kidnap me. I watched a fairytale last night so I imagined what if I'm a princess. And out of the blue, he, the 'manga boy' grabbed my had and we ran away, I was glad and I feel like a real princess. While walking on the streets, we didn't notice that a mini-van is on the way I thought that I was going to be hit by it but he pushed my and injured at my place.

I trembled in fear, I'm afraid.

Because of me..

Because of my selfishness..

I wake up from a dream, I had dream of him once again.


Months passed, it's almost the winter break. He doesn't changed at all, he's still nice to me even if he rarely speak. As I walk through the corridor, I saw a thing falling from above. I ran to pick that only to see a 'manga' like the one he has. Could it be that..

I looked up to find where this manga fell, all windows are closed. From the rooftop, maybe.

The 'manga boy', could it be that..

I ran almost like running for my life. I'm nervous to open the rooftop door but I want to know if that's him. And to my surprise, I saw him. That guy.

I heard a cold grunt.

Breath...

...

...

...

My legs started to become jelly. . .

..

...

...

...

It can't be!

..

..

..

Him?

..

..

Serio-senpai?

He was surprised as I am, no words were spoken between us. He glance at my hand; his 'manga', I'm going to return it.

I started to walk at his direction

"Senpai, is this yours?"

..

My hands were shaking.

It seems like forever, waiting for his answer.

"Y-..", a strong wind came.

"Huh?"

"You're classmate, Hyuuga owns it. I saw it earlier at his locker. Can you do a favor returning it to him?"

"Hyuuga, Who's that?" I muttered.

"Try asking your classmates, I'm sure they know him."

"Okay. Thanks!"

"Hyuuga, huh?"

I accidentally opened the door forcefully that it made a loud sound which I mentally apologized.

"Hyuuga-san?" I said as I raise the manga trying to find where the owner is.

He moved to stand. Him? That guy? Why?

I gulped.

"Are you the 'manga boy'?" , he made no reaction but I took it as yes. I immediately unconsciously hugged him in front of everyone. They were shocked as it would be.

I thought that it was just a coincidence but then it's not.

"Sorry for not being able to steal you away.", he said, almost like a whisper that only me can hear with a cold façade of his.

'He remembered?' I whispered to myself.

"All this time I wanted to meet you again. I'm sorry. It was all a lie you know, I just want to play. I just used you for my own amusement.", I told him the truth.

I can't..

"I'm a horrible person. I don't even remember your name after all this years. There's no part of me which worth to be treated nicely. Sorry for deceiving you. I'm sorry", and with that, I walk away, walk away from him. Walk away from everything.

I don't deserve to be loved.

Nothing about me is worth to be.

I'll just hurt him.

Even so,I want my feelings to reach him...


And guess what, are you thinking that he followed me?

If that's what you are expecting then it isn't, sorry to disappoint you.

This is life, we're not living in a fairytale where happy ever after is always the ending.

After that confrontation, he doesn't went near me again. I was always looking at him even if I know that I doesn't deserved his attention. From that day, everybody started to distance themselves from me. I feel that my guilt loosened. They gave me space, an eternal space.

Ten years from that day, I am now a 27-year old woman. Sitting on the sand under a big umbrella watching two little kids playing together with their father.

They were happy.

Like a family.

I smiled at that idea.

"Mommy! We made a sand castle, look!" , my thoughts drifted back to reality when I heard a cute voice from a brunette. I smiled.

"Daddy's really good at this!", this time a raven haired child spoke and they dragged me away from the umbrella to their said sand castle. I looked at the father of the two kids, my husband and smiled at him then he reciprocated it with a faint smile of his.

Indeed, a family will not be completed if the Mother isn't around.


I saw a manga inside my locker and a piece of sticky note at the front cover of it.

"My name is Natsume Hyuuga, not 'manga boy' and I want to reach you, can you allow me?" I smiled and put the note at my skirt's pocket.

All this time I've been searching for you, hoping my thoughts could reach you. This time for sure, I will not run together with my feelings, reaching you.


*A happy ending is always at the end*
