Life is not easy... It isn't meant to be. How would that build character, forge a soul? No people were meant to claw, and fight, and kick. They are meant to make noise, to think for themselves. Become who they want to be...
She watched the bits of falling snow drift gently around the wind. Standing as still as stone just... watching. Her warm breath creating a mist into the air. Lost in her own thoughts. Her hair, blonde, short, almost white as the snow she gazed blankly at. Her skin, just as pale and unblemished as a fresh snow fall. In bright contrast to the purple eyes that sat in the middle of her null-void face. They were deep purple. A result of a genetic mutation deemed Alexandria Genesis. It made her beautiful. She hated it. So she hid herself in guy's clothes, to escape the standards. To fool the world. For the cruel names; Freak, Tomboy, Weirdo. They meant nothing to her, so long as she wasn't called beautiful... There were to many standards in the simple word. To many expectations.
She had a new friend though. A friend that understood. That liked her for her personality, the things that made her, not the things that could be seen. She turned her gaze the friend beside her. Her friend's life was no where near easy, but they were happy none the same. Just like she was. Brown messy hair, having just been cut from a bubblegum incident and was as wild as her own. Deep chocolate eyes lost in thoughts much like her own were. They looked lost in deep meaningful thought, but she new better. It was probably something small, like shopping or a the weather.
"Hey... Haruhi?"
"Yes Naz?"
"If we don't get back soon... Your dad is going to worry again."
"Yeah, let's go."
They headed of side by side with groceries in each hand. One pale boyish slightly taller white blonde ruffian next to the smaller, slightly boyish sweet faced brunette. Side by side, equals in understanding of eachother's own worlds.
"Hey Haruhi...?"
A sound of acknowledgement sounded between them.
"I know I said thank you already... But really thanks.. For you and your dad allowing me to stay while I am on exchange to Ouran with you guys... It makes it alot easier that I came over during the break and everything. I owe you guys so much for all this... So when we graduate and everything.. If you ever come over to my homeland... Stay with me okay?"
"... Really Naz, it is no trouble. Don't get all mushy on me."
And so they went back to laughing and speaking as they had come to do normally in the winter break together. It would soon be early spring and off to Ouran for them both. A very new and scary experience for them both. Well mainly Naz, she liked new schools, it meant new beginnings. But it meant new judgements as well... But since she already had a friend, she could take on the world.
