I Only Want To Forget 2 is here!!
--------------------------------------------------------
Chihiro sighed. It was not the first time she had been summoned to the principal's office.
But of course it wasn't her that was going to be punished, it was Minako. Minako, her thirteen-year-old daughter. She was indeed beautiful, emerald green eyes and Chihiro's fluffy brown hair.
Minako entered pouting, this was all getting old to her. Principal Stanford walked behind her until she got to her seat, then sat behind his desk. The solemn look on his face told her that this was the last straw. He was grimacing at Minako in frustration. "Miss. Ogino, you realise that another offence like this could lead to Minako's expulsion. The school cannot tolerate this any longer," he said, he turned his attention to the student. "what you have to say for yourself?"
Minako, who had her arms folded, side-smiled. "damn, that was fun."
"Minako, don't be rude!" Chihiro ordered.
"swearing at teachers, vandalising school property and running away is not fun, young lady, it is a serious matter that, if you're not careful, could get you into serious trouble!" the principal said, rising from his chair.
"and who are you? My father?"
"Minako!" her mother shouted.
"Minako," said principal Stanford. "I understand the situation you are in, but that is no excuse to behave this way. You should at least be making an effort!"
"and what if I don't want to?! What if I want to leave this shitty school?!" she stood and marched to the door. But before slamming the door shut, she turned and said: "just forget my existence."
"Minako!" Chihiro called after her. "Minako, come back here!"
"Miss. Ogino, I'm afraid I'll have to suspend your daughter for at least a week."
"no! please, give her one more chance!" she begged, knowing that her daughter wont change her ways. She never really has.
Minako was a smart child but didn't think she needed to try. The school work was all too easy for her. All the teachers knew this but still pushed her, trying to find and stretch her limits. But the truth was that Minako didn't want to cause trouble really.
It was more of an attention thing; growing up with everyone around her boasting about how great their dad was or what they got for birthday presents made her jealous in a way. Chihiro's job at the diner in town didn't pay too much so she couldn't afford to buy her big and expensive gifts.
The only gift Minako wanted had nothing to do with money… she wanted fatherly love.
As Minako ran out of the school doors, she shot her eyes from left to right, wondering where she could run off to this time. The school bell went about half an hour ago so there was no-one to snitch on her, thankfully.
She staggered to wherever she could until she found a peaceful looking spot by a river that she had never noticed before. On the other side where what seemed to be apartments, pretty olds ones by the looks of it. She sat on the grass area and stared out to the horizon. She exhaled as if all of her problems could just blow away, forgotten.
"why do you do this?"
Minako gasped and turned to see Hotaka, the boy in her class that was really popular. He looked at her with green eyes – which were slightly paler than her own - his cute ginger hair stroking his face.
"what?" was all that could escape her mouth at the time.
"why do you always break the rules or cause trouble?"
she huffed and turned away from his gaze. "what's it to you? Just suddenly happen to be interested in my affairs? Besides, it's non of your business…"
Hotaka smiled weakly and sat beside her, making Minako feel edgy – which, by the way, he was fully aware of. She had never really gotten close to a boy ever before. "no, it's just… you're never normally around here."
"what are you, a paedophile?"
"no… I come here nearly everyday and frankly, this place is deserted. Now, what would someone as beautiful as you be doing in a place like this?"
"I told you, it non of your business, pervert!" she stood and clenched her fists. "I've seen the way you and your friends stare at the girls with really short skirts-"
"and why were you staring at us? Just looking in our general direction?"
Minako pouted and folded her arms. "you're a bastard, you know that?"
She attempted to leave but he grabbed her wrist, forcing her to turn back to him. "I was just kidding. Are you coming back here tomorrow?"
She freed herself, sighing. "if I'm not grounded for the rest of my life…"
He snatched her wrist again.
"what?" she whined.
Hotaka smiled. "take care."
Her eyes shot up in surprise; out of all the other people in the world, what makes this one give her the feeling of protection? She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She decided: if there's a punishment for her actions, it could never be as bad as the pain she feels inside.
Minako carried on running, eyes closed now, trying to hold back her tears. Without realising it, she was knocked to the ground. Her eyes opened again and there was a tall man, dark hair and a well toned body.
