Pain

Pain. That's all I ever feel. Sometimes I wonder…can I ever get away from it?

The young girl closed her diary tears falling softly down her face. Speaking out loud she says softly, " Did I do something wrong? Why don't I feel loved?" More tears fell down her face without her knowing. Slowly she reached up and brushed away her tears. She looked out of the window at the stars twinkling down at her. "They seem so free, so far away, in a land that can't be reached." I wonder if I'll ever feel free. The girl stands up and walks down the stairs hoping that no one hears her. It's not like anyone can. I'm invisible. I always am. Suddenly someone shouts out to her, "Usagi Tuskino you're going to be late! Come down here this instant!" her mother yelled. Usagi walked out of the door and walking to her school she slams into Mamoru. She looks up and Mamoru scowls at her saying, "Watch where you're going Odango Atama!" Her eyes show her hope but then dims at his speech. Walking away from Mamoru she felt her heart breaking as many times before when he said mean things to her or calling her names. When she got to Jubban High School, Miss Haruna yelled at her for being late and gave her detention. Ami and Makoto where shaking their heads sadly at her disappointed. Slowly Usagi's heart slowly crumbled to pieces. I'm never good enough. She went through each class like a spirit lost in the shadows. At Rei's temple, Rei yelled at her for being late and Minako looked at Usagi with pity and understanding. Minako stood up as soon as the meeting was over and offered to walk Usagi home. As they walked home Minako asked, "What's wrong Usa-chan?"

Usagi answered. "Have you ever felt you were never good enough?"

Minako looked surprised, "Of course, everybody does. You must feel confident in yourself. That will get you through."

Usagi brightened at Minako's speech and as the said farewell for the night. She knew that something was about to happen. Something big.
