The Rose Bud
I still remember how all this started out, it was there on the bench in the girls changing room, the smallest red rose bud i've ever seen. It was in a small glass vase with an intriquite design in the glass. Attached the the vase, there was a note that had my name on it in perfect cursive writing. I at first thought of it as a prank one of the other girls were playing on me because let's face it, I definately was not the most popular girl in my high school. When I picked up the note and read what it said I was utterly shocked and any thought of perpetual darkness left my mind for if only a short moment.
"Dear my beloved (name),
I am truly sure that you are the one girl for me.
You are not shallow like the others,
and I know that not only is personality beautiful,
but your outward appearance is also.
This rose bud is a symbol of my feelings for you.
As the rose grows so do my feelings.
But unlike the rose my love will never die.
Please meet me at the bridge tonight, at sunset.
I will be waiting.
With love, Ninomiya Kazunari"
I kept reading and rereading the note, afraid to blink thinking it might disappear if I do. Ninomiya Kazunari? Isn't he that new foreign exchange student from Japan? Well if I do meet him tonight then I sincerely hope that he can speak english. I went through the rest of my classes as if on fast foward. It was now getting close to sunset and I was still debating on whether or not I should go. At the last second I finally decided to go. At that point I didn't care if I was being scammed or not. When I got there he was already waiting for me on the bridge. At least I think he was waiting for me. I ran up to him as fast as I could mainly because I was already at least 10 minutes late and also because this might not be a scam after all. When I finally reached him, he looked at me with such sentimental eyes that my heart could have melted right there on the spot. "I....I'm sorry I'm late! I didn't know if this note was for real or not! I'm so ...." "It's ok (name), I don't mind. I was beginning to think you didn't get my note." I finally heard his voice his angelic, beautiful voice. I was so captivated on his voice that I failed to notice that he had stopped talked and was expecting an answer. "I... I'm sorry...Ninomiya-san.." At least I knew something about Japanese culture. "Please call me Kazunari." "Um.... o...ok..... Kazunari. Are all those things you said in the note true?" "Yes of course. I meant everything I said. If you don't mind (name) can I be your boyfriend?" This is the line that I thought I would never hear in a million years. So of course it's only right to be taken aback. "W...Why?" "What do you mean 'Why?' I thought that would be obvious. It's because I think I've truly fallen in love with you. So what do you say?" "Um... yeah sure why not?" At this point I didn't care if he was the ugliest guy on earth, which is the total opposite, I was finally going to have a boyfriend! I didn't realize at this point but that rose bud not only symbolized his growing love for me but also my growing love for him.
