Angel meets Devil
Chapter 1: The angel
"Rinny! Wait up!"
Rinoa turned around. She saw her best friend running after her. Rinoa smiled as she approached.
"Hey Selph. What's up?" Rinoa asked.
"Nothing. You want to come to my house for dinner?"
"Sure! Your mom cooking?"
"Of course! You know her. She always wants to cook."
"Good. She's an awesome cook."
Selphie smiled. Then her and Rinoa headed for Selphie's house. On their way, they saw a young man on the sidewalk sitting up against a wall. He seemed sick, tired, and hungry. He was dressed in leather pants, a white tee-shirt, and a jacket with fur around the collar. His skin was dark, or so it seemed. It could have been dirt and mud. His hair was black, again, it could just be dirt and mud. Selphie felt sorry for this man. He looked young. Maybe around her age.
"Rinny, look," Selphie said pointing to the man.
"what about him?"
"He looks hurt….or sick. We should help him."
"Selph, you can't help everyone on the street. You don't even know him. What if he tries to rape you or something?"
"But-"
"No buts. Lets go!"
Rinoa grabbed Selphie's arm and pulled her to Selphie's house. When they got there they dropped their stuff off in Selphie's room and sat on the bed. Selphie turn on the t.v. Rurouni Kenshin was on. It's one of Selphie's favorite animes so they watched it. It was the episode where Sano was introduced.
"so, how much homework do you have?" Rinoa asked Selphie.
"none."
"that's cool………so who are you going to the dance with?"
"I don't think I'm going," Selphie said as she picked at a scab she got from playing softball.
"why not? I'm going with Tommy."
"That's 'cause he's your boyfriend."
"you could have a boyfriend. I always see guys asking you out everyday."
"yeah, but I don't want one."
"why?" Rinoa asked raising a eyebrow.
"because. Guys are so hard to trust."
"that's true. They are, but, some of them you can trust. That's why you need to date guys. If you don't like the guy, then you dump him. Then you wait for another guy to ask you out."
"oh. Ok. I'll try."
"good. You should go out with Tohru. He's been wanting to date you for the longest time."
"I really don't like him though."
"well find someone."
" I will…do you want to stay the night? My mom could wash your uniform and you could take a shower."
"sure. Just let me call my mom."
