"Hey slowpoke, are you coming or what?" She was running towards the hill, leaving me behind to catch up to her. She was always so eager to visit the firefly festival. I don't know why either.
"Bertie, are you an old man? Come on now!" She was waving her hand from atop of the in cherry blossoms covered hill. With the night sky above her head and her red eyes standing out even more she truly looked beautiful.
I saw her run down the other side of the hill in a hurry. Always so energetic and feisty, it made me giggle. But when I finally climbed the hill my heart sank down into my stomach.
"Derrick, it's good to see you." I held out my hand for him to shake. His blonde hair, the masculine arms, blue eyes. No wonder Kaya always liked him, he was this stereotype popular kid and he also seemed to be very kind. I had no chance.
"It's good to see you too, Roberto." Call me Bertie you ass. First you steal her now this. If it weren't for Kaya I would have snapped his neck already. "So how's college?"
Dude I finished college. "Yeah it's going well, the lectures are quite boring though." I could see Kaya trying to contain her laughter from behind his back. I never knew what was going on in her mind. One day she was making-out with this guy the other day she was making him look like an imbecile.
Well I guess the same counts for me. She's like a marionette, twitching the strings behind the scenes. Even the king Reaa….Reaa. You're a dangerous woman, Kaya Hades.
"Well…" She clapped her hands together, staring at me full of anticipation. "Shall we head down, I don't want to miss the fireworks" Of course you don't, your father organises it. You only want to go so you can see him. As we headed down the hill again, I stopped and looked around for a similair red-eyed beauty.
"Where's Evie? She didn't come?" Kaya didn't even bother to turn around, that or she didn't want me to see her face. "Yeah, she's busy with school." To be fair with you, the two have quite an age difference. Kaya is 25 right now and Evelyn "Evie" Hades is 16. She would still usually come with us though. She would take this dutch sporty guy with her, he was really kind though. He'd usually treat us at a ramen place after the festival. His family was rich apparently.
God, why did you make her so gorgeous? Why do I feel like "Friend A" In this situation? Am I of no importance to her? Is it because my name is "Roberto" and not "Reaa" or "Derrick?" Damn it all. I need to tell her. I'll tell her after the show…yeah. I have to tell her. For both our sake's.
It was all just a dream, I woke up with tears brimming in my eyes and my heart beating faster than usual. I got out and went to splash some water on my face. I was breathing a lot faster than usual. Was that real..? Am I dreaming right now..? No of course not, I mean.
Kaya Hades is dead. Derrick is dead. Reaa is dying.
I'm being left out again.
