Independence Day
I, Dan Kuso, was walking through the park one day when I spotted my best friend/crush Runo Misaki sitting on the edge of the river. I was that it was weird that she was not with her boyfriend Mike. It was right then I noticed that her shoulders was shaking as she cried her eyes out while her bakugan tried to comfort her.
"What's wrong, Runo?" I asked while coming to where she was slowly. "Why are you not with Mike, Runo?" I sat down next to her and pull her into a warm embrace because she it was real chilly out there.
"Mike has been cheating on me, Dan." Runo said while crying really hard. "He called me a whore, ugly, and a bitch, Dan."
I could not believe that someone could be so cruel to Runo. I know that Runo had a temper on her, but this was dead wrong.
"Runo, come on lets go to my house so you can get warm." I told her.
"No, Mike will hurt me if I do, Dan. He has not really broke up with me, Dan." Runo said to me.
Then, Mike (the jerk) decided to show his face around us.
"There, you are, Runo. I have been searching for you everywhere." Mike told her while raising his hand to strike her. I decided to step in to help Runo out.
"You will not lay a hand on Runo anymore, Mike. Now leave." I told him. Mike tried to strike me, but Runo let out a shout so I turned and caught his hand. Mike finally decided that Runo was not worth his life.
I told Runo to come on to my house because she was freezing cold. I started to make her some hot chocolate to warm her up.
"Are you feeling better now, Runo?" I asked her.
"I feel a lot better now, Dan. I just hope Mike does keep his distance from me, Dan. Could I stay here tonight, Dan?" Runo said to me and I told her call her parents for permission. I went upstairs to unmake my bed so she could get some sleep. Once I had that done and she got permission. We both went straight to bed and slept soundly that night.
The next few weeks went by quickly for both of us. Mike stayed away from Runo, but that could have been she was never alone. I stayed by her side as much as I could. I revealed my feelings to her and found that she felt the same way about me.
