Len's POV
I opened my eyes. It was the first day of high school for Rin-chan and me! We were skipping up because of our past performance. We both got dressed and sat to talk before school. "This is so exciting!"
"I know right?" Rim-chan said before flashing me that hearty smile. She really knew how to be cheerful! She could lights up a rooms with those teeth of hers. I wait, she already has. "We'll be the youngest to set foot in school."
"Yeah, and we'll look awesome and stuff!" I chuckled. Something's don't change. Once a kid, always a kid. I say that to Rin-chan all the time. Especially when she's feeling childish.
"We better get going!" Rin said excitedly as we both rushed out the door, grabbing our bags, in unison. I ran down the stairs and through the gate. I normally wait for the bus, but I decided to take my bike. It began to rain on the way there. Great. I looked at the sky as it rained heavily. My slipped over a puddle in the sidewalk. I was thrown out into the middle of the soaking road.
I looked ahead to see the bus driving at full speed towards me. I let out a squeal when suddenly I heard a calm voice. "It's alright, darling..." I looked up to see a strange old woman. She carried a purple umbrella with a purple blouse and black skirt. She seemed to be in her mid-fifties. What would she be doing in the middle of a storm like this?
I pushed myself to my feet; I allowed my hair to fall into my eyes. It was no longer spikey as usual. She pushed it behind my ear. I flinched at first but soon eased myself. "No need to be frightened, child." She said in a calm and surprisingly beautiful voice. "Take this," she said as she handed me a small hand mirror.
"Why do I need this...?" I asked as she placed it into my hand. She chuckled and rubbed the sides of my shoulders.
"Make a wish, any wish, and I guarantee that by morning it will have come true." She smiled at me. I looked at her dumbfounded. I remember my mother telling me that a strange old woman gave her the mirror in my room and said the exact same thing. She even described her exactly as I see her.
"Wait, can I ask you a question-?" I looked up and she was no where to be found. All that was left was the closed umbrella on the ground that was left for him. I picked it up and carried it over me to school.
Rin's POV
"Bye, Kaito-san! Bye Miku-chan!" I yelled from the front of the gate as I ran into my house. I ran upstairs and plopped myself out in front of the mirror to see soaked Len-san.
"Len-san?" I asked as his head popped up. He seemed to be studying a purple hand mirror. "It didn't rain today; what happened?" Normally, when it rains there, it rains here as well. He touched the hand mirror and mumbled something to himself.
Len's POV
Mother was right about this mirror, maybe this hand mirror was magical too... I placed my fingertips to it and whispered silently to myself, "I wish that I could be more real to Rin-chan..."
I could feel the mirror tingle in my hand but nothing happened as the bigger mirror did. When I had made a wish on it, it happened immediately... This did not. So I tossed it to the side. Then again, the woman did say that it would happen only by morning. "Len-san?" I'm snapped out of thought by Rin-chan's voice.
"Yes?" I looked at Rin-chan's worried expression. She sighed and shook her head. It was beginning to get dark outside already. She said never mind and headed to the other side of her room where she snuggled under he blankets as did I. After the lights had gone off and the traffic outside had slowed from everyone trying to get home from work, we finally fell asleep without another word.
