Prompt 2o: Time

Time seemed to be a spiteful and hurtful bastard, pulling people around at the pace he chose, shortening the moments that truly mattered and lengthening those that needn't be there at all.

It seemed like the moments Yamato spent with Hikari were cut in half, so that they were always pulled away from each other far too soon.

And now that it was summer and Hikari was working crazy hours to earn money for the new camera equipment that she was going to need for her photography classes, Yamato was seeing even less of her.

Now that Hikari had decided on majoring in dance (and having a minor in photography) at Tokyo University, she was spending a lot of time working on her routine for auditioning for the classes she wanted to take.

Now that Takeru had gotten into Tokyo University with a basketball scholarship, Hikari was helping him to hone his skills to perfection.

Now that Daisuke had gotten into Tokyo University with a football scholarship, Hikari was making plans to help him with his academics so he could stay at the school.

Now that Taichi was turning his attention to politics and business management, Hikari was helping him out as best she could. Staying up late with him to help him memorize all the American presidents and important world leaders, and making him dinner when he complained of hunger pains.

Now that The Wolves were taking off Yamato had almost twice as many band practices to go to and several shows to prepare for over the summer.

Yamato wondered how often he and Hikari would be able to find time for each other. He wondered if the moments would always speed by when she was around and slow to a halt when she was away.

He wondered if she noticed the way time moved like he did.

Ugh. Bad job.

Okay, I know no one actually wants to know about what goes down in my life, but I'm going to share anyway. So I've been 'talking' to this guy for a couple months now, we'll call him friend A. Well, friend A seemed to like me, and his friend said he did, but he wasn't saying anything himself. I recently found out that this guy I've known forever, friend B, likes me, and since I figured friend A wasn't really into me, I started 'talking' to him. Then friend A decides to tell me that he really likes me, and I'm like, uh, yea, great timing. But after a few days I realized that friend A was the better of the two, and he is now my boyfriend. Now this is good news, without a doubt, I'm just still miserable for various reasons.

I need a break from my life.
