15. Mistake

She shouldn't have come.
She didn't know what she was expecting. She didn't even know why she'd gone looking for him at midnight. What was she expecting? Of course he'd be with another girl, sharing what she only dreamed they would share. She was a fool for thinking that he might… that he'd even…
She brushed the tears away from her eyes, feeling like she an idiot. He'd never given any indication that he liked her. The kiss on Christmas was forced, while the gift had been out of respect for the invitation to dinner. Why would he have feelings for a 14 year old? She'd been so stupid for letting her imagination get away from her. She shouldn't have thought it was anything more then what it had been for the past 4 months. It was him, being nothing more then an older brother.
She'd run out the door, finding herself in the observatory behind the atrium. She would hide her until the night was over, and hopefully, he hadn't seen her approaching him after midnight. Then she wouldn't have to be embarrassed every time she saw him.
Damn everything. Damn her role as Sailor Moon. Damn her parents for letting her think that the night would be magical. Damn her stupid pride, for running instead of confronting him. But what would she confront? What could she say? It was better left unsaid. They could go on being who they'd always been.
She would have walked home, but a crashing sound coming from the atrium triggered the usual feeling that she was needed.
Damn that, too.
