Amy and Kish
I feel terrible. It's been hours since Ryou walked away from me, but I felt as if I could still see his retreating shadow amongst the trees. The first day I joined Tokyo Mew Mew, I caught Ryou's eye and he asked me out that very same day. It's been four months and I really felt like it was going somewhere, but two hours ago he ended it with me. Ryou had really high standards I suppose, I always felt overshadowed by his intelligence and good looks. I looked down at my blindingly bright red jeans, my tatty black t-shirt and my thick hoodie. Maybe it was my style. I didn't dress as girly enough. I know he had always a little soft spot for Ichigo, who wore cutesy pink dresses, which in my opinion made her look like a giant marshmallow, but what do I know? I suddenly wanted to hide my face from the world, and felt tears roll down my cheeks, as they tried to obey my wishes, trickling down my cheeks unstoppably. I was usually so good at bottling it up inside, but I could hear my echoing cries in the area as I hugged my knees to myself, making myself as small as possible. I wish I could make myself disappear. I paused my sobs, when I heard footsteps padding down the path in front of me. Too upset to feel embarrassed, I peeked out of my arms to see the alien Kish standing in front of me, his expression one of confusion. What was he doing here? I took a deep breath, as Kish approaches the bench to sit next to me.
" I see you've got clown feet again." Kish teased, gesturing towards my giant yellow converse, which just reminded me of how Ryou had rejected me for who I am. I closed my eyes, wishing to disappear so that no one could bother me.
" Not today Kish, Ryou has broken up with me." I snapped at him, looking away from him ashamed that I was crying in front of him.
" Well no wonder, emo girl." He laughed, his laughter ringing in my head repetitively. I felt even lower as I remembered the bad reactions at school, when I got a range of highlights at the salon. I bet Ryou didn't like my highlights either. I just want someone to like me for who I am. Kish wasn't helping so I jumped up from the bench, my endless tears dripping onto my t-shirt, staining the material and my heart forever. I sprinted off, but I felt my foot catch something and felt the world turn upside down, as I started to stumble over. I felt a small weight stop me from hitting the ground and as I looked up I noticed that Kish's arm was holding me protectively. He pulled me towards him and I just gave in as I started to sob into his chest. He felt so warm and comforting, as he stroked the top of my head gently. He didn't need to apologize to me. I knew he didn't mean what he said. As he shushed me gently, I felt comforted just by the sound of his voice now. How can Kish's words hurt me like a knife in the chest, but now just by shushing my heart already feels like its mending? I looked up to look at him, my tears glistening in my eyes, blurring my vision a little. Kish wiped my tears away slowly, and I looked at him properly for the first time. It always was Kish. The first time I saw him, he made me happy just by seeing his smile that always seemed to be aimed at me. When Ryou asked me out, I just wanted to feel special, but now I know who can do that for me. I never loved Ryou. I've always wanted Kish. As I realised this, Kish smiled softly at me and I felt as if he had read my mind right now. He face switched into a frown for a moment and I didn't understand why.
" Are you wearing contacts Amy?" Kish asked, studying my pupils carefully. I nod a little and start to rub my eyes, but Kish reaches out and removes my contacts with the tip of his fingers. I didn't even flinch, as I knew straightaway I could trust he wouldn't hurt me. My bright hazel colour was gone, as my natural blue shone through, and Kish didn't try to hide the surprise on his face.
" Don't ever change yourself, Amy." Kish ordered, and didn't let me protest as he left me speechless with a passionate kiss, as he stroked my hair with his hands frantically, as if he had wanted to do this for a while. When we broke apart, I felt like I was in a daze and he twirled a strand of my hair around his finger, as he smiled at me once again. Ryou walked away from my world, but now Kish had filled it up lovingly.
(Later that night)
I was still in a daze as I snuggled up under my bedcovers, ready for sleep. My phone started to play the " My Sweet Heart" melody, and I answered it quickly, as I saw my best friends name glowing on the screen.
" Hiya." I answered, my voice sounding strange. I was still in disbelief at what had happened today.
" At0msk girl! How are you? I heard about that stupid Ryou. I hope you are ok. What was it like?" She asked good naturely, obviously wanting to talk me through it and reassure me. I smiled to myself. I could only think of one phrase to describe what had happened to me today.
" Haruko, It was the best day ever." I replied happily.
