The Pain of Rejection
by Cat Girl
Queen of Taiora
Isn't she lovley this Holly Wood Girl
and they say
She's so lucky
She's a star
but she cry cry cries
in her lonley heart thinking
if theres nothing missing in my life
then why do these tears come at night?
I know why they come.' Mimi
wrote in her journal 'I cry each evening as I fall asleep, some days when I see him I just wish he would run to me
and pick me up and comfort me in his strong arms. Each night I wish that I were
in his arms. I've always had everything
I could ever dream of in life, great parents, friends, material things, but
what I really want is for Joe Kido to come up to me and say that he loves me, I
know he does, or I'm pretty sure he does. This is to confuseing for words, and
to put even more pressure on me Matt has asked me to the Spring Dance at our
school in a couple days. What do I say? I do want to go, but i want to go with
Joe not Matt. Matt is nice, charming, and totally hot, but so is Joe. Maybe I
should tell Joe how I feel, and he might be more open with me. Joe has never
been very open with me, he was at one
time when we were together in the digital world, I felt so close to him, but
when he left it was like my heart was breaking I really wanted to go with him
Id gotten so used to him being close to me that I didn't want to let him go, I
should have told him then how I felt then.'
Mimi closed her journal and
turned her attention back to her english assingment that was due in fifteen
minutes.
"Write a
short paragraph decribing your favorite chore" she said to herself
"My english teacher has no imagination what so ever if she is resorting to
a topic as lame as this"
"Hey
Mimi" Sora said sitting next to her
"Oh hey
Sora. Does picking out color patterns count as a chore?"
"Only of
you're a painter"
"So should
I write about that?"
"I'd go
with something a bit more domestic, like setting the table or something. Any
way I see you also are useing your lunch period to finish your homework."
"but I
thought you finish this"
"I did, but
I was talking about Tai, he's writeing about the difficulty of cleaning soccer
cleats, I didn't want to bother him so I figured I'd comeover here and talk to
you."
"Oh ok, how
do you set the table ?"
"Mimi,
donjt tell me that you hve never set a table.''
"Well once,
but our old butler helped me."
"Well just
remeber as much as you can, besides you know how Ms. Phillips is, she give you
an A as long as you compleate it"
"Ever so
true, any way so how are you and Tai?"
"Were fine,
he took me to Starbucks last night and we had a good time. So have you talked
to Joe yet?"
"No, I hate
my self."
"Mimi,
don't hate yourself, don't worry I'm sure he likes you and one day very soon he
will tell you."
"I hope so,
Matt wants an answer about the dance soon, and I don't know what to say."
"Mimi, I
know I said that Joe will tell you soon, but maybe if he won't tell you, its
time for you to move on"
"Are you
suggesting that I go to the dance with Matt?"
"All I'm
saying is that Joe is nice, but if he isn't willing to be open woth you, you
shouldn't be the victim of heart break."
"You have a
point, maybe I should move on."
"Just do
whats best for you Mimi. I have to get to class early, I promised Ms. Phillips
that I would run some errands for her."
"Ok
bye."
"Bye"
Mimi opened her
journal and looked over what she had written.
"It maybe
painful, but the best thing I can do for myself."
Across town in the High School
for Medicle Science, Joe sat in his desk focusing on a work sheet filled with
chemical symbols, and their atomic weights. Sure studying this would gethim a
great future, but something other than magnesium and phosfourus. See Joe has
always loved Mimi, but he's just been to scared to tell her.
"Ok, "
he thought "I need to tell her, but what if she dosent feel the same way,
what if what if what if, I need to stop and foucus. I love her, and I owe it to
her to tell her how I feel. They are haveing a dance this friday, I'll surprise
her at her apartment Friday evening and I'll tell her how I feel."
"Mr. Kido,
please turn your attention back to your assingment." the teacher said
rather strictly.
"Yes
sir." Joe replied
Still his mind
drifted back to the girl with pink hair.
"Thats what
I will have to do." He said to himself
Later that evening Mimi sat on
her queen sized bed, in her pjamas, watching tv and giveing her toe nails a
pedicure, when her phone rang.
"Hello
?" she said picking up
"Hi Mimi,
its Matt"
"oh
hi."
''Look I just
wanted to ask you again if you wanted to come with me on Friday, you that our
band is playing that night."
"Yeah I
know."
"So do you
want to be my date?"
Mimi thought for
a second
"Sure, I'd
love to."
"Great,
I'll pick you up around 6:30 ok."
"Ok."
"Bye."
"Bye"
Mimi hung up the
phone and sighed. Before she knew it, she picked up the phone once more and
dialed Sora's number.
"Hello"
the other line said
"Hi this is
Mimi, is Sora there ?''
"Yes, hold
on a second"
Mimi waited
about 30 seconds before the phone picked up again
"Hello"
"Hey Sora
its me"
"Hi
Mimi"
"Matt
called."
"About the
dance?"
"Yeah I
told him I'd go with him."
"OK, I
really don't know how to respond except, as long as its best for you."
"I just
knew that I love Joe, but I'm not gonna keep playing the damsel in distress and
wait for him to come. I just need to do this."
"Well good
for you Mimi. I'm proud that you're doing this."
"Thanks,
anyway I'd better go my finger nails look pastey."
"Ok,
bye."
Mimi hung up the
phone, and turned her attention back to her nails.
Friday afternoon came, and Joe
was at his lunch period. Joe was looking over a study manual while at the same
time snacking on gummi bears. A few tables away some hot shot dude flicked a
spoonful apple sauce towards Joe, but Joe was used to haveing food hurled at
him, and saw it comeing out of the corner of his eye. Joe picked up his manual,
and put it infront of his face just before the ball of apple sauce was about to
hit him.
"Impressive."
the boy beside him said
"Thanks."
"Your
welcome, so do you have anything planned this weekend ?"
"That
depends on what happens tonight."
"Oh with
that Mimi chick you talk endlessly about."
"Uh
yeah."
"Well I
hope it goes well."
"Me too.
God I'm so nervous"
"Just try
to keep your cool, don't be nervous wreck"
"Oh big
help, I'm always a nervous wreck." Joe said close to screaming
"Yes you
are, and thats why you need a girl in your life."
"Yeah but
girls make me nervous."
"Everything
makes you nervous, even food."
"It does
not."
Some guy shoots
another spoonful of applesauce at Joe. Joe screams like a girl and ducks under
the table.
"I rest my
case"
"I couln't
help that, but I'm not nervous over something as stupid as food."
"Name
something besidesfood that you do not freak out over."
"Ha thats
easy, um um um um um um, animals, no wait I'm allergic to most of them, at
least the ones with hair. Flowers, no allergic to them to. I don't know."
"Excacly my
point you freak out over everything, therefore you need a girl, but you freak
out over girls, so your hopeless."
"Thanks
your real supportive."
"Don't
mention it."
"Don't
worry."
Joe eventually
calmed down to the point where he could get through the day, but therewere
still a lot of factors on his mind. Like, what if she had a date, or what if
she had never planned on going in the first place. A whole bunch of what ifs
were running through his mind, but in the end Joe slapped himself and finished
the school day.
Mimi took one last look in her
mirrior, then grabbed her purse and waited in the liveing room for Matt to arrive.
"So honey,
who are you waiting for?" Mrs. Tachikawa asked
"My date to
the dance.''
"Oh is it
that Joe Kido, who you always talk about?''
"No, Matt
Ishida is takeing me."
"Oh thats
nice, have a good time."
"Ok,
thanks,"
Mimi sat on the
couch and watched the Drew Carey show, till the dooorbell rang.
"Hi Mimi,
you ready?" Matt asked
"Yeah lets
get going." she said stepping out of the doorway.
Once they were
in the parking lot Matt spoke up.
"Mimi can I
tell you something?"
"Sure, I
guess."
"I really
like you a lot, and I really want us to be more than friends. Mimi will you
please be my girlfriend"
Mimi looked at
him bewildered.
"Matt I
don't really know what to say."
"Just say
yes."
Mimi thought for
a minute, "I'm sorry Joe." she said in her mind
"Ok, I'd
love to be your girlfriend." she said with a smile
Matt looked at
her and smiled, then pulled her into a rather deep kiss that Mimi did not
expect, but since she had decided to go with Matt she kissed him right back.
At that moment same, Joe walked
right around the corner just in time to see the couple's first kiss.
"No, it
can't be." he said to himself
Mimi opened her
eyes for a breif moment just to see Joe out of the corner of her eye. Joe was
still in shock and turned and ran into the park nearby. Mimi saw him run and imeditly pushed Matt
away and ran after Joe. Joe ran as fast
as he could , before he had an azsma attack. Joe laened agaist a tree and
caught his breath. He looked down at the flowers in his hand. His feelings of
shock turned into feelings of anger, he tore the petals off the flowers and
threw them in every direction, his hands ran across the thorny stems, and most
of his hand was scraped. Before he knew it, Joe was beating himself against a
tree. The pain suddleny became to much and he sat down against the tree and
began to cry.
Mimi follwed Joe as far as she
could, he had run away very fast and if she hadn't have seen his foot prints in
the fresh mud, she might have never found him.
"Joe, Joe.
Please come out Joe." Mimi called
Mimi didn't have
to walk much farther before she found Joe sobbing agaist a tree.
"Joe whats
wrong?" she asked bending down to him
"I...I..,
how would you know." he gasped out "I've been in love with this
fantastic girl for years, but when I finally get the confidence to tell her how
I feel she's with another guy."
"Joe, the
reason I was kissing Matt was because I have been in love with a guy that I
have known for a very long time. I've always waited for him to tell me how hes
felt, but I got so fed up waiting I decided to move on with my life." she
said
"I'm
sorry" he replied
"I'm sorry
too." she said
"Look Mimi,
I just want you to know that if you want to be with Matt, I wont stand in your
way."
"Joe, I
thought that if I was with Matt that I could finally forget about you, but I
don't want to Joe. I don't want to be with Matt, I want to be with you."
"Me
too." he said
Mimi's eyes
filled with tears, but she was glad when Joe kissed them away. Soon their lips met in a passionate kiss
Mimi, Mimi.
There you are why did you run away?" Matt asked comeing up to them
"I'm sorry
Matt, but I don't think I can go out with you." she said
"What. Why
not?" he asked
"Because I
found the person who I really need, Joe."
Matt looked
speechless, but straightened up his figure and said
"Fine, I
hope you two are happy together."
he turned around
and walked away broken hearted (Sorry Matt lovers)\
Joe and Mimi,
then stood up and walked hand in hand together in the opposite direction. Mimi
felt sorry for Matt, but she didn't let that change how she felt about Joe. She
had fallen in love with him, and for Joe this had almost become a nightmere,
but it turned out to be a dream come true.
