Prom Nightmare 5
----------------------
A few moments after Usagi recovered her composure...
"I'm really sorry Haruka san", she looked at me with a very ashamed expression
"Its nothing really, if you'd excuse me, I'm going out to clean up." I turned my back against them and made big strides towards the exit. I could no longer face them. Michiru was casting a look on me that I cannot decipher.
*-*-*-*
"Wait" Michiru called out as she followed the blonde-haired woman who was heading towards the exit. But she didn't hear her, nor she could she catch up her.
*-*-*-*
I made my way to my car immediately. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. If I would stay here a minute longer, I'd die. The wind felt good as it brushed some of my hairs. Nevertheless, it did not comfort me. I felt so alone, just as I had been when my girlfriend left me, when my parents died. I should not have fallen for her and reserved myself for my only family, Hotaru. Why is this happening to me? Why?
Somehow, I managed to drive myself home.
*-*-*-* "So how did the prom go?" Hotaru asked me the next day as she prepared breakfast.
"Like a prom should." I answered back grumpily while munching on my muffin.
"What's wrong with you? I thought you would be in a better mood after you attended the prom. Seems that I was wrong, you are completely the opposite. You're much gloomier than a rain cloud"
'Who wouldn't be' I thought.
"Why don't you just tell me what happened?
"Well, I picked up Michiru from her house, and I met her mom named Setsuna, who has very long green hair. She was very pretty actually, and then Michiru came in wearing this aqua organdy dress with jade earrings and necklace. Setsuna took some pictures, and then we headed to the prom. We drank a little and danced to some of the music, then I went home. That is all.
"You're not telling me everything."
"I told you that's all!"
"You didn't even bring her home."
"Why should I?"
"Because I thought you liked her."
"It doesn't matter since she doesn't like me."
"How can you be so sure? If she didn't like you then she wouldn't have begged you to come with her to the prom."
"She doesn't like me anymore because she found out that I was a girl."
"Maybe you're just mistaken. She couldn't have..."
"One of her friends who is such a klutz tripped and spied her punch all over me. Satisfied?"
"Onee chan, just because she found out that you were a girl does not mean that she is not interested in you anymore. Maybe she was just surprised and..."
"was disgusted." I snapped.
"Im going it for a walk. Be back later." I know I sounded rude; after all, Hotaru just wants me to feel better. I just need to clear my thoughts for a while, do my daily routine, bring something good for Hotaru and make it up to her then I would be fine. With no Michiru Kaioh in my life.
*-*-*-*
"Hey honey, are you up yet?" I heard my mom knock at my door.
"Hai!"
"What's wrong?" I was thankful that my mom always sensed if there was anything wrong with me, but right now, it would not take a psychic to notice it, since my eyes were already puffed up from crying the whole night even I tried to divert my attention to something else.
"I just felt so guilty. I sensed that Haruka was female earlier but I did not let on. When Usagi accidentally tripped and exposed her, I did not know how to react. Haruka just run away and I..."
"Hush, it is not your fault, some things need to sort themselves. Why don't you try talk to her? Maybe she's just shocked by the turn of events."
"Thanks ma, you're always there for me."
"As I should be. Go out and have some fresh air, Im sure it will do you good." She smiled at me and went down to attend to her cooking. I was glad that I did not have to explain everything, unlike other mothers who want to know every nitty gritty detail. She simply understood everything.
*-*-*-* I jogged around the park, releasing all the emotions inside me with the wind. It is simply relaxing to be with my element. Here I have no worries, I can be free.
I saw a couple walking together, seems to me that they are really enjoying each other's company. They look so happy. I wish I could be too, with Michiru. 'Shut up! Don't you realize how petrified she was when you got wet? She will never like you - she is not a lesbian. The next thing you know, her mom would take her away from you too. Face reality.' All I could do was watch the birds as they fly by.
"Haruka..." who could that be I wondered and turned around.
"Michiru" the last person I expected to meet was standing right in front of me.
*-*-*-*
Author's Notes: Is it boring? Gomen, I could not think of a good transition. Anyway, since I managed to get that out somehow, the next part will turn out to be better for the two. "No review no continuation " motto is still implemented. Till next week. Sore ja! Silverfrost Friday, 01 November 2002
