I got angry letters from Ellen, Priscilla, Mint, and Amber. All of them
where mad because I "stole" there boyfriends. I wrote them letters saying
that I did no such thing and that he helped me so I bought him a drink.
I went to the church first. To pray and to confess. I needed to tell someone how I felt. When I went in there was someone speaking with the father so I went in and waited. To my surprise, it was Niko confessing. I didn't mean to overhear but I did.
".. I can't help it. I think I love Yuki. she so kind and pretty. I don't think I have the guts to tell her, and I can't get someone to ask her if she likes me because that would be devising her. But I do wish to know."
"Well, my son. You should tell her and pray that she sharing or feeling. Go now, write her a letter, telling her how you feel, if you cannot tell her face to face."
Niko must have left different way for I did not see him leave. My face red from blushing, I went to tell the father, what I had on my mind.
I was walking home from the church when I was stopped by Priscilla. "Tonight, the fireworks display is on. Are you going to watch them?"
I thought about it. "I think I'll go down to the beach to watch them."
Priscilla's face fell when I said this. "Well I'd watch them with you if I didn't have to stay with my parents. Maybe I can come next year?"
"Well if you'd like, Priscilla, I'll come and watch with you, but if you don't want me to then I'd like to have company."
"Go to the beach. It'll be way too crowded at the square. I'll go to the beach next year. I'll 19. Yuki, how old are you?"
"I'll be 18 on the 13th. Aren't all of you the same age?"
"Yes. Well I have to go. It was nice talking with you." With that Priscilla went back in the library.
I waved and went home. I finished all the work for the day. I noticed that it was getting late so I headed for the beach.
When I was sitting on the cold wet sand I couldn't help but wonder where Niko was watching the fireworks. Most likely he was watching them with Mint or one of the other girls.
When the fireworks where about to start I herd a voice by my ear. "Can I sit here?" It was Niko.
I almost fell over when he asked me this. "Of course you can." I was beet red. He sat down beside me and the show began. The bust of color and light were beautiful. "Wow." He said his voice low. "They're so. spectacular."
I turned to look at him, only to find that he was looking at the fireworks, but at me. When the fireworks ended he helped me up off the sand.
"I'll walk you home" he said "You never know, something could happen.." His tone was playful when he said this.
"Well.. Um.. If you want I have sparkles and we could, maybe, light them?"
"Sparklers? I love those things. There so much fun. If you have sparklers then that gives me even more of a reason to walk you home."
We left the beach and he once again walked me home, only this time I could feel him reach for my hand. We walked in silence, hand in hand. He walked me right up to my door. I opened the door and turned to thank him. Before I could thank him he kissed me. I could feel his lips leave mine. He looked at me and he ran. I stared after him for a long time, then I went inside to think things over.
