CHAPTER THREE: The HEDGEHOG'S DILEMMA
N/A: I've been re-reading this story and man it's needs rewriting badly, so… I'm gonna make this a sorta draft copy for another future NG Evangelion ficcy. This stuff, just doesn't flow… So what you see here is what I'm gonna be using as a baseline for a new one. So reviews seen more important now. I NEED REVIEWS MINNA! Neways, nvm just read the friggin story..
Rei ran outside and collapsed under a tree starting to weep. Even though the divorce happened over a year ago the thought still haunted her. She was used to thinking back to the moment but never before was it this strong. She stayed there trying to calm herself down but it didn't help. She didn't even notice the first recess bell ring. She sat there until a shadow loomed over her.
"Um, Rei are you okay?"
Rei glanced upwards and gasped seeing that it was none other than Shinji Ikari. She buried her face in her hands hoping that he would just go away. It was embarrassing him finding her like this.
Shinji continued trying to get her to talk to him, "You know everyone's worried about you. Akagi was so shocked that her best student reacted like that. She didn't even give out any homework. Weird huh?"
Rei started to blush. She wasn't used to attracting any attention. She hated it when people whispered behind her back. It had such an unpleasant feeling.
There was a silence between the two. Shinji started to feel uncomfortable until a familiar shout broke the quiet situation.
"Yoo-hoo! Shinji where've you been?" demanded Asuka, "I've been looking for you. So have your other friends. What! Why's Ayanami there?"
"Oh well I've been trying to see what's wrong with her. That's all," shrugged Shinji.
"Hey Ayanami, I know why depressed!" snickered Asuka, "You're just jealous that you'll never be able to beat me in a test!"
Rei just ignored her continuing to mope. Asuka frustrated snapped, "Hey Ayanami I'm talking to you!"
"I'm not jealous," replied Rei in a quiet voice. Why couldn't they just leave her alone? Alone was the way Rei liked being, no one to disturb your thoughts. No one to embarrass you.
"Ayanami you're just someone's play toy!" barked Asuka, "You're just an emotionless, non-thinking doll who'll do anything tells you to. I hate you dolls! You think you're just better than everyone else so don't talk to any of us! Get over it you moron!"
"I'm not a doll," countered Rei, "I shall be no one's play toy."
"Asuka, don't be so mean," Shinji defended, "Rei's not like that. Come on let's leave her be for awhile. You know sometimes people like being alone for times like these."
"Urgh she's always alone you fool! Come on let's go Shinji. Wonder Girl's too special for us little people to talk to," bellowed Asuka.
Rei just sat there still and silent watching them as they left. She hated Asuka. She was trouble ever since she transferred here. Rei wished she could just go back to whatever mad country she came from. Everyone liked her, Rei couldn't imagine why. Asuka was the most popular girl in the school. She was the one who thought she was too special in Rei's opinion. But Shinji still liked her…
"WHY AM I ALWAYS THE ONE WITH THESE TROUBLES!" Rei cried out in agony. A nearby group of girls laughed at her. Rei became even more frustrated and punched the tree hurting her fist. It started to bleed but that didn't matter. It didn't bleed as badly as her heart. She stayed there the end of recess.
