Shattered Dreams and Broken Hearts

Chapter 4

"Yo, you ok Kat?" Tanya asked as she looked over her friend. She was acting stranger than normal and appeared to be sad.

Kat glanced at her best friend, "Yah, I'm just tired." 'Is it that noticeable?'

Tanya knew that something was bugging her but also knew that Kat didn't want to talk about it. 'What could possible be bothering her this much?'

The two friends had known each other since they were born and could always tell when the other was angry or upset. Whether or not one admitted to being upset was something else entirely.

Kat rummaged through her lunch bag trying to find something sweet. She was eves dropping on the group of people next to her just to give an excuse for not telling her friend what was bothering her.

"So, why are you so tired?" Tanya pressed for an answer.

Kat stopped looking through the bag, "I had to see the stars. They were so beautiful last night. You know me…"

Tanya sighed knowing that her friend was still not telling her everything. 'What's up with her today? It must be something really important…'

"I gotta go to the bathroom, you coming with me?" Tanya asked while standing up and brushing off her pants.

Kat looked at her friend, glaring slightly. Tanya shrugged and began to walk off acting hurt. "Whatever," Kat muttered and followed. 'Why she needs someone to go with her is beyond me…'

They made their way through the halls being careful not to disturb the other classes that were in session.

'I hate having first period lunch. It's so annoying to have it right before PE! I wonder why we can't have one lunch period like all the other schools.' Kat pushed open the door to the bathroom and walked over to the sinks.

Tanya gagged at the smell and wanted to plug her nose but decided that it wouldn't make much difference. Instead, she opted for breathing through her mouth. This only made her want to gag more since the smell was so strong that it seemed to stick in the air and get in her mouth.  She muttered to herself and walked to a stall, checking to make sure that it was clean enough to use.

Kat let the water run in the sink before cupping her hands together and splashing water on her face. The water felt refreshing and she had hoped it would calm her nerves.

Kat hated keep the whole truth from her friend but if Tanya knew what she had been doing, then she would think Kat was crazy.

'How many people in the world are in love with fictional characters? Wait… A lot of people are… And I just so happen to be one of them…' Kat sighed at the thought.

She hated to refer to Kenshin and his friends as mere cartoons; to her they were so much more than that. (A/N: Creeping you out yet? It gets less confusing later on!)

Kat kept her eyes closed as she reached for the paper towels to dry her face. Her hand stopped moving when she felt something brush against it. Kat gave up on searching for the towels and dried her face with her sleeve. She nearly had a heart attack when she opened her eyes.

There was no longer a mirror in front of her but a huge forest where the mirror had been. She turned around to see if she was still in the bathroom and found that she was. Kat reached up with her other had and stuck it through where the mirror had been.

She paused when she felt the same brushing sensation but continued to reach forward.

'Wow!  No way is this happening! What happens if I go through?' Kat pulled one of her arms out of the mirror and used it to pull herself on to the counter. She swung her legs over the side and jumped down.

As soon as she had landed the bathroom disappeared. 'No! I forgot about Tanya!'

"Kat? Where are you?" she heard Tanya ask. Her friend's voice echoing from somewhere.

"Right here!" came the dumb reply.

The bathroom reappeared and Kat could see Tanya through the mirror. "Look at the mirror!" Kat yelled.

Tanya turned around and gasped. She was just as shocked as Kat had been. Tanya could see her friend standing smack dab in the center of a forest. Without really thinking about it, Tanya climbed over the side and hopped down next to her friend. 'Ok, that was stupid of me to do…'

The mirror once again disappeared and the two friends were left alone in the middle of a huge forest.

'Perfect…'
