"Matt, this is so cool!" Mimi exclaimed, as the practice was over, and they were back to the streets. "You know, being of a band and such..."
"Yeah, I know. It's really cool having a band... Besides, when your friends are in it too, it's even better." He answered.
"Yeah! It's like we're a family!" exclaimed Carlos. "BUT the only thing that's bad in being a rock band member is..."
Then, 3 of the members did... something to their appearance. Matthew grabbed a hat, Vincent put his hair in a ponytail, and Carlos put sunglasses...
"Hey... What for?" Mimi asked.
"Oh, so then they can't be recognized by their 'fans'." Said Kate.
"Do you know that that doesn't help much?" Mimi pointed, sweatdropping.
"Nah, we know, but it's just to... help a little?" said Matthew.
"If you say so..." replied Mimi.
"Oohhhhh, it's so good being part of the band, but not having to cover myself!" said Richard.
"God bless the backstage!" the boy's girlfriends, Richard, Lily and Duo said. Mimi giggled.
"You're so funny!" she said. Then, everyone went to their own way, and Mimi stayed with Matt. The rain had stopped, and having nowhere to go, they went towards the park.
In the way, Mimi saw a boy with glasses, and blue hair.
"Hey Joe." She said cheerfully.
"Hey Mimi." He smiled, and then went away.
"Hey there." Matt said.
"H-hey." Joe said, a bit taken back.
Mimi and Matt continued their own way in silence.
"You know Joe?" Mimi asked.
"Kind of, he studies in the school as I do, and I think we have a class or two together, so why not say hi?" Matt said.
"Oh." She said, and they went silent again.
"You know, some people don't like me because I talk to the 'ones like Joe'." Mimi said when they were already in the park, and Matt looked at her puzzled. "You know, the 'geeks' or 'nerds' or however those freaks call them. They judge they are superior to people like Joe, so they ignore them, or even humiliate them sometimes."
"People of our school? What a bunch of idiots." Matt exclaimed.
"Yeah... There's this particular girl named Nikki..."
"With long blond hair, and silvery eyes?" Matt asked, and Mimi looked at him surprised. Then she nodded.
"She is the 'most famous girl in school', and people love her as a goddess. What she does and say, people agree, and do the same. She thinks she is actually a goddess, and treat Joe and his friends like they are some kind of vermin. She hates me, and because of that, everybody hates me."
"I don't hate you." Matt said. She looked at him, and smiled. Then, she saw someone coming to them.
"Speaking of the demon..." Mimi whispered. Matt looked around, and saw a girl with long blond hair, silvery eyes, and a big grin. Matt sighed...
"Not again..." he said, and Mimi glared at him.
Again... Has that freak been bugging Matt since he entered the school?
"Yama-kun!!!" Nikki exclaimed.
Yama-kun?! Who does she think she is calling Matt by YAMA-KUN?
Well, you know you can't say much either. He's nothing yours. Said the second voice in Mimi's head.
Well, I'm his FRIEND. That's enough.
"Hey there Nikki." Matt answered, nothing pleased.
"And what are you doing with this loser?" she asked, looking at Mimi disgusted.
"She's my... friend." Matt answered. Mimi was just waiting to see Nikki's reaction.
"Friend? Oh Yama-kun, dear. You know, there are people in that school that you're not worth to meet... I don't even know how you met her but... If you want, I can help you finding worth friends." Nikki said, looking at Mimi like she was nothing.
"If you mean the ones like you, NO thanks." Matt said coldly, and Nikki was totally taken back by his answer.
"I'm so SORRY for you, Nikki. Now, why don't you go away?" Mimi said, and Nikki stormed off. But before, she whispered to Mimi:
"I always get what I want, Tachikawa. And if I want Ishida, be sure he'll be mine."
They ignored totally the meeting with Nikki, and continued to the park. When they finally got there, they sat on the bench, whipping some of the rainwater off. Standing there, after so much time... It immediately made them remember that night. Both blushed.
"Uh... Matt..."
He looked at her.
"You know... that day..."
"That day?" he asked and she nodded.
"You have... any... idea... why..."
"Why we kissed?" he finished, and Mimi just looked at her feet. "Not at all..."
"Me neither... But it just felt..."
"Natural." They said at the same time. And looked at each other.
"Matt you..."
"Mimi... You know... After that day..." Matt said before Mimi could end her own phrase.
"That day?" she asked, blushing slightly. He nodded.
"I've been thinking on... writing a song." He said blushing.
"A song? For that day?" she asked a bit dumbly.
"Yeah... And.... could you... help me?" he asked, but added quickly. "Oh sorry... I barely know you and start asking something like that... It's so stu-"
"Yes."
"What?" he exclaimed.
"I'll... help you. So maybe we... can... understand..." she said in a whisper. Matt nodded.
"Well... I guess... we have to go now." Matt said.
"Yeah... I'll see you... soon?" Mimi said, and he nodded. He kissed her in the cheek, and walked off.
Nothing compared with that day's kiss but... Well...
You're just way too happy, girl. I can feel you wanna jump up and down. Said the second voice.
Oh, I sure do! I can't wait to meet him again...
~*~
You just left her... and want to be again with her already, Ishida? Matt asked himself.
Well... I guess I just can't help. She makes me feel comfortable... Makes me feel good.
You are believing in Fairy Tales, now? She's your princess? Pathetic.
No. Not princess. Angel.
"My Angel of the Rain." He whispered to himself.
