'Thanks for walking me home, Arima that was really sweet of you.' Megami
thanked him. He smiled at her.
'No problem,' Arima suddenly leaned in and kissed Megami on the lips.
The door to the apartment suddenly swung open and Darien and Serena were standing at the door. They were shocked to see Megami and some boy kissing. Arima pulled out quickly.
'Darien!' Megami called out surprised, and embarrassed.
'I better get going now, I'll see you later Megami.' Arima quickly left after that.
'Oh, Megami, who was that?' Serena teased her.
'Serena was just leaving,' Darien butted in and gave Serena a little push signaling that it was time for her to leave. She left.
Megami tried to get past Darien and into her room without having to talk or look at him, but he quickly blocked her way.
'Who was that?' Darien asked Megami.
'No one,' Megami tried to avoid his eyes.
'Who was it?' Darien persisted again.
'A senior,' Megami let it slip out. Darien sighed.
'He's too old for you.' Darien told his little sister.
Megami glared up at him angrily. 'Look who's talking, Mister I'm- dating-a-ninth-grader!' Megami shot back.
'I'm just trying to protect you, I don't want you to get hurt.' Darien retorted.
'If you don't want to hurt me, then --- then........ Just leave me alone!' Megami blurted out angrily, pushing Darien aside and running to her room. Megami closed and locked the door behind her, collapsing in total despair onto her bed. She started to cry, something totally new to her.
Darien could hear Megami crying, he walked up to her door, raising his hand to knock on it, but put it down, her words ringing in his ears. He didn't know what to do in a situation like that, he had dealt with Serena crying, but not a little sister, and he barely knew her too. That made things even harder to figure out.
Megami pulled out the journal she had kept ever since she had moved to Tokyo. Everyday she wrote down exactly what happened. Megami liked Arima, but not the way that he liked her.
The next day, Megami woke up to find that Darien had already left for work. He had left a little note on the refrigerator. All it said was "Gone to work".
Megami felt relieved, she didn't have to face Darien until that night, when he came home.
Megami got ready for school and left, but as she was walking out of the apartment building, Arima was waiting for her. He approached her.
'Oh, it's you............' Megami wasn't very happy to see anyone, especially Arima.
'I'm really sorry about yesterday; it wasn't really gentleman-like. I hope -- we can be friends?' Arima apologized.
'I suppose, it wouldn't hurt, right?' Megami felt pretty sorry for Arima, she had just assumed who he was, and never really knew who he was. The both smiled and walked to school together.
~~~~A few months later~~~~
Arima and Megami had become best friends. They did everything together and always spent as much time as possible together. People thought that they were the strangest pair in the whole school.
Arima was the most popular boy in the school, not to mention a senior. Girls hung off of him whenever they could. He was also the smartest senior boy, and the most handsome to boot. Arima was a very nice gentleman; he always helped girls, of any age. That is what drew him to Megami.
Megami wasn't the most popular girl, by far. She was only in Junior high; she was three years younger than Arima. People always thought they were walking all over Megami, but in fact, they weren't. Megami didn't always seem very lady-like; she sometimes acted and seemed very tomboyish, especially because of the way her hair was cut.
Over the months, Megami thought that the relationship between her and her brother would have gotten better, but infact, it had gotten worse. Darien still treated her nicely, but often treated her like a young child or a toddler.
Megami knew a lot about Darien and his friends, no one thought that Megami paid that much attention to what people where telling her, but she did. On the other hand, Darien and his friends knew almost nothing about Megami; they didn't know what month she was born, her favorite color, or anything.
Megami was always being disappointed with things. Darien had been making a lot of promises to Megami, like to help her with school projects, go to the movies with her, pick her up after school, and other things, but, so far, Darien hadn't kept one promise to Megami.
Darien always said that something important had come up, like something was more important than picking up your little sister after school. Megami didn't really mind if Darien said he had been called in for work or something, but what really bugged her was when he said that he had forgotten, or that he had made a date with Serena, or had to help Serena or he friends.
It confused Megami, why did her brother say that he wanted to get closer to her and know her better, when he didn't even try?
'Megami, I'm really sorry I haven't been there for you a lot lately,' Darien started; he had come into Megami's room after school to talk with her.
