Hikari's POV

Chapter 1- Prolouge

Are you the person in school who's always being followed and being asked out by guys? If you are, I feel for you. I'm the most popular girl in school, with all the popular (and might I say EXPENSIVE) new jewelery, with the so-last-season clothes on that automatically become popular again after a guy sees me wearing it. I mean, he could be dissing that style one minute, and the next minute all you see is everyone wearing it.

I like being popular, really, I do. But I get way too much attention. It's scary sometimes. Teachers and students hanging over me with all these requests. It's always 'Hikari, you HAVE to pick a new style cover for the yearbook!' 'Hikari, remember to type up the gossip colomn for the paper! It's being printed TOMORROW!' 'Hikari, don't be late for our date tonight!' I actually get the last one alot, even though I tell every guy that asks me out ' I'm sorry, I'm busy that night, and that night, and that night!' or ' Sorry, but your really geeky, and going out with YOU will ruin my reputation.' Hey, I said I didn't like the attention, but the reputation MUST stay.

But, then again, there are SOME guys that I like. Davis, for instance. He's really nice, and he's stopped bugging me. Sometimes he even fends off guys that are taking up my breathing space. I'm very grateful for that.

Then there's Takeru. He's sweet and kind like he's always been. He is my best friend, but sometimes the people that crowd around me are so thick that he can't get through to me. So I put a disguise on everyday after school so people don't mob me and I can walk home with Takeru in PEACE. It's very refreshing walking home with Takeru. He doesn't go all over me and ask me way too many questions, but he doesn't sulk behind and act all shy. He's very open with me, and would tell me anything that's bothering him. And I'm the same with him.

I'm not shy to tell anyone; I really REALLY like Takeru. He's always been a good friend, in good times and bad. When we were in the Digital World and I was in trouble, BAM, he was there protecting me. When a guy gets all sensitive after I've told him 'NO, I won't go out with you' for the 5th time and he raises a fist at me, BANG, Takeru was there telling him to lay off. You see, people LISTEN to Takeru, because he's a popular basketball player, he has ALOT of muscle, and people are down right afraid of him.

I especially need Takeru next Thursday. You see, next Thursday is my birthday. And ALL of the guys at school will be bombarding me with presents. And some of them even try to kiss me on my birthday. It's so GROSS. People that dispise me will try to beat me up, and the people in my fanclub will want an interview for their privet newspaper that they sell in the school, which is all about me and my life. They could get suspended for doing that, but I decided that I wouldn't tell the principal. They'd probably just start a magazine on how horrible I am and how mean I can be. Feh, it's their lifestyle, not mine.

And to get away from all of this commotion, I'm planning a trip; a very LONG trip. Maybe to Europe or something, but it has to be somewhere where I'd enjoy myself. China? Nahh. Too close to Japan. Turkey? Definetly NOT. Too close to those terrorist countries. Italy? Maybe. I like pasta, so it'll probably work. Africa might be good. Maybe I'll even learn a thing or two on history. These places are all too famous. I need somewhere different. Somewhere where there's something to do EVERYDAY. Somewhere where there are sights that will take my breath away. Somewhere where I'd be happy on my birthday.

The idea suddenly hit me. I found somewhere worth while. Somewhere where most people go on their b-days. I mean, it's PERFECT. And it's different.

I'm going to convince my parents to let me go to New York City, USA. With Taichi, of course, and maybe Takeru and his brother. It's the perfect opportunity to get an A on my Foriegn Country report and to see the what some people say 'beautiful' sceanery of NYC. The Big Apple. Home of the Statue of Liberty, Rockafeller Center, the exceptionally HUGE Christmas tree, and some of the BEST shops and stores in the USA. It would be an AMAZING experience. It's too bad that I've already asked them and they've said no. It's amazing what can go on in only one paragraph, isn't it? So, I guess now I'll go into my room and cry my heart out. My trip to New York was kaput. No more NYC. No more shopping. No more sight-seeing, well, except maybe the sight-seeing I'll have on the inside of my eyelids. I finally closed my eyes after what seemed like a whole year ( which was only a day ) and fell asleep, thoughts of NYC floating in my head.

END CHAPPIE

I know, its real sappy and corny, but it's only the prolouge. Remember, there are many more chapters coming along, well, their coming along VERY slowly, but before you know it you'll have a fully developed story before you. Don't flame me on the shortness of the chapter, please, it's ten thirty and I'm TIRED. Maybe longer chapters will come while I'm actually fully awake. Peace!
