I don't remember falling in love with her.
My Father always said love hits you suddenly. That you can't ignore it when it arrives. It's like a bullet train, coming out of nowhere and slamming into you head on. But Mom would just smile and nod her head when he would explain things like that to me.
My mother would always tell me that love couldn't be forced on you, or taken from you. She would spend time some nights explaining that while sometimes love does hit you fast, it also can also just sneak in, becoming a part of your life. Surprising you without even letting you know it was around or how it got there.
Travis asked Laura out today. Nothing I could have done would have stopped that.
I wasn't really surprised. I should have been expecting it, but I really wasn't. Travis is the cutest boy in class. She does have a really obvious crush on him too. Of course he should want to go out with her, and vice versa.
Kylie looked a little surprised at the event. She wasn't close enough to hear the entire conversation, but I think she figured out what was going on very quickly. She's much sharper then people give her credit for you know...
I pick up the phone, and start calling Travis. I don't know what I'm going to say, but I have to say something.
"Hey! Travis, how are you?" I nod at the phone a few times, listening to him speak. He's really excited, it's actually a little infectious. That's why people like him, when he's happy, everyone is happy. "Yeah about this weekend... I can't go out with you. I'm sorry..." I'm sure there's more conversation, but my voice handles it on auto pilot, trying to politely let him down as another part of my brain wanders off.
Everybody knew Laura had a huge crush on Travis. I knew I had a huge crush on Travis. I still do. But the look on Kanna's face when he asked to speak to me was just so...
It's was like she wanted to scream and cry and hit things all at once, until she didn't have to think or feel any more. But she had thrown up a weak smile, just for me, just so I wouldn't feel bad. Like she was physically hurt, just by me walking away or growing up and getting a boyfriend, but she didn't want me to feel bad for any of it. Like she was willing to drop everything, just so I'd be happy.
June said once that the people you like and the people you love aren't always the same people. That you can fall deeply in love with someone, and at the exact same time be looking for someone you'd like to fall in love with.
I really do like Travis, he's nice, and cute and pretty much perfect. There really is no better boyfriend material on the planet. All in all he's everything I would look for in a person to love, man or woman.
But I love Kanna.

End!
Me no own Hamtaro? That unpossible.
And so ends a one shot made 3 ways. Objective: Write a story that seems like it's from Kana's point of view. I dunno. How'd I do?
Other relationships contained with in: Kylie/June: Kylie opens her mouth a bit too often for her own good, June tries to let people do what they want and learn from their own mistakes. They may just be friends, but... Kana's Mom: Kana's mom is in denial of most of her relationships. If she's not thinking about it, she doesn't have to worry about it. She loves her husband, but... Laura's Mom: Laura's Mom loves lots of people, for different reasons. She loves her husband because he's fun and goofy, and pretty much helpless without her. Any relationships/fantasies on the side are just as normal, but have no barring on her feelings towards her husband or her marriage. All exist in her mind without major issue, except possibly schedualling.
