Ami
I have always been alone. Comforted only by the books that I read. No one wants to be friends with the class nerd. So I hide. Hide behind my books and my intellect. I do an excellent job too. No one has ever really tried to get to know me for who I am. Instead they assume they know me. They believe that I am a cold intellectual who cares for nothing but grades and knowledge. A nerd. They believe I am striving to become greater and only that. How wrong they are. I learn and study because I must. She depends on me. I don't know who she is but I dream about her. She is calling me, but I can't go to her, at least not yet. Even still she is always there with me, and needing me. I never see her face but I know that she is something great, greater than anyone else and she needs me. For what? I think, no I know, she wants my advice, my abilities, but mainly my friendship. The most important thing though is that she needs me and because of that I can put up with the mocking and scorning. She is the friend and companion I have dreamed of for so long. The one who would always be there for me when I needed them. A friend who would love me for who I am not what I can do. Someday I know I will meet her. I feel it in my heart and soul. It is as if she is my sole purpose. So everyday I search for her because the day we meet my life will truly begin.
A new girl arrived today at school. I heard she was Japanese but you couldn't tell from her outward appearance. She has gloriously long blond hair with large silver swaths adorned her head. I had seen her earlier talking with other students. I could not believe it, she was making friends easier than I could explain quantum physics. Everyone was taken with her. I admit, so was I and I hadn't even met her. But who wouldn't be that saw her or met her? She was so beautiful in both body and soul. She gave off an aura that said "I AM LOVE. I AM BEAUTY. I AM PURITY." and everyone seemed to want to be near her. It was as if by being near her you could absorb some of those elements.
As I walked to lunch I heard most everyone talk about her. She was most defiantly the talk of the school. I sighed and resigned myself to the tree I usually sat under at lunch and began to read. I was already 20 chapters ahead in all my classes so I was reading next years books. I was so engrossed that it wasn't until the book was snatched out of my grasp that I realized I was not alone. If there is one way to instantly get on my nerves it is to break my concentration and that is what just happened. I turned towards the book thief fully ready to let loose a bit of frustration when I saw just who it was. A girl, the new girl to be precise, was there sitting next to me scanning through the pictures of my book. She soon noticed that she had my attention and looked to me. Smiling she said, "My name is Tsukino Usagi." I tried to be wary of her, I mean who in their right mind would come sit with me, ME, when they could sit with anyone in the whole school? 'I must be her science project for the week.' I thought bitterly. But as much as I tried I could not hide my pleasure of her company. From that day forward she always sat with me. Never judging me. Never calling me names. She simply wanted to be my friend and that is what she is; my best friend. Later, the knowledge that this girl was Sailor Moon and the Moon Princess whom I was sworn to protect I was actually relieved. For protecting her and loving her is all that I wanted to do from the moment I met her.
