Chapter 4

The dark room began to fill with morning light to wake the being within the room. The rays crept through the openings of the blinds and continued to travel up the bed till it reached a sleeping face. There that rays placed its warmth on its cheek and grew bigger till it covered the eyes of the dreamer. The warmth awoke the being as the warmth caused its eyes to open so a pair of sparkling purple eyes glitter in the sun's light. The being slowly moved from their laying position and sat at the edge of the bed were they stretched their legs and muscles. Soon after the morning routine of stretching, they placed their small feet into a pair of fuzzy white slippers with a light blue star in the center of each one.

Hotaru was still tired but she couldn't sleep in this time. She wished she could but that would have to be later after her butterflies flee from her. The butterflies in the pit of her stomach were still there from last night. They were the caused of her tiredness because she couldn't go to sleep knowing that tomorrow was the day she was waiting to know the out come of it.

Hotaru walked into the kitchen and grabbed the box of oatmeal mix from the cabinet. While the oatmeal was cooking she turned on the radio discovered her favorite song at the time was playing. It was the song "Real Emotion" from Koda Kumi. She loved that song and the beat it had. It almost wanted to make her dance right there in the kitchen while in her pajamas. She would have too, but she was too afraid that any neighbors she lived by just happened to see her in the act. Hotaru just sang to the song instead of dancing.

After the oatmeal was done cooking, she placed some sugar in it so that it could be sweet as well. Hotaru sat at the table and ate her breakfast as she tried to predict how today was going to be. She predicted a happy ending but she doubt that would happen.

After breakfast she took a shower to refresh herself for today's event. She wanted to smell good incase and look clean incase she does happen to see Cupid. She got out of the shower and went back into her room to figure out what to wear. She went through all the drawers and her closet to look for something nice to wear. Clothes were flying everywhere as she decided whether to wear it or not.

Twenty minutes went past and she found a cute outfit to wear. She found a white spaghetti strap top and a purple skirt that went down to a little above the knees and had splits going up the sides. She decided to wear some nice brown leather flip-flops with this kawaii outfit. She had no clue what to do with her hair and decided to not do anything with it till she got a second / third opinion from Makoto and Ami about her outfit.

Makoto and Ami where to arrive shortly around 11:30 so the three could go over to the café together. Hotaru felt so much better about this whole idea of them coming incase something did happen. She felt a lot more protected then going by herself.

Hotaru remembered Makoto and how she said she was going to beat the kids from her school. She could just picture Makoto in the act while her class mates where screaming for their lives while Makoto was chasing them down the busy streets of Tokyo. Hotaru giggled a little at this and thought how if cupid wasn't real then it would be a great day any way seeing Makoto having fun with the pranksters and Ami trying to keep Makoto from having to much fun with them.

The door bell rang. Hotaru stopped looking at herself in the mirror and went to go answer the door. She already had a feeling it was Makoto and Ami so she didn't hurry to answer the door. As she was about to answer the door, she tripped over a book that was on the ground and fell right over on the floor. Hotaru rubbed the areas that had pain and quickly got up to let Makoto and Ami in.

She opened the door to find that no body was there. She looked around her yard and then her eyes caught something on the ground by her feet. The scene was all to familiar. She picked up the heart covered letter that had Hotaru's name written in blue ink. Hotaru smiled, for she knew pretty much where the letter came from. She went back inside and jumped on the couch to read the letter. The letter, this time, had a scent of roses. She loved the scent and enjoyed it before she opened the letter. Rose petals fell from the envelope as she pulled the letter out. She smiled as she watch the pink petals fall slowly to the floor where the gently landed. Her eyes trailed back to the letter as she began to read it slowly with her mind. Again she couldn't read it as well. The letters where sloppy again like a child but she could make it out.

Hotaru,

This week has gone by quickly and today is the day you find out my true identity. All week I haven't been able to sleep. I'm afraid you won't like me for the person that I am. My looks might not appeal to you like some of the popular people in the world but I hope you will just like me for who I am.

If you are still willing to visit me at the café, look for a person with a red rose. I will be the person with the red rose. Well, I'm not much of a talker so I will just put this letter to a close and talk to you later at the café. Bye

From,

Cupid

Hotaru smiled and placed the letter and rose petals back into the envelope and went back into her room and put it right next to her last letter from cupid which was on the desk.

'I can't believe cupid was here and I could have caught a glimpse of him if I hadn't tripped on my way to the door.' Hotaru laid back on her bed and tried to predicted what the day with cupid was going to be and how cupid was going to be like. She just laid back on her lavender pillow and shut her eyes for a little bit.
