CHAPTER 3
sweet i'm glad y'all like it and here ya go!
thanks for the reviews, they make me happy and keep me motivated to going on...so tell me what you think and here ya go
ichigo ran, and kept on running. She had no idea where she was going, she wasn't thinking straight...
Her feline cat abilities kept her endurance up but finally, panting, she jogged left and headed towards the woody park.
The woody park was a beautiful quiet place where she usually went to think, she hadn't gone there for a while but at the moment...she wanted to be alone...by herself...where no one could see her tears...
Ichigo took one of the trails in the woods, the pathway was clear with a couple of weeds but it led her soon to the park.
my secret park...which no one knows about...
No one knew or cared. The park was a torn down one. The swings were broken except for one...the see-saw spilt in half right through the middle. The monkey bars were missing a few poles and everything eles was basically in the same condition.
She stopped and sat on the only stable swing and rocked back and forth, back and forth like she used to when she was little.
i can't go to the cafe...right now...i can't face my friends...i don't want to talk about it yet...and they would know something was wrong...they are after all good friends...
She kept on swinging higher and higher, her eyes blank and distant..
mom's gonna be worried i'm late...
i don't care...
Still she pulled out her cell-phone and dialed her home number...
The answering machine picked up
"yea, hi mom i'll be running a little late...be back a hour later then expected...see ya soon...ichigo..."
That was as normal as she could make her voice sound with a broken heart...
it hurts so much...
She sighed, her hair covering her eyes and tear streaked face...
i loved him. i really did...
"maysai" she murmmered.
She stayed there a little bit longer till she was all out of tears and her heart ached till it was numb.
Standing up, she wiped the tears and decided to go home.
Glancing in her purse mirror she thought she looked normal enough that her parents wouldn't worry. Her eyes were slightly puffy but that would fade...
they're taking me out for dinner tonight...for my birthday... a day early...since they're working tommorow and i'm busy--or was busy...she thought bitterly, anyways i can't do that do them...
Ichigo started home, clutching her purse.
She passed many people, strangers, but none of them were maysai.
Finally she reached her own snow-white house.
"hi mom i'm home!" Ichigo unlocked the door and stepped inside " sorry i'm late!"
"honey, i was worried" her mother answered immediatly, i'm glad your back though...was Ryou working you late?"
"what?--ah--i mean no...where's everyone eles?"
"getting ready we're going someplace fancy, your outfit is on your bed i just bought yesterday as a suprise and birthday present for you!" her mother's voice was happy " it just seemed to say your name ichigo"
Ichigo wandered to the kitchen
ichigo i love you...
i want to break up...
She shook her head and finally found her mom. Her mouth dropped open.
"mom?what? what? whoa"
Her mother was in a beautiful splendid black velvet dress that made her slim down. Her hair was pulled on top of her head in shining crystals.
"mom, your really decked up!"
"yeah...like i said we're going to a really fancy place" her mother grinned and ushered her up the stairs.
"go on...go change..."
Ichigo trotted up the stairs "wh-wh-what?" she felt so confused.
Turning the knob of her door, she went into her pink and white bedroom and gasped at the dress spread out on her hearted pink blanket.
A beautiful dress. An amazing dress...
A cock-tail dress of a glittering blue sat on her bed...there was little ruffles at the bottom and it was skin tight and strapless.
Stripping her clothes she finally changed into the sparkling beauty.
where in the world are they taking me that i have to dress like this?
STill when she glanced in the mirror she felt like a model. The dress clung to all the right places making her feel sleek and elegant.
"oh wow" she whispered.
i wish maysai could see me in this...
She shook her head, she had to forget about him, she had to do this for her family...and for herself...
When she trotted down the stairs her mother was beaming and her father was clapping.
She smiled back, a genunine smile.
thankyou. your always there for me...
They stepped into her father's convertible
"so where are we going?" she asked curiously.
"you'll see" her father replied mysteriously.
"-da--add, mom"
"your so impatient..."
They had been driving for a half-hour. Ichigo fidgiting impatiently while talking to her parents and listeing to the radio.
"okay honey we're almost there now close your eyes"
With a sigh she did.
They helped her out of the car and it took her best urges not to peak.
"can i open them now?"
"not yet"
"now"
"no"
"how bout?"
"Ichigo you can open your eyes now" Her mother gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
Ichigo opened her large blue eyes and gasped in amazement.
This definately wasn't a restuarant.
"HAPPY BIRHTDAY ICHIGO!" a chorus of voices yelled and she recongnized them.
"y'guys" Sure enough when ichigo turned around there were her close friends mint, lettuce, pudding,zakuro, ryou and kechiro and about a anothor twenty behind them.
"w-ow-" ichigo said, for once she had never seen this coming.
Ichigo was in a large room, a ball room to be exact. It was decorated beautifully with banners that said happy birthday ichigo and roses and flowes. A chandelier hung above her head gleaming brightly and a D.J in the corner that was playing music. And it wasn't classical either! it was what she listened to and loved!
"awsome!" she muttered.
A buffet table stretched from one side of the room to the other filled with apppetizing foods and aroma. Ballons were everywhere.
It was a remarkable place.
And also everyone was dressed in fancy cocktail dresses or suits.
She couldn't believe that her mother could make all the guys from her class acuatly dress in suits, that was hilarous.
"thankyou everyone" she whispered.
XD next chapter will take place at this place. at ichigo's suprise party. hope you liked and sorry it was kinda short. but ta-ta for now.
