I showed Mikan my room, and once she saw it, she was amazed with it. I guess that the difference in Star Ranking really makes a difference. After she left, I looked around my room. It was more perfect that my room at home. The furniture was all in it's assigned places and not messed up. It was a bigger room than my previous one and I decided on a shower.
As I proceeded to the shower, I could not help but run my hands down the scar left behind by my sister. It was a long scar on my back, running from my neck to the waist. I had forgotten how it had gotten there, but it was better than I forgot it, anyway. I remembered Mikan talking about Central Town and everything, but I was not really interested in it. Nevertheless, I decided not to disappoint her and changed into a set of clothes worthy of going out. I wore a black t-shirt with some white, gothic imprints and a pair of black jeans. I matched my outfit my only pair of black boots and tied my hair up into a ponytail.
Soon, I arrived at where Mikan agreed to meet. She was wearing a pink dress with her hair let down and pink sandals. She looked really pretty with her hair let down. "Maika-chan!" She shouted.
"Mikan-chan," I murmured, trying to fix a smile on my face. But I failed. Maybe, I was not fit to smile, just keeping an emotionless face would be better. I heard her asking me to go with her on the bus, but I refused. "Gomen nasai, Mikan-chan, but I can't go with you…"
She looked disappointed. "Why is that so?"
"I'm not fit to." She seemed aghast at my reply, but nevertheless, left me with my own devices. I guess, she did not and will never see me as a friend. At that point of time, I felt that I was back to the little bird, locked up in a cage, in the darkest place of the world.
Maybe, one day, I would be free.
Maybe, someone will unlock the cage for me and be with me.
But, for now, I'm can only hope for the best. I guess.
