017 – Angry
It wasn't that Hikari was mad or even upset, it's just she wasn't…happy about it.
She completes highschool with two wonderful, kind, brave best friends. Two wonderful, kind, brave, male best friends. So naturally, she'd expected that one of them would be interested in her, want to settle down with her, marry her even. Isn't that the basic premise for most chick flicks?
The three of them are 18 now, and she's sitting opposite them as they hold hands tightly under the table. Both smiling, nothing forced, and so much love in their eyes. They're a good couple, opposites attract and all that jazz.
And she's happy for them…really. How could she be resentful of the gaze, the kisses, the affection. The thought that it should've been hers bubbles every so often, but she beats it back down.
Because she's not an attention whore, and she's not that self-absorbed and she's not angry…really.
