Hi, sorry about the really short chapters, I promise to make them longer.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, all of your advice was great.
I don't own Skip beat or its characters, but I do own this story plot.
"Kyouko and you coming to lunch today," Asked Rei, one of my classmates. I had returned to my old school willingly, I just didn't have the fight left in me anymore.
"No, I'm going to stay here and study, but you go ahead I'm fine here." I said waving her in the direction of the door. The room was finally empty and I didn't have to fake happy anymore. It was a relief because I was tired of smiling when I wasn't happy at all.
"Kyouko, will you come here for a moment?" Asked my teacher who had reentered the room, he was one of the normal teachers, the ones that are medium size, not too fat not too thin; He even smiled most of the time.
I sighed loudly and he seemed to take that as resistance. I stood up and walked to the front of the classroom and stood in front of his desk where he had taken his seat. He looked me in the eyes and then began. "Kyouko I was just talking to your old teacher from last year, and she was just telling me how much she missed her favorite pupil."
I waited patiently, only slightly listening to what he was saying, but mostly I was wallowing in self pity. I missed my acting school, and I missed my acting friends, and I just missed acting.
"I was just told that you were the kind of student who smiled everyday, and tried hard to make something out of every experience. I was just wondering what happened to that happy girl?" He asked staring me in the eyes, which was annoying, why did he care so much?
I stared straight back, "Nothing happened to that girl, she's standing right in front of you. Maybe you just have to look harder?" I knew it was mean, but like I said, who cared anymore. I was just here for the diploma; after I graduated I would go work at my mothers company and live out the rest of my life in misery.
He didn't get mad, actually he looked sad. "Kyouko, where did you go last year? You just left the city, no one knew where you went, and your mother was on one of her long business trips."
"You don't need to know so I don't need to tell you."
"I'm just trying to help Kyouko."
"What does it matter where I was if I'm here now? You get the check every month and I get a high school education. We both win, and now can I get back to my work, or was there something else you wanted to talk to me about? I asked with a flat expressionless voice.
He just looked at me, almost amazed by my behavior. "Kyouko, why do you put a smile on for everyone if you're not happy?"
"Well that's an easy question, so that everyone else is happy."
Ren's point of view, LME
It had been a week and four days since she had left. I just couldn't get her out of my head. Why did this have to be so hard?
"Well well well, what do we have here?" Asked Sho as he waltzed up to me with that ignorant smirk on his face, he could probably see the misery on my face and thought it was his doing.
"Go away Sho, I don't think I can deal with you right now, why don't you go pester someone else for once."
"Now why would I want to see anyone but the one person who wanted to take Kyouko away from me in misery?" He asked, the sarcasm dripping from his mouth like a drooling Saint Bernard.
I jumped up from where I was sitting and grabbed him, shoving him back against the nearby wall. I could here the wind being knocked out of him and smiled, though it still wasn't of happiness. I would only smile again when she came back.
"Man," Sho stuttered once he regained his breathe. "What's your problem, why are you so pissed today, actually you've been pissed for over a week now. What's up?"
"You idiot, haven't you realized by now?"
"Realized what exactly?" He asked with that retarded grin again.
"Kyouko's mom came and took her home eleven days ago, and you haven't even noticed that she was gone until now?" I asked in bitter disbelief, and then I remembered who I was talking to.
Realization flickered behind his eyes, and I think reality had finally sunk into his thick skull. "Why did she go with her?"
I almost laughed, but then remembered that it was Sho. "What does Kyouko want more than anything in the world, even more then revenge against you?"
Lights and gears turned in that little tiny brain of his until he finally got it. "Her mother's approval, she has always wanted her mom to love her like a mom should."
I patted him on the head grimly, "Yeah, and she's not coming back."
"What do you mean, of course she is, we just have to go get her first is all. Don't tell me that you've given up on her already?"
"In your dreams, Tinker bell."
Kyouko's point of view, on her way home from school.
Sniff, I had tried so hard in the past to keep my hurtful face hidden from those around me, like Sho and his parents. They didn't know how to comfort me, and I hated that uncomfortable fidgeting they did when they saw me sad.
There had always been someplace special I'd go to when I was really very horribly upset. Corn, he might not actually be there, but in spirit it always felt like I could feel my fairy prince protecting me. Today I really needed to be protected, I thought as the tears streaked down my now shiny wet cheeks.
I had just pushed through the last of the brush when I saw someone up ahead, right near where me and Corn used to meet.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I screamed
I hope you liked this chapter and please give me ideas on the next chapter. I'm always open to other people's ideas. Oh, and don't forget to review.
