Authors Note: Only own Akio, Mylan Mei, and her Aunt.

Akio- He's not gay okay! he's straight. He looks like Tidus from Final Fantasty X. but with brown hair.

She awoke to the light beeming into her room. She rose, stretched, and walked to the restroom. Just thinking about what happened last night gave her the chills. She straightened her very curly hair and put some blush on. She wanted to maintain her natural look so she didn't "destory" her face with makeup. She dressed in her uniform, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs. She wanted to wakeup to a huge delicious breakfast, but that was nothing more than a fantasty. She always woke up to a note next to the cigarette ashtray.

"Mylan went to the liquor store,

have fun at school.

Love, Auntie."

She hated these notes more than anything. She threw it away, grabbed an orange, peeled it, and walked out. She ate the orange on her way to school, but felt somehow different today. She felt like she was being watched. She kept turning around everytime she felt eerie. She then arrived at school where she knew all eyes were on her. She walked straight to class and sat way in the back, away from everyone. Mylan had no friends in school. Every student there thought she was pshyco and that her parents were killed by Lil Slugger. Some even thought she killed her parents herself. She put her notebook infront of her face to hide the looks of her classmates. She didn't like school because she had no friends, no boyfriend, and teachers thought she was weird. The only friend she had was 3 years older than her. People thought that was weird.

The bell rang and class started. Every class was the same; learn something, study, and test. Mylan always passed her classes cause there was nothing to distract her. Finishing up her last easy class before going to lunch she sat and waited patiently. Bell rang and every kid dashed out. She walked out slowly. Everybody stared at her as she walked down the hall. She wanted to run and cry, but she held it in. She made it to her spot, on the hill, under a shady tree. She took her notebook out and wrote down what happened so far in her boring day.

"I can't stop thinking about last night. It gives me the chills. Why didn't he kill me? Was I not a victim? Well anyway today it felt like I was being watched. Every corner I turned I felt like a certain pair of eyes were watching my every move. No one was there when I turned around. This feeling stayed with me and its still with me right now. I can't shake it off. I feel so scared but at the same time...safe. Any who school is nothing but hell. No friends, no boyfriend, no nothing. It's like why am I here in the first place? I think after school i'll go to the park."

She placed her head against the tree and looked at the school infront of her.

Sigh "I'm so tired."

She closed her eyes and pictures of last night flashed through her mind. She shot her eyes opened and noticed everybody going in for the last class. She closed her bag and ran to her class. She forgot to grab her notbook which she left behind. As she took her seat in class she scrambled in her bag for her notebook. She pulled her hair and was wondering where the hell could she have put it. She then remembered she left it on the hill when she rested. She wanted to get it so bad but the attention for asking for the pass made her nervous. So she waited till school ended. Time flew and all she could think about was some stranger reading her notebook. Bell rang and she dashed out of class.

She ran to her spot and didn't see anything. She looked around the tree, in the Lost & Found, and checked her bag one more time. She walked up to the hill, fell to her knees. and started to cry. Someone out there was reading her private thoughts and most likely laughing at her writing. She hit the tree and wiped her eyes. She grabbed her bag and walked to the park. She bought a coconut ice cream bar and sat on a bench. She looked around the park and noticed more couples than before. Kissing, cuddling, laughing, holding hands, taking pictures, she wanted that so bad. She finish her bar and threw the stick away. She got up and walked to the shopping center.

She walked quickly to the store "Fei Spirt" the only dress store that made her feel happy. The cashier, Akio, was her only friend. They known each other since childhood. He knew she loved trying on dresses, so he let her try on the new arrivals.

"Mylan here try this one on. Tell me if it's a good sale."

She grabbed the dress and went to a dressing room. She loved it. It was a beautiful yellow knee length dress. It had clear crystals that formed little shapes of leaves. She danced in front of the mirror smiling. She wanted it so bad but there was no occasion. She closed her eyes and pictured a guy next to her. She opened them and saw Lil Slugger in the mirror. She backed away a bit from the mirror but wasn't scared. She walked back to the mirror and placed her hand on the mirror. She smiled a wee bit and felt safe at this point. She closed her eyes and opened them again. She saw nothing but her own lonely reflection. She took a deep breath and sat on the floor.

"Mylan?"

"Yeah Akio."

"Umm...I have to close up the shop in a bit."

"Oh okay. Be right out then."

She slipped the dress off and changed backed into her uniform. She walked to the register and placed the dress on the counter.

"So hows school kid?"

"Okay still no friends or boyfriend. And those rumors are getting faker and faker."

"Ahhh...don't worry about it. You don't need friends anyway kid. You got me and I got you. What more do you need."

"You got a point there."

"So hows the dress?"

"Perfect. Agreat sell."

"You know...I wonder why my Grampa left me this shop in his will."

"Maybe he wants you to sell dresses."

"Maybe...but he use to tell me this shop had a love curse. For some reason you grow attached to this store and you love it like a wife."

"Thats cute. Well I gotta go home Akio. See you tomorrow maybe?"

"Yeah come help me with inventory."

"Okay then bye. Sweet Dreams."

She walked out looking back at him. Akio meant alot to her. He was her only friend and he listened to everything she had to say. She loved him and hopefully he loved her too. She stepped foot outside and little breeze hit her face. She checked her watch, "Eight fifty seven. School ends to late. I can't wait till vacation." She walked home taking the shortcut. This time no wrong turns and no Lil Slugger. She made it at 9:15 so she sat on her apartment porch. "Such a nice night. but no notebook." For some reason she wanted to see Lil Slugger. She had no idea why. Just something about him she wanted to see. When he appeared in the mirror she felt forever safe. She put her hands on her cheeks and started to cry.

"How could I say that! He's a killer! I've known Akio longer and I don't feel this safe with him."

She cried and wiped her nose. She closed her eyes and let her tears hit the hard cold concrete ground.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing."

She shot her eyes open and saw two golden skates.

"What?"

"There...is...nothing...wrong...with..you."

"Ohhh...what would you know your a killler."

"Well lets just say this thing helped me."

He pulled her notebook out and presented it to her. She snatched it and hugged it.

"So you stole it?"

"Well not really. I borrowed it."

"Well you had me worried!"

"Then don't leave it around."

She put the notebook in her bag and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Thank You."

She got up and wrapped her arms around him. He grabbed his bat and hit the back of her head. She fell to the ground, still breathing. He picked her up, grabbed her bag, and skated away from the apartment with her, in his arms.
