It was night, I had just boarded the plane to Cotarol, I was going to see Rococo again in meer hours. Everything was going to be fine now; I soothed myself as I felt my eyelids fluttering. Everything was going to be alright.
What she doesn't know is that, everything was far from being ok.
I opened my eyes; sunlight was streaming in through the windows of the airplane. I looked through the window; the view below me was amazing. A wide grassy plain stretched below me; dotted with tall trees; casting shadow below them where they were blocking out the sun. The only shade I saw on this sunny day.
THE AIRPLANE WILL BE LANDING AT COTAROL IN FIVE MINUTES, PLEASE READY YOUR BELONGINGS FOR THE DEPARTURE, THANK YOU…
The announcement snapped me out of my daze; I hurriedly stuffed my jacket into my back pack and waited for the plane to land. As soon as the plane landed, I grabbed my suit case and hurried out the doors. I walked into the main room and looked around for a familiar face. There! Only he wasn't alone; beside Rococo stood a girl. She had curly waist length blond hair, and beautiful azure eyes. The girl was just slightly shorter than Rococo was leaning against him; by her expression; it was clear that she didn't want to be here, but if Rococo wanted her to be then what could she do?
One look and tears threatened to spring to my eyes, I was heartbroken. Rococo's eyes swept over the room and when he saw me, he smiled and waved enthusiastically towards my direction. The girl next to him also looked up, eyes narrowed and looking around; both searching for one person; me. I was holding back the tears now, I turned away; not wanting to look at them; just in case one of them saw a tear sliding down my cheek. I shouldered my backpack and sped up to blend in with the crowd, trying to ignore the looks that people threw at me. Occasionally I would hear a familiar voice calling my name; however it took all my will power not to look back, to simply ignore him. I ran towards the nearest bus and got on just as the doors were closing; I had managed to escape.
I walked to the very back of the bus and sat down. I buried my head in my hands as I sobbed quietly. Why did it have to turn out this way? We've only been apart for a few months and already he's found someone to replace me… but then why waste the time to ask me to come to Cotarol then? I started too dozed off while thinking, only to be awakened by someone tapping my shoulder. "Um… are you going to get off, this is the last stop you know." I looked up; the person standing in front of me was none other than Endou Daisuke. When he saw my face however he looked startled "Why hello Kione: what a pleasant surprise, I thought Rococo was going to pick you up at the airport!" "I…uh…I didn't see him and I was going to my hotel." I tried to make up an excuse but epically failed. "Thank you anyways, I need to get off now; I might be seeing you in a little bit!" I pick up my luggage and hurried down the bus steps, leaving behind a bewildered Daisuke.
I signed into my hotel room and after setting my luggage on the floor hurried to the washroom. I stared into the mirror; I looked a mess. My hair was undone and my eyes were blood shot from crying too much, as a matter of fact I don't think I can even cry anymore. I washed and changed into more suitable attire, then sitting back down on the bed and taking gulps out of my almost empty water bottle.
I was thinking really; I came to Cotarol to see Rococo. That was the one and only reason. I should just go over to the Little Gigantic's training area and see him! But then what about the girl that's with him… no, I don't have to think about that now. I walked out of the room and down the corridor from where the elevator was; only to bump into someone who was walking backwards. I crashed to the floor "Owww…" I said as I rubbed the back of my head. "Gomen…hey Kione! Why didn't you come with me when I waved to you at the airport!" The person I had bumped into was Rococo. 'Damn' I thought as I looked up, I didn't want to meet him here. "Ah… gomen I didn't see you there…" Rococo just shook his head and grinned. "It's nice to have you back you know." I smiled. However the smile was wiped off my face when I heard another voice: "If you had just looked up or something you wouldn't have bumped into him and we wouldn't have had to waste so much time tracking you down when you ditched Rococo-san at the airport." "Come on, she's never been here! Just forgive her this once ok?" What? My head was spinning. Forgive me this once? What have I ever done to them and why were they treating me as if I didn't understand a single thing! "I… just…" I didn't know what to say. "Don't worry we'll show you around, no problem!" he smiled again "Why don't we go across the street to that ice cream parlor we always go to!" He wasn't even talking to me, this was my fist day here, I didn't even know there was an ice cream parlor; so he and she had been going there quite often. I felt my hear shatter within me.
This was going to be hard…
