A Bitter Pill With Stars That Thrill

by I'll Break Your Heart

"Promises"-Dying in a hospital was a fate that Shiki had unwillingly accepted. Robbed of her life, even the stars can't offer her happiness. Yet sometimes, the "stars" have different plans for the living...Drabbles about life, death, and Neku/Shiki

"-So then I said 'Hey! Quit being such a prick and just help her out!'"

The cheerful voice of Eri was one that Shiki had always heartily welcomed.

She loved it when her best friend came over and told her about the "excitement" that was high school. Having been diagnosed and checked in when she was just ten, Shiki had asked question after question about school, wanting to know if it was just like all the manga, romance novels, anime, and dramas she had been reading and watching while she was in the hospital.

Eri had laughed and shook her head.

"No," she said sadly. "Unfortunately real high school is nothing like 'fantasy' high school." She smiled.

"I wish it was though."

I can only imagine Shiki's curiosity when it came to high school. For me, middle school sucked but high school is freaking awesome.
