"Will you give me a chance? Will you give me a chance to prove my love towards you?" Josh asked as he held Bijou's hand. He stared into Bijou's emerald eyes, waiting for an answer…
Disclaimer: I do not own Hamtaro
"What?" Bijou asked with a confused tone. "You're joking around, right?" Bijou asked with a weak smile, knowing that wasn't true.
"Bijou..." Josh said in a serious tone.
Bijou just stared at her feet. "I... I don't know what to say... but you know I love Ham..." Bijou paused; Josh wrapped his arms around Bijou, he was hugging her gently. "Josh..." Bijou said softly, almost in a whisper. "I'm sorry, but I hope we can stay as friends; we can try to forget about this." Bijou said hopingly.
Josh hugged Bijou tighter which caused her to flinch. "I DON'T HAVE A SIMPLE CRUSH ON YOU! MY FEELING WON'T DISAPPEAR EVEN THOUGH I WANT IT TO!" Josh yelled. "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY HEART ACHES!" Josh said as he trembled, "I love you..." Josh sobbed.
Bijou was still shocked, but she slowly lifted her hands and softly hugged Josh back. All she could say was "I'm sorry". She couldn't find any other words to say to Josh.
Josh let go of Bijou and leaned back on the porch bench. "I'm sorry." Josh said as he looked up at the sky. "I'm such an idiot." Josh ran his hand through his blonde hair. He gave Bijou a weak smile. "I'll never have a chance with a girl like you."
Bijou stared at Josh with her emerald eyes, her eyes started to water and then tears ran down her face. "I'm sorry. I'm already in a relationship and I love Hamtaro. I'm sorry I can't give you a chance. I'm truly sorry..." Bijoiu was trying to hold back her tears but they kept on flowing.
Josh rested his hands on Bijou's shoulders and looked at her. "You have nothing to be sorry for." Josh wiped one of his own tears that slowly started to fall. "An angellike you, who cried for an idiot like me, surely is already in a relationship. If you weren't, that'll be weird." Josh stood up and took a deep breath. "Hope your relationship with Hamtaro is a good one!" Josh said as he winked and gave a thumbs up. Josh started to walk away until he felt a tug on his sleeve.
Bijou looked at Josh with hopeful eyes and said, "You too. Hope you'll find happiness." She forced in a weak smile.
Josh smiled back and started to walk into the morning fog, looking for new happiness and hope...
(A/N: I'd like to thank Sonic Blaze for giving me suggestion on what Bijou should say to Josh. I took parts of his suggestions and mixed then into mine. If you have any suggestions on making my story better, PM me)
OoOooOOooOooOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOOoOOoOoOoooOOOOOOoOOoOOoOOoOOOOOOoooOOoOoOooooOOOO
Sandy was working her Saturday-morning shift in Mr.Brown's bookstore. She was stacking up books on the counter and carried them to the bookshelves. When she came back, Sandy saw a huge basket full of white and red roses.
"Wow..." Sandy said as she let out a breath, "These roses are so pretty..." Sandy touched a white rose and then realized there was a envelope hiding in the stems. Sandy started to tear one side of it and slowly took out a ticket. A ticket to an amusement park, inside the envelope was also a letter:
Dear Sandy,
How are you doing? It's me, Maxwell. I know this is out of the blue but I was hoping that you'd go the amusement park with me tomorrow. I want to spend a whole day with you, Sandy. It'll be our special day. If you don't want to go, you don't have to, I understand.If you want to go, please meet me in front of the bookstore we first met at, 10 in the morning. I hope you'll come.
Maxwell
PS: I hope the roses arrived fresh and healthy
Sandy just looked at the letter with a surprised look. Then she suddenly was smiling. "YYEEESSSSS! I have a date with Maxwell tomorrow!" Sandy yelled. The whole bookstore heard her but she didn't care. She was the happiest person in the whole world.
OoOOoOOOOooOooOOOOoOoooooooOOoOOOOOOOOOooOooOoOOOOOOOoOOOOoooooOoOo
Sandy was on the phone with Pashmina and Bijou.
"I can't wait till tomorrow!" Pashmina squealed.
"What's special about tomorrow?" Bijou asked.
"We'll see who won the modeling agreement! I really hope we won!" Pashmina answered.
"When was the last time you saw the voting counts?" Sandy asked.
"A couple of days ago. But I'm not so worried about it right now. I'm sure that we won." Bijou answered flatly, trying to sound like she wasn't interested. "Okay, I was trying to keep this to myself, but Josh confessed to me last night!" Bijou squealed her news.
"WHAT!" Sandy and Pashmina said at the same time.
"I know! I really didn't know, but since I'm going out with Hamtaro and everything..."
"I sorta feel bad for him. He seemed to really like you." Sandy said, she was still surprised that Josh confessed so soon.
"How did you know?" Pashmina asked slyly.
"Uh..."
"It's okay, you don't have to say anything. But he seemed to take it better than I expected."
"Maybe, he is pretty tough. I can't imagine him crying or tearing up. So Sandy, anything happen with you and Maxwell?" Pashmina asked.
"Okay, this is nothing but, this morning, I got a basket full of roses and..."
"Who was it from?" Bijou interupted.
"It was from Maxwell and..."
"That's so sweet, you should get him somthing also!" Pashmina interrupted.
"AND! Sandy cleared her throat and, a letter with an amusement ticket, he said he wants to me to go there with him tomorrow!" Sandy said excitedly.
"Oh My God!" Bijou and Pashmina said at the same time.
"What?" Sandy asked confused.
"Maxwell asked you out! You must be soooooo happy!" Bijou yelled. "What are you wearing tomorrow?"
"I'm not sure, shirt and pants?" Sandy said cluelessly.
"That's not going to work! It's chilly nowadays cause it's almost winter so... wear boots, that's for sure."
"And a skirt! Then wear a white shirt, it'll make you look pure for the first date, it's a good impression."
"Also, on top of that white shirt, wear a jacket, that'll look good."
"Ooh! Oh! And make sure to put your hair down, do somthing with it, like curling it."
"Okay..." Sandy said, not sure she's getting all of it down.
"Lastly, make sure to wear a scarf, it'll give a touch of the season. It might first look weird wearing a skirt and scarf, but it looks great!"
"Sure... thanks?"
"No prob. You have to call us tomorrow after the amusement park!"
"Okay, bye you guys!" Then Sandy hung up. "Wow, I forgot every word they said!" Sandy went downstairs to get a glass of water. She watered her azaleas and her roses. As she sat down on her dining room table she looked at the girl in the photo. "What would you do? If the guy you like asked you out?" Sandy smiled. "I'm sorry that you couldn't confess your love to him..."
Sandy walked up to the photo and carefully looked at it. She stared at it, the girl in the photo kind of reminded of herself. "She can't be me, I never even lived here." Sandy looked at the photo again and realized that there was something sticking out of the end. Sandy pulled it out and there was an envelope. On the envelope it said: To my love. The lettering font looked a little different, but it was still gold. Sandy slowly opened the letter and started to read it...
(italics: the letter itself
To my Love:
I wouldn't expect myself to actually handing this letter to you, I still don't have the courage, but when I heard that you were in the same Science class as me, I was thrilled...
"So, I guess you're my new lab partner, huh?" The brown-haired boy asked.
"I guess so.." The long-blonde haired girl said. She looked down at her hands trying to avoid eye contact. "D-Do you like science?"
"Yeah... but it can be boring sometimes, I rather be in Reading." He answered.
Even though that was a short conversation, it was the first time I talked to you more than 'good morning'. I wanted more attention, I wanted you to notice, but I didn't know how...
The blonde-haired girl was hiding behind her book while the brown-haired guy was talking with his friends.
"Hey." He called out to a girl. "I like your haircut."
"Thanks." Then the girl walked away.
The blonde-haired girl looked at a strand of her hair. Her hair was down to her waist so she decided to cut it.
To get a short compliment, I changed my whole hair-style so you'd notice, but I didn't get your attention as much as I expected...
"Why would you want to cut your hair? It's so silky and beautiful." The hairdresser lady asked.
"I just felt like changing it." The blonde-haired girl lied. "I'm getting sick of long hair."
"Okay..." The hairdresser lady started to snip her blonde hair. The blonde-haired girl watched her long strands fall. After the hair cut, the blonde-haired girl looked different. It was shorted than her shoulders and she got side-bangs.
I'd look at the mirror thinking 'will I be noticed my you?' I couldn't wait till the morning and it finally arrived...
The blonde-haired girl walked into class. Most of her classmates didn't pay attention to her, but when some people noticed, they were surprised. They'd asked her 'Why'd you cut your hair?' 'It was so pretty though!'
She just smiled and replied 'I just wanted to' to all the questions. Finally it was science. The brown-haired boy's friends were around his desk talking and the blonde-haired girl just sat waiting for class to start.
"Hey." One of the brown-haired boy's friends called for the blonde-haired girl. "Did you cut your hair?"
The blonde-haired girl, a little disappointed, smiled and nodded.
"No duh, can't you see that it's really short now, it was long and down to her waist before." Another one of his friends said. He had blonde hair also."You look cute in the new hair cut." He said as he smiled.
"Thanks..." She was still disappointed but she decided that if she kept talking to the brown-haired boy's friends, he'll say something. "Do you think I cut it too short?"
"Naw, it's just because you're hair was long, but now it's short. Hey, what do you guys think?" The blonde-haired friend asked.
"Yeah, it's cute."
"It makes you look more outgoing."
She recieved a lot of compliments but none was from her love. But he finally said something. "It's nice."
I changed my whole self just to hear those words. You noticed, all those better compliments seemed so small compared to what you said. I started to talk to you and your friends. I wouldn't be able to hear what they said though, I can't, it's so hard to understand others when a clear angelic tone like yours is speaking... My dream was for me to be in a relationship with you, so I'd tried to get you to notice me but I got the wrong person...
"You said you wanted to talk to me." The blonde-haired girl said to the same blonde-haired guy.
"Uh, yeah, it's just that..." The blonde-haired guy looked at the girl. "I really like you. Will you go out with me?"
"What?" The blonde-haired girl asked, surprised.
"I really think your cute and pretty, I started to like you when you started to talk and when I got to know you."
"I-I don't know what to say." The blonde-haired girl said still shocked.
"Please think about it." Then the blonde-haired guy walked away
When someone else confessed to me, and used the words I wanted you to say to me, I felt a small tear in my heart, but I still didn't know what to do...
Sandy quickly finished reading the letter. "I feel so bad for her. So, is this what you had to go through?" Sandy asked as she looked at the photo on the wall. Sandy put the letter back into the envelope and put in behind the picture frame, where she found it. "I wonder what happened though..."
Sandy walked to her room and looked at her closet, wondering what to wear. She decided to wear what Bijou and Pashmina told her to. A skirt, white shirt, jacket, boots, and of course a scarf. "I guess it isn't so bad." Then she plopped herself into bed and fell asleep.
OoOOOOOooOOoOoOOOOoOOoOOOOooOOOOOOOOoooOooOoOOoooooooooOoOoOOOOOoooooo
"Maybe Sandy won't come today..." Maxwell said as he looked around. It was 10:14. He decided to count to 100 and if Sandy didn't come by then, he's going to leave. 1,2,3...
At Sandy's house
"I'm late! What am I going to do?" Sandy said as she stepped out of the showers. She quickly wiped herself and started to dress.
23,24,25...
Sandy quickly brushed her hair and put on a white headband on. "I don't have time!" Sandy started to run out the door.
56,57,58...
"Maxwell.. please wait for me, I've been wanting to spend a day with you for a long time..."
93,94,95...
Sandy started to stop running as soon as she saw Maxwell leaning against the wall. Sandy started to breath heavily and then started to run after him.
98,99,100...
"MAXWELL!" Sandy said as she ran toward him and hugged him. "I'm so glad you waited for me!"
Maxwell smiled and nodded. "I thought you weren't going to show up."
"Well, I did so let's go to the amusement park!" Sandy held Maxwell's hand and started to run...
OOOOooOoOoOOOOOoOOOOoOOOOOOOOooOooOOOooOOoOOoOoOOOoOOoOoOOoO
Sandy and Maxwell were having the time of their lives at the amusement park.
"Let's go here!"
"I don't think I can ride that."
"Mmm, this cotton candy's good!"
They were having the time of their lives... but it was getting dark
Sandy and Maxwell were standing in front of the Merry-go-round.
"The merry-go-round, the flower of the whole park, that's what my father used to say." Sandy said as she looked at the horses go round and round. "He'd always call me 'Princess' and ride with me."
Maxwell looked at Sandy, how her eyes sparkled as she looked at the ride. Maxwell let out a hand and said, "Shall we go, princess?"
Sandy looked at Maxwell and warmly smiled, "Yes, I'd love to." She grabbed Maxwell's hand and Maxwell helped Sandy on a horse. Sandy was smiling the whole ride until it stopped. "That was... wonderful." She said breathless.
"I'm glad you liked it."Maxwell said smiling.
"Maxwell's always smiling... it warms my heart, and I feel comforted, even at the hardest times..." Sandy thought, but then she felt Maxwell hold her hand. "Maxwell?" Sandy called.
Maxwell slowly took out a silver ring out of his pocket and put the ring on Sandy's finger. "This is something to remind you, that I'm always here for you."
Sandy looked at the ring and smiled. "Thank you... thank you Maxwell." Sandy was sure she wasn't able to feel any happier.
"This is also for you..." Maxwell leaned in and softly kissed Sandy on the lips. Sandy felt the warm and care in that single kiss. It felt like an angel touched her lips,Sandy was happy...
OoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOOOOOOooOOoOOoOOOoOOoOOOOoOOoOOOOOOOooOOoOOOO
"What?" Jon said as he held the phone. "You mean, Crystal Palace lost the modeling voting by 5,000 votes?"
