Chapter 2

( A/N : A new character here- Edward Allen )

"Hey! That's my portion of cake!" the blonde yelled.

"But, what is yours is mine too.." a boy with blue eyes answered, and smirked.

" Huh. And how is that ?" the blonde asked, with a little reddish spots on chin.

The boy looked at her, then continued chewing with closed eyes, " You forgot what your mother said about us-good cou-"

" CUT IT ! She is just crazy!" the blonde was really embarrassed. If it was a few years ago, she would have hurt the boy in the meantime. But time had imposed a little maturity in her, so it was just limited in shouting.

The boy started to laugh. Then she too. A whole minute, then the boy said, " Let's go now, Miyu. It's late already.."

" Whoa! 8 pm!" Miyu jumped. They came out from the luminous restaurant, and started walking down the road.

" Thanks, Ed" Miyu said softly.

"Eh ? And what for ?" Edward smirked again, It is like a habit, while with Miyu.

" At least I had a chance to rejoice on my birthday" Miyu answered sadly. " Mom and Dad..."

Ed came forward and placed hands on her shoulders. " Come on Miyu. They have to do a lot of works, and a new mission means total dedication for success. You should be proud.. and" he smiled, " you are no more a kid! It is nothing like they are going very far and not returning! Just today is the matter!"

They were almost near their apartment. "Bye, then" Ed bid a good night. So did Miyu. Then she watched him going. Blue eyes, reddish brown hair, black suit..

He is really so... good.

Thought she, and smiled. Then slowly went to her room. A lone night. She could have spent the night with him, but, something restrained him. She would not do without telling her parents. Was that the only reason ?

She surfed the channels on TV for a few minutes. Then went to bed, but, could not sleep.

What's the matter ? Am feeling so restless.. well I am alone, but nothing to fear here in a familiar crowded place..NO. It is not fear.

She shook her head. Then sighed. Suddenly a new thought stroke her.

Is it for Him ? Ed?

Edward Allen. That boy she met at school two years ago. He was so stunning, and so good to her all the time.. Everything changed since then.

She nodded. It was not the first time she had dinner with him. There was something else... this loneliness was telling something.. she never wanted to hear. Since she was in America, life went too noisy, both at school and home.

On slow paces, she made it to the balcony.

Huh? Rain? On March ? It's a drought season !

She stood there. watching the rain. Suddenly she felt depressed, for no reason. Then the sky became clear, starry. But she saw something else. A porch.. a brunette.. a small child..

" Ruu.. Wanya...Kanata.." she whispered. How did she forgot ? Was life so busy to forget the BEST moments of her life ?

She stood, still. A lot of memories. A lot. However, they left for home. Otto. And.. HE..

Well that was perhaps, a silly crush to get over. Now get to sleep, baka !

Perhaps...

(Well, that is it, until next chapter.. How was this ?)
