''We're here!'' Yuka's over-excited voice pierced through Kaede's skull, waking her up from her light sleep. She opened her eyes before closing them quickly, due to the intense sunlight hitting her in the face.
She looked out the window. A cherry pink house of gigantic porportions loomed in front of them, accompanied by a stable and barn, with fields full of multicoloured flowers stretching out. It was beautiful.
A girl appeared. Looking around the same age as them, she was beautiful, stunning. The type of girl you'd want to date as a guy, and the type of girl you'd want to hate as a girl. Long, dirty blonde hair, ocean-blue eyes, and a smile that seemed to sparkle like the sun. She giggled, before laughing and running towards her friend, Yuka. They jumped up and down while hugging.
Suddenly,the girl broke from Yuka,and ran towards Kaede,who started pacing backwards as Yuka stopped her friend and whispered something in her ear. The rest of the gang listened eagerly, under the pretence of gathering their luggage from the car. Kaede wasn't really bothered, until she heard...
''Ah,so she is the one with the tripolar syndrome?''
Kaede's eyes widened, before slitting and scowling towards Yuka and her friend. Small "uh-oh's" we're heard behind her. Kaede slammed her bag on the ground before walking off to the nearby forest. She didn't know what was in the forest, and she didn't care.
Because right now, anywhere was better than here.

The forest was clear, with fresh, crisp air making up the air. Evergreen trees, both prickly and flowery surrounded her. The sun shone through the vast amount of trees and flora to a clearing, where a small stream lay, surrounded by nightshade. The sky, shrouded by trees, seemed to be much darker in here, making the forest intimidating, yet inviting, at least to Kaede. She walked to the clearing. She started to spin in the flowers, pirouetting and jumping...
And then a voice broke through the air. "Your dancing is beautiful."
Kaede gasped and fell backwards, the wind being knocked out of her as she did sat up, her hair wet from the stream, and gazed at the stranger. He was tall, about a year older than her, with a light English accent. He was wearing a black trench coat, complimenting his slim, lightly muscular frame. He had short, dark chocolate brown hair, with piercing ice blue eyes. He reached a hand out to her, grinning. "I'm Niklas."
If it was anyone else, Kaede would have dismembered them with her vectors. However, there was something about this one. It was weird, like she instantly trusted him. His eyes didn't invade hers as others did, they just met hers. It was like she didn't know him, and yet they had something in common. She took his hand, and he pulled her up. "k-Kaede, my name is Kaede. Thank you."
He grinned. "It's no problem. You don't look familiar to me. Are you new around here?"
And so they conversed for what seemed like only minutes, yet in reality, hours had passed. For the first time in months, Kaede was actually speaking to someone, and was laughing at what they said.
"...So, Niklas... " Kaede giggled. "What brings you here?"
He laughed. "I work at the carnival downtown. We come here for a month, then leave. However, it's fun! There's some really cool people down there."
Kaede smiled. "Really?"
Niklas smirked. "Maybe you should visit. It gets awfully lonely sometimes..."
Kaede chuckled nervously, blushing. He was flirting? She had never flirted. Oh god, she thought. "Hehe, maybe I will. Now Niklas, can you walk me home? It's quite dark."
And so, they walked together up to the cherry pink house. As she turned to say goodbye, he whispered in her ear.
"Visit me soon...Kaede..."
She smiled. "I will, Niklas. Very soon."
And with that, she walked inside.

Kaede was immediately greeted by a scowling Yuka and Tatumi, who was biting her nails. "Where have you been?!" Yuka demanded. "It has been three hours, Kaede! THREE HOURS!"
Kaede decided that she wouldn't let Yuka ruin this trip for her. Especially not for her and Niklas.
"And you still haven't gotten any from Kouta. Tut tut. Hesitant, are we?"
Even Tatumi couldn't help giggling. Yuka went blood red. "Bitch!" she shouted, running up the stairs.
"Love you too, Yuka!"Kaede called, smiling. She opened the door to find a suspicious-looking Kouta, who looked a little amused.
Kaede raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be comforting your girlfriend?"
Kouta bit his lip, before running upstairs after Yuka.
Kaede smiled. Maybe this trip would be good after all.
