Famous in a small town
Hat

Numanife ( Kat )
Okay number four. Life's getting harder for me, so I'll probably be updating less, mm'kay.
I yawned a bit, getting up from my bed. I looked at my alarm clock, then grabbed my hat, and slid it on my head. I got up and looked in the mirror. I love this hat, because what I went through for it. I sighed and looked in the mirror. I flipped the hat backwards, and put on a serious face. Then, grabbed a band-aid, covering the corner of my eyebrow. LOOK I'M SHISHIDO! I giggled, then grabbed my camera, and took pictures.
My laptop glowed a bit then some music played. I ran over and checked my email. Mukahi had emailed me twice, asking if I wanted to come hang with Hyoshi and him. The next said that Ohtori wanted to see me at the bridge at eleven. Which was in twenty minutes. I sighed, then replied, saying I'd go see what Ohtori wanted, since he was the shlit and I owed him one. Then, I sent him the pictures I took with a smirk.
I pulled off the band-aid and smiled, twisting the cap back around. Then, I ran out the door and jumped on my bike happily. I sand the song Forever and Always by Taylor Swift until I saw Ohtori, leaning on the bridge, waiting happily. He was always cute. Like, baby brother cute. Except never annoying.
I put my bike down and went up to him, "What's up Ohtori-kun?"
"Um, it's about Shi-san," Ohtori started.
"Okay, shoot," I told him.
"Well, I was wondering if something happened between you two. He's been a lot happier lately," Ohtori stumbled.
"Well, a little while ago, I took him to a music store, because it was closing. But that's about it. We don't get to hang out that often," I muttered.
"Oh, okay, I was only asking you because Shi-san isn't as open about these things." Ohtori stuttered. Aw, he's cute."Oh and one more thing."
"Go for it," I smiled, putting some pocky in my mouth.
"Do you like Shi-san?" I froze at the sudden question. I reached for my hat, not really knowing why, and unconsciously nodded. Then, cursing myself in my head. "Okay!" He smiled and patted my head.
"Don't tell anyone, though," I puffed my cheeks, feeling my face heat intensely.
"I won't," I smiled sweetly, and I hugged him. He was like my baby brother, the one I never got, because my parents couldn't handle it with our bad pay check. I don't know about now though.
"Choutaro, Kat-chan," I heard someone choke out. I turned around, letting go of Ohtori. Shishido looked at me and the Ohtori, a bit of anger flashed in his eyes, then turned around and ran, which sent my into an intense shock.
I noticed Ohtori run after him, and once Ohtori turned the corner, and shifted my feet, and ran quickly after them. I kept track of thier turns, and followed slowly, making sure Ohtori didn't notice. If one of them knew, I wouldn't ever understand why he was upset.
We reached a court, and I hid behind a close tree, listening closely.
"Go away, Choutaro, I don't want to talk to anyone right now. Have a happy life with Kat-chan." Shishido-san spat out, being very hot-headed, as usual.
"Happy life with Kat-chan?" Ohtori echoed, then continued, "Shi-san, we're just friends."
"Don't lie to me, Choutaro!" He yelled, startling me enough to cause tears to form, "I saw you two on the bridge!"
Ohtori was obviously extremely frustrated at his partner's ignorance to the way I felt, "She likes you! Not me! Not Atobe! Not Oshitari! YOU!" He yelled back, and it was completely out there that he thought I liked Atobe or Oshitari at one point.
I felt the tears start to spill out, dropping down my cheeks.
He took a while to think, then responded, "Really?"
"Yes! She's like my baby sister, even though she's older. Atobe and Oshitari probably feels the same way." Ohtori calmed down. I tryed to stop crying, but they just ended in sobs. I began to run off, my hat fell off my head, and I wanted to get it back, but I couldn't stay there.
*Shishido's P.O.V.*
I heard something sobbing behind the tree and the person ran off. I went behind the tree and noticed a red hat on the ground with purple under the shield of it.
My old hat.
*Kat's P.O.V.*
I ran into my room, dropping on my bed, then pulling the covers over me.
Great, Shishido knows I like him, and I may never get my hat back. The hat I loved more than my very existence. The boy I loved more than my hat.

I woke in the morning the way a girl should never on her birthday, cold and alone. My violet hair covered my red face, and my head pounded like a drum. I rolled over and buried my face in my pillow, until I heard music playing. I looked up and reached for my laptop, pulling up my email. I got several messages, all from a bunch of old Rokkaku friends. I thanked them all half-heartedly.
I slid out of bed to go eat breakfast, but ended up bringing it up to my room. I sat on my bed and began to eat my cheerios. Although, I don't feel very cheery.
The screen of my laptop flashed, catching my attention quickly. I clicked the tab open, and scrolled down. The email was unfamiliar to me. It was ''. None the less, I opened it and it read;
"Happy birthday, Kat-chan.
I have something for you. I'm outside your door, so come out after breakfast.
~MintyRed"
I questioningly stared at the screen, then finished eating quickly. I got up and ran down the stairs, putting the bowl away. I ran for the door, and I opened it slightly, then looked around, then spotted something in the corner of my eye. Shishido-kun standing against my tree, with my hat, and a small wrapped box in the other. He smirked at me, and pushed off the tree.
"Happy birthday, Kat-chan," He smiled, then pulled the hat onto my head, almost exactly like that boy from years ago. Then, he put a gift in my hands. I looked up at him. "Don't open it until I leave." He smiled and patted my head.
I smiled at him. What got into him? I don't know, and honestly, I don't care. I got up on my tippy toes and kissed his cheek.
That seemed to snap him back into his reality. He blushed a little and mumbled, "Yeah, well, happy birthday," then left.
I giggled and went inside. Running up to my room, I stared at the box. Then, flopped on my bed with a smile. I carefully took off the wrapping and lifted the lid.
My eyes widened at the sight of a medium sized jewelery box. I pulled it out and opened it, and listened to music play softly.
I hung up
The phone last night
Something happened
For the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush
What a rush
Cause the possibility
That you would ever
Feel the same way
About me
It's just too much
Just too much
Why do I keep running
From the truth
All I ever think
About is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When your all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy
Or falling in love
Is it really
Just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cuz im tryin tryin
to walk away
But I know this crush
Ain't goin' away
My face heated, and my eyes stung. I saw a small necklace on bottom of the box, so I pulled it out lightly. It was a light chain necklace, with a cute eighth note hanging off it. I pulled the hat down further on my head and smiled.
I'll stop there this time~! sorry for the lateness! Thanks!
