bleh, this chapter's really short too. i'm hoping the next one will be longer. i'm pretty sure it will be.
disclaimer: i do not own NG Life. it belongs to (gonna kill this spelling. i apologize) Mizuho Kusanagi. (is that right?)
Today I'm going to find away to make you mine, Sirix. I will not take no for an answer. Even if it takes my whole life, I will find you in the next one and show you how much I care about you.
Sirix and Serena have been closer than ever lately. It's rare to find them without the other by their side. I should be glad Sirix is happy...but I'm not...I feel selfish for hating his happiness...but I do. I can't stand seeing them together. I'm known for my free spirited happiness but right now I'm too focused on my love for Sirix to be that way.
Mount Vesuvius has been strange lately...maybe it'll erupt. That wouldn't be good. For multiple reasons. Maybe Sirix and I aren't meant to be...no. No, that can't be true. That's a lie and I know it. Some day he'll love me back. I'm sure of it. I'm sure of it...
Sirix and Serena invited me to go somewhere with them. They said it was something fun but I'm not sure how fun it'll be, what with Serena hanging on to Sirix's arm the whole time. Everywhere I look there are happy people, all in love and with simple lives. I stick out like a sore thumb here. I don't see why they invited me. Maybe it was to be nice…but maybe it's because they know about my feelings for Sirix and are making fun of me. That's probably not it.
"Loleus! Are you with us?"I blink multiple times as Sirix snaps his fingers in my face. Oh I must've been zoning out…
"Oh, sorry. I was lost in thought." I reply smiling. It's only half forced. Sirix is practically standing against me. How can I be faking happy when he's so close?
"We've been trying to get your attention for a while. You walked into a column a little while ago." He said, chuckling slightly.
"What? A column?" I then became aware of pain all over the front of my body. I guess I did walk into a column. Weird…how did I not notice? Was I really thinking that hard? Or maybe I was distracted by Sirix and his beautiful golden brown hair…and his strong body…and his stern yet kind smile…
"Loleus you're doing it again."
"Ah! Sorry…" I felt my cheeks turn red. Twice in one day. They're going to think I'm losing my mind or something. Sirix smiled, his great smile, and jokingly punched me in the arm.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not like you did anything wrong."
"Alright." I looked behind him and noticed that we were missing a certain women. "Where's Serena?"
"Oh she uh….ran off a little while ago." He said, nervously rubbing the back of his head.
"What? What do you mean 'she ran off'?"
"Well I don't quite know exactly why, but a little while ago she just turned and ran off. She seemed upset and I think she may have been crying. I've been looking for her since but I can't seem to find her. That's why I got your attention. I was hoping you could help me look."
"Of course. Which way did she go?"
