Connecting Stars

Third Person

Middle School Chapter was finally over. I was already missing my friends and especially Hana . she always defended me

, and has been there when i needed her!

I was fortunate to have at least one true friend. She's not like any other fake friend who just praises you & talks foul behind your back. I hate those kind

when I entered into my new high school & moving towards cafeteria, I saw a bunch of girls surrounding someone .

All those girls were chanting , Just like a trained pet parrot

"Jade is amazing."

"Oh Jade"

"Ah Jade"

"Jade!!"

All I heard was "Jade"

Who was that..I didn't know.

Then I looked closely and saw a Honey brown hair girl , with curls, Wearing a dress full of white laces. She was like some ojou they show in Anime

By looking at her , I guessed she was among those rich brat high school stereotype.

So I thought better stay away from her...

I was Holding a strawberry milkshake & chocolate waffles. I was so hungry that I bought five or six plates

I tripped on the floor & the whole milkshake was spilled on the floor. My dress had developed some stains & I was embarrassed to get up. Everybody was staring at me. I looked down and was trying to get up.

A girl with silky purple died hair giving me hand to get up

, who looked like Fashionable athlete and could totally go as a model for the front picture of a fitness magazine!

She grinned "take my hand"

"Uhh...thanks..." i shyly murmured

"Oh wait..not in that way..I'm straight, sorry!" she laughed

"No..I didn't think in that way" I frowned , trying to get up

Then I walked towards and bent and repeated thank you for five times

"Ah that's fine" she said

"You know what? You look really Cute!" I was quite flattered .

Only my Aunt says that squeezing me , and i don't mean i don't like to be called that . It just makes me think i'm gaining weight even though they don't mean it.

Hana said that before but next , she would be like "Just kidding"

I asked "Seriously? Ah I know you must be kid-"

"no . I am not. You' look pretty that i could stare a whole day at you!" she said "I am Michiko you can call me whatever you like. " She flipped her hair

"You're exaggerating miss, michiko" I dusted my dress , leering at her.

I and Michiko got close real quick! It was just five minutes before I arrived the school. "At this rate I may become so popular" I the thought made me cringe, as i enjoy my solitude, but also , weirdly happy.

Michiko and I were heading towards library . My heart started to pound like it's going to come out on seeing a person who resembled someone very familiar ... that somebody

...

It was Him...

,

Makoto

...!

I smiled and tried to wave my hand to him, but stopped in half way as I was too shy & wasn't sure if he remembers me

.

Michiko rushed to the library , trying to race me till there , and she bumped into Makoto

...

"Hey boy..watch where you're going" she shouted

"Um..Excuse me but wasn't it you who was running?" Makoto glared at her

.

"Oh yeah, Talking back at me. Well this is Hallway , and One can move about freely as they like! Looser!" She screamed she flipped her hair again and walked towards me

...

"He is so annoying " she complained .

I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to defend him and leading her to know that I have a crush because I wanted to keep it as a secret & she is anyway a person I just met.

We spent the whole day laughing, chatting & talking

, and little gossips about teachers and staff. she really is impressive imitator. I have to admit, She's interesting & attractive.

She sits next to me in the class

, throw chits and when i say we're in class, she says "Oh Chizu, you're such a nerd lol!" I find it funny someone assuming i am a nerd , especially a Bookish or science geek. They should see my grades, literally.

I actually wanted to get closer to Makoto but somehow ended up being with her the whole day., the whole week soon!

.....

But to be honest, I was feeling happy to make a new friend

,

All though Things started to change a little bit.

It seemed like I was too happy to have her as a friend that I actually did all her chores

!

I returned her books to the library, I carried her bag., Did almost all of the project alone which we should actually have done together.... she's vain & such a pain, but a friend..

"It's common to help a friend " I said to inner self which was predicting something ...bad

!

Days started to change even more. She was asking me how she looked , how she sings, how pretty she is

, rate her on the scale of 1-10, and other bizarrely ridiculous things.

It was obvious that she wanted a positive answer

, something pleasing.

I began to praise her as I didn't want to loose her

She gets down just so i can bring her high

"I look..teribble !"

"Nooo you look gorgeous!"

"I sing so horrible!"

"Your song is awesome"

" I'm freaking ugly "

"NOO you are so beautiful"

I had to good to her at least once a day

.

My head hurts from the amount of face-palm i do.

It would be a great grammar lesson of sentence formation....

She always messes with other guys. Looking at her laughing with other guys, I felt a bit bad because in the group of guys she always chats, has Makoto & she looked talking to her which naturally made me a bit jealous but i didn't show .

They looked happy , which killed me inside, Bitter than a Lemon Peel.

I even said unexpected things like

,

.... "You and Makoto make a good pair"

Everyone says that but why did I say that? I didn't know why I was doing that .

She always blushes & freaks out and almost hits me on the face, which is her way of getting embarrassed , when I say that and says "oh don't be silly" she was enjoying it. It looked like I was enjoying too

.

But deep down I felt horrible

.

Saying things you never wanted to feels really bad

.

I was so disgusted of myself

.

I thought I was such a..

Hypocrite.
