First Lady | Mikey

First Love.

Mikey's pov

My life was very simple. I had a big brother, little sister and a grandpa who raised me. I had three friends and one of them is Baji. He's my neighbor and he always picks a fight with me but he never wins. I can say I'm strong because my grandpa always trained me in our dojo.

That's my everyday life. Fighting with Baji, playing with my friends, training with grampa, watching my big brother fix a bike. I used to like it that way. But I never thought there's someone who will light up my life more.

I was just walking around after school. I don't want to go home because I had an argument with my big brother. But it's natural for us, I just need to cool down. I was about to walk past this playground, when I saw this little girl wearing a pink dress.

I don't know how she got my attention when she's only busy picking up flowers while she puts them in her basket... cutely. Wait, what?

I touched my left chest, feeling my heart beating crazily. What the hell is this?

She's so small and her pink dress really suits her. Her hair was short and had bangs up to her eyebrows. And her face was probably the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. It's small and looks so innocent. Her features look so foreign. I swallowed when I saw her bit her lower pink lips, holding her smile when she finished picking up flowers. Sh*t, what is this feeling?

I looked around and I'm not the only one who's looking at her. Even the boys who stopped playing basketball and decided to just watch her. Anger builds inside me, I don't know but, I want to watch her alone. These assholes!

She's drawing too much attention by just picking up flowers. I decided to walk to get near her. I stopped when a boy approached her. She smiled at him and gave him a flower crown in the head.

She smiled but I wanted her to just smile at me. F*ck, what the hell are you saying, Manjiro?! I clench my fist while watching them.

The boy looks like my age but he's taller than me. Tch, so what? I can easily knock him down. And he looks like a foreigner or half Japanese.

"It suits you Cuz!" She said and her voice sounds like an angel. I want to hear it more.

I sighed in relief. It's her cousin, what are you thinking, Manjiro?! Why do you act like this?

While I was arguing with myself, I didn't notice that they're already gone. My eyes immediately found her and I saw she already entered the car and left. Damn it!

I came home sullen and looked out of mood. My system is a mess and I feel like I'm going crazy because I think I'll never see her again. I felt scared and I don't know why.

"Earth to Mikey?!" I heard my brother shout in my ear and I jumped in surprise.

"Bro what the hell?!" I yelled at him and he just laughed.

"What, wanna fight again?" He asked, wearing his playful smirk.

"Don't wanna, I'm tired." I said I started to walk in my room.

"What's the problem, Manjiro?" He asked again and I stopped walking then looked at him with an annoyed look. "Oh, girl problems." He said and my eyes widened.

"How did you-?"

"My instincts bro, instincts..." He said looking proud.

I ignored him and opened the door in my room. I lay down on my bed and covered my eyes using my arms. Everytime I close my eyes, the image of that girl from earlier is what I see. Why do I want to see her again, and why is my heart still beating? Ah, I will forget about her, right?
