Mikan

They were surprised that I was awake the whole time. I'm light sleeper ever since my mother died. I would make sure that at night my father wouldn't abuse me when I was sleeping and if he did, I will run out trying to hide somewhere until daybreak. Daybreak was the only thing that kept me save from his job of being a teacher. Teacher abusing his own kid was something no one would expect.  But that's my father for you.

Hotaru stopped in her footstep and I felt her clench her fists, trying to hold in something deep. I knew she was crying, and felt hurt. Making me wonder what she was hiding from me.

"Hotaru.."

"Why do you act like you know me? We just met baka." She covered her mouth when she insulted me by calling me a baka. The word that linked us together as kids.

*Flashback*

 It all happened before my mother's death. Mother and I were walking beside the path near the hill where we saw a lonely girl drawing. It seemed to us that she was hiding from her parents or someone in a way. She had a bag next to her filled with different pieces of invention and on her drawing, she had a cute little penguin on it. Like she was going to build it someday.

I was first nervous to talk to her but my mother gave me the courage by pushing me into talking to her. All it started with the word she mumbled baka. I remembered my reaction when I crawled into a ball and pouted. It was a fast reaction, that was building on. My mother in the other laid down smiling at us. She was resting from her sickness. No one ever told me exactly what it was but I had a feeling that I didn't want to know.

Hotaru and  I continued to talk and the more I talked to her, I started to learn many interesting things about her. She was so mysterious in some way but I felt warm around her. I was glad of actually talking to someone. Tho the person I actually felt happy to talk to always happens to tease me on everything.

"You don't have to be mean about it. I already know. But that makes us, us. "

"I guess your right about that. Maybe you aren't as much of a baka at all."

"Is that a compliment?"

"Maybe or maybe not?'

"Is that so? Then what about we be friends?"I giggled at her vowing that no matter what happens, we will always be friends. No matter the cause.

"If you insist I guess.,I can be your friend..but it will cost you." I thought at first that she was joking about that but she actually was bribing me into this! I remember crying into my mothers arms whining that Hotaru was bullying me.

"Easy there sweetie." My mother rubbed my back with the same fake smile she always gave me. For some reason when Hotaru saw that, she glared at my mother. Something didn't feel right.

*Flashback ended*

"Hotaru...what happened to you?'

"None of your concern." Her bangs were covering her violet caring eyes she used to give me. Her simile I used to make her have, were all filled with deep darkness.
