A Forbidden Love

Chapter 1

It was an ordinary day with my best friend Goyo. He does seem to view me as more than a best friend but I can't see him as anything more than that. He has feelings for me.. I don't feel the same way though.. I try not to let it phase me too much since I have feelings for someone else. Yoshitsune. They are unexplained but I don't mind really. I mean he is so kind and caring and gentle. He is even really good looking. But everyone else just treats him as an outcast. The hated one. The unwanted. Everyone hates him but for some reason they all think there is something fishy about him. Why I don't know. But it bothers me. Like a lot. It brings out a defensiveness through me especially whenever girls around the town start talking smack about him. They would call him a nobody and the guys would call him a nobody and would spit spitballs at him and it makes me so mad. It makes me livid. I wanted their faces to say hello to my fist. Which is weird for me cause I'm not usually all that violent...

We were walking through town and we're having a friendly outing when all of a sudden Goyo grabs my hand and pulls me to a stop. I looked at him curiously. He gave me a mischievious smile and he pulled his hand out from behind his back and showed me a beautiful Sakura flower. He smiled and put it in his palms so I could look at the flower. It truly was beautiful. No denying it. It is our country's flower.
It was wisely chosen. He pinched it gently in his fingertips and he put it in the right side of my hair. He smiled at me for a minute too long while he had stopped and took a step back to admire me. He smiled again and said,"It suits you. It adds to your undeniable beauty. You truly are beautiful." He said smiling and at the end when he said I was beautiful his cheeks turned a slight rosy shade. I smiled back and twirled a lock of my hair nervously and said,"umm why thank you. That is very sweet of you." He smiled at me and grabbed my hand and pulled me to a bench under a Sakura tree in the park and sat me down on the bench. We sat there in silence for a while until we saw someone coming towards us. My whole world froze. My eyes locked with his. His locked with mine. The world stopped rotating at that moment. It was our moment. He flashed me a smile that made my breath hitch in my throat. I swear I can't breathe. I smiled back and I swear I could feel my face going red. His smile grew wider. Yep I was blushing. Nice. Way to make myself look like a total idiot. Ugh face palms.
