Stars, they burn brighter than the sun yet are so far away from the solar system. My star is out of reach from my solar system, leaving it dark and lonely. I have been admiring a star for a long time, and I promised to help this star thrive. Yet the more he burns, the further we drift apart. My name is Rui Kamishiro, and my solar system is coming to an end.
Tsukasa is such a beautiful boy who I've always been around. His aura burns like a thousand stars. His dreams are always in a close reach, and even I believe in him. We have been friends for a long time, he doesn't realise how far he's come. He is so important to me, and without him, my solar system will crumble into nothingness.
The sky was a dark, gloomy colour with no light being able to shine, but I was able to see rainbows of colours. This was the day I met Tsukasa. I was hiding in my secret sleeping spot where I hid to take a nap when all of a sudden, this random dude appeared. My first opinion of him was that he was a selfish childish kid. He was loud and obnoxious, and worse of all, he was interrupting my nap. " Please join me to become a star!" That was his first words he said to me. My heart lit up on such a cold day my heart felt warm and cosy, filled with joy. From that day on. I stayed with him to help him become a star. On the way we made many other friends along the way like emu and nene. I couldn't ever describe my feelings for Tsukasa, but I felt as if it was different from others. Which bring me to present day TODAY. What's so special about today, you ask. It's tsukasa's big audition. Even though this has nothing to do with me, it felt as if this was everything. I gave Tsukasa a massive hug and gave him a good luck air kiss as he entered the stage. As the auditon began, I couldn't take my eyes off him. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't even blink. His smile, the way he talks, his warm hugs. It all made me feel like a dark pit was inside me. Was it jealousy? Or maybe even loneliness? I clenched my chest from the agonising pain. I couldn't take it any more. This feeling was like falling in a never-ending pit of darkness with no possible escape. Tsukasa walked off the stage, but I wasn't ready to talk to him. This agonising pain worsened.
" How did I do?" Tsukasa asked me.
"Shut up," I said, clenching my chest.
"What?"
" Not everything is about you. You think you're all that when you're really just a child, YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A STAR!" I cried with tears streaming down my face.
Tsukasa trembled in shock.
"Y-yyou think i-i'm c-childish." He said with a stutter
"I-im s-sorry," tsukasa left with tears along his face. The feeling inside me worsened as if I'm further from the answer. I just stood there, crying. What did I just do?
