"A withered flower can't bloom without its light"

The Paleness of the sickness.

Shinda. Shinda. Shinda. SHINDA!
"Ah I'm sorry.. I must have fallen asleep again.. Sorry mei. ." Shinda replied with.
*a short milk white haired girl stood there angry with milk brown eyes glaring with a school outfit shinda seemed used to this.*
Meiko-chan I said I was sorry!..
"Hmph! You over sleep so much. Get up its time for lunch let's eat on the rooftop together shall we?" *shinda thought about it for a minute unsure if she wanted to, when she made up her mind she slowly nodded.* meiko smiled softly grabbing shinda's hand dragging her up on the rooftop both plopping on the bench sitting together, "Shinda-san you didn't bring food again?" Meiko frowned at her. shinda was lost in thought thinking about the first time they met, shinda was walking with an umbrella in the snow wearing a puffer jacket, I am not particularly fond or interested in love. If I had to sacrifice emotional peace for love I'd think I'd be okay with that. At least that's what I used to think.. I stood there staring at a girl sobbing under a dim light post after she just lost her girlfriend.. *shinda sighed and walked over to her putting the umbrella over her head to the stranger. Little did she know she would regret it.*"You'll catch a cold.." Shinda spoke with dimness in her dark blue eyes.. Which barely glowed sometimes. *the milk white hair girl turned her head over her eyes widening, her face went flushed on her pale snow White skin and ever since that incident between the two Meiko always bothered shinda eager to earn her love.* "shindaaa~ you there?" Meiko spoke, shinda blinked a few times gaining her composure back, ah yes sorry "meiko-chan.. I was lost in my thoughts" she replied. Meiko smiled softly and nodded, "welll~ do you wanna share a bento box? I see you haven't brought yours like always~!" *Shinda glanced at her for a quick second and shook her head* *Meiko looked at her and frowned* "shinda.. I want you to eat at least one thing.." *she let out a rice ball for her to take* *shinda stared at it for a second and sighed taking it eating it as she saw Meiko grin looking away.* "It isn't because I care about you I just hate the look on ur face.." She muttered..*Meiko grinned* "aww you do love meee~!" *Shinda glared at meiko* "you no I don't and won't." She spoke angrily, *Meiko frowned ignoring the words as she ate happily* *after a while the bell rang everyone went home* *Meiko ran as shinda was walking by herself launching herself on shinda hugging her behind* "awh you left me shinda-San! I'm hurt.." *shinda glared and scoffed in annoyance shoving the white hair girl off her* "what do u want Meiko.." *The black hair girl spoke* Meiko smiled warmly, "what? I can't walk with my soon to be girlfriend? ~" *shinda glared at her sharply* "I won't be your girlfriend." *she continued walking ignoring the white hair girl* *Meiko frowned and walked with shinda* "shinda-san when will u accept my love?" The white hair girl asked with curiosity. *Shinda stopped in her tracks* "I won't that's the thing u don't understand, I don't need ur love, the only reason I helped u that day in the snow was simply out of pity. Not because I like you." *shinda walked leaving the poor girl standing there* *Meiko put her head down almost seeming as if she was going to cry.. She clenched her fists and walked the other way over to her house* *shinda glanced back thinking it was odd that the white haired girl didn't chase her.. Maybe she got the hint she thought and continued walking* she got to the door of her house unlocking it taking off her boots putting it next to the door, unwarping the scarf on her neck hanging it up on the hook with her jacket. She felt a sharp pain in her heart aching as she dropped to her knees. "Why.. Do I feel so.. Bad? Was it what I said..?" her heart ached. She decided to text her to apologize since she couldn't in person.. *she picked up the phone and hesitated if she should or shouldn't but she decides she will.* "Hey.. I'm sorry about what happened.. I just Wasn't in the mood.." *she texted waiting for a reply and she saw that she saw the text.. But she never replied.. Why should I care I thought, she doesn't matter to me but. . Just in case I'll come over to check. . shinda sighed and put her winter clothes back on walking over to her house she saw that the crack of the door was slightly open.. So she went in and saw Meiko passed out on the ground?! She quickly went over to where she was at realising she had a fever.. She picked the laying girl up placing her in her bed grabbing a wet towel and placing it over her head sighing looking at the laying figure of the girl sitting on the chair next to her bed not knowing why she cared so much. She saw as the girl slowly opened her eyes, Meiko groaned as she had a pained headache wondering where she was glancing over seeing shinda, she spoke in a strained ish voice, "shinda why are you here? What happened?.."
Shinda sighed and explained the situation. Meiko smiled that usual soft smile "so u really do care. That's  a relief.. " *she smiled sweetly*
