The Red Dewdrop on A Spiderweb

The Spider Caught The Fly

This is the time that I have been waiting for..

I am going to eat lunch with Raven! He is the first friend I have ever had!!

I think I'm going to EXplode!! This excitement.. it.. makes me..

Oh screw it! I'm excited! That's it! Period!!

The bell rang as a sign for dismissal.

I put all my things inside my bag, took my lunch out and headed for the canteen.

Before I can even enter the canteen, i felt someone cover my eyes from behind.

"Ah!" I screamed out of shock.

I touched the hands to see who was covering me.

Suddenly the hands uncovered my eyes.

"Hey, its just me."

It was Raven! I was really shocked..

"Sorry for scaring you." he said grinning at me.

"Its f-fine. It happens to me naturally when somebody scares me." I said to him, eyes still as wide as a tarsier.

(I really regret the touching the hand part >///<)

"Come, let's find a seat so we can eat now."

"O-ok.." i replied back.

We found a vacant table at the corner.

We sat down, on our chairs which faced each other.

Raven started talking.

"I can't believe I'm eating lunch with you."

I stared at him.

"W-why.? I-is something wrong?" I asked..

He looked at me with an anxious look.

"What!? No! Nothing at all! Actually I'm really happy.."

"Why so?" I asked again.

"Well.. no one really eats lunch with me.. they're always busy." he replied.

I stared at him still with a blank face when he suddenly answered

"Good thing you agreed to eat with me. I guess we'll be really good friends." he said smiling at me with his amethyst eyes shining as the sun striked at them..

I suddenly felt an unusual kind of happiness..

So this is what it feels if you're important to a person..

I've never felt such importance before..

So this is what it feels to be important..

To have a friend..

I smiled back to him..

A smile I have never showed to anyone..

A smile of real happiness..

"You look beautiful when you smile Arachne.." he told me..

My cheeks began to burn. I hid my awkward face behind my bangs as I lowered my head down. I don't want him to see my face.

I just went with the flow of my head(not my heart).

"B-beautiful? I'm not beautiful. I've never been beautiful!"

Seriously, I don't think I am beautiful.

These red eyes, very long black hair.. I'm also too pale, and I have freckles on my cheeks.
