The Willow Tree

With out you

MIIKO,S P.O.V

Miiko set on a branch of the Willow Tree. Letting the sun sparkle on her face. She always thought she was different from everyone to different. Like for starters she didn't have normal eyes. She had to different colored eyes one was blue and the other was hazel. Most of her life people made fun of her saying things like "Don't get to close. That girls creepy!" Or "That's definitely not normal!" All there words hurt her no matter how hard she tried to ignore them. Another thing different about her was her hair. Her hair was white but not much people seem to mind. Touma also had the same hair which made her happy that she wasn't alone. Well use to be happy.

Not many things sparked her attention. Nothing really made her happy. She could probably say the only thing that makes her feel happy is the Willow Tree. As she thought of the Willow and Touma she heard a small meow. Looking down her eyes landed on a little kitty. Baboo makes her happy. She climb down only to pet the cat that laid in the grass bathing in the sunlight like he did often. Baboo was a cat that's always lived in the willow tree . When Touma and Miiko first discovered the willow tree Baboo was the tiny kitten they found in the tree. And the only reason we named him Baboo was the meow he did. He would always meow Baboo, so it felt alright to name him that.

Looking at her phone she noticed she was late for school. Great on my first day of high school and I'm all ready late. She thought grabbing her bag and I running into the woods. As I ran I spotted a apple tree. I haven't eaten breakfast yet and an apple is always a good way to start off a day. So without thinking she climbed the tree making her way up to the reddish apple she saw. As she reached for it her leg slipped causing her to fall. As she fell she kept thinking she would land hard on the ground but actually she landed on something that helped her break her fall. It was a person. Oh great first I'm late now I'm landing on people. She heard groans coming from beneath her. She set up still on the person trying to find her locket.

She wore a locket her brother gave her right before he passed. He told her it used to be their mother's and he was supposed to give it to Miiko when she got a little older. Inside it had a picture of Touma when he was 7 and a picture of Miiko when she was 5. That locket meant everything to her and the thought of losing it terrified her.

"Do yo-you mind ge-getting off of me..." A raspy voice said from below. I looked down noticing I was still on the person I have fallen on. I jumped to my feet watching as the person slowly got up. It was a boy. It was a boy and he was cute. He brushed himself off looking up at me. "I'm so sorry-I-I-I didn't mean-to- land on you - I didn't see you and-." The boy cut me off. "No it's ok really I didn't think other people knew about this path. I should of been paying attention to were I was going." He said shining a warm smile. "Hey do you go to Otsuka University?" He asked examining me. He picked up his bag and looked at the sky closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before looking back at me. "Umm yeah I don't-I -I mean yes I go there. Why do you ask?" I asked nervously. I stared at the ground scared to face him. God I'm making a fool of myself. I sighed as I  finally looked up at him. "Oh if you want to we could walk there together. I go to the school too. But we really should  get to school we're going to be late." He pointed to his phone laughing at my reaction I made when I saw the time. "OH NO WE SHOULD GO!" I stammered picking up my bag motioning my hand for him to follow.
