"You and Riko Sakurauchi have been friends ever since, you were six and have been inseparable ever since then but, then what will happen if you find out that Riko is moving away?! What will you do without her by your side?!"
"It all started when, you were just eight years old. Rin Hoshizora and your best friend ever since you were six, Riko Sakurauchi were all at the playground, having the time of your lives. Everything seemed perfect as long, as you were with Riko. She had always been there for you. She was kind to you and you were kind to her. You two were as close as, siblings and even, lived right next to each other. You were sitting on the bench talking to Riko while, the other girls were on the tall, colorful playscape. You were chatting, happily with her until, you heard the sound of an ice cream truck, nearby. You turned around in excitement and pointed to the large, white truck parked outside of the fence of the playground. "Look! The ice cream truck! I have some money on me, so, I'm gonna go grab some for us! Bye, Riko!" You chirped as, you got up and dashed over to the truck. Riko waved from behind you. You knew Riko, so well, that you didn't even, need to ask her what flavor she wanted. You wanted vanilla and she wanted strawberry, just like always. You walked over to the ice cream truck but, before you could even, open your mouth to explain what flavors you were gonna get yourself, Riko and your other friends, some tall, teenagers around seventh or eight grade cut in front of you in line.
"Hey, kid! Move out the way!" A tall boy with ginger, red hair growled. You frowned. You were scared since, you were only in second grade and this boy was probably in seventh or eight grade. He was much taller than you, too. You began to sweatdrop, fearfully.
"Umm... I-I'm sorry... I was just gonna get some ice cream for my friends and I." You explained, innocently. One of the boy's friends gave you a dirty look.
"Well, so what?! We get to go in front because, we're older!" A girl with brown hair and blonde at the tips of her hair, added. You had no clue what to do at this point. These teens had just cut in front of you in line and they were much taller than you.
You gulped. "W-well, i-it's not very nice to cut in front of someone, in line." You stuttered, nervously trying to make a point and get them to go behind you so, that you could grab your ice cream and leave. The tall red haired kid turned around and shot you a threatening glare. His cold, light blue eyes were intimidating you.
"You said something, kid?!" He pressed at you, in anger. You gulped, much louder. You just wanted to have a good day at the playground with Riko and your friends but, these teens sure, weren't having it with you.
Before, you could pop your lips open, to apologize, the boy slapped you across the cheek. Soon, enough you began to cry. No one had ever bullied or slapped you, before. Your cheek began to turn as, red as Riko's hair and in a matter of second's it was swollen. "Ow!" You cried out. The brunette girl then, grabbed you by the collar of your (Favorite Color) T shirt and threw you onto the grass-filled ground, making the back of your shirt catch some dirt on it.
"This, young one, is what happens when, you mess with eight graders!!" The boy told you. He kicked your stomach, roughly making you cough. You wanted to cry for help.
"RIKO!!" You called out, fearing that she wouldn't hear your voice. You began kicking around as, the boy's friend kicked your back legs, roughly making you squirm around on the ground.
You gulped as, wet, cold tears formed at the corners of your eyes. "RIKO!! PLEASE COME AND HELP ME!!" You cried, once more. The ginger-headed boy laughed, sadistically.
"I don't know who 'Riko', is but, no one is coming to help you!" He snorted as, he yanked you upwards with your left arm. You stood up and suddenly heard footsteps. Is that Riko coming?! I sure, hope so! You thought to yourself with a glowing ball of hope inside of you. You began brushing off your clothes, covered in specks of brown dirt. Suddenly, you saw a long wave of dark, velvet red hair flow through the wind. You recognized who that was and knew right away that Riko was there!
You dashed up to your friend and hugged her. "Riko, I was gonna get us some ice cream but, those teens over there, were causing me trouble." You summarized. Her light, golden eyes widened in concern for you.
"R-really, (Your name)?! How dare they!!" shouted Riko Sakurauchi. Her first were balled up and bright red in the center. Riko turned the the boy and the girl but, her expression was so scary, angry and even, deadly that it freaked the two out and they dashed away, down the block and back to the original destination. Riko turned to you and smiled at you, brightly.
"Oh. (Y-your name), I have to tell you, something." The red head began. Your smiley expression then, dropped and froze to concern. Your (Eye color) eyes were full of fear. What did Riko need to tell you? Her expression was so serious, you knew something was wrong.
"I'm moving." Riko revealed as, sadness ran through her voice. Your eyes suddenly grew ten times wider. Riko was moving?! Where?! When?! Why?! She was your BFF! What were you going to do without her by your side?! This was tragic?! You knew this was gonna ruin your life and you didn't ever want to experience that but, sadly you'd soon have to.
"What?! Where are you moving?!" You pressed, anxiously with a wave of sadness grabbing you, instantly. Riko let out a long heavy sigh.
"I'm moving to Tokyo." She admitted. You crossed your fingers, hoping that that was still in the united states.
You bit the tip of your pink tongue. "Where is that?" You asked.
"It's in Japan. That's on the other side of the world." She explained, hopelessly. Tears began to flood in your eyes. You took a minute to remember all of the memories you and Riko shared, together. This was heartbreaking and just utterly sad. You didn't say anything you just threw your arms around Riko and cried into her chest, loudly. You two cried, your eyes out and just savored your last moment, together. What would you do without Riko-chan?!"
