Kaminari's Pov.
The day went on. He gathered what he could. The team making the shelters made lunch, it was delicious. They also made dinner, it was also delicious. It felt like everything was on fast forward for him...
At the moment, they were telling scary stories.
IzuOcha already went to their tent.
He wasn't completely paying attention. Kyoka was sitting next to him.
Next it was Tsu's turn.
There was a girl who wasn't satisfied with her looks. She wanted to be like all her friends who she deemed beautiful. One day she found a beauty hack online. You get a bag of sesame seeds and sit with it in a bath for five hours to make your skin nicer. So on her way back from school she bought some. She told her mom that she was going to skip dinner and take a nice long bath. Her mom agreed, thinking he was just talking about an hour or so. So she put all the seeds in the bath and got in it. She didn't really know what to do so she fell asleep for little while. Her mom started banging on the door, saying that she had been in there long enough. The girl start to move, but instead felt searing pain! The water had opened her pores so much, that the sesame seeds were stuck in them.
'I'm glad I'm not a girl...'
Kyoka left the group and went off on her own.
'Why did Kyoka leave?'
He left her on her own for a little while but after a long time passed, he went to find her.
"Kyoka!" he called when he was out of the group's earshot, "Kyoka?"
"What is it idiot?" she reponded.
"Why did you leave the group?" he walked over to her.
"I just... needed some time to think..." she sighed.
"About what?" he asked, sitting next to her.
"Why do I need to tell you?" Kyoka answered him with a question.
"I want to know more about you," Kaminari replied honestly.
Kyoka sighed.
"I was just thinking about that last story..." she started, "The girl in it reminded me so much of well... me."
"How so?" he turned to look at her.
"Well... I feel like I would've fallen for something like that," she looked away.
"Why? Are you unsatisfied with your looks?" Kaminari questioned.
Kaminari thought she was going to say something like "Stop being so nosy idiot!", but instead she just didn't respond for a few minutes.
"Every other girl in our class is just so... beautiful... but then there's me," Kyoka still didn't look at him.
"Sing a song for me," Kaminari had an idea spark in his head.
"Right now?" she looked a little confused and then crossed her arms, "And right after I told you my inside thoughts?"
"Yeah," Kaminari nodded his head, "I want you to sing "Pretty's on the Inside"."
Jiro's Pov.
She never would've expected him to say that... it was... nice...
'But he's just so... perverted... when did his thinking change? When did I miss that?'
Her head was spinning, spinning with questions that were probably never going to be answered.
He looked at her patiently waiting for her to start singing.
Jiro was still kinda taken aback, but then she started, not feeling so confident...
I don't look like her
She's in all the magazines
So much prettier than me
You don't know it hurts
Staring at my iPhone screen
Watching others live their dream But mama, she said to me
One day my love, you'll see Pretty's on the inside
See it in your own eyes
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
Pretty's on the inside
But I can't tell my own mind
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
That pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside I don't like myself
But maybe it's all in my head
And I am not the words I've said
These images they sell
Maybe none of it is real
And I could love the way I feel'Cause mama, she said to me
One day I swear you'll seeThe pretty's on the inside
See it in your own eyes
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
The pretty's on the inside
But I can't tell my own mind
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
That pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside'Cause mama, she said to me
Don't live in jealousy
And mama she said to me
You'll see it eventuallyThe pretty's on the inside
See it in your own eyes
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
The pretty's on the inside
But I can't tell my own mind
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
The pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Surprisingly... she felt so much better...
She looked back to Kaminari, he was smiling at her. Not a smirk, a genuine smile.
"Jiro... If there's anything I've learned from you over this year... It's that pretty's on the inside," he told her.
Surprise jolted through her! He used her last name! Even if it was a one time thing... she knew that he was being serious when he said that.
Jiro blushed, and hopefully he couldn't tell because it was so dark...
"Thanks Kaminari..." she looked away, "That... really helped..."
"Of course," he stood up and held out a hand for her, "Maybe we should get back to the others before they start to worry.
Jiro hesitated a little bit, putting it out, but she drew it back.
'No, I trust him.'
She took his hand and he pulled her to her feet.
"Oh, and also," Kaminari started, "You aren't like the girl in the story. You're much smarter."
He wasn't saying it sarcastically.
"I don't know..." she trailed off as they started walking back.
"You're smarter, don't worry," Kaminari inisted.
Before they got back to the campsite, she realized that she was still holding his hand. She let go immediately. She felt her face heat up for some reason, but she pushed herself to make it go back to normal.
'What is this... feeling..?'
