II. A Pink-Haired Fellow

“What do you mean ‘yikes’?! And why are you taking pictures of people?!”

A pinkette exclaimed, a hint of annoyance in her voice. 

 I walked closer to the girl and took the strap off my camera, showing her the picture I took of her;  She had an awfully contorted mug in that picture, a picture that no guy could call ‘cool’.

The girl gasped covered her moth with her free hand, then went to pressing every button on the side like crazy. “H-Hey! How do you delete this?!” She sputtered, I put my hand on hers to make her stop, for which she snatched away.

The only thing her pressing did was zoom in further to her ugly mug.

“D-delete it, please!” She pleaded. I then slowly looked up at the girl, studying the girl’s golden brown eyes and the color and style that she wore her uniform and hair. And the only thing that I could say was.

 “Hinamori Amu?”

 “Look, can you just please delete the picture?” 

My pink lips slightly curled into a smirk as I pushed up my glasses. I magically felt all the things I had on my chest lighten as I looked at the girl. 

 “H-Hey! Stop looking so hard at me like that!”

 “Hinamori Amu..” I stated, and watched closely as her face curled into a confused look. 

 "You’re dangerously fake, aren’t you?” I tilted my head and her face straightened, looking annoyed again.

 “Oh wow, that’s what you were going to say?” She mocked then turned around and holding her bag across her shoulder again and looked over it. “I don’t need fortunes, ok? Especially when it’s told to me by- “

 I impulsively grabbed her hand. “You’re not staying true to your heart’s egg!” I had no idea what I was even speaking about. Nonetheless, I held her hand up to my own heart and said something to someone I’ve never said to anyone before.

 “Will you please be my friend, Hinamori-san?”

 I walked speedily beside Hinamori Amu and entered the gates, it were as if she was trying to get away from me. A trail of a blush could be seen over my cheeks and nose like never before. 

 I couldn’t believe myself that I had said that to the coolest girl in Seiyo Elementary. 

Ever since she had enrolled in to the gigantic school 6 months ago she had started a buzz because of her distant and flamboyant attitude. There were rumors all around the school about her; some said that she moves from school to school because she overruns the school and they get shut down. 

 Others say that she beats everyone up in the schools.

 But from this distance, she doesn’t look like a tough character at all. I can tell that it’s just an act.

 “Hi-Hinamori-san!” I stuttered loudly, scurrying to her side again, but like always she chose to ignore the people that come up to her and answers very rudely. 

 “G-get lost! I told you I don’t want to be your friend!” She groaned, looking back at me with a glare as she walked.

 “But I do!” I inquired. 

 “But I don’t.” She countered. 

 It was like I could practically feel what her heart wanted.
