"Why does everyone I love, love her? What's so good about her anyway?! Why is everyone choosing her over me...." Yuriko screamed at Theo while having an emotional breakdown, leaning herself against the wall.
"She is just so...beautiful and pure. She has a kind heart too. her smile as well, it is contagious. Why can't you understand that? Why do you keep seeing all the cons about her? Why can't you focus on the goods? why are you such a negative person?" Theo shook his head, "We literally grew up together. She has always been so sweet and nice to you. She always offered a piece of her candy when she sees you crying or upset about little things. Did you forget about all that?" Theo looked away, trying to hold back his anger.
Yuriko glared at Theo, "Theo...I am your sister. We are related by blood. Kimberly...she is just a bitch we grew up with." She took her last shot trying to convince her brother.
Theo grabbed Yuriko by her collar, pushed her against the wall, and leaned in as if he was going to kiss her. She blushed, "Don't you EVER call her that."
Kimberly Sarah just moved to Toshi, Japan from England. Nobody in the suburban neighborhood knows anything about her past or why she had moved to Japan. All they know is that she is clearly not Japanese and she is astonishingly wealthy for a 6-year-old girl who lives with an old man who appears to be her grandfather.
Her mysterious background drew a lot of attention from the neighborhood, especially the boy next door.
He had grown quite fond of this little quiet girl after observing her day after night (he hates the word 'stalking'). Then one day, they finally found an opportunity to talk to each other.
And that, my fellow peeps, is the inevitable love story of Kimberly Sarah and Theo Kiraso.
