If fairy tales do really exist, I want to live it even if a day in my life.
A life with a person who I can depend with, a life with someone who I can look up to. A life where that person always be there for me…. no matter what happens, even if the world is against us.
I always believe in happy endings. I believe that there’s something between the complicated things among every people have. Although, not everyone has one on their life, yet I still think it happens sooner or later.
And a significant other, the one that fills the gap within our life; the one who will make you feel special each day pass…. I believe there’s something on it.
Right now, it’s only but a distant thought I have. It’s only a thing I want to experience sooner? No more than later, I hope?
The important thing is when you’re waiting for someone,. you must be the one who makes someone fill the gap to their lives.
And now…
“You forgot your textbook?”
In the mid-June of first year High-school, I saw a girl whose same age as me, looked troubled. She seemed forgotten something. “We can share, if you like?” I offered to her.
She’s a girl who has a short trimmed hair, like a pixie cut? I just took a glance at her, giving the vibrant of a cool woman. Her allure made me feel a little agitated to approach, but if I don’t, I won’t be able to connect with her.
“Thank you…” the girl timidly mumbled.
I nod at her and smiles. Our desks clamped together while sharing textbook and listens to the teacher. Tbis is the time I meet the girl with cool aura. Yukiyama Kagome.
She and I are different in all aspects: although I’m good in academics and sports, Kagome is an athlete and a member of basketball team. An ace captain of her team and everyone admires.
Everyone seems fond due to her looks alone, and here’s me, entranced by her cool beauty looks. I now know much why everyone is admiring her, especially the girls.
Yukiyama Kagome’s looks alone, can capture a maiden’s heart.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
It’s not that I am attracted to same sex. I feel something comfy about her.
From that day, I always exchange greetings with her. She always been a little reluctant to greet me, yet I don’t mind it at all.
We also chats a little. Kagome seems timid towards me, but is a good fellow classmates to others. She’s also a hardworking girl to her club. I admire her as a fellow student.
I feel like there’s no need for me to look for someone to be by my side. As long as I get along with people around me, they will be there when I need them, and how they need me.
Or that’s how it was supposed to be?
That certain day someone harassed me on my way to school, none of those people ever stand up to protect me. I thought if I become someone who can rely by everyone, I can rely on them as well.
Yet, on this situation I feel all alone, helpless and weak.
I can only detest the person harassing me within my mind; I can’t find a courage to tell him to stop. I want someone to lean on this situation. I want someone to take me away, to free from this perversion act.
I want someone to reach out, and I thought the face of Kagome. If she’s here, will she be able to help me? I know she will. She’s my friend, despite of us exchanging little greetings every morning in classroom.
I need her… I need Kagome. I need someone to help me. Kagome. Kagome…. help me.
“Hey!”
A voice.
An unfamiliar voice echoed in the middle of the eerie silence. A person who I even not know appear right before my eyes. A young man, his face showing anger.
I don’t know, but my heart suddenly throbs fast after I saw his looks. There’s something in me that draws on him. We arrived at the next station; the door opens and the man suddenly runs off. The young man follows, as I saw his uniform wearing same as mine. We both attending same school.
At that moment I want to follow him, but the commotion of the crowd doesn’t let me. I need to get off here now, else I won’t be able to catch him up.
My heart still doesn’t stop thumping fast. I feel agitated and somewhat anxious to see that man again. The person who suddenly go on my way, reaching to my plea.
It might just be a coincidence, or happen that person has a sense of justice on him. It might be like that… yet.
The molester apprehended and I gave a statement against him. It should be enough to teach him a lesson.
Everything settled down.
But not my heart. It still doesn’t calm down. I want to know who that person is. I want to know why my heart still pound like this? I want to understand everything…
He’s there; my benefactor, standing, looking troubled. He doesn’t seem to know what to do next. So I came by his side and asked.
From there, everything changed. The moment I saw his face, my heart throbs faster than before. Why? Why is this happened? Is it because he’s my benefactor? Is it because of the event that I wish to cling on someone?
Maybe that is all about. But even so…
Why do I feel embarrassed approaching him? It’s not like I’m in love. No, there’s not such thing as love at first sight. He doesn’t even that handsome at all.
But my heart still doesn’t stop pounding fast. Then, the thought I have before settled in my mind once again. If fairy tales does exist, I want to live my life once like that.
On that certain day, I understand. What does happy ever after even mean all about. It’s not about ending of the story, but the beginning where you think the ending is the last part of everything.
And on that day, I, Kei Sakagami, found the Knight in Shining Armor on the person named Kira Miyamoto.
