''Oh my Gawd I'm gonna be late!! ''
I'm running like a histeric through the street, my friend Natsumi is not the type of person to like being left waiting, she can get REALLY mad...
(I think I can make it to the main street, I'm not that late after all, I still have some time, and so we can arrive at school without getting into troubles...).
As I'm about to reach the main street, I suddenly stop, the giant TV screen on one of the skyscraper walls caches my attention, there is quite a lot of them, I live in the most popular town of our country after all, but that doesn't mean I can rest assured, life is really hard here.
The big TV screen is showing an interview between the journalist and a young man.
(Waah...he is... gorgeous...)
My jaw dropped when I saw him, he has a cold yet calm expression on his face, he talks really seriously, and I don't want to look away...he is so...so handsome... way too handsome to be real!
The young man has dark blueish hairs which are glowing, and has beautiful bangs that cover his forehead, his eyes are a little bit darker than his hairs, but I can see them shinning , he is wearing a dark suit, his skin is pale, he is sitting on his chair in the luxurious TV set...just like a king...
(My God, he is really imposing...if I keep watching I'm gonna have a nosebleed....) And I can't help but notice that the people in the streets stopped to listen to him and watch him, a lot of them are smiling and talking about him too...I don't really know why though...is it because he is so handsome?
I'm not falling in love like in those romance simulation games I play, please don't get the wrong idea, it's just that seeing a hot- *cough* I mean handsome young man like him, first thing in the morning, is really, really... refreshing.
I'm completely lost in my thoughts, standing like an idiot in the middle of the street, when suddenly...
*SMACK!!!*
_"OOUUUCHHHH!!!!!!"
_"YOU FOOLISH GEEK! MAKING ME WAIT LIKE THAT WHILE STARING AT THE TV!!!!! I SWEAR! "
_" Holy cupcake!!!! Was it necessary to smack my head with your freaking German dictionary!!!! You stupid oversized breasts girl!!!!! Uuuh... I feel like faiting suddenly~"
_"Ugh...okay I shouldn't have smacked you with the German dictionary, sorry 'bout that kid, next time I'll use my " Laws and Social Life in the New air" book".

_"....seriously? .....it nearly weights 15 Ibs...you really want to kill me, huh? "
_"Tsk, don't say that you foolish girl, I was really worried! by the way, why are you watching the news?"
Natsumi lifts her head up trying to figure out what was I watching to get so absorbed in the news.
_" Oooooh~ ,it's one of the princes of the vampire empire! "Akihiro Sasaki ". You have a good eye, kid, everyone likes him... or maybe I should say, LOVES and respects him, he is one of the most famous persons in the world after all, it is even possible that he'll become the next emperor of the vampire empire! Which means he is nearly going to rule over a great part of the world! "
_"Woooooow!!! I heard things about him, I didn't get the chance to see him thought, he is extremely handsome...I never saw someone like that in real life ...he reminds me of one of my virtual husbands. "
_"..."
Natsumi shoots me an annoyed glare, but then she looks down at her feet, lost on thoughts.
(Hmm? ...)
She turns her head towards me, a concerned look on her face.
_" Are you sure you are alright? "
_"Hmm? What do you mean? "
_"*Sigh*... you have dark circles under your eyes, you know that, right? "
_"Oh..."
I touch my face just under my eyes, and I miraculously can feel my tiredness...
Even if she is bossy sometimes, Natsumi is really a kind hearted girl, and I have zero dubts about it....but...
(She has to worry about herself more, she has an important exam this year....I don't want to worry her...)
Even if we are in the same high school, Natsumi is one year older then me, and she has an important exam to pass...I've never shared my problems with her, no... I didn't want to... I felt way too ashamed to do that.... She is from a very wealthy and prestigious family, I don't want to be looked down or anything, I don't want to depend on anyone...
_" Haha, you're funny ya know that? We're in tests period, how do you want me to get enough sleep when I'm totally lost in my books and everything all night long! "
I say, putting a fake smile on my face, I don't want her to know...
She looks at me silently, as if she is trying to read my mind, and then says:
_"Hey...if you need any help in your studies just tell me! I'm right here, and I'm your best friend! So try to depend on me more, okay? "
_"Don't worry about me, I'll ask you of I need anything of course."
_"Hmm...okay..."
(Just stop worrying about me, please. I don't want you to know, I...)
Natsumi looks at me, changing her expression to her usual very cheerful smile, and puts her hands on my shoulders.
_"We should go to school now, so let's hurry up!"
_".....Mm."
I silently nod, and so we start running together towards the school...
(I wonder when all of this nonsense stops...)
