Connecting stars

True friend

In a few months we became real best friends. Having invited to sleep overs with other of her friends. I thought it was an honour
I thought I was doing the right thing by staying as her friend and wanted our so called friendship to remain forever. There was something I enjoyed in it. I was a masochist.. maybe..

It was July, a rainy season here.
It was raining heavily . I forgot my umbrella and it looked like Makoto was carrying an umbrella. It was like a romantic anime where the guy invites a girl to get into the umbrella.

I wanted Makoto to notice that I forgot my umbrella so I started to walk towards him and again talked back turn as I was too shy to approach him.

"Hey there BFF!!" Michiko tackled me and said "what's upp? Lemme guess ..forgot ur umbrella?" She winked
"Yeah.." I said
"Here you go" she gave me her umbrella and stood near...Makoto??
I tried to convince myself that it was pure coincidence and trying to calm down
"No Chizu... she's not doing it on purpose" I told to my inner
Self

I his near our lockers. She and Makoto were talking & fighting ..again
Then he asked "Forgot ur umbrella ..how can you be so dumb?"
"Yeah yeah i am a fool that I gave it to my friend? Not. " She muttered
He sighed and invited her to go under his umbrella
They both began to walk together & disappeared in the fog.
I just stood there staring at them walk away

I was totally disappointed
I went inside the library to make my mood better. I took an issue of a Fairytale and had tears in eyes .
"I wonder when I will be the main character of my own Fairytale..right now I'm like a background character for my own story.." I almost cried

"Wanna have a chat ?" Jade patted me

I and Jade went to a nearby coffee shop .
"Um..I have no money" I said
"Don't worry. I'll pay" she said
She looked as cool as the rumors say. As expected from a volleyball player..
"Why were you crying there?" She looked into my eyes and folded her arms.
"Um..me? I did not cry..." I looked away
She was quite for sometime
"Let me tell you before it's too late" she started to adjust her bangs
"Don't take it in the wrong way but I think you.. should stay away from her" she said , rolling her sleeves
"Who?" I asked her even though I knew who she was talking about
"It's her..that purple haired witc- I mean..Michiko"
"I am sending something wrong..I know it's your own issue but ..don't say you've never be warned ...she and I were in same middle School & I pretty much know what kind of girl she is..so maybe you should just ..."
I wasn't interested in what she was saying & got. Little bit angry  & said
"You need not worry...now I have to leave. Bye" I walked away

I didn't know why I did that. I have become a loyal friend of Michiko that I even didn't care to listen to Jade
Then I began to feel good that I was such a caring friend
