My name is Momo Mitsuki, I'm 15 years old ... Since I was born I've always been a good girl, I got good grades, I was not particularly good at anything, but it was good enough in basically everything, my parents always pressured me being an example student, thanks to the fact that my older sister was an amazing girl, she was extraordinary in everything she did, there was nothing she did not know how to do perfectly, so I had to try to be like her, I could not be below her , she was even very well known in my school, despite having graduated a few years ago ... Thanks to this, people always compare me to her, with that I was never able to make many friends, nor even find a love...
I was already halfway through the second semester of my first year of high school and I still had not found any interest, well my parents did not really give me the opportunity, hours and hours of study and coursework, I felt that I was already at my limit, but I could not give up, because if not, I was sure that my parents would give up on me.
- How are you still going to this math course? Come on, let's go for a karaoke or whatever, your parents need to understand that you're not Megumi ... -
Megumi was my perfect older sister, of whom I was always compared.
With a forced smile I answered her;
- Stop being silly Nana, my parents do not think so hahaha ... They just want my good, I'm sure--
I said that, but deep down I knew it was not like this, I knew they wanted me to be a clone of Megu.
Nana is my friend, well I guess ... I do not have many friends, she's one of the few people I still talk to, I definitely did not want to lose her friendship, but it was difficult for me.
I kept going my way--Geez it looks like it's going to rain today--
While I was walking the station I began to feel bad, so I decided to skip the course and rest, when I got home I heard the sound of things beating, and some screams
--You do not understand anything, you get too light on Momo, stop being stupid, she needs more reinforcement, if not ... I do not even want to think about it. --
My mother was yelling at my father, they always fight and of course the reason is always me.
Without thinking twice, I ran out of the house, without saying a word, as I ran, the rain fell, and thundered, I did not know where to go.
"Nami's house?" "No, we're not that close, in the end I'm all alone--
As I ran I felt my legs weaker, I remembered that I was not eating and sleeping right because of the tests. I felt that I would not be able to stand for a long time.
My mind went blank.
My sight darkened. I felt someone carrying me, like a princess, like the books, after that I do not remember anything else.
When I woke up..
--Aawh, what do I do?" I might try looking at her purse to see her identity. I can not do this, it's invasion of privacy, I know I'll research your uniform--"
I cut him off saying; -- Sorry ... Who are you?--
--Oh good, you're okay, I'm Hirotaka, it was a surprise, I was out to buy something at the convenience store when suddenly you started fainting, well I managed to run to hold you hahaha --
He said smiling like a child.
--I understand ... I'm sorry, thanks, so I'll be going.-- I said, pulling the cover off my back, but I was stopped by him;
--As if I could let a schoolgirl go out alone in this state, wait here I'll call a taxi-
He said as he messed my hair and smiled, again like a child.
"His hand is really warm" I thought as I looked at his smile
I observed the place, it seemed to be a cafe? It was really beautiful and cozy, a real family place, again I felt like crying.
--Is that cafe yours?--
--Yes, now it is,did you liked it?--
I've smiled -- Yes, i loved it! -- He looked at me in surprise, but was really happy, like a puppy or a child.
--Here, that must warm you up.-- He poured me a cup of hot chocolate, I thought it was just plain hot chocolate, then i drinked it ...
-- What? that tastes kinda different... Despite being a simple hot chocolate haha ...--
A tear ran down, as I forced a dull laugh.
--God, I'm sorry, is it too hot?-- Did you burn? --He said desperately, his worried face really comforted me, just like that hot chocolate.
I've Smiled and said;--Oh no, it's all right, it's just ... That chocolate really made me warm ... Thank you!--
He made a confused face, did not seem to have understood the situation very well, but he smiled.
Then the taxi honk honed the coffee silence;
--It must be the taxi, I'll get you something to take with you on the way, wait a minute.--
He brought me a really nice box, inside there were some Eclairs, to tell the truth, it was the first time I saw an eclair.-- This seems really expensive, is it okay if I stick with it?--
--Of course, it's a gift, you must be hungry too.--
He walked up to the taxi, I really could not thank him properly that day, it was all a mess.
When I got home, my father was really worried.
--Momo, where were you?--He ran and hugged me.
-- Come in to the bathroom-- My mother said and turned away.
"Well I did not expect her to really be happy to see me, but I was really happy, I could still feel the warmth of that coffee and her hands."
--Momo, what's that on your back?--Ah! Damn, I forgot to give him back his blanket, what do I do?
I explained everything to my father, he was really angry with me, he said that I would have reinforcement in the course, in the end he was just scared to take scolding from my mother again, this is really frustrating ...
In the end my mother did not talk to me, nor did she wake me up for class that day. And I could not forget his face and the warmth of his hands, I felt I needed to get back there somehow.
