the encounter

Sorry, I kinda rewrote the story. Kinda same personalities. Enjoy. -Sawako
"Sayuri," My father said. "Promise me you`ll take care of Miharu and yourself."
"B-but-"
"Promise me."
"I promise," I said, watching my tears and the rain drip onto his face.
"Thank you, Sayuri, I want you to find the meaning of fate at Kuroyama high school. Its where I met your mother," He said, smiling.
That was the last smile he ever took. My parents death was in the news. It headlined "Genius actress Sasahara Sayuri`s parents die in car crash." After that, I worked my hardest in the acting world. Sealing away my emotions, my younger brother was the only treasure. He was only 11 when it happened, 2 years have passed.
In some scripts of the movies I played in, it said high school life was colorful and fun. I doubt it. I bet high school life would be just like middle school and elementary.My mother and father filed for a divorce. Miharu and I lived with my father, since my mother had decided to get remarried. Later, my mother had died of an illness. She was physically weak to begin with, but she held on. Later, me and Miharu grieved about our mother`s death. After my mother`s death, I decided I wanted to be an actress. I was the star of many movies, but then my father died. I was left with no parents. My uncle had offered to take Miharu and I in. My uncle is rarely home, so its basically just us. I feel so tired.

"What are you doing!" My father said.
"What does it look like?" My mother yelled. "I`m cooking!"
"Mama, Papa, don`t fight," I said, about to cry.
"Stay out of it, Sayuri!" Your mother doesn`t even care!"
"If you`re going to talk like that, get a different wife!"
I ran outside crying. So cold, I thought, shivering.
"Are you cold?" A boy with short wavy black hair said to me. His cheeks were flushed, and his breaths were heavy. "Here," He said, passing me his scarf and hat.
"Why are you giving this to me?" I said, confused.
"Because you`re cold right?" He said, smiling.
"Well, of course I am!" I said.
"Are you okay? You look like you`re about to cry," He said.
I burst out crying. "My mommy and daddy are fighting," I said, sobbing.
"Its okay," He said. "My mom and dad fight too. But they still love each other."
"Really?" I said, curious.
"Yeah!" He said smiling.
"Haaruuu!" A boy with blonde hair shouted at the wavy haired boy.
"Eh? Mizuki?" The boy named Haru said.
"Your mom wants you!" Mizuki-kun said. He seemed to notice Sayuri for the first time. "Eh? Haru, who`s this girl?" He said, pointing at me.
"Eh?" I said.
"Oh, yeah, what`s your name?" Haru asked me.
"Sasahara Sayuri," I said.
"That`s a pretty name!" He said smiling. "My name is Kurosaka Haru."
"Haru, huh? I like that name, hehe. Hey, Haru, would you be my friend?"
"Eh?" He smiled. "Okay! Hey, Sayuri, you want to eat dinner at my house?"
"Uhh, okay," I said.
"Lets go!" He said, running.
"Haruuu," Mizuki-kun said. "Wait for mee."
"Hurry!"
"Pardon the intrusion," I said, as I walked into Haru`s house.
"Hey, your name`s Sayuri right?" Mizuki-kun said.
"Yes," I said.
"You dont have to be so formal, Haru`s mother is very nice," He said.
"Eh? Ah, okay," I say.
"Haru, is that you?" A motherly voice shouted.
"Mooom, Mizuki and a girl named Sayuri is eating with us tonight!"
"Ehhh? Sayuri? Already have a girlfriend?"
"Eh?" I said, my face reddening.
"Okay, come on, food`s ready."
I sit down, "Thank you for the food." I taste the food, its delicious, I think. How could food be this delicious. Then I feel tears coming down my face.
"Eh?" I say.
Then Haru and Mizuki-kun look at me.
"Eh?" They say in unison.
"Sorry," I say. "Its just, the food tastes so good today," I say, starting to cry.
"You say the food tastes delicious today, but its probably because you`re eating together with someone," Haru said.
"Eh?"
"Food tastes better when you eat together," Haru said, smiling at me.

"Eh?" I wake up from my dream. What was I dreaming about? Its making me feel like my heart is being squeezed. I wonder... Well, whatever. Today, I am starting as a high schooler in Kuroyama High. I wonder if I can find the meaning of fate.

Sasahara Sayuri? Haru thought. Who`s that. I had heard all about the rumors when some girls were talking about them. Apparently, Sasahara Sayuri was a genius actress. And she was coming to Kuroyama High. The girls even said she was probably going to be in 1-B. Good bye my peaceful life, Haru thought, with a twitch of annoyance. But, my life was never really peaceful. Nobody understands me. If only one person was out there, he thought. If only, somebody understood me.
"Haru-kun!" A girl with brown short hair said.
"Uh.. yes?" I said. Who is this girl? I thought.
"Wanna come over tonight? My parents are out late," She said, smiling at me.
"Uh. No," I said, flat out. "Find someone else to do your perverted desires with."
She was shocked, her face said it. "Ehh, so Haru-kun is like that."
"Yo! Haru!" Mizuhara Satsuki said.
"Hey," I say.
"Hey, have you heard?! Sasahara Sayuri is coming to our school! And she`s in 1-B! Luucky," He said, laughing.
"Aren`t those just rumors?" I asked him.
"They aren`t! I just got them confirmed. Tachibana-sensei says she`s coming today!"
"Thats great?"
"Have you seen her?" He asked me. "She`s a beauty. I want her number." He said smiling. Although Satsuki was a nice-ish guy, he was also a player. He hit on every 'cute' girl he saw. His phone is full of girl`s numbers. I sighed. Sometimes, dealing with Satsuki was tiring.
Tachibana-sensei came in the class, announcing that we must sit in our seats. I could tell everyone was excited for an actress to come to our school. High school was so tiring.
"Everyone! Today we have a new student! Her name is Sasahara Sayuri!!" Tachibana-sensei announced loudly. Tachibana-sensei was pretty young. He was also reliable. He was childish too. "Please come in, Sasahara-san!"
The door slided open, and the most beautiful girl I`ve ever seen, walked in.
"Come on, introduce yourself Sasahara-san! But everyone probably knows you," He said, laughing.
"Good morning. My name is Sasahara Sayuri. Please take care of me," Sasahara said, bowing.
So even a famous actress could have manners, I thought. Well, I guess you could call that a good point.
I heard the whispers of the class.
"Ehh? So even a petty girl like Sasahara Sayuri could have manners!" The girls said.
"She`s even cuter in person!" The boys said.
"Sasahara-san! You can sit in the empty seat next to Kurosaka-san. He`s the one looking at the sky, in the back," I heard Tachibana-sensei say.
Damn, I thought. Now this will even attract even more attention. I feel like going home and sleeping. I saw Sasahara walking to her seat. She sat down and looked straight at the board, ignoring all the stares and whispers.
The bell rung, it was break time.
"Hey! Sayuri-chan!" A boy with blonde hair said. "Can you sign my magazine?"
I heard her voice, it was like a pianist playing beautiful music.
"Sure," She said, in a I-dont-really-care voice.
"Sayuri-chan!" I heard Satsuki say. "Whats your number?"
The boys seemed anxious to know.
"I forgot?" She said. I almost burst out laughing.
"Ehh? Well, when you remember, tell me! My name`s Mizuhara Satsuki," Satsuki said, leaving the classroom.
"Okay, I guess," She said.
--
Satsuki? I wonder who he is. Well whatever.
"Hey, hey, Sayuri-chan," A girl with black hair pulled in a pony-tail said to me.
"Yes? Your name is..?" I asked her.
"Ah, my name is Mizutani Hanako!" She said, and smiled at me.
"Sasahara Sayuri, please take care of me, Mizutani-san" I said, bowing.
Mizutani-san started laughing, "What`s with that formality? Just call me Hanako!"
"Oh, okay, then, Hanako, please take care of me," I said, bowing again.
"Noo, you don`t need to bow!" Hanako said, laughing.
"Sorry," I said.
"Hey, hey," Hanako said. "I heard you have a little brother! Is he cute, just like you?"
"Eh? Umm, yeah, he`s really cute," I said, smiling.
I saw Hanako`s face got really red. "Eh?" She said. "Y-you smiled!"
"Eh?" I said, blushing slightly.
I noticed a boy with black wavy hair looking at me, his face was slightly red. I think I noticed him more than the others, after I saw him look at me, he turned away. He didnt look at me for a long time, like the others. And the boy was strangely familiar. I wonder why... Funny, I thought. My heart feels like its being squeezed. My throat feels as if its closing in. I wonder what this feelings is. It feels like I`m suddenly going dizzy.
"Hey, hey. Look, Kurosaka-san is looking at you!" Hanako said to me. I looked at him, and he was looking at me.
"Kurosaka?" I ask her.
"Yeah! Kurosaka Haru!"
And then, these feelings swallow me in.
