Epilogue
"Is that Satoshi Hiwatari?"
"I thought he had left..."
"Why did he come back?"
"Who cares? The hottie is back in town!"
"Yes, but look at who he is with."
"Why is he with Risa Harada?"
"I don't know..."
As whisperes filled the hallway of the High School, I was more than happy to shrug them away. I glanced around at all the stares I was getting, then my eyes settled upon Risa. She was walking beside me, but I couldn't help but notice that she looked uncomfortable at all the attention. I thought I saw a flicker of worry in her eyes. I smiled and reached out my hand to hold hers.
"Think they're a bit surprised?" I asked once I had leaned closer to her ear.
She let out a breath she had been holding. Relaxing, she interlocked her fingers with mine. "A little."
I smirked and kissed her cheek, causing gasps and more hushed tones to fly around the school. Amused, we both held in our laughter and walked down the hallway. Greeting us at the end of our path was a redhead, whose hair was notibly spiked, and his girlfriend, whose short, brown hair bobbed up and down when she jumped and waved.
Daisuke Niwa was my classmate and Risa's friend since 6th grade. Riku Harada was Daisuke's beloved, Risa's twin sister, and also Daisuke's best friend since elementary school. I was their classmate and Risa's boyfriend. We were all friends.
It was nice to know that I was no longer on my own.
A/N: So... thanks so much for reading, you guys! I mean... I really did want to leave this just as a oneshot, and I don't know if continuing it was the greatest idea in the world, but hey. I stated my opinion in both parts. In chapter 1, what's written is true. It's sad, and most of us are a bit emo about it, but sometimes things don't end up the happily-ever-after we all want. (pauses)
But I'm begining to think that's not true as well. Yes, I know I sound weird, but hear me out. We don't have to live the steroetype happily-ever-after, but we can frickin make our own(!). Yeah, sometimes things happen, but what's important is that you always bounce back up. You can't do it by yourself, but you can do it. As long as you got a friend, you can bounce back up in a private airplane, sipping a frapaccino or something. :P
Well, anyway... I'm probably not making any sense anymore. Lol. I sincerely hope you all enjoyed I'm Better Off On My Own.
