AN: Yo guys! This is my first time writing something like this… or maybe not. But to get to the point, I am a total newbie. Please forgive me for wrong grammar, spelling mistakes and what not. Oh and please tell me if I need to improve on anything… Thankyou! Signing out… ~Shintori Khazumi
P.S I don't want to reveal the characters at the very start of the story so "ginger" and "bestfriend" will be their codenames for a while… don't worry just a short while.
"Ne, ne…What's your favorite color?" A certain Ginger asked her bestfriend.
"Why do you ask?" Said best friend replied.
Because I wanna confirm something.
"Just asking…" ginger replied nonchalantly
"Well how about you?" The best friend replied, trying to see what the other's answer might be.
"My favorite color is ashbrown and a golden kind of color. You?" ginger replied without a hitch.
I hope my feelings will reach you.
"Hmmm… Let me think about it. Maybe… Blue! I like a golden color too! It makes everything more beautiful!" Best friend said cheerfully.
It hurts.
"oh…" ginger lowered her head.
It hurts to know.
"What's wrong?" Her best friend was surprised with the sudden change in demeanor.
"Nothing! Nothing at all…" The ginger tried to brush it off and hide her feelings but still…
It hurts to know that…
I'm not your favorite color
"Ne, Umi-chan. Have you seen Honoka-chan anywhere?" Minami Kotori asked the ever dependable Sonoda Umi, a fellow µ's member and one of her most cherished friends.
"No, I haven't. She hasn't been walking with me to and from school either nor has she been attending any of our practices." Umi replied
"Honoka's still not back?" Nishikino Maki asked as she entered the club room.
"Doesn't she attend class or something? That delinquent…" Yazawa Nico stepped in after Maki, also coming in for practice.
"She's not back yet, but she does attend classes. She's just out the door right as the bell rings and won't even make eye contact with us during class. She even refused to pair with anyone during our chemistry class." Umi answered all the questions.
"Hi-nyan! Kayo-chin and I have arrived!" Hoshizora Rin, an energetic first year, burst into the room, Koizumi Hanayo, another first year, in tow.
"Is everyone here?" A gentle voice asked. The voice belonged to Ayase Eli, the student council president who joined µ's after the girls' encouragement.
"Everyone but Honoka-chan, I guess" Tojou Nozomi, Eli's Bestfriend and Student council VP, also the mother figure of µ's finally joined.
"She still isn't showing up? What is wrong with her anyway?" Nico blurted out what everyone in the room was thinking. Worried glances were shot all around the room.
"Doesn't anyone know of anything that might have happened to her? Umi, Kotori?" Eri questioned their leader's closest friends.
"Not that we know of, Eri." Umi answered for them both.
"Maybe…" Maki suddenly said, directing all µ's attention to her.
"Continue, Maki" Nozomi pushed.
"We should visit her at her house…"
"Good idea!" everyone agreed.
All of the µ's members gathered their belongings and piled out of the room. It was around sunset and everything was tainted with the sun's colors. One of them in particular, was greatly affected by this.
"It's beautiful, isn't it Kotori?" Nozomi asked, pulling behind the rest of the group in hopes of talking privately with Kotori.
"Huh? Y-yeah." Kotori answered, looking down at her feet.
"Ne, Kotori-chan. Let me ask you a question."
"Sure. What is it?" Kotori responded a little curious as to what Nozomi was thinking.
"What's your favorite color?" Nozomi asked innocently.
What's your favorite color?
"I- I… Don't know." Kotori stumbled on her words, picturing a certain ginger's reaction to a similar conversation.
"You don't know?" Nozomi asked, brow raised in confusion.
"I don't" Kotori answered her firmly.
"You Don't?" A different voice joined in, making everyone turn around.
"Honoka/chan!" Everyone began rushing towards her but they suddenly stopped, noticing the huge change in their friend's usually cheerful demeanor.
"You don't know what your favorite color is?" Honoka's voice trembled as she said this.
"Honok-" Kotori tried to explain but was cut off.
"Did it ever matter to you? Do you know how much it affected me?" Honoka raised her voice a bit, eyes beginning to water.
"What are you talking about Honoka?" Eli decided to break the ice, but failed.
"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" She finally yelled, surprising everyone.
"What affected you Honoka?" Kotori said, knowing full well that Honoka had been referring to something they had talked about but couldn't remember exactly what.
"Your favorite colors." Honoka stated.
"What about my favorite colors?" Kotori was now perplexed because of Honoka's behavior towards her favorite colors.
"They were never ME." Honoka then broke out into a full sprint leaving everyone dumbfounded.
AN: So I guess that's that. Tell me if you want this to actually continue or tell me if I have to improve with something. Thanks a lot guys!
