A/N: Hey! This other one is for number 121 - character: Hitomi Shizuki. I don't really write much of Hitomi on her own. She's a pretty interesting character.

Liking

Her mama always said girls didn't like girls like that, but she wished they did.

That fine line was always there, that thing called propriety and good standing.

It affected her, but her friends didn't seem to care. Sayaka didn't even try to worry, hugging Madoka so often that it couldn't possibly be just a thing that friends did.

Not that Hitomi talked to many people outside of the two of them. Popularity was hard to come by with girls, especially in middle school.

At least Madoka seemed embarrassed.

Her mother always wrinkled her nose at them.

Hitomi could only watch.

It looked so much easier.

But Kyousuke was cute, determined, acceptable. He laughed at her jokes and worked on his homework and Sayaka spent every free minute thinking of him and holding Madoka through them all.

She wasn't sure who she was actually jealous of, in the end.
