"Mama, Papa, why are you fighting again?" the lump on my throat was getting bigger and I swallowed back the tears.

My mother, father and I were once a happy family… we were always laughing, I always made them smile, until that fateful incident that made my family crash into what it is now.

I was always lonely and I realized how hurt I am. I decided that I can never make people laugh again. I realized that Laughing is stupid, until I met Amu.

But that was two years ago, when things were going great. I realized how much I have changed in the past and I'm willing to change again. I helped out a lot ever since I have joined the guardians.

But Amu moved last year, and there is no one that will listen to me anymore. That brat, he's always trying to get involved in my problems. I didn't bother talking to him. He was too good for that. He's literally perfect. He doesn't deserve to get involved in my problems no matter how much he tries. I would not let that slip. So here I am, starting my story in Middle school, the one school that tells you that you're moving up, that you're getting older. That you have to change.

*********GOTHIC LOLITA***************

"Rima Chan? Why do you always wear clothes like that?"

I shrugged.

"It's comfortable and I like it." I answered without making eye contact.

I despise it when he does that. He always asks me this question. When will he ever stop?

"But, you said that you hated wearing black." He gave a frown.

I gave him a glare which made him frown even more.

"Mashiro san, Fujisaki Kun was only trying to help." Tadase replied.

"But I don't need any help! I didn't ask for his help!" I shouted and stood up; my small fists banged the table and causing it to shake and my unfinished tea to spill all over my dress. Crap.

Now I would be humiliated for the rest of life because I have tea spilled all over my new dress that I worked hard to buy for. Basically helping my mom with the chores and doing things to make her happy.

Worse of all, I would be humiliated by that brat if he laughs at my face for spilling tea all over. So I'm standing motionless, fists clenched, eyes closed and getting ready to be humiliated. But instead of being laugh at, I feel something ruffling my dress. When I opened my eyes, he was there with a damp towel trying to clean up the mess. Argh! That pervert! Ever since I figured that he was a cross dresser, he sickens me and won't leave me alone.

I'm at my limit now.

"Forget it, it's already ruined anyway." I stopped him and he stood up with a sad look on his face.

That expression's not going to make me smile or feel sorry for him. EVER.

"I'm going home; I have to do my homework anyway." I mumbled and picked up my black lacy bag and headed out of the royal garden, the memory that we had together. Just me and Amu.

"Ja ne, Rima chan." I could hear him shout from the Royal Garden.

Psh, like I would care.

Now mother has trusted me and I can finally walk home alone. But still, they keep fighting all the time. It feels like this dispute is not going to end. Because of the fact that Amu moved, made me feel lonely again and I started to find comfort in black, lacy clothing. It was as if I became a gothic Lolita.

At home, I could hear the distinct voices of arguing again so I didn't bother to greet my parents home. I walked straight to my room and shut the door.

"Welcome home!" Kusu Kusu shouted happily.

I gave a quick smile and quickly changed out of my dress and into my frilly doll like pajama dress.

After changing, I held up the lacy black dress with the stain.

Mama's going to get angry when she sees that stain. I folded the dress carefully in my arms and tiptoed to the bathroom. I could still hear the shouts of my once happy parents. It hurts my ears and makes my heart heavy with sadness. Every time I see or hear them arguing, I feel like I want to cry. I shut the bathroom door and closed my eyes to make the tears go away.

It seemed to work and I sighed in relief. Running my hands under the cold faucet water, I tried to wipe some of the stain away. It kind of worked and it kind of not worked. The stain on my dress was hard to remove and it showed out a lot. So much for attempting to get the stain out. In the end, I gave up and brushed my long, long hair. It was a pain but luckily there were no tangles or split ends in them so the comb ran smoothly down my curls. After that, I tiptoed back to my room with the dress and quietly shut the door.

Feeling suddenly lonely, I turned on my laptop and went to the chat. Amu is not online again. But there was a single green dot, indicating that this person was online. My face beamed up as I clicked the symbol, opening the chat box.

(Rima's chat has a flower symbol in front of it)

*Hey!

I waited for a response.

Oh! You're finally online!

I started to smile.

*Sorry, I had to clean my new dress because I spilled tea on it.

Another pause.

Oh, sorry to hear that.

I jumbled over the keys of the keyboard as fast as my small dainty fingers can take me.

*It's okay. I really feel like talking. I'm getting lonely again.

A few seconds later,

Oh, because of your parents?

*Yea. And this guy in my school made me angry today.

Really?

*He won't leave me alone and he keeps asking me why I prefer wearing black clothing.

Do you know him?

*Yes. I realized that he is a cross dresser.

A small pause

Oh.

From what I have heard so far, I think he likes you.

I jolted from my seat.

*No way. NEVER! He does not like me! It's impossible!

It does seem that way. Does he try to help you in any way?

I became shocked. How does this person know this?

*Yea. How do you know?

Umm…I don't really. I'm just asking.

*Oh.

But from what I know, I think he does.

I could hear shouting and footsteps coming up. Mother's knocking on the door.

"Rima, are you there?"

"Yea, I'll be out in a sec." I replied and started to type again.

*Oops, my mom is calling me. I'll talk to you tonight, or maybe tomorrow.

Sure. –Smiles- Ja ne~

I returned a smile, and then shut the laptop off.

"Okay Mama, coming." I said out loud and went out the door.

Downstairs, Mama and Papa were sitting on opposite sides of the table, avoiding eye contact.

"Mama, Papa?" I started and sat down on the nearest chair possible. Kusu Kusu sat on my shoulder, getting worried.

"Rima? We have to talk to you." Mama started.

Well, how was it?? R&R plox!

Please give me some time to work on the second chapter because there's another story in progress so it will take a while...Arigato Gozaimasu!
