Today was Monday afternoon. Amy just came back from school. Suddenly she saw an envelope in the mail box. She took it out and read it while walking into the house.
        "Wow, mom look! Aunt May wants me to visit her in Australia. She said she is very lonely there with no family and said I was so kind cause I always write to her. Look! she sent a ticket. Can I go mom? At that time she prayed that her mom will say yes.
         "Let me see that." Amy handed her the letter "No"
         "But mom I'm old enough." She was, she was 16 she had long hair black hair. Usually she tie it up as a bun and wore glasses. "At least discuss it with daddy."
         "Ok. I'll be fair"
         "Thanks mom"

     (6.00 p.m.)
         Amy was watching TV when she heard a knock on the door. She open it "Dad, I'm so glad your home" She took his briefcase and coat and place them in the proper position.
       "All right what do you want?" He knew she was up to something.
       "I'm just helping my father" she said that with her sweetest voice. "Diner is on the table."
       After diner she helped her mother wash the dishes. Her brother was so stunned. He check her forehead and asked if she is sick.
        Mrs. Byrd showed her husband the letter from Aunt May. "So that's why you were so nice." He read  it. "We'll give you the answer tomorrow."

        After school Amy run home as fast as she can. Hoping and praying that her father's and mother's answer was 'yes'. Without even thinking she knock the door as hard as she could.
        "Where's the fire?" Mrs. Byrd said that when she open the door.
        "Well?
        " Well what?
        "The answer?
        "Oh, you may go but just promise to be careful."
        "I will." She gave her mother a hug and ran straight to her room and started packing. She couldn't wait to go to Australia.

         (Wednesday at the airport)
        "I'm gonna miss you" Mrs. Byrd said and gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek.
        "Me too" Her dad said and gave her a hug. As usual her brother said nothing but grin a lot. She gave her brother a hug. Even though she didn't like him. He is still her flesh and blood. After she had said her last good bye she went into the plane.

        (In the plane)
        She was so bored she started to read. It was 3 hours. She knew she had to blow. She was on her way to the rest room. Suddenly she heard a crack. She realize it was her pin. Her soft long hair flowed down like a waterfall. When she bent down to pick it she saw someone else hand on it. She look up and saw a handsome, muscular Japanese guy. standing right in front of her wearing a suit with sun glasses blocking his eyes. "I believe you drop this" .
        She felt her heart beating so fast. "Y....yes" she murmured. He gave her the pin and walk away.

        (Airport)
        Finally in Australia. She looked at her watch and notice it was dead. Suddenly she saw the Japanese guy who helped her in the plane going in a limousine. She decided to ask him the time. She thought 'this is my last time I'm gonna see you.' Excuse me sir" She said that politely. But do you know the time?" She said that with her sweetest smile.
        He looked at his watch "5.10 p.m. "he said
        "Thank you" She was late. She stopped a taxi and went in.

         The taxi stopped at a big fancy mansion. She realize it was her Aunt's house. She paid the driver and went into a beautiful garden. She walked past it and ring the bell. An middle age woman came out and she hug Amy so tight that she couldn't even breath. "It's nice.... to see you...... to aunty May"
         "Oh, my look at you all grown up "she scan her face "you look just like your mother."
         "Thanks"
         "Oh dear don't just stand there. Come in, come in" She said and move so that Amy cold come in.
         "Wow it's so beautiful in here"
         "Thank you dear" She lead her into a luxurious room. "This will be your room."
          "This is so beautiful thanks aunty"
          "Your welcome. Hurry change diner will be At 9.00" with that she closed the door.

         (9.00p.m.)
          Amy opened the door of the dining hall and went in with wearing a short miniskirt and a short blouse. Her aunt was stunned by the way she dress. Amy noticed that "Is there anything wrong aunty?"
         "Yes, your filthy clothes for goodness sake your a lady not a gangster" She whisper something to her maid and the maid walk toward Amy and took her hand.
         "Where are we going?" her voice shaking.
         "Dress you up me lady."
         "Ok"
         Before she knew it. She was in a wardrobe full of grand dresses. "Pick one me lady"
         "I don't know" her voice trembling. Just then she saw a beautiful dress hanging out the cupboard. "I pick that" she pointed to a white long sleeve dress with sparkling diamond. It was beside a pair of shoes and a pair of white gloves.
         "Ok, me lady." the maid took the dress and ask her to put it on. After that the maid put makeup on her soft face.

       (Dining room)
        Amy made a grand entrance. Aunt May was shocked to see how pretty her niece was. "Now you look like a princess."
        "No, I look like an idiot. Aunt this is the modern world. They don't wear this."
        "Of course they don't." a slight grin appear on her face "but princesses do. And besides guest is coming so you better look your best" Then she continued arranging the flowers.
         Suddenly Amy face fell. "Guest is coming? How come you never told me? Now I look like an idiot from Mars. No, worse, from a another dimension." Then she sat down on a chair with her hand in her hair.
         "Don't say that honey, you look beautiful. Besides you're not the only one dressing like that dear. Most of the girls who are coming are wearing the same style your wearing." she continued on her work"
          With that she felt better "Ok"

          All the guest has arrive. They were admiring the beauty of Amy. Amy was so happy. Cause for once she had been in the center of attention and she planned to enjoy it. Just as the clock strike 9.00 a tall handsome Japanese guy came in with a handsome tuxedo. Amy realized it was the guy in the airplane she had met this afternoon. Suddenly she saw someone behind him. She adjusted her eyes. It was hard to see without her glasses. Suddenly that person step out of the shadows and came in sight. It was a girl. She was a japanese. She was beautiful with long black hair. They almost look alike except the dress and Amy was skinnier and her face was darker because she stayed in Malaysia. Reluctantly she approach her and said politely "moshi-moshi" (hello). She held out her hand for her to shake it "watashi wa Ami. Anata wa?" (my name is Amy. What's yours?) she asked politely.
          "Wa tashi wa Kitana and he is Kotaro. I'm glad someone in Australia know japanese" She said and gave a polite smile to Amy.
          "Actually I'm Malaysian. I came to stay with my aunt for a few days. Where's my manners?" Please come in. They went in and she closed the door. She lead them to the dining hall. "Please choose a place you fell comfortable."
         "Thank you" Kitana sat beside Kotaro. She  was opposite to Amy. Suddenly someone open the door of the dining room. Amy had to adjust her eyes to see who it was. She soon find out it was her aunty dress in an elegant gown that were almost same as hers.
          She started to speak "I'm so glad to have you all here. As you all know I called you here to introduce you to someone special to me. Amy felt herself blushing. For so long I had been single because I was rich. And I didn't trust guys, so now I felt lonely with nobody part of the family talking or being with me. Now I am a happy old lady because my favorite niece has agree to stay with me her name is Amy Byrd"
         Reluctantly she stand up. Her face was red. It was more red with her makeup.
         Her aunt realize she was embarrass. Then she said "ok everybody let's eat. She approach Amy and gave her a smile. "Honey are you ok? you look sick"
        sick of seeing Kitana so close to Kotaro she thought. "Yes, aunt I'm all right" Before she had a chance to put her salad into her mouth Kotaro said to her aunt and she had to hear it "Maybelin do you have a stereo?"
         "Why?"
         "I would like to dance with your niece if you don't mind"
          Amy choked on her salad. She took her glass of juice and drank it.
         Finally he add "if it is all right with you?" he asked her.
         "m...e?" she couldn't believe her luck. "Of course. Why not? I be glad too" she said. But something cross her mind she thought how will Kitana fells. But before she could ask, she heard music she knew she had to dance with him. She saw  his hand and took it. He took her to the hall not taking his eyes of hers. She knew she was blushing more than she did just now. Now she wish she would die right there at that spot. If she didn't, the pressure of embarrassment will kill her. They stopped and he took his left hand and put it on her wrist he took his right hand and held hers
          She noticed he haven't took his eyes off of her. She tried not to met his gazed, but she couldn't help it. He was so charming, handsome and cute. Then he broke the silences and said "I hope I was not disturbing your meal"  she realize she had heard that charming voice before. "No, not at all." she cleared her throat "have we met before? I have a felling we did"
          "Do you go to Safira club? I go there a lot of time"
          She shocked her head
          "Then we haven't met before"
          She thought of telling him about the accident in the airplane. But held back. She continued dancing suddenly she felt dizzy. She thought of sleeping on his shoulders like the one she used to see in love movies. Then she reminded herself this was just a friendly dance. There were nothing between them. But in her heart she wish there was. Suddenly something reminded her of Kitana. She know he was hers. And she was he's. She wanted to cry but held back. Crying wont help a bit. It will just embarrass me she thought. She wanted to break the silence so they will talk and their relationship will get closer. "So you and Kitana are pretty close. You looked like you really like her"
           "Because I do like her. We are getting pretty close. How about you? Do you have anyone special in Malaysia? He answered his own question. "I bet you do. With a face like ours the boys will be running to your feet."
        I bet, they say my face was so ugly it will scare anybody. My brother was worse he said it will scare Frankestein. No he didn't said it will scare him it will kill him she thought of neither one. She thought of telling him a lie "just one."
           "Oh, one only? What's his name?"
           She was happy he was curious. She decide to think fast of a name. She decided to take her friend name 'Eric' His name is Eric.
           "Eric......... nice name it probably sound better than Kotaro.
           "No, it doesn't your name is better"
           "Thanks your a nice friend. I fell dizzy do you think we should stop?"
           "Ok" but in her heart she wanted to go on forever.
            They went into the dining room together and took their seat. "So how did it go?" aunt May ask both of them.
            "Fine" Amy said. She didn't want her see how sad she was that he had a girlfriend.

            After the dinner she decided to ask her aunt something. Reluctantly she said it  "Kotaro is a nice guy. How old is he?" she said she knew she didn't want to but she had to know. Cause every time she see him her heart can't stop beating. Even saying his name made her blush.
            "Oh, that wonderful boy. Do you know he has a girlfriend? anyway he is just 17" She said that while she was heading to her room.
            Amy couldn't believe her ears what had her aunt had said on both things. "I know he has a girlfriend. I'm not blind. Is he really 17?" Thanks aunt. She run to her room when she heard her aunt said something.
            "Amy you will be going to school tomorrow" I hoped your ready. She decided to protest but she heard the door of her aunt room close.
             She went to her room. She felt scared of how school will be. She hoped it will be full of nice people. But most of all she hoped Kotaro will be in the same school with her.

             Amy got out of her bed as fast as she can. She was so exited. She took a quick bath and hurriedly ran to the kitchen. She grab her bread with jam and ate it while walking to school. She wore her favorite T-shirt and her favorite miniskirt. She also wore her glasses and she tied her hair like a bun. She finally reach Oxford school. She took her first step into school. She felt weird nobody even noticed her. They were all miding their own business. Some were reading, talking they didn't even see her. Then she spotted Kotaro. Her heart started beating fast again. Something in her heart ask her to go there and say 'hi'. But she knew she mustn't disturb somebody when they are talking. She decided to go to the principal's office and ask about her class.
Suddenly she saw Kitana heading straight to Kotaro. And what she did Amy wanted to die. Kitana kiss Kotaro by the lips. Amy thought she heard a crack and she knew it was her heart. She went to the principal's office without saying a word. This is the worse day of my life she thought. But she never knew it was getting much worse.
              At lunchtime Amy decided to sit beside them. She head to their table. She sat beside Kotaro and gave him a friendly 'hi'.
              "Do I know you?" came his reply. She wanted to die. This is serious she wanted to die now.
              Then she heard a familiar voice and realize it was Kitana "Excuse me nerd but this is my seat your seating". She turned and looked she wondered why nobody recognize her. She knew the answer. Last year her school had 'Teacher's day she act as a princess and force to take out her bun and let it flow. She also had to take her glasses of and by the time she stepped on the stage. Everybody didn't recognized her. And when she act they didn't take their eyes off of her. She knew she was ugly know without her hair flowing down and wearing glasses make her uglier. "I'm sorry. I'll get out of your seat know"
               She felt so embarrass she threw her tray into the dustbin and ran to the garden her school had and she started crying. Mom you were right I wouldn't like it here. They treated me like shit when I'm me but treated me like a princess when I'm someone else. Why doesn't he like me for me? She took of her glasses and her bun and continued crying.

                (Meanwhile in the cafeteria)
                "Why do that for Kitana? You didn't have to call new student nerds Even though she was one" Kotaro scolded Kitana
                 "Oh, darling you don't have to be so soft hearted. She was in my seat. And I don't want anybody seating near you but me."
                  "You don't have to be so jealous" He pushed his chair away and went to find Amy. He look all over the entire cafeteria but there was no sign of  her. He went into the hall, the auditorium and even some of the class. Finally he decided to go to the garden. He didn't know why he choose that place but something in his heart ask him to go. He saw somebody. That somebody had her back turned to him. He knew it was a her because the hair was long until it reach her buttock. "Excuse me"
                   She turned to him with her innocent eyes full of tears and it was red. The tears made her eyes shine. She looked so beautiful that made his heart beat so much. He stand there stiffly blushing. "Amy? why are you crying?"
                  With that she cried more and he ran to her putting his arms around her. "why is people mean to the unmean? Then she remembered what had made her first cried. She pulled away from his grip and started walking backward. Then she shouted at him " I HATE YOU!!" she said that with her loudest voice and started running home. He chased her. He finally caught up with her. He pulled her down. He pinned her to the ground. She struggle but he was stronger.
                 "Why? why do you hate me? what did I do to you that made you cry and hate me? You know the answer yourself. She pushed her hands away from his grip and put on her glasses and tied her hair like a bun in front of him. He finally noticed she was the girl in the cafeteria. The one he was looking for. "I didn't know. I'm sorry, you look so different."
                 "Is not your appologies I wanted." she finally look to him "It's Kitana's" she started walking. Then she heard the bell rang. But just keep on walking.
                 "Where you going? the school bell has rang. Please I said I was sorry"
                 "I'm going back to Malaysia. And I promise myself never to come here ever again. It will just break my heart. Oh, and another thing I never want to see you or her ever again."
                He knew she was serious but he can't stay there seeing her leave. So he went into the school.
                She started crying again. Then she whispered to herself "good-bye my one and lost love" She held a taxi and went in. She told the driver to sent her back to her aunt's house.

                 She got of the taxi and started running to the door. She opened the door with her key and started heading to her room and weep there. Her aunt heard the door slamming and she supposed it was Amy. She went up to the room. She found Amy in bed weeping loudly. She approach the bed and put her hand on her shoulders. "Was wrong honey? why are you crying?".
                 "Does it matter? nobody cares about me".
                  I care about you honey"
                 Amy look up and hug her aunt. "I'm sorry aunt I can't stay here a minute longer. I want to go back to Malaysia please"
                 "I understand" she got up from the bed your flight will be tomorrow" with that she gave her a kiss on the cheek and went out.
                Amy look around and got out of bed. She started heading to her drawer and took out her clothes. She grad her bag and started packing. Something caught her eye. It was Kotaro's picture. She wondered whether she wanted to take it or not. She thought about what had happen a few minutes ago. She started crying again and thought I still like him no matter what. Why are you so cruel to me? I gave you love what more do you want? Then she look at the handsome gentlemen in the picture. She thought for a while. She knew she would never live without him. She took the picture and put it to her heart. She started dreaming again. She that he was dancing with again. Then she heard a knock on the door. She quickly took the picture and put it in her bag. "Come in"
               She was surpassed to see her aunt at the door. " Your in luck there is a plane. It is heading to Malaysia today".
              "Thank you aunt your the best"
             "I still hope you'll be staying"
             "I can't aunt. I've been hurt to much too stay here to remember it."
             "Ok, be ready at five o'clock I'll take you there by myself."
             "Thank you aunt"

              At the airport Amy was saying her last 'good-bye' to her aunt. She was a little disappointed when Kotaro didn't came. She felt sad. She did, for two things. One she is leaving her favorite aunt. Second Kotaro didn't came and said good-bye or cry for her. The only thing now she wanted is to see him cry for her. She got on the plane and said good bye to her aunt. In her heart she whispered good-bye Kotaro.

            (6.00 p.m.)
            Kotaro came to visit her in Maybelin's (aunt May) house bringing a bouquet of flowers. He rang the bell. He was surprised to see Mabelin sore face. "What's the matter? why are you near to tears?"
            "My angel has went back to Malaysia" she murmured.
           He stand there shock of what had happen. He threw the flowers and hurriedly ran into his limo. He told the driver to send him home.
           When he reach his grand mansion he started packing. He wanted to go to Malaysia and apologize to her. He finished packing and called the airport. He had had to wait until tomorrow to go to Malaysia.

           Back in Malaysia, Amy was so happy to see her family. Without wasting any time she gave them all a hug. She hate her brother but she also gave him a hug.
           Amy was sitting in her bedroom window dreaming the night she love most. The night she danced with a wonderful man. She tried to imagine it was another man with the same face. But it didn't help. Her mother knock on the door. "Came in"
          "Hey honey, guess what day it is?"
          "Holloween?"
          "Nope"
          "Independent's days?"
          "Not even close"
          "I give up."
          "It's your birthday dear. How could you forget?" she sat beside her and put her arm around her "Are you ok?" she examine her forehead.
           "Everything's ok mom" she tried her best to smile "So where are we going to celebrate it?" I hope it won't be that lousy restaurant again.
          "It's better, we will be celebrating it in the house. You may invite 5 of your friends". She got up and leave.

           Amy tried to find her favorite dress to wear to the party. She was shocked to see so many people she didn't thought will came. She was also happy to see her 5 favorite friends. She gave them all a hug. She was happy to see so many presents her guest gave her. She went into the kitchen "mom, why is there so many people?" she was grinning like mad. I guest today wasn't such a total lost.
          "Your not happy so many people came?" she laugh
          "Actually I was surprised" she heard the bell rang. "I wonder who could that be?"
          "Oh, I'll take that is probably the surprised" she gave her husband a wink in the right eye.
          "Surprised? what surprised?"
          "Oh, we can't tell. We promised we won't"
          Something in her heart told her it was Kotaro. She ran to the door. She stopped at the door. She pulled down her skirt. She make sure she was pretty enough to face him. She opened the door. She was a little disappointed that it was't him, but aunt May. She gave her a hug and ask her to come in. She look inside to see so many people talking, so she realize they won't miss her. She sat at her swing outside the house and started to cry.
           "Here take this" somebody hand her a box of tissue.
           "Thank you" she realize, she recognized that voice. She look up. She was shocked to see Kotaro in the moonlight. He smile to her.
           "It's bad luck to cry on your birthday my dear" He sat down beside her and gave her a hug. She was so happy to have him beside her once again. She look up. He stare at her with his green eyes and she realize she was blushing. He slowly lowered his head until his nose almost touch her. He gave her a passion kiss on the lips. She wanted him to kiss her forever. She felt his soft tender lips. she broke the kiss and ask "how about Kitana?"
           "I dumped her. Cause I realize I love you not her." With that remark he gave her one more kiss.
