Hey everyone, sorry for the wait. Heres the third chapter, honestly I rewrote this chapter multiple times cause I didn’t like how it sounded. Hopefully it turned out okay and you all like it. Oh and the song in this chapter isn’t mine obviously, it’s from Angel Beats, Ichi ban no takaramono. One of my favorite songs honestly. Anyways hopefully you enjoy this chapter and again any feedback is a welcome.
Chapter 3
(Mei’s p.o.v)
It's already been two weeks since I started school and met Naomi. And it’s been a crazy two weeks, no surprise there. There’s not one time I had to myself, even going to the bathroom is a pain. I’m constantly surrounded by everyone, the paparazzi are outside the school waiting to take pictures and some have even snuck in just to find me. Even students and some teachers are taking pictures of me. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aRQo0uQym
Actually there is one time I have to myself and that’s lunch but that’s only thanks to Naomi showing me her hidden spot. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMfYsePnj
Okay it’s not so much hidden but it’s the only place no one goes to and that’s the school roof. So I somehow manage to sneak up to the roof everyday and Naomi is there waiting for me. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rSoI9N1hb
Oh speaking of my Angel, turns out we have the same classes. People have tried to get me to hang out with them and stuff but I always reject them and come up with an excuse as to why I can’t. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nAXlD5YoV
Despite all the attention I’m getting Naomi is very understanding when I’m late to lunch or when we both walk in the halls together.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjqqjXy7TP
She doesn’t really say much about anything cause she’s very soft spoken and extremely shy. So it’s mainly me that starts conversations and talks. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem with that in fact I find it very cute and part of her charm. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHBKUthJRF
Although there is one thing that concerns me and that’s her arms are wrapped in bandages. She thinks I haven’t seen them since she always wears her hoodie but I see them briefly. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrKwBDNUpD
As bad as I want to come out and ask her, I don't want to force her or make her feel like she has to tell me. When she’s comfortable and ready to tell me herself I’ll be ready to listen. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8gN0rpSEp
To be honest I'm already falling for her, like really bad. There’s no point in lying to myself. Which brings us to my current predicament. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVL9YvyOfs
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPvVAgSg40
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eOIhOVfy8
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw51f9kC86c
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAmC1ACO7
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wbNeuYHIz
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmfFDrTWae
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PYJhFzQAS
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S3DMaFnGV
“Hey Mei, wanna have lunch with us later? I’ll save you a seat.” I turn around to see Heather, the most popular girl in the school and her group of friends. You probably already guessed it but she’s the one that mainly bullies Naomi and tries to get me to be part of her group. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ6mxYXXbk
No thank you, I have to deal with enough people like her. I see her glare at Naomi who is behind me so I step in front of Naomi giving a fake smile.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTdd1e40Mr
“Thanks for the offer again but I’m gonna have to say no. I’m already having lunch with Naomi.” Her face twitches as she fakes a smile as well. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CIvXSlUHS
“Oh okay that’s too bad. Maybe next time.” With that she and her group left and I could hear her mutter something under her breath. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQonAWdpgS
A big sigh escapes my lips. I wish I could just tell her to leave me alone but I have to keep up an image here.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaKqVdzTHM
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP8BFEmuqh
Who can blame her though her biggest bullie glared at her. Heather won’t do anything to Naomi as long as I’m with her but if for some reason she’s not by my side, I’m scared as to what may happen. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jJe9OcwnD
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO8tbYUGK7
Without realizing my hand is cupping her face. “Hey don’t worry about her okay? As long as I’m around you don’t have to worry about anyone doing anything to you alright?” My voice is ever so gentle and full of warmth. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1unKmIXar
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIsft4cZYS
An idea pops into my head. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsTTcJzLHG
“Hey want a private concert? I know you’ve probably heard me sing but it’ll be just for you. What do you say? How about at lunch?” Her eyes widened a bit. Blue eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDbvoelQJ2
“It’s because I want to, that's all.” I answer her guessing what she wanted to ask and looks like I was right cause she slowly nods. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23pek4LcxR
A huge smile appears on my face. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0OzQLkhW
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QI2p8aU3E
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxJw5i2Y1b
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrlpUMvg9r
(Time skip) 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52SZu75v2S
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVYsTHhjkB
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc0m5JQSj9
I feel butterflies in my stomach and a huge smile appears on my face. “Well I’m glad to see my suffering brings you enjoyment.” I tease walking over to her and sit next to her. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uWbTLW89c
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64VkHabEST
I noticed she was drawing as her sketchbook was out. This time it was a picture of….me? I feel my face heat up and my heart beat faster. It looks so real even for a sketch. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzSVyXw10k
“I-Is that me?” I gesture to her drawing to which her face reddens even more and she hides her face in her knees only slightly nodding. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxArB9tqyy
Not knowing what to say silence befalls the both of us. Say something! Anything! Looking over to her my heart breaks at what I see. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIqYGHlfEa
Her body trembling in fear and guilt. She thinks I’m disgusted or mad at her drawing me which couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything I'm touched and amazed. Her drawings are so realistic and detailed. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreAhr9063A
I remember telling her that she should post them on the internet but she shook her head no and told me that she’s not confident to show people and that she’s afraid of criticism. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkl5xNPaHL
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwyWsTi4d5
“Naomi…” 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1CbSkz2hK
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMMDLK4jlV
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ly6fSSpbU
“It’s okay Naomi, I’m not mad or disgusted or anything. Promise, if anything I’m touched that you would draw me. Plus I love your drawings, you know that…” I chuckle lightly hoping to lighten the mood. “Your drawings are so beautiful and breathtaking. Not just anyone can draw like that, meaning you’re very talented and special. I don’t care what anyone says, you're amazing Naomi.” 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWxkeXeaBs
Sadly Naomi only panics more as she covers her ears muttering I’m sorry and she didn’t mean to. My heart shatters not knowing what to do or what happened. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoHEAsi4vE
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE6KYSc5u6
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqLuYQdDdH

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4n00yxKhE
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvM4URJksm
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHyZ20pMc2
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7o6ea9dg6
“Don’t worry I'm not judging, there’s nothing to be ashamed about.” It looks like she didn’t fully listen since she just stares at the ground. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt1d1Bu4T6
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg0U4SJhTy
“I’m not gonna ask until you're ready to tell me okay? So don’t worry. While I am worried and curious I’m not gonna force you to tell me.” Smiling ever so gently at her she gives a weak smile back.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoi8inGAX
I hug her again but this time I hold her close and I can feel her tense up but quickly loosen up hugging me back. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU8eUJK4X0
While I’m happy I was able to calm her down, something really concerns me and worries me. That’s what happened to Naomi to make her like this. I try my best to put it to the back of my mind but it’s gonna plague my mind for a while. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yD3cK5VjY
Oh Naomi. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sQCFWlnSD
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamyx07ee5
“So what did you think of the song? It’s one of my recent songs I released but I’ve never sung it live yet.” Quickly trying to change the subject to lighten the atmosphere. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSgs8MSuEr
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xJTFeuon
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZMmEdlNkP
“It’s fine you don’t need to say anything. I can already tell what you think.” I smile to reassure her it’s fine. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QzzRbLgpR
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbItXvDIOE
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNz4bscmt9
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4oGE47vUq
“We should get going.” I stand up with her still holding hands. I glance over to her and give her a smile full of warmth. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLvdKV2pmS
Naomi’s past may be a mystery and a lot of pain but hopefully one day she trusts me enough to open up letting me in. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xl1fPvNfu
I’ll wait however long she needs. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw8vpsRMAZ
