Hello, this is my story my pain: the world through Michiru’s eyes. This story is rated Pg. and sailormoon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, but remember this story is mine, so please don’t steal it. ? Note, if Michiru and Haruka being lesbians offend you, you probably do not want to read this. My pain: the world through Michiru’s eyes It’s morning. The sun is shining. It looks to be another wonderful, but only to people who see the sun as good thing. I get up as always to take my shower. Haruka usually makes my breakfast (which is usually just cereal.) for me today, because today is Tuesday. Haruka isn’t home today, because she away at a big race in Kyoto. She’ll be gone for five days more. I wish she were here. I wish she didn’t leave yesterday. It would be all okay if Haruka was here. I don’t want to cry. I think it doesn’t matter if I cry in the shower, no one is here to see my puff red eyes. I don’t want to get dressed. I don’t want to wear my stupid maroon and light green school uniform. I just want to sit and cry in my room, but I know I must get dress and so I am. Walking to school is nice since no one bothers me on my walk. They will though when I get to school, because now they know I’m a lesbian. It all started yesterday. Haruka had left for the race that morning so she doesn’t know what’s happening. But anyway on to what happened, it all started in homeroom, everyone was joking around. They said (the girls in my class), “did your bishonen leave you?” and other bitter things like that. They’re all jealous of me because I have the most beautiful ‘boy’ in school. Well till they found out Haruka was a girl. They found out while I was talking to my homeroom teacher. My teacher asked my how ‘she’ was and then the girls started to listen in. And then I made the biggest mistake of my life I said "Haruka is fine, she’s away at a big race for the school.” and then the girls pointed and said in unison ‘HARUKA’S A GIRL!” and from that point on my life has is hell. I get pushed in the halls, all the tough girls want to beat me up, and any sort of person I used to talk to now hates me. The only nice thing that’s happened to me is the other sailor senshi have tried really hard to help me out. So now I have to build enough strength to go past those girls who I know are just waiting to push me in the mud. Why am I so afraid, I was never this afraid in my life? I wonder if it shows on my exterior? if it does I’m screwed. If they find out I’m scared they’ll never stop. I think that If I was with Haruka I’d be okay. I must do this. I don’t usually ever feel this way. My feet feel awkward and heavy. If I trip it’s all over, the girls are push in to the mud when I pass them. I hate how they think I’m a freak just for liking other girls. I really wish that Haruka was here, it she was those girls wouldn’t dare even think of hurting me. “Hey freak!” the tallest girl says to me. “Yes? What do you want from me?” I ask. “What the hell made you so messed up in life? is it that weird hair color of yours, or are all snotty bitches dikes?” the tall girl asks me. “Hair color has nothing to do with it,” I tell her, ”and… no not all snotty ‘bitches’ as you call them are ‘dikes’” “And why is that?” the tall girl remarked and then ties to spit on me but missed. “Well because,” I say with great confidence, “you’re not a lesbian.” I think that remark will keep them away from me for a while. The girls all seem very mad at what I said to their “leader”. they all look so funny; their faces are all red. Hehe, I don’t think they’ll be bothering me for a while Well I was right they didn’t bother me for a while, two whole days to be exact. On the third day, today, Rei is walking with me to school since she has the day off because her school is being renovated for bugs. “I’m really happy you could walk with me.” I tell Rei. “Oh, I’m happy to help. I know that now that Haruka is away from you must feel really lonely.” Rei says to me. “Yes I do feel lonely lately. Especially because of my class finding out.” I admit to her. Rei smiles at me and says to me. “It’s okay, the senshi will always be your friends.” “Thank you.” I say to her, “that makes me feel much better.” “I’m glad to help.” She tells me as we arrive at my school. “Hey look at the two freaks.” A voice says. I turn around it’s the same tall girl from two days ago. “Did you get a new girl friend?” the short chunky one asks me sarcastically. “Rei is not my girl friend, she’s just my friend.” I tell the group. “Ya right.” The little chunky on says. “Hey maybe the other girl doesn’t know.” The brunet in the back says to the tall leader girl. “Hey!” the tall leader girl says to Rei, “did you know your friends a dike?” the rest of the girls snicker after their leader tells Rei. “Yes, I’m aware that Michiru is a lesbian. Why do you think I have to be homosexual too to be her friend?” Rei yells at them. The group looks at each other and the back at Rei and I. The group now slowly departs except for the leader. “You should leave this school.” the leader tells me, “we don’t want any freaks of nature in our school. Come back when your chromosomes are fixed.” “It’s not my I who need to be fixed.” I tell her trying to hold back my tears; “ It’s you!” “There’s nothing wrong with me.” She tells me, “I’m perfectly fine, I’m second in our class and all the boys like me.” “Yes and I’m first in our class and your mad because I’m a lesbian and that means Haruka’s a girl and you can’t be her girl friend.” “SHUT UP!” the leader girl screams at me. Tears start to roll down her face. “Listen,” I say, “I don’t hate you. I just want this whole thing to be over.” “Ya… well I’m not going to stop you FREAK!” she sobs. “Come on,” I say to her as I try to help her up, but she only slaps my hand away and says, “You stupid bitch dike. I’ll never except charity from you.” I look back at Rei and say good bye and walk in to school the leader girl just sits there and cries and says “it’s not fair it’s not fair…Haruka was supposed to be mine.” I have a good feeling the worst is over. I think all I have to worry about now is how to break the news to Haruka that our secret is out. Well tell me what you think. You can email me at shinjichan@hotmail.com.
