Chapter Text
"1314! 1314!" Party says running up to me. He is nice to me.
The other kids think Im weird or a freak, I don't know what they mean by that, but it doesn't sound nice.
"ああ、こんにちは。" I mumble, look up to him.
"Hehe I donno wha u jst said" he giggles sitting down next to me under the big tree in the school yard.
I have always like this tree. It feels safe, the playground does not feel safe. Too many not nice people, too many noises, too many things. The tree doesn't have those things.
"Oh sorry, I said hello" I said realizing I made a mistake.
"Dats okie!" He exclaimed looking over to me with his goofy smile.
"Anyways I gots u sum thing!" He shouts, slightly bouncing up and down with excitement.
"Quiet down a little, お願いです、声が大きすぎます。What is it?" I ask tilting my head in curiosity.
"Its a surprise! Al u gotta do is put out ur hands! Oh 'nd close ur eyes!" He chuckled, not correcting my mistake.
"Okay" I say closing my eyes and putting out my hands, all 4 of them coming together to make a cool bowl shape. Or at least I think it's cool.
I feel him place something in my hands, grabbing onto it to try and figure out what it is. It's light, but it has a nice texture, it's smooth with little bumps they move a little bit when touched, stoping then continuing when little square-like things appear having some type of intent in it, I stop again feeling little stars! Little stars are nice, they are not pointy so they will not poke into my "skin".
"Okie, u can open ur eyes!" He says.
I open my eyes to see a bracelet, it's a colorful. But most importantly it's Party colors, I like Party's colors, it has yellow, green, blue, purple, a brighter green, and a brighter yellow! It also has "BFF" I do not know what that means.
"Sooooooo, do u liek it?" Party asks, he has a sad look on his face. I do not know why.
"Mhm! I do not like it, I love it! It is even you colors! You have nice colors! But what does BFF mean? Is it a good thing?" I look at him smiling, he does not think my teeth are scary like the other kids. Other kids have normal teeth, I have sharp ones.
I put the bracelet around my top left hand, it is easier to fidget with it that way.
"Oh! BFF means Best Frends Forevr! I made it for u because ur my best frend! Look I evn made 1 wit u colrs!" He says happily, pulling his sleeve up to show a bracelet.
His bracelet was me colors! It has red, black, and white! It has the same design mine has, just instead of Party colors, it's has me colors. I like it.
"I made these to show to evryone dat we r best frends! No mater wat anyone thinks about us! If they think we r weird! We can b weird together!" Party cheers, pulling me into a hug.
"Oh wait I'm sorry, I forgot u dont liek hugs" he apologizes, slowly letting go of me.
I pull him back into the hug, all 4 of my arms wrap around him, squeezing him gently, making sure not to hurt him. His hugs are nice, he makes me feel safe.
"Don't be sorry, your hugs are okay. Other peoples hugs are not" I whisper, feeling his arms wrap around me.
"You know Poob? What happened to us?"
"Huh? Wat do u mean?" Poob asks, blowing that annoying party blower of theirs.
"We used to be friend, isn't that just hilarious?" I laugh, thinking back to that memory.
"I... I-" Poob tries to reply, but is caught off by the regretevator door opening to a new floor. Which happened to be my stop.
"さよなら." I chitter, walking out of the Regretevator. Still fidgeting with that same bracelet from all those years ago.
