A Stranger to My World.

Soshite 2 Nin Wa… (And So, The Two People…)

From the Chibi Vampire Kain OST. :)

Hi, hello, my name is Janelle Alfaro, and I am writing this story while listening to “And So, The Two People…” from the Chibi Vampire Karin OST. Basically this melody has inspired me to write this short story. I know SOME people are sick of hearing vampires and all that, but PLEASE take the time to read/watch the Chibi Vampire manga/anime. But most definitely the manga. I can’t tell you what exactly is in it, but it has comedy, romance, suspense, vampires, and drama. DRAMA. The ending is really sad, I tell you. That’s what made me LOVE themanga. Go read it NOW.

This story that I wrote is a bit cheesy though. You’ve been warned. Carry on.


We were two different people.
A boy and a girl.

What lies beneath is different.
The boy stands tall, possibly unaware of the girl’s existence.
I am the girl, who sits in the corner, staring blankly onto the fields.
Mumbling on how much I wanted to talk to him.

We bumped into each other one day.
I smiled though looking away.
He stares as if he didn’t care.
I moved along, not looking back.

He sat next to me during break, much to my surprise, and I hadn’t realized
Until he talked to me.
“You alright?” he asked with a grin.

We talked for a while.
Exchanged thoughts.
Shared laughs.
We couldn’t care less of the world around us.
We’ve continued this for a long time.

I felt comfortable around him. As if I can tell anything, everything, to him.

One day, he didn’t come up to me.
We haven’t exchanged looks.
I kept staring at him, trying to read his expressions.
He looked OK to me.

I tried to talk to him. He said he was fine.
Though his voice makes me want to cry.
I sensed anger from the tone of his voice.

I thought he needed some space.
I avoided him, much to my dismay.

The next day I didn’t see him.
I waited for him on the place where we first talked.
I thought he would like to share what was it…
that clouded up his mind.

He didn’t come.
I stood up, thinking I have somehow affected
what he’s going through right now.

He looked different from when I first saw him. Badly different.
I couldn’t help but think that this is somehow my fault.
I kept blaming myself.

For some reason,
him not being around had an effect on how I viewed
the world without him.

I walked down, my hands fisted.
Tears running down.
I couldn’t stop. I kept going.
I want to find him.
I need to find him.

Back home, I saw a note. It was from him.

I knelt down on the floor. Read the whole story.
I crunched the paper. Though hesitating to throw it away.

If only I was there for him.
If only I knew what was going on.
If I have only looked deeply into his eyes
To see our differences.

What made us different.
What kept us apart.
What made me realize that…

I used to be the girl
Who sits in the corner, alone.
And he was the boy
Whom I’ve learned to love
And the boy…

A boy that I’ve never met before.
A person that I’ve never met before.
A stranger to this world.
To my world.

Fate brought us together.
Should I let fate down?

I packed my things.
Left a note on the kitchen table.
Took a last chance to look around my home.
I smiled as tears shuttered my eyes.

He knows where to find me.
I forced a smile.
Drying up my tears.
And left.
