The Definition of a Friend
§@ªÌ¡RVinice


    I wrote this fic at the beginning of this year.. it's

actually already up at my site^^ anyway, it's not much 

about SenRu relationship but instead friendship.. hope 

you don't mind.. it's just something nice to read..lol.. 



    happy reading. 



    How do you consider that someone is a friend or not??

Ever wonder how many friends you have?? What does our two

SD characters thinks of the word ¡§friends¡¨?? 



    Here two POV for two different guys¡K.it¡¦s separated

by the line in the middle. Enough said^^ happy reading. 




I was scold again today. My parents came back to Japan yesterday night. Just exactly like what I presumed, they wanted me to follow them back to America and as always like the past few years, I refused. And like always, I got some serious lecturing from both of them. My dad said that I¡¦m ¡§useless¡¨. I admit I can be a total smart ass in one thing like basketball I guess and totally ¡§useless¡¨ in another thing. In this case, my social life but then no one is perfect is there?? I once saw a show and they say, ¡§he maybe a genius in one thing but he¡¦ll be a total jerk in other aspects. God is fair!¡¨ But then again, the fact is I like it just the way it is, maybe yes it¡¦s true that my scope of friends is very small, too small for others maybe, but I still don¡¦t consider myself a total loner. I¡¦m happy enough to have a small number of people I called friends, even if it¡¦s as small as one. For me, my own definition of friends can be totally different thing then what others think. Some people consider anyone and everyone that they¡¦ve met, talk to as a friend. Someone you meet today in school and both of you smiled at each other. Is that your friend? Wow!! I guess then the whole school is my friend then??!! There is only one word for that, ¡§SCARY!¡¨ I met someone today while waiting for my turn to take my driving test. We talked.. I guess you could say a lot since I rarely talked to anyone and after the long talk, he said, ¡§ well, since I guess we get to meet each other we can call ourselves friends,¡¨ I gave him a small polite smile, well you talked to a total stranger for about half and hour and you are friends??? I won¡¦t even see him again after this!! What happen to the terms that someone who really knows you, understands you?? Be there when you¡¦re happy to share your joy?? And most important of all, be there when your down and lend you a helping hand?? What are they?? Parents?? Not really the exact answer, since not all parents understand their kids well enough even if they think they do, and do they do what was listed above? I guess you can call these people ¡§endangered species¡¨ if you ever find one, cherish it, it¡¦s something very special. I¡¦m very happy and content that I have one, yes ONE! Only one u may ask??!! What I considered a real true friend.. yes! He is the only one. What about female friends then?? Well, the funny thing is there¡¦s a whole different definition of ¡§friends¡¨ for the opposite sex. Female ¡§friends¡¨?? as long as I can have a nice on- going conversation with a girl and the fact that we¡¦ve known each other for a long time (note: not in half and hour) then I guess they are my friends. Don¡¦t really understand?? Simple: Ayako is a female friend of mine, Haruko is umm.. Akagi¡¦s sister, Yumiko is my class monitor and all the girls in my class are just happen to be attending the same class as me, and for the rest of them they are merely Shohoku¡¦s students, get it?? So in the end, you can come to the conclusion that is not that I don¡¦t have many friends like you people or I¡¦m anti-social, it¡¦s just that your definition of ¡§ friends¡¨ and mine are different. I¡¦m happy and content with my one friend, if I¡¦m going to go through the rest of my live with just one friend, so be it, as long as it¡¦s him. ^^ --------------------------------------------------------- Someone said to me, ¡§ hey, how I wish to be like you . You have so many friends!!¡¨ What did I do then? Well, what I always do, I smiled. A mere smile that didn¡¦t mean anything, people always think that I¡¦m a very friendly person because I always smile. But the truth is I smile because I have no idea what else is there to do, you could say it¡¦s a way for me to escape away from things. When I was seven years old, I accidentally knocked over someone who was older than be, a bigger boy. I was scared and I didn¡¦t know what to do, I couldn¡¦t even utter a simple word, ¡§ sorry¡¨ and so I smiled. I didn't know why but I just smile. Surprisingly, I got away with it, the bigger boy just said, ¡§ Wipe that stupid grin of your face,¡¨ and he walked away. When I was ten, a teacher called me up and asked me a question, I didn¡¦t know what was the answer and I don¡¦t know what else to do, and once again that smile appeared on my face. I got away with it again, ¡§Sendoh, you¡¦re such a cute little boy but you must remember to study harder, okay? Now sit down,¡¨ From then on, I just keep on smiling. And now someone says that I have a lots of friends and wants to be like me. I never thought of the word ¡§friends¡¨ seriously before. Did I really have a lot of friends?? If so, then why I never noticed about it?? maybe¡K maybe because I never thought of them as friends?? What is a friend?? If I¡¦ve met someone in school today and smiled at each other, is that friends?? Or having a short conversation with some student in school, is that a friend, too?? Wow!! Won¡¦t that make everyone in school my friends??!! There is one word I can think of , ¡§SCARY!!¡¨ I thought friends were someone who really knows you, understands you?? Be there when you¡¦re happy to share your joy?? And most important of all, be there when your down and lend you a helping hand?? What are they?? Parents?? I don¡¦t really know if that is the correct answer since I¡¦ve lost my parents when I was eleven. I don¡¦t really understand the term ¡§parents¡¨, when I was just a little boy, I just think them as mom and dad, two people who is there to protect this little boy and to give me presents when it¡¦s my birthday, cloths and food. But it's that all?? I know it should be more than that but I guess I won¡¦t giving more time to understand it since I was only eleven. So in the end, you can come to the conclusion that is not that I don¡¦t noticed those people who are suppose to be my ¡§friends¡¨, it¡¦s just that I don¡¦t really understand the term friends in the first place. But I do have that someone I could relate to, somehow he seems to understands me, funny right? And somehow I care very much about him and what he thinks of me..and many more unexplainable feelings and thoughts. Maybe ¡§ friends¡¨ has no exact definition after all, maybe it's un-explainable. If it is so, then I guess he is my friend maybe..maybe much more than that,too.^^

    Okay? How was it?? sigh!! Comments? Plz,do let me 

know what do u think about it. 



    The first part was planned before I wrote it but the 

Sendoh¡¦s part was made up as I write so maybe it¡¦s not

that good. 



    This is coz the first POV was actually mine^^;; I 

got scolding from my mom the other day and after that I 

went to my room and wrote down my feelings¡Ksigh..it 

actually has a lot more about my future education 

choices and blah blah¡Kbut then it's not really suited 

for the fic so I skip that part. ^^;; 



    And the second part I decided to add it last minute 

as I finish the first POV coz I think it¡¦s too short..

haha..so there it is! 



    Vinice. 



    Happy SenRu Day 2002!!
