Necklace

Description

A short story in the first person POV of a necklace. I know this sounds stupid, but yeah..

Foreword

I wish someone would buy me. Every day I see those other stupid accessories get purchased.

Ugh.

It's so unfair. I mean... I'm cool too! Hmph.

Oh, what is this? Does someone want to buy me and take me home? I see a tall, pretty blonde lady walk up to me. The human takes me off the shelf and smiles brightly at me; I can see the excitement in this human's face. But I also noticed that she had a faint expression of sadness, specifically in her eyes. She picks me up and brings me to the counter as the cashier scans me. The girl takes out some cash and hands it to the male cashier. 

"Thank you and have a nice day" the worker tells my new mistress.

At long last! I am finally out of that store!

My new mistress goes into this weird, stuffy and crowded place. The walls had graffiti, unlike the place I originally lived. I think this is what humans call a train station. I remember the accessories from the 'pre-used' section telling me about this once. We make our way to our new home and I heard her open the door.

"Mom, I'm home." The pretty blonde says.

"Good timing Nana. Go clean yourself up so we can have dinner." Her mother replies from the kitchen.

"Alright."

I'm still in the bag and I was getting dizzy because I'm pretty sure she was walking up the stairs and shaking the bag. Finally after a while, she puts down the bag. I hear my mistress close the door and sigh.

She takes me out of the plastic bag and holds me up dangling with only two fingers.

"I'm sure Lizzy will like this." The human says while looking at me.

Who is this Lizzy person? But I knew this meant that I will be given away as a gift soon. What a bummer, I finally get an owner and now I'll be given away to a new human. Although I do hope this Lizzy person will like me.

Nana puts me down on the desk as she makes her way to this other room. I hear some noise that reminds me of the running water that I used to hear from the water fountain that was outside of the store I was from. I'm pretty sure a pair of earrings told me this is what humans call a 'shower'. When she finished, she opened her room's door and I heard her going downstairs. Probably to eat the dinner that her mother said was almost ready.

Later, the door opened once again and my mistress came back. She goes back to the bathroom and comes back shorty. Suddenly, the room got really dark. Nana walk towards what human beings call a 'bed'. The ring that was on the shelf next to mine says this is where humans rest. What strange creatures they truly are.

The air breather sighs really loudly. I wonder what could be bothering her.

The rest of the night was pretty quiet and the next thing I knew, it was morning. Nana goes through her daily morning routine and puts me inside her jeans' side pockets. 

"I'm leaving mom." Nana says and closes the front door.

We go to a learning center for humans that I heard the other humans refer to as 'school'. I pretty much stayed in that pocket for most of the morning. Occasionally I would see Nana take me out and inspect me. She wore this unreadable face that I other students referred to as 'cold'. But to me, she's hiding something. It must be because I was designed for people. I could tell how they felt and this blonde girl is definitely more than meets the eye.

It is now 7th period and I think this period is known as lunch. It's basically the only period of the day that doesn't have torture these poor children with unreasonable amounts of work.

Nana sits down shyly on this chair and almost sat on me!

A few moments later, the table became filled. My owner sat next to this other girl, I'm pretty sure it's a female because if not, this male has one of the most feminine voices I've ever heard. Anyways, judging from the conversations, I could tell these two were somewhat close.

"Jin. Did you do the calculus homework?"

"I did. It was easy, but too many questions" My mistress responded. Jin? I didn't know that Nana has another name.

"Can I please see it?" The girl begged.

"Fine. You owe me Park Lizzy"

Lizzy? Is this the girl that Nana was talking about yesterday?

Suddenly, I felt Nana rustling through the pocket that I was in and slowly take me out.

"Lizzy. I have a gift to give you." Nana says.

I looked at this Lizzy girl. She had shoulder length brunette hair and a cute, playful face.

"This is so pretty! But why?" Lizzy asked while looking at me.

"Well Christmas is next week you know." Nana chuckled.

"Thanks Jin!" Lizzy says and places a kiss on Nana's cheek. I could see my previous owner blushing a little.

"You're welcome. Here. Let me put it on for you." The blonde helped put me on Lizzy's neck and I saw Lizzy kiss Nana's cheek again. Nana must be so happy! Lizzy really likes me! I can tell my mistress has some kind of feelings for this Lizzy girl.

I spent the next 2 period with my new owner. The last bell of the day rang and she goes to her locker. I noticed she seemed a bit different from before. The Lizzy now wore a serious face.

"Hey Soo!" I heard my previous owner's voice and saw her walk through the door. Soo? Why can't people just have one name?!

"Hey Jin..." Lizzy mumbles.

Nana raised her eyebrow and stared at the younger girl, waiting for her to continue speaking.

"I have something to tell you. Can you wait for me for a bit?" Lizzy asks.

Nana simply nodded and waited for Lizzy to gather all their stuff. Once she finished, the two of them walked to this empty staircase. 

"What's wrong Soo?" Jin questioned.

Lizzy sighed and looked at my original owner with a serious expression. She grabbed her shoulders and stared at the taller girl.

"Jin... you DO know that I have a boyfriend right?"

Nana's smile slowly falls, but I could see her faking a smile with her eyes.

"Of course. When I confessed to you, I even told you that I wasn't expecting anything from you. I'm glad you're happy with Myungsoo." Nana said while forcing a smile.

"Okay. I just don't want you to think of something else. Just because I accepted your present doesn't mean I accepted your feelings" Lizzy says with a serious tone.

Did... this girl really just say that?

Once again, I saw Nana's facade slowly break.

"I-I know Soo. D-Don't worry. This present was just a friend thing"

"So do you want to return this present?" Lizzy asks.

Nana shakes her head, still forcing that fake eyesmile.

"Nah. It's fine. A gift is a gift. Plus I lost the receipt. And to tell you the truth, I actually had planned to give up on you officially at the end of this week"

"Oh..."

"Yeah"

Lizzy smiles and hugs Nana while kissing her on the cheek.

"I'm glad you understand. Bye Jin! I'm meeting up with Myungsoo now!"

"Bye" The latter mumble sadly. I could feel the pain in the taller girl's heart. After spending a couple of boring hours with Lizzy and her boyfriend, we go to her house. She takes me off her neck and places me on the wooden desk.

She looks at me and had a much undecided face on her. She really seems like she doesn't know what to do.

I don't understand why she's like this. Because Lizzy is wearing me, I can feel what she’s thinking. This is why I don’t get why she’s saddened by this. She's the one who hurt Nana. She's the one who continues to lead Nana on with false hope and then shuts her down completely. You two were friends before she confessed, but why are you treating her like this? You’re the one who told her that you would date her if you weren’t already dating your boyfriend. Why didn’t you just reject her? What makes this worse is you asked to remain friends with her, but you’re treating her so differently now. How did you honestly expect Nana to move on if you told her that there is a chance for you to return her feelings in the future if you become single?

Why Lizzy? You want her to give up, but when she tries, you do things to pull her back in.

Why are you hurting mistress so much? How could you assume that she was trying to buy your love or affection? She clarified a long time ago that she wasn’t expecting anything from you. She knows you have a boyfriend.

She knows. She just wanted to give you a present. Please don't hurt her anymore.

She may tell you that she's fine.

She may give you those reassuring smiles.

But I know better.

Please just stop this.

Stop hurting Nana.

The End

This was really random, but it’s a story of what is happening to me right now. The situation is basically a retelling of my problems lately. This is partially  the reason why I have been in no mood to write fanfics.

Since I still don't have enough karma to upvote this, I'm gonna settle with subscribing. Once I had earned enough, I'll go back to this fic and upvote this.

This fic made me giggle, to be honest, since this is the first time I had encountered such approach and coming from an accessory's point of view. Nevertheless, it was very creative and though it was a sad fic, it was a good one. Congrats for that! And I hope that whatever you are going through when you wrote this fic is already resolved, I'm hoping for the best for you!
