**HASHIBA MAEHARA **
AAHH!!~ Over ten days of Exams! It's finally over! I let out a big sigh as I'm leaning forward on my desk, stretching my arms out. Everyone is running out of the classroom, excitement. The loud environment could make me go crazy. It's that loud... Today is,...Result day...I don't really care about what position I get...
"Maehara!" Yusari shouts as she storms in...And I didn't get a second of silence.
"You won't believe what happened!" Oh no! Don't tell me there's more exams!
"What?..."
"Come! Just look for yourself!" It's like she found a dead body. I got up and said,"Fine!" I felt so tired. I didn't eat anything since yesterday. We walked through the hallway and found a bunch of students crowding around the notice board.
"What is it?...Y'know...I'm not interested in who got first..."
"No! Look!" She said as she moved my head to the direction of the board. "It's Mitsuru!"
"Huh?..." I was captivated in confusion that instead of looking at the first position, I started searching for Mitsuru's name, at the bottom of the chart.
(That dumbass, called a 'son of bitch' was able to outsmart every student in this damn school!) Everything became quiet and all the other students slowly looked at me...I then realised..."I said that out loud!"
"Well...it seems that that 'son of a bitch', out smarted the biggest dumbass here...!"
**SAYURI SCHREIBER **
I can't believe what I just saw! "Mitsuru!!" I breathed rapidly as I was still panting. I ran across the whole entire school! I'm standing infront of Mitsuru's door, I need ANSWERS! I knock very quickly on his door as if I'm about to knock it down! Which is exactly what I'm prepared to do!
"Open the door!"
"What?!" He said in frustration before opening the door. "Hm..what do you want?.." I slowly catched my breath before looking up to look at his...FAAACE!!!
"YOU'RE WEARING GLASSES???!!!" He looks really good in them. But I was more shocked of what I was thinking than what I was saying. He looked at me confused,"Oh!..." he didn't reliesed that he was wearing them.
"Yeah...they're reading glasses...I can't see things that are close up...but I'm good without them too..."
"Oh okay. .." I said calmly.
"HOW DID YOU GET FIRST POSITION???!!!" I broke the storm. "You barely came to class! Why do you deserve such high status?!..." After a short pause, he says, "....what are you talking about?..." I getting irritated.
"How did you get 100 % in the EXAMS?!" I was losing my temper but Mitsuru just stared blankly ta me with confusion. which was very annoying!....
"Oh. ..what about the exams?.."
"Argh! Forget it! I'm sure you cheated somehow!! This can't be true!!" I snarled at him as I storm off over to see Mr Shintaru.
"...cheated...I didn't know you could cheat on your exam...Weird..." ⬅Clearly doesn't know how to cheat...
**YUSARI AKABANE **
"You have to tell us the truth!!" All three of us screamed at once, demanding Mr Shintaru to tell us how Mitsuru did it.
"I only marked the math exam!" Mr Shintaru claimed in his defense! But this is not a protest! It's a trail!
"Objection!"
"We're in a classroom not a courtroom, Yusari...💦" Mr Shintaru sighs as I'm about to reveal the truth!
"I saw you marking the classic Japanese papers the other day!"
"Yeah...That's true..." (Maehara )I have my defendants standing by my side!
"Yeah...well, where's the evidence supporting your statement, Yusari?.."
"Evidence?...." .....EVIDENCE!!.... I can't believe it! I've been undone! My crush has attacked me! His statement are so overwhelming! I can't even think! {"Where's. .....The. ...evi..dence... .."} No! What should I do to my defense?!I need to think of something!!! Let's think back!!
On the 21st of May at exactly 1:49 pm!
Mr Shintaru just finished taking in our History test. He left the classroom, and as he was walking through the hallway, he meets Mr Kohinata (our classic Jap teacher..) Their conversation is inaudible but you can see Mr Kohinata handing some test papers over to Mr Shintaru. So, this must be our classic Japanese test Papers! BUT! One of two things could've happened afterwards! One; Mr Kohinata could've asked Mr Shintaru to send the papers to the head office. Or two; Mark the papers for him! It has to be the second one! Think I have no proof!...
Well, Mr Shintaru then took the papers and went to thee class next door, class 3-C! That's when Maehara probably saw Mr Shintaru marking the exams! So, there's my proof! ⬅Confident....
"Where's the evidence supporting your statement?..."
"...." It's time for the moment of truth! ...."Don't ask bombarding questions! I have my witnesses!" ⬅All that for nothing....
" Well....I have no idea what Mitsuru's been doing...But maybe..He's doing something that you guys haven't made a habit of..." He continues.
"Really?!" Sayuri's eyes sparkle in curiosity.
"What's that? " Maehara says.
"....Studying..."
🔸28TH MAY 2007🔸
🔵Wow!~ I found a little cat in the garden. He's so small and thin. It seemed hungry. At first, I was scared, but the cat is very gentle, and I took him inside and gave him bread. He's my new best friend!I want to name him...
₩ki₩tty₩k₩i₩₩k₩i₩....What about...Ame?...Ame. Ame has white fur and blue eyes. Except his fur is dirty and I want to give him a bath...but he won't go in...I wonder why?🔵
✴"Meow!~" The little kitten cried. Mitsuru is sitting on the floor, reading a book. Ame pats Mitsuru's arm, as he felt a soft little tickle, he looks at him straight away. "Oh...What is it, Ame?..." The kitten softly stares at 8 year old Mitsuru, with his crystal blue eyes. His eyes were unimaginably beautiful. Mitsuru smiled and gently patted it's head. "Maybe, you're hungry..." He said quietly to himself as he stood up but froze still when Hest came to the realisation that he had no food for himself....How is he supposed to feed his furry little friend, when he can't even feed himself?
"It seems like we dont have any food yet...." he sighed. He then looked at Ame in sadness, because his new friend is hoping to give him some food and Mitsuru feels like he's letting him down.
"Hmm...I know. I'm sure mom has something! It is dangerous though, so is need you to stay here, ok Ame?...I promise I'll get you something!" Mitsuru declared hie promise in confidence and he closed the door after him. Mitsuru reached downstairs and entered the dark room, where his mother stays. The dark room was messy, junk and bottles were everywhere, they took up most of the floor space. The mother lay drunkily on the couch, she was sleeping. Next to her, was was a bin, where she would vomit in or throw wrappers of candy bars. Opposite her was the TV, which was where the on they light was omitting from. On the coffee table, there was a bunch of alcohol bottles.
Mitsuru peeks through the crack of the door, he sees his sleeping mother. His eyes showed excitement. He opened the door quietly, hoping, that his mother won't wake up. He steps in and inhales the intoxicating air, mixed with the texture of vomit, which made him sick.
Mitsuru looked around at the mess, anything that he could find, he would eat. He carefully takes a look inside pixxa boxes, inside them were left over crust from the pizza. It seems like his mother doesn't like eating crust, so he collected as many as he could. He stuffed them into his pocket, quietly. Then, suddenly, the door rattled. Mitsuru got up in excitement, smiling widely, as he he ran towards the door.
"Mahiru!~" He gasped. ..But he froze upon his words, when he saw who it was. A man walked in, slammed the door shut. Mitsuru became frightened, staring up at this man, he has never seen before. This made Mitsuru's heart sink. He was anxious with fear. The man came, made a crooked smile and said,"Why, Hello there, little man!~"
The man bends on his knees to carefully inspect the 'little man'. Unfortunately, he stops smiling, leaving Mitsuru with a cold and chilling silence. The man frowned as he noticed, Mitsuru's disgusting appearance, such as his dirty and shaggy clothes, and the pieces of 'food' stuffed in his pockets.
Mitsuru was still overwhelmed with fear, he didn't know how to react. Until, the slowly stood up. SMACK! Mitsuru fell with a huge thud. "You piece of shit!! Don't you f*cking dare look at me like that!!" He screamed so loudly that the mother was alerted from her slumber. She gets up, runs out of the room and stands there, to understand the situation. "Hinata...What are you doing here?..." Her voice was slow, her face looked worried, more like a sad expression of confusion ponders around her face. "You never F**king told me, you had a kid!!!" He roared angrily at, what seems to be, his girlfriend.
Mitsuru lay there infront of these two monstrous giants, he stays frozen in fear. His head lowered down with his hands on top of his head. He knows what's going to happen. His face is streaming with tears, he's struck, shivering in his brace position. The question ponders in his mind. ..."What will happen to me?..."
🔴MITSURU FUKUYAMA 🔴
According to Sayuri, I 'apparently ' got 100% in all of my papers. Which really didn't surprise me beacuse I caught up with all of the subjects and the work that I missed in the first 2 weeks of school, in only 4 days. It's always been like this in the past, my sister, Mahiru would teach me the 2 time tables, and I got them memorised by just looking at them once. So, I memorised all the 12 time tables in one day. For some reason, I was always good at maths. Back in those days, when Mahiru was busy with work or school, I would spend my time reading and writing. I used to write stories that took books to finish. The reason why I had to catch up with everything from the beginning again, was because, after she died, I didn't go to school, I just had to work all day and learned how to cook for myself. However, I wouldn't call myself smart but rather....overly intelligent.
"Sorry I'm late..." I ran into class, being the last one that entered the classroom.
"WOW! That's the first time I've heard him say sorry to the teacher. .." A bunch of girls gossiping about me.
"That's the first time I've ever heard him talk!" And it'll be the last time ever, you punks!
"Congratulations, Mitsuru! For getting first position during the 1st term exams!" He starts clapping!...And suddenly everyone starts applauding!! Why am ir being the center of attention?!
I just realised something. ...My class is weird...Why are they cheering for me?! I mean, who does that?!
Slowly, the loud applaud dies down. I sigh, and awkwardly return to my seat and I can sense that all eyes were on me.
"All right, everyone! Congratulations on passing the term exams! I'm sure all you passed. ..Except you, Souta. ..You're just below average...Take those headphones Off! " I don't know who this Souta guy is but I'm sure he's the one wearing headphones, until someone next to him snatches it off his head. "Oi! Give it back!-" He tries to reach out for as he whines. "Souta!" Mr Shintaru gave a loud, frightening voice, which echoes the whole room, and everyone came to a halt.
"Pay attention!"
"Okay! Fine!" He said pouting.
"Now, that the exams are over! It's time to prepare for the summer cultural festival, which will be held on the 31st of this month. Usually, in highschool, you'd have the cultural festival during July or August. But here we do it differently. Since we have Summer vacation coming up soon, We have to hold the festival alot earlier!"
"Ah!~"
"What?!"
"Awesome! I'm so excited!"
The whole class cheered and whined...but I don't get it...what's a summer festival...
"WOW! Isn't it exciting?!" Sayuri says, talking to me, since when did dhe get There?..Has she always been sitting next to me?... I simply ignore the question. "This is gonna be my first cultural festival in japan! I can't wait!"
I refused to say anything...Because I'm not bothered.. But then I notice Sayuri has been STARING at me for my reply... "Hm...What's a cultural festival?..."
"What?!" Why is she so angry? I honestly don't know...and I don't care...
"A cultural festival is!..." Then she continues the history of Japanese festivals....I said...I don't care. ..
**YUSARI AKABANE **
We're having a cultural festival! Yay!....How are we gonna do this in three DAYS?!
Mr Shintaru worked so hard to perfectly plan this out! He's so perfect! The class rep and Izumi are gonna take part in the cultural festival committee. I'm just glad it wasn't me... Our class, class 3-A, will be setting up a small maid cafe! I don't think these any reason to bes excited about all of this...The only thing I'm worried about is....how are we gonna pull this off in the 3 DAYS?!!!
🔸28TH MAY 2007🔸
🔴Mom hurt me...so much... It still hurts...I tried to get food for Ame...But in the end...I just got more hurt...When I touch my bruises, I can't feel anything. I feel numb but on the inside the pain is sizzling. At least Ame was able to eat... But I'm still hurt...Mahiru...when are you coming home!...🔴
🔴MITSURU FUKUYAMA 🔴
I don't care about a stupid festival.
I don't care about teamwork.
And I don't care about getting involved with people!
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Hey! Mitsuru! Come out! We need back up!"
"You don't plan to stay in there all day, do you?!"
"What are you guys doing? We got so much work to do!"
I longed for silence...but these three just had to piss me off!
"MITSURU!!" They shout together.
"Ah!~" I hate you....
