"Bye!" Aron waved as he got in the car. I mouthed a 'bye' expressionlessly and started walking towards the garden.
I was a bit disappointed on myself to be frank. I could have train him a little more. But it was his first day, so I told him to go home fast.
Aron actually seemed pretty weak. He did look all buff and strong, but he was a rat compared to me. Both grandpa and Ichika always told me that I should make my student better than me. Thinking about Aron's situation, I really didn't have any idea how long it would take.
But if he's a fast learner, then it would be much easier for me. He also needed a lot of personality improvements.
Surprisingly he didn't ask any question to me anymore. It was obvious that he was curious. He was much clever than I thought he was; he tried to play it cool. But I was a step farther than him. I wished I could tell him everything.....why was I doing these? Why did I always try to act emotionless? Why was I so quiet? And lastly, hiw was his mother?
Maybe I was wrong before, no son could be heartless. But maybe a daughter could.....and that was me, who didn't care about my parents. I tried to love them, but I never got the love back. So in conclusions, I gave up on the love and emotions I had for my so-called-parents.
"Miss Yuqi what are you doing?!" a panicked voice of Huan came to my ears. He rushed towards me and took the watering pot from my hand.
"You are literally drowning the plants," he mumbled while breathing heavily.
I looked at the plants in front of me, he was absolutely right. I almost flooded the pants. This thing never happened before. I was distracted. I nodded my head in disbelief and ran towards my room.
No one was able to distract me, but my twisted thoughts did. And it all started from Aron.

I stood up from my chair as I put the paint brush in the clay pot. I felt a soothed feeling by looking at the painting I just drew.
It was inspired from the suicide forest of Japan. I came to know about this place a few years ago from Shirin. She told me that her brother was found dead at that place. It didn't look like a suicide to the police. They poured their blood, sweat and tears in the investigation. However, they were unable to solve the mystery of Shirin's brother's death. There were a lot of proofs that his death wasn't anything closer to suicide, he was killed.
After two years of her brother's tragic death, Shirin and her while family flew to America. Again, I became alone at the school.
Well now it was alright, I came to USA too.
It was unexplainable to even myself, but I was somewhat dying to investigate on Sami, Shirin's brother's death. Well I didn't have time. On top of that, even professionals couldn't solve the mystery. So even if I try, I wouldn't be successful.
Different people have different talents on different things. I had it on fighting and painting. Didn't know about Aron though. He seemed like a jerk just yesterday, but a whole different attitude represented him today. It's actually a normal thing for young adults, but it still bugged me.
I named the painting '๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด'. The forest was a famous suicidal site. Basically people came here to finish themselves. They definitely felt a lot of different emotions just a second before killing themselves. So the forest was filled with dead souls with a lot of emotions. It made sense to me. I drew the sky as if it was representing someone gloomy and sad. It was dark, filled with depressing words.
Somehow, this all looked beautiful to me. Anyone would find this beautiful until they find out the meaning behind it.
A 'meow' sound of Astro lingered to my ear and I felt something jumping in my shoulder to hug my neck. It even hadn't been a week and I was this close to Astro. Though this closeness wasn't a good thing to brag about, but I kinda enjoyed it. It tickled a lot, however, I managed to not laugh and let my cat do whatever he wanted.
I stroked out of the room and walked upstairs, still allowing my cat to hug my neck with his tiny hands.
A thought popped in my already messed up thoughts. What will be Garry, Tom and Alex's attitude towards me tomorrow? They were shocked today at school for sure. I groaned in annoyance, I shouldn't have been that dumb to show a bit of my strength to them.
On the other hand, what if Aron tells everyone about all the incidents that took place today? We can't trust anyone from day one. I was so dumb to trust someone like Aron Wang from day one. My anger was increasing slowly and head started aching.
Closing my eyes tightly, I tried to forget about the plethora of questions and regrets running through my mind. It seemed like nothing worked until a known smell came to my nose. The smell before it rains.....it unexpectedly calmed me down. My headache began to abate.
Soon, I could hear the sound of rain pouring on everywhere. It wasn't a heavy rain, it was a light one which strangely had the ability to calm me down. All the thoughts were defunct now. It felt like as if the people I had a bit feelings for came to me and calmed me down. Moments before, I turned into an aggressive puma who just jumped out of the cage. Now I was like a peaceful dove. But my heart didn't stop to beat fast.
I knew that this peaceful dove wouldn't last longer, it would fly away because it's afraid of it's surroundings; but it still had feelings. It was just the creature's fate to die by the cause of the guns everyone held to kill it.
