School was surprisingly quiet that Thursday morning. Maybe because she wasn't in yet. The teachers were having a meeting so she could go scot-free that day. She got to the entrance of the class, panting. 'I just hope she isn't in school yet', she prayed. She opened the door and all that laughter and afterwards, her depression. Kyoko Shimamoto muttered to herself as the girls in her class laughed and pointed at her.
"Well, well, well. Look who's late again ladies. Honestly, you confuse me Shimamoto. How are you so slow to school when there's literally nothing to slow you down.", Oki Takahashi, the Queen Bee of Shizumi Junior High, said as she poked at Kyoko's chest.
The girls laughed even harder. So hard that Kyoko felt like crying her eyes out. They'd started making fun of her since the 6th year after all the girls in her class had developed leaving her in the trails. You'd think Kyoko would be used to it at this point.
"You're just a late bloomer", her older sister, Keiko, would say to make her feel better.
"They'll come in. You just wait and see", her older brother, Koichi, would say afterwards.
She dragged her sad body to her desk. As she put her head on her desk in an attempt to cry, she heard some people yelling at Takahashi and her posse.
"Are you girls really that petty?"
"You've made fun of her for so long!"
"Isn't it even getting boring for you guys?"
The boys in her class have always stood up for her. She felt embarrassed by them sometimes but it didn't mean that she was never grateful. They never cared about her being flat chested. Heck, some admitted they had actually fallen for her. The greatest of all of them was Sukuna Fujita. He was Kyoko's best friend and male athlete for the school while Kyoko took the female's position. They met on the track and their friendship started there. He respects Kyoko and honestly, is head over heels for her (He just doesn't make it obvious even though it is).
"Hey Kyo, don't feel sad." Fujita would say to try and make her feel better.
"Those girls don't have our respect like you do.", another would add.
"Yeah, all they use their boobs for is attracting guys. They're total sluts!"
They'd make jokes about the other girls and leave Kyoko with a belly ache after laughing for so long.
"Oh yeah. By the way, Fujita, have you picked out the school you want to go to after Junior High?" Kyoko asked.
They were in their final year of junior high and they had to pick the senior high they would like to attend. This is a turn-around point for many students. There, they could do really good or mess up really badly. And all of that determines their future as responsible members of society.
"Honestly, I was thinking of attending an all boys' school in Yokohama." Fujita admitted. "What about you?"
"To be honest, …" she said as a teacher walked in. "I have no idea."
