Chapter 4 - chapter 4: Relieve

'Yes, finally I can get out of this cell' she thought to herself excitedly.

"Wonderful, there entrance exam is on the 25th, which is two weeks from now, so I want you to study hard for the exam's so that you can get a scholarship to get in" Mrs. Yui said with a smile on her face.

"SCHOLARSHIP!!!, I thought you would pay the institution fee for me to get in normally, why do I have to go through scholarship" Kira asked shocked.

*sigh* "Uh-um...well I didn't want to tell you this before but...AM BROKE!" Mrs. Yui said nervously, suddenly there was a silent in the room as Kira stirs at her grandmother confused.

"Good one grandma, you almost had me worried, I actually thought I just heard you say we were broke" Kira responded with a perky smile.

"Weeelllll, I actually did dear" Mrs. Yui said nervously. Suddenly there was another silence in the room.

"Uhh...your b...b..boo... BROKE!!!, WHAT! what do you mean BROKE! DO YOU MEAN WE ARE POORRRR...!!!!!.

"Yes We… I mean, I'm poor now." she said in a bitter tone.

"What I meant to say is I was rob, rob of my land's, my houses, my businesses, everything is gone" she added as she starts to break in tears.

"I don't know what to do now, am stranded.... and am hopeless..., the only thing I have in my name is this house, I don't even know if I can maintain the staff and everyone in it, I will have to sell the house, and everything in it" she included.

"I'll have to start over from the scratch" Mrs. Yui said Overwhelmed with fear, she falls to the ground and continued weeping.

'WE'RE BROKE! WE'RE POOR! HOW DID THIS HAPPENED'. Kira thought in shock.

'No wonder she was always silent and quiet, looking worried and pale anytime I ask if everything is okay, not knowing what was happening and what she was going through and here I thought it was my attitude that night that turned her off towards me and made her ignore me, not knowing it was something else, something horrible' Kira thought as she started to break into tears.

*crying*

'How are we going to survive this, starting from the scratch, with no money, that's impossible!!! I....I... don't know what to do. I have to help her however I can, but how?' Then she thought of a way she could help 'what if I go to this prestigious school and graduated in honor's, I'm sure I can get a very good job to take care of us both in the future, yes that's the only thing I can do right now' Kira thought as she tries to gather a little bit of hope and courage in the situation, she finds herself in.

"I will do it, I'll go to OSHIMO HIGH SCHOOL, and I'll get in through scholarship, don't you worry grandmother, I'll study hard and make their entrance exam you'll see, I won't disappoint you" she said while trying to consul her grandmother.

For the past two weeks, I was indoors throughout, studying, no classes for me to attend, grandma put everything on hold so I can study hard for the entrance exam, I was always locked indoors, the maids will bring in my food and anything else I needed into my room, I wasn't allowed to go anywhere. Grandmother always made me focused on my goal, anytime I got distracted, socializing was not even an option for me, so I study my butt off and when the entrance exam scores finally came in, I was able to get a scholarship into the wealthiest and most intergraded school of all time, "OSHIMO HIGH ACADEMY" one of the best schools in Japan, I was so excited and grandma too, but I could tell deep down she was still worried.Probably knowing that getting her life back on track wasn't going to be easy, also moving to ghoul in Tokyo, wasn't going to be easy either, talking about the expenses, getting a new accommodations, starting a new business over there, everything was overwhelmed for her, I knew it was going to be much for her to handle especially now she's in her old age, but I know grandma, she will find a way to make it work and I was going to help her out how ever I can.

So few months passed and we finally got to Japan, rented a new apartment not too far from the school, we moved in and got settled really quick, I got ready for my first day in high school, I was excited and worried at the same time, wondering if my social outcast life will get the best of me in this new school am about to enroll into, but I wasn't going to let that weigh me down, I'm going to give it my all, and make tones of friends, starting from Monday, a new life begins for me.
