February began, and as the first day came to an end it rang the bells for the first semester's exams, which will take place on Monday the 3rd, and end on friday.
I wasn't so confident about whether I'll get top scores, but I made sure to thoroughly go through each lesson for the last couple weeks. With such a brief time worth of preparation nothing could be guaranteed, but at the very least won't get a failing grade.
" I should take this more seriously", I said to myself, I was kinda surprised because I never thought that I'd be studying seriously like that before.
Well, whether it's studying or something else, it doesn't really matter, I made up my mind,
From this very moment, in my pursuit of getting better I'll give everything I got regardless of what the task is, I can't settle for less.
The first class ended, and you could hear complaints and sarcastic jokes about the exams getting louder in the classroom during break time.
" Guys, something is happening out there! " Shouted one of our classmates,
I took my earphones off, and looked out of the window. There were several students standing there in a tense atmosphere, and some girls were screaming loudly.
Apparently, those girls were fighting, fights weren't rare in school but this is the first time I saw a girls fight.
" Woah Takasaki's there too ", said the guy from our class, then he went to see what's going on followed by other classmates.
My interest was peaked when I heard that Takasaki was there, and memories from the dream I had earlier today flashed through my mind,
I got out of my seat and followed the guys who went to take a closer look,
" Who the hell do you think you are? Clinging onto Takasaki kun like that, you really are disgusting", screamed one of the girls who were fighting, as she grabbed the other girl by the collar.
Takasaki was trying to stop them but things were way too messy than one single student can handle.
" I told you that it's nothing like that, now get your freaking hands off me" said the girl who had apparently been attacked by the other one, her left cheek was bruised.
" Oi are you even listening? I asked you a question why were you with Takasaki kun",
asked the other girl,
" Stop this madness already, " shouted Takasaki in rage, grabbing the girl's hand, and glancing at her sharply.
At that moment the girl who was being bullied kicked her on the shin with force, causing the other one to get off balance, then she runned away, her hair covering her face.
I could see that there were tears falling down her bruised cheek.
Today, I, Mizuhara Naho got into a fight, or rather got bullied by a classmate.
I was walking back to class lost in thought, when I bumped into a guy and fell on the ground.
" Ouch,"
" Oh, my bad, are you hurt? " He said, giving me his hand to help me stand up.
" No, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention, " I replied.
" Glad to hear it ", he said with a smile on his face,
Blonde delicate hair, foreign facial features, an unfamiliar face, " you're the new student from class B? " I asked.
" Yes, I'm Takasaki Hikari, and you?", He said,
" Everyone's talking about you lately, my name's Mizuhara Niho from class D ", I replied.
" You're a classmate of Takeshi kun then, nice to meet you Mizuhara san"
" Same over here, see you later, and thanks " I said, then Nakamura , a classmate of mine saw us, accompanied with some of her friends,
" That's gonna turn out bad", I muttered to myself, trying to go back to the classroom.
" Hey you! Hey I'm talking to you, Mizuhara!" She screamed, as she was getting closer to me, she was too loud, and students from different classes started to watch the situation unfold, ahh, why do I have to face this?
" Who the hell do you think you are, clinging onto Takasaki kun like that? " She screamed.
I heard her earlier talking with some other classmates about the new student, apparently she has feelings ttowards him. How superficial, to love someone you've know for barely a couple days.
" It's not what you think ", I told her,
" Huh? The hell are you trying to pull off? How disgusting! "she said, then she grabbed me by the collar.
" I told you it's nothing like that, get your freaking hands off me" I said, while trying to get her hands off my shirt. Takasaki was trying to stop us but the place got crowded in the blink of an eye and he was trying to get to us.
" Oi, I asked you a question didn't I? What were you thinking, getting close to him like that?" She said, before she slapped me with all her power on my left cheek.
Takasaki finally made his way to us,
" Enough already!" He said, grabbing Nakamura's hand.
I felt like crying but I was embarrassed, annoyed and mad. I kicked her on the shin, and runned away, trying to hold my tears.
I ran as fast as I could, and when I glanced around me I saw someone's face near the entrance of class B.
He could see tears falling down my face, although it was just for a second or two, his face standed out, everyone who witnessed what just happened had some kind of expression on their face, but that guy was different, I couldn't see any expressions on his.
He glanced at me for a second, then turned his back, and went inside his class.
I kept running and eventually got out of school. Even though I left my bag in class, I kept on running until I got to a park, and sat on one of the benches there.
I wiped the tears off my face, after calmed down a bit.
The sensation of air on my skin stimulated the pain on my cheek. " Tch, that hurts",
" And what's up with that guy, he looked like he was wearing a bland mask" I said to myself as I looked at the sky.
