On Sunday I walked past the arcade and I saw her at the usual game she played, she was furiously pressing the buttons and when the screen turned colorful and 'YOU WIN!' planted on it, she smiled and put her hands to a fist.

On Monday we were back at school and I had officially broken the deal with Nakamura.

'Aw, it was fun while it lasted, Karma' She responded.

So when I was playing with my knife before class was starting, Limey pranced into the class with a smile, and this time she was humming Die for you by The Weeknd.

"Why are you so happy?" Nagisa asked her as she sat down.

"Not sure" She shrugs.

"Maybe it's because I skateboarded to school today, I dunno" She shrugged again.

"Then wheres your board?" I asked and she turned around stunned.

"Outside," She said in a boring tone.

Everyone could feel our tension. But said nothing about it.

She used to be really into skateboarding but stopped riding it shortly after because she just lost interest or something, I don't really know myself.

But during Fifth Period I skipped class. I didn't know what class it was anyway, and my grades were already top-notch so I was good.

I heard faint breathing from behind a bush so I obviously approached it. Limey's body was resting on the grass, as she looked up at the sky. She looked miserable.

"Your eyes are already burnt enough, don't make them worse," I said as I sat down beside her and covered the sun for her.

"Shut up," She said annoyed.

"What's with the bad mood?" I asked like I didn't already know.

"Because I had a bad week!" She called out as she slapped my hand out of the way and sat up. "and you practically ignoring me didn't make it any better" She said.

"...what happened?" I asked and she scoffed.

"I'll tell you what happened. First, my Wifi's really, really slow, all my shower spits out is cold water and your aware I shower every day, we ran out of detergent, and I never knew detergent was so expensive till Wednesday so I spent all my leftover money on that, and there's also a damn bird outside of my house that won't shut the hell up when I'm trying to sleep, I got a stain on my favorite sweater, I dropped my Deathnote Manga in the ice-cold bathtub, I finished all my books and-" She paused and looked away. "nevermind"

Now I felt way super bad.

I didn't know she had all of these problems when I was trying to make her jealous for my entertainment.

"tell me" I demanded and she shook her head.

"It's nothing" She muttered as she started to play with grass.

"tell me" I repeated in a more stern tone.

"It was my Mom's birthday on Saturday, and my Dad completely forgot again, so I had to visit her grave alone, and with the cherry on top, my best friend was ignoring me," She said smiling.
