Shouko pov:

I click on Instagram and scroll through all the messages. Why, what happened what was going ?That's when I see a notification telling me I had been tagged in a post. I press on it and my eyes widen as it goes to Amelia yens page.

I stare wide eyes at the video .It starts from the bit where Amelia asks to be friends and me getting angry and it ends with Amelia running away .Wait a sec I calmed down it only shows me throwing the case and shouting "are you serious". I am pretty sure I said if you wanted to be friends you would have done all that .I also realize it conveniently starts at a point to make Amelia  look like the victim and cuts out parts to .

I- was set up. How could I be so stupid of course it was all a setup... she planned this from the start. 

I drop the phone as more messages come in my breath hitches in my throat as I stare at the vibrating phone on the floor. My heart quickens and head spins i run out the room and slam the door shut. I managed to do some breathing exercises to calm down and they worked. I try not to think of the future as  i pull on my school uniform. I walk out the door and take  the long way to school. This means i can pass Alexes house and tell him what's going on.

=====================

I get t the house and as I do two people emerge and I walkout. I squint against the sunlight and realize its Shojiki. Her top two buttons undone and her unusually developed chest tightened against her  school shirt. Her tie is tied into a bow and he eyes have less makeup than usual but still have some. Her purple hair is tied in pigtails that still travel down to her waist and her green eyes glint in the sun. Her skirt is a little too short and she wears white thigh highs underneath. I am pretty sure she just dress coded in more ways than one. I walk over waving .

"Omg Sho chan! Look at my new outfit its super cute! I forgot how cute the uniforms where!"She squeals clasping my hands.

I give her a small smile her cheery persona infectious. She spins around excitedly and old man walking past looking this way a little to quickly. I hurry to pushdown her skirt.

"Haha-Jiki maybe you should be a bit more careful with that skirt."I say.

"Oh okie,"she says smiling still. As Alex locks up he giggles handing over a pair of short black biker shorts to Jiki.

"eh why? "she says pouting as she look at them.

"so the creepy science teacher doesn't sneak peeks , what do you think just put them on before anymore old men come scouting. "he says exasperatly.

"eh finee,"she says walking back into the house.

"So Jikis first day back after suspension?"

"Yeah." he says sighing. "She can be a handful."

I giggle"Yeah i can tell"

Jiki runs back out a smile on her face her bag flowing behind her.

"Alright lets go Alex says taking of down the road. I hesitate and decide not to tell them about what happened .Maybe its better that way.

-------------------------------------------------------

We get to school and me and Alex have very different classes and there are hardly any that we are together in. We split ways at school Shojiki going of to her classes Alex to his. Shojiki got quite a lot of stares...

 I walk to my class hearing a sea of whispers around me and glance around to observe.

"Maniac!"

I hear someone shout in the distance along with others. I get a few deliberate shoulder bumps its uncomfortable at the very least. But I could bare it at this point almost the whole god damn schools against me.Thats when i hear a familiar voice in the school yard just a few metres away.

"You heard what I said !Put that shitty mouth down your ass you piece of shit how dumb are you how dumb are all of you to believe this? There are lots of ways to edit things nowadays!"

Sure enough as I get closer I see people hovering around the pink haired girl as she clenches a boys shirt in her hands.

"Mai that's enough. "Mariam says flatly looking at her .That's when a boy supposedly the guy Mais holdings friend comes in.

"hey let go of my pal you bi-"that's when his hand that he is waving about comes inches to Mariam's face. Its about to hit when  a crimson haired boy grabs it just before.

"Mind where you put those hands, "he says irately. I stare at the boy and realize its Kazuko Fukushima from our science class.

Mariam stares wide eyed at the boy blushing. I didn't see Mariam as the type to fall head over heels for a boy but she seemed to have. I couldn't blame her though, the boy was tall with fair skin and piercing eyes. Dark red wavy y hair framing his face and brow-yellow eyes glinting in the sunlight. He looked like a literal popstar.

"Um thank you ,"she manages to say .As she scurry's towards Mai like a baby bird to her mother.

"How dare you!" Mai literally roars running towards the boy who almost hit Mariam her hand balled into a fist.If i were that guy i would be shaking. But before anything happens the bell rings and we are all carried in separate directions as the rush of students move into school.

Finally I finished. technically I finished yesterday but I hadnt eddited so I will be doing that now in my RE class.
