I laid in my bed, looking up at the ceiling. I kept playing that moment again in my mind. Over again over again. It's like it wouldn't let me forget it.

'You know about the truth, but you are willing to be friends with a murderer.'

He said he was kidding, but something in his eyes told me he wasn't. That that sentence wasn't a joke. As if he felt.. embarrassed. Angry? Guilt? I couldn't tell.

It felt as if he's thought about that statement before, though.

I sighed, finally getting up, ready to go to school.

"Hey, Nene." I grinned, and she looked up at me from her thoughts. We were already done with school, and we were just waiting for everyone to leave.

"Oh, hi Kusa."

I sat down, gently taking out my homework, the classroom we were in empty. I looked out at the orange sky, the sun setting.

"You seem to be in thought. What's up?" I asked, leaning my head into my hands after looking back at her.

"Oh.. I was just thinking about Hanako.." she said openly. I nodded.

"I couldn't get him.. of my mind.. yesterday happened so fast." I whispered.

"Oh, he won't get of your mind, you say." She teased, making my face flushed.

"Not like that, and you know that." I shake my hands out, making her laugh.

"I don't know~ That blush on your face tells a different story!" She laughs, pinching my cheek. "You never used to fluster before! Now look at you!!"

I roll my eyes, flicking away Nene's hand. "Oh please. As if you can talk, Ms 'I fall in love with every boy I see'."

Nene laughed at my defensiveness, leaning back. "Hey, Aoi told me a pretty spooky story earlier. What to hear it?"

"Sure." I smile, and Nene started telling me about it.

"It's about the second of the seven wonders!" She chirped. "She called it the Misaki Stairs."

"Ooo." I grin, leaning down to listen.

"She said that the rumor goes, you should never step on the 4th stair, and if you happen to break that rule, you'll be forced into the world. The world of the dead. No one will know you're gone, and you'll be ripped into tiny pieces." She said, trying her best to sound scary. "They say if you visit the stairs at twilight you'll find the blood of the victims whose stepped on the 4th step."
