A Girl's Turmoil

Chapter 15 - Daily School

Another glorious day at Nanamori school. A day when students are at their usual best behavior to attend and try their best to get their exemplary grades. While the teachers are away, preparing the materials they have on their tables to teach toward their disciples. Although not bothered by the fact that some 'small' explosions are heard from the lab in the morning, everything was smooth as ever—just another ordinary day for both students and teachers at Nanamori School.

For a certain blonde girl, she hoped for the same if it wasn't for an unfortunate event.

A few minutes before school starts, Sakurako is talking with Himawari in the hallway. They have put down their bags in their class. Both girls are standing one class away from theirs. Other female students come and go around the hallways, talking with their respective friends and even play Shiritori. Teachers aren't in sight just yet until the bell toll. Students would either be running or and jog back to their class if the bell rings.

For the two girls, it would be a simple walk back to their class.

As the conversation went on, a certain girl enters into their conversation. It's a similar particular white-haired girl. But the only difference is that her tsurime eyes are green. The girl was none other than a twin sister of Chitose. Her personality wasn't the same as her sister's.

"Ah, Chizuru-san," Himawari greeted with a smile. "Ohayou."

"Ohayou, Himawari-san," the said white girl greeted back. "Ohayou, Sakurako-san."

Sakurako nods at her. "How was your early morning, Chizuru?"

"Nice, I suppose," the white-haired girl replied in her timid and flat voice. "You?"

"Could be better," Sakurako responded, which irritated the bluenette.

"Is it about homework again?" Himawari asked with eyebrows narrowed down.

"I'm just concerned if I'll get bad grades," Sakurako responded with a shrug.

"We did the homework together yesterday, you know?" Himawari then sighed. "Do you need me to recheck it for you?"

"No need," Sakurako shook her head. "I think I'm confident enough."

"By the way," Himawari then turned at Chizuru. "Is there something up?"

"Nothing," Chizuru shook her head before bowing her head. "I just want to talk with someone."

Sakurako remains composed. "It looks like someone bothered you."

Chizuru sighs with eyes closed. "It's that darn Toshinou-whatever her name again."

"You mean Kyouko?"

"Eh? Y-yeah," the white-haired twin sister awkwardly nodded. "Just hugged me out of nowhere and... messing around with me."

"I guess that is Kyouko for you," Sakurako sighed at her expense of annoyance. "Playful as always."

"Is she?" Chizuru asked with a raised brow. "Does she also annoy you? I think you got along just fine with her."

"You could say that," Sakurako let out a quick sigh. "Ironic. I was also like that girl, except I was much dumber than her."

"What do you mean you were?" Chizuru was a bit confused about buying the statement. "Aren't you also like playing around as she did?"

"She was, but..." Himawari paused to stare at her. "I don't know. She kind of... stopped like that."

"Hm?" Sakurako stared at her childhood friend with an oblivious look.

"Heh, you did stop because of that stunt you pulled," Himawari responded.
