Kayo’s POV

After school was over Lee and I were getting ready to leave the school. “Kayo, Lee wait up!” Satoru began running towards us. He started talking about his race with Hamada “Hamada was faster than I thought” Lee just said “yeah”. Satoru started to try to ask us about our birthdays. Only lee
answered. “May 2nd”. I just continued to walk off, but i was walking at a faster pace. He just caught up with me anlong with Lee. “what’s wrong?”

I turned around to face him. “Didn’t you say you were going to be honest with us?” Satoru paused for a minute “I know, but I thought hamada deserved to win more than me.” I only replied with an “oh” Satoru just appoligized. “Its fine, After all were all fakes and liars ”. After i said that both Lee and I walked away.

Lee’s POV
At the park

“Why ddin’t just tell him.”. Kayo stopped. “I don’t know, maybe because it would be embarrassing to tell him that our birthdays are on the same day, or maybe i just didn’t want him to know. I don’t really know.” we walked over to the swing set. “Kayo, maybe we should have let him help.
Even you said that maybe we might have a chance to get away from the house.” Kayo turned her head towards me “You’re right i did say that. Maybe I’ll tell him tomorrow, actually Lee can you do me a favour?” I simply nod “of course.” “Please go tell Satoru that my birthday is on March 2nd like his.”

Time skip brought to you by the end of the day

After our little talk we left the park and headed back over to our house. When we arrived Mr. Nishimura started yelling at us “YOUR ARE LATE!!!AGAIN!!!” he then proceeded to give us our daily beating. After he was done and satisfied with the damage he had delt us he threw us both into the shed.

Sitting in there was like sitting in a furnace that never burns. A small little hole for us to rot in. It kept getting colder and colder. Kayo was shivering. I pulled Kayo closer to me to give her some more warmth. Just then I heard foot steps outside of the shed. Then the doors opened revealing a worried Satoru. “Kayo!! Lee!!” he screamed out. Kayo mumbled out something almost inaudible for anyone to hear but just enough for us to hear. “Don’t look at me. . . close the door”

Satoru immediately took off his coat trying to give it to us. “What are you talking about!?! I’m getting you out of here!!” Kayo just screamed at him “Go Away!!!”. Satoru just froze up at the entrance of the shed. Kayo hugged me tighter and started to cry into my arms.

Suddenly I see Miss Hinazuki at the door way of the shed. “Whatcha’ doin’ in there Kayo and Lee? What do you keep comin’ out here all by your self for” I could see satoru knew what our situation was. Satoru’s hand began to clench digging into his skin. All i could do was watch Miss
Hinazuki push satoru out of the way holding Kayo’s and my jacket. “Come on get up, and get in the house.” as we struggled to get up Miss’s Hinazuki forcefully grabbed our bruised arms and put jackets on us. She led us back into the dreadlful house we were supposed to call home.

Satoru not being able to just keep his mouth shut for five seconds asked “Wait! How did Kayo and Lee get those bruises?” Miss Hinazuki bent down to our ears and said “go on and answer him kids” she began stroking our heads like she was acting like she was a good mom. I answered “we fell. . .” I could hear satoru gasping. Kayo Probably heard it too.

We continued to walk into the house with Miss Hinazuki. Soon after we were inside we were rushed to the sink wich was prepared with ice cold water. Our heads were dunked into the water. “Come on. Lets get some of that swelling down.” she just kept holding our heads down. “You wanna show up to class on monday with a puffy face?” She then pulled our heads out we didn’t have time to answer. “No. Cause then their going to start asking me questions” In the living room was Mr.Nishimura. “Hey! Don’t waste the god damn ice!” he yelled. Miss Hinazuki then procedded to dunk our heads back into the sink.
