Sinner

Chapter 72

*Fathima POV*

*Japanese*

*Flashback*

"Oh my god! Fathima, have you heard about Enesta?" Naomi Osaka asks excitedly.

Naomi Osaka is a tall fit half Haitian and Half Japanese girl. She is on the varsity girls' tennis team. She is a bubbly, smart, observant, and funny girl. She introduced me to her aunt. Her aunt taught me how to work with black hair and how to do western style makeup.

"No, why?" I asked.

"Well a little birdy told me that someone is now the star player of the varsity basketball team," Mari says.

Mari Osaka is Naomi Osaka's older sister and is pretty similar to Naomi.

"Wait for real!" I ask as I feel my heart race 100 miles per hour. A giant smile covers my face.

"Yeah, Enesta is the best player on the team," Naomi says.

"Hey, secretary! Can you come to the classroom? Akihisa-san needs help with the chocolate box fundraiser paperwork," Akinari says.

"Sure," I say, looking at my friends.

"Do you want to stand at the door to make sure nothing happens to you," Mari asks?

I nod my head and Naomi sighs.

"Sure, let's go," I tell Akinari and the girls follow behind.

I open the door to see flower petals everywhere and flowers are on every desk with an envelope on the right side.

I pick up the envelope and open it.

Shall I forget the face of the bright sunshine?

And I pick up the next envelope.

Whose beauty is comparable to an angel so divine;

And the next until I have all the envelopes and realize it's a poem. My favorite poem.

How did she know I love this poem?

"Fathima-san, Akihisa- san want me to give you this," Akinari says, handing me a letter.

I opened the letter.

I'm at where we first met.

So brief and simple.

Where we first met... wait for the...playground near our house. How did she get out of school early?

"Fathima-chan! My angel!" Ms. Ito says, smiling brightly at me.

"Sensei," I say bowing to her. " How may I assist you," I say, keeping it extremely formal.

"Your ride is ready to pick you up," Ms.Ito casually says.

"Sensei, we still have thirty minutes of school left. Are you sure I can leave," I ask?

"Of course, now go," Ms.Ito says, basically pushing me out of her room.

I quickly get my backpack and leave the classroom with Naomi and Mari follow.

"Why are you following me," I ask, looking at the two girls while crossing my arms.

"You think we will let you go off on a crazy mission without us," Mari says, raising her eyebrows.

"I feel like there is a right and wrong answer to this question," I answer.
"There is and the right answer is no," Naomi says.

"Can you even come with me," I ask?

"Probably not," Mari says.

"But we can make some calls," Naomi says.
