RECENTLY I'VE BEEN reading these articles about suspicious deaths around the city. It didn't stop there. Nor did these stories only come from Tokyo but all around Japan.
Immediately I thought of Megumi and how possibly he could be connected to them. Not saying he's the one doing it but maybe a person that knows what's going on. * * * *
Brushing my hair into a ponytail was hard this morning for some reason. The curls and thickness fought back. And usually, when she fights back I lose.
So today was a 'fuck it' kinda day. It was Friday anyway and the school wasn't all that strict despite being a school for the 'elite'. But I guess money does that to a place.
The gag is I don't know how I got accepted. When diversity quotas call, some schools to answer them. I wanted to do something that would boost my school career and the school wanted to boost its reputation. A win-win I suppose.
So today I threw water on the curls, some gel, and mousse and let the curly fro free.
Of course, I might get some curious stares but that's life. I'm gonna talk big game now so the social anxiety will be smaller later. * * * *
"Your hair looks so cute today!" Kamari played in my hair fluffing it up. "There is absolutely no reason to lie," I swatted her hands, "It's a bit messy but I'll manage."
Looking out the bus window I watch as the streets, people, and places go by. I think faintly of the accidents I keep reading about.
"So when are your and the prince going to work on the project?" She was scrolling through her phone.
When asked the question I'm struck back to reality. I literally talked to Eito yesterday about this. The battle between me and Aunt Jackie threw me off this morning. I was planning on having today be a half-assed day but now I can't.
"Today, maybe," I answered.

During class the teacher let us have the period to discuss with our partners and work on projects. Kamari was with her partner across the classroom while Eito and I were towards the back.
It is silent between us. We decided earlier to research topics and talk about them if we found anything interesting enough to be discussed.
Nothing is interesting. We don't have mutual friends and we never hung out before so the air was a bit awkward.
"Dojii." He leaned in with a whispered. His body was close to me. "Are you bored?" He smiled trying to ease tension.
