Today was my final day at Byakudan High School. The thought of it makes me upset, but I try to not let it show. I've always considered school to be extremely important. If I ever want to become a great doctor like father, then my grades and accomplishments have to be the best. There's also my duties as Vice President. I can't drop everything because of my emotions, not even for a day.

If I said this to others, would it come off wrong? I see it as being determined, but other people may think I'm simply trying to push these emotions away. But I'm not. I'll definitely let them out. Though, it seems as if some of my emotions are already showing. I've been ignoring father ever since the announcement for the move. It was his job that caused us to move half across the country.

At first I didn't realize I was doing it, and when I did, I didn't feel the need to stop it. Usually, I don't like taking my emotions out on others, but this time was different. I was angry. Angry and frustrated and sad. I want father to feel these powerful negative emotions that I'm feeling. I didn't want to leave everything behind. So, a few days ago, I came up with plan.

Once I moved, I would get a job and save until I can come back here. Being born into a wealthy family, I have never really had to work before, besides academically. But I wasn't going to let that fact stop me. Lots of people my age have jobs. I sigh, and put down the book I had stopped reading ages ago. I could never move away. Not yet at least. I'm still too attached to my parents.

"You look really down today, Kyoko. We're starting to get worried."

I look up from my desks. My three best friends, Emi, Tohko, and Mitsuki stand around my desk, worried expressions on their faces. "It's okay. I want to enjoy my last day here, so I'm trying to get out all the negative emotions before class begins." I explain. "Fukuroi and I can handle the vice president duties today, so no need to do extra work." Mitsuki says.

"No, I'll do it. It's my responsibility. I want to do my best until the end." I say. "I don't know why you all are acting like Kyoko's dying tomorrow or something. She's just moving. We can still text, call and visit." Tohko says, trying her best not to let her true feelings show. Out of all the girls, I've been friends with Tohko the longest. We've known each other since middle school. "I know! We should change subjects. To get our minds off of it." Emi suggests.

"Shimada is the worst." Mitsuki states. "Tell me something I don't know." Tohko says. "Yeah." I agree. "Why?" Emi asks. I've always suspected that Emi had a bit of a crush on Shimada, but I don't think it's anything past a physical attraction. "Fukuroi and I were in the student council room finishing up our work when Shimada walks in and starts asking about Kizami's weaknesses." Mitsuki begins. Shimada had proclaimed Kizami as his 'rival' because Kizami was as popular, or maybe even more so with the girls then Shimada was.

"Yuuya's weaknesses? I bet he's planning something dirty." Tohko assumes. "That's what I thought too! He made up some lame excuse, but it was an obvious lie. What happens next makes me want kick him between the legs. Fukuroi was super angry as well for some reason." Mitsuki says. "Heh, I might know why..." Tohko says with a light smirk. "What'd he do?" Emi asks.

"Knowing him, it's some rude or sexual comment." I say, narrowing my eyes a bit. I've had a encounter with Shimada as well, which has led me to despise him ever since. "After I exposed him, he started flirting with me and kissed me. It was on the cheek, but it still makes me angry. I wanted to throw a chair at him, but Fukuroi stopped me." Mitsuki says. "That guy's so gross. I don't know why anyone's attracted to him." Tohko says. "You should've thrown the chair." I say.

"But he could of gotten hurt." Emi says. "Tch. He would of been fine." Mitsuki says. "K-yo-ko~" Kensuke calls, joining our little group. "What is it?" I ask. "Want to go buy some bread after school?" Kensuke asks. "Sure. I don't have anything going on." I say. The actual moving doesn't happen until a few days from now. I'm being taken out early so I can help pack. "Aw, I was going to ask Kyoko to hang out after school." Tohko pouts. "It's fine. I can make some time tomorrow." I say.
