" aiichiro, wake up you need to get ready for school today," her aunt gently shakes her side as the girl slowly opens her eyes. she walks straight to the bathroom.

wearing her blue uniform after fixing her skirt because it keeps slipping off, she fixed her hair into a ponytail. debating to whether wear her glasses or just the contacts, she decided to go with the glasses since contacts will be a little too hasty to bring along.

she walks out of her room with her school bag in hand. smelling the butter toast, she sat down and place the bag beside the table leg. "do you want me to fetch you after school?" hatsuki asked, a little concern in her voice.

"no need, kaka, though thank you for the offer. im already a third year in middle school, i think i know my way from home to school and school to home," she assures to her aunt with a smile. the woman nods lightly and drinks her warm coffee.

minutes passes by as it was time that she should get out of the house to walk to school. "i'll get going, bye bye," she bid for the day. hearing her aunt saying it back, she closes the main door softly. and down the stairs she goes. to her surprise, her phone buzzed and she instantly finds for it in her bag. once found, she opens it and saw nana's text.

hurry up and meet me at the school gates. hurry, im so lonely :(

aiichiro only chuckles, asking why would someone go to school that early. she tries her best taking big steps to reach there quickly. until she sees students with the same uniform, she rushed her way to the gate. once she see her friend standing there looking like a lost pup, she walks towards her as quickly as possible.

"finally aiichiro, you came," nana happily swings her bag back and forth as the sight of her friend makes her feel calm. "you make it sound like I wouldn't be going to school today," the other girl gives a crooked smile as she tries finding for their other friend.

"yashiro is already inside," its as if nana knows what she was thinking. they walk by the gates and into the school building. walking up the stairs was quiet except for the sounds of panting from the many stairs they have to climb up on. standing at the side near the staircase, they took a while to catch their breath.

"ah ha, there you guys are. making me wait in the damn quiet classroom like it wasn't,"

"sorry yashiro-"

"its that guy again, look, the one with the blonde pompadour," a girl student exclaims quite too loudly as more third years look at their classroom window or just head downstairs. the three also did the same as it caught the attentions of alot.

nana got way to curious as she squints her eyes like she has camera lenses to zoom in and have good quality of. "oh," is the only word she lets out until she laughed. "pompadour, of course," the other two raise a brow, confused to why nana finds it funny.

"pompadour hair is so stupid, all gelled up so nicely until some people comes over to ruin it and yall get mad because of the amount of gel you used up for just one pompadour," she makes fun of it and continues laughing. the others in class all looks at her like as if she was crazy. "ooo he's walking into the school, look at his men walking behind him like he is some celebrity or what not," she continues.

lunch finally happened as aiichiro quickly gets out of her chair and grabs her wallet. about to run off to the cafeteria store, yashiro grabs her wrist. "wait up, nana is finding for her wallet... again,"

"there! lets go!" the trio runs down the hallways and stairs, and into the cafeteria until they see a big crowd surrounding the bread store and soon disperse, revealing the store all out of that day's menu. "no, my beloved sandwich," aiichiro, who can cry over her favourite sandwich being sold out in about seconds, spoke. the other two girls stroke her back as they calm her from such a tragic scenario.

no choice but to buy other food, the girl still sobs over it. although this was not her first time experiencing such terrible moments, she couldn't help but wanting a good sandwich to eat in the middle of the day.

"lets grab a drink before we head up-" nana stops what she was about to say as she looks at aiichiro with wide eyes, as well yashiro. the girl spills her soup onto another student, who didn't do anything but stand there, his eyes piercing into her's as she sense the anger building up inside him. his glasses makes his vision not to clear as splats of the soup was all over it. "i am so sorry, please let me walk you to the school clinic and get you a clean uniform," she apologies but only receives a cold hit on her shoulder as he walks pass her.

pissed as fuck because she tried to apologise, she turns around and opens her mouth that was about to say something at the guy. nevermind, she thought as she remembers about his eyes staring at her like that a few minutes ago. her friends about to get her a new bowl, she told them not to as she wasn't that hungry. so they walk up the their class.

somehow he seems familiar, her memory reminds her about the guy that also gave her such a terrifying stare from yesterday who she bumped onto while trying to grab for her wallet.

"can't have a peaceful fucking first day of school after having to keep thinking about the fact that i was held back," he complains as he removes the hairtie, his hair flows down softly. after splashing his face with the tap water, he pats his hairline with the water to wash off the chicken soup liquid and also the smell of it.

he takes of the jacket and undo his tie, putting them at the sink beside him. as he unbuttoned his polo shirt and takes it off, his eyebrows furrowed more at the sight of the big stain. "mom took so much effort into washing this shirt," placing all the dirty clothing at the side, he changes into the clean ones which he grabs from the school clinic.

"and what the hell do you want? staring like that," he madly spills the anger in him at the student who was just about to have a normal duty moment but only to come into the washroom to see another student change. "well? get the hell out of here," and he did. "tch, weirdos in this school only knowing how to stare at shit,"

after many effort of making himself look neat again, he checks his hair at the mirror infront of him to see if any of its strands is left out. all good and well, he walks out and straight into his classroom.

"even when she's wearing those damn glasses, she never see whats infront of her,"
