3. class 3C

overthinking ruins the surprise factor,
as scary as it is though,
doing things on the whim foil after

Today is the first day of Juno's last year of junior high, she's not amused at the fact she'll be returning to school, but she does like hanging out with her best friend Daiya.

"Wake up!" Juno yelled, banging on Ayumu's door.

Ayumu groaned loudly, "I seriously don't want to go."

"If you don't go, you won't see Daiya!" Juno sang teasingly.

Ayumu grumbled, "Fine, I'll get up."

"DIBS ON THE BATHROOM!" Juno screamed out.

"FUCK YOURSELF!" Ayumu said, as he slid across the shiny floor, reaching the bathroom door as it locked with Juno inside.

Juno proceeded to wash and scrub her face, she would brush her teeth after eating breakfast.

After a few minutes, Juno dried her face and left the bathroom. After she exited the bathroom, a slam was heard and Ayumu's taunting was echoed.

Juno rolled her eyes and pulled out cookies from the pantry, she sat down on the counter and gently opened the package. She pulled a cookie out, she examined the package. For her breakfast, she had 2 cookies only.

Juno walked back to her room and stood in front of her closet, she had 1 hour and 45 minutes left.

Juno had 3 uniform options -

1. her white polo shirt, layered with a tan vest with a small white line around the v-neck, with a brownish gray skirt that was just above her knees, paired with knee high socks and her school slippers painted pink, meaning she was a female

Juno had always thought the slippers were stupid, why categorize students in two places because of their gender, what if someone didn't identify themself with either gender?

2. the same white polo shirt that was mandatory for all, a loose brown sweater, the same brownish skirt, with the same socks and slippers

Sweaters were mandatory for school, not only to identify the students ages, but it was also because the school is so fucking cold, according to Juno. 1st year students wear blue sweaters, 2nd years use black sweaters and 3rd years use brown sweaters.

3. a black dress with pink detailing right above the knees, a loose dark brown sweater, the same socks and slippers

Juno decided to go for her first option, either way she would end wearing the same damn thing all year.

The white polo shirt was pulled onto Juno's body, the shirt was neat and clean, she pulled on her skirt, flattening the pleats with her own hands. Her slippers laid under a pile of other shoes, she pulled out her knee high socks, placing them on her feet and pulling the piece of white cloth to her knees, slipping her shoes on.

Juno had already prepared her schoolbag, it was a simple black bag with black straps where your hand was supposed to hold it, or when you would swing it on your shoulder.

Her schoolbag contained 6 notebooks, 2 were black, 2 were white and the last 2 were brown, each were for a different subject. Juno packed a small black sketchbook, her father had gifted it to her for the winter holidays. A small pouch containing pencils and different colored pens, a purse containing hygiene products sat on the outside pocket of her bag.

She walked up to her mirror, she looked at herself, she grabbed her flimsy eyelash curler, she always worried that it would break soon, but she never found time to buy one. She curled her eyelashes, her lashes were pretty long, except they weren't naturally curled, like Ayumu's.
