Sakura's Diary

20. Morning Notes ☀️

Dear Diary.

My mother and brother needed to go to work early today, that's why I arrived to school earlier than usual once again.

There were only a few students lingering around Akademi that I saw, Kiba wasn't one of them.

And that is why I don't have much anything to say about him since he isn't here yet.

But I do have something quite interesting to say and write.

Earlier, as I was walking to school, I had bumped into an old looking man. He had black hair, wrinkles on his face, and wore the traditional black kimono (I haven't seen much people wearing that at this time).

Before I even touched the ground, the old man had caught my wrist and prevented me from falling.

He bowed down-I assume he hasn't seen my face at that time-and he apologized to me. I told him it was ok and he didn't need to do all that for accidentally bumping me.

After a few seconds, he finally fixed himself up and raised his head, I could still see on his face that he "regretted not paying attention" and wanted to say sorry again.

But when he looked at me-saw my face, he looked...terrified.

(I think after that, he didn't continue his apologies).

I wonder why that old man was scared of me...Was it because of my pink hair or something? I look good with my natural hair color!

There's got to be another good and valid reason...

Right then and there, I saw an old woman approach us. She had black hair, had small wrinkles on her face like the old man (she still looks young though), and was carrying a machete that's sheathed.

She kissed the old man on his cheek with a hug, and I saw him gulp down, his face turning red. She had asked him what was wrong while turning his face to her's, but the man's eyes never left me.

Then, the old woman looked at me. I expected her to at least look curious since her "husband" was looking at me so awkwardly and scared.

But her facial expression never changed. She was still smiling innocently.

I must admit, the shape of her eyes and just her eyes in general were so perfect and beautiful!

They looked blank though...like there's no soul or feelings in them-like she was a dead person.

And I must admit as well, that creeped me out, they both creeped me out.

I was confused too...

And very awkward =_=

That's why I just forced a smile and continued my way to school, trying not to think much of that event. But I felt their dark, onyx eyes watching me as I walk away, making it even harder for me to forget about them.

I hope they won't cause any harm or anything like that. I'm getting a bad feeling...

I should tell my mother and brother about this as soon as I get home.

Signing off,
-Sakura.
