Hysteria

Chapter 1 : Chiyo Suzuki

Chiyo quickly grabbed a home made breakfast, before grabbing her shoes that were laid by the front door. "Bye mom!" She yelled to her mom who was in the kitchen making breakfast for herself, "Have fun, and remember to turn in your math homework that we slaved over last night!" She yelled back before Chiyo left to go to her school.

The school was small, which made sense for rural Washington, with the small family owned stores and acres of land, as well as winter homes for richer families. The school was very small, only a few students were even in high school, which was rather refreshing for Chiyo. "Chiyo, what are you doing? Getting lost in your thoughts again?" Chiyo's best friend and confidant, Irene Green, always there and always finding something to tease the girl with.

When the two first met, it was about Chiyo's hair, how it was white, but it was true Chiyo did have white-blonde hair, which to a lot of people didn't make sense as her parents both had dark brown hair. But, if Chiyo had learned anything in science, it was that it was probably a recessive trait, and she was lucky to get it. Although her mother always said that it was a 'curse', Chiyo was quite skeptical about it.

"Hey, earth to Chiyo." Irene said, her face stuffed with the Little Debbie Honey Buns "You can't stay stuck in your thoughts forever, one day it's gonna get boring." she said, grabbing her phone before grumbling "No reception?" Chiyo asked, "Finally you answer me, for a minute I thought I was talking to a statue." She said before nodding. "Well, I highly doubt I'll ever get bored of my thoughts." Chiyo said, walking through the doors of the school. "Well I think one day you'll think too hard, and your brain will explode." Irene said nonchalantly. "Eh...well, I don't think my brain will explode anytime soon." Chiyo said while walking through the door of her first period class, setting her bag down as she took her spot next to Irene.

. . .

School was long, as per usual for Chiyo. Irene was glued to her phone before she gasped holding her phone up to Chiyo "I got another follower on TikTok!" she said excitedly, "Is it 'cause of that random anime edit you made, cause you simp for Levi from Attack on Titan." Chiyo said. Irene had made Chiyo watch the anime saying that Levi, Eren, Mikasa, and Erwin were so 'hot', but Chiyo thought they were pretty average, and that Levi was more of a Fidget Spinner. That Eren was just wrong in trying to smoosh the whole world. Mikasa probably never washed that scarf. And Erwin, well he died.

But Chiyo had said that and her best friend's face turned red. "Don't deny it, you're a simp." Chiyo said laughing. "I can deny it, and I will deny it for as long as I can." Irene said, pouting. Chiyo opened the door to a small shop, looking around for the snack aisle. Once she found it she grabbed a bag of cheddar cheese Combos, she paid, placing her cash on the counter. "Ooh, can I have some." Irene said, holding her hand out, with puppy eyes. Chiyo held the bag in her direction, letting the girl grab some.

"You know these are pretty bomb." Irene said, stuffing her mouth, "Well I bought them for a reason." Chiyo said before she was interrupted by the loud voice behind her "Hey car freak!" The voice could only belong to one person, Anthony Thatcher.
