I sat in my room, staring up at the ceiling.
"Get up Kumiko!" Yuri yelled as she walked into my room. I sat up, giving her a look. "Stop pouting and tell me why you called" she said. Yuri, my best friend, isn't super nice or polite but she's funny and honest.
I hushed her and dragged her downstairs. I clicked a few buttons on the phone and pressed it to her ear. "Listen" I commanded her. Her face went from a grin to a frown and then to a scowl as she listened.
"Wow" was all she said.

"What?" I asked again, astonished.
"I said, make a bucket list. You know, a list of things you want to so before you die." Yuri explained.
"I know what a bucket list is! Why don't we just call the-" I was interrupted by the phone ringing again. "I'll get it Okaasan" I told my mother, picked up the phone.
"Kumiko Hayashi" the voice said. My heart skipped a beat when I realized it was the same man ask before. "This should remain between us. Or else.... Well, let's say that you wouldn't want your dear Okaasan or Otousan to be... Harmed. Or how about Yuri Minami? Anyone you involve will suffer the consequences. Now... I recommend that you do as I say." The man said. Then he hung up.
"Well? What did he say?" Yuri asked. "Kumiko!" She grabbed my shoulders and shook me.
"He... He threatened to hurt Haha and Chichi... And you..." I said, shaking.
"Listen to me! You're parents and I are going to be fine" Yuri assured me.
"But-" Yuri cut me off.
"No. Don't start that. Now... Let's go make that bucket list!" Yuri said, throwing her fist above her head.
