Alone in the Rooftop

Past and Present

┊ ┊ ⋆˚ By Mika

Hi, I'm Araya Mika, just a normal 15-year-old girl.
Living in this hell-like world, I had quite a few friends.

I've been abused and bullied in the past.
But I forgive them; many people say I am too kind.

A few Years Ago

My grade is on line 8 the average score
At that time, one of my subjects reached 95 on my card.

I was happy, and hopefully, my grandparents will be proud.
I show my grade to my grandparents every time it gets released.

Mika: Grandpa! Look! I got a 95 on this subject!

Grandpa: Not even line nine! You're such a disappointment!

Grandma, do you know the girl? From our neighbor's daughter? She's such a perfect child!

Grandpa: Why can't you be like them?

Mika: But... I did my best.

I always get called disappointed.
Sometimes they even use violence, every time I show up to class, I'm covered in bruises.

Taken from my grandpa, it always hurt.
But no matter how much it hurt, I still loved them.

Present time

I am now a junior high school student.
a typical student that can't even make their own family proud.

Before school starts, I always go to the rooftop.
Looking at the sky and the people

I've learned that I might not be the real daughter of my parents.
I'm not smart like them.
I'm not beautiful like them.

I had so many opposite traits from my parents.
That's when I started thinking

"Maybe I'm not their child."

thinking it over and over again.
Eventually, tears start to drop.

Suddenly, a school bell rings.
I wiped my tears as soon as I heard it and continued to go to my class.

Classroom

The class was filled with laughter and talk.
I was just there staring at the board with nothing to do.

After a few minutes, my teacher came in.

Teacher: Alright Stand up! Bow! Sit.

While I was listening to the teacher,

My seatmate taps my shoulder.
As I look, who is it?

It was Kaede.

We were pretty close friends.

I wonder why he called me.

Kaede: Math is boring, right?

Mika: True...

Kaede: so! What are you planning to buy for lunch?

Mika: Ice pop

Kaede: again?! No wonder your health is getting worse.

Mika: I like ice pops. Any problems with that?

Kaede: I said lunch, not snacks!

Mika: I can choose what I want to eat.

Kaede: True, but not for ice pop! At least eat cup noodles.

Mika: Fine, your treat.

Kaede: yea, yea

I and Kaede have been classmates since the start of elementary school.
And been friends for 5years

But I'm keeping a lot of secrets from him.
I wonder how he will react if he knows my secrets...

After a few subjects, it was finally lunchtime.

The canteen was already full of hungry students.
I just got in line and waited for my turn.

And what a surprise! I saw Kaede again.

Kaede: Oh! Hi Mika!

Mika: hello Kaede

Kaede: My treat, right?

Mika: sure

After our turn

Kaede bought cup noodles for the two of us.
While we were eating, we talked about the students.
and how hard the school was
While talking with him, it makes me smile somehow.

It makes my heart feel...

Warm?

I discovered new things and new feelings when I was with him.
I hope this won't end...
