Estuko entered her first year at Hyakkaou Private Academy with her two best friends, Tsuzura and Rei. She was hoping to fly under the radar and only gamble when absolutely necessary. Especially after her two best friends became house pets- part of t...

I DIDN'T WANT TO GO to school the next day but unfortunately, I had to. My parents were forcing me even though yesterday my best friend, who I've known and been best friends with for years, tried to kill herself. I was angry at them for it but as per my mom "the world keeps spinning" and therefore I have to go to school. Tough love she calls it.
The moment I step out of Rich's car Mikura is in front of me. A blank look on her face and says "Sachiko's been waiting for you. The fact that you didn't show up yesterday was extremely disrespectful and if you keep it up it will not be tolerated. This is your first and final warning." in her very stupid robotic voice.
"Yeah? How about you eat me. I'm really not in the mood for this shit right now." I say, rolling my eyes. I didn't want to deal with Sachiko or Mikura today. If I'm being honest, I didn't want to deal with anyone. I try to walk away from her but as I pass her she grabs my arm tightly before dragging me down the hallway. "What the hell Mikura? Get off me right now!"
She doesn't and simply just tightens her grip.
Wow, this girl is strong.
"I'm taking you to see Sachiko. She's been waiting to meet with you." Before I know it we're standing in front of Sachiko's office and I'm really not in the mood for this. Mikura knocks on the door before opening it when she hears "Come in."
Sachiko is perched on her desk when we walk in. She flips her long white hair off of her shoulder as she jumps off the desk.
"Mikura you are dismissed," she says. Mikura looks like she's about to say something but the red-eyed girl just holds up one of her fingers to silence her before waving her off. Mikura sends me a glare as she walks out the door. Her head hangs low as she closes it behind her and disappears from view. "Now now, my dear, where have you been?"
"That's not really any of your business now is it?"
"My my my you're very sassy today. What's with the attitude?"
"What's with my attitude? Why I don't know. Maybe it's because one of my best friends tried to kill herself yesterday and another one is nowhere to be found. Wait, no, she's probably with Mary because that's who she spends all her time with nowadays." I rush out. Not breathing in between sentences. Sachiko walks to me in the middle of the room. Standing in front of me she towers over me, she lifts her hand and brushes the tears from my cheeks. Tear's I didn't even know were falling.
"I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do? If so please let me know." There's nothing but compassion in her eyes.
"I don't think there is anything anyone can do," I say and she pulls me into her arms, kissing me on the forehead before playing with my hair.
"Here. How about we sit down on the couch." she grabs my hand and urges me towards the plush couches in the center of the room. I sit down next to her but she doesn't allow me to be there long. She picks me up and places me on her lap before cradling my head on her shoulder. She just allows me to cry there. Something that I hadn't really allowed myself to do in a long while.
"There there," she says before she starts humming a song that I don't recognize.
With the combination of her humming and playing with my hair, I fall asleep. I sleep harder than I have for months which is really saying something. Especially because I'm currently sitting on someone who I'd consider my enemy's lap.
But at that moment I felt safe and protected. Like there was nothing in this world that could harm me. It made me forget about yesterday and gave me peace.
Why do you make me feel the way you do Sachiko?
