The next day arrived and I was walking to school. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed me and pulled my body into a dark alley. I screamed in fear and confusion. Who randomly took me here? Once I got a better look, I was surprised to see my good friend, Kobu. She pulled me into an alley?!

"Shh! Yimika, I'll let you go in just a minute. I have to warn you about something. Just... shut your mouth for just a while." She put a finger on my lips and gestured me to be quiet. What could she warn me about? Was is serious?
"There's this disease called Hanahaki. A flower will grow inside your lungs due to one-sided love. Basically when the person you love doesn't love you back. I saw someone die from it recently. That's why you need to be carefu—"
"...Kobu, what on earth happened to your car?"
I looked out the alley to see her car covered in honey, feathers and shaving cream. What?!
"Oh, don't ask. I just tried to make my car clean with a hack I found on YouTube!"
I slapped my forehead in annoyance.
"Kobu, there's something called A CAR WASH!! You didn't need to do that!"
"W-Well.. at least its not broken..!"
Just as she said that, the car broke into pieces, "Oh... well... doesn't look that bad."
"K-KOBU!!!"
