You're on your own kid

Last night you fell into a food coma and slept soundly after ages. You woke up at 7:40 only 20 minutes to get to school. Your mother had a morning meeting to attend so she left without waking you up and your younger brother couldn't care less to wake you up. You didn't have the time to shower, so you sprayed on a ton of body mist instead, put on some concealer, and used a multi-stick balm as blush and lippie to make you look clean and fresh. You'd usually do a ponytail but today you kept your hair down. Surprisingly, you were looking better than usual today.

You ran to the bus stop and got on the first bus available. You got off the bus at point 8:00 but you still had to climb to the 3rd floor. You ran like your life depended on it. You've never been late to school and didn't want to break your record and stand in the hallway. You ran past a girl on the 2nd floor that you didn't recognize, she was walking as if she were strolling in a garden. This made you anxious and you ran even faster. You reached your classroom before the teacher somehow. Panting and gasping like a dog you walked up to your seat.

"how on earth are you late?", asked Chiyo and started laughing at your miserable state. "hahaha jeez you look like dog shit", she laughed.

You didn't say a word more like you couldn't cause you were so out of breath. Akashi who sits in front of you turned and gave you his tumbler.

"Are you alright, y/n", he asked in a concerned tone. You nodded and drank from his tumbler. "Slowly, don't choke yourself", he smiled.

Chiyo was dumbfounded seeing the two of you not bickering anymore. "Did I miss something? When did you both start talking like civil people again?"

"Hey, we were always civil", Akashi stated.

"Yeah what he said", you finally replied.

"Weren't the two of you fighting for a whole month?", Chiyo was now seriously doubting her memory.

"What? we were so not", you argued.

"Yeah, I am not sure what you are talking about", Akashi played along.

"Y/n is rubbing off on you, you're talking just like her now", Chiyo hissed to Akashi.

Akashi let out an awkward laugh and turned away from the two of you. Your teacher walked in with the girl you passed by on the stairs. She wasn't a new student. Her parents had to move to Tokyo for business so she left school before mid-term last year. She wasn't in your section so you were unaware of her. Her parents returned to Kyoto so she could start school here again. She went to the same middle school as Akashi and Quinn. The three of them have known each other for a long time now. She knows more about Akashi and Quinn than you. You met Quinn last year and Akashi just one month ago. Her name is Hitomi Sasaki. She just might be the prettiest girl in school. She had long wavy brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. Her skin looked like it was glowing from within. She sat in front of the class which made you think she's probably intelligent too. She made you feel small without even looking in your way. The compliments that you received yesterday felt phoney. Her voice was also as smooth as nectar. You couldn't help but compare yourself with her. You were already invisible and now you feel like a dusty book that no one reads, shoved at the back of the shelf just like you were sitting at the back of the class.

During lunch, Quinn introduced Chiyo and you to Hitomi. She seemed like a pleasant person. She sat gracefully too.

"So Y/N, how did you meet Quinn and Chiyo if you lived in Tokyo up untill last year?", Hitomi asked.

"I actually went to middle school with Chiyo in Tokyo, but then she left school and moved back to Kyoto in our last year of middle school.", you replied.

"Yep, my family and I had to go to Tokyo because my grandfather was being treated there. Then we moved back when his treatment was complete", Chiyo explained.
