It's December and literally Haru has been ranting about Christmas for the last 6 minutes. I know it's a Friday but like.. jeez.. Telling her Santa wasn't real would probably break the child inside her- Kiyoshi would probably have the guts tell her. Ugh that jerk.. I hate him. I don't why I have him as a brother I would prefer anyone else. I'm joking.. he's my brother and I have to like him. But.. he acts so distant sometimes.. I mean what's his problem? I guess he wants to keep a 'mysterious act' or whatever bullshit he thinks he's doing. Whatever.

"So I think that's what I want for Christmas what about you? Fuyuka..?" I had zoned out while Haru was ranting about presents but I don't think she'd notice.
"O-oh yeah... uhm I think I'll just wait for what I get and yeah." She slightly raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
"Uh.. yes I am you idiot." 
"Alright fine."
We were walking to school again. It gets chilly out here sometimes and Haru's no expecting to the cold. She's been having a fever recently but still going to school. Props to her for that. I wouldn't go to school if I was her.

I guess Haru was still a bright whimsical charm ready to be opened from it's box. She was so gullible. She would basically believe anything.. anyone told her. How doesn't she have trust issues..? I guess she isn't like me.. whatever. I remember when me and Haru first met. It was quite funny. It makes me giggle thinking about it.

I was at the school entrance. It was my first day. I fiddled with my hair twirling it around. What if I couldn't make any friends? What if none likes me? It's fine... Out of the blue, I caught sight of a warm-haired girl. She seemed to be taking an awful lot of time taking a drink out the vending machine. As I looked closer I realized she had her entire fist stuck in the slot. I chuckled to myself.
"Oh.. how dumb." I muttered under my breath going over to her. Maybe I can help her?
"H-hey! You! Right there could you help me please I'll.. uhh... buy you lunch for a week?"
"Oh sure just wait there." I tugged and pulled her until her hand finally came out.
"Thanks.. uhh.."
"Fuyuka." I finished the sentence for her.
"Oh.. thanks Fuyuka! I'm Haru nice to meet you!" She held out her hand to shake. I scoffed and looked to the side.
"That's so cliché Haru." I sighed.
"It's not! I'm literally just being nice!" I laughed at her. I guess I'll find out later if this is really her personality or not.
"Why are you laughing at me?!"
"H-huh?"

In the end Haru had to pay for my lunch for a week. At first I didn't think she would actually do it and just said it for nothing but after a while I decided to stick with her. She was not the most rational person but definitely the most loud, annoying (sometimes) and silly person I've ever met.

"What are you laughing about? Girl sometimes I think you're delusional.." Haru said nudging me trying to get my attention. Suddenly that scene that I was rewatching in my head turned off.
"Huh? I'm not delusional!" I say. How am I delusional? She's the girl who finds a new crush every week.. no every minute I thought to myself.
"Yes you are! You've been giggling to yourself for the last minute! Tell me what you're thinking so hard about that you zoned out 2 times?" She slightly raised an eyebrow at me waiting for my response.
"Oh, I was thinking about when we first me-" Haru suddenly cut me off.
"Are you serious? Don't lie to me. Pleaseee tell mee the truth!" She said shaking me.
"I'm serious Haru."My gaze lies on her for a few seconds before I looked out into the distance. The simple setting of our school. There was nothing special about it. All the blossoms hid away or shriveled up. Bare branches rattled in the wind. And the icy wind wasn't making this weather any better. Oh March, April when are you coming?
"Hey isn't that your brother?" She says pointing behind me at the boy waiting at the bus stop.
"Yes it is, you didn't have to point him out I can smell that toad from a mile away!" I say as I pinch my nose sarcastically.

"Pft- he doesn't seem that smelly." Haru replies taking a quick glance at him.
"Don't lie to yourself Haru." I deadpanned.
"I'm not lying!" She said her cheeks slightly flushing. I was about to have a heart attack.
"Don't tell me you like my annoying, ugly, toxic waking red flag brother?" I say. Her ears were either turning red because of the weather or embarrassment.
"I..  no..  I-i don't like him!" She said her flushed cheeks betraying her.
"Oh my dayss.." I groan.
"How? How?!" I asked genuinely confused.
"Are you feeling okay? Do you have a fever?" I said trying to check her temperature. 
"N-no I don't you idiot! I just..." She looks out in the distance before sighing. 
"I don't know.. ever since that sleepover." 
"That sleepover when we played UNO and you started going feral?" I say about to burst into laughter. I remembered that too. It was one of the most chaotic sleepovers ever. Haru had got 2 10+ cards in UNO and started going on about how this wasn't fair. 
"Y-yeah.. anyway I gotta go my aunty dropped off my annoying cousins and if don't come there in 10 seconds I'm getting in trouble. Bye!" She said as she started running off. I let her run off. She was obviously lying. It was probably an excuse so that she wouldn't tell me. I sighed, "I really have to ask Kiyoshi now." I said. I wondered when are our parents coming home for the business trip?

When I arrived home I say Kiyoshi's shoes in the wooden shoe-cupboard." At least he's home," I mumbled to myself as I put my shoes away and walked up the stairs to my room. The laced curtains lapped in the cool breeze. It was inhospitable weather. I quickly ran over to my window imprisoning the icy grasp of wind. I collapsed onto my bed, my hand rested on my forehead.  Everything that happened at school. That guy that was eavesdropping on me and Haru. The same guy I bumped into.. Aki Akihiro. He's so annoying. But that's what I say to everyone. He's (not that) bad..  I guess.... he's nice sometimes. I just hate(d) him. Ugh. What am I thinking? I just don't believe he's this popular now. He's only joined the school recently. It's been a week now. 

My door suddenly opens. It's Kiyoshi. "Fuyuka get up." 
"What? Why?" I questioned as I sat up right on my bed. 
"Mum and dad are coming." He says. I wonder where they went for their business trip? I guess I'll have to ask later. 
"Oh okay, did mum text you?" I asked looking at the phone in his hand. 
"Yeah." He says as he closes the door and walks away. He only uses 20 words max per day. At least that's what I perceived.
