The Plants

Chapter 1

- Hitomi, I think you should practice more, that way you will improve. Fuyuka told me this with the intention of helping. Did it work?
- Wait... did you say train? Answering that question I will tell you that I was convinced.
- Not only with training, but also doing heroine things, like helping someone in trouble, helping old ladies cross the street, rescuing cats from trees... as long as you don't get in trouble, everything is great. Mineko added giving me ideas, I ignored all of them and only focused on one in particular "Helping someone in trouble."
- Girls... You are geniuses! I ran and got away from them to do that as soon as possible.
- Where are you going?! Fuyuka looked at me in disbelief at this.
- Hello girls! Are you coming with us to play ball? Naoki Suzuki, Ryoko Igarashi and Aoi Megumi came to go with them to play, but I ran away and they all looked at me with confusion.
- What's wrong with Hitomi this time? Naoki said holding the ball.
- No idea... it's weird. Mineko said, addressing Naoki, shrugging her shoulders.

So I started going from neighborhood to neighborhood, alone, walking to see if something interesting was happening, all the time I asked myself... "Why is the neighborhood so lonely?" or "Is there really no one in danger?" It was a horror... until I heard screams, I ran in that direction with my green backpack and left it aside when I reached my destination. There were two children, me taller than the other, the tall one was swearing and grabbing the little one's Gameboy, it was clear that this child was in trouble and had to do something.

- Catch it if you can, dwarf!
- Give it back to me, it's mine!
- Hey! You heard him, leave him alone. I said, acting brave, but I really had about 7 illnesses... that not even my mother could imagine!
- Huh? Who are you and what are you doing here? The bully said, looking at me with contempt.
- I'm the one who will give you a three-quarter beating if you don't let that child go and give him back what's his. Yes, I'm very fond of movies. I was 10 years old for God's sake!
- And if I don't, what? Will you hit me with your nails?
- No, but I will create a huge bush and you will be trapped, so much so that the firefighters and your mother will have to come and rescue you!
- Okay, do it girl!
I accepted the challenge but as I have to remember at that time the word "clumsy" was my middle name and of course I made a fool of myself, instead of brambles I created the only thing I knew how to make, a simple cherry petal that didn't even hit the bad boy, and then he started laughing.

- Hey, don't laugh! I said offended and blushing with shame.
- HAHAHAHA HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME NOT TO LAUGH IF YOU ARE PATHETIC!
That pissed me off a lot and then my hands started doing something really strange, my hands created a vine that came out of the ground and caught the boy who was bullying the shorter boy and the vine brought me the bad boy's wallet and his house keys, the The bad boy looked at me with fear and I looked at my created plants with blushing and excitement. At this moment my eyes were wider than the windows in summer.
- mmm... like I said before... Either you leave that kid alone or I... I'll steal your money and your keys and beat you up!
The bad boy nods and my soles lower him to the ground, I give him back his things and the bad boy runs away. Once he was gone I approached the short boy who was looking at the scene moved on the ground, I assumed that he needed help so I approached him and offered him my hand.
