It sure was weird, the popularity of Rachel and Annabelle.

Anabelle was standing by the door of her class.

It was her place always after any class.
No teacher could ever keep her seated.

Today was a different state though.

No teacher is coming to school.

She swayed her head to the music.

Some patriotic song, Sebastiano's voice, she could tell.

Today, some TV channel will come to their school.

Rachel was gonna dance as the gifted student and a group song will be sang.

Almost all of Ana's friends were singers.

It was a catholic school of course.

They were rehearsing then.

She looked at Shukanya, standing in the door of her own classroom.

She smiled, earning a smile back.

Suddenly, all the students were informed to go back to their classrooms.

The TV people are coming, gotta keep up the cool school persona.

.

Ana was standing with Freya.

She never talked about her did she?

Long story short, she was one of Ana's best friends.

She was standing looking at Rachel.

Freya, was an extremely religious girl.

Was a genius student, better than Ana.

A very soft type girl.

And 35 kg for the last 2 years.

Girl can't gain weight apparently.

"Rachel has a very full body" she commented.

Ana, looking down at herself and then Freya commented about how they were just sticks.

Ana lied about this a lot.

She learnt what being trans is some days ago (from Shukanya of course) she was almost trans.

Ever since her childhood, seeing the body of her friends grow full was her fear.

Oh my god, not her too.

She sarashi'd up her breasts that didn't exist.

Suzaku was the last straw.

She wanted to be absolutely stick.

Not skinny.

Not slim.

Just bones.

She was just bones.

Now tho, she was skinny.

Not bones anymore.

Can't anymore.

Not as long as she was in the society.

She thought, she was 14 at the moment.

Maybe 16 by the time she pass .

Maybe she'll live 75 years.

Only one fifth of her life has passed.

Maybe she'll only live with her parents two fifth of her life.

Why waste it on anorexia?

The third-fifth is there.

Maybe, being the prettiest in highschool was nothing.

She saw Hiya dashing towards her.

"Yaaaaa! Ana! Your guy is looking at Ariana in such an inappropriate manner! "

"What? How dare he?"

Ana and Hiya was having the typical Regina, Karen having a conversation about Aaron moment.

Without context, they started to bitch about Ariana, ya know, high schoolers.

She saw Shukanya walking towards her.

She shut the conversation.

She don't know why, she just didn't want Shukanya to know about him.

Hiya glared at the girl, Ana sensi g danger, quickly asked Shukanya about her previous school and ran with Hiya, saying they had something interesting to do.

They went outside Sebastiano's practice room.

Ana feeling cringe.

She ignored him the last three months.

It wasn't easy.

But there she was, again enchanted.

What about him enchanted her?

His face?

No, his face existed before.

It was a moment.

A moment.

A moment, in which, she wanted him.
She wanted everything about him.
Everything.
His entire soul.
Even his life.
It wasn't lovely.
It was obsession.

She fell for the same mediocre Suzaku and the drop dead gorgeous Dyre.

All for that "singular moment".

She noticed the look Hiya was talking about.

He looked at her, so dearly.

As if enchanted.

What was so special about her?

Sure, she had a natural metabolism.
Sure, she embraced her curly hair.
Sure, she had fair skin.
Sure, she was always good at studying.
Sure, she was everything Ana Ever wanted.
And got, artificially.

With her fake body.
With her straightened to bone hair.
With her darker than most skin.
Forcing herself to focus on school.

Shukanya liked her.

Ana remembered the first day Shukanya came to the school.

The moment she saw her, she considered her a romantic interest.

She didn't know Shukanya was not straight.
She didn't know they were so similar.
She didn't know her name.

But she felt, "the singular moment" with her.

She felt it thice before.

When she looked at them, her feet almost popped up from the ground.

She felt everything stop around them.

She heard nothing.

Only a hazy feeling.

And millions of scenes flashed before her eyes, of their future.

What could be.

"The moment" , she wonders if anyone else ever felt it.
