It was a pretty average day at Mitakihara Middle School. The school had been recently rebuilt after an "accident" in the city. Mira, a 14-year-old girl, was waiting at the iron gate with her best friend Kiki, who was holding her lavender parasol as usual.


Mira pov:

I was twiddling my thumbs, waiting for Raya.  Raya was late again. She is often late, but maybe she got in an accident this time. She could've got hurt, perhaps even killed I thought about all the what ifs.

I looked over to my side, noticing Kiki with a smile. 

'Let me guess, you're nervous for Raya again. Thinking she got into some accident or even got herself killed," Kiki said with a comforting smile.

"Listen, I know you're known, at school, for having anxiety, but girl, you don't always have to worry. Besides, you've known both me and Raya since kindergarten. Just try to think of the positive." Kiki said with a calm smile; she was right. 

She right. This lavender-haired girl and Raya have always been my best friends. They've always comforted and helped me through the worst, but then what ifs-... 

"MIRA! You're going back into your head again," Kiki said. "Sorry about that. You know I just get stuck sometimes" Before I could say anything else, Kiki and I looked at the front of the gate, hearing shouting in the distance. A green-haired girl was riding her bike towards us...

SHE WAS HEADING STRAIGHT TOWARD US !? Oh wait, it's Raya.

"Hiya girls, sorry I'm late, but I found this cool little shortcut with stairs, and I had to take it," Raya said with a cocky smile. "You took stairs on a bike?!?" I shouted at her. Was she really that dumb? She could've got herself killed or hurt. "Mira, I'm fine."

 "I feel dandy. You should've seen the cool tricks I did when I came here," Raya smiled, trying to comfort me. I am still questioning how we became besties. We're complete opposites, but maybe it is because she has supported me my entire life.

"Raya, you can't blame her for being worried. You can be reckless," Kiki said. "Not in a bad way, but I think you need to calm down a bit" I looked at Kiki. She was also close despite being from a wealthy family; she was calm and collected.  Sometimes, she would invite Raya and me. Over for dinner at her house, 

"Hey, I'm not that reckless. I only had to go to the hospital a couple of times!" I giggled at Raya's claim.

"Well, how about we just head to class for now? "Kiki,  look at me smiling. "Besides, we have a big test today. You guys studied, right?"

'Oh, right, a test. I hate tests," I sighed. "Hey, relax. I fail my tests like 40% of the time." Raya looked at me confidently. I'm still questioning how she's passing through school. I admit that I have weird friends, but I have no regrets. 

I have these people as friends even though they're quite different from me. They supported me from day one. Before I could continue processing stuff in my head. Raya grabbed my hand as we ran through the gates.

Our teacher was talking about literature and poems again  I would try to focus, but lately I've been more concerned about the dreams I've been having but I haven't told anyone yet. 

Every time I fall asleep, I find myself in front of a mirror, and then these black figures stare at me with white eyes. They also have pigtails. I can't see much of them, but they always stare at me in the mirror. Copying me makes it seem like we are the same person.
