The Darkest Black

Stress

I felt myself being pulled out of the darkness and found myself in my classroom. Everything around me was blurry but I could tell. With a sharp inhale my lungs filled back up with air and my surroundings became clear.

My first thought was to check the sky. I sharply turned my head to the left to see a window, and just outside of it the sky. Black. Wait what?

"It's always been black Kagami." The teacher told me in a monotone voice then smiled at me.

I starred at her and gave a small nod before looking back at my paper. I looked around at the classroom with out lifting my head. Everyone had blank expressions on their faces, which were buried in their tests.

I looked down at my test, still blank, with only a name written on it. Kagami. I lifted my pencil to write my last name, but as soon as I did my hand froze.

Huh? I can't remember my last name? What the hell? I know it, it's..... No. Why can't I remember? Maybe I should ask the teacher.

"Teacher." I said and raised my hand.

"Yes?"

I felt like the air got knocked out me, I couldn't speak. "N-nothing"
The teacher starred at me then nodded and looked away.

I decided to move down to the first question, my breath shaky. My hands were trembling and heart racing. Why was I so scared?

I read the first question carefully and then looked at the answers. Again I went to write but my hand froze. I don't know the answer. I moved onto the next question, reading it and the answers carefully. I didn't know the answer to that one either. I moved the the next one, I still didn't know the answer. So I moved to the next one. And the next one. And the next one.

I shuddered as my eyes widened. Why don't..... why don't I know any of this!?

"Remember if you fail this test you will not graduate." The teacher informed us.

That's right. I have to pass this test! I looked back at the first question hoping I had just mis-read it. I still didn't know the answer. I took a deep breath and looked at the 2nd question. I still didn't know the answer!

I heard the clock tick and I looked up. Everyone was gone except me and the teacher.

"Teacher! Where is everyone?"

"They already finished their tests." She explained, "what happened Kagami did you not study?"

"I- I did study." I did study. I studied really hard. I got a tutor and I worked hard to improve my grades. Even with all that.... how is it I still don't know. I worked so hard, why don't I know the answers?

Other people barely work at all yet they can do this stuff. Why dont I know? Why can't I answer the Questions? I worked so hard so why don't I know? The other kids know and they don't even try. I should know. Why don't I know?

"WHY DONT I KNOW THE ANSWERS!?" I yelled and smacked my test off my desk.

"Kagami if you don't pass this test you will fail." The teacher warned me again.

"I don't know the answ-"

"But all the other kids do so why don't you?" She asked.

"I don't know!" I yelled.

"But if you fail this test you will not graduate."

"I know that! THATS WHY I WORKED HARD AND STUDIED." I screamed.

The teacher paused and smiled, "then why don't you know the answers?" She asked.

"It's..... it's.... It's not my fault!!" I yelled my voice cracking.

"No wonder they say you are stupid." A girl said, who appeared next to the teacher, surrounded by other people.

"Yeah how dumb can someone be?" I heard someone whisper.

"I get why everyone hates her."

"Poor her, she's not even good looking."

"I know she's pretty ugly."

"Why does she even come to school anymore?"

"There's no helping someone as useless as her."

"I hear she's rude to everyone who talks to her."

"What did her parents never teach her manners?"

"I heard her parents died when she was young."

"They probably killed themselves."

"If she was my child, I would've killed myself too."

"What a piece of useless trash."

"What an Idiot."

"Disgusting. "

"Whore."

"Dumb ass."

"Piece of shit."

I still have Akito, he will.... he will always care for me...

"Sorry Kagami.. but Akito decided that he was going to move in with me."

I looked to Teachers left, and there was Akito's girlfriend. A few days ago she told me he was moving in with her. I guess he didn't feel he owed it to me to tell me in person.

"Even your beloved Childhood friend left you. You must really be an annoyance." The girl on the Right said and everyone around her laughed.

"No... no. H- he would never do that to me." I said and starred at the floor.

"Your clingy and stupid Kagami. You were so selfish, did you ever really do anything for Akito? No. Your just too naive to see what trouble you caused Akito." The girl the left explained.

"Seriously I mean you are such a useless piece of trash, I wonder how he put up with you as long as he did." The girl on the right laughed.

"You are quite an annoying student. You never did your homework and you always got bad grades. Even on the simple stuff. Why were you put into my classroom? What did I do to deserve you?"

"What a waste of a life."

"You should just kill yourself."
