⸻ 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 14𝐓𝐇, 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐅 school. For most kids this is the most anticipated day of the year. However, it was the one day I dreaded. My friends think we have the whole summer left together, however today I had to break the news. An incident occurred at Jujutsu High, my brother's former best friend Suguru Geto attacking the school. For the longest time he was someone I looked up to, admired, someone I saw as a non-blood related relative. Megumi and I were training with the upcoming second years when the attack happened. It was a wednesday evening, Yuta Okkotsu defeated him, my brother, killing him. I was used as bait to gain my brother's attention, he didn't hurt me, but he sure did scare the shit out of me. He told me he loved me, and hoped one day I would understand his intentions and plans. He told me he was proud of me and couldn't wait to see how strong I could be.
Nonetheless, it shook up Satoru pretty bad. It put everyone on high alert. Yaga, the principal, asked my brother if Megumi and I could move in early and start training since Okkotsu was being sent off on a year long mission in another country. At first I refused, begging my brother to let me just enjoy the summer. Eventually, I gave up and realized there was nothing I could do. I knew Satoru didn't want to ruin my summer, so I didn't take it out on him. I didn't understand why we had to move in so early, especially if the other first year was going to be arriving late into the semester anyways. However, I didn't dare question the higher ups nor the principals authority.
On normal days, I got ready for school pretty quick. However, today was different. I laid in bed longer than normal, I didn't try my best to look as presentable as possible, and I skipped breakfast which I never do. I sat on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through my phone while I waited for my brother to finish getting ready. I sighed, looking through the pictures of Yuji and I, and my friends. I wish this day never had to come.
Satoru finally came down the stairs, "Ready for your last day of middle school?" He asked me, grabbing his keys from the wall.
I shrugged my shoulders, "Not really." I said quietly as I grabbed my book bag.
My brother frowned looking at me, "I'm sorry Kyoka. I wish there was something I could do to help." He sighed, "All we can do is try and make the best of it."
I nodded, "I know." I said as I got in the car. The entire car ride was silent until we arrived to the school. "I'll see you tonight." I sent a small wave and smile to my brother before getting out of the car. I walked up the stairs and through the hallways slowly and quietly until I made it to my locker.
Yuji approached from behind me, "What's wrong, Kyo?" He asked concerned.
I shook my head, "I'll be okay, don't worry about me." I said as I shut my locker, turning in the opposite direction.
Yuji grabbed a hold of my wrist, "No Kyo, what's the matter. Talk to me." He pleaded.
Our eyes made perfect eye contact, and then I looked down. "I have to start Jujutsu High early, I have to be in the dorms tomorrow evening. I don't have a choice. So we won't get to spend the summer together after all." I frowned, letting out a long sigh.
