The Girl In White

CHAPTER 5

So yeah I made Harumi my friend. And that's how my first month in Tokyo passed: hanging out with Harumi in secret. Since she can't come out of the shadows. We became pretty close friends. She wasn't at all what people said she was! She was funny and nice but sensitive and shy at the same time. So one day I was gonna give her a gift since she never got one in her life. But I wish I hadn't... when I was on my way to school as usual I went through the forest. But let me tell you something, what I saw wasn't pretty...as usual I found her but instead of saying anything like hi or hey or how we usually start I just stood there speechless. She was holding a knife with enough blood to fill almost one glass. And the corpse was of Toma... I didn't know how to react but I just started yelling at her,"Why?! Why would you do that Harumi?!" Without thinking I started crying. I don't know if it was cuz one of my most amazing friend just had his heart ripped out or cuz Harumi just betrayed me."Takeuchi I can explain" "Explain what exactly?! That you just killed my best friend! Is that what you want to tell?!" "Listen Take-" "No please I just don't want to know what you have to say.." I felt a huge pain in my chest as I said that to her. I really wanted to listen to her but my mind was on a totally different level. I didn't even know if I liked her anymore or if my heart still said 'Harumi'... I was just mad at my life and myself for being so stupid. I mean even idiots stay away from murderers instead of making them their friends!! As I was softly crying in front of Toma's body she slowly put her hand on my shoulder but I rudely moved her away. "Please listen to me he's not the person you think he is! He's evil!" "Oh really" I said while slowly getting up,"I think that you're not the person I thought! And you know what? We're done." I wiped away my tears and threw the gift on her face. "Takeuchi!" I heard her crying my name from the back which were then just a bunch of blurry noises in the wind. But what I didn't know was that she opened the gift and smiled as a tear rolled down her face....
