Forget It

Chapter 5: The Day We Move In

3 MONTHS LATER...

Ritsu's room was full of boxes. All merchandise, tools and some furniture were not visible, but instead, they were packed into the boxes. All of Ritsu's posters of bands and anime, her manga, CDs and books for the new year of Kyoto University were packed into the boxes. Small boxes and big boxes filled the small room. The sun shone down into the room.

Ritsu, who was up early for the moving, went into her room and grabbed the boxes. The big ones one by one, and carried the small ones by 4. She moved from her room all the way downstairs to drop them off on the big truck.

After she was finished, she was soaked with sweat, completely exhausted.

"Mou! Satoshi, why won't you help me?" Ritsu complained, wiping her forehead with a small towel. Satoshi stared at her, expressionless as he ate his potato chips.

"They're your boxes, and I'm not the one moving into the dorm." Said Satoshi, eating the last potato chip before walking to the nearest trash can to throw the bag away. Ritsu rolled her eyes, sighing afterwards, "Even so, you should help me! If you did, I wouldn't be so exhausted. Mom and Dad aren't home."

Satoshi stuck his tongue out, making Ritsu pout.

"Well, you never help me in anything. Remember when I was in first grade and you didn't bother to help me with my homework at all?" Satoshi asked, poker faced. Ritsu blushed lightly, remembering.

"It was too hard." Said Ritsu finally. Satoshi rolled his eyes.

"Sure."

There was a loud car horn. Ritsu turned to the truck. The driver stuck his head out of the window, "Oi! Tainaka Ritsu, is it?" Ritsu nodded.

"Well then, might as well start going to Kyoto University, then, right?" Asked the driver. "Gotta get your things there."

"Sure, go ahead. I'll be getting there by train." Said Ritsu, waving at the driver as he drove off with all her stuff.

"Let me walk you to the train station," Satoshi said. "It's not too far, and this is the last time we'll be walking with each other, anyway." Ritsu smiled at her brother's kindness. She patted his head, "Satoshi, this won't be the last time. What makes you think that? During my free time in the university, I could visit you, mom and dad. We can also go for another walk." Satoshi looked at his sister, his eyes sparkling.

"Really?" He asked. Ritsu chuckled, removing her hand from his head.

"Of course. You're my little brother, after all." Said Ritsu. They both smiled.

After the walk, Ritsu bid goodbye to Satoshi as she boarded the train. She took a seat, her feet tired from the walking. She sighed.

'I might as well get ready for hell..."

K-ON!!

"Tainaka Ritsu, Room 204, Level 3," Said the employee. "Enjoy your stay here at Kyoto University." She said as she gave Ritsu the key to her room. Ritsu thanked her as she headed to her room.

"Enjoy my stay? Erm, sure, okay. I guess I will," Ritsu said. "But I'd have to buy myself an apartment, so it's limited."

She finally reached her room, standing outside. Ritsu took a deep breath.

"I wonder who's going to be my roommate..."

She reached for the doorknob and slowly opened the door. She peeked inside.

A girl with orange brownish hair and two ponytails on both sides stood there. She was a bit short from Ritsu's view. Her back was facing Ritsu. Her face wasn't visible. She didn't seem to hear the door opening. She seemed to be just standing there.
