I wake up to the sound of crying. I run down stairs and see my mother sitting at the table with my father, both are bawling.
"Mom? Dad? What's going on?"
I look at the clock and realize there's ten minutes until schools starts. Mom never woke me up.
...
I run out of the door half dressed. Mitzuko's not waiting outside for me. I'm guessing I'm too late and she already took off. I barely make it to school as the bell rings.
"Sensei Harada! Sorry I'm late I-"
"No it's ok Koichi I know why. I'm sorry."
What does he mean he knows why?
...
I look for Mitzuko all day but I never see her. Is she sick? No she would've let me know right?
...
I'm beginning to get worried. It's probably nothing but you never know. 5 more minutes and school is over.
...
As soon as the bell rings I sprint out of the classroom and head straight to my car. One problem.
My car isn't there.
