Behind the Lies

It is Monday morning and the sun is shining brightly. A girl stepped outside their house with her mom on her tail.

“The sun is bright , it will be a good day for us.” The mother said, looking at the sun.

The girl turned around to face her mother. “Yes okasan, it will be.” And she smiled, looking at the sky too.

“Of course dear.  Now go, you’ll be late first day.”

Her daughter nodded. The girl walked away from her mother. After a few

steps away from her mother, she paused and turned around.

Her mother was still looking at her, smiling.

“ Sayonara, okasan!” the girl said, smiling and waving her hand to her mother.

The mother waved her hand in response.  “Make your day a good one, ok? “

“Yes okasan, I will!” the girl continued walking away.

The girl was named Michiko Hikaru. She’s on her way to her new school. She felt the excitement inside but also nervousness flows through her veins, because it is one of the famous school in Japan. Now, she was here, standing in front of its big, fully furnished silver gate.

She stepped inside and paused. The school was big at first sight. Newly furnished building, greens everywhere, big gates and walls , had big grounds and she can smell the fresh air from the big trees that welcomed her inside.

It was her first step in the corridors of her new school, Horikoshi High School, and she was fascinated and amazed.

“Am I really going to study here?” she asked herself.

“Wash it ? HA! I will not let anyone wash my clothes, especially someone like you. “

She walked happily and took glances at her sides, looking around in every corner she passed. She smiled and giggled whenever she can see beautiful things or landscapes in the school. But she’s not satisfied in just taking glances, she turns around like an idiot to see more. Suddenly, she bumped and fell to the floor.

“What the…?” a strong voice came from above.

“Oh no, I’m sorry…” Michiko said as she bowed down and knelt on the floor.

“Stand up.” the voice commanded. She obeyed.

As she stood up, the voice said furiously,

“You idiot!  Are you blind? Didn’t you see someone’s coming?! Huh?!”

“Look at what you did!” he roared.

Michiko looked up and saw that his shirt was spilled with coffee stains.

“I’m sorry! I’m really really sorry. I swear I didn’t mean it. I’ll wash your clothes-“

“Wash it? HA! I will not let anyone was my clothes, especially someone like you”

“I’m really sorry... I promise that I’ll be more careful in walking at the corridors."
