Chapter 2 ~ Going Home

Midori's POV

We were all currently going home. Ayu and Yui are so noisy!

"I wish we have new classmates!" Yui suddenly squeaked. I quirked an eyebrow up.

Why would she suddenly want new classmates? I thought she doesn't want any...

"What's so good about having new classmates?" Ayu curiously asked the girl.

"I don't know, because it'll make us many? I don't know what's wrong with me" Yui answered and held her head in a distressed state.

I won't bother to talk with them, I have my own world. Plus, I'm a noisy and talkative girl at heart but, I'll be quiet. For now.

"Do you think there will be School Officers?" Ayu asked.

"Probably" Yui said.

"Midori! Hey! Will you listen to us!" Ayu said in an irritated tone.

I just innocently shrugged my shoulders like it's no biggie.

"Nah, I prefer listening to songs. Than listening to both of you. Plus, I'm not in the mood. Sorry" I innocently said and smiled at them.

"Yeah, Yeah" Ayu said in a sarcastic tone and rolled her eyes.

I suddenly remembered a memory.

"Midori! Midori!" Yui shouted and I perked my head up and looked at her.

She held her knees while her long slick brown hair dangled on her shoulders.

Why is she running?

"Hey Yui? Why are you running? Lunch just started. I thought you were buying foods" I asked and quirked my eyebrow up. I always do this if I'm curious or confused.

She stood up and looked at me. Beads of sweat rolled down on her forehead like water falls. She quickly snapped out of her daze and clumsily looked for something in her school uniform pockets. She stopped looking and grabbed something, she held it out. It was her handkerchief.

She immediately wiped off the beads of sweat flowing down. After that, she stopped and looked at me dead straight in the eye.

This action sparked my curiosity and confusion more because Yui rarely does this. She always do that when she's serious or something came up.

Because of that, I now quirked both of my eyebrows up. Showing her how confused I really am and telling her that she should start explaining.

She got it and cleared her throat.

"Well, I'm just really nervous as heck. Because we have new classmates in our chemistry and biology classes. I'm really bad at those subjects! What if.. what if our teacher suddenly gave us a group project and and.. I'm grouped with those newbies and and.. they'll count me as their leader because they're new and all and and.. what if I messed up?? What if they found out I'm bad at those and blame me it was all my fault that that.. we failed the project because of me?? And and.. after that, what if they told the whole school about it and I became a laughing stock? What will I do? And and.. what if they start to bully me so bad that I want to commit suicide and and.. what if the encouragements from you guys failed? And and.. after that, you'll just see me, in the hot topic of the newspaper. I can already imagine it. "A Young Female Highschool Student committed suicide because of bad and severe bullying from her school" and and.. you guys will be depressed and and.. you all committed suicide too? And and.. we will all be not remembered. And and.. we will not live a peaceful after-life?"

She exaggeratedly said that in one breath. She caught up with her breath and I can see worry and fear in her eyes.

But she was surprised as to why I suddenly burst out laughing. Other students began to look at us but immediately went back into their businesses when they realized it was just a mere female highschool student laughing at her friend's worry, fear and exaggeration.

"Midori! Snap out of it! I'm serious!" She said then stomped her foot irritatingly, like a child would do.

I just kept laughing and laughing.

As I finished recalling that hilarious memory, a smile unconsciously tugged up on the sides of my lips, reaching the ears slightly. This made me look like a psycho.

The girls confusingly stared at me.

"Why are you smiling Midori?" Asked Ayu, who's eyebrow is immediately shot up.

"Oh nothing. Just remembered something hilarious" I said in a monotone voice. They just shrugged and nodded as a response.

I didn't even realize because of that memory that we're now in front of our street.

"Okay, I'll see you guys tomorrow then" I said and smiled then waved goodbye to them.

"Okay" They all said and did the same. We all parted our ways.

I was walking to a shortcut towards our house when I began to feel chilly.

The air is getting humid and cold. I should get home soon.

I walked faster and my eyes lit up when I saw our kinda big house in a distance, looming over me like a boss. I can't take the coldness anymore.

I ran and now found myself in front of the door. I knocked three times and waited for a few minutes, rubbing my hands on my arms in the process.

The door swung open and there stood in front of me was the loving and caring woman with her midnight hair tied back into a messy bun while wearing an apron that's splattered with questionable and confusing substances.

I immediately smiled and hugged her, Mother doing the same. I didn't care if the weird substances got in my clothes.

We let go and she gushed me to come in. I put down my backpack on the royal red couch as I bounced on the couch, the backpack bouncing along too.

She looked at me and smiled brightly again.

"So, how was your day honey?" She asked, still smiling.

I smiled again.

"Oh just the usual, fine and great. With my friends of course" I said and stood up.

"I'll be going upstairs now" I said and walked towards her and leaned towards her face and gave her a tender kiss on the cheek.

After that, she nodded and I went up the stairs.

I'm now in the long hallway and there were three doors. The middle one is Mother's bedroom. The right one is mine and the left one is my big bro's one. We all have our own bathrooms in our rooms.

I looked at the door in my left and immediately heard video game noises. I sighed and walked towards it. Without knocking, I opened it and saw him playing Gears Of War in his own Xbox.

"Sup JayJay" I teased and smiled mockingly at him, he didn't like it when I call him that. I made that up, based on his name which is Jason. Unfortunately, he didn't turned around to tease me back and smack me, instead he just continued playing.

"Not now RiRi. I'm in the middle of something" He said. If he has a nickname, of course I have one too. I didn't hate it. It was fine me being called "RiRi" but I still prefer Midori.

I sighed and just nodded. I left his room and closed the door quietly.

I went towards my own room and began to change my clothes.

After that, I went downstairs and did all my routine there. I was exhausted by all the "few" chores Mother gave me. So I quickly fell into slumber before I know it.
