The School of Hyshin

1-2 Masumi

My day was pretty average, except the aniexty taking me over. I woke up to my parents arguing about practically nothing again. I put on my uniform plus thick framed glasses and made my way to the bathroom, My blue shamrock hair was messy and went down to the middle of my back. I put half of it in a small hair binder and brushed the left side that was left down. After it was finally decent I put it into a bun. I went to the other side and repeated the steps.

I looked downstairs and didnt see my parents nearby, they were always fighting about money after the move, so I liked to avoid it. I nervously put on my shoes and snuck quiety out. 

The bus stop was only a few houses down the street. It was mostly quiet as I walked to it, with only a few bird chirps that I noticed. The bus came roaring down the street and my anxiety got worse. The doors to anxiety land opened and I went inside. I found the nearest empty seat and sat across from a boy with orange hair. I clentched my stomach in agony. I'm scared I spoke in my head. 

The boy across from my looked to me with concern, "Are you alright?" He asked completely ready to call 911. 

"I just feel a bit sick..." I felt bad for making him worry.

"I'm pretty nervous too." He admitted and I noticed his face seemed at bit red.

Maybe he's normally shy, "You look more sick than me." I joked

"I actually threw up this morning, ha" 

That explains the red face, "That's not good," I felt bad about the joke but it seemed to lift his spirit a bit. I'm starting to really like this guy, like a friend crush I guess.

The bus stopped to pick up another group of students, the boy moved closer so we sat on the same seat, I blushed at the accidental contact of our hands. 

"This is so we can continue our conversation." He smiled. 

It was ellegant and handsome, this is so much more than a friend crush. 

"Now where were we." His voice spoke with a tone of confidence.

"We were talking about school." I reminded him of the vauge subject.

"Oh yeah, my name is Abriel"

"Masumi." I answered back.

"True purity," He told me in response.

"What does that mean?"

"Well silly, its what your name means."

"Interesting"

"I better move before they come..." He seemed annoyed as the bus stopped. "I'll catch you later!" He smiled and moved seats. 

Two girls came onto the bus and fawned over him. "Abriel!" They shouted sitting next to and across from him. 

"It's been so long," "Did you get my texts and letters?" "I sent you some chocolates!" I may be exaggerating but still.

He's popular. Figures.

Gets you to notice him, gives a smile, and puts you in his harem. Just another fuckboy, like everyone in this god forsaken school.

I sat in silence listening to their conversation.

"We were at your house last night but you never answered our calls.." Tammie said grumply.

"What time was it?" Abriel asked

"1am" Mia answered for her.

I stopped listening after I noticed that the two girls were just stalkers and completely insane. But I mean no one is perfect... Except him.

"Ugh." I grunted and stared out the window, I despise myself. School was approaching but I just wanted to stay here on the bus where I was mostly safe from phisical and mental pain or destruction. But I'm going to get that either way.

I figeted with my bag as I made my way to the large doors, seemingly geting larger with every step. I wanted to leave, I wanted to cry, I can't even describe the pain I felt right then. I want to die. but I have to be strong. 

I hurridly made my way to my locker not wanting to make contact with anyone. It was going well until I turned around after my locker. BAM. I bumped into a girl a little taller than me, my books went everywhere and even I feel to the ground. I blushed embarrassed at my fall. I looked up at the girl who bumped into me, I was to frozen to react to her hand held out.

"Sorry 'bout that, I wasn't watching where I was going" The girl scratched at her brunette colored hair with one hand while the other remained stretched out to me.

Hesitantly I grabbed it and was suddenly on my feet again.

"I'm Fayna" She smiles a bit too bright, she picked up my book and handed them to me.

"Thank you." I mumble still a bit shocked. I start to walk away before my hand is grabbed once again.

"Wait!-" I turn around and face Fayna again. "-At least tell me your name." she shouts a bit paniced.

"It's Masumi." I reply as chill as I can manage

"Hey, Masumi, you look pretty alone, wanna maybe sit at lunch together?"

I lit up at the idea, "Sure!" I replied a bit too excited.

"Well I better get going-" She waved and started walking away, "-Catch you later"

I waved back and started walking again, shit. Why can't I just make it to class.

"Oops." The other girl I bumped into said.

I was still frightened from my last situation so I was even more embarrassed than before. But at least I didn't fall this time. She picked up my books easily with one hand and handed them to me. She seems really strong, I decided

"Thank you." I bow quickly and continue to my class. 

Then it happens again, I've gone the wrong way, I turn around and continue on my way passing the girl once again. 

She walks in after me and takes the seat to my right.

It was getting at bit scary, did she not know anyone else. I'm not sure.

The teacher did attendance and I listened carefully.

"Kione Skia" She said and the girl next to me raised her hand.

"Masumi Wenikolu" I raised my hand swifty not wanting to bring much attention to myself.
