Her Secret

Chapter Three

Princess was awakened by the same thing; sun rays peeking from her window. It was a brand new day—or so she thought. It was the first day of school. She was just sat on her bed, expecting the same next thing.

Knocks which soon turned to a banging on her room's door caught her attention, fully awaking her system as her core flare-up. She stood up on her feet to walk over the door. Just as she was about to open it, the noise stopped making her furrow her eyebrows. But she opened the door anyway—

"RISE AND SHIIIIINE—oh. You're up." The cheerful Mahori greeted as always. De ja vu. It was the same scene from yesterday but this time she gave an almost empty smile, not wanting to remind her of what was the real deal. She wanted peace now, ironically.

"Hmm..." The blunette narrowed her eyes at Princess, as if examining her. "You're still sleepy, aren't you? Welp, GO TAKE A BATH TO WAKE YAR SYSTEM!" Little did she know, her megaphonic voice was enough to wake her system but she obeyed anyway. That's what she's supposed to be.

Mahori Ahaira, still the girl next door, was a highschooler like Princess, she's been friends with her for five years already. After the summer break, they were now coming back to school; a new fresh start for them. Atleast, that's what she thinks.

The blunette's phone suddenly rang making her snap back to reality. She took it from her pocket and instantly accepted the call with a wide smile after reading the caller's name.

"HIYA ION! Took you long enough to hear from me. I'm in Princess' room now, she's still alive so have no worries!" The blunette joked, feeling happy.

"Shiz, loud as always eh? I'm on my way there to fetch you guys. Don't forget to bring the polaroid." Martle Ion Lee, one of her and Princess' childhood friend gently said. Known for gentleness he was, nothing hardly changed.

"Roger!" And she giggled.

"I'm hanging-up. Almost there, bye."

"Bye~" The call was ended right after she said that. A smile plastered on her lips as she was sat on soft mattress, warmth taking over her inside and butterflies in her stomach. She always loved his voice, his words, his everything. He was not just a friend for her, he was her dear.

"What are you smiling at?", Princess broke the sweet silence when she got out of the bathroom and raised an eyebrow at Mahori.

Mahori on the other hand was, of course, startled. Her phone almost fell from her grip but she was able to take a good snatch of it. "N-N-Nothing! Nothing at a-all! Hehe." Her statement full of stutters signified how embarassed she was of her own action.  "Ya! Ion is on his way, hurry up and get changed! I'm sure he has foods with him for our breakfast." She tried changing the topic.

Aware of her new character, Princess just went with the flow but pulled Mahori up before pushing her out of her room, shutting the door at her. "I will so stay out!" She nonchantly yelled but was reminded of something. "Luv you!" She hardly cringed of herself.

"Kekeke enjoying your new company big sis?" The imp from yesterday showed-up, making her turn to it. It was sat on her bed and creepily smiling from ear to ear.

A slight smirk curved on her lips, amused that she has been followed. She knew it has been since the time she took what it has given her; the unfortunate souls in the jar. "Humans are amusing, aren't they?" She remarked and went over her closet, picking out her set of uniform to put on.

"And pathetic." The imp added while pointing up its index finger, gesturing correction.

She was unable to respond for she was putting on her long-sleeve and coat, then next her skirt. She even tied her hair up, for a change.
