Dear Diary, Something's Wrong

September 23rd

    Yukiko tiredly arose from her bed, her eyes barely opened and her mouth dry. The teen girl dragged herself out of her bed and walked herself down to the laundry room. She had remembered that she washed her uniform and put it in the dryer before heading to bed. Aaaa, that means my uniform's going to be all warm and soft. Yukiko lazily thought to herself, her lips curving upwards into a sleepy smile. The thought of wearing clothes that are fresh out of the dryer pleased the girl.

    As soon as Yukiko took out her uniform and slipped it on after taking her pajamas off, she headed to the bathroom and stared into the mirror. "Ah geez, I really need more sleep.." She mumbled, pulling down the skin by her left eye to examen how serious her bags were. It was hard for her to sleep some days since her paranoia would cause her to stay up late, or if she hadn't disperse all then energy she had throughout the day. Throwing her hair into a high pony tail, she started to go through her daily morning routine. She hummed a slow tune as she did everything, sometimes even spinning to her destination too! Being the first one up in the mornings sure had it perks.

   "Good morning, Michio-kun!" The green eyed male looked over to his energetic friend. "Good morning, Yukiko." He slowly replied, still processing how to be awake right now. Yukiko gave her friend a smile and grabbed ahold of his hand, swinging it back and forth as they walked to school. It became a tradition for Yukiko to grab Michio's hand since the sixth grade, when he refused to walk home because it was storming. Ever since that experience, Yukiko held his hand from and to school every morning. "So, how was your weekend?" Yukiko hummed, still swinging back and forth the pair's hands. Michio responded with a shrug before actually talking, "It was okay, just tiresome and unbearably long." The teen girl gave a curt nod. "Mine was fun! I took Katsu to the park yesterday and I met Akihiro and his two little sisters! His sisters and Katsu seemed to get along well, but I can totally see him getting with Kaede when he's older. If he remembers which one is Kaede in the first place!" Yukiko rambled, using her free hand to motion the events from yesterday.

   As the two childhood friends made their way into the school, their hand holding stopped and Yukiko gave Michio a hug goodbye before departing to their respective classes. Other students used to think they were dating each other, until Yukiko came to school in tears and ran up to Michio because her boyfriend broke up with her the day before school started. Almost everyone knew that they weren't dating, everyone but the new kid. Akihiro Nomura.

  "Are you guys dating?" Akihiro had asked the girl as she entered her homeroom. This made Yukiko startled, choking on her own spit as Akihiro looked at her with curiousity flickering in his eyes. "W-what? You think we're dating?" The black haired girl asked between her coughs. The boy simply nodded his head, "Well, I did see you guys hold hands as you walked in.... and I saw you give him a hug goodbye..". Yukiko first put her bag down by her seat before shuffling over to the curious boy. "True, but we're not dating. I simply hold his hand because he was a big baby that was scared of storms in the sixth grade and I've held it ever since. As for the hug, I always give him hugs because he absolutely hates them." Akihiro raised an eyebrow, unsure whether or not to believe the girl. "Hm.. if you say so," he started, his hand resting upon Yukiko's smaller one, "but you have to hold my hand too, okay? It's only fair."

    Yukiko's head tilted at the sudden request. It's only been a few days since Akihiro showed up at her school, and now he's requesting to hold hands with her? Before Yukiko could ask him why, Mieko let out a loud and sudden gasp as she entered the room. "Yukiko! Akihiro! Holding hands?! No way! I do not approve!" She abruptly put herself between the black haired girl and the brunette.

    "Ugh, I wasn't even the one who thought of holding hands with each other, so don't come at me with such brute force." Yukiko rolled her eyes at the love struck girl in front of her. "Lies! I know for a fact my Akihiro-kun wouldn't think of holding anyone's hand that isn't mine! Especially you and your baby hands!" Mieko spat, standing defensively close to Akihiro and grabbing his hand. "Was that supposed to be offend me or not? If so, that was a lame insult.". Akihiro looked visibly uncomfortable during the whole ordeal, and decided to speak. "Mieko-san, please let go of my hand since we're not even dating, or technically friends. As what Yuki-chan said, I did say that I wanted to hold hands with her. Please don't fight over this." His voice was soft and calming, but Mieko did seem offended by his words. Not wanting to upset her "love", the blond girl reluctantly let go of Akihiro's hand and grumpily moved to her seat, childishly pouting. Yukiko gave Akihiro a smile of relief before patting his head, "I'll think about that request okay? You basically saved my sanity just now, but we've only known each other for five days now, but I'll definitely think about it!". With that, the girl made her way to her desk on the other side of the room as the homeroom teacher made himself present in the room.

  Dear Diary,

   Today was tiring. Mieko fought me about holding hands with Akihiro (which I didn't but y'know she's crazy), but the sweet boy saved my life and told her to chill out. Bless that boy and his patience! Speaking of Akihiro, he asked me if I was dating Michio and I swear I almost died on the spot. Sure, I do couple stuff with him, but I also do that with other close friends I have! This is what also sparked Akihiro to talk about holding hands together and how it would only be fair to.

   I want money so I can just hire a actor to act like me and look like me so they can do the boring school stuff while I do the fun outside of school stuff!!!

  Gah, every class was the same. I'm tired. Sorry for the shortest diary entry this diary will ever have.

    From the teen who wants five million dollars,
       !!!Yukiko Oshiroooooooo!!!
