Chapter 5 - Ordinary Day?

Chapter 5 – Ordinary day

I woke up when someone was pushing me left and right. It was Yukio. I looked at the clock and it was already 7:30am. I stood up, fixed my bed and went out of the room. Uncle was cooking breakfast.

“Eat first before changing.” He said.

I nodded. The breakfast was bacon, egg, and toasted bread. I sat on the chair and started eating. Uncle then started to read the newspaper and there was an article that gave me interest.

TOP ILLEGAL SMUGGLERS, KILLED ON THE FIRE AT THE FISAMUD MANSION. ASSASSINATED OR COINCIDENCE?”

Uncle looked what I was reading.

“So this was your doing.”

I just shrugged my shoulders. After eating, I took a shower and wore my uniform in the cabinet because it is a spare whenever I sleep over.

Dark blue long sleeve on top and black necktie partnered up with black skirt which is just above the knee. I use black stockings and black shoes. This is my daily uniform. I braided my hair – left and right – and wore big glasses – glasses with the ability of changing blue eyes to brown – that will look “out of fashion”. I am termed as a “geek” and a “sickly person” in school. It would be better not to be a friend for anyone, it’s better this way.

I took my bag and got out of my room. My uncle saw my appearance and reacted.

“Not that get up again?! Why did you braid your hair?! Even that unfashionable glasses that changes the color of your eyes! No one can see the beautiful face of my daughter! Huhuhu…” he said covering his face with his two hands and acting like a sobbing child.

“Get used to it. Besides, I’m only like this when I go to school. Have forgotten?” I said emotionlessly.

“Oh yeah.” He put his hands on his back and smiled innocently like nothing happened.

“Have fun in school.” He waved at me as I went out of the house. Yukio barked and also waved at me with his right paw. I walked toward Silent Academy, the school that I attend to.

Hibiki’s POV

“So early.” I said as I was yawning. I was thinking of attending classes since I don’t have anything to do.

‘I still need to look for her.’ I thought while remembering the sleeping beauty on the the tree. I just smiled and started to whistle as I continue to walk to the school.

I slid the door from left to right and entered the classroom. Everyone was greeting me their good mornings while going to my seat. They don’t bother me questions why I am not attending class because I always reason out, “I love skipping” and teachers just let me be.

As soon as I sat on my chair, I had my attention on my left seat that is occupied by someone. ‘This is unsual.’ I thought. It was a braided hair girl with big glasses which I find it unique. She was facing towards the window and looking at the white paper though there was nothing in it. It only lasted 10 seconds and folded the paper to half and put it inside her drawer. She looked at the window again and realized she was thinking something. ‘I wonder what it is.’
