Better Times || A Splatoon Story

Day XI Hour 8

Sayuri

After Deji was done with her class, he picked us up with his car. Deji takes front passenger seat, I take the backseat behind Deji. "I'm forced to get that stupid cousin of mine," he scowls. "Why can't Satomi just walk?" Deji asks. "My stupid dad is making me," he sighs. He starts driving to Satomi's house. I made sure I was buckled in, he's kind of a crazy driver.

We stop at this small condo house. "Sayuri, go get Satomi," Deji orders. I bet she just wants to make out with him with me not there. I sigh, getting out and knocking on his door. I look back at them, they were watching my every move. Finally Satomi twists the doorknob and opens the door. "Are you ready?" I ask quietly. "Mhmm, let's go," Satomi closes and locks the door behind him, we walked to the car and slipped in. Me and Satomi were in the back. I snuck out my notebook, starting to write a note to Marie. I know Satomi saw me writing, from him and Marie hanging out so much I bet he knows. Well, let him read it then.

We were on the way to school, we past Marie, she was walking alone.

The sun barely shown today. Walking to school felt longer than usual. Probably because it's the curse of Monday.

Finally getting to school, I dropped my stuff off at my locker. I grabbed my stuff I needed and started to walk to all the classes I missed from Friday. Surprisingly, I didn't miss much. Just math I had it the worst at. Other classes were only a few lessons I'll make up in class. I darted back to the student council room. Pearl was drawing on the white board, and Marina was talking on the phone again. I put my stuff down and walked next to Pearl. She was just drawing random things, she was pretty good. "Nice work Pearl," I patted her shoulder. She whips to me with anger, then her face changed. "Marie... you're back...?!" She blinks. "Yeah, I am," I shrug. "Papi... now is not a good time Kay? I have to go, it's school," she hangs up angrily. She whips to us with her usual bubbly personality. "Marie is back, horary!" She beams quickly. "Glad to see you too..." I side smirk. "So where were you on Friday?" Pearl questions, not even giving a glancing at me. She was too busy drawing. "Let's just say it's a long story," I sigh, I don't wanna bring up that whole attack at the hospital. "Well, telling us or not, so many people were worried about you that day. They thought you..." Pearl trailed off, getting frustrated at the white board. "Dangit!" She messed up a drawing by smudging.

"Welp, the bullying is starting to clear up, haven't really seen anybody getting harmed," Marina optimizes by changing the subject. "That's good... physical bullying rates are dropping, hopefully cyber bullying too," I murmur for them to hear. "Indeed..." Marina blinks then sighs. "Well, lets do our morning routine by patrolling, I'll start on second floor," I ordered them, my legs started to crawl up the stairs. Marina and Pearl nod their heads like bobble heads and did their patrolling. Today nobody was really on the second floor. The only ones were clubs, teachers with some students, etc. Only other people than them were students that were just walking around for energy. Falling, I crashed into somebody. That somebody when I looked up was Sayuri. She was panting like a tired dog, giving me a good glare. She started side smirking and hurried downstairs. Not long after the bell rang for class to start. Students came bursting through up and down, left to right. It made me jump a little. This school is supposedly one of the smallest. If they consider it small, I can't imagine a big school.

With Callie still gone, I had to take her place. I started patrolling for real this time, making sure nobody was sluffing. Or worse, bullying.
