  Sumiko Hotaru POV

  Not many people have come by my booth which isn't odd. Who wants to hang around s fox. A cunning lying fox. I rest my head on my hand gazing off at the pacing people.
  Cooking clubs, reading clubs, poetry clubs all of them have so many more people than the manga and gaming clubs. I look at the sign up sheet. About 4 people. Kira Hara. Hinata Harumi. Karin Ayame. Well 2 of those said if cooking club gets in the way they won't be able to.
  "Hey! What's up dork!"shouted a voice then threw a piece of paper at me.
  I knew exactly who that was. Kaori Nari...
  I grabbed the price of paper and threw it back at him. His face saddened a bit then he threw it back and ran off.
  What the heck is wrong with him?
  I tossed the paper in the trash bin and went back to my job as club leader.
  A boy named Ji Hun came by and signed up but only a few really were officially in. The clock hit 8:50 and it was time to go. 10 was curfew so I had to be back to my dorm and unpack before that time.
I kicked over the trash bin spilling out the trash. I headed to my dorm which was only one other person a girl named Pixie. We had already met when I put my things in earlier but we only exchanged names and numbers.
"Hey!"she waved cheerfully.
She was dressed in a cute blue skirt and blue jacket and underneath the jacket was a white shirt with lace neckline. She was really skinny and tiny but in a cute way not a skeleton way. I on the other hand was a bit thicker not fat but just thicker. I had black pants a black shirt and yellow pika chu ears on.
Her pastel pink hair was strait but had a flown sort of motion in it. Mine was blonde short and in two short pig tail not long and cute more like little stubs. It wasn't like Kira's hers is a pixie blue and black gradient pixie hair cut. Combined with her piercings it makes her look all tough.
I just look like nerd...
A big geek...
"Hey!"I said half heartedly.
She could clearly sense something was wrong. Was it my posture? My demeanor? My tone?
"Did everything go well today?"she asked a little worried.
"Everything's fine I promise,"I sighed kicking off my shoes and grabbing my clothes for a nice warm shower.
"Oh okay...,"she said her voice slowly drifting off into a whisper.
"Don't worry about me I'll be fine,"I said poking my head out faking a smile.
She smiled back a little.
Well their right I'm good at lying. I'm good at faking. I'm good at hiding...
That's just part of being a fox....
I got undressed and hopped in the shower. After my shower I got dressed into some black shorts and a PlayStation shirt. I looked in the mirror my hair was wet and clumpy. My skin was pale and red on my cheeks. I walked back to my side of the room. Pixie had passed out on her bed.
I sat in my desk and plugged in my computer. I searched to see if anybody was online but not many were. I plugged in my mic and and started playing A game.
"Hey anybody on,"I typed.
"Ya."
"Yep."
"Whats up!"
"Sweet!"I said looking at the chat names.
Nekochan201. Dust_Bunny. White_Fang. The usual it seems.
We left off about to raid a dungeon.
"Okay everybody ready we have Bunny as our healer, Neko as our shield, Fang and me as our main fighters. Got it!"
"Yes ma'am!"
"Gotcha"
"Let's do this!"
We won and me and Fang fought for last kill as usual. I won of course. I may sound a bit cocky but this is what I was good at. This is what I loved.
  "I'm gonna log off soon it's 12:37,"I said.
  "Ya Same,"Fang said.
  I logged off after saying goodbye and saving my game. I payed down on my bed and started scrolling through Instagram. Of course...
  Everybody looked perfect...

  Fang: r u feeling okay? U seemed a little off...:(
  Pika Pika: ya I'm fine just a little upset
  Fang: why? Did somebody hurt you? I swear I will kill anybody who hurts you!
  Pika Pika: no you don't have to do that! Everything's fine...
  Fang: everything's not fine! Tell me what's going on...
  Pika Pika: I didn't get a lot of people to sign up for my gaming and manga club
  Fang: well their missing out
  Pika Pika: but its because of me everybody hates me at my school I even get stuff thrown at me all time!
  Fang: where do you go to school?
  Pika Pika: you know I can't tell you that
  Fang: I know I was just hoping:(
  Pika Pika: thx for worrying but it's fine
  Fang: try to get some rest okay
  Pika Pika: ok...
  Pika pika: night
 
  I plugged up my phone and laid my head down on my pillow. I really wish I could meet him in person. Maybe we go to the same school? Maybe we were neighbors? Maybe I know him from somewhere? Just maybe....
  And that maybe is the only thing that keeps me going...
