Hello Friendship,Goodbye Loneliness

Chapter 15

The girls are now sitting in a restaurant,one that is fancy and most second popular aside from the luxurious restaurant that Etsuki's parents owned,Miwanoko.

"Mmm,the food here is so tasty!" Sakiko quietly exclaims,after biting in the meat that she ate. "It surely is,but Miwanoko is always the best," said Seine before taking a sip of her chrysanthemum drink. Etsuki smiles as she chews a small piece of nugget. "Thanks for still supporting my family's effort and benefit. You have no idea how much we came through." They all laughs...except for Misora.

'Wow,it seems so fun to be chatting like this. But why did I feel nothing?' She thought deeply,finding herself staring into blank space again. She felt as though she wasn't there,or the five others purposely ignore her. Is she just like a doll to them?

"Oh,yeah. Misora,why don't you tell us more about yourself?" Keiru suddenly said out of the blue,snapping the girl back into reality. Misora looks around completely lost, only to find them staring at her. In concern. 'Great, now they feel bad about me.'

"Misora,are you okay? You seemed a little bit uncomfortable," Sakiko said sounding as soft and symphatethic towards the girl. Akina butt in, "If you had any problems,feel free to tell us. We won't be bothered about it." Then it was Seine's turn to talk, "Guys,she was used to being alone and this is all new to her. We must make her to be just like us. See,she is all left out."

Misora lets a stream of shock spreads across her face. 'Keiru,did you tell them?' She decided to let her voice out,since she doesn't want the atmosphere to get ruined any further.

"Umm...Well,you guys already know my name and age. Uhhh..." The others look at her eagerly. Keiru tilts her head a little,humming in concern. "...I live with my mom. My dad passed away when I was 9 so,it's only the two of us. And I'm home-schooled. Meaning,I didn't go to school. I study at home. And that's all."

Etsuki and Akina slowly claps their hands. Seine nods once. Sakiko then ask, "Do you have any other friends aside from us?" The question caught Misora off-guard,she didn't know what to answer. 'Wait. Did she just told me that I'm...'

"Well,yeah. I have two. Kase Kihiro,my neighbour and her cousin,Ichioka Saori. We're friends,yup." Etsuki and Keiru looks at each other.

"That's nice," Seine said,twirling her fingers around her braid. Misora raises an eyebrow. "What nice?"
"That you have friends,of course."
"But just having two is not enough..."

Etsuki then butts in, "You know,you're not supposed to be alone. Your appeareance,your personality,your lifestyle... It's all not suitable for loneliness." Sakiko then said, "Yeah. Your appeareance are supposed to make you look happy-go-lucky and social. You can't just cage yourself in your house all day." Keiru added, "I agree. You must start studying in school soon,Misora."

The pink-haired female turns to look at the ravennette, her green orbs getting under the control of shock. "I think you'll love going to Shiroyama Middle School. We all go there."

'What is this?' Misora thought speechless. 'I've just met her and her friends,and now they want me to go back studying in school? In Shiroyama?'
