Chapter IV

"Where have you been last night?"

Silence.

Her mother just asked her and she doesn't know how to answer. Mrs. Kuso lifted a eyebrow, Hana learned this from her. Her mother became annoying when she doesn't answer.

"What do you mean?", she answered as she eats cereals while her mother cooks breakfast.

"Hana, you know that your brother is on trip with his friends and your late nights is forbidden. "

Of course, it's all about Dan. Dan did that, Dan did this. I'm sick of it.

" I have been with friend. ", she said lazily, even she wanted to say remark but she can't told her.

"Oh really? And you turned blonde too? Hana, what I say about changing things."

"Mum, I'm 17 years old. I can do what I want...",she sighed, "I'm not like Dan."

"Ok, do what you want.",she finished breakfast and put the oven on table. Then she reached for Hana's hand, Hana didn't move, she holds her. "You grow up, I get. I have been teenager too, but I want best for you. I love you as I love your brother. Ok?"

Hana nodded and turned around as Mrs. Kuso gets up, and get back to work.

"Your dad will any second come, eat before it gets cold.", and she leave for her activity.

Hana get up from her spot where she is sitting and strolls towards her room.

"Mum?", she asked and after second she heard faint 'Yes?' ,"I'll go to my friend, ok?"

"Be careful, sweetie."
