I walked to school with a deep feeling of peace and happiness, Osana was gone for good!
The world is a much better place without her.
My eye caught onto Osano, he seemed worried and quite sad. I wonder what was wrong.
I slowly made my way to him, he didn't seem to notice me, I felt a hint of annoyance.
"Osano, how are you?" It was a pointless question.
"Thought the news would've spread quicker," Osano said, looking and sounding grim. "My sister..."
Oh, that was why.
"She's been found dead on school grounds, it was on the news." He sounded on the edge of tears.
Something laced out inside me, how it must feel to lose someone so dear to you, one you had loved.
I know this feeling, it was pity. No, more like sympathy. It was odd, I don't regret killing Osana one bit, yet I feel bad for this man right in front of me who had to suffer the consequences.
Senpai was walking in front of us, his eyes down at his shoes. My attention snapped off of Osano instantly, Senpai! I hope I didn't hurt him too much.

Lunchtime.
I made my way to the roof, would Senpai still eat there?
Yes.
He sat on the same bench eating his bento sadly. "Hey, Baka, whatcha doing?" Osano's voice.
"Oh uh," I turned around, it was of cause, Osano, but he didn't seem as sad as he was in the morning, in fact he seemed excited and even a bit nervous, he held a rapped box in his hands. I looked like Osana's, wait it can't be could it?
"Just take it already!" He snapped.
No way, really it was for me?
"Hey don't look at me like that, just shut up and eat your bento!"
I reached out took the box slowly from him, unsure.
"You made it... for me?"
A warm and fuzzy feeling overtook my stomach.
"N-no! Baka, I made too much alright?!" He said, blushing.
Oh.
But still, why would someone like him make me lunch, I mean I've killed his sister (not that he knows). Then, I knew why.
Pity.
All out of pity.
I sat down on a bench Osano sat down next to me, sure to keep a fair distance between us.
I took of the lid.
Wow, it was the most adorable thing I've ever seen, seems like hours of preparation. Everything was just right, it was too pretty to eat.
"Hey! What are you looking at? Eat up!" Osano said, starting his own bento.
I was shocked. His bento was laid out so much more differently than mine, it was messy and out of shape. Contrast to mine, it was like it had been thrown together in a panic.
I was sure Osano had mixed up the bento boxes, but he dug in like nothing was wrong.
So I took a bite too.
It was different, the taste lingered in my mouth, every bite was like heaven.
But why? My mother could prepare something just like this, but there was no fuzzy feeling when I ate it.

I was so full, everyone else was getting up, the bell would go soon.
Osano got up too.
Just as I was about to thank him, he shoved a note into my hand. "Got to go, see you later, Baka!" He said quickly.
I unfolded the note, on it, in neat hand writing.
Was a phone number.
