Anime Diaries

Chapter 2

Ayasaki Rin. The only girl who couldn't get along with everyone. The only girl who hits boys. The only girl who is different. The only girl who...yeah yeah....alright..

People find me weird because I don't hang out. That's because I don't like them. I am also an introvert person which means I prefer my own company. Well, I would love some company but please, not those people.

They're bad company. Almost everyone in my classroom. They're just not open minded. I'd be wasting my time if I were to be with them.

Anyways, I better be ready for something today. What action would they do to me today? No idea.

Class finally ended. So far, nothing yet. I went to the lockers but I remembered I won't be using it anymore. So I turned back but I saw something protrude from my locker. A piece of paper.

I pulled it out and it read: Smile.

It was written in a nice style of handwriting.

I have a bad feeling about this. I shouldn't open my locker. Something is inside. I know. But I'm used to it anyway. It wouldn't hurt anymore if I opened it.

When I opened it, I was not believing it. My locker was clean and there was a beautiful small vase containing a beautiful white flower. And it was fragrant. It did make me smile.

Who'd do this? It could be one of their pranks. But it felt different. Anyway, I took the flower and closed my locker.

"Neechan, it's unusual for you to smile. What happened?" asked Yuki.

"Oh, nothing." I said and held her hand tighter.

"You know what, I didn't punch anyone today." she said.

I'm still wondering who did this. Perhaps the janitor? He was really very kind and maybe he wanted to cheer me up after he heard my depressions.

"Neechan, you're not listening!"

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"Something really happened today. I can tell from the way you act." she said.

"We're near home already." I said to change the subject.

I'll check my locker again tomorrow.

There was a different flower this time. I took it and closed the locker.

This has been happening for a week already. New day, new flower. I think this could be a prank. I went to look for the janitor.

"Hi Rin."

"Hi!"

"Been good lately?"

"I hope so. Someone's been putting fresh flowers everyday in my locker. Is it you?"

"Oh my. It's not me. An admirer maybe?"

I give up. Maybe someone really is just playing with me.

The next day, I was drawing anime most of the time. Using my ballpen. I actually spend more money on ballpens and pencils. I'd run out easily.

"Hey Japanese girl!!"

A blond girl called out.

I dropped my ballpen on the desk and stopped drawing to expect something again from her.

"What is it this time, Nathalie?"

"I noticed that your locker has flowers inside."

"What about it?"

"So, someone actually eyes for you huh? I'm pretty amazed."

B*tch. I ignored her because I think I might hit her in the face. I went back to drawing.

"Ignoring me huh? Well, how about I do this?"

She took the ballpen I was using and threw it out the window.

"What's with anime anyway? You people have weird taste. Those are just for little children."

"And what do you care anyway? Will doing this to me make you prettier? Or perhaps it can make you richer?" I said, trying to hold down my anger. I think that is the best way. Showing her that I just don't give a d*mn. And maybe she will leave me alone.

She did not respond. She couldn't. I did not look at her. I just stood up from my chair, took my things with me, and left.

I checked my locker again. There was a new flower. I didn't take it this time. I closed my locker. I turned around and bumped into someone.

It was the guy last time.

"Oh, sorry." I said.

"Aren't you gonna take the flower?" he asked.
