Me write a song, Ehhh??? [ON HOLD]

chapter 25

Aroe Somiko looked up at the wall she was supposed to climb to get to the other side. The wall was easily 5 times larger than her height, but she wasn't going to let her height stop her from keeping her promise. She looked around desperately for something that can haul her up to the top, but all there was were some tall trees. She looked at the trees for some time when a thought came to her.

"That's right!" she exclaimed. "I can just use the trees to get to the top!"

Somiko quickly approached the tree and made contact with the rough surface. She was glad that all she was wearing for today was simple attire with a white tee and sweats. It was a lot easier to move around in them and it was comfortable to wear.

After taking a deep breathe of confidence she started to climb up the tree. When she was about three feet off the ground she can feel her weight fighting against her and she dropped back down to the ground. She let out a huff of annoyance after the fifth time with no success. What was she doing wrong? She circled around the tree, studying it.

Being no less than eight years old, she was already considered a genius. She closed her eyes for a few minutes processing the image of the tree in her mind. She opened her eyes, smiled wryly and blew her white hair out of her eyes. "Sixth time is the charm."

Somiko went behind the tree facing towards a small hollow space and used it as a boost to help her get off the ground. She grabbed a nearby branch with both her hands and used her weight to launch herself from the edge of the opening to the branch. She then swung her figure back and forth on the branch like a monkey bar, twisted her body sideways, and when she got enough momentum, she jumped to a higher branch near her side. Somiko continued until she was at the same level as the top of the wall. She got on top of the wall easily and smiled to herself. But her smile faded when she saw how high up she was. Her eyes widened and her balance shifted resulting in her falling from the wall. She landed on the other side of the wall with a thud. Luckily, some bushes were there to help 'soften' her fall.

"Ite…" she muttered to herself, and as she stood up, a young boy came out of the back of his house to see what the commotion was all about.

"W-who's there?" he asked, approaching the bushes where he heard the strange noises.

Somiko looked up and made eye contact with the boy. "Masato-Kun!" she exclaimed coming out from the bushes.

Masato was stunned by her appearance. "Somiko-San, why are you here?"

She scoffed and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Masato-Kun, how many times do I have to say it? Call me Miko-Chan. I don't get why you have to get all formal with me. Ren-Kun calls me Miko-Chan so why can't you?"

The blunette blinked. "Fine… Miko-Chan why are you here?"

Somiko sighed in annoyance and replied, "I came here to keep my promise! Don't you remember? You always looked so lonely, and you confessed to me that your dad is way too strict. The only person you have fun with living in this residence is your butler; Sebastian, and kids you hang out with around your age is just me and Ren, and we can only do that at parties. In the end, both of us promised that I would visit you whenever your dad is away for work. It's easy to know when your dad is at work through my father. And now that I'm here to solely hang out with you, you ask why I'm here?! Hijirikawa Masato, have you got no shame?"

A few seconds passed, then Masato bowed to her deeply at a 45 degree angle apologizing. "I am truly sorry for forgetting our promise."

Somiko blushed and immediately said, "You don't have to do that! At least you remember now…"
