Nari walked through the school, going straight to Keiko's locker instead of her own. Keiko had a test first period, and knowing her, she was extremely nervous. She said that she wasn't, but Nari could tell. And so she headed to her locker, so that she could test her, and hopefully help her be a little more confident.

But when she got to the lockers, Keiko seemed to have other issues.

"Write down the answers on another paper, and give them to me after class. Don't you want me to pass?" 

Nari rolled her eyes, marching up to where the girl was intimidating her friend, and she grabbed onto the girl's ponytail, pulling her back. 

"Ow! What do you think you're doing right now?" The girl, who's name Nari didn't know, screeched at her. 

Out of the corner of her eye, Nari saw a teacher. "Me?" she said, raising her voice to carry across the hallway. "You were the one trying to cheat!"

The teacher walked over. "What's going on here?" 

"Nothing," the girl said sweetly. 

"Go," Nari mouthed to Keiko. "You have class." 

Keiko hesitated for a second, but Nari shook her head, trying to tell her with her eyes that it was fine, that she should go take her test. 

She seemed to get the message. Smiling gratefully, she turned and walked into class. The teacher didn't look very convinced that everything was fine, but he had a class to teach, so he left as well. 

"I'm going to be late to class, so excuse-" Nari started to say, letting go of the girl's hair. 

The girl grabbed the bouquet of flowers from Nari's hands. "Who were you planning on giving this too? No one now," she said said, taking off through the hallways. 

Nari gaped after her for a moment, her first instinct to run after her. But she was already late to class. 

Those flowers were important to her. 

She clenched her fists, a tear tracing her cheek as she turned away, heading to class.
