Magic Freak

Cha 17.) A Friend Of Mine

I came home tired as ever after being with  Kokichi for an hour or two.
I sighed headache and all.
"Hey Himiko! Who was it!?"
Tenko yelled falling off her bed.
Then a thud snapped me out of my funk.
"O-Oh.. It was.."
I mumbled.
She got back up.
"Who?"
"It was... Kokichi.."
I said louder.
"E- WUUH!?"
Tenko fell back onto the floor in shock.

"He likes- Degenerate- you like- AHH!"
Tenko covered her face.
"Nyeh.. Why are you yelling?"
I mumbled.
"Do you like him back!?"
Tenko yelled ignoring my question.
"I- I.. I don't know.."
I mumbled.
"You don't know?"
Tenko asked.
I heard her sigh.
"You probably shouldn't get advice from me, I hate those degenerates after all.."
She mumbled.

"You sure did get along with Rantaro."
I said smirking.
"Eh-He is.. He is polite.. Unlike most degenerates!"
Tenko squealed.
"Yeah yeah."
I said walking to the bathroom.

A Week Later
————————

I woke up from my bed, it's been a week since I've talked to Kokichi now, a Monday morning.
All last week we would pass by each other without speaking a word.
It was strange.
If he liked me wouldn't he come to me?
Tenko has also been going out with Rantaro a lot recently.
Somehow Kokichi actually changed my attitude on the whole new friends thing.
He's right, it's selfish to keep her all to myself. I'd only be hurting her that way or I'd just lose her.

I got up from my bed and got dressed.
I brushed my teeth and woke up Tenko.
I then walked out the door wanting to be early for the first day back.
I still hadn't opened the envelope but it stayed in the back of my mind.
I felt as if he didn't want me to read it right now, like there was some other time.
Or maybe it was just me procrastinating, too nervous to touch it.

As I was lost in thought I bumped into someone falling onto the ground.
I've really gotta stop doing that..
I looked up and-

"Yahahahaha!"
I looked up from where that laugh had come from.
"You're so cute!"
A girl with whitish greyish  hair and beautiful tan skin announced in awe.
"Nyeh? Cute..?"
I mumbled embarrassed, her blue eyes pierced through mine.

"Ah, yes, of course! Someone as tiny as you is the cutest and most adorable thing I've probably ever seen with my two eyes!"
Her accent made me somewhat calm.
I smiled at her.
"Thank you.."
I said.
"Yahaha! It is no problem!"
She exclaimed seemingly over happy.
She helped me up.
"Atua suggests that we should become the friends!"
She said clasping her hands together.

"Atua..?"
I tilted my head.
"Yes, praise be to Atua for the food we eat, the water we drink, and the shells we were put in that covers our nasty skeletons!"
She said.
So she believes in this Atua god?
"Skin?"
I asked.
"Yes, our shells!"
She insisted.
"I'm Himiko Yumeno.. If you're serious about the friend thing."
I mumbled.

"I'm Angie Yonaga!"
Angie introduced herself.
"We should head to class now."
I said with a smile.
"Ah, you are correct! I will see you friend at lunch!"
She said skipping off.
I made.. A friend.

I started walking to class and while I was I saw Miu at the lockers.
She was writing something on one of them.
I walked over curious.
"Nyeh..?"
I leaned over and saw the words
'Cum dumpster'
As well as
'Kill yourself'
She was very straight to the point.
I looked across at my locker.
When I think about it Miu hasn't messed with me all winter break.

Did she get her hands on someone new or was she just bored with me.
"Oh hey midget!"
Miu yelled into my face.
"I totally forgot you existed!"
She laughed to herself.
"Right."
I said.
"Anyways, what do you want?"
She asked annoyed.
"What gives you the right to write these things on anyone's locker?"
I asked crossing my arms.
She scoffed.
"You've got balls I'll tell you that."
She said pushing me out of her way walking to class.
"I-If you do it again, I'll curse you!"
I yelled as she walked away.
"That's right, run!"
I yelped.
