Day 1
Waking up in a cozy room is always a dream come true. Who wouldn't want that kind of atmosphere right?
But then I could only wake up in my dreams with that kind of room. Waking up inside my room is killing me.
How cold it felt. The black-colored walls eat my morning every day. I sigh as I sit up from my bed, looking around the almost lifeless room on Earth.
It's never been my dream to wake up like this, its modern design is killing me.
Yeah, quite dramatic but hey! It's a personal opinion.
I stand up from my bed and walk towards the window, looking at the sun rising in the sky makes me smile a little.
At least, I always feel warm upon seeing the sun rising.
I looked down and saw that the house in front of us, was still closed. Looking at the clock, I saw that it was already 6 in the morning. I need to go and prepare myself.
What could this month offer for me now? Walking towards the bathroom to get myself ready.
As I prepare myself, I'd like to introduce myself to you. My name is Patima Takahashi, a typical- you could say- rich girl but not a brat.
I'm not spoiled like how the others are. Maybe my father is spoiling me but I am afraid of him.
His attitude isn't the one I like really. But enough talking about him.
The house in front of ours is from my friend, his name is Mark Jacob Watanabe or more known as MJ but because of some circumstances, we aren't able to contact each other.
I've been looking at their house early in the morning, hoping to see her outside and maybe talk to her.
I missed him as much as I wanted to talk to him. Don't get me wrong ok? I am just worried about him. Like every other best friend would, who wouldn't be able to get worried about your friend?
"Young Miss, the breakfast is ready" a knock interrupted me from my thoughts that I didn't know I was already in my closet.
"Yes, I'm coming," I said and picked my outfit for today, good old jeans and shirt? I think I've already worn it like last week.
Today is Monday, which means we are free to we're anything we want. The students can pick any clothes they want- except every Wednesday.
The uniform in school is pretty and all but the school just wanted it to always show on Wednesday.
As I picked out my clothes- long sleeves, with a coat over, and pants for spring- I opened the door of my bedroom, welcomed with a black wall, of course.
I look at the right side and walk down the stairs, a good thing I picked the room near the stairs because these stairs are enormous.
As I walked down the stairs, I could hear the laughter from my parents in the dining area.
As soon as I took the last step, I looked to my left and saw that Mom and Dad were talking about something.
My feet start to walk towards the dining area, opposite my mother's chair and on the right side of my father.
"Good morning, Mom" I greeted and kissed her cheeks before hugging her.
I walked towards my father's chair and hugged him, greeting him a 'good morning' before I finally came to my designated chair.
Dad nodded his head and led us to eat, which I started with basic rice and hotdog.
We aren't able to talk about something when we are in the dining area. We need to talk about the family but not other than that.
Dad is a good father... And husband. He knows when or where we needed him and he knows when or where he needs to come here. He's not that bad but yeah, I was never close to him.
The dining table was quiet, no one made a sound even my Mom who always initiated the talk every morning.
I didn't like it as always, because the questions will always be the same. What did I do in school? Did I sleep well? Who am I with? And such.
Dad always wants to know who I am with. Even if he's a good father- which I always didn't see- he wants to know if I was always in good hands.
The thing is, he has known MJ since we were still kids but he never really liked the guy. I don't know his reason and I never want to know it.
My father is a judgemental person, in one glance he can already state his judgment... Which are all wrong. He's this narcissistic person, who only cares for his opinion and himself.
“Hey, Patima!” I snapped out of my thoughts when I looked up and saw Natalie’s face.
Natalie Stoll is in 3rd year of college. She is the oldest among us but acts like the youngest- which is my position.
I met her through Dylan, her boyfriend, and I met Dylan because Autumn is friends with him. Autumn is our school president, she was assigned to tour me and be with me for a while… Which leads to us being friends.
I didn’t even know that I'd have a friend as soon as I stepped foot inside the University. It’s a little bit sudden because I never really have that many friends.
Today, we are in the middle of the second semester. That could only mean the exams are near but we are just chilling. I mean, we all have brains but I am quite lacking when it comes to certain subjects.
I opened the car door and said my gratitude to our driver before running in Natalie’s direction. She quickly greeted me with a hug and a kiss on my cheeks, making me display a disgusted face and wipe my cheeks.
“Nat, stop giving Patima your disgusting lips, it won’t help at all” I avoided Natalie’s lips and saw Aiko, looking at us weirdly.
Natalie stuck her tongue out as she flung her arms on mine.
“Why would I? I missed my youngest” Natalie said before she dragged me, which resulted in Aiko following us behind.
“When Patima’s still not here, you’re fond of me, I don’t even know what’s happening to you,” Aiko said as Natalie glared at her.
“It’s because you’re cute, you grew up like a wild cat now,” Natalie said that made Aiko smile at her sarcastically.
It’s always been like this, they would bicker like siblings and such but they still love each other. Not that I am saying they are in a relationship.
“Hey!” We stopped and looked at the back and saw Dylan, running in our direction with his bag in hand.
Natalie rolled her eyes before removing her grip on my arms and walking towards the cafeteria, where I concluded that they fought.
Dylan frowned at what Natalie did but still approached Aiko and I’s direction.
“You didn’t have any morning class?” He asks, still looking at where Natalie disappeared, making Aiko sigh and nod her head.
“I didn’t receive anything from Mr. Suzuki,” I said and shrugged my shoulders, stepping forward to the cafeteria.
The two walk beside me as they start to open up a topic.
“Pat, you know MJ right?” I look at Dylan and nod my head. MJ is a well-known person here because he was called the nerd in the school, topping everyone which he gained few people to hate him.
“I heard he likes Yua” well, I’m not surprised at all. Yua is one of the popular girls in the school. I ranked second in terms of popularity and she is the first.
“Not surprising at all, everyone likes Yua,” Aiko said.
Day 1 Koyama Yua is everyone's dream girl. She has brunette hair, tiger-like eyes, a button nose, and fluffy cheeks. She's intelligent, gorgeous, sexy, and cute. And everyone really likes her here because she is kind. I'm not saying I'm terrible but she's approachable. She always has a smile on her face while I don't. I'm not a very friendly person... And the reason is that I am shy. I'm shy around new people and wasn't able to go talk to them. "Hey, what are you thinking?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked in front, seeing Autumn with a smile while she took the seat in front of me. We are currently in the cafeteria. Dylan is beside
Day 1 "You agreed!?" I nod my head as Natalie and Sky both look at me with surprised expressions. Even, I couldn't believe myself agreeing with what MJ just told me earlier. Here I am now, in the cafeteria with Natalie and Sky because the three of us have the same schedule when it comes to lunch. Though, I am a little late because their lunch starts 10 minutes earlier than mine. Dylan still has class, same with Aiko, but Autumn is busy with the school papers. Yep, she's preparing the school papers which I don't understand at all. Shouldn't that be the school principal's doing?
Day 2 Patima walks out of their classroom with a smile on her face. Lunch already reaches them like Flash which causes the students to cheer loudly. "Pat!" She looks at her back and saw Aiko. The small girl places her hands on Patima's arm then pats it. "Hey, Ai, what's up?" Patima asks as she places her arms around Aiko's shoulder. "Nothing, let's go to the cafeteria, they are waiting," she said. The two of them walk inside the cafeteria then look at the loudest table. They saw their friends at the long table, throwing some food at each other. "HIYAH! MY YOGURT SMOOTHIE!" Sky yelled as her smoothie got thrown at Natalie. The bunny-liked girl hiss as she throws the cup on Dylan, who throws her the smoothie. "I know I like you but this is too much!" She said then glare at the guy. Dylan didn't mind her as he stuck out his tongue. Autumn sighs th
Day 3 "Aww... Isn't this romantic?" Natalie said as she wiped her fake tears. Autumn and Aiko look at each other as they sigh. "It is romantic but Patima doesn't even like roses," Aiko said then raise the roses that are on the table. "Hey, guys!" The three looks up then saw Sky with a big smile on her face. She sat down beside Autumn then look at the table. "Ohhh... Roses, who gave this?" She picked it up then look at the three in curiosity. Autumn sigh then looks around. "Daisuke, he wanted to surprise Patima with flowers," she said, pointing at Daisuke and his friends' table. Sky put down the roses then nod her head in understanding. "It's romantic but Patima doesn't like roses, she prefers daisies to roses" Sky stated. Aiko look at her then nodded her head. "Yeah, that Daisuke guy never really kno
Day 3 "Maybe Patima just cleared things between them, you know, Daisuke has been bothering her since the very first day," Sky said then shrugged her shoulders. "Huh? As if, I saw them both hugging earlier before the bell rang" Brittany, one of the new students in the school, and Sky got a chance to meet her. Sky was assigned to tour Brittany when she was new in the school. They became friends eventually and right now, she's going to introduce her to the others. Brittany knew about MJ and Patima since Sky told her about the two... And since it is the headline of their school's official website, 'A popular girl hooked up with her poor friend'... Yep, that is the title. They are current
Day 4 A new day appeared. 26 days before the month ended. Today is Thursday a casual wearing for students. Patima woke up with a smile as she walks towards her bathroom. She undresses then step inside the shower. As she finishes her business inside, she walks out of the bathroom then walks inside her walk-in closet. "Hmm... How about jeans and a shirt? Nah, too boring. Ohh... What about a crop top and skirt? Meh, typical. Ahh... A turtle neck, coat, and jeans, that'll be nice" Patima grab the clothes then proceed to wear them. She proceeds to walk down the stairs and into the kitchen to grab an apple. "Patima, you're not going to eat breakfast?" The said girl look at her back and saw her mother, looking at her with a warm smile. Patima shrugged her shoulder then walk towards her mother. "I can'
Day 4 The break came pretty quickly, catching everyone's attention that causes a smile on their faces. Patima walks out of her Biology class with a tired face. That subject is out of her mind as she doesn't want to touch a frog, opening its body just to see its lung. She's pretty sure that every college school isn't like this. In their first year of college, they still need to pass their failed subject: Biology and Chemistry. Yeah, she sucks at Science. Clearly, Science is the antagonist of her life... Aside from her father who seems to not worry about his family. She sighs then stretches then sigh again as she heard a sound, coming from her bone. "Patima!" The mentioned girl look at her back and quickly smile as soon as she saw Daisuke. The guy smiles widely then jogs in her direction. "Hey, Daisuke, what's the matter?" She asks him. Daisuke l
Day 5 Another day, making MJ's time for Patima lessened. Their first Friday as a couple, it's probably Patima's problem. Patima woke up at the wrong side of the bed, feeling groggy and unmotivated. She couldn't sleep last night because of one thing, eye contact with MJ. Yes, making eye contact with someone seems normal but something is different when she did that with MJ. She couldn't pinpoint the problem- oh, she could but she doesn't know what to call it. "Ugh!" Patima groans as she sits up then furrows her eyebrows. "I didn't even sleep well!" She whined then grumpily threw her blanket at the side of the bed. She then stands up then walks to her bathr
Day 15 Patima walks out of her room. Looking around the area and furrowed her eyebrows upon not seeing anybody. "Feels like MJ’s still not here" she mumbles to herself and walks to her locker to put down her books. Upon arriving, Patima taps the locker keypad and opens it, looking inside in confusion. She put her books above the locker and grabbed the envelope and the box that is inside her locker. 'Who could have put it in?' She put the box inside her bag, reminding herself that she's going to open it later and grab the envelope. Patima ex
Day 15"It wasn't because it opened by accident, I think he was slain," the doctor said as he cut the thread as soon as he finished tying it.Ms. Watanabe furrowed her eyebrows."What do you mean?" She asks as the doctor looks at her and smiles."I think someone attacked him, if it'll open even if the wounds are completely sealed, a little part of it would have a chance to bleed" the doctor said."Really? I think there are some circumstances where I saw MJ’s wounds open a little but I fixed it" Ms. Watanabe stated.The doctor looked at her surprised at what he just heard."You fixed it? A few doctors
Day 15 "W-What's happening to him!?" Daisuke asked as he tried to touch MJ’s back. Amber approached him and held his hand, shaking her head not wanting Daisuke to touch MJ’s back. "Don't touch it, I don't know what happened but his back is supposed to heal since it's been a few years but it didn't?" Amber said and tore MJ’s uniform open. Daisuke looks away upon seeing MJ’s back, which is currently producing blood coming from his scar. Ivan hissed and looked away from MJ’s back as he tried to think what caused this. "That's from the tortures, right?" Daisuke asked which Amber nodded at.
Day 15"What happened yesterday?" Aiko sat down on the chair, in front of Aimi.Aimi shrugged her shoulders as she put her elbow above the table."Nothing special happened, we just went to the roller skate arena then went to the mall, to buy things" Aimi told her."That's all? Quite boring" Aiko said as she leaned her back on the chair."Yeah, I know right, we're not even complete because Dylan wasn’t there... And you and Sky" Aimi said to her.Aiko furrowed her eyebrows at what Aimi just said."What do you mean Dylan wasn't there? He told us that
Day 14"Is it my fault?" MJ asks as he points at himself while arguing with Natalie and Autumn.The two are scolding MJ for not being careful enough to make Patima fall.But Amber and Ming defended MJ because they saw Patima’s feet were in the wrong direction."Natalie, Patima’s feet are located at the wrong places so why are you scolding MJ about it?" Amber asks her.Natalie looks at her and nods her head."You've been telling that to me but I clearly saw what happened, MJ patted Patima’s hand and wasn't able to balance himself" Natalie argued back.
Day 14 "Ayoo! Sorry I'm late" Amber ran to their direction as she held her bag tightly, making sure it wouldn't fall off. Natalie, Patima, Autumn, and now Dylan look at her in confusion. "And why are you late? Can you check the others? We've been here for ages" Natalie asked and said that flustered Amber. "Can you do it one by one? I was late because I have to meet someone, I'll check them and the time said that we'll meet at around 9" Amber said. She glanced at her watch and saw that the clock ticks at 9:06. "We already changed the time, I said we should meet at around 8:30 to do more things" Autumn said to her.
Day 14 Another day passed by, Patima woke up from her slumber with a sigh escaping her lips. "Patima, what the hell is happening to you?" She questions herself, as she looks at the white ceiling of her room. She spaced out a little, thinking about something that she only knows, and snapped her head on the bedside table when her phone rang. She grabs her phone and widens her eyes upon seeing the time. "Yah! You're already late!" Natalie’s voice greeted Patima’s ears, making the latter scrunch her face and put her phone away from her ear. "I know, I overslept, I'm sorry," Patima said, getting out of her bed.
Day 13 "Hey! Pass the ball to me!" Dylan yelled as he raised his hands above, trying to get the ball from MJ. They all finished riding the bike 30 minutes ago and now MJ and Dylan decided to join a group of people playing basketball. MJ raises his hands and passes Dylan the ball, to which the older guy responds with a run to their hoop. He jumps and dunks the ball, which his team celebrates with a cheer as they approach Dylan and lift him. “Jacob! We did it!” Dylan yelled as he looked around to find MJ, on the ground laying while breathing heavily. MJ looks in his direction and smiles, giving him a thumbs-up as he doesn’t
Day 13 "Uhmm... What's happening?" All of them looked at the entrance of the living room and saw Amber with the others. They all shrugged their shoulders as Amber eyed MJ, who's looking down on his feet. "You all came here together? I didn't know that you all are close" Natalie said as she crossed her arm across her chest and eyed the newcomers. Amber shakes her head and waves her hand. "Ahh... No, we just happen to bump into each other when we’re at the entrance” Amber said as Patima nodded her head. “Yeah, don’t make it sound like we’re just here to hang out with Bea because she’s friends with Amber… Or Ming,” Patima sai
