"Haruna, why are you so gloomy?" Mami asked gently. I looked up at her and shrugged, "I just don't feel happy or anything today." I sighed. "But you're always happy though." Mami gasped. I shrugged and walked down the hallway to the cafeteria. "Something's up with Haruna, she's so depressed and miserable." Mami said as she sat down next to Assa and Fumi.
"You're such a freak, why would anyone like a girl like you?" Four 3rd year students shoved a short 1st year girl with light blue streaks and light brown hair to the ground. Her crystal clear blue eyes began to water up as she hit the ground hard. "Aye, leave her alone!" I screamed. "What she mean to you?" One snarled. "That's my little sister." I snarled back, "And if you don't hand her over I'm going to have to do something very unfriendly."
"Try me brat." One sneered and I lunged at her, punching her in the jaw and kneeing her in the stomach. She fell to the ground whimpering. "Anyone else want to try me?" I scowled and the other three released her and ran. "Alayla, what the hell are you doing here? You should be in school." I asked. "Haruna, who is this?" Mami asked.
"My little sister, Alayla this is Mami." I sighed, "Now why aren't you in school?" "Fiona and the other girls snuck out and called me a wimp if I didn't so." Alayla muttered. "You mean the others are out too?" I shouted slightly. She nodded. "Argh, come one." I scowled and grabbed her upper arm and dragged her to the table that Yoh, Assa, Fumi and Asoaka were at. "Sit." I demanded and she sat quickly.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked, tears in her crystal blue eyes. "Not mad, just upset that you would do this. You can't be here, you have such a bright future and being here around me and the others is going to ruin it. As for Fiona, I'll have to talk to Faylynn about that." I sighed.
"Who's this?" Assa asked. "My little sister, Alayla." I answered coldly. Alayla wrapped her arms around my upper arm and hung onto me. "It's so nice to meet big my sister's friends, who are you?" Alayla asked, her voice drifting through the air like, well water. "I'm Assa and this is my boyfriend Fumi." She stretched boyfriend. "I'm Asoaka." Asoaka said calmly with a friendly smile.
"I'm Yoh, Haruna's boyfriend." Yoh said, eyeing my carefully. "You never told me you had a boyfriend." Alayla gasped and pulled lightly on my arm. Everyone looked at me with wide eyes. "What?" I scowled. "You never told your own sister that you have a boyfriend?" Assa asked. "Nope." I said. "That's awful; I would want to know if Yoh got a new girlfriend." Assa said, slightly angry.
I shrugged. "Stop being like that Haru-chan, you're acting like you did when you dated Cain-kun." Alayla pouted, tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry Alayla, I'm so sorry I made you cry." I whispered the last part into her ear. She grinned and said, "Then make it up to Alayla by inviting your friends over today!" She giggled. "Fine. You all heard the lady. How about it, we can go swimming at the beach." I sighed.
They all said yes. "Alayla, remember what I told you." I said. "I know no talking to strangers, especially boys and stay covered up and be careful." Alayla said slowly. "Yep," I stated, "now go to your class." She waved goodbye and left. "What up with your rules for her, you practically control her." Assa asked. "If I could control her, she wouldn't even be here, or remember me for that matter." I sighed, my eyes dulling as my thoughts were taken back to awful memories of the past.
