This is just a fanfic I had in my computer since forever? Finally took time to upload this. Just an idea of how my favourite character Kyoko got into Apostles of the Stars
CHAPTER ONE:
The school bell rang at 3 o'clock, signaling the end of the school day. Scratch of chairs against the floor and noisy chattering contribute to the noise as the students left the classroom. Soon, there were only four students left and one of them is Kirisaki Kyoko. Today was her turn to do the assigned cleaning duties. Three of her fellow classmates began to half-heartily sweep the floor while chattering about the latest entertainment gossip. Kyoko however stood alone by the window, clapping the blackboard dusters to clear the chalk dust.
Kyoko didn't quite remember how it exactly started but it have always been this way. Her fellow classmates didn't quite allow Kyoko into their little cliché of friends. Whether if the classmates are jealous of Kyoko's straight A grades or her beautiful looks of angelic facial features with demonic figure, it was a unanimous agreement among the selfish and petty girls to launch a cold war against the unknowing Kyoko.
Once all of the cleaning duties are done, the classmates immediately left without a word. Kyoko could only sigh as she unwillingly took the black file from the teacher's desk; her final task is to return the class roster to their home teacher. At the staff room, Kyoko could only smile politely as the teacher sing praises of her good grades.
By the time she is ready to go home, the skies have already fade to the golden sheen with hints of pearly clouds. As Kyoko walk pass the school field, she could see the girl's track team busy training. Perhaps she should join an after-school activity? Nah, she just can't bring out enough energy to do so.
It feels worse when she reach her rented apartment. Her parents are on yet another overseas business trips, leaving her alone in Japan. The silence of the empty house lies over thick like an invisible suffocating blanket, obstructing Kyoko's state of mind. The loneliness and emptiness is slowly rotting her heart. Night comes and the apartment remains dark. With only the television turn on for light, Kyoko silently ate her instant noodles as she watch the MTV channel without really focusing. The light from the television set flicker onto Kyoko's pale emotional-less face.
After the merge dinner and a long bubble bath, Kyoko begun to study. Studying is only the life buoy that keeps her afloat and sane. Studying is what makes Kyoko's time pass faster. Studying fill her mind of important facts and information which will help her to get into the best universities in Japan.
... Instead of the questions 'Why'
... ... Why indeed.
That night, Kyoko fall asleep on her open math book with a single tear rolling off her cheek.
