Hey guys! No message today! I wanna get right into the story!

~Quote of this Story~ "No matter what, you will win this fight. Scars may coat you, but it doesn't change your pride."

"Yomi! Wake up!"

Emerald optics open tiredly.

"Mato's waiting!"

Yomi gasps. "Oh crap!" She shoots to her feet, rushing to her drawer. She gets dressed, slid her sandals on, and rushed out the door. Surely enough, the girl was standing right

there. On her doorstep. "Sorry!" Yomi adjusts her shoes. Mato beams. "It's okay! I just got here."

She smiles back. The two walk to school. "I'm meaning to show you someone that you may like!" Yomi's smile fades. They soon arrived. Suddenly, a girl with brunette hair

rushed out. "Mato! Matoo!"

How...does she know...Mato...?

"Oh! Yuu! Yomi! This is the girl that I wanted you to meet!" Mato beams, trying to brighten Yomi up. But, Yomi just looks at Yuu glumly. "Hello."

Mato's beam fades as she felt a sting of sadness fill her.

"Hello! Names Yuu! Yours?"

Yomi feels uncomfy. "Takanashi." She looks away, watching as her volleyball coach jogs over.

Yomi nods at her and says her farewells before following her coach slowly. Her eyes were gloomy as she walked without looking back. Mato watches Yomi walk off.

"I wonder what's bothering her..." Mato chokes.

At gym, squeaking of shoes and mild chatter was only heard. Yomi looks glumly over to the basketball side. She saw Mato giggling with Yuu. She grips the volleyball.

"Yomi! Pay attention!" She shakes her head at her coaches voice. Mato looks up, watching as Yomi blinks at the floor before tossing the ball to someone else. Mato whimpers before going into the game.

After school, Yomi walked to the bench where she sees Mato. Mato sits there with her new friend, chatting the day away. Gloomy looks were shared from Yomi as they soon noticed her. "Oh, Yomi!"

Yomi listens to the two as she walks silently. She glances at the calm waters. I wish I was like water. Where you can flow calmly but silently. Harsh and loud. You can express your fee-

"YOMI!" Mato worriedly looks at Yomi. Yomi grits her teeth. Mato whimpers. "Sorry." She says glumly, watching Yuu walk away. She feels Mato take her hand. She felt like ripping it away, but knew it would hurt her feelings.

"Yomi...what's up with you? Ever since I-"

"Train."

"Hu-"

"Train." Yomi walks away before Mato continued. Mato chokes. On the train, Yomi gripped one pipe from the train, while Mato sat. Mato stared at Yomi.

Sorry it's short. 2:00 in the morning and I'm exhausted. I'll give you guys more tomorrow.
