Chapter 2- Apology

Knock Knock

Same day (Monday), 11:03 a.m., bedroom

I heard the knocking.

For some odd reason, I heard the knocking yet I wasn't paying attention. I was in my own world. The door opened slightly.

"Lain, what are you doing in bed so late?" Kasai was talking as he entering the room.

I did not answer him.

"You missed breakfast." He said sitting on the side of the bed.

Again, I did not reply.

"Are you sick?" he reached out with his hand and was about to check my forehead to see if I had a fever.

I stopped him.

Before he could do anything, my hand caught his wrist and a few seconds later, I let go.

"I'm in bed because I have nothing better to do. I was not hungry for breakfast, and no, I'm pretty sure I'm not sick." I blunted out at him.

"I think you need to be nicer to the people around here. I talked to one of the girls and she told me what happened. I think you owe Yoko and Shuroi an apology." To me it sounded like he talked forever.

"Will that make you shut up and stop barging into my room?" I asked as I waled to the door.

"If it's what you want, then yes." H said, smiling, and getting up.

I opened the door for him and motioned him to leave. I closed the door behind him and changed out of my pyjamas. I decided to visit someone, Yoko and her little friend, Shuroi.

Same day, 11:36 a.m., hallway

I walked around and finally found their room. I could hear people talking inside the room so I knocked. It was Yoko.

"Come in." She said opening the door. I walked in and noticed how bright it was. I turned my back to the window to try and avoid the light.

"I'm sorry for what happened earlier." I said quietly.

There were mirrors all over the room. Again, yuck!

"It's alright" She said. Shuroi was sitting on the bed and there was a guy sitting beside her. I also noticed the dog-eared creep and standing against the wall.

"You can stay with us here if you want." Shuroi said in a very jumpy voice.

"No, thanks, it's too bright in here," I said heading towards the door. The dog-earred creep was in my way. I couldn't help but stare.

"What are you looking at?" he asked.

"Nothin'" I said and left.

Same Day, 1:07 p.m., the park

I sat under the slide in the sand. I liked it there because it was nice and shady. I looked up and all around examining everything I could. I than began to fill my sketchbook with little doodles. I stopped when I heard someone coming. I turned around and saw Yoko. She was walking towards me, than came and sat in front of me.

"Hey." She said.

"Hi." I replied.

"What are you drawing?"

"Nothing really, just doodles." She laughed as I said this.

"It's nice here."

"Ya it is, shouldn't you be with the dog-eared creep?" I asked.

Again, she laughed.

"Who?...oh! You mean Inuyasha?"

"Yes, the dog-eared creep."

"He's eating with everyone else, I was not that hungry and decided to come outside for a walk, what are you doing here?"

"Just enjoying the nice weather."

"You seem really quiet, why don't you have lunch with us sometime?"

"I have no reason to be loud, and sure, I'll have lunch with you guys sometime."

She smiled and I tried to smile back but failed horribly. We talked for a while and I actually began to think she was different.

For the rest of the day, I was pretty happy.
