Chapter 10: Middle School Flashback

"Bye mom, see ya later! Love you!"

My Mom waved at me.

"Bye, Miku! See ya later!"

My school was pretty close to where I live. I hopped on my bike and rode away.
I finally arrived at school.

I locked up my bike into the bike rack and walked to class. Neru was waiting for me.

"Get to class, Neru." I said.

"Get to class, Neru." Neru mimicked my voice. I pushed her out of the way.

"You first." I said.

Neru pushed me down.

"Zip it, Hatsune! Has anyone told you how stupid you are?"

I glared up at her.

"Only you, Blondie. Now shoo."

Neru bent down.

"How about this?"

She picked up my teal pigtail and held it up.
It didn't really hurt.

Until she yanked it.

"Ow! Lemme go!" I said.

Neru yanked harder.
I felt something warm start to drip down my head. I rubbed my hand against it and looked at it.
It was dark red BLOOD!

"STOP, NERU! I'm bleeding!"

Neru yanked once more and let go. I fell down and hit my head. I felt my ears begin to ring, but I ignored the pain. I got right back up and walked inside.

Neru was tired. She fell asleep on her desk. I noticed a pair of scissors on my teachers desk. I walked over to Neru.

Snip!

Her hair fell off. Now it would probably be down to her back if her hair wasn't in a side ponytail. I cleaned up her hair and threw it into the big trashcan.

The teacher came into the classroom and she noticed my bleeding head.

"Miku! What happened? Go to the nurse's office and lie down."

"Okay."
~TIMESKIP IN FLASHBACK~
"Neru must be more careful, Miku. That girl is mean." The Nurse finished wrapping bandages around my head.

"You lost some blood. Do you feel lightheaded, Miku?"

"Yeah, a little."

The Nurse pointed at the bed.
"Okay, go to sleep then."

"Okay." So I crawled into the bed and fell asleep.
~ANOTHER TIMESKIP~
I woke up and looked at the clock.
I yawned, and I touched my long pigtails.

But they felt SHORTER!
I untied them and felt my hair.
It was SHORT!

My hair was down to my neck!
"Neru..."

I ran to the bike rack and saw Neru unlocking her bike. It was time to go home. Yes, go home. Once again, I slept that much.

"NERU!" I held up my hair.

Neru smirked.

"Hey, Miku. I know you gave me a trim, so I gave you a little trim, too." She said.

"A LITTLE trim!? No, this is a BIG trim! ASK me next time!"

Neru smirked again.

"And why should I do that when you didn't ask me?"

I didn't answer. I angrily unlocked my bike and rode home. I knew I could never win against Neru.
~END OF FLASHBACK~
"THAT JERK!" Cody was fuming by the time I finished.

I thought back to all the memories.
"All these memories makes me want to go commit suicide!" I said.

I started choking myself.

"Miku, stop! Don't kill yourself. Let me help you." Cody said, taking my hands away from my throat.

I looked up at him.
"Please...teach Neru a lesson."
