-Girl in black-

Chapter 2:

Shinobu quietly walked into her room and sat on her bed. She suddenly felt really sad.

Then she remembered how at dinner she was so quiet.

She hated this feeling.

She lay on her bed and began to cry.

Shinobu cried herself to sleep that night.

When her alarm clock rang the next morning, she turned it off and put on her school uniform.

She walked downstairs for breakfast, and of all the things, she saw Su and Harue sitting at the kitchen table together. They were talking as if they were best friends.

Shinobu gasped.

Su turned around. "Oh? Shinobu? You're awake? 'Morning! Come eat with us it's yummy!"

Harue smiled at Shinobu and said, "Yeah, come on it's really good. I made it."

"Um.n..no thank you. I'll get something at lunch. Besides, I'm not really hungry." Shinobu whispered, her voice shaky.

"Oh. That's too bad." Harue said as she picked up a cookie from her bag and took a bite out of it.

"Well, Harue, wanna go to school now?" Su said cheerfully.

"Haha, I don't want to but I have to so let's go."

They both walked out of the house, skipping merrily and talking to eatchother.

Shinobu blinked her eyes.

"Wh.. what WAS that?!" She gasped "Su and HARUE are FRIENDS?!"

With that, Shinobu got her things, and walked to school. The whole way she hoped that she wouldn't have to talk to Harue too much today.
