Cruel Fate Chapter 4- Confusion By Area99

-- Classroom ---

The homeroom teacher of both Sora and Mimi sat down and started to introduce both side's parents to each other.

"Umm.Well Mimi's father, Mr. Ishida, is the president of our school's parent council, while Mimi's brother, Yamato, is the president of the student council." Ms. Fukushima said enthusiastically.

Sora only looked at them in a distasting way.

"And Mimi is our homeroom's representative." The teacher added.

Mrs. Tachikawa immediately turned her head towards Mimi and said, "Wow! You're the class representative? How amazing!"

This only caused Sora to narrow her eyes even more.

"Thanks Auntie." Mimi gave a polite nod and a sweet smile. "My name's Mimi Ishida. Nice to meet you." She said formally.

This made Mrs. Tachikawa felt nothing but impressed about how polite her "daughter" was.

"Mrs. Ishida, this is Sora Tachikawa." Mrs. Fukushima motioned her hand towards Sora. "And she is the top student in our school and also the vice- representative of our class."

"Hugh?" Mrs. Tachikawa nudged her daughter. "Hey, you're a vice- class representative?"

"Mom." Sora said, obviously embarrassed and angered by her mom's sudden question, an act of foolishness she believed.

"Hi. My name is Sora Tachikawa." She said it in a way that gave people an impression that she clearly didn't want to be there.

"Sora. uhhh. he..hello." Mrs. Ishida replied, uncomfortable with the presence of both of her "daughters".

"Now, since the parents of both of our class representatives are here, why don't we talk about future activities these two might be involved in?" The teacher asked, visibly indicating that she's really excited of the upcoming events.

"What?!" Sora's mom shouted and stared at her daughter. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN THESE KINDA THINGS! NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING! YOU'RE CAUSING TROULBE FOR ME AND OTHER PEOPLE! I MAY EVEN NEED TO PAY MONEY FOR SENDING YOU OVERSEAS TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE EVENTS!"

Sora didn't know what to do, usually she would've talked back, but don't know why, she felt really helpless at that moment. All she did was gazed at her shoes and let her "mom" continue her rant.

"I believe that's enough, Mrs. Tachikawa. I don't think Sora did this only to cause you trouble, maybe all she wants to do is to help her classmates with classroom matters and such." Mr. Ishida calmly reasoned, even though he had no idea the true purpose of Sora being a class representative. (Note: Oh just to tell you, Sora only wanted to be a class representative only because she wanted to go against Mimi and try to give her a hard time.)

"Well, YOU don't need to tell me what I should or should not do! I've taken care of this girl for years! You don't need to tell me how to teach my daughter!" Mrs. Tachikawa screamed back, intentionally emphasizing on the last two statements. "What do you want to do now?! Take." Her sentence was broken by footsteps charging out of the room.

"Sora!" Mr. Ishida shouted.

"Humph! That inconsiderate brat! Running off like that!" Mrs. Tachikawa continued to mumble things about how spoiled Sora is and how she shouldn't have treated her that nice before, while Mr. Ishida charged out of the room.

Yamato only stayed silent, quietly witnessing the beginning of his family's severe change.

--- Outside the school yard and somewhere near a lake near school ---

"Sora!" Mr. Ishida shouted his "daughter's" name. "Sor." He was silenced when he saw Sora's body lying on the grass with tears falling down her face.

He quickly ran to where Sora was.

"Are you alright?" He asked kindly.

"Yah, I'm fine, this happens often." She wiped her eyes immediately, not willing to show people, especially a stranger, the weak side of herself.

"That's good."

"Why do you care? I don't even know you." She said emotionlessly, not indicating whether she's thankful of his caring gesture, or hating him for interfering with her matters.

"I don't know, it just seems that you needed help back there and here too." He said simply.

"Oh."

"It's hard to live without a father right?" He asked suddenly, not noticing that he's intruding into her private life.

She looked at him intently; suspicious of his sudden questioning, but she answered him anyways. "There are times when I question why can't I just have a normal life, or a life that's even better, where my parents are rich, where I don't need to bother whether our house will be robbed during the night, making me get another sleepless night."

Mr. Ishida frowned at hearing this.

"I don't know, sometimes I just hate my Mom for being poor and helpless. Doing nothing but yell at me for being spoiled or something like that." She stopped talking and gazed into the distance.

"Ok." Mr. Ishida stood up and brushed off the dirt on his pants. "Why don't we go and have some fun? Just to forget all the things that had happened? Wanna come?" He suggested cheerfully.

Sora's eyes only widened in response, totally shocked by how a stranger would do such a thing on the first day they met.

"Oh well, I'll just take that as a yes then." He grabbed Sora's wrist and pulled her up and leaded her to his car.

In the distance, a pair of clear blue eyes stared at the spot where his father and Sora had just sat on. His eyes narrowed and then he walked back towards the entrance of the school.
