CHAPTER 1: TRANSFERRING
"Did you hear Keiko?" Kimiko asked Keiko as they hung out in the corner of the classroom, away from everyone else, "What?" Keiko asked. "Well, this is just what I heard, but I heard that that Hoshiyo girl from class 3 is transferring!" Kimiko whispered. "You're serious? But why would she transfer? She's so nice and everyone likes her!" Keiko complained in a hush tone of voice as Kimiko sighed. "Some, or should I say the majority of the girls in the classes have been making fun of and talking smack about her. It's probably because some of the girls thought that she was a threat, and really made a major blow in her self-esteem. But I'm probably just talking out of my ass." Kimiko said in a hushed voice.
"I can't believe it! Do you know which high school she's going to?" Keiko asked.
"Well, I also heard that she's leaving Kanagawa Prefecture to go to Karakura High School."
"What? You're serious?"
"Yeah."
"But Karakura Town is on the other side of Japan!"
"I know. But she probably just wants to get away, far away, from these girls."
"I know that, but why not just go to another high school here?"
"She probably just doesn't want to see these girls' faces again, and also doesn't want to be confronted by them."
"That's sick."
"It is. Let's just hope her life turns out for the better."
"But…didn't her mother just disappear out of the blue?"
"Yup."
