Autumn isn't going to make her decision just yet, but she will next chapter.

Autumn sat on her bed thinking for hours, but then her alarm rang,
Ai yai yai yai
Ai yai yai yai
Ai yai yai yai
She changed the song this time,
Where's my samurai?
Not waiting for the song to continue, Autumn turned off the alarm, and got dressed for school. Autumn was in no mood to walk all the way down the stairs, so she slid down the railing. It was faster and more fun, the hard part was going back up again later.
"Where are you going?" Itachi asked. He was just sitting on the couch reading the newspaper.
"Don't you ever go to sleep?" Autumn asked grabbing a bagel from the refrigerator.
"... Sometimes." he answered, not really caring.
"Right, I'm going to school." Itachi's just nodded as she left. Autumn walked out of the house and toward the woods. The sun was just now starting to rise, and the trees were losing leaves even faster than before. She smiled to herself, she had to give Orochimaru some credit. This place was beautiful. Autumn walked down into the tunnels, because the sun was just now coming up, they were a bit cold, but Autumn didn't mind. Taking out a flashlight, Autumn continued on her way. She knew that she wasn't the only one going to school by the tunnels that morning, as she approached the crossroads she saw her friends waiting for her.
"Hey Fall! I was almost worried about you, you just disappeared last Friday." Daniel said offering her some gum, which she took gratefully.
"Well as you can see I'm okay! How 'bout you all?"
"You know I am!" May answered first.
"Tch, physically, not mentally." Autumn said smiling at her joke. Everyone else laughed too, including May.
"I'm good, parents are creeping me out though." Lyn said.
"My parent's are annoying as usual." Mandy replied, her family was very protective, none of her sisters were allowed to go outside unless there was a parent out there watching them.
"Where's Janet?" Autumn asked looking around.
"She's sick as usual," Janet had this very annoying habit of getting sick every other week. Autumn just sighed, but kept walking.
"Well I have Jazz on Wednesday, and Drama is coming up next week." she said mentally listing all of the different things that she really had to do this week.
"Sucks to be you," May said walking toward the exit.
"What do you mean 'Sucks to be me'? You have the same thing!" Autumn said running ahead to catch up with her.
"No, I have symphonic, and Drama. You know how Mr. B is about Jazz! You miss practice once, and he goes off like a bomb!" Autumn rolled her eyes and climbed out of the tunnels, the others followed in suite.
"I guess this is where we part ways," Autumn said smirking at Daniel, who was shivering. It was warmer underground than it was above.
"Very funny..."
"... Can I have your coat?"
"No!" Autumn took off running, and Daniel followed after her, both were laughing all the way.
Autumn was sitting in second period watching the clouds go by,
"Autumn?" 'Crap'
"Yes?" she asked knowing what was coming next.
"Can you please tell us the capital of... Argentina?" Autumn decided to cheat, she pulled out her map in the back of her agenda.
"Buenos Aires... Why do I need to know this in Comp.?"
"You don't, I'm just making sure that you're paying attention. Now can you tell me what we were just talking about?" Autumn cheated again, and looked at the back board.
"Polar Bears?"
"Correct! Why?"
"Because you have this little article, and you wrote your own version of it that is very undetailed, and poorly written, just to show us why we even have this class?" She said looking at the paper on her desk. Her teacher just pretended to cry.
"I worked very hard on that paper, now I'm going to cry at lunch now."
"..." Autumn's attention drifted back to the window.
"Autumn? Autumn?" It was lunch, and Autumn was sitting with her friends at their usual table. During school she hung out with her friends Becky, Allie, Serenity, and Nala.
"What?"
"Well tell us what happened!"
"If you bothered coming, then you would know, and you wouldn't be asking!" They were discussing the dance on Friday, and for Autumn that was a bit of a sore topic.
"Well excuse me for wanting to get some candy!" Becky said, pretending to be insulted.
"You're excused." Becky huffed, and walked to another table. She'd come back later.
"So what did happen?" Nala asked.
"I was forced to perform against my will, and Daniel did his best to scare the crap out of me."
"Nice."
"You get any candy?"
"Not much, some guy gave me a tooth brush!" Autumn smirked at her friend and laughed. Lunch was over for her team, she was going outside.
Autumn walked away from everyone for a moment, and made a clone. The clone went back to her friends, while the real Autumn went up the the roof. The new moon was coming up next week, and she still had to make a decision. Was she really going to go through with it? Either way there was a huge possibility that she was going to die, so if there was at least one way that she could live, she should take that option, right? She just thought about it for a while.
"What do you want?" Autumn asked. Tobi jumped from a tree, onto the roof.
"Are you going to go through with it?"
"So you heard."
"Tobi was going to come in, but Deidara-Sempai made Tobi leave."
"I'm thinking about it." She said.
"Tobi doesn't want Autumn to get hurt, but Tobi wants Autumn to live longer, so she can play with Tobi." Autumn blinked and got up. She had a whole week to think about this, there was no point in moping about it for that whole time.
Autumn jumped into a tree, leaving Tobi behind. She needed time to clear her head, her clone could handle school.
