Yami Hakumei

The first day of school. For me any way's. It was the middle of the school year and I had been a transfer student. I walked through the halls and made my way to the office. "Hello how may I help you?" said the woman at the desk. "Yeah I'm new and I'm not shore where I'm supposed to be." I said shyly.

"What's your name?" said the woman

"Yami Hakumei" I answered

The woman looked through some papers and pulled one out. "Ah yes. You're our new transfer student."

I nodded. "Here's your schedule and the list of books you will need to get." she handed me some papers and sent me off to my first class.

My first class was study. I walked in quietly and sat down in the very back seat nearest the window. A couple of girls walked over to me an asked me my name. "Yami Hakumei" I said nervously. "That's quite a name" said one of the girls trying to hold back laughter. They walked away and started laughing and making fun of my name. I folded my arms on the desk and put my head down. I had nothing to do, so I just stared out the window.

Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hi" I said shyly.

"Hey, your new right?" said the boy.

"Yeah" I answered.

"I see you met Karei and her posy"

I nodded

"I'm Koyuki Kanashimi."

"I'm Yami Hakumei."

"Nice to meat you Yami." he said. Then I heard a yell come from Karei. "Koyuki don't talk to her."

"Why not?" Koyuki yelled back

"She's a loner. And I heard her parents are both dead. Her dad killed her mom and then killed him self. And just listen to her name Yami, who wants a name that means darkness. So how many suicide pills are you on Yami?"

I looked at her about to cry and put my head back own on my desk. "Oh she's crying" said Karei sarcastically.

Koyuki walked back over to me and said "Hey just ignore them. Your name is beautiful. There's nothing wrong with it. And about your parents..."

I cut him off. "Please don't. I don't need your pity. Just please leave me alone" I said holding back tears. He walked away and Karei said "See Koyuki. Forget about her. She's not worth it."

The bell rang and I was the last on to leave the room. I went to my next class, which was math. Again I sat in the most secluded seat I could fined. The teacher walked in and right behind her was Karei. "Ok class we have a new student to day. Her name is Yami Hakumei. Every one try to be nice and show her around and help her if she gets lost. Ok now that introductions are over let get back to math." she said kindly. She went to the bored and wrote down a math problem. "Can anyone figure this out in there head?...Anyone?" It was a very complicate math problem. I new the answer but I didn't want to say anything until. "Yami do you know the answer?" she asked desperately. "Well, X86, YZ, So Y and Z both 1,739 and in the other problem X 67 so the hole problem is impossible unless you add 6" I finished answering the question and every one was looking at me amazed, including the teacher. I was really proud of my self until Karei said "Wow she's a teachers pet too."

Every one started laughing and the smile on my face turned into a frown and I put my head down on the desk. "Ok let's get back to work class."

The rest of the day was the same. People talking about me. With in the time I got there to the time lunch started, many stories about me had erupted. The only one I heard was that I killed both my parents and made it look like my dad did it. With that being spread around at lunch I sat alone. I went to the last of my classes and went home, well as close to home as I could get. It was more are less a tent in the woods. I had no more family to go to so I lived in the forest.

My whole family was dead. I only ever had a mom, dad and a grandmother but they are all dead now. Both of my parents were the only children in there family so I had no aunts or uncles.

As I walked home I was feeling really sad about my parents. I never really liked or cared for either of them. But when people say things like what happened at school it makes me feel like I have to have parents to be normal. Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm just not normal. Or was I felling bad about ignoring that boy in my study. I don't know.

I arrived at the entrance to the forest path. I walked in. I walked about 30 yards and looked for the heart tree. Its tree that's trunk was split in 2 and the 2 sides meet and form a heart shape. That's the marker I use to fined the right place to turn. I turned into the dark forest and walked. I pulled out my flash light and the batteries died. I kept hitting it and it flickered but no luck it was dead. It was getting dark and I still wasn't home. The sun almost set when I reached my tent. I crawled in and my food had been eaten and torn apart. I hole in the back of the tent and food all over the tent and behind the tent. I sat on my feet and said "great this is just wonderful. No food, a hole in the tent and its going to rain tonight"

I also had a radio to check the weather. I turned it on. "A powerful storm is headed our way tonight. There's flood warning all over the county. Wind gusts as fast as 70mph."

I switched of the radio and cleaned up the food. I had to carry it far from the tent. It was dark and I want shore were I was going. I walked as striate as possible and dumped it. It started to rain so I started running. I forgot about a hole I tripped in before. I tripped and twisted my ankle. I yelled in pain and furry. I lied on the ground for, it seemed like hours. I was soaked and shivering. I took a deep breath and stood up and fell on the ground again. My ankle hurt too much. So, I crawled my way back to the tent. I fell asleep to the tent rustling and shivering.
