I came back to America shortly after my accident, also making up a colorful story about why I was in a cemetery at 3 in the morning. In some ways, I feel that whatever happened that night was just a dream from the concussion I got from hitting my head off of a tombstone.
I went for my senior year of high school about three weeks after I came home. I walked into my high school and almost automatically the principal walks up to me. He and I aren't exactly on good terms, I've spent enough of my school life stuck in the principal's office for skipping class; yet I have one of the highest GPA's. The principal says to me, "Hisana! This is Kito Ito, and is retarded Japanese like you!" (he's really racist, it's not even funny)
Kito Ito buts in angrily saying, "HEY!"
The Principal buts in again, "Just show her around with you other Japanese scum. AND DETENTION FOR TWO WEEKS!"
I asked, "For what," But he was already gone.
"Wow, he is a true scumbag." Kito says to me.
"Yeah I know, at least you only have to deal with it for a year. I had to deal with it for six now," I tell her.
Kito was a really bubbly and had ADD tendencies. She was pretty smart, and had this bright red hair…like that person who saved me from that monster weeks ago.
"Hey, how long have you been around here?" I ask her.
"Umm, not long, a week or so," She tells me.
"Oh okay…I'm sorry, you just look so familiar," I tell her.
"Well, I swear I've never been here before until today," She smiles at me, "Hey is there a festival going on? I think we should go there first! Please?"
"Yeah there's a festival to raise money for clubs and sports at the beginning of the year, and sure I guess we can go there first."
The festival is set up in the gym and also the parking lot, with actually a lot of attractions that year. Since Kito was actually from Japan, she's never had much of the fried carnival food.
"This stuff is AMAZING! What is all of this food, I looooooove it!" She happily said.
"Those are churros…it's like a doughnut from Mexio. And that's a funnel cake, fried oreos, and fried dough. It's really good, but also really bad for you to eat," I told her.
Minutes later, she literally bought all of the churros from the guy. And ate them all. I never thought anyone could do that.
After her churro shenanigans, she pulled me into a fortune telling tent. "It'll be fun!"
The fortune telling tent was dark colors of purple and blue, with light-up stars. An older lady sat at the table. "Do you want your Tarot cards read?" she asked.
"Um sure," I said.
"Umm…I umm is um, just her for support…" Kito says nervously.
"But you pulled us in here…" I looked at her, not amused.
The older lady pulled out the deck of cards, pulled three out and put them face down on the table. "Now, I'm going to put them up one at a time, they tell the story of your past, present, and future."
She flips over the first one, it says death.
"hmm.." she mumbles.
The second, it says hermit.
"Very interesting…" she whispers.
The third, it says nine of swords.
"Well, from reading your cards, you must be a mediator!" She tells me.
Kito looks at me nervously. I say, "Excuse me?"
"You are a mediator, Death shows up in your past because you can see them! The Hermit is a protector of people, and also a leader. You lead the spirits into the right path! But the nine of swords shows something horrible is going to happen in your future." She said.
"Uh okay, thanks" I quickly say, putting some money on the table and whisked away along with Kito.
I wondered if that fortune teller was telling the truth, since she got the first two right. But something bad going to happen later? I wasn't a believer then.
Kito and I became best friends that year, even though we had nothing alike at all. She was insane, and once and a while, I've seen her chasing this guy with white, spiky hair screaming, "TOSHIRO! COME BACK!"
I just never asked.
Author's Note:
I've had my cards read once, just please don't bash me if I got something wrong. It's just a story.
Also, there's probably going to be one more flashback chapter, then on to the present.
Also…please disregard any spelling errors..XD
