I woke up again early in the morning groaning not wanting to get up yet i had to since i don't want to make my father get mad at me since he told me to be out at home before he gets up. I feared my father ever since i was really small. I don't even know why but i grew up without a mother and an abusive father. Why did i have to be born?.I thought to myself as i walk down the path. Tch why do i even bother to go to school anyways!.Just as i turn to the right alley, a certain someone just called behind me.
"HEY! WAIT!" she ran up to me panting. I just raised my brow at her.
"Isn't Ohana Elementary School that way" She said pointing to the other side of the rode. Geez so what? I thought but just replied her with a 'yes' obviously wanting to walk off. After i said that her face showed shock and confusion. Why does she have to bother anyway?.
"EHHHH!? DON'T TELL ME YOUR CUTTING CLASSES EARLY THIS MORNING!?" She shouted. The hell! this is getting annoying!.
"shheeeessshh why do you care anyway? your not my dad! leave me alone..your making me deaf! tch" as soon as I said that I continued to walk off leaving her behind yet she still continued to shout behind me.
"HEY! COME BACK! CLASS IS ABOUT TO START YOU KNOW!"
Who cares about school anyways! It's just full of annoying brats. I walked off through the old playground. I usually came here whenever i dont feel like going to school or in the mood which is most likely almost everyday. I just sigh as i went above an octopus looking shell or tunnel or whatsoever. I just layed there the whole time and soon the time flows by i then knew school is done and i then went home.
~a few minutes later~
I arrived home and then went to my room and starting to play the new game called btooom! i know im still young and playing such games isnt good for a 6 years old like me. but heh why do i care anyways. I just love playing the game and looking at how these weak players get defeated by a 6 years old. after a few hours of playing I then turned off the game not wanting to be beaten by my father. Just as i turned it off my father came home.
"OII KOUSUKE WHERE ARE YOU!" I felt a chill ran down my spine knowing from his voice that his drunk. I just went to the living room letting him know my presence since im not allowed to talked back at him fearing for what might come.
"Oii cook me a meal will you!" I trembled in my place and just nodded. "BETTER HURRY UP!" he said as he threw a shoe at me. I then scurried to the kitchen and cook what was left from the fridge. As soon as I was done i then hurriedly went back to the living room but then lost my balance only for the food to spill on the ground. This cause me to froze knowing what will happen.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WASTING THE FOOD!?" I just sit up with my knees on the ground apologizing at him. "YOU THINK JUST A SIMPLE SORRY WOULD BE ENOUGH FROM WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!?" he said while kicking me by my side hitting my rib, I groaned in pained not wanting my tears to fall as he continued to beat me up. As soon as he was done he left me there and went to his room to sleep. I just lay there catching every breath i could and as soon as the pain lessened i then went to my room tending my bruising and making sure that i won't be making any noises as soon as I'm done i just sat there in my bed bringing up my knees together and just waited for my father to drift off to sleep. A few hours later i heard someone snoring beside my room. When i heard it I then took it that he was already in his deep slumber i then look out the window.
"It's raining hard.." I then grab an umbrella and slowly climbed down the window. I went to my usual place as always, the old playground. As I arrived at my location I saw a familiar girl sitting in one of the swings almost frozen. But then just looking at her made my heart ache like there's something inside it that i can't explain. She's so broken...I thought to myself but then I snapped from my thoughts knowing that the little girl needs a shelter.
" Oi! Do you want to die from a cold!?" I told her as i went up to her with my umbrella. She just look up at me with red puffy eyes knowing that she was crying, she just shook her head a 'no' as a reply.
"If you don't want to..then let's go over there" I pointed at the big octopus that I usually hang out. I began to walk with her following behind, when we arrived we both sat together.
Sitting down I just stared at her looking at her features. She looks beautiful. I thought to myself looking at her face and her beautiful long locks just as I look down I kinda blush and looked away knowing I stared too much.
"Hey, you know you'll get sick with those in you" I pointed my finger at her drenched clothes with a slight blush but I just shrugged it off and took off my hoodie to offer it at her. "Here take this before you get yourself sick". She look at the hoodie then took it quickly. I then turned around for her to change. "Tha..thanks" She whispered but barely audible for me to hear.
"It's fine..sooo ummmm What are you doing here at this hour?" I said. She remained silent yet I still continued.
"Hey, I don't know what happened but everythings going to be fine" When I said that she the turned her head at me.
"Ho..how?" She replied still trembling.
"hmm?" I spoke thinking that I wanted to protect her. "Because I'm here..I'll be your support" I said and smiled.
"Wh-Why? we..we just met.."
"Hmmm? That's because i had this feeling of wanting to protect you." I bluntly said feeling heat rising at my cheeks.
"Ehh? What do you mean?" She said seeming confused.
"Well you see when i came here and saw you sitting on that swing not moving. I look at you as if you were soo fragile and felt the urge to protect you.." I said still slightly blushing. "So if there's something wrong then i don't mind listening".
After what I said, she smiled. Her smile was warm and so innocent that made my heart beat faster.
"Akira, Fukushima Akira is my name.." I snapped my thoughts at this.
"Ehh? ohh uhh my names Kira Kousuke" Ahh damn! I forgot to introduced myself. She smiled and scooted closer at me noticing her shivering I also scooted beside her. Feeling comfortable she slowly opened up at me and same goes for me and we quite learn a few similarities like playing a game BTOOOM!. After the long hours she suddenly spoke up about something.
"Hey, I just remembered something. Were'nt you that boy who's always absent in class? you know you'll soon drop out from class won't your dad get mad?" Hearing my father's name made me shiverred.
"Ahh ummm..gomen.." She apologozed after knowing at each other she knew I'm not on good terms with my dad.
"That's fine. He already knew about it and got mad. But thanks for telling me..don't worry I'll start attending next week anyway." I told her not wanting her worries.
"I'm really sorry. And here you were the one who comforted me and yet I-" She said but I interrupted her.
"I said its fine. Hmmm how about we make a promise?" Maybe it's good to make a promise.
"Ehh? hmm what would that be?"
"Let's promise together that will fight and live together till the end." I smiled at her.
"Yeah..Let's promise then that'll we'll be together forever!" She said in a happy tone with glint in her eyes and then she held up her pinky finger. "Pinky Promise?"
"Pinky Promise!" I said as I held her pinky with mine.
"Then from now on we'll be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!" She said while giggling.
"yeah..BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!" I said it with a high-pitched voice. Noticing her laughing at this I too laugh with her.
after a couple of hours talking and laughing. The sun began to rise indicating that morning is almost up. Knowing this we both then began walking home since after that talking we knew that our houses were just a couple of blocks away. As we arrive in front of my house she smiled and bid me goodbye then went inside. I then walked up the road
