Chapter 3:

Right Choice.

Memories with you


"Huh!!!!!" a manly voice screaming fom the bottom of his heart, my dad—Tsuguri Naoka "No way!! Absolutely No way!!" 

"Yeah!! That can't be true!!!" Yuki mom—Tsukasa Naoka said 

"I mean, that's the most plausible explanation" i said 

"that we're related" she said, which made me feel a certain way, kinda sad

I mean, there's no way i could date my sister, it's kinda....    Wait, what am i thinking!?! 

"No signal again!?!?!" My dad exclaimed, he sat back nonchalantly on the sofa "My login streak!!!!!" 

"Really?? I could login though" Tsukasa said "huh, your opening screen's different, we don't have cutscenes like that" 

"Are sure it's even the same game" My dad said, looking disinterested 

"oh, yeah by the way dad" i said 

"uhhuh, whats wrong kid" 

I approached him, whispering in his ear "Why are we living in their apartment??? Isn't this freeloading???" 

"I don't know mannnn" he whispered back "somehow we ended up ordering the same room, and ontop of that they don't have any more apartments" 

"What!?! How's that supposed to work! Did the website glitch out or something" 

"Don't know dude, sometimes it happens i guess" he said "it's not like we can live elsewhere, they got the monopoly mann"

"Well, that sucks" i said, taking furitive glances at both the women "Are they okay with this???" 

"I mean they're probably thinking the same as us" he pointed at them. I could see Yuki whispering to Tsuguri and giving us glances

"So uh" i said "I am really sorry!!!!" 

"Ehhhhh!?!" Yuki squeaked "W-Wh-Whats W-Wrong!?!?" 

"Uhm, sorry for freeloading!!!" i said, bowing 

"Ehhhh!?! Uhm! Me too! Sorry for freeloading!!!!" she said, also bowing

"Gah" i could hear the heavy sigh of both adults 

***

"Wow!! This taste so good!!" Tsukasa said, her face looked like she had gone to heaven

"huh" dad looked at his piece of beef and took a bite of it "Wow!! It's so tender!! Family-run restaurant sure are the best!!!" 

"I know right!! Here try this one!!" Tsukasa said, feeding dad with her chopstick

"uhm, damn!!" he said

"What a lovely sight" i said sarcasticly

"A very lovely sight" Yuki said eating her food 

I ate my food, and glanced at both of them, they really looked like a couple, honestly it made me happy 

I'm glad he's happy, he has suffered, suffered enough, losing his wife and daughter, while having to care for me 

I'm not saying it only effects him too, for me, it makes me feel really lonely, like something is missing in my life

I sighed, a lot of unexplainable emotion coursed through me, trying to distract my self i tried to spark up a conversation

"So, uh" i glaced at Yuki, she held her head seeming really sad "Hey, are you okay??" 

"Oh! I'm okay, just thinking about something..." she clenched her fist hard putting alot of pressure on the chair 

"Oh, i'm sorry" i said, having nothing to say to her, damn i suck at talking to women

"Anyway" Yuki said "Can you follow me??" 

Yuki stood up, signaling me to follow "Hey mom, have you enrolled us to school??" 

"No, we'll do it later okay" 

"No problem, I'll take care of it" Yuki said, taking my hand "Lets go" 

***

I gulped in trepidation, as me and Yuki stood infront of the door

We followed in que as we heard the signal 

"Come in!" 

I slid open the door, both of us walked in and stood infront of class

"Introduce yourselves!!" the chipper teacher patted us smiling 

I looked at Yuki and we decided on the introduction we had rehearsed 

"Hey Everyone!!" We bowed "We are from the cities!!" 

"I'm Yuma, Yuma Naoka" 

"And I'm Yuki, Yuki Naoka" 

"Nice to meet you guys!!!" we bowed again

The room stayed silent, we looked up checking the reaction of our classmates 

All of them just stood silent, there were 15 or so people, but none of them said anything or reacted, they look shocked 

Feeling the tension around the classroon, i gulped in awkwardness 

The teacher patted our backs, and with a cheery tone said "Alright! Please take a seat!" 

We took a seat, which was located on the back of the class, Yuki on the corner and i sat in front of her

The student sitting beside me was a guy, he looked buff and athletic 

"Hey, Nice to meet you" he said, after noticing i was looking at him "I'm Fuu, Fuu Maki" 

"Oh! Uhm, nice to meet you too" i replied anxiously 

"oh, c'mon, don't be so scared" he wraped his arm around my shoulder "You guys are virtually popular now, just look at our classmates!" 

I took glances around the glance, a lot of them were looking at us, but when i glance at them, they immediately looked away

"A lot of them were eager to talk to you y'know" he said "but the principal can be strict sometimes" 

"whats that supposed to mean?" 

"Y'know, like exams, grade requirements, no running on halls, extra classes and so on " he said "It sucks honestly, i hate this school" 

"Isn't that normal?" 

He looked at me seriously, his eyebrow sunken

"Whoa! I didn't mean to offend!" i said, putting my hands up

His face relaxed, facing the whiteboard in a thoughtful look

"I guess its fair—i mean the pressure must be tough for you guys" he said "i had a friend of mine, who moved to the big cities" 

He took out his phone, and showed me a picture 

"Whoa! Keep it down okay, the teacher will see us" i said, grabbing his phone

"Nah, Don't worry, its not the big cities" he said, taking back his phone "Anyway, this is him, a really smart dude y'know. Top one in the whole grade" 

"But" he said "Let just say, he didn't make it" 

He looked sullen "The pressure got to him y'know, destroyed him real bad" 

"Oh, sorry" i said, catching up what he meant, the distant look, low voice, i could guess what happened to that poor dude "It must be hard for you" 

"What do you mean?" Fuu said "It's hard, but not like he's dead or smth" 

"Huh, so he isn't dead?" i looked at him, his face puzzled 

"Nah he fucked up his life, y'know smoking, alcohol" Fuu said "Feel bad for him..." 

"You guys must be close" i said

"Huh???" his eyes widen, looking at me

"uhm! Is there something wrong???" 

He unwrapped his hand around me, and placed his hand on the chin "Not really, i guess you're so kind" he smiled "Y'know, you're the first one who actually listened to me" 

***

"Finally!!!" Fuu screamed, standing up

"Sit down Fuu, The class hasn't ended yet" the teacher, said 

Fuu snapped, as in que the jingle of freedom filled my ears "But now it is" he smirked

"Very well" the teacher said, vapidly "Class's over" 

"Yeah!!!!" the whole class erupted 

"Way to go fuu!!" 

"I'm so boredddd, finally!!" 

"Anyway, can we say hi now!??!" a student said

As the word got out, everyone turned to look at us

"Oh, no" Fuu said "Well, good luck bud!!"

Fuu ran, squishing against the crowd of zombies approaching us and out the classroom

"Hey Fuu!!" i screamed

"Hey what are supposed to do!!!" Yuki held my arm

"I guess this is it!!!" i said

As we braced for impact, a sound erupted "Stop!! It guys!!!" a chiper voice called out

The lone figure revealed it self. Standing tall—with black hair as smooth as silk, it was Midore 

Midore approached us taking our hand "I'll lead you guys" 

We nodded, eventhough it was an unexpected development 

"But! Senior!" one of the girl exclaimed, "

Midore, ignoring the roar of the class, dragged us and  squeezed us against the crowd

Finally exiting the class, Midore sighed visibly, as the roar of the class ensued

She dragged us again until we stood in front of the school entrance

"Hey, whats wrong?" Yuki said nonchalantly

"huh?" Midore tilted her head looking perplexed, but soon left laughing 

"Hey! What do you mean!??!" Yuki face reddened

Midore patted Yuki head like a mom looking at his child

"wuhhhh!?!?" Yuki squeked, her face now red hot 

"Oh? How cuteeeeee!!" Midore said giggling

Holding out her hand "Let's go sweetie!" Midore smiled
