(TW: Implied Bullying)

The girl's bathroom was quiet now. It wasn't moments ago and even now the sounds of mocking laughter could be heard in the distance. After a momentary beat, one of the stalls opens and Arisu walks toward a sink. She is wet from when one of her former friends had thrown a bucket of chemically smelling water over the stall.

 Arisu looks at her uniform and sighs, wringing out the soaked part of her shirt. It is just going to be like this for awhile. They'd forgive her eventually...she hoped anyway.

 If she hadn't had told the teacher about them trying to sneak out...If they hadn't gone to their parents...AND something happened, it would be because Arisu didn't say something. It would always come back on her.

 They were freaking college guys no less. Creeping on high school girls. She can feel a cold spell run down her spine as she considers the grossness of the situation.

 No they would someday thank her for protecting them...like she always did.

 She meets her eyes in the mirror, considering if she maybe has to go back to class in her PE outfit.

 The chemically water clearly had a lot of cleaner in it, making her clothes abrasively smell of the floral scent of the floor cleaner.

 "Arisu-chan...." A voice came from behind her, Arisu turned to see Ai, one of her last friends. Arisu forces a smile and wipes away a tear that suddenly formed in her eye. "Ai-chan...I'm fine. They'll come around. I have to be strong until then." She isn't sure if she still believed this but it makes her feel better for the moment. Finally, Arisu forces a smile at Ai, tilting her head. "It will be ok. I'm ok."

 She wasn't.
