Epilogue
After the bell rung, the teacher came in followed by an unfamiliar face. Everyone began to talk and the teacher came with the announcement.
Teacher
Listen up, the exam is coming in 2 weeks, pay attention with your study.
Teacher
And unfortunately at this kind of time, someone has to prepare herself even at her first arrival. Go ahead, introduce yourself.
Ishira
Nice to meet you all. Im Ishira Sukushima. Hope we can get along well.
Saying that with her cheerful expression everyone welcome her nicely. She's cute plus an easy going person. The new favorite girl in the school.
Yeah... just like any typical romance, this girl, got famous in no time. Admire and jealousy gathered around her. Both girls and boys are chasing her. Love and hate walk alongside her.
Here is where the female lead start her highschool sweet love story while still has to overcome her pitiful life situation. Yet there's always an obstacle for the main lead isn't there? The biggest obstacle called "B*TCH".
I mean, the villainess. Her life are far from the expectations of being the girl who everyone will fell in love with.
Scarlett
What are you looking at? p*ss off.
The one being hate
Teacher
Huft.. do you expect me to believe that?
Scarlett
But it's true ma'am, I also have a hard time there
Teacher
No, Scarlett, the issue is why it's always on Thursday? Just be honest and tell me what you always do on that day
Scarlett
but I've told you my grandpa was in critical condition last week and he passed away yesterday.
Scarlett
...my precious family ma'am. He's been taking care of me ever since my parents work at another country.
Teacher
...alright. I'll believe you this time
Teacher
Do you know it's your 18th time?
Teacher
the limit is 20. You aware of that right?
Teacher
You have a junior now, show some consideration will you? if you exit the limit you'll get expelled. No one's want that.
Scarlett
*of course I will. 2 more chances left and I've prepared the excuses from the very beginning. My life isn't unplanned ma'am. I have to take every existing chance*
Teacher
So, no excuse next time. I'll call your parents or even go to your place if you absence without any prior information.
Teacher
And I only accept an excuse from your parents words.
Scarlett
wait, but what if something happen but they're still doing important business and decline every call?
Teacher
well, then, you better tell them after this, so, they won't at least decline your call and contact the school
Teacher
no but. now you may leave.
She's at her loss now. She can't use the last 2 chances anymore. The actual reason she was absent every Thursday was for working at the amusement park to support her low financial condition. Although her age allowed her to work, she can't expose that. She really put her pride up above anything. And she has a reason to do that of course.
Headed out from the official room, she bumped into someone she really familiar with.
The famous guy in her school, Atsusi. He's her senior who has a crush on Ishira. Unfortunately, everytime Ishira being unlucky, she was always nearby. Enough reason for him to suspect her since she was one of them who doesn't like Ishira. Stupidly announced it in public.
right in front of the door
She left immediately after said that left him stood there because she already had something to do. He also didn't mind that and ignored her, then, entered the room like nothing happened.
She dashed downstairs to the Lobby
Her reckless step gave her another fortune. Nice timing, Ishira was in front of her and them both fell to the ground.
Thanks to her its not that hurt and fell down alone is way more embarrassing.
What a nice coincidence. A classmate came just in time. Quiet guy named Rei who never shown any interest on anything.
After heard the fuss, he dashed and lent his hand. To help Ishira of course, not Scarlett.
This guy actually had no bad intention to discriminate others. But because of her act being so curious about 'how could someone be that quiet?', she stared at him a lot in the class. And somehow, he take her gaze as a hatred
Other people also looked so worried asking if Ishira was alright, they didn't mind other presence who fell with her even a bit like she was gone already.
She had no other option but to help herself out alone. Her feet was hurt to move.
Yeah, of course it is but who cares? She know for sure there is none of them.
She tried her best to bear the pain and walked slowly left the school's building
Passed the school gate, she walked towards the city park, a shortcut to her workplace.
She sat at nearby bench, done something to her ankle to make it felt better, but it seemed not enough. She continued to walk and still walked awkwardly like a penguin.
Nao
Why you move like a penguin? *giggles*
I just told the reader dude.
Nao
Is it what people say, "you gain what you sow"?
She ignored him and kept walking. Then, he suddenly grabbed her hand to stop her.
Nao
I'm just kidding. Don't be mad.
Nao
Actually I'm a little depressed now. Many things happen so suddenly recently that I can't think properly. Will you accompany me? I haven't eat anything since yesterday.
Scarlett
Cut it out or I'll punch you.
She gave him a nice intimidating gaze and he looked really surprised by what she said because he didn't expect that. In result, he let her go in an instant.
Im serious when I said she was in "low financial". She's a damn poor girl. And now she's running late to go to her part-time job.
This guy lived near her house with his only mother. He looked younger and acted like a younger boy but their age are actually the same.
Even this cheerful looking guy called Nao who can be friend with anyone was never really meant to be friended with her. Because he's new in her neighborhood, he only know her based on the rumors and the bad rumors about her wasn't just spread at the school.
His real intention was persuade her to buy him food, nothing more or less. Believe me when I said no one was in her side.
Workplace
Finally, Scarlett arrived at the cafe. She enter the staff room form the back door. She threw her *** on the sofa as she feel her ankle getting more painful to move. It's swollen.
Scarlett
Goddamn. Hang in there, we still have alotta things to do.
She tried to do something with it. Fixed it on her own by moving it slowly find the correct position of the muscle and the joints.
Scarlett
At least, it's better now.
She changed to her uniform and headed out. It still hurt to walk around though because it's already swollen, but feel much better. The left arm still felt a little sore but fortunately there's no package to move today.
Scarlett
Should I feel glad?
Scarlett
I'll rely on you more. *talk to the right hand.*
After finish hearing a long angelic suggestions of the manager, and get a bonus called "salary cut off", she headed to the counter table.
Some very familiar voice, that will be the very last thing she wanna hear today approached her.
Hiki
Are you insane!? What time do you think right now!?
This kid- I mean this guy, Hiki, really had bad attitude to treat someone older than him like this.
He even treated Kaze, their senior here which 3 years above him like an annoying useless trash. She's been working with him for few months yet still haven't get along.
Hiki
Do you know how troubled I was to do everything on my own!?
Scarlett
You're such a big help
Hiki
You pay it later. No matter how.
A customer came at the right timing. She have to do her job and leave him be. He also headed to the storage room after that.
As usual no further conversation happened between these two.
More customer comes at night somehow. Well, because this cafe offer a scenery of the night city.
She had been standing more than hours, busy preparing orders, with that injuries. The sore on her left arm was came and gone.
Scarlett
...why times moves so damn slow
She rested on her right feet as much as possible while standing, in order to make her left ankle don't get so much pressure. But it still needs a break.
Meanwhile, in front of her, in a distance, she saw her enemy flirting with this jackass.
Hiki
Is there anything else?
Ishira
No, you just my type.
He just ignored her and back to the cabinet to take the cake
Scarlett
*He probably not into girls lol*
Ishira
Actually, I'm looking for Kaze, is he here?
Hiki
I never heard such a name.
Kaze
How can you said that??
Scarlett
*speak of the devil*
Kaze
It's up to you if you act like that to me or to that you-know-who creature
Kaze
But you should act nicer to the customer.
Ishira
No, he did nothing wrong. Don't scold him.
Ishira
He just tried to protect your personal information.
Kaze
I know someone who always think negatively, but why are you always look everything at the positive way?
Kaze
Don't tricked by his face Ishira, he's not into girls.
She can't hold it when Kaze said the same thing as she thought. And of course Hiki looked annoyed.
Ishira
Scarlett?? You work here??
