Ajisai Hana here, and I've news to tell you: I've fixed it with Aren! Yahoo! We're still fixing it, it's actually difficult to put it like how it was before we fought.
I've got our fight out of my hair, but Mama's threat from 3 years ago still haunts me. Before, I used to get B's and C's on my Malay Language Essay and my Maths. Neither am I a Mathlete, nor an expert in the local language. Muchi-nichan's both. Because of that, Mama threatened to transfer me to somewhere else: Zainab National Elementary School for Girls, school of my curricular enemy Ilinur, and SIR Kelantan Champ Marsya and Rachel Tee Wey Ern.
Of course, I said no! Firstly, because Zainab National is a place for girls. I don't wanna be in a place full of girls! They're gonna invite me to all kinds of tea parties and fashion swaps... =-=; Second, I'll part with my friends. T^T
And guess what? Mama still means it, even though that threat is already 3 years old. I'm scared, because I don't want to spoil my sixth and last two months of being a SRIA WB senior by transferring to Zainab National for only two months! That's the same for Aren too. Her mother threatened to transfer to where she's teaching now if she doesn't work for her A's.
I heard about it after the Maths test two days ago. She was crying in the multipurpose hall, but I couldn't speak to her, so I had Airisu do it for me. She told me about Aren's mother's threat. I then remembered what Mama said about me transferring to Zainab National if I don't get A's. I sat alone, and tears started to fall.
I couldn't help but cry, because if either one of us or both of us don't get full A's for the exam, we'll never see each other or our friends anymore, because we would be in a different school of a different town. (Yes, I know, I know, that's unlike me at all, but since I turned 12 in June, I felt the problems and stress of being a 6th year Muchi-nichan's been talking about)
Unknowingly I started to attract Airisu and Aren's attention. I noticed that they were approaching me and I quickly wiped my tears away, but that attempt failed cause' I had to let out all that sadness I've been holding in for the past 2 years. Aren told Airisu to ask me what was wrong. Then I told her about the threat.
" Don't worry," she said, " we'll be together, the three of us. You guys just have to work hard on what you need to accomplish."
Nice advice, I had to admit, but I couldn't do it. Why? Because I knew I'll never ace it for the Junior Qualifications. Aren approached me, tears wetting her cheeks.
" Are you mad at me?" she asked, her voice wavering. " If you are, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to anger you."
My eyes widened. Was she actually apologising? When she asked, I didn't say anything but shook my head. I had to apologise to her. I couldn't find the right time, until I found her alone at her desk. I went to her and apologised for everything that I've done. Like me, she did nothing but nodded her head.
She was about to ask me something with her serious face, and I didn't want it, because I've always been scared of it, that's because it makes me feel like she's mad at me. So I wanted to put a stop to that. When she was about to ask, I did something that made me feel good and Len-ish inside.
" C'mon, Aren," I said encouragingly, " I'm really sorry for what I've done. C'mon Aren, the least you can do for me is smile!"
She heard what I said and burst into a laugh. It'd been weeks since I heard her laugh, or seen her smile, or even seen her being happy at all. It was a nice feeling. And thank God and my friends who helped me.
Your lips of Sincerity,
.:MIMI TACHIKAWA:.
