2 Mourning.

I don't know how much time passed, I and mother just hugged and cried for a long time, the sky wept, a huge rain and tempest pouring down on earth, I like to think that my dad was loved even by the sky, as it wept due to his death...

After some time mother looks at my bloody tears, my eyes have long since gone back to normal, concern washes over my mother's face as she looks at the blood.

"Are you okay Jin? There is some blood on your face."(Mom).

With that, she picks a handkerchief that she was carrying and use it to clean the blood off my face, and see no kind of wounds she visibly relax a bit.

"...no..."(Jin).

She hugs me again and says.

"I am not okay too..."(Mom).

The silence is deafening and dreadful at the same time, but I can't seem to be able to think clearly my mind was numb and foggy. What I didn't know back there was how much something like awakening the Sharingan can distort someone's psyche, the trauma, and shock of the loss, the swirling negative emotions, it picks everything of negative to amplify it and unlocks your eye powers. You feel emotions differently, stronger. Loss affects you more than any normal and sane person.

"Son... Go sleep, the day was horrible for both of us, tomorrow I will call the school for you, guess both of us aren't in any shape or form ready to go back..."(Mom).

With some sobs, she exits my room, presumably going to cry herself to sleep. Losing dad was... I don't know if I can even explain or describe it, it was like someone amputated my legs emotionally and left me screaming in pain but worse somehow...

That night I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up the next day, the sky was still clouded, and I felt like absolute shit, I just stayed there in my bed waiting for something to happen... Hours passed but I didn't even felt it, for me I had just woken up and was thinking...

*Knock*

"Son, Lunch is ready... You need to eat something..."(Mom).

Lunch? how can it be lunch, I've just woken up? I never oversleep, so how can it be lunch? I just went down to the kitchen, I am still in the same clothes as yesterday, I hadn't bothered to change them... I just looked at my mother, she is at least presentable, me on the other hand, I am simply a mess, my clothes were a mess, my face is a mess, my hair is a mess, I am a mess, Heck there is even some dried blood on my shirt. Mother looked directly into my dead eyes and said:

"I know you probably aren't even hungry. But you need to eat, son. It's for your health."(Mom).

"...ok..."(Jin).

I never had to force myself to eat in my life, it was horrible, I almost vomited my guts out three times. And I felt nothing, the food that my mother cooked that was always delicious suddenly tasted like nothing, bland, it was like I was eating water.

Even the house that was always warm and cozy, now it is chilly and ghastly, the vivid colors of the wall that always made the atmosphere happier now looked dull and unwelcoming. I simple dragged myself back to my room after eating.

I lay on my bed, just looking at the ceiling. Time passed, and if I had bothered to look outside of my window I would've been able to tell that the sun was down and it was already night. But I didn't, my mind was simply not there at the moment, I couldn't even feel the time passing and if it weren't for my body need to go to the bathroom I wouldn't even guess it was already midnight.

Midnight? How can it be already midnight? I've just had lunch? Where is my afternoon? I don't know. I cried myself to sleep again.

I woke up, but like yesterday I stayed in my bed. I don't know why, but I just stayed there looking at the ceiling I couldn't think, I couldn't rationalize.

*Knock*

"Sweetie, it's time for lunch. You need to eat at least something, you've already skipped breakfast and dinner. Please, Please eat something..."(Mom)

But lunch? Where is my morning? I've just woken up, no?...

Forget it, the last words mother said almost crying... I better go eat something, I may not be hungry, but I don't want my mother to become even more sad and worried about me.

I went to the kitchen and sat at the table. I looked at my food, my favorite, salmon rice, and a bunch of other things, normally this would make my whole day. But this time I just apathetically looked at the food and started eating mechanically, and after two or three bites, basically slamming and pushing the food down my throat I was prepared to go back to my room. But, my mother interrupted me:

"Son. Please. Eat a little bit more, I even made your favorite food, you need to eat, I don't want-..."(Mom).

"...ok... I will...try..."(Jin).

The way she said that almost crying, I couldn't simply say no. I tried eating again, it was difficult and laborious, but after a lot of insistence I was able to shove down my throat some food at least half of everything. I returned to my room.

Laying on the bed like yesterday looking at my blank ceiling. time passed, and soon my body was screaming at me to go to the bathroom, so to the bathroom, I went. Looking outside my window again, midnight.

What happened? this again? where is my afternoon? I don't remember time passing like that.

And so my life was like that, a vicious cycle, I didn't feel time passing anymore, the only semblance of normalcy was my mother calling me for lunch, if it wasn't for her I would've probably starved. But today was different, apparently, a week has already passed, my tears were already dry, I couldn't cry myself to sleep anymore, I would just lay on my bed and await exhaustion take me to the land of dreams.

But after one week the routine changed.

*knock*

I woke up due to a knocking on the door, mechanically I just got up from my bed and opened my door. Mother? is it already lunch perhaps? another day already passed?

"Son. You need to go back to school. I know you are in no condition of doing so, but maybe your friend and some colleagues can help you. So can you please take a bath? and eat breakfast? You can't simply stay in your room for the rest of your life..."(Mom).

She said this almost pleading, was she really that worried about me? but I did nothing wrong? I was always quiet, right?

"... I will... try..."(Jin).

Taking a bath after so long was strange... The water felt colder on my skin, It felt like the shower itself was crying on me, but I wasn't sweaty nor dirty so I was able to robotically finish my shower and put on the school uniform.

I went down to the kitchen and tried eating breakfast, I couldn't. I still let no hunger, and if it weren't for my body screaming at me to drink water or go to the bathroom, I probably wouldn't do it.

Mother drove me to the school, I barely registered anything on the way, I just looked at the grey cloud in the sky while she tried to cheer me up to school. We soon reached the school:

"Son, I know that you are still hurting. But please try, don't give up your life... I just hope some of your friends can help you... maybe we need a psychologist to help us..."(Mom).

"...bye mom..."(Jin).

It was early so there were very few people in the classroom, I just sat at my table and waited, waited like I did the week before, my unfocused dead eyes looking ahead. Some of my colleagues went to offer their condolences to me.

But it felt so empty, I barely talk with them and suddenly they all come to say their condolences? no one cares, their words are so full of nothing that it almost disgusts me. They don't care, so why they are saying it? why bother if you don't care?

Wei entered the classroom, he looks concerned and he is apparently searching for something. When he looks at me, my state, his face falls a little. He went in my direction and says:

"Hello Jin, my condolences. If there is anything I can help with just say it."

his words have emotion to it, he genuinely cares. It is not empty like all the previous others, its not just some words for the sake of appearances, my friend genuinely cares about it. So for the first time since I arrived at school, I said something:

"...thanks..."(Jin).

"Really, if there is something I can help with, just say the word."(Wei).

"...ok..."(Jin).

"Ok, you need some space, cool... Anything I am here, just say the word."(Wei).

I mechanically nodded at him in reply, after that the class continued to fill up until the teacher entered. He said his condolences too, but it was as empty as the others, just one more tool to maintain his image, if he could he would probably film my dad dying with his cellphone camera, this bunch of shitty people is just like that.

Classes passed in a blur, I didn't even exit the classroom. Some teachers tried asking questions but I didn't answer, I just ignored them, and like the egoistical maniacs that they are, they pressed for any kind of answer, and when I didn't they would make a joke at my expense and ask other classmates.

Soon, school ended. And Wei had some things to say.

"Bye Jin. And really, if you need anything just say to me if there is anything I can help with I am happy to do so."(Wei).

"...thanks... bye Wei..."(Jin).

I walked slowly, the world around me lesser than what I was able to remember, faces easily forgotten. Soon I reached the exit and my mother was waiting for me there.

Entering the car mother greets me:

"Hello, Sweetie. How was your day?"(Mom).

"...normal..."(Jin).

"I wanted to tell you that father's funeral will be held next week. Do you want to go?"(Mom).

"...yes..."(Jin).

Mom drove in silence towards our house, the radio was playing Linkin Park, but I wasn't paying enough attention to know which music was that, I was simply watching the sky. Soon we reached home, but when I was planning to go up to my bedroom mother called.

"Eat before you go up, I don't want you to become sick because you aren't eating right..."(Mom).

"...ok..."(Jin).

I was still without any kind of hunger, or desire to eat. But I did it anyway. Going back to my room I laid on my bed and looked at my ceiling until my body screamed at me to go to the bathroom.

It was midnight again.

How can I lose so much time? I didn't do anything.

Were my questions as I stared at the ceiling until exhaustion claimed me towards the lands of dreams.

The next day was more of the same. I was just following the same thing like a preprogrammed AI, soon came school.

But school was different today, the measly care people showed before was gone, now they were expecting for me to act like normal after everything that happens, I am not even a tiny bit surprised with it, they didn't care after all. But it's wrong of me to point fingers at then like I am some kind of paladin, I don't care about them either.

But the worse was the teachers, if I wasn't so numb and robotic I would probably hate these bastards, somehow being quiet and looking forward wasn't enough, I need to "pay attention" to their worthless class, yes I don't fear to admit that it's worthless, I will exit the school without knowing what a politician does or their increasing number of aides does, I will exit here without knowing how the heck I pay taxes or how to make a bank account. I know more about magmatic rocks than an essential life skill, and they are still shoving that shit like it's the most important thing in the world, a thing that I will literally use for one exam at maximum, and then forget it because I never will use it again.

And while the worthless of school passed through my mind a bit, Wei decided to talk with me.

"Hey man, guess you are still not okay, cool. If you need anything you can ask me. I will give you your space."(Wei).

"...thanks..."(Jin).

School passed fast, at least for me that somehow lost his sense of time, or is at least numb to it. Mother was waiting at the exit, and somehow things were the same until the day of the funeral.

The day started like the others, with mother knocking waking me up, I didn't have any idea the funeral was today so I just did my routine like a robot.

So seeing the clothes I am to put on made me barely stop, but I continued like normal and now I am dressed in a formal get-up. Breakfast was like every day, I forcefully shoved some food down my throat and then went to the car with my mother.

Mom is very quiet today, I guess this is a sad day for her too. It took some hours to reach the correct place, but my mother drove in silence, so I stayed silent too.

We reached the place, a cemetery where the funeral will take place. there was a grim feeling to the general atmosphere and said atmosphere only god worse because everyone was wearing black. It only made everything look worse, don't get me wrong black is one of my favorite colors, but it only made things here feel grim.

But the worse of all was the people, vultures the bunch of them. I've never seen any one of these so-called family in my almost 9 years of life. And then my father is dead and suddenly I know every aunt uncle and cousin of both families, fucking vultures.

I wouldn't pay so much attention to it if they were genuinely sad, but everything I was able to notice was fake, for them, this was just another event that they will forget next week, for them it's just another way to maintain their image.

I didn't pay much attention to all the worthless things people said about my father, I just wanted this funeral to end, seeing my father's face again brought to me some painful memories. I just want this to end, please.

It did end. Wei was there but he briefly greeted me as he was pretty down himself, there is nothing worse than a funeral to worse everyone's mood. Mother didn't want to talk, she was just quiet...

She stayed quiet in our return trip home too, I guess the day was shit for both of us, I think it was a mistake coming there, but at least we got some closure?

I would spend the next two months of my life in the same manner, doing everything like a robot, I literally didn't sense time passing I was just living.

I was on a cycle of sadness and depression, a cycle that I couldn't get out of, I literally lost two months of my life, and I don't know what to do, I would just lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. My mind psychologically distorted and cracked beyond repair, will I be able to go back to normal?

I've lost a lot of weight because I haven't been eating properly, you can even see some of my ribs thought my skin, it was strange, but the food didn't really have any taste to me anymore. So I didn't care.

The school was school, I don't have anything against the institution per see, but I certainly hate the people that work on it. I had "tests", yeah even someone in my condition had to deal with the shitty tests. Yes, you heard it right, even someone with a crippling depression had to do a damm test.

As it was expected it was shit for me, I flopped on most of the tests which should've been easy for a reincarnated person, but my mind was too out of it, somehow the teachers made my situation worse.

"...you are not gonna make it..."

"... you aren't good enough..."

"...there are literally one million people that can do the same stuff..."

These were just some of the mild comments I was able to hear and piece together, at this point I was closer to dead than alive.

But everything changed one day. This day the flies were particularly noisy, I don't know what happened but for some reason or the other, the flies were noisy and flying all around me. I ignored them like always, they always tried to be bothersome but I always ignore them, I know I must sound like a hypocrite, but I at least don't pretend to care about other people, I sincerely don't care and I am truthfully and forward about it.

I was in the corridor going towards the exit. Another day had finished in school, and I learned about nothing? I sincerely don't know why I still bother going here. But when I was getting closer to the exit, a bunch of schoolgirls blocked my path.

I looked at them with my sunken face, and soulless stare aimed at them. They didn't even flinch. As the always bothersome flies that have been tormenting me they are already relatively used to it.

"Oh look at the weirdo, trying to scare us with that look."(Girl Leader).

"He thinks he is scary. What a joke?"(Girl mob).

"He looks soo ugly with those full black pupils of his."(Girl mob2).

"He looks cute tho..."(Girl mob3)

That comment was made in a very low voice and was widely ignored by the other members of the gang that is blocking my path.

"Where is my money weirdo?"(Girl leader).

"...?..."(Jin).

I just look at her like she is an idiot, I never brought money to the school because I never needed it. But somehow she is convinced that I have lots of money...

"The protection fee freak, we protected your whimp self, now I want my payment."(Girl Leader).

"Yeah, we want our money."(Girl mob).

"Give, give."(Girl mob2).

"You could pay me with a date..."(Gril mob3).

Ignoring that shotacon comment I just stared impassively at them, this is nothing new these flies always tried to walk over me when I started to become depressive. And like the rest of the garbage humans around me, they were trying to profit from my mystery too.

My lack of response may have elicited quite the rage on the girl leader's face, she appears to be pissed. Why? I should be the one pissed here, no? but I can't feel anything, just some mild annoyance at these flies.

"Me and you, outside. I will fucking beat you up. Freak."(Girl Leader).

"Wow, Fight. Fight!"(Girl mob).

"The Freak will finally get what he fucking deserves."(Girl mob2)

"Just avoid the face... it would be such a waste..."(Girl mob3).

While the highschool girls gang went to the school exit and unexpected/expected spectator arrived wanting to talk to me, it was Wei.

"Jin... I want to talk with you..."(Wei).

"I know I said I will give you some space... But dude, come on, it has been two months. And you are letting that bunch of bimbos walk all over you, were is the Jin that I know? that Jin that would make jokes, the Jin that would always like to play sports... I want my friend back! I know that your dad dying has hurt you, I can't even imagine how much pain you have been through. But please, I want my friend back."(Wei).

"...things change..."(Jin).

"NO! GIVE MY FRIEND BACK!"(Wei).

With a shout that echoed through the exit, Wei did something that I never believed that he would. He punched me in the face. Hard.

Pain.

Betrayal.

Sadness.

Disappointed with me.

At that moment if anyone was paying attention to my eyes they would've been able to tell something extraordinary happened, they became red with a single tomoe in it, but mystically the tomoe started to spin making a cycle, it hypnotically spun and spun. Until a change happened, the lone tomoe was not so alone anymore, now both red eyes spotted Two tomoe.

Blackout.

My mind wandered, thoughts and more thoughts passed through it, both good and bad. Some moments with my dad, overlapping with my previous life. The guilty of not being able to do anything to help, of not being able to do anything. I was lost...

Until the psychedelic trip stopped, I was in the car again. The exact last moment I had to talk with my dad, he was smiling. But he looks at me with an unreadable expression. You could see the radio was playing Kansas - Carry on My Wayward Son. Looking at me dad says:

"Carry On My Wayward Son... don't cry no more... You have a life to live, don't be concerned with me. I am merely on my next great adventure... Ah, and be sure to take care of your mother for me."(Dad).

With that, he dissipated and I opened my eyes. I Look at my friend, I see a concerned and guilty face, I simply smile at him and say:

"Don't worry friend. You don't even know how much you helped me with that punch..."(Jin).

"Finally, you don't know how much..."(Wei).

I punched him on the face back, it wasn't a strong punch by any means, but it likely has hurt Wei a bit.

"But don't think for a moment that I wouldn't punch you back."(Jin).

I gotta say, I have never seen someone so happy to be punched in my entire life. But I am happy to, I was able to somehow exit my depression cycle thanks to that punch. I wouldn't ever be the same, I was broken and distorted thanks to a multitude of factors, but after what my father said... I need to get my shit together.

"Let's go show that bunch of bimbos why they shouldn't mess with the quiet kid."(Jin).

Wei seems to be still a bit disoriented from my punch, but the mad lad got back up nonetheless and started following me. During our walk outside the school, he said to me:

"I missed you friend..."(Wei).

"I was a bad friend, sorry, you helped me and I am very thankful for that, but don't come to me with that sappy stuff. We are brothers from now on..."(Jin).

"Yeah, brothers... Don't worry about the fight I got your back. Do you want me to start with a flying kick or a superman punch?"(Wei).

"Let me deal with it alone Brother. I need to punch something after losing two months of my life..."(Jin).

"Well, shit. but if I see you are in trouble I am jumping in."(Wei).

"Ok. But I won't need it. "(Jin).

At that moment Wei could swear he has seen some yellow and purple light smoke exit his friend's mouth, but after he blinked it wasn't there anymore. He just attributed the strange event to a trick of the lights or some delusion due to the punch he received not too long ago.

I wasn't suddenly rid of my depression by any means, the best way to describe what happened would be that I was literally "punched out of my funk", so I still have the same feelings, but the punch and the strange vision I had with my dead father helped me move on from my previous state, I am not miraculously cured nor I will ever be, but I guess punching some people is gonna make me feel better.

We exited the school pretty easily, mother wasn't here yet. It wasn't difficult to see where the bimbos were waiting for me, there was a fucking audience forming a ring/circle for us to "fight", and as the bimbo is a good 4 years older than me, they probably think she will just beat me up. This would totally be true if I was a normal run of the mill 8 to 9 years old. But I am not.

Entering the Circle the Audience starts to murmur excitedly, this is literally the most interesting thing that happened in the school in these months so I am not that surprised that most of them are here.

"The Freak is here. Someone is very courageous today."(Girl Leader).

"Do you have my money freak? If not, prepare to lose some teeth."(Girl Leader).

The other mobs that normally follow their leader were there looking as menacing as possible, the most some 12 years old can look. I just put my backpack on the ground and stretched my arms and legs for a bit, my huge disregard for the leader made her notably angry.

"You piece of shit, are you ignoring me?"(Girl Leader).

"Yes."(Jin)

My response surprised te bimbo, she didn't expect me to react, for her I was always a dead kid walking around the school, the freak as she calls it, so it was not a surprise that's he reacted that way.

"The freak knows how to talk-"(Girl Leader).

I did not wait for her to finish, if there is something I know about fighting against normal people is that the one who has the initiative has the advantage, so clenching my fists and gathering my strength I ran to her as fast as I can, using my back, hip, arm, and legs I gathered all the strength I could muster and punched her on the face.

*PAK*

The sound of the punch was relatively loud, no one was expecting for me to attack, much less the resident bimbo. My punch hit her spot on the nose, she cried in surprise and pain when my punch hit her. And she falls to the ground.

Silence, a very awkward silence.

Then my adversary gets up and puts on a fighting stance, which is what I would tell you if she wasn't only a twelve-year-old girl that is hiding her insecurities on some form of bullying. She just started crying in pain on the ground while her nose started bleeding a bit. Her friends really don't know what to do, they just stood there awkwardly not knowing what the hell they should do.

Then one of the students had the foresight to call a teacher, who like the most shitty and convenient plot just reached the scene, and what he sees is a big bad boy hitting a poor little girl.

"What is happening here."(Teacher).

The student that called the teacher explains somewhat the situation to him.

"You, miss Han and mister Yang. To the principal's office now."(Teacher).

"And for the love of god miss Han, please stop by the infirmary first."(Teacher).

My mother of course chooses the perfect time to arrive, the teacher immediately seeing who it was that arrived, immediately went to talk to her.

"Good timing miss Yang, I was gonna call you. Please go with your son to the principal's office, there are some things you should know."(Teacher).

Well, shit. That escalated quickly. My mother seems extremely surprised, for me to do something like this... she isn't so surprised by what happened but more by how the heck I was punching people in my depressed state, but seeing me after punching the girl she looks a bit relieved and happy. Going in the direction of the principal's room mother takes the chance to talk for a bit.

"Thank god you are back son, I didn't know what to do anymore. Not even the psychologist worked... If I know all you ever needed to get better was to punch someone I would have you matriculated in some martial arts classes long ago."(Mom).

"Sorry for everything mom..."(Jin).

"Don't worry we will take more about it at home. Now what is this about punching people, and a girl no less."(Mom).

"I would like to first add that your comment is extremely Sexist and I am a true follower of the dogma of TRUE GENDER EQUALITY, be it a boy, a girl, or any other of those million genders out there. I will punch everyone with my full strength."(Jin).

"Wait what?"(Mom).

"Oh, we arrived."(Jin).

We finally reached the principal's office, and as we took our sweet time to get here both the girl and her dad were already here, the girl now is holding some bandages on her nose, while her dad is shouting something at the principal.

"... What is this that I heard about a man punching my little girl."(Mister Han).

"Now, now calm down mister Han. It was just a squabble among children we-"(Principal).

"NO, I won't calm down, what kind of man hits a delicate woman like that. HE is just a coward and a..."(Mister Han).

"STOP RIGHT THERE. I would like to first add that your comment is extremely Sexist and I am no coward I am simply a follower of the dogma of TRUE GENDER EQUALITY, be it a boy, a girl, or any other of those million genders out there. I will punch everyone with my full strength."(Jin).

"So it was you!"(Mister Han).

"IT was me Jin."(Jin).

"Don't you fucking regret punching a girl. Coward."(Mister Han).

"As I already said. I follow the TRUE GENDER EQUALITY, no discrimination, and no sexism. And I never regret a punch I made, because when I punch someone I made sure that I am certain of it."(Jin).

"You Little shit..."(Mister Han).

"Now mister Han calm down, we are all civilized people..."(Principal).

My mother looks very pissed but she has a lot of auto control. After that, I basically retold what happened from my perspective, how I always ignored and didn't care about the girls, etc. The broken nosed girl always twitched when I compared her and her gang to annoying flies it was honestly funt o see it. Her father didn't stop raging for everything, but he said something that pissed my mom off...

"Don't you have a fucking father to teach you how to treat a lady?"(Mister Han).

You could almost hear the sweat dripping from the principal's face when he heard what the asshole said, my mood instantly plummeted, and my mother was very pissed.

"Hey sweetie, why don't you and little miss Han go outside for a bit. Mother has some word she wishes to say to this... thing here."(Mom).

"...okay."(Jin).

You could see some of the previous gloominess returning to my voice. But I and the girl exited the principal's room and left then to talk for a bit. When my quickly recovered mood had worsened quite a bit after the asshole comment. Bastard. But when I was thinking, the girl resolved to say something.

"You were very cool there you know."(Girl).

"???"(Jin).

My confusion must've been shown on my face because she immediately replied.

"I never talked back to my dad like you did, I was always his princess so I thought maybe I could show him something earning some money... sorry for that btw."(Girl).

"Sure I accept your apologies. You indirectly helped me a lot."(Jin).

"Okay... won't you reprehend me or something?"(Girl).

"Why would I do that?"(Jin).

"Because I was bullying money out of you, duh."(Girl).

"Yeah you got it right, you were trying to get something from ME."(Jin).

"So it isn't the same as what I said?"(Girl).

"No, it isn't. I don't fucking care if you steal the national bank or something, heck you could die in a ditch for all I care. But if you mess with me or my family you are getting punched."(Jin).

"Wait... So if I had tried to get money from anyone that wasn't you or your friend you wouldn't care?"(Girl).

"Yeah, you got the gist of it"(Jin).

"Wait shouldn't a boy want to be a hero or something?"(Girl).

"Nah, just the more idiots. Heroes are a bunch of hypocritical fools."(Jin).

"Isn't hypocritical of you saying something like this after beating the big bad bully?"(Girl).

"Nah, I am self-aware enough to know how much of a garbage human being I am, I don't try to constantly pass a good 'image' of me."(Jin).

"Huh, the freak is pretty cool. Who would've known?"(Girl).

"Do you want another punch?... My name is Yang Jin."(Jin).

"Oh. I am Han Yue."(Yue).

At this time my mother exited the office, she seems to have a sinister smile on her face. She looks at both of us and is fairly happy about seeing us talking normally.

"Oh... My boy is such ladies man..."(Mom).

Yue seems to blush at the tough. Fuck you girl I just punched you, why the heck are you blushing? are you a masochist or something?

"Well, while the lovebirds were talking, I resolved the situation with the principal. Both of you are suspended for three days."(Mom).

"What? I punch someone in the face and I am rewarded. If I knew about this I would've gone around punching all that arrogant teacher's faces."(Jin).

"Yeah, why reward us? shouldn't we be punished or something?"(Yue).

"*sigh*"(Mom).

At this moment Yue's father exits the room, he looks very subdued and afraid. He keeps giving fearful glances towards my mother. And is that whimpering I hear from the principal's office? must be my imagination. Yue's father looks at her and says:

"L-Little P-princess, let's go home. I will explain more details on the way."(Yue's Dad).

Both of them walk to the exit a little faster than a normal walk, Yue trying to follow her father's fast footsteps, she looks back at me and waves a little.

"Now son, let's go back home."(Mom)

"Sure."(Jin).

Then we walked in the direction of the car prepared to go home.

"Has everyone forgotten about me?"(Wei).
