Drowning me saving me

Rika's pov:

Hi I'm rika shizurue I've live in Japan since my birth a pure Japanese, my father left us when I'm still a kid, a kid that can't do anything to help my mother that are in agony since that day, I'm currently a highschool student now I'm 17 years old to be precise, and I have a playgirl attitude towards the boys in our class they think that I'm a typical high school girl but when I get home everything changes to grey, as I opened the door I smell the delicious curry my mom's specialty I smiled at her and said~

Rika: mom I'm home is the dinner ready I can't wait to taste the delicious curry of my beloved mother.

My mom smiled then gently said, yes the dinner is ready but after that you should take a bath first to enjoy it more then she smiled like she's happy.

I entered my room and put my bag at the usual place then just like my mom told me I should take a bath first after I eat my dinner, I take a bath i change my clothes dry my hair and fix it I smiled in front of the mirror...

Rika's mom: rika are you not done yet?

Mom just a moment mom okay, i replied to her with a smile

I opened the door and headed to the dining table and my mom smiled at me I pay her back with a smile too

Rika: um.... Your cooking will always be the best in the world mom your curry is always the best... She's so happy to hear that she replied at me with a gentle tone of her voice

You keep praising your mom everyday your my daughter and I'll make you happy while I'm still alive suddenly her voice and her smile changes into something that i hate she's sad again i hate it

After hearing that yes I'm so sad my tears suddenly falling I cried my mom notice it and said rika pls don't be sad I'll ask our relative to take care of you I'll give them enough money to make you attend college so do your best for your mother.... I'm emotionally tired of thinking that my mother will soon leave me... But there's nothing I can do if god decided too take away the only person that i love for the rest of my life. We watch movie till 9:00p.m and sleep but before that we exchange goodnigth my mother still treat me like a kid kissing me on the forehead but its still the best sleep therapy for me as my eyes slowly closing and I suddenly fell asleep.

The next day:

I can see the orange yellow kiss color of the sky and feel the humid climate of the area i stretch my arms then I got up I pick my towel and toothbrush and fix myself, I saw my mom preparing breakfast and my lunchbox nothing is more than beautiful than a mom whose preparing for her children's food, I take a bath and fix myself school days so school uniform is the norm, mom I'm done I said to her she smiled then replied

Rika's mom: eat your breakfast now it's still hot it will make you feel good in this cold weather your lunchbox is here I have to prepare our daily food so I'll go to the supermarket now make sure to lock the door after leaving the house.

After I finish my breakfast I put the lunchbox inside of my bag then I put my bag on the table I pick my toothbrush then brush my teeth I wash my face and wipe it I have to make sure it's clean and look representable in front of my classmates and schoolmates I close and lock the door and I walk pass the streets the school is not too far to reach by walking its my daily routine to keep my body slim I'm annoyed of the people around me they look so happy I feel so lonely then suddenly someone push me I'm scared to death woo my classmate shook me her name is hitoha nomura a joyful type of a student.

Hitoha: hey rika still moody as usual huh?

She laugh at me even though we aren't close enough she's so kind but sometimes she's annoying such joyful person she is.

Hitoha: did you heard the rumours about the b-2 class student kaito zen?

Eh? Rumours are rumours I don't care about it at all I rudely replied to her.

She laugh gently well that guy is my crush so I'm sorry I just feel so sad that he died...

My heart suddenly skip a beat and I feel the lonely atmosphere again whats wrong with her??

Then she smiled at me then wave her hand while walking fastly saying 'goodbye to me is she crying that's just a rumour or maybe she's joking well nevermind I suddenly change my moodand my attitude when I see students from my school I don't want a gloomy highschool life to experience after all I want to be happy just like my mom told me. an A-1 student confessh to me his name is keinu shiyuro he confess to me he is tall and handsome and obviously smart too he is too good for me he probably don't even know my true attitude I like his hair style and the color of his hair those eyelashes and pinky lips and that sparkling dark blue eyes he said

Keinu: um...i.have something to tell you rika, i love you can you please go out with me...

He is so embarrassed to say it with a noticeable shyness on his face but he doesn't bow his head down maybe to keep his coolness he scratch his head while saying it I replied to him

Rika: hmmm? What made you think that I will accept your request huh? Just like usual I don't reject them directly i test them before dating them so I can observe their possessiveness towards the girl they love. He just smiled at me then gently walk in front of me and whispered to my ears

I don't expect you to accept it I just want you to know that I love you that's all he put his head on my shoulder I feel he's sad but it's possible that he is just acting...

Rika: listen firstly you're handsome so you can find a girl easily and don't take love so lightly it's not a game to play just for fun.

I said to him I can feel his crying but why that's weird he gently lift his head and look at me his serious eyes are killing me he turn his back then wave his hand while walking away he stop and said I'll make you say yes someday well even you reject me now we'll meet again we study at the same school so we'll surely meet again then he walk away just like that I laugh and laugh make me say yes haha well come and try after the classes end I headed to the nearest supermarket to buy some art supplies our teacher told us to draw something that has a meaning we should create it with a group of 2 I've been partnered with a guy that I don't even notice that he's in our class he always read books and giving off otaku vibes and a sudden confession make my day worser well forget it it's good for him to totally give up, when I finish buying the supplies I headed to my home and entered my room i sit on the chair and opened my computer I pick up my headphones and listen to some chilly songs suddenly my phone is ringing my friend called me at the middle of the nigth where my mood is to relax I answered it

Me: hello what's up calling at the middle of the nigth

Friend: well can we hang out it's weekend tommorow so maybe it's not a problem

Me:well okay Im not busy so maybe I should enjoy the weekend

I opened the door and called my mom, mom? My mom answered

Mom: hmm? What? Can't wait for the dinner I'm still preparing it

Well I'm gonna go out mom just for a little bit it's still early I'll go back after 8:00pm is it okay mom

My mom replied of course enjoy your life to the fullest but don't forget to wear jacket it's cold outside

I answered yes mom then I wore my winter jacket and opened the door woah I can feel the winter in the middle of the month. My friend and I enjoyed playing at the arcades and enjoy the view of tokyo after that I headed home alone my friend's house is a little far away from my house she want to escort me until I reach my house but I said to her that it's okay I can handle myself and smiled at her then see you next time... I opened the door of the house I saw my mom watching TV I'm home she look at me with a smile on her face and gently said welcome home the dinner is already ready after I eat my dinner I headed to my room and change my clothes and I fell asleep I'm too tired I want to sleep already...
