some broken things

Verina Arts Academy
6:20 AM
Monday
Here at Verina Arts Academy, it's mandatory to attend the Monday Morning Assembly.
It's not anything special.
°°°not really boring either°°°
I'm still in the car.
We reach the Academy in time.
I get out of the car.
Yanna gets off too.
We share a car everyday.
"Hey, it's them, the Viria Sisters"
And as always the whispers.
"Gosh, they're so tall"
"I know right, they should really be models"
"Man, I see them get out of that car every day, but my eyes never get used to it"
"I can't believe they're sisters though"
"Right? Talk about polar opposites"
I sigh.
I walk faster.
But Yanna walks fast too.
Yanna
Yanna
Hey, let's head for the Auditorium together.
We're not even in the same class.
Keisha
Keisha
It's fine. We're not in the same class. We'll part ways here.
I walk faster and head for the auditorium.
I hear her call for me but I don't look back.
40 Minutes Later
I head for our classroom.
I take my seat, fourth column, fifth row.
I don't really have friends.
I can talk to anyone. I'm confident enough.
But friends ...
Feels troublesome.
Monday Assembly starts at 6:30, but the rest of the weekdays officially starts at 7:15 AM.
7:15 - 7:45 AM = Homeroom with Mrs. Selma, the homeroom teacher.
I'm in my Junior Year ~ Class 11/C
Yanna is in Class 11/A
Mrs. Selma comes in and finally starts the day.
At lunch time, I decide to visit the newly renovated Café at Morgann Street a few blocks from the academy.
Easily a 10 minute walk from the Academy.
We have 40 minutes of Lunch Break and 30 minutes of Study Hall.
I don't use the study hall, I study at home.
I enter the Luna Café, and instantly regret it.
Yanna waves from one of the tables upfront.
Yanna
Yanna
Keisha!
I turn back and walk out the door but I my bag pulls me in.
Yanna
Yanna
Hey, you ditched me this morning, won't you have lunch with me?
I see her hand gripping the belly of my bag pack.
I sigh.
She takes me to her seat.
Yanna
Yanna
My treat!
Keisha
Keisha
You... Don't have to do this...
Keisha
Keisha
If she finds out–
Yanna
Yanna
Oh c'mon, it's just lunch between sisters. What's so bad about that?
She doesn't really understand.
°°°everything°°°
We finish lunch, she always talks a lot.
°°°it's not really bothersome°°°
Yanna
Yanna
We should head back now, ughhh
She stretches.
Yanna
Yanna
Their food is sooo amazing!
Yanna
Yanna
I'll definitely come back again!
°°°i probably won't°°°
She bumps me on the arm playfully.
Yanna
Yanna
You better too.
I nod.
°°°not a chance°°°
She walks next to me, but stops.
She jumps and turns to me.
Yanna
Yanna
Hey, do you hate me?
I look at her stunned.
°°°do I hate her?°°°
°°°do I?°°°
Keisha
Keisha
No.
She sighs.
°°° i don't think so°°°
She beams.
Yanna
Yanna
Good! I believe you!
We go back to the Academy.
The rest of the day goes by normally.
After class, I meet up with Yanna in front of the school to wait for our driver.
°°°ahhh...the bookstore°°°
The driver shows up and Yanna merrily gets inside.
I lean on the window and inform the driver.
Keisha
Keisha
I'll be walking home again today.
Yanna
Yanna
Ehhh??
Keisha
Keisha
I need to stop by somewhere.
Yanna
Yanna
Oh? Then can I come?
She pleads.
Keisha
Keisha
No.
I shut the car door before she could get out and patted the hood.
Yanna
Yanna
Ehhh!? Wait!!
I wave as the car drives away.
I leave and walk the same street after school everyday.
I reach the bookstore.
From the glass window, I see several people inside.
I sit on the bench outside and wait for the store to empty out.
It's not a tiny store, nor is it big.
People come and go.
Once I see fewer people inside, I decide to go in.
Zayn
Zayn
Hey, you.
I reach for the knob but someone beats me to it.
I look up to the person behind me.
°°°so warm°°°
Zayn
Zayn
Hey, I was calling for you.
He grins.
Zayn
Zayn
Remember me?
