She wakes up after having difficulty sleeping yesterday, thoughts kept getting in her head, why did what ever that had those strings take her soul? Why cant she feel anything? Is she even alive? What if she's dead and this is what the afterlife is like. What if.. you get the point, normaly she has a dream every night, this one though, nothing, just sleep, Cindy has no idea how this works still, having no soul or feelings is hard to deal with, she thinks too much and too well, but she can just stop it, no effort at all. She gets out of bed, it doesnt feel like she even slept, but it doesnt feel like she needs to sleep anymore. But she knows better, she will be sleeping everyday becouse her body needs it, she goes over to her desk and looks at the time, 6:45am. Perfect time to wake up, she goes and has a shower but finds herself spacing out very often, she concluded it was becouse of the sound, sound of the water hitting her and the floor of the shower, but thats a good thing, she spaced out thinking of ways to act. Ways to trick others into thinking she is normal, or atleast some form of the "normal" she was. She couldnt think of much unfortunetly.
After that shower she went downstairs and had breakfest, acting as normal as possible, but there was one flaw in her act, she was very disintrested in her little sister, normaly Annie always talked to Cindy in the morning and Cindy was all excited about what she said, oh it was the best part of Annie's day. But today? Cindy seemed disintrested, maybe even mad at her. Annie didnt feel so good that day, it was a very hard day.
Cindy's day was just starting though, she packed up for school after eating, avoiding her mother as she left, she ran and ran untill she was infront of the school, she knew people world notice somthing was wrong with her, she didnt look normal, she looked to be overlayed with a grayscale filter. So she had to make up a reason for her being like that before going in, she didnt have time to expand on that thought becouse someone bumped into her as they passed by saying "Get out of my way dumbass", it was a girl named Luna, she thinks that was a oddly weak insult. Cindy had a crush on her for awhile even if she was the main bully of the school, but now she felt nothing for her, honestly Cindy could understand why she liked Luna but the more she thought about the less it made sence to be 'nice' to her and like her at all, so she wont anymore, but class is starting and she cant stand outside school spacing out in thoughts like that untill she's late. So she went to class and got there exactly on time.
not saying one single word she sat down and sat thro the class thinking even more, but yet still taking notes on the lesson, it wasnt even difficult for her to do this, it felt natural, but there was one thing bothering her, time was consistant, she couldnt be entertained by it or bored so time didnt feel nither or fast or slow. It was unconfortable, Cindy disliked it so much, she heard the clock that was ironicly taped to the wall tic over and over, "Tic.. Tac.. Tic.. Tac.. Tic.. Tac..", it made her so uncomfortable that she wanted to leave the room. But then the bell rings, three classes had gone by already!! Cindy didnt even notice dispite her writing down notes on the classes the whole time, she knew her body needed food becouse of the sounds of her stomach, this was a good time for the bell to ring.
Cindy went to the cafateria and grabbed herself a foodtry and some food, she looked around the room and finds her friends at a table talking to each other, she decides to sit there dispite not really being like herself anymore. Her friends at first didnt notice anything, Cindy being quiet was quite abnormal though so it was just a matter of time untill someone noticed. And so evidently one of them does, a girl named Sage, she asked "Hey Sin, Cat got yar tounge huh? Or are you just mad at us taday?", Sage normaly didnt talk unless talked to, it was weird for her to even start a conversation, so Sin had to respond. "Hum?.. no, not mad, just not in the mood for talking today." Sin's voise was defensive and monotone, clearly something was wrong. "..Right. come on, spill it out. If you dont want to talk about it then say so, otherwise tell me, whats going on?.." but Cindy didnt apriciate this approch at all, since all she could do was thinking, she over thought everything without noticing, riled herself up for no reason. "I dont want to talk about it. Not to you. And not to anyone. Could you maybe try not to interact with me today? Just. Just today." Her friends felt bad by her responce but agreed with some negociation to not talk directly to her today but still talk to each other around her.
They exited lunch and Sin had to sit thro another class, math. The most boring of all the classes, not becouse she disliked math. Becouse she knew it so well that school level math just made her even more disintrested, the clock kept ticking. She left class and again, that girl Luna was next to her locker ready to bully poor Cindy.
Cindy walked up to the locker and before she had the chance to taunt her she opend her locker covering her face with the locker door. The girl stepped aside and grabbed Cindy's shirt's collar in the classic threatening way. "H- HEY! YOU BITCH, WHATS THE DEAL WITH YOU? FINNALY GOT THE CURAGE TO STAND UP TO ME?" Cindy slightly growled being annoyed by her, she muttered "Let go of my clothes Luna.." it was barely hearable so Luna snapped back "WHAT DID YOU SAY IDIOT?" But ofcourse Cindy was not having any of it and grabbed Luna's hand, with a swift movement she put pressure on a specific part of her hand hurting it, Luna stopped holding her. "ARGH!! WHATS YOUR P- PROBELM TODAY??" Luna was mad but calmed doen slightly when she saw it was just Cindy, she snatched the book that she came to get from Cindy's hand holding up so Cindy couldnt get it. "HEHE! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?~" She was just looking for abit of fun with her favorite victem but Cindy wasnt pacient enough to just do it. she just wanted to go and finish this day. Find her soul and get back to normal. "..Luna let me go. Im not going to do this today, or ever again. I know you like pretending youre the 'big bad' and that Im just a defenceless idiot but Im done with this." She sounded so serious, and her voice being monotone made her actually scared, Luna gave Cindy her book back and with a annoyed tone apologized and told her she wouldnt bother her for the day, Cindy was abit confused though, why would luna, the girl that picked on herher whole life give up so easily? Was this all she had to do? Cindy took a liking to Luna over time, Luna just seemed to always leave embarased and mad at Cindy after awhile of arguing so she guessed nothing's changed about her, but they both knew they loved argueing together. Well not anymore. Now it was just a nusince to Cindy, Cindy got what she needed and left for the rest of the classes, just three to go.
After that nothing much happoned except a fight between two studants Nova Spirit and Sakura Cinder, but it isnt worth talking about. Cindy got back home, not even bothering to switch into new clothes, got her notebook and went back to that tree, she sat there for awhile. Thinking about all she could, trying to figure out how to act effortlessly and some form of a solution for this whole soulless ordeal.
