y/n: you guys go on ahead, i didn’t really understand the last topic so i'm gonna revise it now

you flash your friends a small apologetic smile waving back to them as they leave, taking their laughter and chatter with them. now it was just you, as usual. you were always the last one in the classroom at any given day of the week, and you hated it. you were too used to turning people down but deep down you wanted to hit the mall too, you wanted to go swimming together too, you wanted to go over for a sleepover too but you always ended up refusing. you couldn’t understand how girls will be A* students but at the same time pretty, cute, popular, the whole package and you couldn’t deny the envy clawing at your back but every time you would smile, wave and go back to your studies. you hated school—no, you hated exams, your grades, and how they never seem to get better no matter how hard you work. now you only had the rest of today to prepare for your last exam tomorrow and the fear of failure once again separated you from your friends.

you clear your head and look down at your paper, wondering where to start. you honestly never really had a proper revision method and had no clue how to come up with one either. with a heavy sigh you lift your pencil to the page and press it into the lines answering question after question from the textbook but after just five questions you find yourself losing focus again. the white curtain carries into the classroom on the breeze flowing in through the window ajar beside your desk, overlooking the school exit gates. students laughing, some discussing todays exam, others joking about how they definitely failed but you knew they probably did just fine, sakura blossom petals swirling, trees swaying and your friends, joking and shoving each other as they disappear round the corner. you don't even notice the tears pooling from your eyes until you hear the soft thud of each drop hitting your page, blurring the lead around the lines like a ripple in a lake, you vision blurs with tears and you hunch over, shutting your eyes and allowing the salty pools to gather on your book.

you couldn’t do this anymore. your parents stressed to you how important your education is considering they’re both in manual labour jobs and the weight of their requests, their dreams hangs heavy on your shoulders but you just wanted to live your life too, to go out with friends too, to watch your favourite animes and k-dramas too, to buy cute clothes too, for once without having to put something out of the pile back on the rack. it felt like your life wasn’t your own and you somehow cant think of anything that makes you more miserable. you don't know how long you remain like that wallowing in your sadness and guilt but your sniffles were clearly too loud considering you don’t hear the classroom door slide open, and your best friend talking to you.

emma: girl! y/n!

you lift your head too quickly and there stands your best friend, the same one who you watched leave the school five or so…how long ago did they leave? you meet her gaze and stand abruptly. emma sano, the cute, popular girl with an even cuter, more popular brother and golden locks comparable to rapunzel's, stood there smiling at you gently, a purplish - black ring framing her wide golden left eye.

y/n: e-emma?! your eye-

emma: why are you crying?~

it was always like this with emma, she wouldn't just ignore your state and spill the gossip or whatever else she had to say, she would shove it all back until she was sure you were ok. your feelings were a priority to her, over anything and it makes your heart ache.

y/n: err i just, stressed a bit…the exam tomorrow and all...

emma just hums in agreement, tilting her head a bit still smiling at you as if you were her favourite thing in the world. you feel a slight heat creep up your neck despite her just being your best friend but it was hard not to with the way she was staring at you and speaking with that sweet tone.

emma: i see~ so why are you crying?~

y/n: ...huh?

emma steps closer to you and stops right in front of you, before bringing her hand down smacking you on the back. hard.

y/n: OW-!

emma: idddddiiiiot~ you're literally gonna grind that exam paper girl so i don't know why you’re so worried, you don't deserve to be sat here alone crying when you should be having fun with the rest of us you know, it makes me and the other girlies sad.

you almost tear up again but manage to focus your attention back at the bigger question here as to why your friend's left eye was black.

y/n: ...so what happened to your eye?

emma: ohhh this? I beat naomi up~

y/n: you WHAT-?!

emma bursts out laughing while senju and hina stumble in with toothy grins, hair resembling birds nests and uniforms missing a few buttons. you look between the three of them in utter confusion, these three were loved by everyone in school, naomi included, so why would they suddenly fight the girl?

senju, noticing the obvious confusion on your face: she spoke crap about you, called you poor and other nasty and compleeeeeetely untrue shit, so we put her in her place!

hina: honestly, she thought she could go off running her mouth about you just because you weren’t around, so emma grabbed her shoulder and punched her square in the face!

hina's reaction startles you since shes normally oh so against any form of violence whether it comes from her boyfriend takemichi or from senju and yuzuha so for her to be smiling while talking about this and by the look of things, was involved, has you speechless.

senju: it was so funny!! you shoulda been there to—y/n..?

you couldn’t help it. your tears had escaped your eyes' rim before you could stop them and your gaze drops to the floor. you had pitied yourself so much despite having such amazing friends, you always silently complained that your parents didn't give you enough allowance or didn't buy you a designer bag you wanted when they have literally never told you no, you've just felt too guilty to ask and even dared to doubt your friends at times when they would hang out without you, being bitter toward them despite refusing yourself because you had an assignment to complete and now those same popular friends who could easily befriend anyone they wanted had all pitched in together, gone against their own values to defend you even in your absence, even after you turned them down for the nth time. the three girls stand with semi-shocked, solemn expressions and hina is the first to tug you into a tight hug. you cant do anything but cling to her and ramble between your cries as the salt of your tears hits your tongue.

y/n: i love you guys so much…im so sorry, im sorrryyyy, i always turn you guys down but, im so sorry

senju and emma exchange a smile before turning their attention back to you, senju squeezing herself between you and hina and emma, being the tallest with the longest arms, enveloping all of you with her own hug. hina strokes your hair gently to calm you down and emma your back.

emma: im so sorry y/n, i always thought you turned us down because you didnt wanna hang, but if i knew you were this upset i wouldve dragged you along every time you knowwww~

senju: you really are an idiot ya know, always thinkin’ so much. from now on i'm dragging you everywhere on my bike so you better be ready, and no more assignment bullshit 'kay?

after finally regaining some of your composure, you wipe your tears and let out a long shaky sigh accompanied by a soft yawn causing hina to smile as she steps back and announces.

hina: that confirms it then, sleepover at mine today girls! only fluffy pjs allowed!!

senju: hell yeeassssss! that exam tomorrow can sock it. I bought some new monsters inc ones recently and y'all have gotta see 'em.

emma: ew girl grow up honestly!

senju: never, that cartoon is elite.

y/n: cant deny that..

you find a small smile creeping over your face at your friends antics. you didn't hate school, it was your safe place, it was the place that bought you to meet such kind and loyal friends and it was the place you couldn't deny you enjoyed the most. as senju dragged your bag along with hers out of the classroom refusing to let you carry it yourself and emma and hina flank you, you couldn't help but think that no matter how chaotic, clingy or teasing your friends are, you wouldn’t have it any other way because they were your favourite people, your safe haven.
