In school

The whole ride in the car was uncomfortable but not as much as as it was to step out of the safety of the car in that cold morning in front of sako's school.

People stared and turned their heads as sako walked across the schoolgrounds with nothing but her towel while following her mom.

Sako's mom walked at a fast pace and went straight to the school store without paying any attention to how many people she and sako passed by and stared.
