To School

....

"Have a good day at school, kiiiids!~" Your mother shouts out at the four of you with a sweet voice as you all wave back.

You're in-between Amelia and Sarah while Keiko is in front walking a few steps ahead. She is energetic as her feet skip and jump now and then.

It's a calm morning, you only wish your mind was the same.

"It's still a little cold isn't it?" Amelia comments as she pulls her blazer collar closer together.

"It is!" Keiko spins around.

"Do you like the cold, Keiko?" Amelia says to her.

"It's alright. I like it when its warmer out so I can go jogging without getting a cold."

You butt into the conversation. "The best thing about the winter is the scenery."

"Oh! I like that too." Keiko says and points to you with a smile.

Amelia rolls her eyes at you. "We weren't talking about winter."

"Well winter is cold." You retort as you look to her.

"Yeah and so is fall, idiot." Amelia gives you an annoyed look.

You just squint down at her.

Keiko snickers loudly. "Hahahhh!~ Jun is getting bullied by Amelia again~."

Your tongue clicks and you give the quiet Sarah your school bag. She catches it clumsily not expecting it.

"Hey! Quit it with that! It's annoying!" You say and run after Keiko who takes off running ahead seeing you pick up the pace. "HEY!!" You give one last shout as you chase her.

"Gosh, those two...." Amelia says and glances at Sarah.

Sarah looks to Amelia and makes brief eye contact before looking away.

"What?....You're a lot quieter than usual." Amelia says and lifts her small book bag over her shoulder.

"Huh? O-Oh! Hahahaha!~ Just deep in thought! Don't worry about me~!" Sarah says and feigns a laugh.

"....." Amelia audibly sighs. "I can tell you're dealing with a lot of stuff. If you actually want to be friends or something you should share it so if we can....w-we....umm....so we can help you." After saying this Amelia looks away with a pouting look trying to not act soft in any way.

Sarah tightens her hold onto your bag. "I'm all good!~ You shouldn't worry about me. AND! The stuff you've done already have been superrr~ helpful and stuff ya'know? Liiiiike~ thank you sooo much! I appreciate all the ummm hospitality. Yeaah~." Sarah then finger gun points to Amelia with one finger.

Amelia looks away from Sarah cringing at her a little and shakes her head.

You and Keiko have your hands interlocked into a tight hold as you two push against each other. A contest of strength. You smirk to Keiko as she grits her teeth with a red face trying to fight against you. Like an unmovable wall you maintain the hold not letting anything she do move you.

"Jun! You!- GRRRAGHHH!!! I swear! I'll tackle you!!!" Keiko screams out still struggling.

"Tackle me? You gotta get to me first!" You smirk with a whole lotta smug back at her before you feel a kick at your shin. You look to your side and see Amelia there with an annoyed look on her face.

"Hrmph! Stop acting stupid! You're going to make us look like idiots, and at that point I won't want to walk with you."

Amelia flips her hair and continues on walking. You suddenly stop the pushing with Keiko moving your arms outward and undoing your fingers from hers. Not expecting it she stumbles forward into you and her face hits your chest. Her arms go around to your side. You weren't even paying attention to her with your eyes looking off to Amelia walking away.

"Oomph!!" Keiko freezes for a second with her forehead up against you. You look down at her expecting her to move....but then she fully hugs you before she rubs her face into your uniform....

"What are you?-"

Your words get cut off when Keiko puts a finger to her lips and blushes slightly. Her brows furrow and then looks away as if she would get mad if you said anything. You just look at her with another smug look understanding quite well what the situation was.

"....you....uh, smell good." She's the kind of girl to sniff, wear and steal her boyfriend's clothes huh?

You shake your head and turn around to continue on walking. Keiko quickly follows after with a smile. "Hey! Anyone wanna play Eye Spy!? Eye Spy a black car!...."
