-------------------------------13 floors------------------------------------------------------Chapter 3: New friends------------------------- The next morning when I woke up I had almost stepped on Suki. Startled I stepped aside and went to brush, and get my clothes on. But as I went into the kitchen suki came in and said "Good morning Namora" She looked around and said "sorry for staying at your place and by the way, there's an old torn book on your table why do you need that?" "Good morning suki! That book has been passed in my family for about 4 generations and goes to the oldest child each person that receives it writes something about themselves and how it was like to be alive at the time." Suki nodded she was still tired, I was dressed in a sort of uniform. Then she noticed and said, " what's up with the fancy clothing?" I looked down at myself " Oh I have to go to my college it's a 15-20 minute bicycle ride." She was shocked and said " you don't have a job yet?" I nodded " Yeah I don't I mean I go sometimes to a restaurant nearby and work there at times." She smiled "what are you studying?" I grabbed cereal and said, " Oh medical stuff I wanna be a doctor so I can take care of my youngest sister and the rest of my family." She took her fingers and combed her hair with them and replied " What about your parents can't they do something about this situation?" Suddenly anger grew in me, what did she know about my father and mother though So I let it slide so I said, "mhm yeah what about your parents you don't talk about them too much." A little shocked she muttered " They..." I couldn't hear the rest. I now had everything ready and said, "well I gotta go ill see you later bye." She was now heading toward her home as she had left the apartment when I was leaving. I saw them 2 no 3 same kimonos. They all had identical makeup and outfits. White flour faces and gold eyeshadow, and bright pop red lipstick i. one had dark blue tips I could see them peeking through her bun. I blinked and she was staring right at me. She turned around this time there was no blue hair I must be seeing things I thought to myself. I had soon reached my school first day I was nervous, I walked along the walls counting the blocks. Suddenly I bumped into someone ugh typical me I thought "I'm sorry." She didn't even extend her hand she said then " Don't wait for me to help you get up." she had black hair with her tips either dyed orange or were somehow naturally like that she wore a dress but even so, Her voice felt like a blade made of ice stabbing me, I got up and she said, " Hi I'm Cleo you must not like me very much but I'm your *Ahem* your study buddy they showed me I had to find you they showed me your picture and here you are." But I ignored her, no I thought to myself she was right It was my fault for falling down and not paying attention, Why did she think I didn't like her I knew why she said what she said. I had then decided to say " Oh so then hi Cleo I'm Namora," that's when the boy next to her said " Cleo be nicer," I smiled but he continued "Or else I think she might cry and call for mom." WHAT, ME CRYING JUST WHO DO THEY THINK I AM A 5-YEAR-OLD. I grabbed the boy's collar, He was about my height I couldn't stop myself my eyes were cold as the ice they were bold and sharp I hadn't been like that in a very long time. I said then "LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE WORM YOU DONT GET TO INSULT ME LIKE THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME," everyone had gathered around, Cleo just stared at me. My heart was pounding but I had done the right thing he apologized in terror and ran away. Cleo then did something I didn't expect and smiled and said "Nice to meet you study buddy Namora." I was so confused about what had happened just now whatever it was felt good. I walked through the halls to get to my classes a lot of people started fearing me I didn't care though why did it matter to me. Then a girl walked in and said "You're not really mean are you that kid said something that provoked you didn't it?" Shocked I said, " How did you know, and I'm gonna be honest here you look like a kid that doesn't have a care in this world." She laughed and said, "well I do care a lot I just don't as you would say dress like it!" She wore a crop top a cap and a pair of jeans, her earrings were huge and Her hair was brown I could tell she was fully Japanese. That's when she said, " you live in the apartments across my house," How did she know that? Later we walked home together she lived one-third a mile away but our building was tall enough to see from her place. When I arrived at my home I did my homework and watched some TV I read some manga and went to make dinner. Today was so boring I thought I needed a roomy that was for sure! But who would wanna be my roomy though? Later that afternoon Taiyo dropped by and said hi so did Suki. I was exhausted but I told none of them what happened today.But later today, when I went to walk something, was strange.
