I opened my door and looked around.
No one was home.
Perfect! I thought.
Time to have peaceful drawing time!
I took out my art book and started sketching Shojin.
WHAT?!?
Why am I sketching Shojin?!?!?
I threw my art book across the room.
I was shocked.
Was I not paying attention?
I grabbed my book and looked at it.
He looks so... happy, in this picture!
I was smiling.
But that smile soon faded as I heard the front door open.
Ugh!
"Hello?" I called out.
"MIZUKI!!! MIZUKI!!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO I SAW!!!" It was Isabole.
I forgot I gave her the house key.
"Oh, thank God! I thought you were Missy! She's the last person I wanna see! Come sit," Missy's my sister. She is so mudana! (Means: Vain)
Isabole came in the room and sat by me.
"I'm guessing you saw Yuu?" I asked, the boy next door.
"No! I saw Shojin! I asked if he was taken by someone. But..." She frowned and looked away.
"What'd he say?" I didn't care but I have to act like I am.
"He said he was," She glared at me.
"Do you know what he said?"
I didn't think he actually was. If he was, then, who was it and why is my heart beating so furiously?
"He said it was someone I was close to. And that he likes them a lot. He whispered something at the end. It sounded like your pen name! Sario!" She snorted.
M-me?! It can't be me! We're not going out or anything!
I must've shown how I felt because she asked what was wrong.
"N-nothing! I'm just, wondering! He couldn't have said my old name! He doesn't even know me!!" I shook my head, vigorously.
"Oh... then I guess so. What're you doing?" She pulled the art book out of my hands.
"HEY!" I practically screamed.
"Did you draw this?" She asked, looking at me concerned.
"M-maybe.." I blushed.
"That's amazing, Mizuki! I have to show him!" She smiled.
"N-no! ISABOLE!!! Kudasai!" I tugged it from her grip and poked her.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. But, why'd you draw him and why don't you want him to see?" She punched me in the arm.
"I drew him 'cause I was bored! It's not against the law to draw someone! Is it?" I punched her back.
"Did you see him today?" She stood up and kicked me.
"Quit hurting me! Yes, I saw him today. Who cares?" I got up and pushed her.
"I care! Now answer my second question!"
"What was your second question?!" I turned around, so my back was facing her.
"WHY CAN'T I SHOW HIM?!?" She screamed.
"WHY CAN'T YOU QUIT ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS!?!?" I ran out of the room.
"Mizuki! COME BACK HERE!" I heard her running after me.
"Your. Not. My. MOTHER!!!" I tripped on the tile floor.
"Ow!" I managed to choke out.
"Mizuki! Are you okay?" Isabole helped me up.
"I'm fine!" But I couldn't move my left arm.
"Can you wriggle your fingers?" She asked.
"Yes! Sheesh! I just can't move my arm," I tried but it hurt.
"Which arm? Tell me as we get outside," She pulled my right arm to the door.
"Left," I whispered.
"Can't hear you when you whisper! Try to speak normal for once, Mizuki," She helped me in the car.
"I SAID MY LEFT!!!!" I raised my voice.
"Okay! Now just rest while we drive to the hospital!"
This isn't like a serious injury, right? I thought.
I fell asleep to the rocking of the car.

                                          ~
"Mizuki! Wake up!" I heard Isabole calling.
I opened my eyes.
Still in the car?! How long was I asleep?
"I'm awake. Where are we?"
"Hospital. Hurry up and get out," She helped me out of the car and into the hospital.
"Yes, his name is Mizuki Oriziko. He fell and something's wrong with his- uh huh, yes," I listened, half asleep.
"Isabole, I'm so... tired," I collapsed on the ground.
"Agh! Mizuki!"
Suddenly I felt someone picking me up.
"He's gonna be fine, just bring him to the x-rays!" I heard people yelling.
Orders.
Orders.
Orders.
The nurses and doctors are giving orders.
And orders.
"Mizuki! Sario!" I opened my eyes to Shojin's voice.
"Shojin!" I screamed.
"Huh? Shojin's not here, Mizuki! It's just Isabole! They're putting on the cast, okay?"
Just Isabole?
Oh.
T-there was a part of me wishing it was Shojin.
"H-hai. I wanna see Shojin! Where is he?!" I didn't know what was happening. I just started shouting random stuff.
Shojin here!
Shojin there.
"Where's Shojin! I need him, here!" I was flailing my legs.
The cast was finally put on.
Isabole paid the people at the front desk and led me toward the door.
"WHERE'S SHOJIN?!?! HE NEEDS TO BE HERE, NOW!!!" I was half tired! Screaming my head off.
Then.
It was then when Shojin appeared.
At the front door.
"Shojin! WHERE WERE YOU!!!???" I pulled out of Isabole's arms and hugged him.
"Mizuki! What-" I pushed him to the ground.
"Where were you? I needed you here! Shojin and Isabole! The per-"
It looked like he'd been crying!
He had tears at the bottom of his eye and he was resting against the beautiful wall.
"Shojin?" I wondered if he was okay.
"Sario..." He whispered in my ear.
Suddenly, I was surrounded by a black abyss.
