Tyuzu's POV

I settled into my bed for the night, propping my two pillows up on the headboard. I pulled out my favorite book and flipped back to page one. There was a bookmark placed inside, but I don't remember touching it since before the move.

I got through about 3 pages before I decided to get up and stretch. I had a tough week at my new school. I didn't know anyone, and the grading system was a lot stricter than at my old school.

Before I settled in for good, I opened my curtains and propped open the window.

I barley got through two words before I heard a booming voice behind me.

"Hey Mina."

I whipped my head around in shock. My window was completely open now, and right outside my room stood a girl I had never seen before in my life.

"What're you doing in my window!?!" I screamed. I was home alone tonight after all.

"Oh, shit, you're not Mina."

"Yeah!" I sighed out, exasperated and frightened.

The girl's smile melted from her face. "Sorry, my best friend used to live here. Sorry for scaring you."

She turned away as I thought I saw a few tears forming in her eyes.

"Wait!"
