The next day, Amasa woke up late... Again.
She ran downstairs quickly.
Amasa: GRANDMA DID YOU TURN OFF MY ALARM AGAIN?!
Amasa's grandmother: No... I only turned it off yesterday.
Amasa: So it just magically turned off by itsel-.... Oh~ I didn't turn it back on yesterday.
Amasa ran back upstairs and got ready quickly, she did her usual pigtails, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and put on her uniform.
She ran downstairs quickly.
Amasa: Did you make breakfast today?
Amasa's grandmother: No, I'm not doing too well today.
Amasa: Really? I told you that I should be the one making breakfast for us but you insisted on making it yourself... Now I don't have breakfast.
Amasa's grandmother: Yes but the last time you asked to make breakfast, you burned the pancakes.
Amasa: Yea but I started taking cooking classes after that... Well anyway, what am I supposed to eat then?
Amasa's grandmother: Luckily I brought some pastries and yogurt yesterday.
Amasa: Yogurt!
Amasa ran over to the fridge like an excited kid and got two yogurts. She also took a pastry.
She put them in her lap while she put on her shoes.
Once she put her shoes on put the pastry in her mouth and waved to her grandmother and left out the house.
Today she decided to take her bike since she was really late.
On her way there, she saw Kenji walking while eating toast.
She stopped.
Amasa: Hey Kenji! Need a ride?
Kenji looked back, surprised to see Amasa.
Kenji: Uh yea sure.
He walked over to get onto the bike but Amasa rode off with a devious smirk on her face.
Amasa: That's for eating the yogurt yesterday!
Kenji: IT'S MY YOGURT JERK!
Amasa smiled and kept riding away.
When she made it to school, she locked her bike and ran inside the school.
Amasa made it to class and sat down.
She stared out the window, lost in random thoughts.
Amasa(thoughts): I wonder if Kenji ever made it to school... I hope not.
She giggled to herself.
Amasa(Thoughts): It's too bad only have a few classes with any of my funny friends... Most of my classes are with Mr. Nonchalant over there. He barely talks anyway, and when he does... He's very dull.
Amasa sighed and looked over at Kazuki and saw him writing something.
Amasa(Thoughts): I wonder what he's writing. The teacher's only Showing us how to do things we should already know. Or is he just stupid and takes notes of everything... Or he's a nerd.
Kazuki looked over at Amasa and saw that she was staring at him, he blushed his head down.
Amasa(thoughts): What's up with him?
Kazuki(Thoughts): Why was she staring at me? That was so strange. She acts like a toddler 24/7 but I guess she's more mutu- Nah. My heart's pounding like crazy. Surely she's not in love with me or something. I'm like the dullest guy out there... I wonder if she's still staring.
Kazuki looked up only to see that Amasa was still staring at him, she then smiled at Kazuki.
Kazuki's face turned beet read and he put his head down again.
Kazuki(Thoughts): M-Maybe she's not looking at me. Maybe she's daydreaming or something. That's got to be it. Why would anyone want to look at me. I'm so depressing to look at. I'm always too scared to talk about how I feel. Or what I think. It's frustrating.
Amasa(thoughts):Yeah he seriously has some issues.... I wonder what kenji's doing right now. Maybe he's mad about what I did. I don't care. It was funny. I like teasing him. He always gets worked up... Like a child. It's so cu- ..... What am I thinking?
Amasa blushes a bit and puts her head down too.
Amasa(thoughts): I mean, he is kinda cute... And funny but we're just friends and tha-
Why am I Even thinking about this...
Kazuki(thoughts): She blushed! And she put her head down... I-I don't know if she likes me or something. Most likely not. How can anyone like me if I don't even like myself?
The bell rung, It startled Amasa and Kazuki. They both got up and went to their next class. So did everyone else in the friend group.
The day went on like this until they had a free period in which they all met up in an empty classroom to discuss things.
Kenji: Oh if it isn't the girl that didn't want to give me a ride on her bike because I ATE MY OWN YOGURT!
Amasa just rolled her eyes and looked away, she couldn't look him the eyes.... But why?
Sakura: Guys so I was sitting in class and it was really quiet while the teacher wrote on the bored and Shinji farted.
Shinji: Did not!
Sakura: Did to!
Shinji: Did not!
Sakura: Did to!
Shinji: Did n-
Kazuki: I believe we have things to discuss...
Amasa: Hey Kazuki, what were you writing during class?
Kazuki: So you were staring at me!
Amasa: Y-Yeah but so what?! I was only curious.
Kazuki(thoughts): I knew it..
Kazuki: I was writing in my book, I just write my thoughts and things that happened.
Amasa: Oo~ let me read it.
Kazuki: No way!
Kenji: Look at Mr. Mysterious getting bullied by a girl~!
Kazuki: I'm not getting bullied.
Amasa: Yeah all I did was ask could i see the book! Also, thats why you had to walk to school when you were late!
Kenji: Yea and I'm going to murder you for that.
Amasa: That's all you ever say, Murder this murder that! You'd never do it and besides, if you ever do you'll regret it.
Kenji: Threatening me?
Amasa: No! What good would I get out of that?!
Shinji: Stop guys, I actually wanna talk about the Kiken thingies!
Sakura: Yeah me too!
Amasa and Kenji: Shut up kids!
Sakura and Shinji: Kids?
Sakura: We're all more like kids with Kazuki being the mother y'know?
Shinji: I thought so too.
Kazuki blushed.
Kazuki: No way!
Kenji: Why the heck are you blushing dude? You like the idea of being a mother. Oh~ so your gay?
Kazuki blushed again.
Kazuki: What? No way! I-I'm not gay! I don't like boys! I-I like girls!
Kenji: Oh so now your a pedophile?
Kazuki: What?! N-No! I don't like little kids! I said I like girls not "Little Girls"...
Amasa: Pfft that's why kenji's so stupid!
Shinji: I know right.
Kenji: Shut up Shinji before I throw your headphones in some water.
Shinji gasped sarcasticly.
Sakura: Yea do it!
Kenji: I'll have you know that I have better grades than any of you in here.
Amasa: Nuh uh! Kazuki probably has better grades than you.
Kazuki: Probably no-
Kenji: No way!
Kazuki: We should really be talking about the Kiken situation...
Amasa: The what now?
Kazuki: Kiken, we talked about it yesterday. It was on the news. They're few in numbers currently but we should become Kiken Hunters and make an academic club researching them. That way we can defeat them more easily.
Kenji: Right. That's actually a great idea. As long as I'm the one requesting the club it definitely will get approved, however if you guys want Amasa or Shinji to do it then it'll be declined faster than the speed of light.
Amasa: Shut you're mouth!
Shinji: That's probably true...
Sakura giggled and started staring at Shinji.
Sakura(Thoughts): I think he's the dumbest one in the friend group... Now that I think about it, we all became friends pretty quickly. It just took one day.
Shinji(To Sakura): What?
Sakura sighed.
Sakura: Nothing, just thinking.
Amasa: So how do we become Kiken Hunters?
Kazuki: I did some research, we have to apply for it and we'll be taking some kind of physical test I guess. They will also do a written test as well if I'm not mistaken.
Kenji: Right. I did research as well. I saw a video of a Kiken recently, it was uncensored so I basically turned the video off immediately.
Kazuki: what happened?
Kenji: It was eating someone
Amasa: Woah! Really?
Kazuki: Why are you surprised Amasa? We talked about this yesterday.
Amasa: So what, my memory is not great.
Kenji: Well I'm going to fill out a club application so just give me a moment.
Kenji left the room.
It was quiet for a moment.
Amasa: Do you guys really want to be Kiken Hunters? We could very well die.. and also... Uh... So I have to transform to use my powers but when I transform... Uh I'm kinda unhinged.
Sakura: You're already "Unhinged"
Amasa: Yeah I guess so but not as much as transformed me.
Shinji: I wanna see!
Sakura: Me too!
Kazuki: uh me too.
Amasa: Maybe never.
Sakura: What? Aren't you going to be a Kiken Hunter?
Amasa: Yes but it's a bit dangerous for me... Because well uhm... I have a curse placed on me... It limits my powers, and it makes it where I will die at the age of 18.
Everyone was surprised by Amasa's words.
Sakura stood up quickly.
Sakura: Y-You're going to die when you're eighteen?!
Amasa: W-Well there are certain conditions to where I can live but I think I'd rather die.
Sakura: What are the conditions?
Amasa: Well, I'll lose all my memories and serve some random guy for the rest of my life.
Shinji: That's not too bad... I guess
Amasa: He wants all of humanity dead, including you guys. He'll use me and my abilities like tools. No thanks.
Kazuki: How will you die then?
Amasa: That's the thing... I have to kill myself. Doesn't matter how. It has to be after I turn 18 so I can't be 18 for more than 2 hours or I serve this man that wants all you guys dead.
Sakura covered her mouth, surprised.
Kazuki had a chill face as usual but he was upset in the inside.
Shinji started biting his nails.
Amasa: But I-I don't really mind dying, I deserve it anywa-
Kenji burst into the room.
Kenji: Guess who's club application got accepted. (He said with a smug smile)
The room was silent.
Kenji reads the room.
Kenji: what happened.
Sakura: Well Amasa's going to d-
Amasa: Nothing.... Uh what's our club called?
Sakura and Shinji was surprised.
Sakura: B-But
Kazuki: Sakura...
Sakura: Ok...
Kenji: Oh well it's called "Kiken research team"
Amasa: That's lame! Should've chosen something cool like "Super Kiken researchers!" Or something.
Kenji: That would have been accepted...
Amasa: It would've!
Kenji: No it wou- it's actually unusually quiet in here. Seriously what ha-
Amasa: Nothing! Geez...
Kenji: Well, it's seems otherwi-
The bell rung, it was time to go to their next classes. Amasa was the first out the door. Kenji left after and then Kazuki.
Shinji got up and walked towards the door, put his hand on it, and looked back at Sakura.
Shinji: I understand... Let's j-
Sakura: You don't understand! I'm going to lose another friend due to a stupid curse!
Shinji: Another? B-But listen, we've barely know each other anyways.
Sakura: I know that but it..... It feels like we all had this bond forever.
Shinji: Let's just go Sakura...
Sakura: I guess you really don't understand... (She said in a shaky and sad voice)
She ran and pushed past Shinji, running to her next class.
Shinji saw the tears on Sakura's face.
Shinji(Thoughts): She isn't wrong though... I feel the same way.
Shinji bit his lip.
He stood there for a moment but soon went to his next class.
