CHOICES
1
ForeverA word which supposed to be profound, meaningful, packed with memories, emotions...but apparently has became meaningless since that day. The day I chose to embrace the darkness.
My eyes are glimmering just like rubies. My healthy wavy hair bouncing immersing its shine, complementing my porcelain white flawless skin.
I’m beautiful….they told me.
I am Oshima Yuko, and let’s get along, from now on.
Nee?

“Chocolate or…hmm strawberry?” It was Yuki bumping softly the figure beside her asking the smaller figure, Mayu, for her desired flavour. Apparently Mayu only had a vague response of a nodding motion which can also be considered as a NO. Nothing new and so in the end Yuki had to choose for both of them. It was already about their lunch time and Mayu has only been blabbering about the same topic since morning, the night class, the renowned night class whom no one has ever laid his or her eyes on.
The morning and the night classes are actually using the same building, same classrooms and even facilities however, when the morning classes end their shift no one is allowed to even stay inside the university even extra-curricular club activities are prohibited, and most especially during the time when the night class is about to enter the university from their dormitory specialized entrance which connects the two vicinities.
Since the beginning only from rumours morning students can ponder on about the physique and on how actually the night classes’ works, not to mention the mysterious members of it, as rumours only had excellent reports about them being incredibly attractive as Goddesses. Rumours no one has proven yet as these taletellers were sure expelled and who knows what happened to them as they vanished consequently.
The only thing that differentiates the night classes from the morning classes are that night students use a different color for their uniform which is white as the morning classes use red.
“Strawberry….” Mayu murmured as she stared on the moistened cold soda can at hand. It’s her favourite though and yet her facial expression wasn’t even an inch looking complimentary towards her friend at her side. Indeed. Her consciousness must be as always floating around the corner.. a typical scenario to be expected from Mayu though. They were sitting against the infamous giant sakura tree behind the school grounds. The only one which can only witness the university from day to night; the only reliable source Mayu could actually depend on. Well too bad, if only it could only speak and spit everything out, all the mysteries and the truth behind every other suspicious rule their school has been implementing since the beginning.
“Mayu..finish your food” Yuki uttered as she knew from the very start that Mayu didn’t even plan on touching her food.
“Yuki…”
“hmm?”
“I wanna see the night class…” Mayu responded. Her voice was still and firm and Yuki knew whatever Mayu wants she get it, even if she has to sacrifice anything. She’s a stubborn-brat in a different level, an extreme one to be precise.
“Mayu, that’s prohibited…we can’t” Yuki declined, her voice slightly controlled especially with the ‘prohibited’ word, as she was very cautious for anyone not to hear and be aware of their topic although they were alone. However Yuki knew that her answer wouldn’t matter at all. Mayu displaying her puffing cheeks was a no-no for Yuki, a critical hit she wouldn’t be able to stand.
“What?! No… No…Mayu, you won’t” Yuki shook her hands in front of Mayu’s pouting face expressing her discord. However, Mayu is that stubborn to even lean closer on her poor friend. “Kashiwagi…” She puffed. Her eyes were threatening that Yuki actually understood she didn’t have any choice at all.
“Seriously…”

“dusk….”
The sun has set, the formerly dark room suddenly was filled with life, sophisticated lights illuminating across the spacious room. The small squirrel girl just stood in front of her human-sized glass window… Her eyes staring straight through the void seemingly dead plot
“empty…” Her polo shirt still undone and yet it was almost time for her schooling.
It was when a sudden figure appeared inside the room. However, the visit didn’t even surprise the figure.
“Yuko..” The calm and understanding voice she has been hearing for years, every single day. Hearing her name, Yuko slightly turned her head to side signalling the other her understanding of the situation. “I know…”
It was when she felt the arms slithered through her sides wrapping around her body, her gracious hands searching for those tiny round buttons and placed them where they are supposed to be. “Lazy….” The taller figure breathed onto the smaller figure’s ears, as an evident smirk formed across the other’s face.
Footsteps and lively chatters from the other occupants out of the blue echoed coming from the hallway.
“I’ll go ahead…” The taller figure uttered as she retreated her body and headed for the door.
“Thank you Acchan…”
===
“Bye Yukirin! Bye Mayu!” goodbyes suddenly filled the school’s gate. It was almost time for the shifting of classes to take place and it was expected for the morning students to vacate the whole vicinity and so the students one after another are leaving for their homes.
Just not…Mayu and Yuki.
However, Yukirin wasn’t still fully-convinced that time since they were in fact just about to break the supreme rule of their school. Unfortunately, it seems that it didn’t even matter to Mayu at all as she looked very lively and excited for their journey unlike Yuki who was full of facepalms and jitters all across her face.
“Mayu, are you really sure about this??”
“YES.” A firm and quick yes came from the smaller figure. There was a quick pause before Mayu actually made an effort to face her partner. “It’s okay….just stay here then” She continued as she cupped both Yuki’s cheeks and playfully shook it. The gesture seemed like a tease for Yuki however, she couldn’t help but feel guilty about it, she really is afraid of it.
But before she could redeem herself Mayu has quickly let go of her and without further notice headed forward leaving her all alone outside…no matter how she tried to take a step to follow her friend, it seems her fear is growing every second. She hates it. They never complemented each other and it was actually one of those times she has to say it once again "I don’t know why am I even your friend….UGH”
…………………………………..
Mayu quickly hid herself behind the gigantic sakura tree. Thankfully the specialized gate is actually visible from that point. However, it seems heavens hasn't sided on Mayu this time as she noticed the
white-uniformed class already reached the classroom entrance and were already settling inside
“Whaaat?! Ugh” Suddenly, a faint thud has gotten Mayu’s attention coming from her behind as tiny droplets of perspiration formed at the sides of Mayu’s temples. It became dead silent afterwards as only rushes of air could be heard. An eerie atmosphere she first experienced all throughout her life, her heart beating fast every second as she felt eyes watching her. The thrill and uneasiness are killing her but she couldn’t seem to turn her head as she was stoned on her very feet. She never knew fear since then.
“What’s your name?” an unfamiliar voice came from her behind. The voice startled the morning student and so without any thoughts she about faced and found a small girl standing right before her. She was only wearing her polo top on, without her jacket on..it puzzled the already bewildered one even more.
She’s beautiful.
That’s what all she could think of as if she even has forgotten her own name. A figure looking dashing under the moon’s glimmer.
“It’s true after all….” Mayu unconsciously murmured still perplexed at everything happening to her.
“Hmm?” The girl with squirrel features smiled looking amused to a seemingly rare creature heavy breathing in front of her.
“I’m Mayu…Watanabe Mayu”
“I see….it’s nice to meet you Mayu-chan….”
“What’s….your name?” Mayu still trying to grasp her situation asked, her hands touching the tree’s bark feeling a little cautious. There was a quick pause before a response was made by the beautiful stranger. “It’s Yuko..” She said.
“Are..you…Are you a morning or a night student?” Mayu eagerly asked, her long mystery case has finally reaching its conclusion, is it?
“What do you think huh?” Yuko playfully answered, grinning with her one brow moving up and down and her arms crossed above her chest feeling comfortable already with her new found friend. “I know you know the answer…” She continued with a chuckle.
However, the formerly lively expression on Yuko’s face suddenly changed and became firm; an authoritative expression emitting control and supremacy which weren’t left unnoticed by the morning student. “I think you should go now…”
“Yes…o-okay! I’ll go now…” Mayu stuttered as she shook her head from left to right unsure where to go, full of anxiety. Yuko couldn’t help but feel amused by Mayu, it has been years since she interacted with a morning actually. It was fresh and very interesting and so Yuko moved towards the anxious figure.
A brief moment of silence has once again enveloped the two as Yuko leaned on Mayu to take a closer look. She closed her eyes as the sweet smile plastered on her face didn’t fade.. “Your friend….she’s almost crying right now, you should go pick her up outside Mayu” Yuko uttered as if she’s using a mystic ability of seeing things.
“Eh?!”
“Yep!” Yuko answered, her sweet smile overlapped with a playful grin. “So go…now”
“o-okay….” Mayu obliged and soon after seconds of uncertainty of where to go and even stop her shameful interaction with the night student dashed towards the darkness.

“Where have you been?”
A familiar and expected statement coming from the influential figure sitting on a table with her legs and arms crossed, Acchan.
“I was just out…nothing new” the newly arrived student responded as her eyes wandered around the corridor “Where are the others?”
“They’re already inside waiting for you…as always...”
“Okay…” the smaller figure uttered as she held the knob but a hand suddenly stopped her form turning it. She turned her head to her side, waiting for any unfavorable response from the other. Acchan, leaning closer as her cheek almost touching the smaller figure’s neck made a lungful of Yuko’s scent.
“Yuko…you’re crazy….” Acchan uttered in realization; a smirk covering her face.
===
Mayu ran towards where she left Yuki and found no one, the area was as expected vacated by everyone. She would’ve gone home but still she couldn’t shake that even for a bit she believed the stranger’s intuition. “Yukirin..where are you?” She hummed softly as she turned her head to all possible sides just to have a clue the whereabouts of her dear friend.
“finally….”She was sitting on a bench close to the school’s gate, her head kept down.
“Yuki…”
Hearing her name, Yuki lifted her head, exposing her swollen eyes.
“Bakarin…” Mayu knew it all along. Instead of sitting beside her friend, she just opted to stand in front of her. But why is it the more you console a person the more you’re making her cry? It’s a fact she knew and believed since their childhood days. Whenever she’s making her friend cry, she never tried consoling Yuki as one friend is expected to.
Mayu just tapped her friend’s shoulder repetitively as it was the most comforting gesture she could do and Yuki would just lean closer and sob to her heart’s content.
“Stop crying now…I’m here”
