Naomi -

I groan, resisting the urge to chop off Maya’s hands as she rocks me back and forth, in an attempt to wake me up and get my out of bed for breakfast. It was Friday, the last day of the first week of highschool. Sort of a milestone I suppose.

Yuki had disappeared after Monday, no words of her except when Will reassured me on Tuesday that she was okay. Then he disappeared on Wednesday. I was very worried for them.

Neither of them would really respond to my texts, and I found myself being very lonely and scared at school. I really didn’t like this feeling.

I pull on a loose sundress, trying to keep the buttons from sticking out too much around my breasts as I weasle through the thin fabrics. Cursing quietly to myself, I brush out my braids and try to style my hair to the best of my abilities before prompting myself to leave it out. It was too early for this.

My mother sets out peanut butter and pancakes for everyone, and I happily eat my way through three before being ushered out of the house and into the car. The entire car ride ended up being full of the basic family car ride components needed. Incessant arguing, and me struggling to loosen the ties on my shoes as my mother swerves recklessly on the road.

Get through the day, Naomi. Just get through the day.

Today ended up being just like the rest of the week, lonely, boring, and scary.

I pick at the corner of my desk, not even being able to remember what class I was even in. It was just the same screaming children anyways. I sigh and slump my head onto the desk in a weak way of trying to knock myself. Maybe if I fell asleep, this would be a way of waking up from this nightmare. I was way too tired to deal with any of this.

My heart and sides felt a weird physical ache, as it had been for a while now. I kind of added it up to my menstrual starting soon, but it felt… different.

I miss her.

Them, I miss the both of them.

I shake my head to knock my thoughts clean, my forehead rubbing against the desk and growing hot from the friction. All I had to do was get through the day, and then I could go home and stay there for two entire days. I could have Maya and Carter bring me food through the door.

If it weren’t for my bluetooth headphones and EZ tab, I would have died by now. They were small and well hidden in my thick hair, allowing me to go undetected.

I wonder what Yuki and WIll were up to?

I nervously pick at the skin on my thumb, praying to Mother herself that they were alright.
