Kiyami (chapter 2)

Kiyami turned around, only to see two girls from the english division in her class. Kiyami never interacted with people before, so to make a good impression, she said "はい、もちろん( yes, of course)" Those girls from the english division only knew a bit of Japanese, but they were considered the better ones in the school so they could understand what Kiyami was saying. "Cool! can we hang out with you during lunch?" they asked."By the way, She is Vanessa, and I am Judy. Can you meet us at table 16 today?"Kiyami could not understand and retorted with, "どういう意味ですか？私は英語があまりよく理解できません.(What do you mean? I cannot understand English so well." Judy took out the translator and translated both their's and Kiyami's message. Kiyami nodded and they walked to class together.

After a while, it was time for break time. During break time, students could hang out in the classroom or walk the grounds. It's like 30 minutes of free time. During the break, girls crowded around the table and started asking questions about Kiyami's new phone. Questions in Japanese and english was asked to Kiyami. Poor Kiyami, she was bombarded with a truck load of questions over a gadget.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind,"Stop it. She is shy and not so comfortable with people and besides, break is almost over so you should go back to your seats."

It was Judy and Vanessa! A smile was plastered on Kiyami's face. For her whole life, she had to solve her own problems. Kiyami decided to meet them during lunch today.

Not so long after, it was lunch. Kiyami took out her sandwich and water from her bag and went to the table. Vanessa and Judy were waiting for her.

"Hi again, Kiyami. I didn't expect to see you at the table today." Vanessa said.

"Hi Vanessa." Kiyami replied.

Vanessa and Judy chatted with Kiyami about their personal life. Kiyami contributed to the conversation too. She then shared her life on isolating herself for her entire life. Kiyami first felt the warmth of having friends

They agreed to meet again tomorrow.

After school, Kiyami walked to the park. She took out her sketchbook and started drawing the birds perching on the sakura trees. She poured all her feeling to this sakura tree hear the lake in the park. That tree, whom Kiyami called "親愛なる" was the only so-called friend in her life.

Will Kiyami continue to open up?
