Her realization
Episode 1
Early in the morning, hiyori wakes up from sleep with a messy hair . She gets down from her bed, washes
her face and brushes her teethe.Then she get's ready for her school. Her mother calls her from kitchen "
Hiyori wake up, it's time for your school "
"Mom i'm already up " She replies.
" Wow, you woke up early today. Is there anything special today? " She asks.
" Don't know, shelly asked me to come early today. "
" Hiyori, I wanted to say this for a while now but I don't think you should be with her much uh... I didn't
mean that you have to break friendship with her! But I just want you to be careful "
" Mom, why do you always worry about things like that? I have been friends with shelly for 2 and a half
years now and you are also friends with her mother too " She said it with a little agony.
" Ok ok I'm sorry. It's just that your way too innocent about things like this "
"MOM.." Says it with a poker face.
" Oh, my! look at the time. hurry up and have your breakfast or your going to be late "
" Ahh.. I'm going to be late " she thought. She took the sandwich her mother made and hurry to front door.
" Hiyori.... at least have your breakfast on the dining table!! "
" Sorry there's no time mom " She replied in a hurry.
Hiyori wore her shoes with the sandwich in her mouth and she ran to the fastest road to go to school.
while running she was thinking" Because of mom I am going to be late, hope the attendant counting
students are not there and shelly is going to be angry too."
A thought came to her "Ahh....shelly , I know she is being my friend for her own benefits. Since I am an
otaku( Otaku is a Japanese term for people with consuming interests, particularly in anime and manga or
games etc), I played a lot of games, so it is easy for me to talk to the boys. She used me to get the guys
she likes. I'm not that kind of fool mom; but what can I do, I don't want to be alone and she is one of my
few friends and she listens to me too sometimes haha ..... ,hmm finally at the school gate"
Hiyori go up into her class floor. When she was going to her class she felt a weird atmosphere there.
''Safe '' she mumbled. she gose to her seat. Shelly's seat is in front of her's. " Shelly did something
happened here, the atmosphere is weird? It feels their staring at me........ shelly...?"she asked.
When shelly was not answering her, hiyori poked her. Shelly shouted, " What is it?!! If you what to know
what's wrong ask other's f*****g fujoshi !" ( Fujoshi is a reclaimed Japanese term for female fans of
manga, anime and novels that feature romantic relationships between men or means 'rotten girl') Hiyori
was startled by what shelly said. Only shelly and her friends known that hiyori is an fujoshi. Hiyori wanted
to hide the fact that she was fujoshi from others specially from her family.
'' Wha.. what are sayi..ng?" She suddenly heard other's whispering " She's the one right?" "she's a fucking
b***h?" " yeh nasty." "I thought she was an innocent girl." " Guess your wrong." "we should keep our
distant from her, who knows she could be gay too." " Oh, did you see the pic where she was going to an
adult shop?" " Yeah, who knows if she bought a toy." " No way, she needs a ID."
After hearing these whisper her vision suddenly become blurry, she felt like puking. Then the homeroom
teacher come in. The whisper stopped. "Everyone stand" says class president.
" Everyone sit down and be silent, I'll take your attendance and Nakamura Hiyori come to the teacher's
room after class is over ", says the teacher.
After that homeroom teacher took the attendance and started the class but for hiyori she could not think
of anything like she was in a blank space. In her mind she was like, " What just happened, am I dreaming,
what photo they were talking about, I can't let my mom dad know about these things, this can't be really
happening " Before hiyori knew it the class was already over like a blink of a eye.After a deep breath she
goes to the teacher's room. while going to the teacher's room she heard more whisper but she tried to
ignore it.
She slowly opened the door of the teacher's room. The teacher told her to come closer to him and ask's
her " Is it true, Hiyori? "
" Wha..what does that mean, sir?" she ask's.
" You know very well what I mean!! What were you doing in a adult shop at the night?! Do you know what
have you done, our school reputation could have drooped because of you. Thank the senior's for
stooping the rumor.And there's also other rumor's about you. God I thought you were a good student;
How could you made a mistake like this, huh?!! Now tell me what does this mean? Hmm" says it with an
aggressive voice.
The teacher shows her the photo of her where she was in a adult shop. She suddenly remembered that
shelly was the one who took her to the adult shop about a week ago . She told her it would be fun and she
could see the toys that were in the bl manga's. That she wouldn't get caught because of her height. Hiyori
was pretty tall for her age, so people could simply misunderstood her age. And hiyori also remembered
that shelly was the only one who knew her there. That means that she is the who took that photo.
" Sir, we were kidding around, nothing else. And shelly was also there!! "
" Shelly was there? Ok I'll call shelly but do you have any evidence that she was with you ?"
" N..no ,sir " says it with a hasty voice.
" For now your not going to the class. I called your mother and I'll have a meeting with your mother. she
will take you home "
" Sir, please don't. Don't tell. m... "
" No more talking!! Now get out " he stopped her from talking.
After that her mother came, the homeroom teacher told her mother everything. Hiyori's mother was
shocked for what she heard. And the homeroom teacher also called shelly but she denied everything
hiyori said. She also told the teacher that she was good friends with hiyori but she would never do such a
thing and there was no evidence that she was there.
After a while hiyori's mother takes her and goes to home with a suffocating silence between them. Her
tells her to sit down in the dining table. A while later her mother finally start talking, " Is it true that you
went to a adult shop?"she said it calmly but hiyori known she was furious.
" Mom I....., please let me explain I gone there with shelly and I..... "
" I don't want to hear your explanation, just tell me you gone there or not?"
" Y....yes, I did " says it with a slow voice.
" Haa... your teacher suspended you for two days. And one more thing I wanted to ask you, are you..... are
you really gay? Please tell me truthfully! PLEASE !! "
" NO I AM NOT LIKE THAT!!!!! "she shouted " Mom!! please believe me..... "
She didn't look convinced " After your dad comes home, I'll talk to your dad about this"
Hiyori goes to her room with a teary face and locks her door. When her father came home, her mother and
father talked about what they should do. Hiyori heard all of it from her room. Whisper that they want to
take her hospital to know if she's ill. Even her past wound came out after hearing how they wanted a boy,
not a girl.
No matter how hiyori's parents looked happy; they were not happy with hiyori because they always
wanted a boy and she even knew how her mother was depressed because of having hiyori. Even after
knowing the truth pretending not knowing hurt her a lot. Because of her parents she didn't stood up for
herself even if she's right; She doesn't want her parents to worry, not think she's a trouble.
But after all that it was destroyed in one day. When she was a little girl she never cried over small
wounds, she was very brave. But her parents made her weak. Thinking her past now, she cried the whole
night and she decided to drop the act of being good.
Next morning her mother asks her to go to the hospital with her but she refuses her. She says that " If you
don't believe me then why should I listen to you? " Hiyori's mother was furious but she did not listen to
her. She tried her best to convince her parents the next two days for what happened but they didn't listen
to hiyori. That's when hiyori truly realize the world doesn't work the way we want.
Because her suspension was over. She gets ready for her school. when opened the door her mother asks
her " Are you sure you want to go to school" Hiyori says nothing and goes out for school. While walking
in the road she was thinking " If I was a boy then I would have been gay for sure and it feels good too
because of the sweet point in the back haha.." she slightly laugh, " Who am I kidding, I am a virgin myself;
who doesn't know anything about feeling good "
'These stupid thought made me lose track of time. Ah I am already at the school.' Hiyori take's a deep
breath, " Let's be brave and do what I need to do"
