Blue Eyes I First Saw

Chapter 32

It's from Seikatu. ‘Okay.’ is all he replied but still made me smile. Atleast I can talk to him now without stuttering.

“This is for Souru.” I reminded myself.

The next morning came and it's Friday! I woke up having a bright smile on my face as if that day is special. I mean it really is, it's last day of weekdays.

I wore my uniform and stare at myself in front of a mirror. My hair is cascading down my back straightly. My face is bare.

I wonder what will I look when I style my hair.

After ten minutes, I comb my hair again to just let fall and think of a different hairstyle. I just don't know how to do it.

Twenty-five minutes have passed, I sighed feeling contented of what I do. Yes, I spend twenty-five minutes to just put a hairpin on the right side of my hair.

It looks different on me, should I take it off?

My subconsciousness says no so I just gather all my things and put my satchel on without my outer skin— my jacket. I'll try not having jacket for today for the fourth time.

I smiled in front of the whole body mirror once again. Isn't it wierd for people to just saw me with a hairpin on my head?

Brushing off my thoughts I exited my room and got rooted on the dining's entrance.

My parents look at me— they are eating their breakfast. I thought they left already?

“Zyosei, come join us.” my father said so seriously.

My feet made me sat in front of them quietly and carefully like how my mother wants it.

I stare on the food placed on the table in front of me. There's a Miso soup, steamed rice and grilled fish having green tea as its drink. I gulped not because it looks delicious but the tension I'm feeling is growing.

Sipping on my green tea, I choose the Miso soup to eat. It's delicious and it will be easy for me to finish it in case my parents started their litanies.

My father cleared his throat and sipped his tea. “You always go home late.”

“It's not good to look at, Zyosei.”

My internals sighed upon hearing them. I continue eating.

“It looks like you don't study on your free time and just stroll around the city.” my mother said as she took a glimpse on me.

“Your graduation is near. You should be the top achiever. It's a shame to attend but you got minimum awards to receive.”

That's how my bright day become gloomy. I gulped the last spoonful of Miso soup on my mouth and sipped my green tea.

I was about to open my mouth to ask for permission to leave when my father look at me making me more nervous.

“Don't dissapoint us again this coming graduation, Zyosei.”

I nodded. “I— I have to go.”

My mother smiled at me. “That hairpin on your hair makes your face stands out.” she commented. “You may go.”

I bowed my head to the both of them and leave the dining area.

At least Cata— my mother, complements me. That's just what I'll think. I don't want any words to ruin my day.

I sighed. You can still have a bright day, Zyosei.

I find my way to Kokusai Koko long. I guess, even though I told myself that my mother complimented me, I'll still overthink ahat my father said.

‘Don't dissapoint us again . . .’

‘It's a shame to attend . . .’

My father's words really are daggers.

I sat on my chair lifelessly, forgots the bright smile I woke up with today.

The breakfast— I didn't look forward to happen this day. It's just so out of mood that can make me gloomy.

What if they didn't come when my graduation ceremony came? I guess it's just fine? My parents will not march in shame because of their daughter, only daughter who achieves nothing.

If it's not me and my one of my bathmates got to be the top achiever, then I'll be happy for them. It's just that, I value learnings more than those awards.

“Earth to Ms. Kanasimi.” our lecturer said that made me look at them. The whole class is staring at me now.

“Uh . . .yes, Miss?” I blinked. Is she asking me something?

“Pay attention or go out.” she said strictly.

“Y—yes, ma'am.” it came out like a whisper.

The class resumed on how it should be but I'm left out. I can't absorb everything, having the words on my head just can't make me concentrate.

I sighed. If this continue, I might not made it to the ceremony.

Focus. Focus. Focus.

Then I pictured Seikatu's eyes on my head involuntarily. I don't why I pictured it, it just . . .calms me. Maybe it's color because I love the sea. Maybe.

The class ends and Faya run towards the door in an instant like a marathoner. She might meet her aunt or . . .Zire. That two people always make her run.

“Sup, Sei!” Kaizo approached me as I walked out the campus.

“Kaizo.” I greeted as we walk together. “How did the reunion ends? Was it well?”

Kaizo shrugged. “They just kept on annoying me to Faya like before.”

I chuckled. “They just can't get that out of their minds. Faya exerted a lot of effort on her highschool crushes.” I wonder how Zire will react if he knew.

“You're going to the Metro?” he changed the subject.

That's the time I realized that my feet are taking me to the station, a reason for Kaizo to assume that I'm to Metro.

Why am I going to the Metro— Seikatu. “Yeah.” I said. I might talk to Seikatu today about things and Souru.

“Our former club mate— Toku, says he always see you at Tokyo University.” that man.

I sighed. I guess I have to use my parents again. “My parents work there and yeah.” I shrugged.

Kaizo just nodded at me.

At the station, Kaizo and I parted ways. I guess he just walked me here, how nice of him.

I waited no time as I saw Seikatu on the guard quarters of Tokyo University. He was just there standing holding a book like waiting for someone. Some students were taking a glimpse at him and I can't blame them. Seikatu on that spot looks handsome and ideal.

Walking up to his side, my eyes landed on the book he's holding. “Wow!” I can't help not to react. It's Biochemistry!

Seikatu looked at me but I was so busy staring at the book. I can see the content of the page and there's a paper— a picture on it—
