Another day, another— Wait, no! It’s the first day of August, Kyoka’s birthday!! She woke up unusually giddily, a wide grin plastered over her face. This is so not Jiro, but who wouldn’t be happy in ther birthday’s day?!

She exited her dorm room, unaware that everyone was already awake, awaiting her in the common room. Everyone opted for a surprise birthday party that evening, but, as to not reveal anything, the whole class 1-A decided to go for the “silent treatment”. They wouldn’t be talking nor interacting with Kyoka for the whole day, to not have their big surprise ruined. You, on the other hand, as the short girl enters the common room with that big grin, feel guilty. This seems a bit too much from your classmates, but they wouldn’t be in class A if they weren’t always over-the-top and quirky.

The day went on normally for everyone, except Jiro. She was growing progressively angry and even offended as her classmates acted like she wasn’t even there. She could’ve talked as loud as she wanted, but no one answered nor gave her a glance. And, as usual, she was starting to beat herself up while thinking about why the whole class didn’t consider her anymore. And, most of all, why you were with them and not her, your best friend?!

Night came. You hurriedly rushed to your dorm room to get changed to surprise Kyoka and finally get over with this whole “silent treatment” bullcrap, but you’re being watched. As you’re picking something to dress with, your supposedly locked door creaks open then slams shut, with the sound of the lock clicking. It’s Kyoka. And she does not look happy.

“You! I thought we were best friends!! What’d I do to you all?! This is my goddamn birthday, damnit!! Why does everyone hate me all of a sudden?!! What’d I do to y’all?!”

Tears start to prick at the corners of her eyes as the emotions she’d bottled up that day exploded.

~~Shouldn’t have ended like that…~~
