( Au where mizuena go to the same middle school ! ! ^_^ )

Mizuki Akiyama, known as nothing beyond that 'weird kid'. Liking cute things , like dresses and bows, makeup, anime — that was completely unacceptable for who she was ‘supposed to be.’ The constant bullying stemmed from nothing but identity.

Nobody at the school liked her. That was obvious enough. When she would muster up the courage to go to school and walk through the hallways, she would constantly hear endless whispering from her classmates. This constant bullying, she had enough of it. So, she just ended up finding a quiet, secluded place that students weren’t usually at. And so, she started spending time on the roof during the school day, skipping classes.

She would never be able to imagine herself keeping a friendship for long periods of time. It never felt like she was able to. In the end, she just started to believe she just.. wasn’t capable to.

So Mizuki never expected to be friends with a girl in the grade above her, who was quite harsh, perhaps even cold to others. A talented artist — probably the most talented Mizuki ever met, Ena Shinonome. The girl who constantly brushed people away and sat in the lonely art studio alone — constantly alone and hating when she was in the presence of someone else, never seeming to have a spark in her eyes, always had a gleam on her face when she saw Mizuki on the rooftop.

Mizuki never truly did understand it. she didn’t hate it, she loved Ena, above everything else. Having a friend was .. amazing. Honestly, she admired Ena. Mizuki just didn’t understand why Ena, of all people, would be her friend. How Ena be okay with hanging out with her, knowing what everyone at school thinks of her.
