School day

I've gotta run if I don't wanna be too late. It never happens. I've never been too late before. Never! But since we were up very long yesterday evening I just overslept a little. Just a tiny bit!

Luckily I sit down before the teacher comes in. She's always too late, every day 10 minutes. I hated it before. But now I'm quite thankful for that.

"What's up Kuai Kaiwen?", Mei Mian asks concerned.

Oh, crap I forgot about her! Now I've gotta tell her something. But what? I'm not great in lying. She's the girl I met yesterday in the music room.

"Oh, hey, ah, yeah, some one asked me directions.", I answer. Lame! I'm stupid! Can't I just tell her something better? No, I'm just too stupid.

"Oh, ok, I were just worried.", she tells me and sits down.

She really bought it! By the way, someone worried about me! A long forgotten thing. I almost forgot about worrying about someone, or something, or...

"Do you wanna join us for break?", Mei Mian goes on. She sits right behind me, so we can still talk.

"Sure."

"Wow, guys! Our last Thuesday as middle school students!", Shen Shenmi shouts exited as she sees us, even though we are still really gar away froh her, we still hear her. She must be very noisy today, I guess. Shen Shenmi is Mei Mian's best friend and hangs with the two of us all the time. I know her since yesterday as well.

Then she runs to us and hugs us tight. Uh, I can't breathe anymore! Let me go!

"Hi, Mei Mian, hi, Kuai Kaiwen!", she says. (Very early, huh? Maybe she's a little hyper? She reminds me somehow of Horiacio.)

"Hey Kuai Kaiwen, the teacher tells us our maths- marks today, you remember?", Shen Shenmi starts the new topic, but I'm very out of space and get very shocked as she said so.

"Kuai Kaiwen, are you fine?", Mei Mian asks in a low voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Not fine. fine. no. I don't want to know my mark!

"Oh, no, help! Where is the doctor? We have an important case of nervous twitches! Someone, help!", Shen Shenmi screams all over the yard again, wile laughing so hard that she almost falls of the bench on the ground.

We all break out in laughter as well, not even realizing that everyone is staring right now. Yeah, we really are noisy.

"Hey, where are you going on vacation?", Shen Shenmi asks, already on the next topic.

How can she switch that fast? Huh, how?

"Oh, no, sorry, wrong question, I guess you can't go on vacation, right?", she corrects herself.

"Yeah, you're right, I'm at vacation at home.", I reply with a weak smile.

It was fun together with mom and dad. We were somewhere in France, Italy or so. Our next trip would have been to Japan, but things came different. I even tried to learn the language a bit! I still know a little...

"You're lost in thoughts again.", Mei Mian whispers near my ear.

"Oh, sorry.", were they talking to me?

"What are you thinking all the time?", Shen Shenmi wonders. My, she looks confused.

"My parents.", I simply replay.

"What about them?", they ask united.

"Nothing."

"There is something!"

"Nah, I don't wanna speak about it."

"You're looking so sad. It remains me of our first meeting.", Mei Mian comments.

"Is that so?", I mumble. That might be so... well,better not.

"Kuai Kaiwen? Do you have time tomorrow after school?", Shen Shenmi leads our conversation in another direction again. How can she think like that, in such a chaos, but be great in maths at the same time? I don't get her!

"Ah, I wanted to clean the whole house tomorrow, but if I can finish it today, then we can see.", I lie, trying to make an excuse for the agency with all that "say-if-you-go-out-and-do-something-out-of-the-agency" stuff, crap, shit, whatever you wanna call it. It's just annoying.

"You know, Mei Mian and me, we go on vacation together. And we need to do some shopping for that. And since we can't take you with us on vacation as well, because we already booked and such, we thought we could have some time with you before that.", Cindy explains.

"You're going together? I thought you go as a family and not with friends."

"No, you can do both.", Mei Mian says something again.

"Never thought both was possible.", I say sacastically. Here I'm gonna learn something, I guess. In my 5 years (Or 3, it fits as well, because then it really got extreme) of life I wasted in being all to myself and never speaking to anyone if not needed I missed to learn how to live my life properly, so I have to catch up with it now, I guess.
