"Ashashi! come on, You'll be late to work!" Yells Yuki, shoving a piece of jam toast in her mouth and grabbing her bag. I follow her, grabbing my keys and hopping into the car with her. We both work at the dairy. Yuki is 16, while I am 18.
She screams at herself quietly for sleeping in. "dumb idiot, why didn't you set your alarm?" she whispers under her breath. I drive up to the employee parking and get out. Yuki's face is in a muddled mess as we walk in.
"you're late enough," says Haru, coming up to me and hugging me. Haru is my best friend. I've known him since kindergarten. Yuki quickly gets to work, stocking up the energy drinks and sweets on the counter. I sit down and have a Chat with Haru, casually catching up on the 2 days we hadn't seen each other.
Customers start pouring in soon after we started. busy as always, I was tied up with people all day, selling cans of energy drinks and scanning items until my arm went dead. Haru and Yuki were the same, Harus tired eyes watched as people flooded in and out endlessly. Yuki wipes her tired eyes and fixies her hair bow.
"God," she whispers to me, rolling her eyes as we walked to the lounge for a lunch break.
"I'm so tired, the people want too much from us" she sighs, eating her way through a sandwich from the staff vending machine. I grab some change from my pants pocket and get myself an energy drink and some honey roasted peanuts. Haru strides in with a smile on his face, Grabbing peanuts out of my hand and eating them.
"Haru! They're mine, you owe me" I say, punching him lightly on the arm.
"Ooo, Feisty," he teases, smiling. "I'll pay you back soon, don't worry" he laughs, patting me on the back. I was annoyed, He never did pay me back when he stole something from me, a pet peeve of mine. He was always so......
There's not a word to describe it. He made my blood boil sometimes, but he *was* a good friend, to be honest. Our lunch break finishes and we go back to work for the rest of the evening. It's usually not as busy during the night, but today it was ramped up and busier than ever. By the time we closed, I was ready to fall over and sleep. I checked the dimmed clock. 11:30 pm. I lock the doors and follow Yuki out the door to the car. The drive home is silent.
Yuki gets out first, grabbing her bag and walking up to her room silently. I sit down on the sofa and turn on the TV. I flick through the channels, one by one, and stop to watch channel 98. An advert pops up on the screen before me
"want to get revenge on your friend? Then we've got just the thing for you!," the smiling, suited man says, looking at me with direct eye contact. He walks over to a table, with a fork-type exorcism utensil.
"This is the Driller! Its basic steps are to find a friend, give them a tweak with the driller, and be done! you're friend i-S-s" The TV shutters and the advert closes. that static was louder than usual, and I couldn't close the channel. A disturbing image of a decapitated head and forearm showed through the static screen, and her Bloddy head speeds into the screen, a siren yelling noise coming from her mouth. I jump and turn the TV off. It didn't I spam click the off button with my finger, but nothing happens. Then all of a sudden it shows a video of Haru. He's walking around and sees.. Me? He walks over to 'me' and takes out a bag of empty peanuts, flinging it in my face. "oops!" sorry Ashie, that was meant to go in the trash!" he smiles, booping me on the nose.
"Oh, and I forgot to mention," he whispers.
"I killed your parents"
