The alarm went off.
Yuzu grunts and turn off the alarm.
Yuzu got up.
Yuzu hissed in pain from her arm.
Yuzu just ignore the pain and get ready for school.
Yuzu tip toed to the bathroom.
Yuzu showered then go to the mirror.
'Tch....look at you....you are so ugly....that's why mother hates you...' Yuzu looked at the mirror.
Yuzu went and grab a razor from a drawer.
Yuzu proceeded to slide the razor across her arm.
Yuzu hisses in pain.
'I deserve this....'.
Once she was done, she grab a first aid kit and grab a roll of bandages.
She wraps the bandages around her arm.
Yuzu went inside her bedroom and went to grab her uniform that was hanging on the wall.
Once Yuzu was done, she tip toed to the door hoping her mother didn't hear her.

Mei was at the front gate with her childhood best friend, Himeko.
They were guarding the gates.
Then Mei and Himeko spotted..
A blonde haired girl....
She was playing with her phone while walking.
"Who is that? Why is her hair blonde?" Himeko questioned and sighed.
The two student council went up the blonde girl.
Mei examined her.
She was taller than Mei.
She was wearing a light red button shirt, her school sweater is tied around her waist and she wears a blazer that is not even buttoned up. Her tie was a bit loose. She was also wearing short leggings, but her legs.....there was some bandages on her legs.
Mei examined the blonde girl's head.
Her hair was blonde and a bit short. She tied her hair to a small ponytail. Her eyes were emerald green but it's a bit dull and......she has three scars on her right eye.
'Another delinquent?' Mei thought.
Mei noticed her neck...her neck had a deep purple bruise and a large deep red scar. Mei was shocked.
She looked annoyed.
"May I have your student ID card please?" Himeko said.
The blonde handed out her student ID card with her left arm while the other hand holding her phone.
Her name was Aihara Yuzu.
Himeko was shocked but then continued to scold her.
"You are not allowed to dye your hair an unnatural colour, your button shirt needs to be white, you need to tie your tie properly, you need to follow the school rules!" Himeko said in a stern tone.
Yuzu looked irritated.
"Look. I'm f*cking new here, I don't f*ckin' know the rules here" Yuzu said annoyed. Himeko let out a small gasp. "Hey! Don't be disrespectful! Also you aren't supposed to bring devices here!" Himeko said irritated.
Yuzu just ignore her and continue to walk.
Many students were now watching them.
Himeko jumped in front of Yuzu.
"Give me the phone. Now" Himeko said in a demanding tone.
Yuzu then hides her phone inside her blazer's pocket.
Mei walked in front of Yuzu.
"Give me the phone" Mei said in a stern voice. "What if I say 'no'? Gorgeous~" Yuzu said bitterly.
Mei was irritated.
Mei walked closer to Yuzu.
Suddenly Mei start sliding her hands, she was sliding her hand across Yuzu's ass then to the torso.
Mei found the phone but....
Mei accidentally touch Yuzu's arm.
Yuzu reacted fast and pushed Mei a bit too hard but it didn't made her fall cause her arms now were in pain.
Everyone at the Academy gasps.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!" Yuzu yelled.
Mei was shocked. She saw that Yuzu's teeth were sharp.
Yuzu looked mad but in pain at the same time.
"HEY! HOW DARE YOU PUSH THE PRESIDENT!--" Himeko yelled but Yuzu quickly speedwalk to the academy.
Himeko quickly chase her.
Mei was left there. Yuzu's phone in her hands. Mei was shocked and a bit confused.
.
.
.
Himeko saw Yuzu went into the girl's bathroom so she went there to scold her about what happened earlier.
Himeko opened the door and saw....
Yuzu's arm, there were many cuts and bruises. She took off her bandages and redo it back again.
Himeko gasp.
Yuzu saw Himeko so she quickly fix her bandages and quickly speedwalk past Himeko.
"Don't you tell everyone about this" Yuzu whispered bitterly and left.
.
.
.
Yuzu grabbed her schedule and went to her first class.
Yuzu opened the door.
The teacher was still not there but.....SHE was there.
She sat at the front.
Yuzu just ignore her and went to her seat.
"Heya!" A girl with dark auburn haired and hazel eyes said.
Yuzu just stared at her, not knowing how to respond since no one had interact with her properly.
"not much of a talker huh? Well my name is Harumi Taniguchi! But you can call me just Harumin" Harumi said while held out her hand.
Yuzu looked at Harumin's hand.
Yuzu sighed and held out her hand shakily. She never shake someone's hand.
"Okogi Yuzu, call me Yuzu..." Yuzu said. She knows she's an Aihara now but just to be safe, she just used Okogi.
Harumin shakes Yuzu's hand and release it.
"Hey...you okay?" Harumin asked.
Yuzu nodded.
Then the bell rang.
"Well talk to you later Yuzu!" Harumin said.
Yuzu was suprised. She never had a friend for a long time.
.
.
.
Class was boring.
Yuzu was looking out the window, not paying attention to the class.
She already learn everything so she just ignored the whole class.
"YUZU! PAY ATTENTION AT THE BOARD!" The teacher yelled. Yuzu just simply turned her head towards the teacher. "WHY DON'T YOU COME HERE AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?!" The teacher yelled again.
Yuzu just sighed and got up from her seat. She walked towards the board.
The teacher gave her the chalk.
Yuzu quickly answer the question quickly.
The teacher was suprised.
"Okay...that is right.....but you should pay attention to class" the teacher said. "Tch.....whatever" Yuzu said and went to her seat.
Yuzu still wouldn't pay attention to class.
.
.
.
The bell rang.
It's lunch time.
"Hey Yuzu! Let's go to lunch!" Harumin said with a cheerful smile. Yuzu didn't smile back instead she nodded. "You totally wreck the teacher, why didn't you pay attention though?" Harumin asked. "I already learn all of that from my old school so what's the point to learn them again" Yuzu said. "Hmmm...you got a point.....well let's go to lunch!" Harumin said.
.
.
.
*time skip*
The bell rang meaning the school has ended.
Yuzu got up from her seat and pack her stuff.
She walks to the gate with Harumin. The two chatted a bit then Harumin wave goodbye to Yuzu.
Yuzu sighed and went to her apartment.
Yuzu walked slowly. Yuzu was in her thought, before she knew it, she's already in front of her apartment door.
Yuzu opened the door, took off her shoes.
But then....
Yuzu heard someone opened the door.
She quickly turned her head to see...
The girl from the morning.
Yuzu was shocked but didn't show it on her face.
She wanted to yelled at her but she was afraid of her mother.
Yuzu sighed and continue to walk to her room.
Yuzu saw her mother, sitting on the dinner table, looking at her.
Yuzu just continued to walk but then...
"Yuzu...come here" Ume said glaring at her.
Yuzu was shaking a little but just follow what her mother says.
The girl went inside.
"You have a little stepsister now....you take care of her..." Ume said bitterly. "Good afternoon mother..." Mei said. "Oh! Good afternoon to you too Mei! No need to be formal Mei!" Ume said cheerfully.
Yuzu was shocked. She never saw her mother like this before ever since Yuzu's father died.
Yuzu clenched her fists, her own mother....loves her stepsister but not her...
Yuzu was about to tear up but just hold it in.
Yuzu nodded and went to her bedroom.
Mei followed Yuzu.
Yuzu sighed and sat on her bed.
Yuzu took off her uniform but still wore her button shirt.
Mei wanted to say something but Yuzu already wore her towel around her waist and speed walk to the bathroom.
Mei sighed and took off her clothes.
.
.
.
Yuzu quietly took off all of her clothes and her bandages, she go get showered then got in the tub.
She was trying to relax but she can't. She was still thinking about why her mother was like that.
Then she heard the bathroom door opened.
Yuzu panicked cause she didn't want anyone seeing her bruises and wounds.
Yuzu quickly wore her towel and grab the fist aid kit.
Yuzu quickly passed Mei.
Mei was shocked, she saw Yuzu's arms....it was full if cuts and bruises....she could also clearly see the injuries at her neck, there were deep purple bruise and many cuts.
Yuzu quickly went inside her bedroom.
Mei stood there. She was....worried?
Mei stood there thinking then went to shower.
.
.
.
Mei got out and went inside the bedroom.
Mei saw Yuzu sitting on her bed.
Yuzu just sat there and did nothing.
Yuzu was wearing a dark red hoodie with black pajama pants with golden yellow stripes on it.
Mei wore her clothes and went to prepare her bed.
It was silence between them.
Mei decide to broke the silence.
"Here...your phone..." Mei said handing out Yuzu's phone to her.
Yuzu's turned her head and quickly grabbed her phone.
Mei couldn't really see her face but she saw...tears falling?
".....I'm.....sorry..for pushing you...you...touched me so I reacted fast" Yuzu whispered but Mei could hear it. Mei shook her head. "No....you are still new....I shouldn't have done that.." Mei said. Yuzu just nodded and laid on her bed.
Mei did the same, she laid in bed and turned to Yuzu. Yuzu's back was facing her.
Mei sighed quietly and slowly drifted to sleep.
