Boom!

And that's when I once again fall off my bed. Sighing, I try to unwrap myself from my blanket as I struggle on the floor. Finally getting out, I stand up and give out a good stretch and yawn feeling quite tired. Yesterday's visit to the house wasn't that...interesting. Looking around, I find my usual looks of my apartment that I'm living in all by myself. Dragging myself to get ready, I begin my new day not knowing what might and will happen. Changing my life, destroying my life, or bringing light to my life.

~~~~~

My eyes look up at the sky as I still feel the sadness from yesterday. All that unknown hatred from my two brothers stick to me like glue nearly getting me to cry. I wonder what changed? Me or them?

Putting on my usual smile, I skip down the stairs of my school as I look around. Looking around, I still can't find any familiar people I know getting me to rush off again. Entering a class all of a sudden, I smile brighter finding a really familiar face.

"Aniki!" I cheer getting Ren to face me to also get him smiling along with his friends around him.

"Akira!" He gives me a hug as I rush over to him getting his friends to chuckle at our same routine,"So what has brought my dear sister here to visit me?"

"Uncle wants me to inform you that he won't be home tonight so it'll only be you, Alto, Rune and me! Do you have anything you want to eat tonight?" I chirp getting him to be even more excited.

"Steak. Steak. Steak. Steak. Steak." he repeats getting me to giggle.

"Okie dokie. We'll be having steak today then! I'll go to the grocery after school then." I report.

"Want me to come along?" he suggests getting a shaking head from me.

"It's fine. It's only grocery. Nothing that special!" I wave my hand not getting him to worry about me.

He sighs ruffling my hair,"I still can't believe how fast my shy little sister has grown."

"Everyone has to grow eventually, Aniki." I roll my eyes playfully.

"And I still can't believe how Akira is still more mature than you Ren!" Jazz chuckles getting a whine from Ren and laughs from his friends.

Smiling, I glance at the time and panic,"Ah! I have to go and inform Alto about this too!"

"Be careful!" Ren shouts as I run out of his class heading to my oldest brother's classroom.

Running down the hall without any teachers nearby, I stop in front of Alto's class getting me to slide the door open a bit and peek in. Students surround different groups as I scan the place hoping to find Alto. Finding him in the biggest group, I hesitate to enter as I really don't like a huge group like the one he has. Before I could perhaps tell another student to tell my brother the information, his eyes meet mine getting them to sparkle.

"Akira!" he cries happily passing through the crowd around him to just hug me tightly getting me to struggle in his grasp.

"Alto, please let me go!" I whine as I get a few chuckles and glares around the class.

Did I also mention both my brothers are very popular and they are in the idol class? Meaning we're suppose to be apart and different but since we're family, how can we change so easily? A few times I'll come to their class to get smiles from people who know me very well because of my brothers or I'll get glares from students that don't know me. Even so, I ignore them as I want to spend as much time as I can with my friends. Finally letting go me, I dust myself off before giving out a smile to him getting him to almost hug me again but his best friend holds him back. He has black hair and black eyes as he always keep silent, no one has ever heard his voice ever since Grade 3 since his parents divorced.

"Hi, Kite!" I greet getting a quiet nod from the boy too.

"So, Akira. What brings you here?" a girl asks cheerfully.

"Uncle wants me to tell you that he won't be home tonight so it'll only be us!" I report without noticing I made it sound cute getting a few of the girls to squeal.

"Yay! I get Akira all to myself and I don't have to share it with the old man!" Alto blesses happily getting me to sweat-drop.

"That's all I really wanted to say. I should be going back to my classroom now~! Bye! Bye!" I head out of the class waving away from them getting waves back.

Running down the hall again, I start heading back to the regular department. A smile plasters on my face as I can't wait for tonight. All the happiness I'll be feeling.

~~~~~

Is what I thought.

My eyes were wide as I touch the red part of my face tears at the brim. Alto in front of me looking down at me with hatred. Hatred. He never looked at me like this. Never. Behind him was Ren, who also glares at me. They have never looked at me like this. Never with hate. Before Rune can ask why Alto smacked me as he was standing behind Ren who was holding him back, Alto begins screaming.

"HOW COULD YOU! I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS, AKIRA! TO THINK I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST AN INNOCENT LITTLE SISTER OF MINE WHO IS ACTUALLY JUST A CRUEL B****!" He shouts as the tears finally come down.

"Wh..what do you mean?" I stutter as the grocery bags have dropped beside me.

"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO JESSICA! EXPLAIN TO ME RIGHT NOW! IF NOT I WILL DISOWN YOU AS MY SISTER!"

"I never did anything to Jessica! I don't even know who she is!" I scream back in full confusion.

He smacks me again,"THAT WAS YOUR LAST CHANCE. IF YOU DON'T TELL ME, AKIRA ANDREA AKIBARA, I WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THIS HOUSE!"

"I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!" I finally scream with all I got.

"THAT'S IT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" He points to the door as I get ready to protest but his anger releases more,"OUT! NOW!"

And that's when I obeyed. As I can't do anything. Crying with tears that never stopped flowing as it comes down my face, I run out of the house never looking back.

~~~~~

My eyes open after remembering the memory. And without me noticing, I was crying. I chuckle. And to think that I said I will not cry again about this. How can I not? It's too heartbreaking for me. Crying in my knees, I cry and cry without stopping. That's when the speaker turns on.

"Akira Akibara, please come to the Principal's office."

I sigh getting me to get up from the ground of the sakura trees. Yes, once again I'm here. It's the only place where I can have privacy and don't need to hide my brave mask. Taking deep breathes, my mask is placed on top as I start heading to the school.
