- Ikezawa Hanako - Saturday May 12th
- My Mental Diary: I'll Be Sure To Write It Down Later...
- -----------------------------------------
- Why did Lilly have to make me come to class today... she probably knows I can't focus on my work...
- ...but I guess she thinks that it's best that I try anyways. I don't know why I'm taking notes.. I just keep thinking about how I'm trying not to think... and Hisao answers almost all of the questions, I don't even need to pay attention to what I'm writing... I don't really-
- "Ikezawa? Do you know?"
- Oh no.. what's the last thing I put down... Don't stutter...
- Everybody's looking...please don't look...
- Why did he ask me, he knows I can't...
- "FE is... i-iron..."
- "That's right. Excellent work."
- I should leave... but they'll look at me again. I'll just keep writing, and... they'll look away soon.
- I hope I don't cry... stop it stop it...
- Finally the bell... my heart shouldn't still be beating this fast, it feels uncomfortable.... I need to go now I don't care if I'm the first one up. No one talk to me please... I need to find Lilly... I don't understand why they talk to me, just leave me alone please...
- -----------------------------------------
- She's not here in her classroom either? Why would she not go to our tea room... why didn't I see her in the hall... I'll try again and...try the library...
- "Ikezawa? Are you there?"
- Oh no, who is it?
- She's in... Lilly's class?... should I answer? I don't want to... but maybe she knows where Lilly is...
- "Y-yes..."
- "Oh good. I'm supposed to let you know that Lilly's going out for a meeting with other class reps. They'll be out for an hour or so."
- I think she's been waiting while I looked around the halls... and probably calling out to see if I was here...
- ...not see....
- "Thank... you...."
- I'll make my footsteps a little louder so she'll know I'm going... please don't say anything else.. you seem nice, thank you for waiting... I'm sorry...
- I'll go to the library then...
- -----------------------------------------
- This book is okay I guess, I don't really care... I keep catching myself trying to get into it...
- Stop... that... I don't want to think today... please just let me think about the story... please just not today...
- ...
- Who is-
- Hakamichi? No..oh no, not her.. she doesn't stop staring... but I have to look because she can't-
- A note?
- "Would you please help me with some quick computer work? You know how to use one, don't you?"
- If I say no then she'll... ...at least it should be quiet there... she's on her own right now.
- Do I just nod?...
- -----------------------------------------
- "These numbers from each class need to go into this spreadsheet. Do you understand?"
- I think this is what she wants...
- .... ....good... it's a little better when she smiles like that...
- I don't have to be scared...
- Don't have to be scared... just please stop looking...
- -----------------------------------------
- Okay, that was easy - oh... I didn't even think about...
- Mom...
- Oh no, how long has she been staring? Another note... this must be annoying for her...
- "That looks perfect, thank you."
- Please stop staring...
- Um...
- What does that look mean?... Is she worried about me?.. Do I look sad right now... if I smile she'll know I'm lying...
- What's she writing?...
- "How do you feel?"
- What do I do... talking like this would take forever..
- And I don't want to...
- I just want to read...
- ...
- ...
- Oh no, how long have I been sitting and thinking... What's she doing...
- Chess?
- She's probably very good, I wonder if I could... I'll just nod.. I guess.
- -----------------------------------------
- This is difficult... reading the library's chess books doesn't really help when you're actually against someone. She must play more often, too. I should probably keep her queen trapped there but.. I'll lose if I keep waiting, I should try to take it. But then if she moves that knight..
- ... huh?
- Why is she staring...
- "..."
- "Are you feeling alright?"
- I think that's what she's trying to say...just nod...
- I think she knows what I'm-
- Oh, because she's the student council president... she must have a file...
- Talking to people doesn't help, I'm still going to be thinking about-
- "..."
- "It's your turn."
- That's why I don't like to think about things like this, I can't...
- ...
- She's smiling again, I don't think I usually see her smiling, even though I don't look very often...
- Oh, my move... she left her knight there, I guess she's really determined. This probably won't work but I'll just attack the queen I guess, I can't beat her anyways...
- I just want to go...
- Where's Lilly...
- -----------------------------------------
- I knew she would win, but I did okay. I wonder if she was letting me do better...
- Is she setting them up again...
- "..."
- "Play again?"
- What do I do.. I can't tell her no, she'll want to know why, I'll have to write it, she'll ask and ask and I just want to go find Lilly. I want Lilly, why is this happening today, why won't she just let me get up and go, I did what she wanted. What's she-
- No, no, I can't cry, please stop, please stop, please stop...
- She's getting up... oh no, she knows I'm crying, please let me go home, mommy please... where's Lilly?
- "Lilllly...."
- -----------------------------------------
- I feel better... I can move...
- I'm glad nobody came into the room... even Lilly. I don't want her to be embarrassed of me... she doesn't have to always take care of me... And she doesn't like Shizune that much, if she came in on us when I was crying...
- I don't want her to let go yet, I wish I could be hugged more... it would make me feel better...
- ...oh, I wonder if...
- Where's the paper...
- "Did Lilly ask you to find me today?"
- "No. But I know about tomorrow, and I thought I'd try to help. It's my responsibilty to look after the class, you know!"
- Shizune is being so nice now... if she could be here every time that I...
- Would she do that? She's kind of acting like a mother actually, tries to help me feel better... a bit...
- ...I need to go before Lilly comes back. Maybe she's already back, how long have I been crying?
- Oh..
- "Are you going?"
- "Yes. Will you play me again tomorrow?"
- "Of course! You can bring Lilly, too. I promise I'll be nice. We'll order out some food, there's leftover money for it."
- We'll be able to play a lot since it's Sunday.
- I think.... it'll be fun.
