Chapter Text
I believed that the people of Kitakami were the only people that would care if I ever went missing,sure there might have been someone at Blueberry academy that might have cared about me but would it out of genuine care or pity or all pretend because if they truly cared they wouldn’t let some people shove me in my locker, call me names like cry-baby, little b######, a waste of space and so much more.
Honestly speaking I thought they were right for a while since I would always hide behind my older sister Carmine especially whenever people would come to visit Kitakami especially if they were from other schools. Probably out of fear of them being like the other students at Blueberry academy. But Carmine would be very over-protective of me to the point it felt suffocating and due to that I was also unable to make friends with anyone. Due to this I tended to go and visit a cave where it was rumoured that a fierce ogre would live in or at least according to the local legends of my home region. I sorta had a parasocial relationship with the ogre(which I had not even seen before) all because it was able to take on 3 Pokemon on its own, which may or may not have made me want to be like it for a long time.
My life changed the day another school came to Kitakami for a school trip. It was a slightly chilly morning as it was around September at that time frame. So I felt a bit of the cold wind caress my skin…before my sister barged in my room telling me that another school had come here in the region for a school trip and that we need to deal with them or annoy them to the point they leave. I woke up from my bed and groggily put on my clothes. After that I quickly followed my sister to where we ended up standing outside the Community Centre sort of being annoying in my opinion however that’s not the point. What changed my life was one of the students who had come along on the trip; The moment I laid my eyes on him I knew that I was feeling a new emotion for the first time and that emotion……was love.
