Chapter Text
it was the break of morning as special week got up.
"Good m-"
Oh right.
Suzuka was still In America, still far away from special week.
Special week could only look yearningly at the empty bed, looking at it as if it was missing something, as if it was out of place.
And something was missing, suzuka was, and had been missing.
For 4 months by now.
4 months of pure misery for special week.
Yet the only thing she could do was just get ready for school.
So she slipped on her uniform, grabbed her things, shoved a carrot in her mouth, and headed out.
Usually her and suzuka walked to the academy area together, and special week still wasn't used to walking alone.
So instead of making herself look insane (again..) by talking to herself, she just started running to the academy.
Eventually, special week made it to the academy, exchanging a few waves and words while on the way to class.
The problem was inside the classroom, usually special week can focus- atleast if she tries, and she usually does try!
She doesn't zone out as often anymore.
But today must have been particularly bad because she found herself not being able to focus at all.
The only thing she could actually think about? Suzuka, what was she doing where she was? Was she happy? Was she happy without special week?
Did she miss special week as much as special week missed her?
She didn't want to think about that question much more, and she didn't have to because soon that train of thoughts was interrupted.
" special week? Are you listening?"
Her head shot up pretty fast, she didn't wanna risk making a fool over herself..
"Yes ma'am!"
"Good, what's the answer to question 29?"
Shoot.
"Eh.. The horseshoe helps horsegirls run.. Faster?"
Special week only realized right after saying this.
That this was science class.
By looking down at her book, which was in fact, her sciencebook.
The only thing that came out was a sigh from the teacher.
" please listen to the lessons, special week. "
Special week could feel the heat of embarrassment rushing to her face as she struggled to mutter out a " y-yes ma'am.."
Embarrassment coating her words as she speaked.
...
After another 30 tortuous minutes, class was finally over, all special had to do was training now.
Which she was good at- atleast she knew she was good at it.
She focused the most when training, I mean how could she become the number one racer in Japan without it.
She was sure training would definitely go better then class was.
Until it didn't.
She messed up on almost every training that their trainer made them do everyday.
Doing a run with the others? She was behind by almost 2 feet.
And whenever she was timed, she would always get a time that reminded her of when she first got to tracen academy.
She seemed to just suddenly be weaker and more slow today.
But- why?
Slience suzuka had been on her head all day- and she realized it'd been this way for the last few weeks.
She had been fine before March, late March.
When she had gotten last place in a race everyone was accepting her to win.
The race suzuka had been happy to see her in.
It all started then, it all started when she saw the disappointed face suzuka had.
Suzuka supported even then, but special week knew the way she felt.
So why was she suddenly getting even worse?
If she was trying to make sure that wouldn't happen again why was she doing worse?
Her train of thought had been interrupted by a sudden voice.
"Hey spe chan, you don't seem the best today, are you alright?"
McQueen.
It took a second for special week to snap out of it and respond.
"A-ah- ofcourse! I just don't feel good today."
"Okay.. Well trainer-san said you could go home early, if you really weren't feeling well."
Special week felt kind of disappointed.
She wasn't used to being let off so early, it was odd.
" oh- okay!! I'll see you tomorrow then mcqueen - San!"
Special week quickly ran off beforemcqueen could respond.
She quickly changed out of her training outfit to her uniform.
Maybe she did want to go back to her dorm earlier.
Maybe if she had some time to herself she could clear her head.
Stop thinking about slience suzuka.
Really stop thinking about her.
As soon as she got to the dorm she didn't even spend a second thinking to change before just dropping harshly down onto her bed.
The tiredness hit her like a truck suddenly, it was probably from giving it her all the last few weeks.
Slience suzuka was still always in a corner of her head.
For some reason whenever she thought of her it felt like she was warmer, happier.
Even though she wasn't, even though suzuka had been the reason she'd be flunking everything lately.
what was wrong with her?
