Ghost School

Izumi's Life: Early Bullying

*

During the day, I just sit in my room reading a book.

I glanced at the window and looked out.

"Sunny weather. I'd better take a walk outside" I thought

I went out too.

While circling the park, I accidentally cross paths with Kirian, Rio, and Rusen who are playing.

"Huh? What the fuck? We're not asking you to play!" Rio said cynically

"Rio~ Your words are very rude" Rusen said

"No matter!"

"He seems to hate me a lot" I thought

"I... Just want to take a walk. I'm going to go now"

I also went somewhere else for a walk. As I grew tired, I saw a big tree on the edge of the garden, and sat down under it.

I thought of drawing conclusions from me who lived from last night until now in the Hazuki family home.

"Mr Hazuki wasn't that bad to me. At least, here I am better than at the Foren residence. And even though Rio hates me, it is still better than being bullied by all the classmates" I thought

"Was... Is my life gonna be better?" Thought

I was so innocent at the time. Once given a little kindness immediately feel happy.

No. gabe...

Because I was desperate for life, so as soon as someone was being a little kind to me, I became dependent on him.

And that was one of the fatal mistakes of the many mistakes I made.

The next day, Mr. Hazuki took me, Kirian, Rio, and Rusen to enroll in First High School.

It was a prestigious school for the children of high-ranking people, so I was a little wary because surely one of them recognized me.

"Tests will begin next Monday. So prepare each of you" said a teacher

"Good"

We came out of the room and met a boy.

"Oh! Ian, Rio, Ruu! It's a good time to meet here" he shouted

"Eru, are you in school here too?" Ask Kirian

"Yes. The principal here is papa's friend, so papa told me to go to school here"

"You didn't say you wanted to go to school here before!" Rusen ngambek

"Sorry, sorry. I'm forgetfulness"

"By the way, where's uncle?" Ask the boy

"Papa's waiting in front. Didn't you see it?" Ask Kirian

"No, I didn't see it"

The boy was Hazuki Maeru, commonly called Eru. Maeru's father was Lord Hazuki's older brother. So Maeru is a cousin of Kirian, Rio, Rusen, Akihito and Akane.

Maeru has orange hair and green eyes with a middle-sided bangs. With the same Primary School uniform as Kirian, Rio, and Rusen, he chatted casually with them.

Maeru glanced at me.

"Hm? Who is he, Ian?" Ask Maeru

"The son of Arato's family, and now papa is his guardian"

"He's adopted?" Ask Maeru

"Please take it that way"

Maeru walked over to me.

"Hi, I'm Hazuki Maeru, Ian's cousin"

"Arato Izumi" I answered briefly

"How old are you?" Ask

"Will be 9 years old"

"9 years? That means you're my cousin's sister, dong? I'm going in 12 years"

"I'm Arato, not Hazuki" I replied

"It's just a matter of name. The fact that you were adopted by uncle hasn't changed, which means you're my cousin's sister too"

"Hopefully in the future we are more familiar~"

Maeru looked at me deeply while smiling which made me feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, not long after that, Mr. Hazuki arrived.

"What's gathered here? Let's go there for the next process" said Mr Hazuki

After registration and doing various other things, we returned home during the day and parted ways with Maeru.

As soon as we got home, bad news came.

A waiter hurriedly ran over to the car we were riding in as soon as we arrived.

"Great master, great master!!" Yells

Mr. Hazuki lowered the windshield and pulled the waiter over.

"What's wrong?"

"Mrs! The Madam's condition is getting worse, big sir. We just got word that Madam is critical!!" Yells

In a hurry, Mr. Hazuki immediately told us to go down and go to the hospital.

"You guys gettin' down. I'm going to the hospital now"

Mr. Hazuki that night did not return home at all because of concern for his wife.

The condition of her five children also looks bad because they are worried about the state of their mother.

The five of them became more often locked themselves and did not play.

"Hiks... Older brother... Mamma... Mom how? Kane wants to see mom..." He muttered while sobbing.

I can understand their feelings, because I am also in a position similar to them. Our mothers are all struggling with their illnesses, of course we can't calm down.

But problem...

Buk up!

"This is all because of you!! Mama was fine before, but as soon as you came, Mama was critical. You are the bearer of disaster in this family!!" Shouts Rio

I can't understand what I had to do with coming to Hazuki's house with their mother being critical.

Just because I happened to come there along with their mother to be critical, I just got blamed.

Kirian and Rusen, who had not cared much about my presence before, now started looking at me cynically.

"I... Didn't do anything..." Mumbles

"I really care what you do?!" rio shouted and hit me back.

Afterwards Rio instantly gripped the collar of my shirt.

"You're a person who was not expected to be here at all. So you better shut up!" He screamed and pushed me away.

Rio just left. While Kirian and Rusen only glanced at me at a glance and then went with Rio.

That was the beginning of their violence.

*

5 Days later, on my 9th birthday, Mrs Hazuki passed away because her surgery failed.

"Hiks... Mama...!!"

They all cried hysterically as soon as their mother's body was brought home.

Although I had nothing to do with them, I was also sad.

Starting from the death of Nyoya Hazuki, this family was divided.

"it's all because of you! If you weren't around, mama wouldn't be dead!!" Shouted Kirian while pointing at Akihito and Akane

"If only mom hadn't given birth to you, even now you're healthy!!" Further

Since then, the twins' relationship with their sister has deteriorated. And as an impingement, I got dragged into it too.

"You really are the bearer of curses!! could your mother die to coincide with your birthday?! You really are the unlucky bearer in this family!" Shouted Rusen

The children are also divided into 3 groups. The first group is the dominant group, namely Kirian, Rio, Rusen, and plus Maeru who continue to stick to Kirian. Group 2 is a neutral group that does not support anyone, namely Akihito and Akane, then the last group, namely myself, which is the subject of their torture.

Ever since Madam's death, those led by Kirian started bullying me at home.

In the morning after Hazuki's death, when we had breakfast, Mr. Hazuki did not come because he was still saddened by the passing of his wife. Breakfast was just six of us.

As I sat on the chair I was in, I saw on my plate a dead lizard clearly displayed.

Just looking at ordinary food I was nauseous, especially plus there was a dead lizard that made me even more nauseous.

"Ugh..."

My reflexes instantly shut my mouth to keep me from vomiting.

"I... Excuse me first because I'm not hungry..." Mumbles

"What's? You keep passing the breakfast. You don't appreciate this family?" Rio's asking while looking at me cynically

"I want to go back to my room now...." I muttered and then got out of the chair

"Hey!" Shouted Kirian and immediately held me back

"You don't eat anything at all. Eat up!"

"No... I'm not hungry" I muttered

"Not hungry doesn't mean you can't eat, right? Eat the breakfast that has been served! Chef will be sad to see you don't eat the food he made!"

Kirian immediately took my plate which was still filled with dead lizards, then fed me the food.

"Fast eat!"

"Ugh..."

I reflexively wanted to spit out the food, but Kirian immediately closed my mouth.

"Compose well, then swallow. Don't you know how to eat?" Ask

I continued to rebel, but my body was held back by Rio and Rusen until I could no longer move.

"Quick eating! Spend everything!" Kirian

Kirian continued to feed me the food even though I continued to rebel and did not open my mouth.

"You're a real hassle!"

Kirian violently opened my mouth forcibly and stuffed my mouth with the food until the lizard was eaten.

"Don...."

My tears flowed without me knowing. I couldn't help it anymore and was about to vomit, but Kirian kept my mouth shut.

"Take everything! I told you not to leave anything!"

I had to swallow it back.

After that they let me go, and I ran straight to the toilet.

"Toy... Eghh... Hoek..."

I regurgitated it until my throat and stomach hurt.

In the middle of me throwing up, the three of them came back to me and doused me with ice water.

"The sea of your face looks bad, so we tried to water you using ice water to keep you refreshed" Rio said

"Eeh~ But Rio, it looks like the ice water is still not working" Rusen said

"Do you need to try hot water?" Ask Rio

"Papa will know when you see the blister wound on him if you use hot water" Rusen said

"Yes, it's none of our business. Let's go"

"It's so good~"

The three of them left me cold.
