Ghost School
Go With Izumi
Days passed and it did not feel like 10 days had passed since the semester break.
Tomorrow, on Thursday I intend to buy my school needs such as pens, books, and others.
So now I am talking to my parents.
"Pa, Ma, Yurin, go buy school supplies tomorrow, yeah"
"Yes. Want Mama to accompany? Mom and Dad are also on holiday"
"No, let Yurin alone go" I said
"If Mama goes along, she must have come home a long time ago because Mama mostly stopped by here to buy groceries or chat" I thought
"If you don't want to be with Mama, what about Papa?" Ask Papa
"No need, Yurin can be alone" I replied
"Papa didn't go much, but..."
I remember the incident when I was going to my friend's house for group work during Junior High. At that time, Papa drove me on a motorcycle.
Ngeeeeeeeeeee!
"Papa's speeding too fast!!"
"What's wrong. Yurin just hold on the strong one"
As soon as my friend's house...
"Tomorrow..."
It was the first and last time I was driven by Papa on a motorcycle.

"If you go with papa, surely Papa will speed up to the point that I become nauseous. Going with Papa is like an adrenaline test. So it's better not to" I thought
"Yurin is already big. And again it's been 6 months Yurin not with Mama Papa, so don't worry" said I
Mama and Papa sighed with slightly sad faces.
"Yes, Yurin we've grown up. Mama wants Yurin to be small and cute again without thinking about anything and just enjoying happiness" Mama said and hugged me
"Aduuuh~ Why is it suddenly like this?~ That can't happen~" I said
"Because Yurin's grown up, so it's okay for Yurin to go alone"
"No, Mama will come!" Say firmly Mama
"Well, I'm sure I'm going to buy school supplies that have run out, but I want to go alone. Since it seems like it will take a long time if I persuade her, I better find an excuse to finish quickly" I thought
"Actually... Yurin had made a pact with a friend to go together" My murmur was clear
"Friends?" Ask Mama and Papa in unison
"Yes, man..." I answered a little panicked
"The color I'll go with him, there's no way Mama or Papa will come along. So let Yurin go alone"
Mama and Papa were silent for a while, then they finally allowed me too.
"Okay, but be careful"
"Yyaaaa~"

In room....
"You're really gonna take that girl away?" Ask Izumi who is sitting next to me
"You mean Yui? Sure didn't. It's just my excuse to go alone" I replied casually then turned the page of the book I was reading.
"Where did you learn to lie to your parents?" Izumi asked a little seriously
"Eitherway. They were worried a little too much. I've been fine during my breakup with them, so there's no other way but I'm a little bit of a lie, right"
"You know it's not good to lie? How about you do what you say?"
I was a little confused and immediately turned to look at Izumi.
"What do you mean...." Mumbles
"!!!!"
A second later, I realized the meaning of Izumi's words.
"You understand, right?" Izumi asked with a sly smile
"No, no, no, no!! I don't want to go with you anymore!!" Shouted
"All I know is, your best friend whose house is closest to you is just that woman. Other than her, there is me who is a ghost, who can go anywhere and have a free time"
"You don't want to interrupt the time, do you? Then the answer is just to go with me"
"No way!! From the beginning my plan went alone! After all, you're the spirit leader, how can you throw your responsibilities at your subordinates?"
"While it looks like that, I'm actually doing my job"
"To make a pact with a large territory, to observe my subordinates when I am not in place, to protect you who are bound to me, and lastly most importantly... I can finally have fun" Izumi said with a bright smile
"You look like a greedy boss who just wants to hire your men and pay them a small salary" I muttered
"Yurin, you don't know just how much I've been doing all this time for my subordinates and territory all along. If you look again, my break time alone is not worth my efforts"
"...." - ".I fell silent
"The air around here instantly turned cold. I'd better turn the conversation the other way before the atmosphere gets worse" I thought
"Well, anyway I'll go alone. You just do what you have to do"
"Yes, and the thing I'm gonna do is come with you~"
"You don't have to come, Izumi"
"Couthful. If you don't allow it, I'll just go back inside your body"
"...."
"All right..."

The next day, at 10 a.m...
"Be careful, Ririn. Don't come home too late" Mama said worriedly
"Yes, Ma. I'll be home as soon as~" I replied as my hand waved softly.
"Enak once, got more attention from the old man" said Izumi casually who was now standing beside me.
I glanced towards Izumi.
"Think of it, Izumi said her father died when she was a child. Then his mother was very sick too. Although Izumi's words just now sounded like a joke, but it seemed that inside the bottom of her heart also felt like that. Anyway, Izumi in front of me right now is still a 14-year-old boy" I thought
I looked back into Mama's eyes.
"Then Yurin goes first Ma"
*
While on the way, Izumi entered my body without me noticing.
"Hmmm... Doesn't matter if I say this, huh?" Thought
"On what? Just say it" Izumi said which made me a little surprised
"Izumi!! I told you not to get in my body!" Thought I screamed
"OK, okay. But tell me what you want to say first. There's no way you're saying it straight out of your mouth. The driver will feel weird about you"
I thought for a moment, considering whether I should say it or not.
"Izumi, do you miss your father?" Ask to doubt
"No"
"Then, your mother?" Ask me back
"That's not it either" Izumi replied spontaneously
"Didn't you love your mother?"
"Yes, but for now I don't miss him. My mother is also alive and I can still see her at any time" Izumi replied
"So now you don't have any feelings for your parents?" Much
"Yes" Izumi answered briefly
"But you look like a child who wants to get the affection of parents, plus, right... Eem, your parents' condition is not good. I was a little surprised by your answer"
"Hahahaha, do I look like that? Looks like I have to show you my evil spirit to get rid of such thoughts"
"Alright, alright. Don't show me something so horrible. By the way, get out of my body fast, we're almost there"
Slowly, Izumi appeared and sat down beside me.
"Haah, it is more comfortable to be outside, although it is actually quite comfortable in your body" Izumi murmured and leaned on the back of the car seat.
"...." - ".I was silent for a moment
"Although it seems unacceptable I said so, but Izumi did not deny my words and only slightly bluffed" I thought
"Izumi is full of mysteries. Until now I still can't guess what Izumi's heart is like. Though at first I thought he was a child whose heart was quite easy to read because of his annoying behavior and a little childish. But the more I knew him, I felt like the thing I saw from him was just a drop from the water in the river" I thought
I was drowning in my own thoughts. But the daydream broke because the driver stopped his car.
"Miss, we've arrived" he said
"Thank you"
I paid for the ride, and got out of the car with Izumi.

Inside the stationery store...
"Hmmm..."
I've been at the store for a few minutes, but I'm still confused about which one to buy.
"Izumi, which one do you think I should buy? This one or that one?" Whisper me while pointing 2 pens with different brands.
"As far as you. You used it, but why ask me?" Izumi ketus
"I know this one's good to use, but I just saw a pen with that brand, so I was a little curious. So I was thinking of asking for your opinion" Whispered me
"You better buy a pen that's definitely good to use. That way, you won't be disappointed after buying it" Izumi said
"yes too. Then--" then"
Nah!
My speech was interrupted, because my hand accidentally hit someone's hand beside my right when I wanted to take the pen.
My reflexes immediately looked at him.
That person is a man who is more or less like me. Have gray black hair and green eyes. He looked handsome and cool coupled with the black jacket he used.
"Ah, sorry...." I muttered while pulling my hand back
The man glanced at me at a glance, then left after picking up a box of pens that I also wanted to buy.
"What's wrong? You look upset" said a woman not far from the man. The woman had long gray-black hair and green eyes, similar to the man.
"No, it's nothing" replied the man, then went with the woman.
"Twin boys?" Thought
"Well, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I apologized to her, even though it wasn't entirely my fault" I thought then picked up a box of pens I was going to buy and turned to Izumi.
"!!!"
I'm shocked.
"Izumi?" Mumbles
Somehow, Izumi looked so angry, that her eyes were now red in color and her hands clenched tightly to the point of shaking.
