Chapter 3

After been rejected, the world had just turned upside down for Hime as she returned home during the downpour without relying on an umbrella. Her summer vest gradually grew heavier as it filled with water, and her drenched blouse clung to her skin. Thanks to the rain, however, all traces of her crying were erased.

By the time Hime's body had started to grow cold, she had arrived at her home and entered the house, she made her way to the bathroom while leaving a trail of water on the floor, and looked at the mirror.

As expected, Hime's face was a mess. her eyes were still red from wiping the tears. Of course, her expression was gloomy even without her doing anything.

While inspecting herself in the mirror, Anya's previous words replayed in the back of her head.

"I shouldn't be the one standing next to the perfect Hime-san."

But Hime doen't think of herself as perfect. However, Anya apparently sees herthat way, and this is why she rejected her.

Honestly, She does not like her own face. There's nothing I would want to fix, and only grateful for her mother that she gave birth to her as she did. However, for this one moment, She cursed the face that looked at her through the mirror. Because it was so perfect, her feelings were left unanswered.

Days passed and Hime was absent for week creating questions around the disappearance of the model student. No one knew where she stayed, except Anya who looked upset as she was at fault. As the class was going on, Anya couldn't forget the confession and regrets that she had made Hime sad. She got up and went to the staff room, where she went straight to the homeroom teacher

" Sister Yukari, I know where Hime.. I mean Ms. Kagura live. Please give me the handouts"

"Oh how thankful of you, please check on her if she's fine"

"Yes sister" said Anya as she recieved the handouts and thanked the teacher as she left the room.

"I'm coming Hime-Chan, I hope you forgive me"

On the Other side, Hime with unkept hair walks to the bathroom with bag like eyes still thinking of her rejection and looks herself at the mirror.

"It's your fault I'm perfect, it's your fault I live like this, It's your fault that Anya-San had rejected me, It's because if you I don't have many friends. I blame my parents who brought me up to their image. It's all my fault"

Hime screams continuously and looks her face at the mirror. Her hair was very long that covered her face. She was furious as it kept irritating her. She ran to her room and grabbed a pair of scissors and walked to the bathroom mirror as she holds her hair and otherside the scissors.
