Chapter 4
Sorry

Chihiro's dad gave a knowing smile. "Alright, go on. Dinner's on the table when your done."
Chihiro grinned. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." She then went to her room and took out her homework. She glanced at her watch. She had about an hour to finish everything.
And there she sat on the floor, papers and books scattered across the carpet. It was going to be a long night.

The rays of the heartwarming sun slowly spilled into Chihiro's room and her peaceful heart-shaped face. She was sleeping after a night of homework and a struggle to not recall the conversation she had with Haku.
Chihiro was awake, but she refused to actually wake up. Her eyes were closed but her conscience flowed within the corners of her mind.
' Maybe Haku was just kidding around. Or maybe yesterday was all a dream. Maybe Haku isn't at our school after all. Haku could never forget me. Too many memories we had together. Aww, SHOOT!!'
Chihiro sprang out of bed, her eyes tinged with sleep but filled with realization. She had to do her essay!!
Essays in Chihiro's school are like tests. They took a lot if not too much of your grade. So not doing an essay is like failing a test. And Chihiro could not afford that.
Chihiro dressed up into her uniform, shouldered her bag, stuffed a granola bar in her pocket, and grabbed a pen and a notebook. She was too late to go into the backyard and wait until her thinking came to her,

Writing an essay and walking while trying to steal away a bite from a crunchy granola bar is hard work. Chihiro managed to scribble some thoughts down in an essay formation.
When she arrived at the maroon entrance of Ganahawa High School, she was a minute early. Chihiro stuffed the remains of her crisp granola bar into her mouth and opened the door.

Chihiro ran through the halls, one hand clutching her notebook and the other trying to prevent her backpack from falling off her shoulder. She entered the classroom just when the bell rang through the school.
She quickly sat into her chair, but not before stealing a glance of Haku (again looking verrry handsome in his uniform).

Chihiro couldn't focus on anything. Her mind wandered when she was young when she entered the Spirit World. How her knight in shining armor saved her from the creepy spirits that walked the streets.
But why or how did Haku forget her?? Was she not important to him as he is important to her?
Minutes passed.
Hours passed.
And before Chihiro knew it, it was lunch time.

"Uhh, Chihiro? Are you okay?" Kisa asked during lunch, one eyebrow raised in suspicion and concern.
Chihiro stared at the uneaten sandwich in her hands.
"Yeah. I'm just not hungry." She replied.
"Well, put that sandwich away cause somebody's coming over here to talk to you." Kisa giggled.
Chihiro swung her head to look at Haku (I mean seriously, who else?) walking towards them with a brown paper bag in tow and a crowd of swooning girls following close behind.
"Hey, Chihiro, Kisa. May I sit here beside you?" Kisa nodded with a high-pitched mm-hmm.
Haku's fan-club sat in a circle nearby, every second glancing at the man of their dreams.
"Chihiro, sorry about yesterday. Can I still walk with you today? I mean, I didn't mean to be so rude of accusing you of being a part of a non-existent joke to new students." Haku asked with a very slightly pleading voice.
And rude? Haku couldn't even be rude if he wanted to.
Honestly, Chihiro didn't know what to say. I pained her so much just talking to him. Maybe he'll remember the Spirit World today. But most likely he won't.
"No." Chihiro replied softly. "Not again."
