Maybe it's in my bag? I'm probably overthinking, right?
Sakura looked in her bag to carefully check if the item she needed was in said bag, but sadly, no luck. She bit her lip nervously, beginning to tap her foot. She cleared her throat and raised her hand. Sakura spoke aloud;
"Excuse me, Miss? May I use the restroom?" Sakura hoped that she would be able to get a yes, or even a shrug that meant she was allowed. The teacher nodded and continued to instruct the other students on the current ongoing lesson.
Sakura smiled and left rather quietly, taking her excuse to use it as an opportunity to find her missing something.
As she silently roamed around the halls, she had an idea. She did remember that she ate her lunch atop the school's roof, so maybe it could be found up there! She just had to be quick, and not take up too much time to gain suspicion by her classmates or teacher.
After taking all of those stairs, and what felt like many minutes, she had reached her destination.
"Finally! Now I can-" Sakura stopped in her tracks, frozen.
While the sunset illumed the sky, a figure was standing at the edge of the roof, almost wanting to let gravity take them.
Surley this couldn't be happening, right?! Whoever this student was, she wouldn't let them commit this action.
Sakura's eyes widened at the student who was about to throw their life away. She shouted these words before she could even process anything else.
Even she herself was suprised that she called out to the student, but hopefully it would save their life..
"HEY, STOP! DON'T DO IT!"

These were the thoughts of Eris Everlast as she stood on the edge of the roof of the school. She had put up with her... family's... harsh ways and criticism around her for long enough. Her gaze lifted from the ground, so far below her, to the sun setting in the distance. The sunset was always pretty. It illuminated her pale snowy skin, her iridescent white hair, and highlighted her golden yellow eyes. Thin lips, painted blue, quivered lightly as she gazed outward. Her crisp clean white kimono with blue accents hugged her thin body, a hug that only it was ever kind enough to give her.
It was time... This was it... Eris took a deep breath. All she had to do was-
"HEY, STOP! DON'T DO IT!"
Golden eyes snapped away from the sunset to look behind. There. Someone was there?! But... She had planned this so perfectly. NO ONE was supposed to be around at this time.
A grimace formed on Eris's blue lips. Mission failed. How was she going to get out of this?...

"A-Are you crazy?! What are you thinking?! This isn't a solution to any problem...at all." Sakura now had a frown across her face.
This student must've had it rough if they were attempting to go out like this...
"Please...I don't know what could be troubling you enough to try this, but, it isn't worth it. It's not a good escape route.."
Sakura looked down a little, then looked back at the girl.
"Just...carefully come down. Trust me, you don't want to do this...it doesn't have to be this way.." She said.
Now that Sakura had witnessed this, she had completely forgotten about what she was going to do on the roof, too. What was more important was this student, and their wellbeing.
Thankfully she had made it in time before anything else could fall into a tragedy. If she didn't then this student would've been no more...
She waited on what the girl would do now, but was ready to spring into action, just incase.

"Please...I don't know what could be troubling you enough to try this, but, it isn't worth it. It's not a good escape route.."
It made Eris want to gag. This girl knew absolutely nothing!!! Eris turned to fully face the girl. "Not a good escape route?" Eris's voice was a little scratchy, as if she had been crying beforehand. "Not a good escape route?! This is the ONLY escape route!" She nearly snarled.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._
"Not a good escape route? Not a good escape route?! This is the ONLY escape route!"
"And I'm telling you it ISN'T! There are so many other ways to avoid this type of 'solution' to all your troubles. Do you know how many lives you would be traumatizing if nobody was here to stop you?!" Sakura was close to yelling, but calmed herself down.
"Again, I don't know what you went through, and I really don't know anything about you at all, but this way isn't it."
She took a small breath.
"Things can get rough, and it could feel like there's no other way out. But this way isn't going to solve anything. It will only make things worse with the others that witness your death, and you won't be able to overcome those problems once you perish."
Sakura sadly frowned once again as she looked at the girl.
"Please, just stop this. You don't know what you're about to do."

Sighing tiredly, Eris shifted. She got down off the ledge that bordered the school's roof.
"Fine. Have it your way..." She said, somberly. She wrapped her arms around herself, shuffling away from the border with tired eyes.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._
Sakura smiled sadly as the girl moved herself away from the edge of the roof.
Thank god, she was able to stop her. Sakura was momentarily proud of herself for being able to prevent this situation from happening, and was glad that the girl had listened to her.
She decided to get the girl's name. "Well, what's your name, if you don't mind me asking?" Sakura asked first.
After a few moments of thinking to herself, she decided to ask the girl more questions.
"Before all of...this...did you ever try to get help? Or talk to anyone at least?" Sakura said.
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 00:42 (1 Year ago)
"Well, what's your name, if you don't mind me asking?"
Eris blinked. Oh right, they were utter strangers. No harm... "I'm Eris. Eris Everlast." She said.
"Before all of...this...did you ever try to get help? Or talk to anyone at least?"
This made Eris sigh. "Of course. I tried telling neighbors, I tried telling other kids' parents. It never led to anything good..."

"I'm Eris. Eris Everlast."
...
"Of course. I tried telling neighbors, I tried telling other kids' parents. It never led to anything good..."
Oh...This made Sakura frown deeply. It seemed that this girl Eris was really going through it, then...
"I'm so sorry...also, if you don't mind me asking, what happened that made you think this was the way to go?"
Sakura knew that she was out of her classes for a longer amout of time now, but still, that wasn't important to her. But, would her teacher bring any administration to try and find her? She hoped not, well, not yet at least...
She felt sympathy for Eris, and so many others who could've, or have suffered the same fate as her if she didn't make it here.
For now, she focused on the poor dear..

"...if you don't mind me asking, what happened that made you think this was the way to go?"
Eris winced at this question. She did mind, thank you very much. Things had gone south before when she spoke about her situation. But this girl was being a lot more kind than anyone she knew... Maybe... No harm in talking, right?
"My... Family... Is the reason I was seeking this as a way out..." Eris said, bitterly. She rubbed one of her arms, accidentally causing the sleeve to shift.
There was something wrong with the flesh that was revealed under Eris's sleeve. A jagged patch of skin, angry red and pink in color. A wound, not quite new, yet not quite old either.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._
Her family was her reason for all of this? Possible abuse at home, or something like that...whatever it was, it still wasn't good either way.
"Family problems, huh?" Sakura sighed. "Once again, I'm so sorry..."
She noticed that Eris seemed to comfort herself in a way by rubbing on her arm. She didn't blame her, after a failed attempt, how else were you supposed to feel?
Sakura did notice Eris's sleeve that slightly shifted as she rubbed her arm. She didn't want to think much of it until she looked closely...
What was...?
There it was, the wound that had revealed itself to her. Sakura's eyes widened as she didn't keep her eyes off of the cut.
Did Eris also harm herself??? Or was it just some wound that was there? This made Sakura frown once more, as she looked at Eris again.
She momentarily visualied the wound in her mind, it didn't seem new, but not old either.
"Uhm, about that wound on your arm...Sorry if I seem to be asking a lot, but I'm just worried, is all.." Sakura managed to say.
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 04:06 (1 Year ago)
"Family problems, huh?" *sigh* "Once again, I'm so sorry..."
Why was she sorry? She had nothing to do with the issue...
"Uhm, about that wound on your arm...Sorry if I seem to be asking a lot, but I'm just worried, is all.."
Wound on her arm? What did she me- Eris's eyes snapped downward, to her hanging arm. Stars above! She had ruffled her sleeve! She quickly tugged the fabric back over her bare skin.
"Wh-wh-what about it...?"

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._
"Wh-wh-what about it...?"
This made Sakura slightky raise an eyebrow. By Eris's stuttering, it definetly meant something, all right...well, at lest to her, she could be wrong...
"I'm just wondering. How did you get hurt like that? We should go to the nurse to get it bandaged, leaving out won't do at all..."
What a day. Sakura never expected this to happen at all, but she did want to do her best to help Eris in any way she could. Unless the girl herself would allow such help to be given to her...
"Is this the only scar you have? Hopefully there won't be too much bandaging to be done, you know?"
Sakura felt like she was asking too many questions, but who wouldn't? Or was she the only one? Hopefully administration wouldn't come looking for her, assuming that she was skipping class and what not.
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 17:13 (1 Year ago)
"...How did you get hurt like that? We should go to the nurse to get it bandaged, leaving out won't do at all..."
"NO!" Eris shouted, backing up a bit. She coughed, realizing how harsh that was. "I mean... No need. I don't... Need any more bandages..."
"Is this the only scar you have? Hopefully there won't be too much bandaging to be done, you know?"
Eris paused at this question. What? Could she tell the truth...?
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 18:24 (1 Year ago)
_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._
...
"I mean... No need. I don't... Need any more bandages..."
Sakura flinched. Maybe the wound did have to do with something serious, then..
"Okay, then.." She managed to say, but then slightly paused. What did Eris mean by 'any more' bandages? Was she previously bandaged?? Sakura decided not to ask about that.
She did notice that Eris seemed to pause at her question about having any other wounds. Was she thinking about not deciding to say?
"If it's personal, you don't need to tell me. I understand. I'm just making sure you'll be alright. Does your teacher know you're out of class? Well, my teacher does, and if we're out here long enough, we could get caught. I don't want to stress you out more."
Sakura sighed a little.
"After all of this is over with, just please promise me you won't try to do this again. We all have our difficulties, but you're a young girl! There's a lot to live for, even when things seem like life isn't worth living at all." She said, saddened.
"If you need someone to talk to at all, or if you have nobody else to seek help for...I know we just met, but I can do my best to help you. Unless you accept my help, of course. There's many suffering, and I don't want you to lose your life because of your own suffering, you know?" Sakura gave a sad reassuring smile to Eris.
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 19:02 (1 Year ago)
Eris was a little skeptical at the girl's words. How could one girl do more than the adults had ever done? But something inside her told her to... believe this girl... Why did she feel this...?
There was nothing left to lose, though...
Eris gave a sad smile. "If you say so... Who knows? You might make a miracle happen..." She almost turned red at her own words. Why?!?
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 20:07 (1 Year ago)
_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._
Sakura let out a giggle. "Aw, you really think so? I try my best!"
She was glad that Eris decided to accept her help. Thankfully things went better than she had expected.
"Oh, I almost forgot..." Sakura pulled out a mini notebook from her right pocket, and a purple pen from her left. Opening the miniature book, she wrote something on it before tearing out the piece of paper and giving it to Eris.
"Here, it's my phone number if you ever want to chat. My name is Sakura, by the way. If you ever need to talk, a text or a call will do just fine." She smiled warmly at the girl.
"I'll do my best to help you through this, okay? You're not alone."
Before Sakura could say anymore encouraging words to help Eris, two staff members had come up on the roof.
Slightly flinching at the sound of the roof doors opening, she groaned a bit angrily. Perfect timing...
"Oh, great..." Sakura thought to herself, turning around to face the two adults. Just as she thought, they were caught...
With a sigh, one of the administrators spoke. "What are you two girls doing here at this time? Classes are almost over and your teachers have noticed that the both of you have not returned to your homerooms."
Sakura, not wanting to make things worse than they were before, decided to make up an excuse. Maybe not really an excuse, since it was her original plan beforehand..
"I had went to use the bathroom, but then I had remembered I lost one of my items on the roof. My friend was with me, luckily, to help me with my search. I apologize." She made up.
Sakura looked over at Eris a little, hoping she would play along in the little excuse. She had already helped Eris and talked her out of her previous actions, so adding onto it with two staff members wouldn't do...
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 21:43 (1 Year ago)
At least this girl, Sakura as she had introduced, was nice and gave a way to communicate between them... When Eris saw the two staff members, she winced a little. Her plot was unraveled so severely...
"I had went to use the bathroom, but then I had remembered I lost one of my items on the roof. My friend was with me, luckily, to help me with my search. I apologize."
Eris was a bit surprised. Sakura didn't mention the attempt at all, yet made it seem that they were both on the search for something of Sakura's. She nodded in agreement to Sakura's explanation. She would never admit to attempting such a taboo choice...

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._
"Alright, fine. Once you find whatever it is you need to find, you two go to your next classes. With all the time you wasted, the bell will sound soon." The second administrator sighed, before both adults took their leave.
Sakura watched as both of the staff members had finally left, sighing in relief.
"Finally..." She said with a grin. She turned her attention back to Eris.
"Luckily we played that off! But, we should get going to our classes. I'll see you around! I'm glad I was able to help you...remember, if you need anything, you have my number!" Sakura smiled warmly.
She decided to give Eris a comforting hug before leaving the roof, but then forgot something, again.
"Oh, right...I still need to look for...whatever it was I was looking for." Sakura giggled, a bit embarrased.
"Have you happened to see anything on the roof? It has a purple flower on it, and it's a circular shape...oh, yeah, my mirror! That's what I was looking for!" Sakura beamed, then face-palmed herself.
"Man, I'm such an idiot." She said, then turned back to Eris. "Did you see it anywhere before...you know..?" She didn't want to say it fully, not wanting Eris to be sad by the reminder, or too upset, in a way.
"If you didn't see it, we can look for it together! We just need to make it quick before the bell rings."
Posted: Tue, 21/11/2023 23:12 (1 Year ago)
Eris was thankful when the staff members accepted the excuse and left the girls. She sighed with relief...
"Luckily we played that off! But, we should get going to our classes. I'll see you around! I'm glad I was able to help you...remember, if you need anything, you have my number!"
Eris nodded, only to pause. But before she could get a word out, Sakura suddenly hugged her?! This shocked Eris into silence for several seconds. She was able to find her voice in the form of a giggle when Sakura left only to return mere seconds later.
"Oh, right...I still need to look for...whatever it was I was looking for..... Have you happened to see anything on the roof? It has a purple flower on it, and it's a circular shape...oh, yeah, my mirror! That's what I was looking for!"
A pocket mirror? Eris immediately turned her head and pointed. In the direction she was pointing, sat a bench and on the seat was a circular object with a purple flower.
