Winter to Spring

There wasn�t much that went on that year. My mother had turned chatty and really perky to the point that it crept me out. But, she meant well, I hoped. As for the twins, I have seen them around. Haruka still looked hatefully at me, and Juriko continued to string me along. I still didn�t know what exactly her motives are for me, but still I followed her around like a little dog. I couldn�t explain what it was with her, but I just kept on coming back to her.

So in other words, nothing had changed. Everything was still the same in our lives. Nothing was ever going to change in our boring little neighborhood. Everything will stay the same until we die. Or rather, that was my belief until the next year changed everything for all three of us.
