Shaymin. Was at the garden. Again. I don’t know why, but every time I see Shaymin at the garden something weird happens. Either it’s because of my clumsy weirdness around her, or maybe it’s just something around Shaymin, I really don’t know. This time she was playing with game cards. Another thing I don’t know is the fact of, why I sit beside her at all after all the weird stuff that happened previously. So, I took a seat and silently watched as she shuffled cards in various ways.

“I knew you’d be back~” Shaymin said, lifting her gaze to look in my direction.

“Uh, yeah, and I knew you’d be here too, hooray.” I replied sarcastically.

“Are you not happy to see me?” she tilted her head, clearly offended by my sarcasm.

“Um no, I mean yes, no wait that’s not what I intended, um-Wait, how are you still managing to smile after I’ve slightly offended you, what the hell?” I stuttered a million times in my sentence then randomly asked a weird question to make up for that broken sentence. I’m a real idiot sometimes, ugh.

“Hmm, you wonder about my smile?” Shaymin asked, while also chuckling at my clumsy sentence.

“Yeah, uh, you smile all the damn time, and it’s weird.!” I told her, trying to continue the topic so I wouldn’t look like an idiot.

“I guess when a lot of stuff happens to you, you forget how to show your emotions to the world.” She replied with an answer I didn’t expect.

“But clearly I can read them. When Lilith was being a jerk you did show some annoyance, then I could tell Crimson was also getting on your nerve..” I explained. Shaymin froze in her actions and placed the game cards down.

I continued, “Then the first time we met at the garden your smile nearly faded away when you were talking about a fight and-” then I was suddenly cut off.

“You can read behind my smile~.?” She asked looking me in the eyes.

“Yes! And clearly I can see you’re happy about it for some reason!” I answered, what I got next was something I didn’t expect.

She pulled me into a warm hug.

I panicked for a moment, wondering what got into Shaymin’s mind at that point. But, I could tell, the way she wrapped her arms around me tightly, clearly indicated she finally found someone who understood her, after being misunderstood for years. I heard Shaymin softly whisper, “Thank you, friend.”

I felt small droplets of something fall onto the back on my sweater, I wondered, (was she crying?) Shaymin then pulled herself away, her hands still held onto my shoulders. Her head was facing down, so I couldn’t actually tell then, if she was crying, I was wondering if it was dew falling from the leaves of the old tree above us, but it hadn’t rained recently. Shaymin removed her hands off my shoulders and looked at me again, her eyes looking like purple bubbles of water. She really was crying. “You are friend, yes~?” she asked, giving me a true, warm smile, to which I replied, “Of course!~”

This happened 2 days ago, and I’ve stuck by Shaymin since then, even V’s been sticking around her too, which of course, Crimson doesn’t like much, but she is kind of warming up to Shaymin now. She doesn’t show her trust much around her and denies it a ton, but she also doesn’t show much annoyance to her either, so I know she is beginning to get along pretty okay.

We’ve been having conversations every so often now. During break time now, Crimson, V, and the rest of the group all come to the garden now to relax. We even made up a rule to hang around everyone’s favourite flower field in turns. We’re going to hang around V’s favourite flowers this week, and then Crimson’s favourite flowers the next, she’s pretty nice to be around when she’s among some of her most beloved things. In fact, when she’s around bluebell flowers, she’ll probably laugh to a few jokes V makes occasionally.

So here’s to a little update! I’ll drop another audio message again soon~ [click]

Audio entry 1-

I found Shaymin today in the garden again, sleeping under the shade old tree. I’m not being a creep or being gay, but I’m just gonna say it was real cute. She was curled up, one hand under her head, the other held a sunflower while also wrapped around her large, fluffy tail. But that wasn’t the cutest thing; her fluffy tail was held between her teeth, like she was taking a bite out of it; that was what actually made me go like, “Awwwwww~” . The air was pretty chilly, so I assumed she was doing it to keep her face warm, which was hella adorable. My hands scrambled into my pockets for my camera and I snuck a picture of her, with a “not so evil” intention of showing it to the squad. I left my belongings beside Shaymin, deciding to take a walk among the flowers while she slept.  After 10 minutes of admiring all the plumage, I went back to the old tree, expecting to see Shaymin still there sleeping, or maybe awake. But she was nowhere around. I even strained my eyes to look for her up in the old tree, but I only got blinded by the sunlight that seeped in between the branches and leaves. I shrugged and decided to get a nap, myself.

I woke up, roughly 10 or 20 minutes later, feeling refreshed. It’s nice to get a good nap sometimes. I got all my belongings and headed inside the building, then went to stop by at the cafeteria to see if the group was still there. The squad was still there, so I ran over to show the adorable thing I had taken a picture of. I opened my camera and gave it to V. I expected her to also die of cuteness, but all she did was laugh, (she must’ve found it funny I snuck a picture of Shaymin) I thought. “Lol, Koi, how’d you take a picture of yourself while sleeping?”

“What???? I didn’t- No that wasn’t what I was showing you! And I never took a picture of my-” I snatched back the camera, scrolling through the photos. I didn’t see the picture I took anywhere! Then I checked the date of the picture V just looked at. “HUHHHHHHHH?????” I said shooked, “This was taken during the time I was sleeping in the garden!!!!”

V laughed again, “So what were you going to show me instead, hmm~?”

“V! You came to the garden and snuck this picture of me instead, didn’t you?!” I accused.

“Uh no man, I was in the cafeteria the whole time. I didn’t even step out of the building.” V said with a chuckle.

I pouted, “Then who did?”

“Ah, very cute, da~” said someone peeking behind my shoulder.

“Wh- Shaymin! I-” I whirled around suddenly, to which Shaymin jerked up as well, she was still smiling of course.

“You know you shouldn’t be sneaking pictures of people while they sleep, no?~” Shaymin said with that sweet Russian tone of hers.

“I- Wh- WAIT A MINUTE- T-TH-THAT PICTURE OF ME- YOU TOOK!” I pointed after managing to find some words while also scrambling my sentence.

“Well da, but actually nyet~” Shaymin brought her hand up, softly scratching the side of her head with her finger, “I only deleted my photo.. But~ I may have also accidentally took a picture of you in the process, da~”

I felt my left eye twitch. “Accidentally, psshht. Yeah right.” I said unbelievably.

“Eh? Don’t make fun of my words~ It’s true, an accident~ I’m real clumsy with technology, da~” Shaymin said nervously, scratching the side of her head slightly harder.

I pouted again, then replied, “Well if you’re going to sleep again and I find you, I’m gonna take a picture- AND YOU’RE GONNA LIKE IT!” I stared Shaymin in the eyes, the only response I got from her was a small and confused head tilt.

“Damn Koi, come on~ Don’t trouble Shaymin like that~” I heard V say while I huffed away to exit the cafeteria.

So, now I’m back here, at my room, recording this thing. Now whoever is listening to this is probably like- “Oh hey Koi, don’t you think you’re exaggeratiinnnnng???” UM NOO IDIOT. I guess it was cute and funny. BUT NO. NO. I’M NOT EXAGGERATING. I’M INFURIATED I’M- [vizzzz] [click]

Audio entry 2-

Sorry, I ran out of time for that audio message. So, continuing… I paused for a moment and rose up. “Wait a minute~ WHO- WHERE ARE YOU? SHOW YOURSELF!” I yelled, whirling around again like before, looking for the voice’s identity. I was starting to think it was all in my head. Perhaps maybe the bump from the rock must’ve made me start hearing things. Then I heard the voice from before laugh softly again, this time I realized it was coming from the tree.

I looked up, and well, surprise, surprise. Shaymin. “Wh-Who w-what, and how????” I pointed towards the flower garden and up the tree, confused on how Shaymin got up the tree without my noticing, “Y-you were just. A-And I totally wasn’t looking inside your sketchbook! T-Totally not-”

Shaymin dropped down with her sketchbook in hand, she laughed softly again, “You’re really bad at protecting things you know, yes?”

“Don’t make fun of me! You-” I was about to call her something, except I didn’t know exactly what I would call her.

“You’re a really whiny kid too. Hm?” she added.

“Stop calling me a kid, gay-face!” I retorted, pointing at her face.

“Now, I wonder who taught you to be such a hurtful soul~”

“THAT’S IT. I’M GONNA-W-”

I was at Shaymin’s head level now, clearly, she had just picked me up by the back of my hoodie, “Ah, What was it you were going to do~?”

“Stahp taunting me! I will rip you apart!” I reached my hands out, attempting to rip out her hair.

“Calm down kid. It seems like you really got hit in the head.” Shaymin sighed. She put the exhausted me down. I was so tired I completely forgot how to stay awake.

I woke up sometime later, feeling slightly better, but still disoriented. “So now you’re awake, yes?” Shaymin of course, I could tell we were still in the garden because of the refreshing smell of flowers and the never-ending soothing sound of the wind. I could also hear a faint sound of a pencil softly running over paper, Shaymin was drawing. “How long have I been knocked out?” I asked.

“Relax. You haven’t been knocked out. You simply just fell asleep for an hour.” Shaymin replied.

I brought myself up, “Was I drunk? What the hell happened?”

“You don’t remember? Well then.. You hit your head on a rock, and then went all over; from calling me a gay-face to trying to rip my head apart.” She explained, with no details whatsoever.

“What~? I don’t remember doing that.” I said, confused at whatever I just heard.

“Hmm, You don’t say~” Shaymin’s eyes were focused on her sketchbook, she didn’t raise her head up once to look in my direction.

“What was that drawing, I had seen before?” I asked, after remember a certain something.

“So you do remember something. Well, I’m afraid I can’t answer your question.” Shaymin replied, still refraining from lifting her gaze.

I snatched her book after fully regaining some my conscience, “What do you mean you can’t answer my question?” I flipped through the pages, and pulled out the one I had seen previously, “I asked you a question, you gon have to answer! Why are you drawing such a dark, depressing portrait of yourself, when every time you’re actually being such a smiley jock who doesn’t show any sad emotions?!”

“Eh? You’re questioning an obvious portrait? I don’t understand why you’re so angry about it.” she looked confused, I was thinking she was trying to deny something though.

“This didn’t draw itself you know!” I waited for an answer, it’s not that I was mad, I was really confused why she would make such a thing. Then I realized my stupidity. Shaymin wasn’t wearing the outfit she was wearing previously. Her dark blue coat and cool blue scarf that she was wearing some time ago lie folded neatly beside her. She was now wearing a white, short-sleeved t-shirt. But that wasn’t what she meant by “obvious.” It was the cloth bandages covering her arms and neck that pointed out the “obvious”. I’m pretty sure her torso was also covered in them as well. “Oh… I-I’m sorry.” I said dumbly, closing the book and handing it over to her.

“You might be wondering how it happened.” Shaymin asked, her tone was softer than usual.

I nodded slowly, knowing I had brought up a painful memory of Shaymin’s.

“A fight… Happened two years ago… Hospitalized me for a month.” She said slowly, I caught her smile almost begin fading away, then she brought it back, “It seemed, someone whom I had considered a friend, wasn’t actually a friend. A fake, just wanted me broken.” She added after a long silence. I was surprised of how she still managed to smile after remembering such an event.

“But you could have fought back. You’re so, um, big!”  I blurted out, then mentally face-palmed for not keeping my mouth shut.

“I don’t think fighting back would have worked against a group of 7 now, would it?” Shaymin replied.

(SEVEN?!) I thought, my jaw wide open, (So it wasn’t just 1 person?)

“Hmm, I don’t remember much of anything else that day. I only remember being surrounded by a group of people, and then I blacked out. Then I woke up in hospital a few days later.”

“How did you survive such terrible wounds? You should have died! I-I mean not that I would wish it, but I mean it isn’t possible to survive such terrible stabs and cuts. You should’ve either died of blood loss over the days you were stranded in that area, or- or-” Along with these questions I asked many others out of my own curiosity, it was stupid to be bringing up such horrifying past events of others and going too deep into them, but I wanted to know Shaymin’s story by detail. Sadly, I didn’t get any details at all.

“I don’t really remember anything, though.. It’s all hazy.” That was Shaymin’s disappointing answer to all of my questions. I could tell she was lying; she looked away from me and brought her hand up, clasping her chin. Then she hid her other hand behind her back, the way one does when they’re trying to hide something. I pretended to believe her words, and later, we both parted are ways. I mentally promised myself I would find out what she was hiding eventually. I recorded this to remind myself when I try to figure everything out, that’s what audio messages are for I guess. To actually come out alive after being deeply stabbed several times is pretty suspicious. So, I’m going to look into it later. This is about it for today’s recording session. [click]
