"Hado! Are you dazing off again?" Nejire's friend tried to speak to her. Mirio was trying to talk to her and she had dazed off. It was their graduation day, her name was going to come up soon and he wanted her to be ready to attend.

"Sorry, I'll be up in a minute." Nejire giggled. She was kind of nervous because she thought she would trip over her own hair, other than that, nothing else happened.

"Nejire Hado."

They called her name and Nejire walked up. As she walked to the stage, she questioned how Mirio was even next to her, their last names were totally different. Had she imagined his voice? That was a bit weird. Nejire walked up the stage and shook her principal's hands. He was a short man with white hair and a scar across his eye. He was very sweet and she was never in his office unless she wanted to help him out around the office.

She took her diploma and waved to her best friend and parents. She was smiling as wide as she possibly could, excited to finally finish High school. She was wearing the dark green cap and gown, her beige heels clicking while she walked down the other steps.

It was dark outside by now. She wanted to sleep. Nejire skipped back to her chair and sat down. She crossed her legs and waited for it to finish. It was totally late at night and Nejire was tired and ready to sleep.

Around an hour later she heard Mirio's name and knew it was almost over. Why the hell were there so many kids that have the last initial 'N'. It was kind of getting on her nerves.

Then it finally ended! She was finally able to leave. She met up with Mirio and left. Their parents were friends and taking both of them to a restaurant they liked. Nejire's dance instructor, Ryuko Tatsuma had been invited as well. Ryuko was very sweet and had been with Nejire since she was younger. She had become dance instructor two years ago.

Next to Mirio was an empty seat. Nejire was kind of confused and had to ask about it. Was he expecting someone? A date?

"Who's that for?"

"It's a silly reason, you probably wouldn't care."

"Tell me~. Tellmetellmetellmetellmetellme!" She whined, pestering her best friend. Her other friend, Yuyu tried to get her to stop.

"My friend would've graduated with us if he hadn't gone missing. I just feel like he deserves a spot of his own. He was a good dude."

Now Nejire felt bad for pestering him. Damn.
The night was pretty awkward now.

As it got later, Ryuko had given her a small gift. It was a pair of ballet slippers and a hair piece. The slippers were her skin tone like they were supposed to be. The hair piece looked extremely expensive and she felt horrible for having Ryuko buy it.

"Thank you Tatsuma-San!" She smiled wide. Ryuko was definitely wealthy. The fact she was a dance instructor instead of a fashion model or something along those lines was weird. She just felt bad for receiving the hair piece. It had the appearance of a Lily. A pin that could easily slide into her hair.

(I'm bad at explaining- just look up a Lily hair pin and pick what you think it is-)

"You're welcome. You're an amazing student and deserve it. And your old ones were starting to fall apart. You would've twisted an ankle or something." Ryuko said, blinking a bit. She was confused why she looked so happy, she had most likely forgotten about the expensive hair pin...

She sat back down and smiled at Mirio. They continued laughing as the night went on, Nejire questioning why Mirio continued to look back at the empty seat. He said his friend was just missing, not dead or anything like that. He looked sad as he glanced back. Nejire didn't say anything though. That would be rude and she may have been concerned and nosy but she wanted to know.

She was going to know sooner or later. It didn't matter if she got it from him, she just wanted to know. That's all she wanted to know.

What had happened to this 'friend' of Mirio's?
