I was in the water floating, looking up at the surface and seeing the beautiful moonlight relect in the dark blue water. Manaka,Hikari and Kaname were all there with me but all of a sudden I was alone. The ocean turned black and I couldn't breath I kept struggling to get up to the surface but I'm not getting close. Then I see a hand gabbing me. That's when i woke up.
Still half asleep and not really sure what happened I look up and see Tsumugu sitting besides me stroking tears away from my face.
-Tsumugu, what ar-
I couldn't finish my sentence because, out of nowhere Tsumugu moved closer and hugged me and said:
- You..had a bad dream, I was on my way down stairs when i head you crying and mumbling the words don't leave me.. what kind of dream did you have?
Still unable to speak due to feeling Tsumugus warm body agains mine, there was something about his presence that made me feel save, made me feel like i wasn't alone. As I drifted into my thoughts without even realizing it I feel asleep in his arm.
I woke up a brief moment later and all I heard were Tsumugu's footsteps walking towards the door and words that I don't really remember. I think it was something like
- I will never leave your side...
But I didn't think much about it back then and fell asleep.
I woke up at 6:30 am still not sure what had happened last night was all just a dream. Did Tsumugu really come into my room? Let alone did he really say that he would never leave my side or am I being delusional?
-I don't have time to think about this now, I said and lightly slapped my cheeks in order to wake up. Today's my first day of high school.
I grap my new uniform and put it on
-uwaah it looks so cute! I say as I admire myself in the mirror.
-Manaka would look so goo-
Then I remembered that Manaka isn't here. Its just me.
When Manaka and I were small we had often talked about how it would be when we both entered high school. And how it would be an amazing time but now it just seems lonely.
I really miss them all. I wonder if they are alright
My thoughts were interrupted as I heard Tsumugu's voice
-Chisaki! We are going to be late
-I'm coming!
I take one last look of myself in the mirror and I put on a smile, because I don't want anyone to notice how lonley I am.
I walk downstairs and try to find grandpa. I have to show him how I look, I wonder if he will like it, maybe it doesn't look that good on me?
When i finally find him in his usual spot fixing the fishing net I walk up to him and he turns my way, he doesn't say anything. He only nods and I answer him with my brightest smile.
Then i see Tsumugu beside me fixing his necktie on his uniform.
Tsumugu was really a good sight to see in the morning,the uniform looked perfect on him. Like it was made just for cheeks felt a little warm,I was probably eyes met mine and that's when I realize that I was staring at looking away from his gaze I notice that the clock is almost 7:30!
- We need to hurry or we will be late Tsumugu!
-mmm.. we should probably go.
- Bye grandpa we both said
and then started walking to out new school.
I looked over to Tsumugu who was gazing at me and smiled.
Today is a new beginning I thought to myself.
