Azusa sat on her bed with her head tilted, thinking The breeze from outside served as a release for the heaviness of the news that was broadcasted during dinner. Another teenage girl had passed away unexplainably. She wasn't the first. These girls usually have little to no serious injury. Any normal person would be at the very least concerned about such a phenomina but Azusa found these cases extremely unsettling for some reason. Her heart seemed to be pulled out with these cases, trying to connect to these people. It was such a weird sensation that truly scared her. Tonight it got so bad that she found herself curled up under her covers, crying.
"It'll pass, I'll fall asleep soon" she muttered as her cat came to comfort her.
When morning came Azusa awoke taking a slow deep breath, and getting out of bed. She ran down the hall feeling super light and relieved compared to last night. She arrived to breakfast her mom made the night before on the table, with a note expressing her parents concern for her. Azusa sighed glad that she didn't have to worry about this. She quickly ate and ran out of the door. She looked at her watch while running and huffed .
'I have to take the freakin' bus' she thought barely making it to the station in time. Azusa had to jump to grab the bus ceiling's ring and was practically hanging from it. She squirmed as people moved pass her, feeling very awkward being in the midst of so many un trustable strangers. The bus stopped two blocks from the school, Azusa hurried off and ran the rest of the way When the gate came in sight, Azusa started to get really tired, losing her stamina, then she saw her best friend Ritsu approach the gate, which motivated her to keep running. She got to the gate and high fived Ritsu as they walked in.
"What's up?" Ritsu asked.
"Oh the usual" Azusa said in her usual unchantic manner, last night's incident finally comepletely gone from her mind. Their high school was a normal high school. The insides had no character of it's own. It simply exsisted to display and hold the character of the students and teachers there. The two arrived at their classroom where most of the people were clustered together. Ritsu ran to them immediately while Azusa sat at heer desk, feeling more comfortable watching them and relying on Ritsu to, as always, run to her telling her all about whatever these people were saying, while adding her own opinion about it. The final bell rang and the students went back to their seats and became quiet. After the normal "Kiritsu, Kyosuke, Rei, Chakuseki" routine (A/N: Get up, pay attention, bow, sit). The teacher chippered away with announcement
" We have a new student~!" she chimed "Come in hun~!" the door opened and a regular sized, brown short hair girl with a confused look on her face walked in. she looked around, quickly moving her gaze, as if snapping photos of everything. She nodded her head and came back up with a big grin on her face. She grabbed the chalk and wrote her name: Yui
"I'm Yui" she said, her voice containing shyness but still contained enough confidence to hold her up. "Nice to meet everyone" she said bowing, the class clapped and Yui sat down. At an empty desk. The teacher went back to her lesson. The lunch break then came. Ritsu and Azusa pulled their chairs together.
" So what were you all talking about earlier?" Azusa asked, wanting to get Ritsu into hertalkative mood.. Ritsu's eyes widened in understanding and she explained after swallowing her food.
"The new girl of course! It was crazy, these people were coming up with all of these theories about her, but you know how they get." Azusa laughed. She was a year younger than these people but was above average in English (Remember these people speak Japanese) and math so she spent the morning with Ritsu's class. They were a bunch of weirdos but that was better than being strangled by their jealousy, which is usually the case for people like her.
"Hi there!" a voice chirped. The two looked up to see Yui.
"Hey, you wanna sit with us?" Ritsu offered, half way out of her seat.
"Oh no no!" Yui replied, "I actually wanted to ask Azusa for a favor." Azusa jumped a little.
"S-sure" she stuttered, "What is it?"
"I knew somebody in class 2 B this year, could you take me there? People were telling me you were sctually a second year." Azusa's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, I go to 2A next so I can take you." Yui smiled as Azusapulled her desk back to it's original position. She high fived Ritsu and left with Yui. Trying to break the awkwardness, Azusa broke off in conversation
"So how do you like this school so far? I know the class is a bit weird but they do mean well, and they won't bully you, I promise! So you know someone in 2B right? I heard that class has the funnest English teacher ever. Really all of the teachers here are odd balls themselves so I don't feel that depressed about it, speaking off English if you need help-" Yui, who was walking in front of Azusa this whole time stopped abruptly.
"Azusa, are you satisfied with your life" she asked, her voice was solid, toneless and guarded. Azusa was taken back but recovered quickly.
"W-well, there are certain parts of it that are difficult, but when I think of all of the good things in my life, it's pretty good." She replied unsurely. Yui spun around revealing a face of complete seriousness, the sparkle in her eyes from this morning replaced by a fierecensess.
"Do whatever you can to make your life as perfect as you can. No matter what anyone says, a second chance in life will never be nearly as fulfilling as the first time around/ Cherish this life you have so at the end, no matter how soon that may be, you can say that that life was enough." She says with an added urgency to her new tone. Azusa nodded with shaking a little. She goes to her clas while Yui stares into the window of class 2 B, sadly. She closes her eyes then heads back to class.
. . .
"Azusa~!" Ritsu chimes after the final bell and the usual routine of class ending occurs. " I need help with my English"
"OK" Azusa replied distantly, "Let's go to the library." They head to the library, which is the size of a US library, but and smaller, not a lot of computers. They settle at a table and begin working. They finish and Ritsu runs to grab some manga off the library shelf while Azusa lays her head on her arms on the table and naps a bit. The usual mutual routine. It's those repeating periods of time through life that never get boring. Suddenly, a bunch of load bangs are heard. Azusa jumps and Ritsu perks up, both looking toward the door. They then hear a shriek.
"Hey. Someone's in trouble out there" Azusa starts. Ritsu panicked knowing what this meant, they had to do something, but they couldn't go out defenseless. Ritsu quickly glanced around the library and found a baseball bat someone left. She runs to get it, She flexes her hands on it, then takes a deep breath.
"Let's go Azusa." Azusa nods and they head out.
The minute they leave the library the bangs are easily heard. The girls use these bangs to find the source of them. Before they see it though, they see a little witch looking girl running toward them with many injuries. She hops into Azusa's arms. Azusa is taken back but holds the witch thing. It seems about three and a half feet tall wears a colorful witch like uniform having royal blue hair with ice blue highlights, which spikes a lot on either side. Her hair reaches the bottom of her neck and her eyes are a very light blue with no pupils. She wears no shoes. Suddenly Yui rounds the corner in a strange cross of, school uniform and gothic style. It is evenly black and white. When her eyes meet Ritsu and Azusa's she stops cold, her eyes enlarge and she runs off. The girls run to look around the corner where Yui ran off but Yui has disappeared. They keep staring, trying ot understand what they witnessed.
"Alice?" a voice called. The girls looked in the direction the voice came from. A girl with blonde hair and large black eyes in the same school uniform as the other two.
"Oh dear . . ." she mumbled, Azusa and Ritsu looked at the girl in Azusa's arms, wondering if it was this 'Alice' this girl spoke of. Really, they were wondering many things, and maybe this new girl had answers.
