I was tired from that long introduction in the assembly. I'm a Raira Academy student now and I'll do my best to make friends.
As I entered my house I made my way to the kitchen.
I took an apple.
Parents aren't home yet I thought as I looked around the empty house.
I go upstairs. I enter my room and sit on the bed. I sure was exhausted.
I stood up. I looked around my room. An empty feeling.
That's right... I almost died two days ago...
I hugged my legs. That's all I was thinking about when I entered Raira...
I hugged then tighter.
I'm glad I didn't die. I could have made my parents sad. Very sad. After all this time I'm sure dad came through.
He talked things over with my mom when I wasn't around the house. I just hope that's what happened.
I looked at my phone. I picked it up.
I looked at my messages. Old ones.
There was one from an old friend I knew.
There was another one from 'setton'.
And as I kept going I got to it...
The emails that 'Nakura' sent me when we had a bond with each other. The same Nakura that told me his problems once I told him all about mine.
The same Nakura that lied to me.
My hands were shaking of the thought. That's all in the past now.
I put my phone down. I looked off into space.
I was remembering everything Nakura told me. I also remembered how he looked.
He had short black hair. He was tall. Yes, very tall. He wore jeans and a black furry coat. And underneath that coat was a black t-shirt.
I blushed in embarrassment. He said I was "ugly and immature".
I looked up. I feel like the way he explained me was spot on. If he continued even more he could have said I was a stupid chick with daddy issues.
He didn't care about my problems at all. He just wanted to see if I could 'handle myself'.
What did he mean by 'I love humans'?
I looked at the floor.
Ill never understand him.
ring. Ring. Ring.
What was… That?
I looked at my phone.
Oh it's just a message. I opened it up and checked who it was.
Not a message. It was a friend request from someone named 'kanra'.
This must be a female.
I quickly accept it and sooner or later a message from this person arrived.
'Hello.
Thank you for accepting my friend request.'
That was it. Simple. A letter thanking me.
I needed to get my mind off of Nakura.
I decided to reply.
You're welcome. I like making new friends.
I send it.
An email appeared.
"I like making new friends as well. If you want someone to talk to you when you're feeling down or just want to say hi then I'll be here'
I smiled. I made a new friend.
I was going to reply but I heard my parents come inside.
They were both out on a date I guess.
They were laughing and talking really loud.
I should go and welcome them back.
I stopped and looked at my phone.
Kanra.
I know!
I'll take your advice. ^.^.
My parents are home. I gotta go. :) talk to you soon.
I walk down the stairs.
"Rio! How was school?"My dad said as soon as he saw me walking down the stairs.
"It was great, dad" I responded.
"Any new friends, Rio?" Mom was in the kitchen putting cherries in a plate. Probably for dad.
"Oh..." Should I tell them about Kanra? I shouldn't. They mean friends in real life.
"Not yet..." I said.
"Oh" my mom looked disappointed.
"It's the beginning of a new school year! I'm sure they're shy as I am." I reassured her.
She smiled and handed me the plate.
"Here have one" she said.
"Thank you"
I reach in and take the cherry.
"Any boys you might think look cute?"
I blushed and choked on my cherry.
"Bye mom." I said walking towards the stairs.
"Oh Rio! I was just kidding" she didn't seem upset.
I go inside my room. I walk towards my bed where my phone is.
I check for an email. There was.
'Ok...can't wait to talk to you again.'
I smiled again and put my phone on the dresser. I get changed.
I fold my new uniform. It was blue and had a cute ribbon on the front. It was red.
And a mini skirt to go with it.
I hang it up in my room and sit down.
It was two days since that event happen.
I'll ignore it. Or at least accept it. Yes, that's what I'll do! I didn't get this second chance in life to mope around and feel sorry for myself. I got it because Nakura-San made it a quest to make me learn a valuable lesson. Either that or he just did it for laughs.
Either way... I need to thank him.
I walk up to my balcony. I look outside admiring everything. I opened my arms and looked up.
"Thank you very much, Nakura-San. I'm not going to waste my life anymore! People have secrets, I have secrets, You have secrets! I'll respect them."
I start to breathe deeply. That was loud. I felt alive and real. I closed my eyes. Smelling the air.
Something wet and cold touched my face. I opened my eyes confused. The clouds were grey and scary looking.
It was raining.
I run back inside.
The rain continued. It was pouring. I couldn't help it. I started to laugh. I laughed until my eyes were wet from tears and my stomach ached.
I held my stomach in place.
I covered my mouth. I felt good.
Thank you. Nakura-San.
