Water that's all there is. Completely surrounded by it. Just as I was about to pass out from lack of oxygen I got the door open, swam to the surface, and floated on my back. I didn't have enough strength to swim down and save my mum, at this point it's been five minutes since we went under, she had to be gone. Soon I passed out.
I woke up to white and that's all. I sat up and just looked around the room there was a tray of food, but I wasn't hungry. I then stood up and made my way to the bathroom. When I came out I saw the doctor and my aunt in my room. I walked over to the bed and sat down while my aunt sat next to me.
"How are you feeling?" she asked putting a hand on my shoulder.
"I have a fever but it will go away soon," I said. I didn't have to ask the doctor I knew when I woke up.
"You can go whenever you wish. Full custody will be given to your aunt," said the doctor.
"Figures as much. Will I be staying at the school with you?" I asked.
"You will be going to the school. Now I know it is only for boys but I'm the principal so I make the exception. And you don't have to stay in the dorms if you don't want to," she said.
"I understand. Can we go now?" I asked. She nodded and I was given my clothes, cleaned and dried, and I changed into them and I got in her car. We first stopped by my house where I walked around my house sinking it all in. I then packed a suitcase full of clothes and a backpack of valuables and we left.
When we arrived at the school it was during class so we walked to her office where Sawatari-san greeted us. I just sat down on the couch and heard the end of school bell ring. My aunt was talking to Sawatari-san about the accident and I stood up and walked to the window and watched students walking around. One guy with messy black hair stopped walking and looked up at me through the window. We made eye contact and we stayed that way until my aunt called to me.
"Hai?" I asked turning to her and walking away from the window.
"Sawatari-san here will show you the dorms, you can decided if you want to stay there or not, if you do you don't have to have a room mate if you don't want to," she said. I nodded, grabbed, my belongings, and followed him out the room. As we walked to the dorm I noticed the students were all staring at me. We walked through the dorms and Sawatari-san gave me a tour. We ended in the cafeteria where a hoard of guys, whom could only be students, crowded around us. They immediate started talking in a big mass.
"Quiet down, minna," said Sawatari-san. They, surprisingly, did. "This is the principal's niece, Ai Miyuki, she is going to be staying here. Please don't take advantage of her and treat her with respect, she will be spending a lot of her time with the principal after all. They simultaneously nodded. "Now I will leave you to help Miyuki-chan get settled in," he said and left. Once gone the guys started talking again in a huge mass. I just stared wide eyed at them till one of them shut them up.
"Oi, she can't understand you if you talk all at once!" yelled one guy from the back of the room. Everyone turned and looked, but I couldn't see who it was because I was in the middle of the large group. Soon, though, they all turned back to me and looked at me. One guy in a gold cape came up to me.
"Will you do the honors of staying in dorm three?" he asked.
"Why would I do that?" I asked.
"It would make our dorm very happy," he said.
"Ano, I don't even know you," I said, more like whispered.
"Oh how rude of me, I'm Himejima Masao," he said bowing.
"Well, I'm sorry but I don't think I can wear a cape for fear of strangulation," I said noticing others wearing capes as well.
"How about dorm 1. I'm the dorm leader Tennouji Megumi, we would be honored to have you in our dorm," he said bowing and the others in the room wearing white karate uniforms bowed as well.
"Ano, I don't do any martial arts, and never really intended to," I said really beginning to think about staying with my aunt instead.
"The means that only leaves our dorm, dorm 2. It's the sports dorm," said a guy with light brunette hair.
"Maybe I should just stay with my aunt," I said about to grab my suitcase handle when I saw a hand on top of it. I followed the arm up to the face and saw the guy that I saw through the window earlier.
"Your aura is black, you don't want to stay with anyone. If you stay in a dorm you can have your own room," he says. I looked wide eyed up at him.
"What did you say?" I asked still shocked.
"Don't mind Kayashima Taiki, he can see ghosts and your aura so he likes to meddle," said another guy leaning on my shoulder. And I shoved him off.
"Well so far he seems the nicest," I said and I turned to him, "If what you say is true can you show me which room is free, you kind of have a point."
He nodded and I followed him out of the cafeteria and down the deserted halls. We walked past some rooms and then he stopped in front of a closed door. I opened it and went in. It was meant for two people but there was only me. I sat on the bed near the door and looked around. There was a loft with another bed and there was a bathroom under the loft.
"These are nice dorms, but that's to be expected from my aunt," I said.
"So does this mean you are part of dorm 2?" asked Kayashima sitting next to me.
"I guess, I don't do any sports thought, in fact I play the violin so that would be performance arts, but no, just no,'" I said.
"It's all right. Your mother approves of your decision," he said looking over my shoulder.
"My mother?" I ask.
"Hai, I can see her now, she is smiling at you," he said nodding.
"Are you serious? It's only been an hour since I got here and already someone it picking on me?" I asked sitting up.
"Ano, iie, that's not it-" he started.
"Just please leave," I asked turning around with tears running down my face.
"Gomen nasai," he said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Please leave now!" I raised my voice a little. I heard footsteps and then a door open and close. I walked over to the door and rested my back against it and slumped down to the floor and then curled up into a ball there and just cried.
What I didn't know was that Kayashima was leaning against the other side of the door in deep thought. This wasn't the first time he was rejected for his power but it was the first in a while and for some reason, with her, it hurt more. Soon, though, he left back to his room right across the hall.
