It was a long time ago since he felt like getting up happy, but Nagisa Shiota was like he was a year ago. Putting on his high school uniform he looked over to a picture with the friends he had gained in Class-E, friends that scattered after middle school, several heading to the various high school in the areas, but he went to one on his own. He smiled sadly in fondness. He missed the days when he was in Class E. Some days he wished he was back there
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again.
Nagisa looked over the photo one last time remembering the good he once had before, soon he was walking out the front door seeing his old friends Sugino and Karma before him, He smiled and waved to them as cars past. Once the cars stopped coming his friends were gone, he slowly put his hand down and grabbed the bag strap tightly and walked off picturing his friends with him, they were talking and joking about girls, sports, movies and school.
"So Nagisa, how did you get on with Bitch-sensei's homework?" Sugino asked
"Come on man, it was dead easy, especially for Nagisa, dude really enjoys it" Karma chuckled.
"Come on guys it wasn't that difficult, all you had to do was translated an episode of that show Bitch-sensei makes us watch. Or at least we did" Nagisa said to himself. Above him the clouds grew darker. Looking up into the sky the feeling of loneliness grew inside the boy.
Damn who knew all the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here
Talking to you about another path
Nagisa kept walking when he heard yet another voice, this time it was the womanizing skirt chaser Maehara. A smile always on his face as he walked up to the young boy haired boy
"So Nagisa, seeing any cuties?" Maehara asked
"Hiroto leave Nagisa alone, you know he isn't the kind of guy to kiss and tell" Isogai said approaching them
"Nagi's got himself a girl huh?" Karma said as he joined the group
"Yeah, but he's not telling" Maehara said
"I keep telling you, the guy's a major secret keeper" Isogai laughed
"Come on guys just leave me alone alright, otherwise I'll fight back" Nagisa said. Once again he felt alone. He just looked down and shook his head, before continuing on
I Know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up look at things different see the bigger picture
Those were the days hard work forever pays now I see you in a better place
Nagisa stopped outside a sweet shop from across that street which was a popular meeting place for him and his friends. But now a days he sometimes visits alone when he feels up to it, but right now he can picture Kaede, Kanzaki and Okuda walking out laughing while enjoying the sweets they brought. Kaede looking over at Nagisa winking before waving to him
"Alright I'm coming" he said. It was days like these that he felt like he never had a second family to lean on in time of hardships. Soon thunder was heard rumbling across the sky as Nagisa got on the bus.
How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride.
Nagisa waited at the bus stop while thunder picturing all the times he's friends were standing there waiting at the end of the day. One fond memory he had was when Rio had fallen asleep in class and no one was able to wake her up. So the class dobbed in Sugaya to carry her home. Karma and Sugino were snickering about so Okuda and Kanzaki made them carry them as well so Sugaya didn't feel left out, Soon nearly every guy from E-Class had a girl on their back, most of them smiling about it while the girls just relaxed. But soon it faded away. Nagisa sighed before sitting down on a bench and simply put his head in his hands.
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
when I see you again
Once Nagisa got on the bus he saw a couple on board making him flash back to the times he was with Kaede his secret girlfriend, they would hold hands while joking and laughing, sometimes Kaede would lay her head on Nagisa's shoulder and just smile. It was some of the best times he had just sitting there enjoying her company and love; whether laughing at something the other said or just enjoying her presence in silence. Soon he was brought back to reality by the bus stopping and the couple leaving. Once they had gone he looked outside the window and moped.
First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong and what's
Smile turn to a friendship, a friendship
Turn into a bond and that bond will never
Be broken and the love will never get lost
He looked outside as the bus passes the area where would just laugh and smile. But one memory came to his mind. He was walking to school when several high school students jumped him. All he could feel was the impacts of kicks and punches. Suddenly he heard one of his attackers grunt before he was hoisted up. Several of the guys from Class E had rushed to his rescue, and supporting him was his best friend Karma
"Hey, Nagisa you okay bro?" Isogai said as he took a fighting stan ce, Kimura and Sugino behind
"Who cares all I know is that bastards decided to hurt my friend, so they say Payback is one heck of a bitch!" Karma said as teh others started to fight back
"Thanks guys" Nagisa said.
And when brotherhood come first then the line
Will never be crossed established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn and that line is what
We reach so remember me when I'm gone.
Once he got off the bus he just walked away from the stop on autopilot, not caring where he was going. In front of him was a younger Nagisa when he was first placed in Class-E walking alone, soon Kaede and Sugino walked beside him. Next came Isogai, Suguya, Chiba and Maehara all of them were laughing and joking around. Then crossing the next street Okuda, Kanzaki, Okano and Kataoka joined in. Karma waltzed up to Nagisa and ruffled his blue hair. Soon the real Nagisa stopped as he saw his old self walking away with the group of friends.
How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
Nagisa was at two different roads, he usually went straight ahead to get to his school, but for some reason he took the path on the right, taking him off to a place he had been to in a while, up the side of a familiar mountain and through a forest to see a field with a small and ratty building. This was the Classroom for E-Class, his group being the last group of E-Class. The rain started to come down as Nagisa saw his old teachers standing out the front smiling. Karasuma and Irina arms crossed and stern before easing into laxer positions. Koro-sensei with that bright smile on his face always made the place inviting, and it gave him the ability of hope and how not to see himself as a loser. He sat down on the steps and just unleashed the tears he was holding back
"I miss you guys"
So let the light guide your way hold every memory
As you go and every road you take will always lead you home
Soon Nagisa couldn't feel the rain on his shoulders. Looking up he saw a pair of familiar and comforting golden eyes. He realised they were the eyes of Kaede and she was holding an umbrella over his head. Behind her was Karma, Okuda, Sugino and Maehara; walking across the field the two guys helped him up as he saw the others gathered there with sad smiles on their faces and umbrellas in their hand.
"Hey" Kaede whispered
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Nagisa asked
"Simple, we thought you needed to see us again" Okuda said.
"You didn't seem the same after what happened so we kept an eye on you in secret waiting for you to head back up here" Karma said
"Thanks, guys" Nagisa said pulling Karma and Kaede into a hug while crying on their shoulders. Soon the group join in the hug crying as they had reunited. Nagisa looked up and saw Koro-sensei standing smiling
"never give up on life Nagisa, for it is most precious when you have friends to share it with" Koro-sensei said fading away "I'm proud of you"
"Thanks Koro-sensei" Nagisa said. While they were standing in the rain Irina and Karasuma approached them before they looked up, several of teh girls went over to Irina and hug her; the guys just shook Karasuma hands. Leaving Nagisa alone, but soon Kaede came back for him.
"So how have things been?" she asked hugging him in a loving manner.
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
"Its been a long time, so there's quite a lot to tell you, but for now I just want to enjoy this moment with my friends, with my second family"
