The girl dreamed. She dreamed of a school. Of a girl who acted as a boy. Of an antique vase, broken into a thousand pieces. She dreamed of a debt to be paid. Outside the sun came up and the girl smiled and turned over in her sleep...
Haruhi Fujioka rushed to music room three. She was late – again. Damn!She thought, all I want to do is study. She opened the door to find... nothing. There was no-one there. "Where is everyone?" she asked the room. As if it could tell her.
"I think they're all outside in the courtyard." Haruhi jumped at the sound of a female voice and looked around till she saw the owner. "I think you should join them. The tall blonde one looked pretty upset." The girl stared at Haruhi curiously, like she remembered her from somewhere, but couldn't remember where. Haruhi looked back at the girl and blinked. The girl was wearing a black dress with fine purple embroidery, very much like the school's girl's uniform, but a little – Haruhi tried thinking of the right word, less sounded alright, but that wasn't the right word. A little less big, would be better. She had long, wavy, black hair with a childish butterfly clip. She was also quite beautiful.
"Um, thanks for telling me. I'm Haruhi Fujioka, who are you?" The girl blinked twice as if surprised then smiled and answered.
"I'm Sapphire Mizuiro, a scholarship student. I just transferred in from St. Lobelia's. I didn't mind it there, but that damn Zuka Club." Sapphire shuddered and looked out of the window. Haruhi looked at her and laughed. At last, someone she could sympathize with.
"Yeah, the Zuka Club tried to recruit me as well." Sapphire looked at her strangely then her frown turned into another smile.
"I thought you weren't a boy, but I'm confused as to why you're wearing the boy's uniform. I guess it will have to wait though, 'cause the tall blonde guy is shouting you." Haruhi sighed and then thanked Sapphire again ("call me Sapphy.") and ran down the stairs to the courtyard.
Sapphire watched Haruhi run until the door closed behind her, then stared unseeingly at the door. That was definitely the girl from her dreams. The girl that broke the vase. Sapphy looked back out of the window and saw Haruhi join the six boys. She watched them for a long time. She saw them talk to each other and laugh at each other. They're like a family. Sapphire reflected on this thought. Played the vision of them laughing over and over again in her mind. She wiped away the tears that had mysteriously appeared on her cheeks. Something that I'm destined to watch over and over, but can never take part.
