SAYAMAI

Sayamai!...Sayamai!!" A loud thump infront of me as I was violently thrown from my dreams. "-Wha-..Yes! Hmm?!" I panicked thinking someone might have fallen and been hurt. Only to see my biology teacher standing hands at hips infront of me. "Miss Sayamai... Would you like to explain to us the pythagorian therory please?" I sat silently for a moment. I wasn't stupid. But I knew she as testing me. The pythagorian therory was a matamaticle theroy not used in any type of science. "Uhm... That's a math term, it has nothing to do with science." .. Her irritated expression did not change. "Yes I know that. But would care to explain it to the class?" The room was silent. I cracked a small smile. I knew exactly what it was. "The pythagorian theroy is used when you have the variables such as a b and c on the angles of a triangle. Depending on where each variable is placed depends the variables value on the triangle. If c were at the largest length on the triangle then clearly a+b would equal c." The room remained silent. The teachers expression did not change. "Well then. I'm glad you know this. But it wont be saving you from a detention after school.I do not teach students who are unwilling to pay attention in my class." I slumped back in my desk chair. Allowing a rather rude sigh to pass. "Is that how your going to act miss yamato? Well I ahve no paitence for students like you. You may go to detention now." She spoke monotonely and pointed her finger to the door. Before standing I looked back at Rei. He was scribbeling away at somthing as usual. I don't thik I had ever seen his eyes before! He was always staring off into space or somthing. Never really minding the teacher. But yet he was a strait A student! alot of girls liked Rei. But he never really seemed interested. I had made a few attempts at talking to him before. But our conversation sunk after the first few rtades of words. I thinkit was him who was in the dream I had before i was awoken with a book. "Are you going or not!?" She shouted. I turned back around and jumped out of my desk. Not watching where I was going I ran strait into the closed door, fell back and from then everything was a blur.

I watched as she hit the floor. I looked up from my drawings just in time to see. I got out of my desk and headed towards her. I could see she was out... Well it's not like the floors in this place are padded. As I got closer and managed to push through the group of awe striken students, I could see this was the girl I talked to the previus day. She seemed so out of it. She never really looked at me when she talked. It made it hard for me to really say anything to her, so I said nothing and let her attempt fail. It was when I saw a small trickle of blood from her forehead, I panicked. I moved her bangs out of the way. It mus have been from hitting the name plate on the door. The screws were perturding far enough outward to cause injury. The teacher sighed. "Rei... Take her down to the nurse." I nodded, although shouting all kinds of regrets in my heads. I picked her up, her head fell into my shoulder. A student opend the door and as I walked down the hall, I recived all kinds of odd stares. "Shes not really that heavy at all." I thought to myself as I enterd the nurses room. I don't think I had ever seen the nurse before. She was old, that was for sure. She looked up from some paper work. "Set her down on the bed over there" She mumbled as she resumed her paperwork. "Uhm... She's kinda bleeding and not really concious. Shouldn't you do somthing?" She looked up once more. "Right... yeah sure whatever." She pulled out one of her desk drawers, pulled out a band aid. Then she stepped into the small bathroom. I heard a faucet run fo a while. Then watched her come out with a pitcher full of water. I sat her down on the bed, but I stayed close. the nurse drew back the pitcher, then chucked the water into tthe girls face full force. I felt bad for the fact I couldn't even remeber this girls name. She jumped then the nurse held her still, and applied the bandage to her forehead." the nurse looked at me. "Could you grab me a towel from that closet over there?" There was a small closet door behind the entrance door..I opend it to seeblankets towels and a variety of bottles. I grapped teh towle and gave it to the nurse but she refused to take it. "Look at that! It's my lunch, stay here with her, I'll be back in a half hour. And she hobbled out of the room. I sighed and sat next to her. She was shaking violently, but shew as awake. I handed her the towel and she took it desperatly. It was silent for a few moments before I decided I'd say anything. What was there to say after hitting a closed door, being knocked out and having water thrown on you? So I chose perhaps the worst thing to say possible. "Are you okay?" I said, my eyes wide with stupidity. She turned to me, her eyes wide as well, but most likely from shock, she looked sweet and innocent but I knew I had another thing comming.

SAYAMAI

I could now see I was fully awake, freezing and soaking wet. And in my school uniform too!!! Which consisted of a white blouse and blue and white plaid skirt!!!. I was thankful for the towel Rei had given me, but not for what he had said next. "Are you okay?"... his eyes were wide, either in curiosity or just plain stupidity. I turned to him,my eyes just as wide from the cold. "Do I look okay?.. I'm soaking wet!, My head is killing me, and I'm freezing! ontop of al this! I have a detention!! Do you really tinkI'm okay?!" He shrugged. "Well.... not really, I just thought'd I'd ask miss yells alot!" ..I laughed. "Miss yells alot?.. Says the boy who hasn't yet said a thing to me besides "are you okay?" It's not that I don't appericiate that you brought me down here. But...never mind. I've got a detention to go to." I began to stand up only to be pulled back down. "Your not going anywhere. I was told to stay here with you till' the nurse got back. And that should be in a half hour, I'm srue your in no hurry to get to detention." He smiled at me. That was the first time I had ever seen his eyes. They were a dark brown. Almost a black, they didn't match his fun and laid back personality though. They seemed more fitting to the dark, poetic type. I'm one for a good life wasn't all about the darkness. I was somewhat releived he wasn't on eof those types. I couldnt find myself able to smile again., no matter how badly I wanted to match his, all that appeard on my face was an ugly scowel fit for a pmsing pig. "So... I'm stuck here for a half hour?" He was now glancing around the room at the dull white walls. "guess so..." he mumbled faintly as he sighed and slumped back in the chain next to the bed. I coulden't get the dream I had out of my head. It was unlike any dream I had ever had. There was a boy I had never met before he went to a different school. It was far away from the one I was going to. I don't know why I was there. But I was apparently visiting. I don't remeber how I met I remeber everything after that. He had taken me to the top of this beautinful hill overlooking some sort of scene I can't really remeber. But wh had run into some girl who had liked him for some time apparently. She tried catching me and drowning me. I remeber being under the dirty water, getting out and running. Only to find him holding me in his arms. I was terrified. and the girl was no where to be found. I saw the bus that was taking me back to my school. I remeber looking up at him, Saying how much I didn't want to leave him, I remeber him holding me, I found it impossible to let go of him. I asked for his number. He wrote it down and handed me the paper. I asked when I was able to call him, he pulled me close and said to me. "Anytime, whenever you need me" And thats when I was awoken. The whole dream seemed so real. I could feel him as he held me. I could feel his care seeping into my heart when he looked at me. I had longed for feelings like that for as long as I could remeber. I was never able to find anyone who could ever make me feel like that. I knew that I had my whole life ahead of me. But I felt I'd never find anyone like that. I was still in high school. But it just seemed impossible. To think I'd only ever to be able to feel like that in my dreams brought tears to my eyes. I tried my best to hold them back, but I felt them rolling free down my face. I turned my head so he wouldn't see them. I didn't want him to hav eto worry anymore than he probly allready did. But I coudl tell somehow, Rei already knew..

I was looking all around the room, trying to find somesort fo conversation piece so she wouldn't feel so awkward. Afterall, if it werent for her towel, I could have seen right through her shirt. So I tried to make her feel a bit less troubled. I felt bad for her actually. Getting knocked cold right intfront of the whole calss, having a pitcher full of cold water dumped on her, and getting a detention. Thinking of it all made me feel worse. I looked over to her. and saw she was turned away. Somthing was wrong, I was more than tempted to ask, but I wasn't sure if she'd really want me to pry into her life after I had really just talked to her for the first time. Although I could tell she was crying I did my best to keep the subject cheerful. "You know, I really don't have to be home from school till around 5 today. Do you want me to stay with you during detention?" She spoke allthough she kept her head turned away. "Oh... don't worry about it. I'll be fine. It's the first detention I've ever gotten. So my parrents won't know... Thanks though." Her parrents? I had never heard her say anyhting about them really. I mean not towards me but during presentations she'd never speak of them, not during conferences, not even during holidays. It almost seemed like she didn't ahve any. But now atleast I knew she did. "Well, Even if you don't want me to I'm going to. MY friend got a detention today, and I needed to talk to him anyway so I'll go." I was lying, but I didn't really want to just leave her. She finaly turned to look somewhere else, She had whiped away her tears but her face was still sad. "Allright, but I'm not sure the detention monotor will like it." She spoke softly. I laughed. "I'll probly get a detention just for not going back to class! Well it's not like I'd really want to go back anyway. I allready knew what we were doing. Freshman Biology is too easy. She looked at me her eyes calmed, but still sad. "how do you do it? You hardly pay attention in calss and yet you get strait A's! I don't understand you at all!" I looked over at the door, half expecting the nurse to walk in but she didn't. It had only been ten minutes. I sighed once more and looked at her. "Well, when I went to my old school, the one I went to before I transferd here a few years ago back in middle school That school was higly advanced, they were teaching us highscool and college level stuff at the ages of 12 and 13 so all this is really just a big review for me." She nodded and stood up again, I went to reach for her but I wasn't fast enough, she evaded my hand. She still had the towel wrapped around her shoulders. "Look, I'm not going the rest of the day soaking wet. I'm going home. Tell I'll serve my detention tomorrow..." She opend the door but looked back at me. "Thanks Rei..." Her face flushed pink for a moment. Then she walked out. ... I wasn't letting her walk home soaking wet alone, It was mid winter. I opend the door and headed for my locker before going after her.
