Sky Days Festival chapter 01: Thoughts
BW: Hey everybody. This is BW here, with the sequel to School Days fanfic, Sky Days, now named Sky Days Festival. For those just tuning in, check the original Sky Days story to get caught up. This will also feature more dramatic scene, and some lemon later on. This will also be the first lemon fic I've ever done. Now, with all due apology for the long wait to those who liked the original series, let's get started!
(I don't own School Days, but the OC belong to me. Just to remain you, or make this clear to first timers, the Sora of this fanfic is not connected to any other character with the name "Sora". Please keep that in mind as you read through)
It's been a few days since Sora made his decision, and his short discussion with Sekai Saionji. Now, he's trying to figure out how to break it to his crush, Kotonoha Katsura, that her boyfriend Makoto Itou is making an ass of himself as he cheats on her with Saionji.
"Okay… I know I said I tell the truth and everything, but how do I go about doing that…" Sora pondered, lying down on his bed. It's late at night, and he been thinking on this for quite some time. "Shit… I wish I was smarter…" Sora grumbled. Eventually, he went to sleep, no thanks to tiring out his brain.
(-The next day-)
Sora walked to school, apparently tired from his deep thought processing last night. "Ugh… I'm so tired…" Sora muttered, with bags under his eyes.
"Good morning, Amamiya-kun." said Kotonoha's voice from behind Sora. Sora wryly turning around to face her, with his tired out expression.
"Huh…?" Sora groaned, "Oh, Katsura-san? Good morning-" Sora paused for a second, "Wait! Katsura-san!" he jumped a second later.
"Is something wrong?" Kotonoha asked Sora, concerned.
"N-No! I'm fine." Sora answered, "I'm just tired. It's nothing to worry about." Sora assured.
"I see. I'm glad it's nothing serious." Kotonoha sighed in relief, "So what made you so tired?"
"Nothing really? Lack of sleep, I guess."
"Oh. That won't do. You should go to bed at a reasonable hour, and not stay up for so long!" Kotonoha lightly scolds Sora.
"Sorry." Sora apologized, on the outside. Truth be told on this inside, he's happy that Kotonoha is giving him a scolding.
"No, don't be. I should apologize for yelling at you. I didn't mean to sound rude." Kotonoha apologized.
"It's okay. Anyway, we should be getting school." said Sora.
"Oh, you're right. Shall we walk together then?" Kotonoha suggests.
"S-Sure." Sora agreed. During the walk to school with Kotonoha, Sora remembered his decision to tell Kotonoha about the affair with Itou and Saionji. Kotonoha doesn't know about it at all, and it doesn't look like Itou has heeded Sora's warning to him earlier. How long will Itou, for that matter, Sora himself, keep this up?
"You know, I've just begun to notice this, but you've been coming to class quite often, Amamiya-kun."
"Huh? Really?"
"Yes. Before, you'd normally skip class, or not show up at all to school. Now, you're becoming diligent in coming to school."
"Oh, seriously?" Sora looked surprised. Thinking back on it, he has been going to class more often than before he got to know Kotonoha. His change in routine must have something to do with Kotonoha's influence as well. "Well, even if I'm attending class, I don't think my grades are getting any better."
"You don't take your studies seriously enough. That's why your grades stay the same." Kotonoha said.
"Is that right?" Sora muttered, before he noticed that Makoto isn't here with his girlfriend, "Hey, where's Itou?"
"Oh, he gave me call, saying he missed the train, so he'll be late."
"That bastard…" Sora muttered. He had suspicion that Makoto was off somewhere with Sekai, doing gods know what.
"What?" Kotonoha asked.
"Nothing. If he's late, it's his own fault. It doesn't matter if I'm late, but if you're late, it could be trouble." Sora said.
"I see. So should I go on ahead?"
"Sure. I'll catch up."
"Alright… see in you class." Kotonoha said, and dashed ahead.
Sora thought to himself as he walked alone to school, "This has got to end soon. Or else, Katsura-san's innocent heart will be hurt."
(-Meanwhile, at the school-)
"Well, aren't you a handsome lad. Welcome to Sakakino High." said the principle of Sakakino High, to a new transfer student.
"Thank you, sir. I hope to enjoy my new life here in your school." said the transfer student. He's a tall young man with slightly spiky brown hair, and sharp light brown eyes.
"I'm sure you will. Now, let's get you to class. Wouldn't want you to be late on your first day." suggested the principle, rising from his seat, and personally escorting the transfer student, Ryan Omazaki, to a certain first year classroom.
BW: I know this chapter is short, and I just wanted to get introduction of the way, and I'll make chapter longer from now on after this. By the way, for those wondering about the new character, it was a personal request from a fan of the first half of Sky Days. Ryan Omazaki is actually his character, but he asked me to including him in the cast to give Sora some competition, and more problems to deal with. Anyway, this is all for now. See next chapter.
