It was Reis first school day, his first break and he had to find a safe place already, so some girls could not find him. When he found a quiet corner, he sighed in relief. It was always the same!
Sometimes he had the feeling, that only the ones who didn't want a relationship were the only ones who got the girls attention. That was strange but in every country it was the same. Here in Japan it was just like earlier in China and America. He should have gotten used to it already, should expect it, but every time it took him by surprise again. He was more of the silent type and was overstrained by so much hustle and bustle.
It was nice to be welcomed nicely by his new classmates, but he needed a bit distance to other people. It wouldn't get him anywhere either, because his parents would move away in a year at the latest. Close friendships or a romantic relationship weren't options, because the goodbye would be too painful.
But it seems, that he found some quiet place for the moment even if it surprised him, because there was nothing except of the tree he stood under. Nothing else prevented others to come nearer, but it wasn't important as long as he could just relax a bit.
So he sat down so no one would see him from the schoolyard and took out his breakfast. As always it was self made and adapted to the traditions of the country he now lived in. Nothing got near a typical Chinese breakfast, but a Bento was really nice to. So he began eating it enthusiastically. But he was disturbed by a noise from above.
"Huh?"
He stopped eating and looked upwards. There was a guy lying on a branch. Was that allowed? Who was that anyway?
Perhaps someone who wanted some peace, too. So he suppressed his curiosity. If the guy wanted some quiet, who was he to disturb him? He would start a conversation if he wanted to. After all he laid there longer than he was sitting under the tree, wasn't he? He himself had noticed, if someone had climbed up the tree next to him.
For a moment Rei poked into his breakfast. Why was no teacher here to say, that the guy should climb down again? It was dangerous to lie there and so it should be forbidden inside of the schoolyard, shouldn't it?
He looked to the playground because it was a bit confusing. Everyone seemed to avoid this place. Was this a forbidden zone? But than a teacher would say something. But also the overseers didn't come near the tree.
Again Rei looked to the guy above. Was it because of him? What was this boy and what had he done that also teachers avoided him? That was somehow scary but interesting. Who was that?
In the moment, when Rei wanted to continue his breakfast, something moved in the corner of his eyes. The boy jumped off his branch and landed beside him. With cold eyes he stared at Rei, seemingly piercing right into his soul. And what eyes! Reis light yellow ones where extraordinary but not compared with this fiery red eyes! But there was nothing burning inside of them. No fire, just emptiness and coldness. The guys eyes were blunt and lifeless.
Hello and welcome to my story. I'm not a native speaker, but I want to practice writing in english. This story is finished in german, so I just has to translate it. Every chapter is splitted in his pages, because the translation is really exhausting. So I can try to upload one page a week. This chapter will contain 3 parts. All in all this story has over 80 pages, so you have a lot to read.
If anyone can help me with betaing my story, please PM me. It would be great to have some help with this :)
I hope you enjoyed it.
Until next week!
