Do I exist? That is the question I keep asking myself. I am like a ghost, a spirit that no one can see unless I touch them or surprise them. My voice is like the wind, no
one would ever hear unless I shout or yell, like the howling gale in winter. My long black hair is Harry Potter's invisibility cloak; it covers me and makes my existence
unnoticed and undetectable. My name is Kagene Rui, and I am a person that no one notices.
I head to school on Monday morning. The class president, Hatsune Miku, is perched on top of my desk, chatting with her best friends. She looks around, confused.
"Um… whose desk is this?" She asks. "Who knows?" One of her friends answered. "Yeah, it was probably an empty seat." Her other friend replied. I make my way to
her timidly, "Excuse me… This is my seat…" my voice trails off. Nobody notices me. I don't mind. I notice that my seat is not blocked by Hatsune-san's dangling legs. I
pull out the chair and place my heavy messenger bag at the back of the seat. Only then does Hatsune-san see me.
"Oh!" she cries. "This is your seat!" I nod, "Yes…" I respond icily. She smiles warmly, but instead of relaxing I freeze up, because I am not good with socializing with
others. "Kagine-san, was it? Well, I better go do some work, see you!" She says and, turning on her heel, she left, not hearing me mutter under my breath, "It's not
Kagine, it's Kagene…"
Class started soon, and as usual, the teacher never called on me. Nobody sees me. That's why classes are boring. I wonder if anyone would notice if I didn't come to
school? I shake my head. It's useless to think about things like this. I have to learn, don't I? I decided to divert my attention a bit. I close my eyes gently, singing
classic songs that I had heard before inside my mind. "Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme…" I mouth the words. "Remember me to
one who lives there, he once was a true love of mine…" I finished the song rather quickly and stared at the clock. Ten more minutes, just a bit more! I remember a
song from a game called Ico, called 'You Were There". I begin my silent singing again.
"The island bathes in the sun's bright rays,
Distant hills wear a shroud of gray.
A lonely breeze whispers in the trees,
Sole witness to history…
Fleeting memories rise
From the shadows of my mind
Sing 'nonomori'
Endless corridors
Say 'nonomori'
Helpless warriors
You were there….
You were there….
Am I forever dreaming?
Hard to define the way I'm feeling
You were there….
Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep
You were there….
Though forgotten all promises we keep
Slaves to our destiny
I recall a melody
Sing 'nonomori'
Seasons lit with gold
Say 'nonomori'
Legends yet untold
You were there….
You were there….
Happiness follows sorrow
Only believing in tomorrow
You were there….
Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep
You were there….
Though forgotten all promises we keep
The island bathes in the sun's bright rays,
Distant hills wear a shroud of gray
A lonely breeze whispers in the trees
Sole key to this mystery…."
I look up at the clock. Exactly one more minute. I can hear soft whispers of "fifty-nine, fifty-eight, fifty-seven, fifty-six…" Many boys were counting down. They couldn't
wait for the bell to ring. "six, five, four, three, two, one!" They grinned with glee as the bell rang out its familiar melody. The teacher dismissed the class and left.
All done! Again, thank you for reading, and please give a review!
