Corpse Party: Wishes- Chapter 1
DISCLAIMER- I DON'T OWN CORPSE PARTY.
Eyes downcast, a petite girl who's name is Ayumi Shinozaki stood outside her house. Ayumi let out a small sniffle, sighing as she gazed up at the sky. It had been two months since the death of her friends. Ms. Yui, Seiko Shinohara, Sakutaro Morishige, and Mayu Suzumoto. All because of her doing that stupid charm, all her friends died a horrible death that will remain unforgettable. Although Ayumi knew it wasn't her fault, it still saddened her to know she could of done something to help, but she couldn't. She wasn't the most popular girl or the best girl in general and those people all had their flaws and accepted each other along with her for who she was. She felt encouraged by her teacher and friends everyday, and now she had to deal with the thought of death being their only vengeful thought till eternity. Ayumi shook her head and took a deep breath. She didn't want to have an anxiety attack, especially before bed.
Looking up at the sky, Ayumi saw a bright sparkling light in the dark, night sky. What was it? It was a shooting star. Her eyes lit up automatically, her mood lifting and feeling excitement enter her. There was an actual shooting star and it wasn't fake. Closing her eyes, Ayumi wished upon the star, wishing for everything to go her way. She wanted her friends back, she wanted Satoshi, she just wanted it all. She opened up her eyes only to see the star was gone. Sighing from the slight disappointment since she hoped to see it one last time before it disappeared. She went inside her house, went into her room, and went to sleep.
Ayumi walked into the entrance of her school, feeling slightly refreshed from that night's sleep. She wasn't sure why she was feeling so peppy and happy, although she did feel a bit heavier in an odd way. Maybe she had anxiety and her mind was trying to trick her into thinking she wasn't.
She heard a bright cheery voice call out her name behind her as she began to walk down the halls to the library to read before class.
"AYUMI!"
Ayumi looked behind her finally to see where the voice was coming from, and it was her crush. Satoshi ran to her, wrapping his arms around her petite figure, giving her a kiss on her head, sighing deeply.
"W-what the hel-he-hell? Mochida-kun!? What're you doing?! L-let go of me! D-don't kiss me!" Ayumi spoke loudly, her voice shaking. Her heart was pounding and she could feel her cheeks heat up. Satoshi let go of her and smiled brightly with that little innocent smile of his.
"No need to be upset! I was just happy to see you. You're my girlfriend after all."
"Girlfriend..? I- I don't remember this.. I- the..the wish. It actually worked? N-no I must be dreaming."
"Ayumi? You okay? You're acting all awkward and acting as if you're uncomfortable with me."
Ayumi's heart continued to pound furiously as she gulped. That was exactly it! She was completely nervous and uncomfortable in a way as if she thought this was all creepy and or spooky. Nervously staring at her boyfriend, she tried figuring out what she was to say to him.
Swallowing hard once more, she chocked out her words. "I-I'm fine! I just kind of forgot we were.. Dating..."
Satoshi frowned slightly, patted Ayumi's back and chuckled awkwardly as he continued to pat. As he was about to speak, Ayumi cut him off and spoke herself.
"A lot was going on and I was busy and I forgot that I even had to go to school and er..."
Satoshi laughed and stared at his girlfriend and smiled at her reassuringly. "It's fine Ayumi, no worries. You are just busy. You are class rep after all! Hey, we have 20 minutes until class. What do you want to do?"
Satoshi stared at Ayumi with his innocent eyes and fixed is hair as he did so. Ayumi finally had a boyfriend. What was she supposed to do with him? Kiss? Hug? Be affectionate? Ayumi wasn't ready to kiss him, not even hug him. She's hugged Yoshiki back in Heavenly Host, but she had no intentions of anything with love or affection towards the action.
Wait, that was it! Heavenly Host.. Everyone died.. And Ms. Yui... As Ayumi thought of all her friends' deaths she had completely forgotten about it all. How could she? Breathing in and out quickly, she began to let out small sniffles before she completely spurted out, tears rolling down her cheeks and letting out small whimpers. Satoshi was completely appalled by the sudden outburst. He looked down at her and stepped away slightly, and raised his hands in defense. He was really confused. When his younger sister cried he just gave her candy and read her bedtime stories. Would that even work for a 17 year old girl who doesn't seem emotionally stable?
Mustering up the little bit of courage he had, Satoshi spat out his words, butchering some words by accident. "A-Ayumi?! What's wrong? Do you need tissues? Are you hurt? Do you need Ms. Yui to talk to?!"
The moment Satoshi mentioned their teacher, she completely lost it. "...M..Ms Yui! She's dead! What're you talking about? Are you dense?! SHE'S DEAD! EVERYONE IS DEAD, NOT BREATHING. NOT LIVING. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?!"
Dropping down onto the floor, Ayumi continued to cry, and Satoshi backed away even more. His heart rate increased as little trickles of sweat formed at the corners of his forehead. He was beyond baffled from it all. He looked both ways down the halls and ran down the left hall, leaving Ayumi crying. She took in quick short breathes and chocked more on her tears. The snot coming from her nose ran down slowly and she wiped it with her sleeve. She felt a familiar warmth and realized it was not snot, it was blood. She had a bloody nose. She grunted out of agony from the nosebleed. It didn't hurt but now wasn't the best moment for something like that. As the repetitive thoughts of being alone clogged her mind and blocked her from thinking of anything else, her eyes went wide. The feeling of being alone scared her, the feeling of being surrounded by nothing always made Ayumi succumb to a dark place in her mind. The tears continued to come down as her nose furiously bled onto her uniform shirt. Some of the blood dripped onto the tiled floor of the halls. This was how she would be spending her time before class.
Coughing up some phlegm, Ayumi continued to choke. She spoke softly to herself.
"Don't leave me.."
