„Sorry, I'll go somewhere else; Stay here. CAUGHT. Her face while she's running, the expression she makes; I was trying to help you..."

„Yoshioka!" „ Another dream, huh? I wonder how she's doing? „ I keep having dreams of Yoshioka more recent that I had before since I got back to the town, I guess I'm really missing that silly-faced girl. A slight smile appeared on my face as it always does when I think about her, can't get it off, I bet I look silly now. It is still night, guess I should try to get some sleep, before getting to school in the morning. Ahh school, interesting things never to happen. Going to private school is the beggining of my new life at this place where I left so many memories behind.

So here I am, standing at the entrance of the new school, just as soon as I tried to step into school there he was, my brother, calling my name like we weren't even at school.

„ Could you not call me by my first name in school? Call me by my last name." Ahh...well forget it, never mind." My brother left there standing speechless, how much will it take him to call me by my new name... Mabuchi! Is that really hard? I don't even care for this school, I just want it to end as fast as it begun.

As I was walking down the hall of my new school, with some friends I just made I noticed a bunny like toy dropped on the floor, someone might have forgot to pick it up... As if I care.

„Ohh somebody dropped this!" That voice, that voice is a well-known to me. Voice of the past that kept my nights sleepless, voice of a girl I long to. Could it be? Is it her, no way! Can't be! My eyes widened and my heart began beating fast, I felt my cheeks heating up, I better not start blushing!

She took the fallen toy and left it near the window, like I once did when she had lost her eraser. That's the nice Yoshioka I remember. Without knowing it I started smiling again, without a way to get it off my face.

„AHAH AHAH AHA" What a loud ears piercing sounds she's making. Is that really the kind of girl she has become , from a quiet to loud girl? I tried to ignore that, maybe some of her friends she's been around said something really funny that she couldn't stop laughing? Yea, that might be it. Most of my days in school I kept observing her, thinking of a time when she will finally notice me or maybe she had already forgotten about me? Well, it is how it is I can't change the past, she probably forgot all about me, since I never showed at Sankaku Park by the clock, if she ever felt something...now it's probably gone.

What's with the bread she's been buying? That's too much for a girl like her! She has seriously changed. She's not even noticing me passing by. Well she'll notice now! As I passed by her I intentionaly bumped into her, catching the food she was about to drop.

„The bread almost lost it's taste." I said as I gave her back her food, „Sorry." That's all? I guess my effort was wasted. I continued walking and then at that moment I heard my friend calling my name, when I turned my head around, I saw her first, standing behind me, with really confused face. That's when I left her there, without saying anything to her, waited for my friend and walked away. The school's finally over for this day, I can go home. I felt like someone was following me, it was her. She wouldn't stop following me, walking, I saw the shrine we once took a shelter from rain and went to it. When I got there I saw that it didn't change at all. Slowly I sat on the floor, not so long, I heard her voice.

„Tanaka-kun?"

„I'm Mabuchi though."

„Sorry... I was wrong."

„It is suddenly pouring, huh?

I smiled to her, mostly because of the face that she had made, she called out to me once again.

„Tanaka-kun."

„ I already said that I'm not Tanaka-kun though, I'm Mabuchi Kou now."

And that was when I woke up again, in the room, at night, looking at the bandages all over my body, just how long have I been here. It's not the first time I have woken up to this ceiling which was the first thing I always saw. I can't count just how many times have I awoken and fell asleep again, but one thing is sure. That girl, she meant something to me, I wonder if she knows me now...
