DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FUSHIGIBOSHI NO FUTAGO HIME

Every second the sand passes through

When one chooses to let their precious time be wasted, they shall not ever get that time again. For I should've never wasted those tense few seconds….

Rein and I are twins. We do everything together but not in the same way. After a few arguments and a few struggles, we finally pulled through and are now united as happy companions.

A small metallic star hung from the ceiling, its glow was not bright and the darkness was hindering me from my sleep. I rolled over to Rein's bed and whispered:

'Pssh! You awake there?'

I was answered with a few shrugs and tosses. Guess I'm not the only one who can't sleep.

-school-

'Race you to the gates!' shouted Rein as the morning bell rang for class. As I'm athletic I ran faster and made it to the gates first. I gave her my victorious smirk and then slowly walked into the school.

'Ouch!'

I had bumped into no other than 'Prince' Bright. With squeals of delight and flushed red faces, you could tell that Bright was as popular as ever. Who knows what the female population do with me if they all knew that Bright liked me?

'Um…hi…good morning!'

I stared back at him… whispering a little 'sorry' as Bright blushed furiously. Seriously, get a grip.

A received a pat on my back,

'How's it going?'

I grinned. This was the call I wanted to her. The purple haired and clever guy, Shade. I do admit that I like him.. but no one knows. HE taught me the violin, should I continue that? But I shrugged, violin had been on the back of my mind lately. I mean, so much as happened but not a sign of me having a dream to yearn for. Take Shade for example, he's good with books, he could be a librarian and Rein, could become a shop manager. It's so obvious about what everyone is doing in the future… but me?

Oh yes and I forgot about Bright, I don't know, ever since that love letter he gave me, the only impression I get of him is a bright tomato… his way redder than my hair!

I glance at Rein, she looks happy with Altessa and Sophie. I wish I had friends like them, but it would seem a little awkward….besides I don't think they want someone like me. Suddenly a teacher comes at us, obviously mad that we aren't already in the classroom when it's so late. I sigh and start walking faster. Shade and Bright have disappeared and Rein is running with her friends. This is when I wish I was there with them. But oh well.

I'll wait for another chance.
