Fear Garden
Prologue
Sometimes, when Rin dreamed, she remembered.
"Wow, Rin-chan! You're so good at this! Keep it up and you'll be even better than me!"
"Tehee~ Thanks, sensei! But nobody's better than you!"
"You're a very sweet girl, Rin."
But when Rin woke up, she always forgot. Or, to be more specific- she made herself forget. When she was awake, there were better things to focus on than fragmented dreams and old, sepia-stained memories; they held no relevance to her life now.
Rin was a normal, happy girl.
She went to school every day, where she would either a) learn nothing or b) learn something, and then proceed to forget it five minutes later.
She had good friends, the prime exhibits being Miku, Teto and Neru (not that Neru admitted to liking anyone, being rather unapproachable and bad-tempered. Even so, Rin knew – with that scary, female-intuition-thing that eluded and confused boys across the world – that Neru liked her really. Very, very deep down).
Rin even had a nice family. Sure, her parents were away most days, working overseas like your stereotypical anime/manga-type mom and dad who were never there for plot conveniences (which, despite being common in anime/manga, was actually very rare in real life), but Rin lived with her twin brother, Len, and he was okay. Sometimes. When he wasn't being a stick-in-the-mud about homework and chores and 'who keeps eating all the Captain Crunch, Rin?!' Which was, admittedly, most of the time, but whatever. Len was tolerable. Mostly because he'd do all Rin's homework, if given the proper incentive ('if you don't want me to tell Miku about your suuu~per big crush on her, Lenners, you better get cracking on my English essay right now!~' To which Len would reply- 'OH, I HATE YOU SO MUCH.')
In fact, Rin's life was pretty much wonderful all round. That's what she told herself. It was, it was, it was, and nobody could change that or take it away.
When the sun shone, Rin could smile and laugh and joke, and believe everything would be okay; that the happy times would never change.
"S-sensei, I don't understand-"
"Shut up!"
…But when she dreamed, she remembered.
a.n: What a pathetic prologue C: I hope the later chapters are a little bit longer. Anyway, are you INTERESTED? XD I hope so~ ooh btw the story's a bit different from the Fear Garden PV. As you can probably tell XD;; The rating of this fic'll probably go up in later chapters.
