"Who are you?" words that slipped in my mouth. It seems to echo everywhere.
The music stopped, the man looked at me. His eyes both shimmered with curiosity and interest. He smiled at me.

"No one, see at school Rin." He uttered before leaving. I tried to follow him but my body refused, I was like a statue. Who is he? How does he know me? Questions keep popping on my mind, like raindrops falling from the sky.

I decided to go back home after a lot of thinking, though should I still call it a home. I arrived at my bedroom half an hour later, looked at my clock to see that how much time I spend outside, 2 hours. I've never been out that long. I was mostly out for an hour, maybe I was just thinking too much. I took a bath, brushed my teeth, I then replaced my old gauze into a new one, after that I went to bed that time.


Silence is serene, it helps me to calm down and forget everything. Problems and violence, they were out of reach. Life is a war. You need to cope up, take risks and most of all you need to survive. It's laughable, the way how we people do it though and sometimes it's pathetic, in other words pitiful.


"Brother where are you"? A nervous yet a gentle voice was heard. Pearls of tears flooded her face. Where are you brother, mommy, daddy, where are you? Continuously she dashed on a deserted place. It was a place full of dying trees, dried puddles. Everything was dull; it has no color nor was her heart. She later on stumbled on a place full of leaves. Where am I? Suddenly an unclear form went straight towards her; it was her parents and her brother. Her eyes widened in happiness. "There you are brother. I've been looking fo—

Her parents, together with her onii- chan walked pass her, tears formed in her eyes. Why? She went to her brother."Brother, brother please face, brother don't leave me." She kept begging, waving her hands in front of her brother but he didn't react, not even once. Later on she tripped herself on a large root of a tree. Her family left her. She tried to follow them but it was already too late. They already left her; no one can ever change that but her. "What are you gonna do now Rin?" A voice whispered in her ears. The girl sat there, hugging her knees, mourning in lost. "No they won't leave me, they just didn't saw me. They wouldn't forget me. No that's impossible, No!" Someone, save me!


"Rin, Rin, wake up." Someone waked me up. I opened my eyes to see Gumi beside me.

"Why are you here Gumi?" I asked to see myself in the verge of tears.

"You were shouting a while ago. Are you fine?" Her eyes were full of concern. I nodded to her. I looked at my clock. It was already 6 in the morning.

"It's just a bad dream." I said. Gumi then left the room with a smile. I smiled a little, after that I got ready for school. My school uniform consist of a short white sleeved blouse, black vest, a blazer, a red ribbon instead of a neck tie, a checkered plated skirt that reach above our knees and a knee high socks. I wore my shoes, grabbed my back then went downstairs.

"Insolent, you're late." I found my mother and father taking breakfast. I sat on my usual chair. Breakfast was French bread, cinnamon rolls; there was also sunny side up eggs, ham, bacon and some sliced fruits. I got some cinnamon rolls, bacon and an orange, carefully eating them so my parents won't notice the gauze I was wearing. They'll just blame for becoming clumsy and useless anyway.

While I was eating, my mother and father talked, just then our door was swung open. Entering was boy with a blonde hair, he has some white clips to keep his bangs from falling down, and he was wearing a business suit, Rinto, brother.

"Good Morning!" Rinto uttered happily.

"Rinto, son, come eat with us." My father said his face was filled with delight. My mother had a sweet smile on her face. Rinto smiled and took the sit next to me. My head dropped down. Of us two, Rinto and I, Rinto was the most loved child. Working as the CEO of some famous company named Crypton at an early age of 25, mother and father were extremely fond of him. It makes me feel envious of him. Almost all attention was lent to him. The more Rinto spend his time here, the more I become invincible.

Rinto and I were indeed close when we were still young but as time went by, we grew apart. Rinto went to work after that, leaving me here, suffering. Rinto also bought his own house right after he started working. He never knew that my parents hated me. He always told me that they're just like that because they love me. I still might have believed that when I was little but people grew up. We should align what's true and what's fiction, because if not we'll just live in illusions and might end up growing with false hope. I don't want to expect anymore, it's just like believing in false hope, it's just pathetic.

I immediately finish my breakfast and excused myself. I grabbed my bag and greeted my parents and Rinto goodbye. I don't want to talk to Rinto for the moment; mother and father would just interrupt our conversation anyway.

I silently walked myself towards my school, Vocahigh Arts Academy. On my way to school I started to hum a little.

Through the stars through the snow through the memories
(You) search for your footprints
somehow in this tranquil eternity
This place is in the midst of dreams

You run up the slope with your fledgling wings
Straying from the path with this sealed eye

Through the stars through the snow through the memories
(You) search for your footprints
somehow in this tranquil eternity
This place is in the midst of dreams

Someday everything will return to what it was
The one place at the top of the sky
is peacefully waiting for you,
trusting the future after the light in good hands

You run up the slope with your fledgling wings
Straying from the path with this sealed eye

Through dreams through love through the heart
(You) search for your footprints
Leaving behind the eternal light
on steady wings

To you, eternal love will

Tears that I held back almost slipped through my face. I can't cry now, this is the lowest. I can't let anybody know my weakness. When I was already on the school, I went straight to my classroom, 2-A. As I entered the classroom, I saw that few students were already there. I directed to my sit which was placed on the back of the classroom, near the window. I looked at the window thinking, what it like is to be free. Like a bird that flee from country to country.

(1)"Bonjour mademoiselle" A sweet voice uttered, interrupting my thoughts. Oh no, not him. I faced the other way to see a black haired boy looking at me while smiling manically. I glowered at him.

"Stop the act Kagene, both of are parents aren't here." I said.

"Very straightforward are we Rin." Rei chuckled then stared at me. I can tell, his atmosphere changed, from a lucky go lucky to a serious one. "How's the wound?"

"Pardon?" I asked, trying to avoid the question.

"Don't play dumb with me Von Claire, you know what I meant. The wound in your hand how is it?"

I lowered my head, hiding my frowning face. (2)"Je ne sais pas."

"What do you mean, Rin tell me the truth. What exactly is going on?" Rei looked at me eagerly. I can't tell him.

"I-I…. It, it's… I'm sorry Rei but t-this isn't your business anymore." I told him before storming out of the class. I decided to go to the rooftop but when I was already there I heard a sound of a violin, then a piano.

They were playing the song Canon. After listening for a few moments I heard them stop.

"Len, you seem to be cheerful this time, something good happen?" A high pitched voice asked. I opened the door a little to peep who it was. A girl with a long teal hair was talking to boy with a blonde hair, I recognized the boy from last night. So Len was his name, I smiled a little.

"Nothing Miku, something interesting just happened last night." Len uttered.

"Care to tell me?" Miku asked with pleading eyes.

"No." Len answered with a smiling face, Miku pouted.

'RRRIIIIINNGGG!" The bell signaled for our first period, I got to rush; hopefully our mentor isn't yet there.
