here ya' go. By the way, one of my goals of this story is to get 50 reviews, so help make that happen. :) in return, I'll try my best even though I have school too. . ugg, after this I have to write about ten pages of acting reflection.
I don't have rights to Chasing Cars, by Snow Patrol.
~~morning~~
I rolled onto my back and decided to go for a run around the school. Lifting my legs from the bed, I grabbed my sneakers and kept my uniform on.
I ran around the school, past trees that seemed to fly by and I paid no mind to any students who looked at me funny.
After almost an hour of running, I finally slumped into the grass and felt it tickling my neck and wrists.
I looked up at the clouds, watching them sail across the sky and I sighed, this place might take some getting used to, but it's not a bad place.
I better get back.
Of course I really don't have anything to do. It's Sunday and most students either go to the optional church/ biblical studies session or they hang out with their friends.
I'm not religious and I don't really know anyone here well enough to hang out.
I looked at my watch, seeing 10:04 on its small screen. Well, I've missed breakfast and there are still a couple hours between now and lunch that I can spend out here.
The green grass that folded under my body was fresh and slightly wet. About twenty feet away from me there was a medium sized black fence that seemed easy enough to jump. The trees were a bit more sparse in this patch.
My face darkened at one thought. At home I used to sing constantly, grandpa would have to make me shut up.
Now I really don't know if I can sing here, at least not with my soprano shriek. I looked around me and realized; I'm alone. No one can hear me right now. I Started softly.
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
I didn't hear any response, so I picked up in my regular voice.
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
I smiled as I reached the chorus and looked back up at the sky.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
the tune blasted out of the low quality speakers on my iPhone as my voice blew in the wind.
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
I closed my eyes and continued my empty serenade to the skies.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
suddenly, the light hitting my eyelids was removed and I opened my eyes, sitting up quickly. I was met with Natsume's face and, surprisingly, the song continued. but not from my mouth.
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life
I was astonished, is Natsume really singing with me? Our voices joined together and made a pretty mixture of bass and soprano.
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
The chorus came around again and I was barely even aware of our strange circumstances; I've always wanted to sing an impromptu duet in a pretty nature scene.
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
All of a sudden, our positions hit both of us and we separated quickly.
Natsume looked at my eyes as I thought to myself, 'That was amazing!' He looked down at his feet before turning and glaring into the slight morning mist.
We heard footsteps come to us and I instinctively moved towards Natsume a bit.
Purple eyes, "Oh, Natsume I saw you leaving the main school and thought you might be trying to escape again, who is your friend?" Blonde hair.
Escape again?
I looked up at the teacher, Narumi, I think and gave a quick, "Minoru."
He smiled and said, "Why don't you both go back up to your room."
Natsume looked down, red faced, and started walking. Was he embarrassed or something?
I looked at the teacher and he gave me a warm smile. Before I could stop myself, I said it.
"Are you a transgender?"
Natsume, who wasn't too far, chuckled a little at this.
Narumi looked at me calculatingly and grabbed my hand, slowly bringing it up and he bent lower a bit and kissed it.
What the?
His eyes met mine again, before flashing me a bigger smile, "How peculiar, seems that your partner is one of us, Natsume."
Natsume was closer, he had stopped and turned back, "who said s- he was my partner?"
Narumi looked back up, "Well I'm saying it now."
I was confused, what does he mean 'one of us.'
Narumi looked back down at me before plucking his phone from his shirt pocket and tapping a few buttons. He smirked as the person on the line picked up and laughed, saying into the mic, "I found another one at the school, this one is female."
How did he know? My jaw dropped and even Natsume looked a bit surprised, "H-how did you know?" I asked feebly.
He smiled again, "Do you think that your grandpa would really leave you at an all male school without even telling one teacher to look out for you?"
Ji-chan.
I don't really mind of course, this teacher seems okay.
"Anyways, Mikan, you have this ability called an Alice; it is a power, the powers are usually unique to the owner. For example, Natsume has the Alice of fire. My Alice is the human inclination pheromone Alice. For some reason my Alice didn't work on you."
I looked at him with wide eyes, an Alice? Me?!
"Funny, I knew a woman with your Alice. Nullification is quite rare."
I was shocked and Natsume looked shocked too.
"To lunch with both of you, can't have you not eating!" He gave us a wink and we both started towards the cafeteria, silence being our main companion.
Even though lunch still hasn't started, he sent us back. Natsume just lead me to our previous lunch location, the Sakura tree, and plumped down under it, popping in ear buds. I followed suit.
Well, sorry this one was a little short, but as I said . I sadly have work to do. Oh, high school.
Reviews are much appreciated!
