I stretched my arms above my head as I walked through the large, sliver gates of Karakura High. I was wearing the plain old boring uniform with a plain old boring bag, looking around with my plain old boring eyes. I walked around to the back entrance of the school and sat myself down on the concrete steps, admiring the forest of small trees behind the iron clad fence.
I leaned my head softly against the wall to my left and groaned, shuffling my legs closer to my body. 'What in the world is the matter with me? These headaches are getting worse.' There was a sudden jolt of pain in my temple which lead me to groan even louder, just thinking about it was enough to increase the continuous pressure," Pull it together, you freaking whimp," I force myself to stand tall and raise my fist to my chest,"You can do this, it'll go away eventually. No biggy."
It was a biggy.A big one to be exact.
I sat myself in the classroom of many desks and many more pupils, the classroom had always been rowdy but the sound just seemed to be amplified that day. I laid my head in my arms upon my desk and did my best to block out all available sound, but it was to no avail. I found myself counting the seconds on and on until something, anything, happened. I sluggishly sat up in my chair when I heard someone call my name with a rather harsh, loud, voice," Hirisawa Cheyanne! Are you with us today or would you rather be back in bed? Hm?"
'Back in bed,' "Gomenasai, Sensei," My lidded blue eyes stared into the pudgy brunette's blue ones. You could barely call her a teacher, really. All she did was shout and hand out assignments about things we had yet to learn.
"Make sure it doesn't happen again, hm? I don't want one of my best pupils making me fail them, hm?" I felt as if I was being mocked, I was the center of attention at that point and I detested it. I nodded and averted my gaze to the, now rather interesting, chalk board,"Alright. Now let's continue with where I left off before I was interrupted, hm?"
I didn't even bother to take notes, I just proceeded to count the seconds of the day until I could finally rest.
"Briiiing"
That was the first sound through out the whole day that I welcomed with open arms. I ripped my bag from the back of my chair and rushed out of the class room door whilst trying to look as natural as possible. I picked up the pace and headed towards the roof, it was the calmest place in the entire school vicinity. As soon as I got there I settled against the wall that held the door to the roof in place and sighed in pure relief. I laid myself down and used my hair to shade my eyes from the sun, slowly closing them. My breathing became lighter and I could feel the pain slipping away ever so slowly. It was so blissful that I was tempted to skip my next class just for it to continue.
Just as I was about to fall into my slumber I could hear voices getting louder and closer, then the door just next to me swing open with an echoing bang, it just missed crushing my feet," I'M TELLING YOU TOSHIRO THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD, TRUST ME I'M ACTUALLY FROM THIS ERA," The voice sounded all too familiar, a sound I was growing to find distasteful with each passing second.
"AND I'M TELLING YOU, THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD WORK ICHIGO!" The boy I assumed was 'Toshiro' defended. I sat up, again, sluggishly and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes to get a better view. The orange hair was the only thing I needed to get a glimpse of before I started to moan groggily to myself.
"JUST LISTEN TO ME TOSHI...ro," He quickly caught my gaze and cut himself off mid-sentence,"Cheyanne-San? What are you doing here...?" His anger seemed to be calming down by just the sight of me, which I was glad of. I didn't want to be on the receiving end of that.
"Huh? Oh, I was just trying to get some rest before my next class is all. Don't worry about it, just keep doing what you're doing and I'll be out of the way, sorry," He stepped slightly forward, and then rested his hand gently on top of my long, silky black hair before saying kindly,
"Gomen, Cheyanne-San. I didn't know you'd be here," I saw something glisten in his eye, and my memory reverted back to the first night I talked to him. I saw that same glimmer in Rukia's eye also," How about you come sit with us for a bit? We can talk. I'll introduce you." He motioned back to the people behind him with a tilt of the head and a large smile.
My eyes widened and I immediately began shying away,"E-eh? Um...n-no thank you, I think I'll just...just go somewhere else. I have to go...st-study, thanks though," I snatched my bag from the ground and began descending the steps of the building faster than I'd anticipated.
"Another time then? Your shop at 8?"
"N-nani?" I wanted to decline but my voice was far too weak to be carried so far up,"Darn. This won't do at all, will it?"
"You know. You're pushing them away right? You won't make friends with people if you continue this silly game," I stopped in my tracks,"Game?"I questioned, steadily craning my neck to look behind me to check for the source of the voice, "Ah, whatev, forget it you never take advice from people, at least I was nice 'nough to take the pain away," There was no one behind me.
No one around me.
No one.
"O-oh, um. Thank you," I paused, hoping for a response but nothing came. The voice sounded...different. It had an accent I'd never heard of and used slang I'd rarely heard. I began a slow paced walk before concluding one thing: the voice was the questioning imaginary one I had heard many times while I read. It seemed reasonable that I was talking to myself after all. "I think it's time to head home. I'll just get to work earlier. No one'll notice," 'Oh great. Now I am talking to myself.'
It took me a while to actually have the confidence to continue with this whole writing jazz, I reeeeaaally want to thank the people who've reviewed already though, you literally gave me the confidence I needed to keep going with this business.
jazica, thank you so much for finding interest in this, I appreciate it.
LITTLE RED FOXX, I will most definitely be continuing, thank you.
