THE OTHER ME

Things were getting worse.

My best friends were slowly abandoning me.

One night I had a dream.

I was in a dark place.

I wasn't alone. Nadeshiko, Yaya, Utau, Rima, and ... Ami.

We were together and happy, until they started talking about something I didn't know about.

They slowly began to drift away.

"Wait!" I called again and again but they weren't listening.

Only one heard me, Ami.

She reached out her hand.

I held it. The moment I touched her it was so bright.

I woke up.

In front of me, I was happy to see my mom.

My mom is an actress and my dad is a director.

"What's wrong sweetie? You were tossing and turning in your sleep." said Kahoko my mom.

"Oh nothing mom. BTW where's dad?" I asked

"He's still in America." She answered

"I see I should go to school now" I said getting up.

I went to the bathroom and got changed.

But you know I really can't face school.

No matter how rich I am, no matter how kind I am… I'll never be able to do it.

I hesitantly made my way to my limo.

"Huh. I wish I could just get out of school for a while…" I said to myself

"Then why don't you do it?" asked a boy

I looked up it was Ikuto.

I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, I cried

"Oi! Oi! What's wrong with you?" Ikuto asked again and again.

"Nothing" I said "I will tell you later meet me in abandoned lot near Seiyo Academy Boys Division" I continued and got into my limo.

When I got to school, everybody was talking about "the friend incident".

I decided to go straight to the classroom without going to my special room. I didn't feel like it.

First subject was biology. The biology lab was too far.

I went to the canteen and went to our special elevator.

I took out a card from my wallet and swiped it. It was a special card to use if we were not in the special room.

I arrived quietly at the biology lab.

Somebody quickly confronted me

"Amu-chi!" said Yaya appearing in front of me

Shit! I forgot Yaya was in my biology class

"Not right now Yaya. I don't want to talk to you" I said coldly

I made my way to my seat and sat down.

Then I looked at my table; love letters great

I picked them up and threw them in the trash bin.

I recalled the dream.

I didn't know what it meant or if it meant something at all.

I sighed and leaned on my desk.

Class was starting.

For once I listened to the teacher well; I guess I didn't want to think about that issue

The whole day passed by.

I waited anxiously for the bell signaling dismissal to ring

It rang

I ran out of the classroom, got my stuff in my special cabinet and ran to the lot near Boys Division.

Oh great just the person I wanted to see I thought to myself

There I saw Ami doing the thing with her fingers again.

She saw me; she opened her mouth but then closed it again.

"I want to talk to you" I said

"What would you like to talk about?" she said coolly

"First I want to ask what that thing is, the thing you do with your hands" I asked

She reached out.

I held her hand

It was bright Ami spoke "Finally you reach out and open your heart to me!"

"Ah! What's going on?" I asked surprised

The bright light was all around

"I am you and you are me. We are one!" Ami said

At the corner of the lot I saw Ikuto as astonished as I am
