Disclaimer: As usual, I own nothing!
I woke up from my bed while gasping for air. That, was that just a dream, well, I was glad it had been then.
So nobody… will get hurt.
Now, I wondered to myself, why back then, I was so dense, not realizing what was right in front of me until it was gone…
Day 1
It was a typical ordinary day, dressing up for school, eating breakfast, and meeting friends.
I arrived at school greeted by my best friend Amu, "Good morning Rima!," she yelled happily.
"you seem rather happy today, did a certain black cat paid you a visit last night?" I smirked.
"Whaaaat? What made you think that?" She screamed while her face is getting redder by every second.
"Maybe because you make it way obvious Amu-chan," A voice interrupted.
A boy with long purple came into my sight, and as you may have already guessed, he's the one and only Nagihiko Fujisaki, my arch nemesis. He smiled one of his infamous smile and greeted me," Good morning Rima-chan".
"It was..." I said under my breath.
"Hmmmm… What was it chibi-devil?" He glared at me.
"I thought you heard it, purple head." I glared back at him.
"Guyss, guys, jeeez stop it; sometimes I wonder if you two can ever become friends." Amu said, getting in the middle of our glaring contest.
I was about to say something when the bell indicating that we have to go to class rang. Amu hurriedly ran into her class, while Nagihiko and I just walked slowly to our class.
After walking for a while, I wondered why Nagihiko was so quiet, so I took a peek and looked at him, he was lost in his thoughts, he didn't seem to realize I was looking at him, his eyes, they showed pain and.. Confusion?
After a while he seemed to realize that I was staring at him, he quickly smiled and said," hmmm, what are you staring at Rima? Lost in my eyes?" he shot me another of his infamous smile.
I was about to give him a comeback, but then I felt a familiar sensation ran through me, this… It had happened before, I lost my footing and I let my knees fall to the floor with a loud "thud"
I brought my hands to my head, trying so desperately to remember. This… It had happened before, but why? Why couldn't I remember?
"Rima? Are you alright? Why are you suddenly hysterical?" Nagihiko who was kneeling right beside me spoke, he reached out his hand, seemingly trying to comfort me, but I slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me!" I yelled out loud.
I realized what I had just done, he was trying to help me, but I pushed him away, and so the only logical thing for me to do now was just one: run.
I ran away as fast as I can to class, not waiting or stopping even when I heard his voice calling out to me from the distance.
I entered the classroom and quickly took my seat, moments later, I saw purple head walked in, he was about to approach me, but luckily, our teacher entered the class with someone following her, she got in front of the class and announced, "class, from today on, I will be on vacation.. And Miss Claire over here will be my substitute."
A woman with short purple hair and a pair of amethyst eyes introduced herself, "Class, my name is Claire and I will be your substitute teacher for a while." She smiled. The class seemed to be won over by her charms.
While half o the class was fussing over her, I looked into her amethyst orbs, and was lost in it, a voice rang through my head
Do you want to start again…?
A sickeningly evil grin was suddenly pictured in my head
Do you want it to end differently?
A pair of deep amethyst orbs, just like these was staring at me intensely.
Do you want to…?
I felt myself sweat dropped because of the tension of the suddenly mental images
Start over?
I shot my head up, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I looked to the front of the class, Miss Claire was explaining about something, I was about to think that this was due to exhaustion, until she looked at me with those amethyst orbs, boring to my soul.
I quickly looked down, and not once did I dare look up during the whole lesson.
After that, the rest of the day was blur to me, the teachers were just rambling something that I didn't care about. And before I know it, school's over.
I grabbed my stuffs and walked to meet my friends; Kukai, Utau, Amu, Kairi, Yaya, and Tadase, we didn't do guardian activities anymore, but we still hung out together, and then I heard Nagihiko's voice calling for me," Rima-chan please wait!" he yelled.
I was surprised by his gesture, despite the way I treated him this morning, he was still the same as usual.
So naturally, I responded to him just like usual, "hurry up, purple head!" I said while tapping my foot.
He smiled his infamous smile, "You really are a chibi devil" He said under his breath, I responded by stepping on his foot and walked away.
"I'll do whatever I want." I said and walked to the park where we were supposed to meet the others.
Nagihiko walked beside me, looking peacefully, it made me wonder what I saw this morning, was it really just my imagination? A couple of minutes passed by and we were already at the park.
Yaya waved her hand furiously,"Guys, hurry up, over here!"
"Be patience Yaya," I said a bit angry.
"uwaaaaa, Rima-tan is being mean to me!" She wailed.
Sometimes I really wonder if she was really a high school student.
Nagihiko on the other hand picked up his pace, responding to yaya's actions.
"Rima, is just in a foul mood tday," he said trying to calm her down.
This was an ordinary routine for us; gathering here and just had fun with each other's company. We would talk about random things and joked with each other until evening.
Just then, an image of this exact same moment went through my head, it was exactly the same.
I wonder if I got a Physicic power now, I wonder…
But I couldn't help but notice, only Nagihiko was acting different from the image.
His line was different, oh well, it's not like this was a big deal right.
Time passed, and one by one, my friends went home until I was alone with Nagihiko. He, then tried to start a conversation, "what do you think of our substitute teacher rima?" He asked me.
"She scares me," I answered rather afraid if I remember her eyes once again.
He seemed to be a little bit surprised by this and asked again," and why is that, Rima-chan?"
"She looked nice and all, but I feel like she's hiding something under her bright smile, it might have been just my feeling though, and her eyes, it held something mischievous under it, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know it's there," I voiced my thought.
Nagihiko didn't respond to my statement and put his hand to his chin, looking like he was thinking about something. I, then decided to continue voice my though," reminds me of you this morning..."
He looked taken aback by my statement but quickly hid it and shot me one of his smiles," I'm flattered that you take your time to check me out Rima."
He seemed to not want to touch the sensitive subject of me breaking down this morning, so I gratefully answered, "No, you dumbass, I was just thinking about this morning when we walked to class together, your eyes…. You expression..."
Silence befell upon us once again, Nagihiko stood up with a blank and a little bit pained expression, said," sometimes… not knowing is so much better that knowing you know Rima-chan, you may found yourself in a quite a bit of situation if you keep putting your nose to where it's not supposed to…" and with that, he left.
Before I could ask what he meant, he stood up, but I, as if I knew what was about to happen, grabbed his arm, and instinctively shouted, "I won't let you leave me this time, you idiot!"
He turned his head, face showing fear and some other mixed emotions and slowly spoke, "Wha... what do you mean, this time?"
I didn't realize I had shouted that, I acted on instinct based on the images in my head, I gulped and slowly spoke, "Well…"
It was too rushed wasn't it, well I want to finish it quickly as it was degrading every single second
So, tell me what you think, don't be shy, just push the review button
