"Well... That's all then class! Don't forget to read pages 34-50 tonight for homework!
AND do the essay! Remember size twelve font... and use only Times New Roman, I don't want anyone
using a special bigger font! Until tomorrow!" said the teacher to the departing students. A
certain blue haired girl caught her eye as she passed by.

"Oh! Ami! Would you please come over here? It won't take long I promise!" the teacher
called to Ami.

"Yes Ms. Hatchenbrook! Is... Is something the matter?" Replied the teen with a curious look.

"Oh no! Not at all, I just wanted to comment on your progress! You're ahead of the class,
and it's just your first week here! I know how much work you must be doing, and I wanted to
congratulate you!" said Ms. Hatchenbrook, with a kind smile. "You seemed to have adjusted to the
classes well!"

Ami looked down at the floor slightly embarrassed, and blushing with the praise. "Thank
you very much." She said face still facing the floor.

"Well, that's all, you can leave now... But... Ami? Are you having any problems with the
students? You've been here almost a week and a half and I couldn't help but notice that you don't
seem to 'hang around' with any of the others, not even to eat your lunch... Is something the
matter?" Asked Ms. Hatchenbrook with almost a motherly concern on her face.

Ami blushed even more at the statement and the teachers concern. "Um... no... why would
you think that? I'm just new here, that's all. I'm sure I'll make a lot of new friends. I just
haven't had time right now... I've been busy... with other things. But please don't worry about
me Ms. Hatchenbrook!" She stated, with a smile on her face as she finally looked up from the
ground.

"Hmm... ok then, ... maybe I'm just being silly. But if there is any problems, please
don't hesitate to tell, Ok Ami?"

"Thank you, I'll remember that... but I'm afraid I got to go now...Good bye Ms. Hatchenbrook,
I'll see you tomorrow." She said as she walked out the door of the class at the teachers goodbye,
smile still on her face. But the smile didn't seem to reach her eyes... in fact they even seemed
to glisten with tears.

~~~~~~~~~ Later... That afternoon ~~~~~~~

A suppressed sob was heard from the inside of a little apartment.

"I don't know why I let it get to me... I'm used to not having any friends... It's best
that way anyway. They would start to get suspicious and ask questions..." A week voice said
trying to reassure itself.

"Then... Then why does it hurt so much?" the voice sounded so sad, almost pained.

The sobs came slower and after a while they faded away to reveal the sound of light breathing...
a curtain is blown by the soft breeze to show a female figure asleep on the couch. A tissue box
and tissues surrounding her.

~~~ Once again this is later, after sunset ~~~

"Ahh..." Ami sat up and stretched. Her stiff back and neck cracking in the process, she
slightly winced. "I... I must have fallen asleep. It's a good thing that I finished all my
homework." She said to herself softly.

She looked around the room. Her eyes slightly caught the sight of the window. The curtains
were blown revealing the dark sky that was covered wit clouds. "I didn't know I slept so long!"
She rubbed her eyes and slightly smiled at the stars twinkling. Her mind wandering...

Suddenly her eyes shot open. All signed of her sleepiness quickly erased. "What day is it
today..." She said in a scared voice. She shot up off the couch and ran to the kitchen looking
on the walls. She found what she sought. A calendar. It was quite a beautiful calendar too,
with the picture of the ocean; it's waves crashing on the shore of a cliff. But she wasn't looking
at the beautiful scene. Her eyes shot towards the dates. "Let see.. I had Advance Computer Skills
today for two hours... that means it's Monday today. Monday... Monday..." Her eyes skimming over
the days and numbers. Her eyes froze... and so did she. Pure unfiltered horror filled her eyes,
still red and puffy, from the time she spent crying earlier.

"Oh no..."

Those were the only words that escaped her mouth, her lips not even capable of moving.
Then as the shock sunk in, her eyes took on a pained look and filled with tears.

"How could I have forgotten! How! After all these years... I can't believe I let something
as stupid as not having friends cloud my mind!" She quickly ran to the other end of the kitchen
and made sure the front door was locked, and then bolted the dead bolt. She ran to the front room,
towards the direction of the window. She leaned over the couch, trying to close it, and quickly
locked it. She was about the reach for the curtain when the clouds moved to reveal an empty sky.
She froze once again. The she started to shake violently... Her hand, which was still in the act
of closing the curtain dropped, but in so doing it also pulled the curtain to cover the window
until only a little bit wasn't covered; In the center where the two curtains met.

She fell to the floor all strength vanished, and landed with a thud on her knees. Then an
unearthly glow came from behind her hands, which were covering her face and her beautiful blue
eyes that still held tears. Although she didn't seem to notice, being to deep into her sorrows.
Then her body started to get... fuzzy? It was as if you were watching what was happening to her
from a television screen that suddenly had a burst of bad reception and the image started to get
unclear. Little droplet like things started to materialize around her, and in the light from the
stars they started to sparkle. Her shoulders started to shake from behind this veil of droplets.

Then she stopped shaking suddenly. She pulled her head back and let out a scream of
excruciating pain. Her eyes glowing the unearthly glow of a shade of Ice Blue. The droplets twirled
faster and faster until you could hardly see behind them. Then suddenly you could see the shape
of a girl... of poor Ami, slowly vanish like the television was turned off. And as if the droplets
were nothing but and extended part of Ami, they vanished with her as well. Or as if the television
was turned off, if you will.

And in the kitchen on the wall... the calendar that had the beautiful picture of the waves
, you could see a date circled in a red sharpie. Monday the 14th of January... but what stood out
most was the little printing that said 'New Moon'.
