Chapter 8: The Aftermath
The following day at school, all I could think about was Folken and Christal. They meant so much to me. "Oh my God! Look over there! Mikaru's back!" a girl shouted. Everyone asked me where I was for the past few weeks. I told them all the same answer, but they wouldn't believe me. But then again who would believe that I was taken to another world where the Earth and the Moon hang in the sky. The only people who actually believed me were Naoko and that girl who I found out was a sophomore named Hitomi.
"Hey Naoko, what's up with Mikaru?" a blond girl asked.
"Yea, she hasn't been the same since she disappeared." another girl added.
"Well, she really did go to Gaea and she fell in love with a man there who was then killed right in front of her." Naoko answered them. The girls were a little shocked.
"Hey Mikaru," came a male's voice from behind me.
"Oh, Yaten, what do you want?"I asked with a smile.
"Are we still going out?" I looked at him and shook my head.
"Do you really think I would want to go out with someone like you? All you want to do is pretend you love me, then try and get me in the sack. Well, unless you can prove you truly love me, don't get any ideas." I then turned away and walked down the hall way to my next class. I went and took a seat at the back of the classroom.
"Oh my God, she's sitting at the back of the classroom with the freaks!" and girl said to Minako.
"Well didn't you hear?" Minako asked the girl.
"Hear what?" She asked confused.
"While she was away, she fell in love with this guy whole was then killed. Right in front of her. I really don't blame her for sitting back there." Minako said. The girl nodded in agreement.
"All right, settle down class and take your seats please." The students did as their young teacher had said and greeted her with
"Good morning Miss Tsukina". She smiled and continued
"Good, now we have a new student in our class and his name is Tenohoa Taiki. He has transferred from Kyoto. Now I expect you to help him catch up." The teacher looked around the room for an empty seat and spotted one beside Mikaru. "Oh, you may take the seat beside the girl in the back Taiki." I was too busy thinking about Folken to look at the boy who all the girls were drooling over or even hear the teacher tell him to sit beside me. My head jolted up as the empty seat beside me was moved. I looked to see the new student and I thought I would have passed out. The new student look almost like Folken. He even had the same purple teardrop tattoo under his right eye. Once class was over, I asked Minako what his name was.
"Didn't you hear the teacher tell the entire class?" I looked away and replied
"no" very quietly.
"Oh my God Mikaru! His name is Tenohoa Taiki and he's from Kyoto."
"Oh . . ." I said as I watched him walk past me.
"Hey, I know that look! You have a crush on him!" Minako yelled.
"No! Well, it's just that, he just looks like Folken . . ." I told her as I stared at Taiki walking down the hall.
