Reflections of the Past…Epilogue
Three weeks later…the first day of the new school year…
Schala went to school still morbidly depressed at the death of Shane. It had been three weeks since the incident, but she knew that her sophomore year of high school would be anything but comforting.
"Schala!" a familiar voice called out to her in the halls.
Schala turned around to see her friend, Rydian. Despite the sorrow in her heart she tried to convey that everything was going great and said, "Rydian! Long time no see! How was your summer?"
Rydian gave a colossal grin and said, "It was long…but I did make a lot of money! Now that the new school year is here I can't wait for it to end! I can't believe it's my last year here." She looked like an idea just popped into her head and asked, "Speaking of last year here…have you seen Shane?" Schala felt her limbs go cold and she fell to her knees. The pain she was trying to cover up seemed to gush forth and she burst into tears. "Schala! Is everything Ok?! Did Shane do something to you?! Should I kick his ass?! Tell me!"
Schala sniffed and said with her voice still cracking, "Shane…Shane is…"
"Right there! Wait till I give HIM a piece of my mind!" Rydian stormed away.
Schala quickly looked over to where Rydian was headed and couldn't believe her eyes. It was like she was hallucinating or dreaming, or some strange fantasy was playing out. "But…I saw him…die!" she thought. She looked at the Senshi pen in her jean pocket and back at Aaron.
"Hey Shane!" Rydian said approaching him.
The kid stopped and turned around, "Can I help you?"
"Yeah! What did you do to Schala?! She started crying at the sound of your name! What did you do to her?!"
The kid looked confused and said, "I think you may have me mixed up with another kid."
Rydian smirked, "Come on now Shane! Don't play stupid with me! I know you did something to her! Why else would she cry?!"
The kid simply shrugged and said, "Do I know either you?" Schala shook her head and rushed over to Shane embracing him in a hug. The tears started flowing again and Rydian looked completely confused, as did Shane. "Uhh…you feeling Ok there?" he asked.
Schala simply whispered to him, "You're alive!"
Shane blinked and said in confusion, "Alive? What are you talking about? Who are you in the first place?"
Schala suddenly felt cold by his comment and asked quickly, "What do you mean who am I? You know who I am!"
Shane shook his head, "Sorry…afraid I've never seen you before." Schala's hug loosened and Shane headed off toward class.
Rydian still looked confused and said, "Schala…is…everything Ok?"
Schala whispered sadly, "He…he doesn't remember anything?"
