Chapter 3
This could be a bad thing. Being lonely. The Discovery Channel talked about it once. Something about being mental because of not talking to people, shutting yourself from others, and ignoring people. I hope it wouldn't happen to me. It better not happen to me. Man, I need someone to talk to. My parents??? Are you nuts?? Counselor??? You are way over your head. It's not if I was insane or something. No, I'm not. Quit acting like I am.
School (Second day of school)...
RRIIINNNNGGGG!!! Damn, I hate my alarm clock. I don't want to go to school. Great. Missing the second day of school is bad, not to mention there's no explainable reason to my parents. I slowly got off the bed, with my eyes half-opened. I did the usual, and chose to wear a dark blue shirt and black pants. I walked downstairs. I didn't see my mother or father. There was a note on the fridge. "I have double shift today. Eat breakfast. Will call you at 5:00. Make dinner after 6:30 if your father or I don't come home. Be good. Love, Mom." Sweet. It was seven-ten. I didn't want to come to school early but I didn't want to make breakfast. Hell, I couldn't cook. Yeah, I can use the microwave without the house burning down but dinner?? She probably means take-out. I decided it was time to leave the house and go to school. I locked the house and headed towards the school.
How refreshing. The wind blew through my face. It was calm and smoothing. I feel like I have some connection to the wind. I think it just told me that today was a relaxing day. A good day. I didn't have those too often. Today is like the same as any other day. You wake up, go to school, go back home, eat dinner, sleep. Next day is the same. Though, each day has a difference to it. Am I talking philosophy?? Whoa. That's totally not me. I guess I'm too lonely these days. I don't know.
It was seven thirty-five. Might as well be going to homeroom since I had nothing else to do. Yes, I did my homework. I didn't want the teachers having a bad impression on me on the first few days of school. I walked into the classroom, sat at my desk, and didn't make any noise. Mr. Kamon was sitting at his desk, reading over a few papers. Only a few people were in the classroom. I sighed. This could be hell. So be it. I think it's my depressing mode or something. The bell rang. More people came in. When the second bell rang, the teacher stood up.
Before he did anything, he said that even though students' schedules are permanent for the whole year, some might change due to too many or too little students in the class. He said that some students might transfer into this class. My heart lit up. Hey, there's a slight chance that Michiru might be in this class or any other classes I have. Not much of a chance, but hey, that's a start. Mr. Kamon then started today's agenda. He discussed how to balance chemical equations. I was slowly drifting off to dreamland. I landed right back when the bell rang. I felt happy. Happy that I still had a chance. I smiled. That was surprisingly surprising. I haven't smiled in a long time. Even though if Michiru were in my class, how would I approach her? I'll find some way.
After school, I decided to go to the gym. It was a fifteen-minute walk, pretty close to the school. I would usually hang out for an hour or so. My parents knew I'd hang out at the gym if I weren't at home. Today I decided to go home after an hour. Still, no one was home. Sweet. Hey, me home alone. What could possibly happen? To ignore all worst accidents, I decided to go to my room and stay there until my mother calls. Meanwhile...I just prayed that Michiru could transfer into one of my classes. I never asked any favors from God, but now, just one favor. I don't know if He'll hear me, but it's worth a try. I'll just wait till tomorrow. Damn, I can't wait.
