She laid on the ground below her. She was with her parents again. It was spring, the grass was fresh green and the mountains above her were calm and peaceful. She never wanted this to end. She laughed and joked with her parents and sighed. But this was too happy even for her. She looked at her parents again and again but they were the same. Her mother had blue eyes and her father had brown and hair which was blonde; mother was light brown. It was almost like the opposite of each other. Her mother had a spring dress on while her father had jeans and a t-shirt. It almost seemed like as if they were teenagers and she was an outsider. She felt unwanted; she was like the wind that just for a second be carried and the next, turned to nothing. Her heart pounded faster and faster. 'No' she pleaded, her knees trembled and shouted. She started to cry, her body shook and trembled. Her tears dropped across her cheeks; her hands trembling with fear. She didn't want to believe, the couple in front of her was not her parents. She cried even more. She didn't want to believe, she stared at the couple in front of her. "Why?" She whispered, "Why?" The couple in front of her advanced to her smiling. She stared at them crying and pleaded 'Why?' But no answer. She screamed out "Why?" at the couple and still no answer. She said it again but this time she pounded at the ground below her, choking on her tears. Suddenly everything became quiet. The couple moved toward her, as they reached her, they simply vanished into the wind like sand being carried away at the beach.
"Why?" Haruka mumbled as she was stirred awake. "Haruka-san are you alright?" Her guardian asked concerned. "Huh?" Haruka replied rubbing her eyes trying to be awake. "Haruka-san, its almost 12 pm," "Please get up now and eat lunch with us." "I'm not hungry," Haruka replied as she hid herself under her covers. "Haruka-san, you haven't eaten since the last day!" "You must eat something, plus, I thought we could go and visit your new school." 'School?' Haruka thought. Why? She didn't want school; she just wanted to sleep until her body would wither away. "I know, you've only been her for a week and I know you don't understand Japanese at all, but…," "You must complete schooling here…" "I know it's going to be difficult…" "School? I hate school; please… just leave me alone!" Haruka interrupted bluntly with anger. "But?... Haruka?..." "No… just let me be…"
