Chapter 5: The Boy from Yesterday

Meghan sighed as she turned the booming alarm clock next to her off, reaching for the remote of her stereo as it began to play. She walked over to the walk in closet, through the door way that led off to two others; one being the bathroom, the other her closet. She walked in as she found the school uniform in front of her. She undid her sleepwear, then slid into the dark blood red pants that lay before her, than the white blouse, then slid the tie over her neck and attempted to tie it, taking a full five minutes until doing it successfully.

She turned off her stereo as she grabbed a small Nike bag from the back of her chair, sliding in a pair of white sneakers, her glasses, and slinging it over her shoulder as she reached her hand to the floor and pulled the floor towards her until it revealed the stairs, the door to it already on it's side, waiting to be pulled down.

She walked into the kitchen and towards the fridge where the lunch she had prepared the night before sat. She grabbed it, wrapping the bento in a cloth and grabbing a pair of pink plastic chopsticks from the utensils draw, placing both into her bag as well. She wrote a note, saying to her grandparents that she'd left for school and would be coming home late that night, so not to wait up for her, and also that she'd get herself some dinner, so not to have some waiting for her.

She slid on a pair of black sneakers as she turned off the alarm, grabbing a cased flute which was waiting by the door for her, opening the door and stepped into the cool, iced morning air, the sun shinning against her back. She walked down the pathway and down the deserted driveway, the dew on the grass in front of the what looked like one story house, winking at her as she passed. She started down the street, turning down a few more, until she came to the river. She smiled as she made her way across, then hopped the fence, the bag still slung over her shoulder.

She approached the school, a shiver running up her spine as she saw teachers pulling slowly into the back way, parking their cars. She walked through the only, already opened door, and made her way towards Mr. Shirogane's office, the way still fresh in her mind.


She knocked on the open office door, to find Mr. Shirogane looking out his office window. He turned on his heal when he heard her knock, then smiled as he motioned her to come in.

"Good, good. Glad you came. So," he said, ruffling through some papers to hand her a white sheet "your academic class is C-6, located on floor 3. You will meet your teacher as soon as school starts, and, well, shall we start getting you ready?" he chuckled as he started out the door, Meghan on his heels.

"First off, we need to get you a locker" he said as they started into a room on their right, where the rest of the school seemed to branch off from. "I bet you wouldn't have guessed this is where they are" he said sarcastically, making his way down the isles of lockers, towards the last row. As they made their way along this row, Meghan faintly saw, at the end, a pair of doors, which she guessed led to the outside, where the changing rooms were for gym and swimming.

"Well, here you go" he said, pointing to a small skinny locker in the middle of the row. "The combo is 2, 56, 42" he said, as she entered each number, then pulling on the lock, and taking it off of the locker, placing it on a bench behind her. She opened the locker as he took her bag and flute, placing them in, but not before taking the shoes out. "I believe you should be changing into these?" he said, handing them to her. She nodded as she slid off the black pair of shoes and put them on a shelf, towards the bottom of the locker.

"Err, sir? Why are the lockers so big, if all we need to place in them are shoes?" she asked as she slid on the white sneakers, lacing them up tightly, knowing she almost never would again as she just slid all her shoes on and off.

"Why, just in case someone brings something in, they need to keep it all somewhere" he smiled as he placed an arm on her shoulder. "now come, we must get your supplies" he said, leading her towards the other side of the room, but stopping in the middle and heading through a door, and down a hall that showed no sign of having classrooms behind them. He turned her down another hall, where there was one door.

He opened it, to reveal a flight of stairs. "It leads to the café, shops, and surprisingly, auditorium. Remember? I said they were all downstairs in the basement" he smiled, answering the question she was about to ask, leading her down the stairs.

They entered a shop with yellow walls, supplies stacked against the walls and on small tables lined with shelves along the middle. He handed her the school supply list as he exited, mumbling something about getting some coffee and being around the corner when she was done, along with everything she bought from that list was free today, since all the first things everyone got on the list was free, but the rest of the times she'd have to pay.

She read over the list, smiling to herself, checking a two already-

1 pair of black sneakers, and one of white

1 uniform of Red and White

1 bag

2 pens, AND pencils

5-8 Binders, depending on how many subjects are taken

Pencil holder/case optional, but suggested

She was surprised by a woman's voice coming from behind her saying "Konnichiwa Miss. I'd be more than happy to help you gather your things" Meghan spun around, to see a girl of, what she thought, her early twenties, long, waist length blond hair, jade green eyes, smiling a small smile at her. "Wow! I love your eyes!" she squealed, looking into the chocolate brown and emerald green orbs. Then, she suddenly took hold of Meghan's hand, like a close friend, and took her over to a wall of bags where she motioned Meghan to take one, along with saying "and, since I love your eyes" she giggled as Meghan gave a small, embarrassed smile "two key-chains, and some other goodies I'll mention as we pass- for free, my treat" Meghan nodded as she took a black bag from a rack, along with a strawberry keychain and a two layered, ten point, golden star, surrounded by a pink circle, and one small cartoon-like wing attached to near to the top keychain from the bottom of a small basket, handing it to the girl who had produced her hand, attaching it to the bag.

They smiled at each other as they walked towards the center of the store, where Meghan saw a whole side of a cabinet filled with pencils and erasers, along with some pencil cases, and the other side flocked with pens, white-out, and tape. She looked at the girl, who she now knew as Tora, as she said "You can take tree pencils, pens, two erasers, a white out, some tape, and a pencil case" she smiled, winking at her.

Meghan smiled back as she took a pink mechanical pen with small strawberries parading across them, the quote 'pure innocence' written in white slanting in the middle from top to bottom. She then grabbed a plain green mechanical one, a small keychain of a star hanging from the top, the words 'Reach' embedded along the side, and lastly a light blue one, with a single purple eighth-note keychain hanging from the balled top like the last, the words 'sing' embedded into it, which she saw, were the only ones of it's kind, while the rest had multiple copies.

Wow. Three unique led-pencils she thought, smiling as she chose a small, pink, two layered pencil case; which had a row she could take out to get to the bottom- with a small, blue colored cartooned wing on the right corner of the cover from a pile, also noticing it was unique like the rest. She sighed, grabbing two plain white erasers and wheeling around to the other side to take a purple, pink, and red ink pens from the variety of color ones, then a small roll of scotch-tape and white out. She handed it to Tora, who put them in a small bag she'd grabbed from the front, smiling at Meghan again.

Finally, they made their way over towards where there was a whole wall covered in binders. "I believe, Mr. Shirogane said you were taking six subjects, but I say there's always one more to be safe, so seven subjects. So feel free to pick six binders. I suggest you make them different" she winked. Meghan laughed as she nodded her head, walking down the rows of binders, until she found some she liked, a single word with a small picture or symbol in the background on each. She'd grabbed a pink one that had an –eighth-note, resembling the one on her pencil, with the word "sing" swirled in front of it, a blue one with another wing, outlined in pink, the word "fly" imprinted above it, a yellow one with a spirally, illusiony effect and the word "dream" printed in front of it, a green one with the word "cat" written in Japanese, a small picture of cartoon neko ears on each side of the word, a red one with the word "rat" written in Japanese and a small cartoon mouse which made her laugh on the front, a small rose with the words "innocent" printed on a purple one, and lastly, a white one with a small black stripe in the right-hand corner, the quote "In the arms of an angel, fly away from here…" written from the side to the slant, in black coloring, each a one-inch binder. Meghan laughed slightly as she noticed an identical folder in each of the binders, resembling the covers. Tora took them as well, placing it in the bag as they headed back towards the counter, where she walked behind it, handing the bag to Meghan and bowing.

"Thank you for shopping here miss. We hope to see you again" she smiled. "And it was a pleasure to meet you" she added, as they waved each other good bye. Meghan walked around the corner, where she almost bumped into Shirogane.

"I'm sorry, sensei, I should've been watching where I was going" she said, bowing, a light blush creeping across her face.

"No problem, no problem at all. I see you're finished" he said, pointing a pinky at the bag, his hand holding a Styrofoam cup which obviously had coffee in it. As she nodded, he smiled, saying "then shall we go up to your classroom? You can leave your stuff there, then go around the school, seeing as we have an hour and it'll only take fifteen minutes tops" She nodded, as they made their way up the stairs, then down the halls and up another two flights of stairs, finally passing some deserted classrooms, the glass windows revealing the classroom to the hallway, proving it.

As they reached floor three, Meghan could see the letter 'C' on a sign hanging form the door way, then the same letters with number from 1-10 down the hall. "Wow…" she whispered as they passed some. They walked into the classroom 'C-6', walking to a seat in the row farthest from the door, the last one in the row.

As Meghan started putting the pencils, pens, erasers, white-out, and tape in the pencil case, Mr. Shirogane took out her bag, smiling at the key chains on it, then taking out some paper from the inside, placing the folders inside it. He then placed some paper, which Meghan had neglected to see put in there secretly by Tora, with different designs from each pack, in each binder, then placed them on the desk, smiling at her. She smiled back as she kneeled on the floor, taking the binders and stacking them in opposite directions, so the top of the pile of them made a straight line, then placed it in the desk, pushing it back until she felt it hit the back gently. She then put in her pencil case, smiling up at Shirogane as he helped her up, then hurried to throw away the garbage.


"Well, we're done here. So, if you have any questions, feel free to swing by and ask okay?" he said, as he waved good bye to her a few moments later. She sighed as she grabbed the handle of her bag, taking out her Ipod mini; which she'd stashed in her pocket, and placing inside the front flap of the bag, almost fainting at seeing Tora had slipped more things for her inside the bag. She sighed as she headed out, up the rest of the three flights of stairs, then down the hall and up another pair which she knew obviously lead to the roof.

She walked across the roof top, along side a small room, having passed the door knowing it was the janitors office, and leaned against the fence, gripping it slightly with her hands as a small wind came by, ruffling her auburn hair, the roof of the janitors office blocking the sun from caressing her back.

Her bag slipped out of her hand, landing softly by her feet as she ignored the closing of a door somewhere, from a distant she thought, her mind wondering aimlessly. She suddenly snapped back, realizing that the door was the roofs after feeling a pair of warm, muscular arms wrap around her waist.

She turned around abruptly, to see the boy from yesterday, the one who'd imed her last night. She blushed slightly as she store into his golden eyes, his hands still wrapped around her waist, realizing his features now, never having taken notice to them before; the honey hair that swayed with another rising wind, his bangs falling in front of his sharp golden eyes, his tanned skin and the muscles that appeared from under the rolled up sleeves of the boys', Blood-red uniforms, a few white stripes appearing here and there. He smirked as he pierced his gaze into hers, pinning her slightly against the fence.

"Oh-Ohayo gazaimasu" she stammered, not able to take her gaze from him, seeing the smirk form across his lips, feeling her body going numb.

"Ohayo gazaimasu to you too" he said, leaning closer to her, making her heart beat loudly, his hands moving up her back slightly. She was surprised he couldn't hear it, as it rang through her ears, seeing him come closer yet still, until she felt his lips brush softly over hers, slanting to take hers in a gentle kiss.

She shut her eyes tightly, finding her arms again, she pushed him away, regret filling her as she breathed heavily, flushed slightly. She looked at him, her hands over her lips, as she stood there, leaning against the fence, staring at the boy in front of her who only store back, hunger for lust in his eyes.
