LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND YOU
Chapter 2: Leave Me Alone!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey, Izumi, can we talk?" Takuya asked me at recess.
No, I don't need your number,
There's nothing left to say,
'Cept I never thought,
It'd hurt this much to be safe.
My friends are outside waiting,
I've gotta go...
"It sure is funny 'cause sane people steer clear of me when I'm in a pissed off mood, so why don't you just go away now, okay!" I yelled at his as the waterworks started again.
I ran out the door and sat alone under the tall tree outside our school. It wasn't raining anymore but the grass was still damp where I sat. I had hoped that everyone would just leave me alone, but no, I was wrong. My watery eyes narrowed as my pursuing friend appeared.
"Umm. . . Izumi," she said nervously.
"Just go away," I whispered and buried my face in my knees.
"But--"
"Fine, say what you gotta say already!"
"It's. . . Izumi, I'm so sorry for everything. I know how you feel--"
"That's just a bunch of crap! How can you possibly know how I feel!"
"Look, I'm just trying to help!"
"Well has it occurred to you that I don't need your fuckin' help!"
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down, so?
When the truth came out?
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold,
Cuz what you did was low?
"Izumi, listen to me!"
"No, you listen! You let me down. How can I trust you ever again? For all I know, you could be hiding something from me right now! Just leave me alone!"
"Fine, if that's what you want, then I won't even bother next time! You hear me? You're all alone now so goodbye!"
I saw her storm away. It's the second time I pushed her out today, but I'm sure it was for the better. The last thing I need is sympathy.
By this time, my brain was filling with strange emotions and thoughts as I realized my friend wasn't coming back. My stupid conscience was fighting back. Why am I acting this way? Why am I all alone? Why do I feel like I want to. . .
RING!
(Sigh) I guess it's time to go in again.

The dark haired boy watched the blonde slowly walk into the school. He felt bad for her. But. . . he couldn't tell her. She's probably forgotten him already. After all, it has been a whole year since they'd seen each other. Plus the fact that he had just recently moved back to Shibuya and it was his first day at his new school. Oh well. . .

"Alright, class," the math teacher said, "Today we have a new student. Come in please."
I starred down at my desk. Whoever it was, I probably wouldn't know. I'm in a bad mood as it is.
"So what did you say your name was, young man?"
"Kouji Minamoto."
I looked up from my desk. In front of the class was a tall boy with long dark blue hair and a bandana wrapped around it. He wore a pair of baggy jeans and a loose black t-shirt.
"Hey, he's pretty hot." Some of the girls in front of me were whispering to each other.
"Yeah, I wonder if he has a girlfriend yet."
"On the first day? Probably not. But he won't have trouble getting one though. He's good looking and dresses quite well."
"It's a shame how he'll soon look like every other kid in school once he gets a uniform."
I watched his icy blue eyes scan the class. He seemed to give a look of hatred to Takuya as his eyes met mine. Why does he seem so familiar? His eyes, his face, his voice. . .
He sat down in the empty desk diagonally left of mine. I stared at him the rest of the block, trying to force myself to remember. Remember what, though?
The end of the day neared and I still couldn't figure out who that "Kouji" guy was. At least it kept my mind off hating Takuya. I walked down the hall, seeing people putting on their jackets and getting out their umbrellas. Great. It must be raining. . . again. Opening my locker door, I noticed I had no coat, no umbrella and my friends wouldn't dare share, let alone talk to me at all. Hmph. I don't need them. I never did. As I went outside, I slowed down my pace, deep in thought.

Kouji walked to his house, and realized his was next to Izumi's. This gave him an idea. She had to figure everything out herself, but maybe, just maybe, he could help her remember. . .
