Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews! (And I've enabled anonymous people to add reviews too, I thought I'd done that before but I must have pressed back on my browser :P) And you'll find out why I put Tohru a little outta character at the end of chapter one later on. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 2 – Kyo's dreaming
What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying, is the one who made you cry?
What can you do when your world feels like it's crashing down around you?
What do you do when it hurts to breathe without them by your side?
Stuck in a catch-22, which way do I go, where can I turn to run?
All you can do is run…
"Ah, Kyo-san, seeing as you looked so interested in what I was saying, you can answer my question." Mayu-san wakes me from my dream.
"Huh?"
"Answer my question."
"What was the question?"
"Ah Kyo-san, so absent-minded, the question was so simple too. I thought surely a simpleton like you could at least know the date of parents evening."
"Parent's evening…?" I wasn't really paying attention, but parent's evening is never a good sign. Last year I skipped out on it, and this year is graduation. Oh man today sucks!
"Next time pay attention in my class, and maybe you'll actually know the answers. She turns and walks away from my desk and back to the front of the class. "Moving on, now everyone is listening…" Her voice drowns out in the background of my thoughts. I look around to Tohru's desk to find her sitting scribbling down something on a sheet of paper.
"Tohru, you're still here? I thought you had to go to hospital?" I ask puzzled but she sends a more puzzled look back so I drop it for now, I'll ask her at lunch.
It takes like what seems like forever for the lunch bell to ring. These last few weeks have been hectic. I've hardly had the chance to study and finals are in a few weeks. So much stress!
The bell finally sounds and I walk out of class, following behind Tohru, Hanajima and Arisa. My mind still absent from my body, focusing on that dream, and what happened this morning. I don't have an interpretation of the dream yet, that I still need to figure out. But earlier in the canteen, I must have been dreaming, yeah that's it; I was dreaming that she kissed me on the cheek. It's not like her to do something like that; it's the last thing she would do. I guess it's just a part of me wanting something that is out of my grasp.
We head to our normal meeting place; Haru and Momiji are already there. I sit down on the grass next to Haru and everyone else sits around in a circle and begins to eat.
"So Tohru, how come you didn't leave half way through last lesson like you said?" I ask, sounding pretty causal.
"I never said I had to leave school did I?"
"Yeah when I came to school early today you said you hand to hand in some work before you leave to go to the hospital or something."
"Hospital...oh no! I completely forgot! I've missed the appointment now!" Tohru gets all fussed about it but Hana and Arisa are already at her side calming her down.
"It's okay, you can rebook it. Stop worrying." They say in unison. Everyone settles down (Momiji was making a fuss too) and goes back to their food. I should really try to figure out what happened this morning, it must have just been that second I imagined her kissing me, it was just a dream…just a dream…just a… (blackout)
Well that was my second chapter, I know kinda short and I'm trying to capture the characters as much as possible but this fiction might fail I fear :( but I'll try my best:D hehe. Oh and the next chapter will explain what happened with the blackout thing at the end of this chapter. Please review!
