Chapter 2: Sleepless Nights

Karu heard a knock on her door, "Karu! Wake up or you'll be late for school," her mother yelled. Karu slowly sat up on the floor, "I must have fallen asleep last night while I was playing my music…." She looked at the clock and freaked. "AH! Its almost 7! I'm gonna miss the bus!" Karu bolted into her closet and grabbed some cloths from the floor. Her feet kept getting stuck in the holes that had appeared in the knee of her pants making her so frustrated that she almost tore off the leg "I don't have time for this!" Karu finally managed to get dressed but in her rush she tripped over the cat and fell down her stairs right into the wall, "I can tell right now this is gonna be one hell of a day……."

It was currently the beginning of spring and the air outside was colder than normal. "The weather must have changed over night." Karu said as it began to rain lightly. She stood beneath a large tree to avoid getting soaked as she awaited the bus. The busses seemed to be running late so Karu grabbed her cd player and listened to some music to pass the time. Whenever Karu listened to music she didn't just listen, she looked for the meaning and how it reflected on her. Yes she knew it was strange but she found it fun at times and today she needed something to brighten her mood.

Karu grabbed her things as the bus slowly pulled in front of her. The bus driver said his normal 'hello' as Karu took her seat towards the back so she could just listen to her songs. 'I wonder what will happen today at school if my morning started off this well…' Karu began to fall asleep as the bus drove smoothly along until she was pulled awake by the bus screeching to a halt. The bus driver had just barely missed an oncoming car, which had swerved around the bus and collided with another driver. The driver asked if everyone was alright and we all responded 'yes' in our 'I'm to tired to be awake leave me alone' voices and a few guys screamed "dude that was awesome!"

The bus finally pulled into the school about 15 minutes after the late bell had rung so we were all excused from 1st period. Since she now had all this free time, Karu decided to try and find her friends. If there was one thing that was interesting about school, it was the people she hung out with. They were always doing something crazy or random to make someone laugh and Karu just happened to be the dumb one who didn't know what the heck was going on. Karu finally found one of her friends on the third floor writing on her desk ignoring yet another long disscusion on Romeo and Juliet. Since Karu was trying to forget the bad start to the day, she decided to bug Satomi, one of her closest friends even though everyone says she uses Karu. She sat there making funny faces and acting like she was on fire. Satomi saw this and practically died laughing, which was what she was going for. After about ten seconds of laughter, the teacher finally spotted Karu and she made a run for it towards the bathrooms.

Once the dismissal bell rang Karu ran after Satomi. Satomi and Karu had two classes together after changing the roster at the start of the school year so she always followed her. "What are you doing Saturday Karu?" asked Satomi. "Most likely nothing as usual." "You wanna hang out with me and a few new friends?" she had this 'oh please say yes' look on her face and Karu always fell for it. "Alright, sure. Ill chill with you Saturday." "Good…cause your always locked away in your room and you need to get out." Said Satomi jokingly as they came to their next class. Instead of just walking in like normal people, Karu and Satomi decided to dance in, which was pretty normal for them but it always made everyone laugh because Karu couldn't dance to save her life.

When Karu sat at her desk she immediately became overwhelmed with exaughstion and fell straight to sleep. It wasn't until the end of the hour that she realized she had fallen asleep because the bell woke her up. "Are you ok Karu?" asked Satomi curiously. "I'm not sure, I'm just really tired that's all." Karu went on to class while Satomi got her books from her locker and stopped to get a drink from the cafeteria. And again when Karu sat down at her desk she knocked out, but this time they were watching a movie so she would have fallen asleep anyway. This time she was awakened by the sound of laughter coming from the class. "Why are you howling?" asked a guy in the back. "ummmmm" she didn't know what to say. Karu was bright red from all the laughing so she just went back to sleep. The dismissal bell rang and she slowly got up and moved to her next class. She asked the teacher if she could go see the nurse and just stayed there the rest of the day.

Since it was Friday, Karu decided to spend the night watching movies and playing games shed rented the other night. She sat there with her big bowl of popcorn and just shoveled it into her mouth as she watched a horror movie. When she heard a scream she practically threw the popcorn across the room, but managed to catch it mid fall. After about five hours of movies, Karu fell blissfully asleep on the couch. While she slept, she had a dream about someone she had never met but seemed to know awfully well.

Karu was lying in the grass of an open field under the star filled sky. She could hear the night sounds and smell the crisp cool air and it blew over her. She Karu looked to her right and stared directly into the eyes of a young man who stared back lovingly. He moved closer to her and she placed her head on his shoulders and took in his scent. It hung lightly in her memory as she stared contently at his face while he stared at the stars. He sat up and grabbed Karu and held her in his arms, and kissed her. She kissed back and they lied back down on the soft grass where she fell asleep, content and happy within his arms…
