Chapter 4: More Questions than Answers

After the bell rang for school I went to find Sora. Too bad I didn't ask her where we'd meet up. So I went out to the parking lot and waited by her car. Luckily she came by five minutes later.

"Hey Yamato!"

"Hey Sora. I didn't know where to meet up with you so I came by your car."

"Oh that's fine. It's a good thing I came here. I totally forgot to tell you that I'm on the tennis team. So I stay after school everyday to practice or do games. So…until you get your car I think you'll have to wait. I'm sorry."

"Oh, that's no problem. It's fine I can find something to do. I guess I can go to the library or something."

"Yes, we have one of the best libraries in Odaiba! People from other cities come to our library! We have books from all over the world. You could also join a club or something. I saw you have music as a class…maybe you'd like to work on some of that after school too?"

"Yeah there's lots to do I guess I'll find something. Thanks though."

"Well practice doesn't start for like half an hour…"

"Well, how about we talk then? I have some questions I want to ask you."

"Alright then. Let's go to the steps then." With that we both headed to the steps.

When we reached the steps we sat down and she turned to me. Her hair was blowing in the wind and her smile was so sweet.

"So how was your first day?"

"It was…quite eventful." I said with a laugh.

"Yeah this school isn't like many of the other schools."

"You know…do you have Ms. Makei?" She looked at me a little oddly and then took a deep breath. I just kept feeling more and more clueless every minute.

"Yeah I have her. I help her too. I'm her teacher assistant for one of my periods."

"Oh I see. Well, I wanted to ask you…" She cut me off before I could go on.

"Yeah she's a really sweet lady but…things are hard for her, um…yeah I'd rather not talk about it."

"Oh, but wait…I wanted to ask about…er how many people here have blonde hair?" I asked stupidly. I did see a lot of people with blonde hair which bothered me even more. I guess things aren't going to be as easy for me as I thought. She arched her brow a bit before she replied.

"You don't have eyes? Eh…Yama-kun?" she was joking around again.

"Alright, I know that was a dumb question…it's just odd to see so many why don't people stick to their natural color?" She looked at me oddly.

"Well if you have your hair dyed too you shouldn't be criticizing others."

"What! This is my natu….er….al….er….yeah that's true hehe." Again she looked oddly at me, but this time she laughed.

"You're funny…Yama-kun" She said that very teasingly. I just sighed and put my head down in defeat. She laughed again and then told me to continue on with my question.

"Well about Ms. Makei…are…Tee and T.K. her…" She cut me off again.

"Yes they're her kids. They're also the principal's kids. That's why you'll see them come in late or walk around campus a lot. They kind of, you know, act like they're in charge of the school too."

"So Ms. Makei is married?" I sighed to myself…T.K. Makei couldn't be my brother.

"Yes, she is…but…she…never mind." Sora looked away. I guess she really didn't want to talk about them, so I figured I shouldn't push her to tell me more, at least for today.

"So I was wondering…do you know a Takeru Takaishi?" She turned her head sharply and looked at me. I was going to say something but she began to speak.

"Oh I almost forgot I still have a question to ask you! You've been asking me so many."

"Oh, right…the question" I was disappointed that she totally ignored my question.

"I was wondering…Oh, it's time for me to go to Tennis…um…well can I save the question for some other time?"

"I said it was going to expire today…" I looked at her face pouting her lips, "okay fine…you can save it for whenever." With that she grinned and got up and waved good bye. I was left by myself and was getting anxious. So I decided I'd forget about mom and Takeru for a bit and try to find something to keep my mind off of them while Sora was at practice.

I was on my way to the library but the music room came in the way. The door was slightly open and I decided I might as well play my guitar but someone was in there. I peeked in and saw that it was the kid T.K. His back was to the door but he took something small and shiny out of his pocket and was about to play it but my weight pushed the door forward and it creaked. He quickly put the item away and turned around. I just looked at him nervously.

"What are you doing there?"

"Um…I have to wait for a friend…so I figured I'd play the guitar for a bit"

"Oh, do you play the guitar well?"

"Well, I think I do" I said with a laugh.

"That's cool I can play the guitar also." T.K. replied

"So…is your name T.K.?"

"Well that's what people call me don't they?" He was being a smart aleck and it was getting quite annoying.

"So…when did you bleach your hair?"

"I didn't bleach my hair…it's naturally blonde." He snapped, "And you when did you bleach your hair?" This time I knew my answer and made sure I wouldn't stutter.

"A while ago I guess I'm used to not changing it back now."

"Right I figured. I hate fake people." He just sneered at me and left. I guess I'd be left with more questions then answers today. I stayed in the band room and just played the guitar to myself. It's only been the first day and just now…I started feeling homesick. I missed my friends, my band, and my dad. I guess I should stay away from playing the guitar for a while.

I checked the time after a while and saw that it was time for me to meet up with Sora again so I went and waited by her car. She came a few minutes later. She looked tired but she kept a smile on her face.

"I feel so invigorated!" She said aloud as she approached the car.

"So you seem to love tennis a lot"

"I do…it's like my passion. What about you? Do you have anything your passionate about?" She asked looking at me as she put the keys into her car and sat inside. I just looked at her for a while and sat back down. But I didn't feel too much like sharing a lot of information.

"I guess."

"Oh, like…?"

"I don't know…just stuff I guess." There was one thing I hated about myself and that was that I easily got depressed. I just can't help it. I just feel like I'm sinking and there's no place for me to go or come to a stop. It's an endless abyss. I guess I was thinking to myself too much for I didn't hear Sora call my name.

"Yamato! Hello anyone home?" She looked kind of worried.

"Huh? Yeah…sorry I just have a lot on my mind…" With that I trailed off and just stared out the window. The leaves were falling off the trees one by one, and my hope was going away little by little like the falling leaves…until nothing would remain.

Our whole ride back we both were quite until we went into our apartments and said goodbye. I guess I was just too hopeful to find all my answers at once. This looked like it was going to take a lot more time than I thought. It sucks being left with more questions then answers.
