Chapter 2: Memories

After School...

Suzuno's P.O.V

Finally, I could go home, I stood up and walked through the hallways, which was empty, most of the students went home and some were outside either playing sports, doing their cleaning, watering the plants, throwing the garbage out, or either reading a book, while I am the only student inside the school building, I could hear my footsteps, which were gentle, it was so quiet, so peaceful. I like peaceful things, but what I love the most is snow... It made me remember of him...

Flashback 9 years ago...

No One's P.O.V

8 year-old Suzuno was walking down the snowy streets of December, but she didn't mind, she loved the cold, for some reason she never gets a cold or any sickness while in contact with extremely cold things, her mom was shopping with Dad, and Rin was at home watching over Yuuki, which he let Suzuno have some time in the snow since he knows how much she loves snow.

She walked silently admiring the view, then she heard voices not too far from where she was standing, she got curious and found herself following the voices, which were somehow filled with happiness, then she saw a group of kids, they look just about her age, and they were playing soccer, happily. She stood there, watching them, how she wish she could play with them, but the problem is she's too shy, she has always been a shy girl, which makes her quite anti-social. She watched for 5 minutes, until one of the kids noticed her and looked her way, in which she silently gasped and hid behind the wall of the building, "Hey! Wanna play with us?" She heard a voice call out, this caught her interest, she slowly and silently peaked her head only to see the group looking at her, giving her a warm smile, while a certain redhead caught her eye, he had shoulder length red hair and green eyes, he was wearing a beaming, warm, and welcoming smile. She slowly walked toward them until she reached the red-headed boy, "Do you like playing soccer?" He asked eagerly, she slightly nodded, believe it or not, little Suzuno here loves playing sports, especially soccer, despite her shy nature.

"That's awesome! You can play with us if you want!" He said, Suzuno found herself smiling and playing soccer with them, they spent 3 hours playing until it was 5:40 PM, they said their goodbyes to each other and went their separate ways, or that's what she thought...

"Hey, where do you live?" The same red-headed boy asked her, she slightly blushed and replied, "U-Uhm... J-just around the block..." She fidgeted, "Let's walk home together! My house doesn't seem far from yours!" He suggested, "Sure..." She answered as they walked in silence, after 5 minutes the boy broke it, "By the way, I didn't get your name." Suzuno looked at him with slightly widened eyes, "My name's Suzuno, Suzuno Fuusuke." She calmly replied, "That's a pretty name." He chuckled when he saw her blushing, "Mine is Hiroto, Hiroto Kiyama." He said putting his hands on his head, "Nice to meet you." He said happily, Suzuno nodded in response and focused her head on the way, while Hiroto looked up, watching as the snow slowly fell down and gently touch the ground, he loved the snow as well, because it looked really beautiful, and it can, without a doubt, oddly brighten up and beautify a place.

"The snow's really pretty right?" She asked him smiling, which caught his attention, he smiled back and nodded.

'Just like you...' He though as they continued walking admiring the beauty of the Yuuki... (Yuuki is the Japanese word for Snow)

Flashback End...

(BACK TO SUZUNO'S P.O.V)

I sighed, once I got out of school I noticed it was only 3:30 PM, I really wanted to get some stress off of schoolworks and such, and the only place where I relax is the Park, which is more often quiet and empty, but sometimes it is filled with a great amount of peopIe, I walked there and sat down on a bench near a sakura tree, the Park has a fountain at the center, and the pathways were lined up with big sakura trees, which perfumed the air by its scent, and along with the setting sun which illuminated the whole place orange, I sat there and stared into space for a few minutes, then I took out a book from my bag which I currently marked as "On-Read", means I haven't finished it yet. Clara gave me this book because she wanted me to make a reaction to it for her projects in English, where she has to give someone she knows a particular book that the teacher gave them and let them read it, when they're done we would tell the student what we thought of the book and they would write it in a paragraph. I began reading the page where I stopped, when suddenly, a boy walked in front of me, I looked at him oddly, he was wearing a black hoodie which covered his whole face, and he wore black jeans with black sneakers, which made him look quite suspicious to be honest, "May I help you?" I asked calmly, then I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head, and then I fell to the ground, a split second before I fell, a sharp pain hit my leg, I haven't lost consciousness though, I heard laughing, and I saw two boys, actually... I don't know if it was a boy or a girl dressed in black -_-' but moreover, my vision was blurry as hell, "HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!" I heard a voice, I'm pretty sure it echoed through the whole park, since it was extremely quiet, you could hear most of the wind's gentle whispering, then I heard things like "ACK!", or "OW!", and even, "HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TOUCHING?!" along with an apology, to which I sweatdropped, my vision was getting more clearer by the minute, but when I could see my surroundings better now the two guys disappeared, and the only ones left at the park was me and...

WTF?!

"You okay?" HE asked, my eyes widened and I stared at him for a few seconds, "Y-You're the guy I bumped into earlier!" I said pointing at him while he scratched his head awkwardly, "Uh... Yeah.. Hehe, I always stop by the park after school, and then I saw two "men-in-black" guys trying to put you inside a bag... So... I.. saved you..?" He tried to explain, "Really? Thank you..." I said picking up the book Rean gave me and slid it in my bag which fell along with me, "Welcome.." He said as I stood up, well... TRIED to stand up, everytime I tried to stand, extreme pain filled my right leg, causing me to fall, but then I felt warm hands on my back, then before I knew it... this.. guy was currently carrying me bridal style..
