Normal Pov: a year passed and many changed began to occur. Especially between Guren and Ceylan their friendship started to become stormy. Guren now sleeps under a bridge and manages his life. Ceylan and Melodie have been dating for 2 months. Toxsa begins to grow curious, and Chooki begins to be concerned. Guren has many physical changes his hair is now ungelled and shaggy dyed a light brown. he now has bangs that cover his head. He has a short black t shirt tagged with short blue jeans and white sneakers along with a red jacket. Everyones lives have begin to become a solo pathway for the 4 of them.
Guren's Pov: Never had i imagined my life to fall downhill. I dont know why i wasnt allowed to go home but since my father had mentioned that. I started to find that answer on my own. I met a young men who looked about the age of 25 living under the bridge with me. He wore rags and had many scars cross his cheeks. To me he was usually in a pleasent mood. He was a young white man with blonde hair. He had told me that he couldnt afford shoes. Never had i asked of his name i felt my gut telling me that it would be plain rude of asking him. He and I were sitting down on the concrete under the bridge looking at the rivers waves moving. The young men held a piece of warm bread in his right hand.
"You know being homeless isnt neccesarly a bad thing, in fact people have more of a generous attitude towards you." I looked at him and smiled " You do have a point." the waves started to make a sizzling noise. The man looked at me with a look of innocene "If this dosent bother you, do you mind going to the Daltons diner and bringing back more bread." I stood up and looked at him " Sure i dont mind im pretty sure the prices are cheap today." He smiled widely and chuckled " Thank you very much i swear by the gods that the afterlife will treat you well."
My cheeks turned pink I continued to smile "You really didnt have to say that i just want to help people in need." His eyes widened "Oh and dont forget your backpack." He handed it quickly to me as if he wanted me out of his sight. I raised a eyebrow " But im going to be right back with the bread." He let a fake smile escape his lips "Just in case you wont i mean you never know what could happen. Plus i plan to explore the city today and bringing back more items we could use to survive."
I couldn't tell if he was hiding something or it something was bubbling up his mind. I ended the conversation with a smile and started walking to the diner. Luckily i wouldnt run into my parents.
Toxsa's Pov: The diner was super busy today. since Wakamei came up with an idea letting every fridays meals be lowered to paying a cheap amount. Many people were standing around the counter admiring my sister and those people were high school guys in the 12th grade along with my sister who brags on being a senior. If those guys think my sister is all that they should see her with a beauty mask on. she looks like a dead person.
"Your so pretty!" One senior boy hollared to my sister. "
"I call dibs on her." Another guy shouted pushing the other senior to the wall.
"What was that for!" the first guy shouted back making a fist. Both of the guys kept throwing insults back at each other. Its a guy thing in which my sister didn't understand. She raced to the two seniors and shouted "Enough already! If you got nothing nice to say then dont say it at all and if you got a problem with that then leave." the two guys were quite suprised on how loud she shouted and decided to compliment her once again. Which made Wakamei blush.
I stood behind the counter not wanting any attention. Wakamei forced me to wear the " I love Dirty Dipers." apron from the supply closet as a punishment. Ceylan and Melodie walked in the diner holding hands and making kissy faces at each other which made me sick.
"Hey Toxsa," Melodie said in a happy tone "whats up."
"Nothing much." I glanced at Ceylan who was stareing at the broken lime parfait machine. Melodie poked his shoulder with her free hand in which got Ceylan's attention. " The lime parfait machine." Ceylan whimpered "what happened to it." I hate when Ceylan overeacts and treats it as if his world would come to an end.
"Its okay Ceylan." Melodie conforted "If you want we could make out."
Ceylan smiled and whispered something to her. Both of them were sitting down near the corner holding hands and kissing. I felt like i was about to puke. I dont think i can stand my own rival having a girlfriend. Not that i care for him or anything but we dont argue as much anymore once Melodie cam into the picture. Chooki lately has been having alot of sports activitys in the way. As for Guren he's in his own world i havent heard from him since last year. Im a guy who really cant except change.
Wakemai's Pov: I love having a bunch of guys giving me attention but not making complete fools of theirselves just to impress me. I kindof felt bad for torturing Toxsa. He hasnt been having a well started morning since my parents plan to leave out of town tonight. I was in charge of Toxsa. Im glad to see Toxsa giving a helping hand at the diner but he looks rather glum. I never really see his friends come around to stop and say hi. Change was a word Toxsa would turn and run away from. Just looking at him right now pained me. A sudden hand was on my shoulder i quickly turned around and saw Toxsa looking down to his feet.
"Is it okay if you can take over for awhile." He asked untieing his apron.
I nodded and grabbed his wrist " Are you going to be okay?"
He nodded giving me a soft but unsure smile to me "Thanks Wakamei."
As soon as Toxsa disapeared from my eyes. I admediatly went back to the counter to write down peoples orders. I'd never saw Toxsa in such a terrible mood before. It took a effect on me.
Beni's Pov: There were many roses near the Benham coffee shop. I saw many married couples holding hands. Since the coffee shop was a outdoor base setting. Many waiters were needed of assitance. I was waiting for Gen to arrive. We barely talked since Villus was defeat on quarton in which saved the planet. I pulled my long pink hair into a ponytail. I wore a magenta silky knee length dress in which belonged to my mother, and had creamed colored sandals that were a perfect fit for me. I wonder how the knights are doing since the final fight. I havent kept in touch with them. Does Gen hate me? Would he find me to be pathetic? my thoughts have started to cloud up with many quiestions until a soft hand rested on my shoulder. I looked to see Gen wearing a black tuxcedo with leather black shoes.
He smirked "So you decided to dress nice in order to impress me." I gave him a you are a idiot expression and crossed my arms. "I could say the same back at you." He chuckled after hearing me and looked at one couple who was placing wedding rings on each others fingers. The though of him standing next to me made me ave a tingling feeling. Both of us were a song without words. We both werent the types of people to engage into a topic especially me. I am the clouds in which buries his shadows underneath. I always had the feeling of sorrow and lonelieness fill my soul. But whenever im around Gen thoose emotions fade and turn to dust. As if the world had forgiven me letting me have a second chance to live.
Gen cleared his throat and looked at me "Do you wanna walk around." I nodded and looked back at him. The feeling of akwardness had filled us for a couple of seconds. Until i started to walk away from him in which he followed me. We were walking in a path we both trusted. When i take a look at the many changes that have occured. I see smiles on many people, children laughing and playing with each other. I looked down to my feet the feeling of guilt has entered my thoughts. After everything i had done why would he still talk to me?
Gen's Pov: Beni looked rather down. I do have a guess to why shes feeling that way. I once was like her having trouble letting go of the past and having doubts. But now i decided to find a path that works for me and to find the answers to my past on my own.
"Gen." She said softly "Do you find me to be pathetic, do you hate me for the many incidents i have caused." I looked at her to see tears falling down her cheeks. Did my feelings really matter to her?
I shook my head no "The real quiestion is do you hate yourself." Her eyes widened. Silence had filled both of us for a couple of seconds until she wrapped her arms around me and sobbed softly. Usually i wouldn't let anyone clinge on to me but this time i decided to make a exception. My heart started to race.. what was this feeling i have? Could i really have fallen for Beni?
Chooki's Pov: Ever since our last fight on quarton we all went back to the many things we have done before. From what I've heard Ceylan is trying to make better jokes. Toxsa now contributes at the diner. Gen is still trying to find out on where his path will take him. I haven't heard from Beni and Guren. As for me playing basketball and soccer with some close friends of mine. Like the usual i would never lose. But this time i started to lose my edge a little. I remember when i was 8 and Toxsa was 7 we met at the soccer field, the field in which has changed. Playing on this field with my school friends wasn't the same as when i was with Toxsa. Hard to believe that he enjoyed sports. But all of that has changed when a relative of his passed on. I knew Toxsa couldn't except change since that incident happened.
I was laying down against the grass looking at the clouds form shapes. I was breaking in sweat my clothes were soaked in moist.
"Bye Chooki." One of my friends shouted.
"See you Tomorrow." The other called out.
I sat up and waved looking at them until they were out of my sight. Then i layed back and stared at the clouds. Ceylan didnt really seem to care about anything anymore. Guren became more distant from what i've heard. His cousins have moved in with his parents from what Ceylan has told me. The last time i had encountered with Ceylan was a month ago when i was getting a new haircut from the barber shop. My hair was up to my shoulders now. My thoughts are mixed with my emotions. I felt as if Guren and Ceylan are hiding some secrets from me and Toxsa.
