The Storm is Coming
-Taro-
I feel like someone has been following me.
I don't know how to describe it. It's not like the spirits in the Hidden Realm. I am not certain about what it wants. So far, nothing has happened. I don't know how long that will be. While on my bike this morning, I looked over my shoulder. I could only see my classmates walking to school. But, they are there.
"Yo, Taro!" I heard. When I looked up, I saw Masayuki walking towards me.
"Hi," I said, waving. I looked over his shoulder.
"Looking for someone?" he asked.
"I'm not sure," I said. Masayuki gave me a perplexed look.
"What do you mean?" he asked. I rubbed the back of my head.
"I'm not certain how to put this," I said. "But I have the follow that something, or someone, has been following me lately."
"Like who?" Masayuki asked.
"I don't know," I admitted. He grabbed me by the shoulders and chuckled.
"It's probably nothing," he said. I forced myself to smile.
"Maybe," I said.
"Say, have you heard about the typhoon coming this weekend?" Masayuki asked. I lifted my head.
"Hm? Oh, yeah. Is it coming Friday or Saturday?"
Masayuki took a minute to think. "Saturday, the last I heard."
"I see." I happened to look down the street and feel that someone was watching me again. This time, I noticed a pair of eyes staring back at me. Only, these amber eyes looked kind of sad in a strange way. I don't know what they want from me. Maybe they are lonely?
Masayuki dragged me along to school before I could finish that thought.
