Chapter 3 – Witness
Rin ran the fastest she could. She needed to get home quickly. It was a mistake, to let her hatred for that boy to take over her. Hatred was an emotion and emotions made her powers manifest.
While she ran, Rin passed by a lot of people and could hear the thoughts of everyone of them. In the city she and Rinto lived before, it was calm and never had so many people on the streets, so it was easy to concentrate in only one thing. In that humongous city, however, Rin felt like she was going crazy.
I'm late for work!
Is he going to call me today?
This day is so tiring!
I'm concerned about my mother…
Those were the thoughts of some people that passed by Rin in the streets. Everyone oof them, at the same time, it was too much for Rin. Rin smiled relieved when she saw her house from afar. Her relief, however, was something Rin couldn't feel.
The girl started to panic when she noticed that a trash can at her side started to float. Rin looked at the sides and got almost happy when she realized that, by a miracle, there's no one to witness that.
Control yourself, Rin. Control yourself! You need to control yourself!
Rin repeated these words like a mantra in her mind, but the panic she was feeling in that moment wasn't helping at all. Why now? Why? Why couldn't her powers wait until she arrived at her house? Where she wouldn't be able to hurt anyone beside herself. Where no one would see the monster she was.
Rin started to pant and hit the gates of a house. She was a few meters away from her house; she needed to put some effort to get there. The gates where she was leaning started to shake, making the girl fall into the ground. Rin started to feel tired, trash cans, light poles, gates, everything around her was shaking. The girl began to feel her conscious fading and everything she saw before fainting were pretty blue eyes and blond hair.
Len walked behind Rin, keeping a good distance from her. He couldn't help but smile, noticing that even after many minutes, she was still angry at him. And he hasn't even made anything truly wrong!
The boy's smile faded when he realized that something was wrong with the girl. She seemed scared and stared at everyone that walked in the streets with fear in her eyes. Len quickened his pace, trying to reach her, but she started to run. Len decided to run after her.
The girl was strangely faster than him, but he could stay close enough to see things float around her. Could it be…? Len didn't know how to react for a moment and stopped when she stopped to run too. He watched as she leaned against the gates of his house, panting.
That moment, Len could see the girl's eyes. They had changed from blue to glowing golden. That meant she had a power medium level and, apparently, she has no control over it.
When she girl fell sitting on the ground, Len ran in her direction, she stared at him before fainting.
X-X-X
Rin woke up feeling a strong headache and was feeling a little disoriented. She looked around and realized she was in her room. But, how? She struggled a little and then remembered what had happened. She had lost control outside and the last thing she saw was… That boy, Len! He was there! Had he seen what she had done?
Rin got startled when her bedroom's door opened, revealing Rinto. The man smiled, carrying a tray with a breakfast that looked delicious. He sat on the bed, close to Rin.
"You're awake..."
"What happened?" Rin asked quickly.
"You fainted in the sidewalk, close to here. You're lucky a classmate found you and brought you here."
"Classmate?"
"Yeah. I think his name was... Len, yes, Len."
So he was really there! God, what would happen with her now? What would he do?
"What did he say?"
"He said he saw you fainting and that you probably had a blood pressure drop. Rin, what happened?" the girl stayed silent, Rinto sighed, "Well, eat this; you must be hungry."
Rinto left the room and Rin kept staring at the lunch in front of her. Len had said to Rinto that he thought Rin had a pressure drop. Didn't he see what happened before she fainted? Or maybe was he lying? Rin looked at the clock; it was still the same day. She decided that, the next day, she would confront the boy for the truth.
Some hours later, Rinto came back to the girl's room and found her watching TV. Rin looked at him looking bored. Rinto had a large grin on his face.
"The boy who found you came back here a few minutes ago. He asked if you were fine! A boy was worried about my Rinny! The first day of school and you already have a secret admirer!" Rin rolled her eyes, Rinto could be so immature some times, " Guess what? He is our neighbor!"
"WHAT?"
Rin felt as if she would faint again. In addition to having witnessing something he shouldn't, that annoying guy that liked to stop her from ending her lived was her neighbor? Rin felt that her life made no sense anymore.
X-X-X
Rin looked to each side of the street. She knew the idiot from yesterday was her neighbor, but which house was his? She waited there for ten minutes, to see if he would pass by her to go to school, but she ended up giving up, she didn't want to arrive late.
Len looked through the window at the girl that was looking to every house in the street. He could tell what she was doing. Probably waiting for him, to ask what he had seen the day before. He decided to pretend he knew nothing, he wanted to help her, but he needed to gain her trust first.
Rin walked slowly to the school, if she could, she would be feeling really discouraged right now. She stopped when she heard a voice screaming her name. Turning around, she saw that girl with green hair she had met yesterday, Gumi, and her friend, Miki.
"Hey, Rin! Miki and I are going to school, want to come with us?"
"Hn."
Rin didn't want to make friends with those girls. She didn't even know what is friendship, in reality, she just wanted that everything she could hurt to stay away from her. But Gumi took hold of her arm and pulled her excitedly to the school together with Miki.
X-X-X
During the lunch time, Rin finally was able to find Len. It looked like he was avoiding her. She stood up from the table she was with Miki and Gumi and ran to the boy's direction, who was with his friends' group.
Rin pulled Len's arm in front of practically the whole school, but this time, she paid no mind. She could hear the unbelieving thoughts of the ones in the refectory, but she could only concentrate in get answers from the boy.
Rin pulled Len to a secluded corner of the school and, strangely, the boy followed her without complaining. When Rin felt it was safe to talk, she turned to him.
"What did you see yesterday?"
"What?"
"Yesterday, when I fainted. What did you see?"
"Uhn... I saw you on the ground, you were really pale and panting. In think it was a drop of blood pressure. You need to eat better."
"Really, was it the only thing you saw?"
"Huh? There's more for me to see?"
"No…"
"Do you want anything more?"
"Hn." Rin turned to leave, but Len held her hand.
"I'm sure you didn't bring me here just to talk. If you want a kiss you can simply ask!"
"What?" Rin blushed hopelessly. Len only chuckled and went back to the refectory.
When Len went back, every student stopped talking and eating to look at him. Rin arrived just after him and he noticed she was pretty uncomfortable. He wanted to help the poor girl, but he could miss a chance to irritate her.
"What are you all looking at? Have you never seen a boy being harassed by a girl?" He yelled to everyone in the refectory, that went back to what they were doing.
Rin thought she would die, that moment. No, not die. She wanted to kill a certain blond! Huffing in anger, Rin returned to the table in which Gumi and Miki were, staring at her scared.
"Rin, what was that with Len?" asked Miki.
"Yeah! It's only your second day of school and you go pulling the most wanted guy of the whole school to a corner like that!" Gumi almost shouted.
"What? It's nothing like you guys are thinking! He's my neighbor and I needed to ask him about something that happened yesterday…"
The girls nodded, but kept looking at Rin suspicious. Right, now everyone in the school was thinking she had some kind of relationship with the most popular boy of school! God, he was such an idiot. Of course it was her fault too, for pulling him like that, but did he really need to make that show? She was feeling so angry. Wait, angry? It was the second time she felt angry and didn't release her powers. And in those two times, her hatred was directed to that guy. What did that mean?
X-X-X
Wah! So now Len knows about Rin's powers! Why do you think he didn't seem surprised or scared of her? Why does he want to help her? Why does he like to annoy her?
Sorry if there are too many mistakes or weird sentences!
See you next time!
Review before you leave!
