When I got into the kitchen I turned on the small light above the counter and grabbed a small cup from the cabinet, it was close enough to the edge that I could reach it without the stool. I filled it with water and took it back to my room.

I turned on my Owl City CD and sat down in my bed. As I was sitting there in the dark drinking my water and listening to my music I still couldn't get over that dream. I mean… It's been two years since I've had it last. That happened when I was eleven; I had the dreams for two years. They stopped a little while before I turned thirteen. But oh well, I've just gotta get over it. No matter how much I'm scared. I looked over my clock and it was flashing 4:00am. Great… Today is the day we actually start working in classes and I'm going to be as tired as all hell.

I let out a sigh, "Well I don't think I'm gonna be able to get back to sleep so I might as well just get ready..." I grabbed my uniform and headed to the bathroom to start my usual morning routine.

When I got out of the bathroom it was not five o'clock. I decided to put my hair in pigtails today. I know it just makes me look even younger than I already do, but I think it looks really cute. Oh, and did I mention that stupid Takei person yesterday? Apparently he's the school president and he's got a problem with my hair being pink. But I could really care less. Besides, Haru-kun got him off my case for me. I giggle at the memory of the poor class president back up against the wall with Haru in his face shouting about how it was the way I most comfortable and if he wanted me to change it he was gonna have to go through him first. It was amazing and it really made me wonder how I was so lucky to have such great friends.

After about thirty minutes of just sitting in my room thinking I got hungry and decided to go make breakfast. I went into the kitchen and got out all the things for French toast, my favorite. I thought that maybe my favorite breakfast while watching my favorite morning anime might help to put me in a better mood.

Well, as it turns out, I was wrong. It didn't help at all. Well the food did, but not the anime… I just had to be the episode where one of my favorite characters got killed. Joy.

Pretty soon my mum and dad got up. When they came out they had shocked looks on their faces.

"What are you doing up Akemi? Usually I have to drag you out of bed like I'm pulling teeth." My mum walked over to me.

"Oh… Well I uhm… I… I had that dream again…" I looked down at my feet, "It happened about 12 and I couldn't go back to sleep so I just got up and tried doing things to keep my mind off of it."

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry sweetheart. Well, just try and have a good day. You know you would always talk to Momiji-"

"NO!" I cut her off, "I can't! He can't know the truth about what happened that day or he'll think it's his fault… And it's not, so forget it. I can handle it on my own."

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry Hun."

"Mm… Its ok, I'm gonna go see Sakura really fast. Let me know when I the boys get here…" I grabbed a dog treat out of the cupboard and went into the back yard, "Sakura! Sakura-chan~" I called to my dog. She's a large Saint Bernard who's only about eight months, yet she's the size of a small coffee table already.

When as she pranced over to me she jumped on me and knocked me down to the ground. She loving licked my face, "Stop Saku-chan, you're going to jack up my make-up." I pushed her face away from my own and sat up.

I hugged her tightly and buried my face into her soft fur and just sat there like that until I felt a light pressure on my shoulder. When I looked up I saw Momiji's soft brown eyes and his sweet smiled, "Ohayo Akemi, your mom said you were feeling a little down today… What's wrong?" I sounded worried.

"It's nothing Momiji-kun, don't worry about it. Let's just get going." I smiled up at him and went started our walk to school with Haru.

When we got to school we went up to Torhu, Yuki, and Kyo. They were standing by the gate with Uotani and Hanajima.

"Good morning Akemi-chan." Torhu smiled at me, "Uhm… You know, I don't want to sound rude, but you don't look so good."

"Yeah, you've got some major bags under your eyes." Uotani pointed out.

"I just didn't sleep well. It's fine." I shrugged it off and the bell rang, "Well let's go to class." 'Cause I really need some sleep…' I grabbed Momiji's hand and ran off with him to class. When I looked back at him his face was rather red, but I couldn't figure out why. Was he coming down with something? "Are you ok Momiji-chan? You're face is all red."

"N-neh? I'm fine, why?" his color increase.

"Oh my god, are you blushing?" burst out laughing, "Why would you be blushing?"

"I'm not blushing!" he shouted defensively.

"Ok, sure you're not." I smirked and we stopped running when we finally got to the classroom.

"I'm not!"

"Ok, ok, what ever." I rolled my eyes and we took our seat." 'Ok… He was soooo blushing… I just have to figure out why…' I thought determinedly.
