~ Blue Angel~
...Hurts.
It all hurts...
...Soreness, everywhere.
I opened my eye's.
Where was I?
I moved my hands to feel around me.
A blanket...? ...No, I was on a bed.
I don't remeber going home at all though...I turned right. A big blue furry thing, was lying next to me.
Blue and...furry? An animal?..Is there such a...? I reached out to touch it, and jerked my hand back when it moved.
"Mmmph..." it groaned. What the heck?... I grabbed my pillow as a shield.
It sat up, rubbed it's eyes, then opened one revealing a sea of blue.
"Kura, Oh your finally awake!"
"Wha- what are you talking about?"
"Eh you mean you don't...-"
"WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?" I threw the pillow at him.
"Itai...Itai...It hurts..." he rubbed his face.
"Your not at your house, your in the nurses office."
"Nurse...?"
"You don't remeber what happened? You sorta took a huge fall off the dive board, almost drowned."
Yes. I remebered now.
The feeling of all the air being knocked from your lungs when you fall,
only to be replaced by gallons of water...
But why? Why am I still alive? No one here would have the slightest thought of saving me...
I grabbed my head. ...It hurts.
:::Angel In Blue:::
"Are you okay? The nurse said you'd wake up, but she said it's best if you'd just lie down for a bit."
"I don't understand..." She mumbled.
"What?" I looked confused. "The nurse said to-"
"No. I dont understand why your here. "Are you just some hallucination thats mocking me?"
"Wha..."
"Well Guess what? The feeling I had when I woke up...was...why haven't I died yet."
All I could do is watch helplessly as she wobbled off the bed, her legs weak. She fell near the door, but managed to grab the wall and steady herself.
I reached out to help her.
"Don't touch me" she slapped my hands away.
She gave me a melting glare before wobbling out down the hall,
and out of my sight.
I sighed and flopped back in my chair. Honestly...
The door slid open, startling me. No way...she didn't come back did she?
I turned my head to see a woman in all white.
"Ah...Aioro, is she awake yet?"
"Well..."I grimaced.
"She sorta did get up, but she kind of stormed out. I'll go look for her..."
The nurse raised her hand. "No need."
"Eh, but aren't you worri-"
She walked to her desk. "Actually..., I'm not."
"She's sort of a regular in here,...and you'd be suprised how often she does that. She looked down and scribbled something on a clipboard then continued,
"Most of the time after I treat her, she's gone before I come back."
A Loud bell rung. "Well it's time for Lunch, you should go ahead and eat. I'll finish up here." She motioned towards the door.
I nodded and got up from my chair, then walked down the hallway littered with students.
On the way to get my lunch from my classroom, my mind sort of drifted.
I don't understand that girl...
(Flashback)
"Don't touch me."
(Present)
Why is she so angry and dark all the time? She acts like everyone in the world has done something to her...
I became aware of the people around me again. I tuned into some of their whispering.
Two girls...
"Hey did you see? It was very cool how he jumped in and saved her."
"Yeah, but im sorta jelous... I want him to do CPR on me too..."
"Ugh, I know what you mean...I hate Ikari, she just ruins everything
for everybody."
"Yeah,...I kinda wished she had just drowned, right there."
"Well, I'm sure everyone would have prefered it that way."
"Ha ha I know right?"
I stared at them as they walked off, laughing together.
Suddenly the same words were coming from everywhere...
(Whispers)
"Hey man, did you see the rescue?"
"Yeah I did."
"I kinda feel stupid for cheering for her earlier...",
"I know...the new kid got me kinda hyped, so without realizing it I started cheering too."
"Ha ha how stupid of her, she almost drowned."
"Oh man I was holding my breath the whole time!"
"Too bad, eh?"
They laughed and high-fived.
What...?
When I got to the classroom, I took out the lunch from my desk.
A couple of girls came up to me and asked me to eat with them,
but I declined.
For some reason, I wasn't feeling very hungry.
I looked outside the window, at a tree moving with the wind.
...The Willow Tree! I grabbed my lunch and ran outside.
I got there, breathless. When I looked up, there was no one there.
I sighed and walked up to the tree.
Right when I was about to sit, I looked down.
A Small and not very apparent, patch of grass had been flattened.
And part of the tree right near it, smelled faintly of shampoo.
...She had been here.
My mouth tingled, and I touched my lips, where hers...
had met mine.
