Chapter 5

(Hey guys, there was a major thunderstorm in Antigo, so I decided to write.)

During 1st period I couldn't help but zone out. I don't even remember what I was thinking about, but I sure did think about it a lot, cause before I knew it, class was over. Well, it will come to me eventually. Either way, today was the day of the school field trip.

"Hey, Yamato." I heard Suzuka yell. "Are you ready for the school field trip?"

"Heck yeah, any day that I can get out of this place is like a dream. But where are we going this time?"

"Really, you sign up without even knowing where we were headed?" She was obviously annoyed at that, because she gave me a glance that I haven't seen in a while. I kind of wished that it never came back. (In case you don't remember, he's talking about the glance she gave him when she said 'incompetent thinking' was one thing that annoyed her in the starting episodes.)

"Well, in my defense, my aunt signed me up. I didn't even know that there was a trip."

"WHAT?! How did you not know that. They only said it in like every class for the past 2 weeks." She was leaning back like she was blown away at my stupidity.

"Well, I kind of have been zoning out lately. I don't even remember what I was thinking about the past weeks, but it has been stuck in my head. I'm failing nearly every class but math." I honestly wish I remembered, but I knew that I wasn't for a while, if ever.

"Wait, you are failing every class but math?" I nodded. "Well then, I guess that I could tutor you. Unlike you, I have been paying attention."

At that moment, I had a great idea. "Okay. If I allow you to tutor me, then there is one condition." She looked at me questioningly. "You have to describe your dream house to me. Or, more in your words, where we are going to live in the future.

"Okay, why not." That response was actually what I expected. Because I knew that in her head she was thinking something like 'he is gonna be living there to, so I owe him that'.

"Hey, so where are we going again? And I don't even have to look at you to know that you are giving me that look again." I was simply looking up at the sky, laying in the grass, with my hands behind my head. Oh wait, I forgot to mention that we weren't leaving until after 5th period. And right now it's gym, 2nd period. And every one was taking a break.

This is where I lay every time though, on this same hill. Some people might find it boring, sitting in the same location, but I don't care. Anyways, back to the question. Suzuka answered, "the lake."

"What, really. Never would of thought that the school would take us to the lake. Guess that is why they were talking about it for the past 2 weeks." Of course, in my head I was thinking, 'I'm gonna see Suzuka in her swim suit? Man I am gonna love this field trip. Wait a minute, are they gonna make us where our school ones. Oh I hope not.'

Unfortunately Suzuka knew me a little too well, for she knew exactly what I was thinking. "Well you don't have to worry. They said that we can wear our own suits." She said that while giving me a playful wink. Honestly, with what has been going on, I don't think that her change can shock me anymore. Maybe it's just me.

Anyways, during lunch was the time that I zoned out the most. As soon as it was a chat only between Yasunobu, Miki, and Suzuka, I zoned out again. And unfortunately this time, the one time I wanted to keep going to hopefully remember, Suzuka woke me up. I wasn't just zoned out, I was full on asleep. But when I woke up, Suzuka was crying. Once I noticed my surroundings I noticed that I was in the hospital.

"Suzuka, what am I doing here? Last thing I knew I was in the cafeteria." Her face was starting to scare me. What exactly happened?

"You fell asleep on the table. We thought that you were just tired so we left you. But when the bell rang and we tried waking you up, you never did. Now that I think about it, I may have made a scene, yelling your name and all trying to get you up."

"How long exactly have I been asleep?" I asked. I knew that it was longer that 2 days, cause if it were only that long then I would be at her apartment.

"3 weeks." Those two words made me jump a little. Well, no matter how long, I remembered now. What I was zoning out about that is.

It was more like someone was talking to me, repeating something repeatedly. 'Your time is up, time to rest. Rest and never wake up.' I don't know why, but I wasn't even scared. It's like I knew that he wasn't serious. Either way, I wasn't planning on telling Suzuka any time soon.

The thing that shocked me was that I was thinking of that one phrase, repeating itself over, and over for over 3 weeks. How important was that phrase to make me zone out that long? Maybe I should be worried. But no matter what, I refuse to tell her. I might worry her.

"What's wrong? You don't look so well." I didn't even notice, but I felt like I was gonna faint. I really didn't want that to happen, so I decided to push myself until I knew it was only a little drowsiness. Just enough to let me sleep till the next day, but that's it.

"I'm fine. Just got up too fast, that's all. A little dizzy. But I'm better now."

(So, comment what you think and what I should put in the next chapter. I'm thinking of taking advice from the readers for a chapter. I might even ask for ideas for more, depending on how many good ideas you got.)
