...promise me......
A hazy dream comes to visit a sleeping Kyousuke (享佑) once a month. He is unsure if it is a collective manifestation of a past memory but each time the dream plays out the exact same scene. In front of him stood a figure clad in...
This name is something I am too familiar with. It's the only recognizable word I hear from a dream I keep getting once a month since I was 12 and I'm now 17 years old yet I still see it. Who; or what Kezuke is, I am unsure. One thing I know though, is that I need to get out of my warm bed to prepare for school.
"That's easier said than done"
Unfortunately, it was a cold autumn morning meaning getting out of bed is quite the predicament. The unresponsible side of me says I should take a 5-minute nap but I'm pretty sure it'll end up being a 2 hour sleep instead. With a moment of pause; I regain my willpower and I head off outside my room.
I come upon the exact same scenery every autumn when walking off to school; leaves falling off gracefully as the autumn wind caresses the trees and dried foliage which extends endlessly into the deep forest. I, Kinoshita Kyousuke walk alone through the stone pathway.
"..Kinoshita"
How ironic; my family's surname means "he who lives under a tree". It feels as if it was a name specifically tailored to my family's lineage. It was because of my surname that I got appointed by my homeroom teacher to be the one to bring schoolwork two months ago, to a classmate named Shiromori Yuna who's never attended ever since the school's opening ceremony. Her surname means "white forest" and my surname means "he who lives under a tree". With that coincidental relative reasoning, it's not hard to imagine why it had to be me. Admittedly; I am interested in seeing her as the person who's appointed to bring her schoolwork, maybe a friend can motivate her to go to school again and I want to be that very friend.
"That being said. It sure would be soooooo convenient if we had ziplines or something that can make going to school faster."
The walk is quite the long one in order to get to my High School Maruyama Dai-ichi. Our home is situated near the summit of a mountain. In order to get to school I need to walk down a really long stone pathway which leads to my hometown Matsugawa. Near the schoolgates I'm greeted by a familiar voice.
"Morning Kyousuke! Did you sleep well yesterday?" a voice from behind inquires him.
"Yeah, although I had to turn up the heater since it was very cold"
"I just slept through the night like a rock! Apparently there was a short power outage? I didn't get woken up though haha!"
This enthusiastic voice belongs to a guy named Watabe Houtarou which is a good friend of mine since middle school. He mostly talks before thinking though.
"You don't really like paying attention to things so that much is a given I guess.." replied Kyousuke.
"Whats with that rude remark man? I thought we were best of friends!" said a displeased Houtarou.
"Very chummy, so early in the morning. It's specifically that we're best friends that I know your quircks."
"Ahaha, well you got me there"
