Fifteen:


Akachi National High School


I woke up this morning with an unfinished business. Almos just pushed me away from my dream.


It was just annoying because my dream ended with a big question. Why does Almos have to explain to me when I have not yet asked about that matter?


Well, I wanted to know it but then, why is it that every time I want to be enlightened about Almos and me, I wake up from the dream and I completely forget what I should ask.


I let out a deep breath when someone suddenly flicked my forehead.


"Ouch!" I quickly massage my forehead. "What do you think you were doing, Chadd?!" I irritably asked him.


"You're spacing out so you don't even have time to watch my practice. I thought you would agree to accompany me until the end of my practice because you feel guilty because you are losing time for me, then you will do that? Now, I'm so upset."


Of course, I promised to be with him until the end of his practice but I can't forget what happened to Almos and me. Now, I am so guilty about it.


"I'm so sorry, Chaddy! It's because I didn't get enough sleep that's why I'm spacing out."


"Then, it is better if I take you home."


"No!" I quickly stop him when he was about to leave and firmly hold his hand. "I'm just fine so please, get back to practice and don't mind me. I'll be more active, I promise."


Chadd look at me longer before he let out a deep breath. "Alright, if that is what you said but promise me if you can no longer stay here, you may go first, okay?"


"Okay." I answered and smiled.


...


As I watched Chadd practice I couldn't help but think of Almos but I also immediately turned my mind back to Chadd as much as I could.


"Can't forget about me?"


Suddenly I heard his voice.


"Almos!" I quickly stand up and turned at my left only to find him standing there. "Wh-what are you doing here?" I asked then turned around to see if Chadd and the others see him.


"Nothing to worry, they do not see us."


"Us?"


"Yes us."


"How?"


"Half reality and half dream, we're at the between of it."
