chapter nine

The scenes from last night was still vivid in your thoughts. Somehow, the sun shined quite brightly today, it was perfect to take shots of the school's sakura trees right beside the entrance gate.

The rain from last night left an abundance of raindrops that stayed with the blades of grass and the soft petals of the sakura tree. It was perfect.

"Oh, it's Y/n-san."

You look over to who it was, recognizing the silvery hair and the scary looking third year.

"Oh, good morning Suga-san, Asahi-san. May I ask what brings you here?" You said. Besides it being lunch break, there wouldn't be anything else for them to be here.

"Ah right, about that. Have you seen Daichi?" Suga stepped in and wispered. "I haven't seen him since earlier."

You hummed a little 'oh' and looked over to your sides in hopes to spot the said captain. "I don't think I have."

Suga's face melted into one of frustration. It was obvious he was looking for his friend for quite some time now, and he still haven't found him.

You felt bad for the senior, his expression says it all. Even Asahi couldn't help but sigh in defeat. "Um...I can help you if you want."

Suga's eyes shot up in hope. "Really?! You will?!" He sounded so happy you couldn't help but crack up a smile.

"Sure. But let's hurry though, the skies' been gloomy for quite some time, there could be rain coming."

"Oh, you're right." Asahi agreed looking up at the sky. "We should split up so we can find him easier."

All of you went your separate ways, Suga being in the main school, Asahi by the gym, and you, by the places back. It wasn't a suprise that not many students went here to eat lunch, it was simply far too eerie for anyone to be in. It had been quite dark since earlier, a sign of an incoming pouring rain. It would get quite cold later on, and you took note of that.

You tried to search for Daichi but to no avail. Why would he be in this eerie place anyways? It was obvious he probably was just inside the schools and Suga had the misfortune of not bumping into him--

"Oh my~ my hand slipped!"

What just happened?

Cold had run down your body and your eyes began to blur. There were ice cubes on the floor beside your feet, scattered about. The cold water had made your clothes stick to your body, and you could full well feel the sting from the ice cubes that impacted your head.

A blue bucket fell beside you from above, taking note that the person who threw the ice cold water was probably from up high.

Tsugimi...Yuko...

"If I were you, I would probably be out of here already. Why are you so stubborn?"

You can hear her faintly, but enough to make out the things she was saying. The muffled bell rang from inside the hallways, and Tsugimi went ahead laughing proudly to herself about what she's done.

The rain had started to pour, and it was well past lunchbreak when you had snapped out of it and stumbled down in one corner. You hadn't noticed your lip bleeding, it looked like you were biting too hard on it to not feel the stinging pain.

One period ended to another, with you only sitting by the wet ground. You wanted to get up and attend classes as it were not excused for a student to stay out without a clear acceptable excuse. Cutting of classes is not a very nice story to tell.

But your head was pounding, and your body was cold and trembling. The intense pouring of the rain didn't help, as it only worsened your condition. The only places that might be open right now is the volleyball gym, if it isn't, then you wouldn't have a choice other than to wait outside as it were the closest building you could go to.
