Another chance at love

A new journey

Ichinosei pov

Last night was super crazy, a ghost from my future told me about regrets and sad things that would happen to me, which made me sad, but now that she's here we can change the future together!

She also told me about this boy which made my heart flutter, he apparently saves me from so many issues and listens to me all the time, she makes it seem like he's a knight in shining armour 'i can't wait to meet him'

Future Ichinosei pov

I watched as she brought her heel up and down in excitement, the smile on her face brighter than the sun, she combs her hair over and over again making sure that it had a fluffy consistency

'I didn't remember being this excited but I suppose that's a good thing', I smiled

After 40 minutes of preparation she said her goodbyes and left for the bus stop

Following behind her I didn't notice before but she really was a head turner huh, even elderly woman were at awe at her beauty

She however remained ignorant of the gazes and reached the bus stop in time

Perhaps it was because she took a little more time with her make up but the bus was unusually packed

Sigh I'm going to sleep for a little longer

Ichinosei pov

I shuffled my way into the crowded bus, well more like shoved into it but it wasn't like everyone was doing it on purpose

Soon after a few minutes of moving around I settled at a little corner where I wasn't really proded by people's elbows

However there was student who was taller than me had his elbow near my eyes and at the next stop my worst thoughts came true as the bus halts out of the blue causing his elbow to come rushing down on me

I flinched and braced myself for the impact

1 second

2 second

'huh?' I open my eyes to see an arm?

Looking to the side it seemed a guy had used his arm to shield my face from the elbow, which resulted in it being smushed against my cheek

"Are you ok?" a voice mutters

My eyes traced the arm which lead to a shoulder, then a neck and than I saw a guy with brown hair, his face was expressionless save for a little concern twinkle in his eyes

"Um yeah I'm good" I nodded

'wow although he doesn't look it he's forearm are actually quite toned' I thought feeling it pressed up against my face

Noticing something in my expression he mumbles "I apologise if you feel uncomfortable but if I move my arm the crowd would crush you"

I looked around and he was right, right now there was some space between myself and the crowd which didn't exist before, 'definitely more comfortable!'

"My name is honami Ichinosei, pleasure to meet you" I greeted my new friend

"Um, Kiyotaka ayanokouji" he replied in a monotonous voice

"I'm in class B, what about you?"

"B"

"Oh my gosh! What are the chances!, We're classmates!!!"

"yeah" he replies once more in an non-energetic manner, causing my heart to drop

"Ano- am I annoying you?" I lower my eyes, afraid of the obvious question,... the first person I meet and I already annoyed them

"No, not really, I apologise if I come of that way but I'm not really good at showing emotions" he reassures me

'Oh' the bitter thoughts were banished immediately and I looked up at him

"Hey just wondering" I asked a question that popped in my mind "do you do any sports?"

"Some martial arts, piano, calligraphy I guess" he says as if it were no big deal, now normally I wasn't so foolish that I would immediately believe whatever he said but wow! His forearms really were muscular

"What about you?" He mirrors my question

"Ummmm, never really had the time for sports and stuff" I replied, 'I always had to work after school to support mom, never really had the time for after school activities'

"I apologise if I struck any bad memories" he suddenly says, catching me off guard

"Wait was I showing it on my face" I blushed, covering my face

"No but your eyes hold so much sadness"

"what?" My head snaps up, afterall only mother could see it, I looked in his eyes and my knee almost gave way

"s-s-so da-dark" I cried out softly

'since birth I had the ability to see someone's soul through their eyes, I seen souls in all shape and sizes but never one this black, it wasn't evil or disgusting, no just pure nothingness'

Immediately I noticed my knees had weakened and I should have fallen to the floor given gravity was present but I was still upright?

My gaze slowly reached down and I saw ayanokouji other arm grabbing my waist

"Be careful" his face got closer till it was only a few centimeters away as he got a better grip of my waist,

I heard a few people commenting "teenagers this day", causing my heart to beat over and over again

"Tell me if you get too uncomfortable" he mutters right into my ear, the bus was at even fuller capacity so it was obvious he couldn't move without getting hurt

"Mm" was all I could muster up without blushing even heavier, a man whom I had just met was just millimeters away, I could feel his hot breath go down my nape and his broad shoulder hugging my own

Another student shifted his weight forcing my hand to go around his waist to avoid being crushed

'Yawn~' my future ghostly self awakens and detaches her self from me, she rubs her eyes and blinks for a few seconds before screaming

"A-AYANOKOUJI-KUN!" Her voice filled the entire bus, luckily only I could hear her

'you know him?' I question her as her mouth was agape in shock

"HE'S THE BOY WE LIKE!" she exclaims

'Wait what!?'
