I wake up to the sound of birds chirping. Who knew birds sang so loudly.
I open my eyes slowly as I get blinded by the sun and start seeing black and my eyes start hurting. I sit up and rub my eyes and try to adjust them so I'd stop seeing the after effects of getting blinded by sunlight.
I look around when I finally start seeing clearly and notice that everyone is still asleep. I sigh as I lazily get off my bed and take out my luggage bag from underneath my bed. I take out some new clothes and change them with my pyjama's, and yes, I changed in front of them, either way, they're all asleep so they didn't see me without clothing, plus, we're best-friends, it's fine. Oh, well except for Asuka and Mei, but we all know they're gay for each other, so it doesn't really matter.
Once I finish changing, I packed up my luggage since it was going to be our last day here. I didn't care if I made too much noise since these girlies wouldn't even wake up if there was an earthquake and the cabin's roof and walls were falling on them. I swear, sometimes I worry if they're dead or alive.
I finish packing and sigh in relief. I wondered how I was that productive and shrugged it off as I went outside the cabin to breath in some fresh, outside of cabin, air.
I walked down to the lake and wondered if I would manage to swim across the whole lake without drowning. Then I wondered if it was normal to think like this and then I convinced myself it was. I stared out at the lake in thought until I took out my phone to check the time and realized I was going to be late for breakfast since it started at 9:00 and it was currently 8:58.
I walked towards the biggest cabin which held the lounge room and the dinning room and entered it one minute pass 9. It was okay since Miss Furina was the one who greeted me and well, she doesn't really care if anyone is late by literally just one minute, if it was Monsieur Neuvillette that greeted me, he might have given me a short scolding, but then brush it off his shoulder. So it was okay either way, but having Miss Furina is the preferable way.
I took some food and sat down next to my friend group.
"Look who's late." Childe looked up at me first and crossed his arms giving me a disappointed look.
I rolled my eyes at him and sat down next to Aether since it was the only spot available. I would have sat next to Scara, but he wasn't even here.
"What happened to Scara?" I ask Aether and he gives me a kind smile, looking a bit tired as well.
"Oh, I don't really know, would you like me to go search for him?" Aether asked almost immediately, looking ready to get up and leave even though he hadn't even finished eating yet.
Xiao stared at me with a cold look. He was sitting on the other side of Aether.
"Oh no, it's alright, you just finish eating." I tell the boy as I put my hand on his shoulder as to stop him from standing up if he decided to. He looked less tense and relaxed his shoulders as he smiled slightly at my words and looked back at his food as he took a bite, seeming to be in a better mood then before I spoke to him.
Xiao's stare softened slightly and he looked at Aether, then at his food as he remained his usual quiet self. I could tell that Xiao was worrying about Aether, but I didn't know why exactly, but I was just glad that Xiao had emotions and cared more openly about someone. It was as if his guard was slightly lowered in the blond haired boy's presence. It was a nice thing to notice from him.
Everyone at our table talked and ate their breakfast, laughing and enjoying themselves. It made me really happy, though I was a bit sad that Scara wasn't here to share this moment.
Once we were all stuffed with food, we cleaned our table and brought our plates and utensils to the people who worked there. We then head outside as a big group.
"Anyone want to come with me into the forest to birdwatch? I asked Monsieur Neuvillette if we could and he gave me the equipment we need." Kazuha suggest with his usual calm and gentle demeanor. Heizou, Xiao and Aether accepted and they all fled alongside him.
"Anyone wanna play soccer!?" Childe chimed with excitement as everyone else in the group cheered and they all went to go play soccer with some other kids from our class that were already playing. Which basically left me all alone.
I stood at my spot in silence as a breeze blew through my hair while I stared into nothingness.
I felt off for some reason. I felt happy when I was surrounded by all my friends, but once they all left me alone, that feeling of joy suddenly vanished and turned into emptiness.
Maybe I should have joined one of the two groups in their activities, but I just didn't feel it. Why do I feel this? No. Why don't I feel anything?
A hand then placed itself upon my shoulder and I slowly turned towards the person behind me. Like a beam of sunlight, a strong sense of comfort and warmth overwhelmed me as I immediately hugged them.
I could already tell who it was by his presence, it could only be the one that made my heart burn with passion and love for him, the only one to make me feel loved and special. My beloved Scara.
He wrapped his arms around me and put a hand on the back of my head as he stroked my hair with such a gentle motion. He was usually so aggressive with anyone else, but it seemed like I was the only one able to receive something others couldn't from him. That's what made me feel so special, because I was the only one that managed to break that wall he built around his heart. I felt like I could trust him with my life, all because he trusted me with his fragile and pure heart.
"Want to go throw some rocks into the lake?" He spoke in a soft tone as he gently pushed me away from him so I could look at him.
I smiled and nod my head as he stared at me for a few seconds before turning his head away from me. I could tell that he was trying to hide his smile away from me, but I simply just found that cute.
He took my hand and we walked alongside each other over to the beach. Plenty of rocks were laying on the ground which was just perfect.
He let go of my hand and bent down to grab a rock he spotted. He picked it up and walked closer towards the water, looking out into the distance as he got ready to throw the rock. He breathed in and then threw the rock with all his strength making an exhaling sound as he threw it. The rock was the size of the palm of his hand, so it got thrown pretty far away.
I took his little challenge and grabbed my own rock and threw it at my turn, sadly, it didn't get any further then his and he laughed at me. I pout and he just continued to laugh. I couldn't help but savor this moment, the sound of his laughter and his smile warmed me and gave me butterflies. I loved this indigo haired boy way too much and I loved every second of it.
