Chapter 31: Another Day

It was monochrome. The world around the girl was monochrome. The sky was not the blue sky nor the night sky nor the evening sky. It was lifeless.

Standing on top of a weird machine, the girl kept on gazing at the nothingness in front of her.... yet even so..

None of that really mattered. What matters now would be the fact that she had such awful eyes.....

Eyes that shows just how tired she was.. just how devastated she was... it was like she was constantly in a nightmare that would never end...

Slowly, an eerie smile made its way on the girl's face and it immediately, everything turned black.

*beep**beep**beep*

Hnngh.

Just when I finally had some good sleep, this abomination comes and ruins it.

"Stupid... alarm clock!"

I literally smashed the alarm clock that day. Of course, that was how my everyday morning went...

"School, huh? I wonder if Kyou will come. Yesterday ended quite abruptly."

I didn't quite understand it but yesterday, Mei suddenly said that there was to be no club meeting that day and told all of us to go home. Thinking about it, I just lost another day to spend with Kyou at that time...

I wanted to bring Kyou over to the roof to have lunch but Sora just had to drag the two of us saying that we should at least spend the day at the clubroom during school hours. But seriously though. Not having a club meeting doesn't mean we can't go there after school hours, right? But then again, everyone including just went back...

So I recalled but..

"Ah! This is so frustrating!"

Walking downstairs, I looked around to this quiet house. Of course, I usually woke up an hour early than them...

Mom..dad...Aki..Natsumi... surely all of them are still asleep.

"I should start cooking breakfast."

Turning on the stove as I poured oil on the frying pan, I looked at the dining table that had five chairs readied as always. Lately, I had been trying to improve my relationship with my family...

"My Haru is no robot, she is a beautiful angel with a cute face.."

.....hnnng....

No! It's not because Kyou gave me hope! No! It's not because his words made me feel so happy! No! Knowing that someone doesn't think of me a robot DOES NOT gave me hope that I would be able to get close with my parents! Not at all!

Plus why would his words affect me anyway? He is an idiot after all!

"You're my idiot."

Aaaaaah! Why?! Why are you betraying me now?! Calm down Haru! CALM DOWN!

Great! So early in the morning and I am already in such a mess. My breathing is uneven and my head is in such a mess. But the worse of all would be the fact that blood was rushing my cheeks and I could myself burning hot....

Wait. Wait, wait, wait! These symptoms... uneven breathing, an unclear head, cheeks blushing, increase in temperature....

No way....

No way! No absolutle way!

Am I?

"Am I sick?!"

Checking my temperature quickly while I was waiting for the egg to finish cooking, I looked at it and I was rather surprised.

"38?! ....hm.. maybe I am sick? Maybe just a bit?"
