Chapter 5: Insomnia

-how's the club thing going??

-fine enough i guess

-still looking for members? º^º

-yup, we doin a small show!!

The screen of my laptop shined, its light slightly illuminating my room. I waited for my sister's message while browsing youtube looking for a song to play.

-are you sure that the new girl will be able to play??? .-.

-yup, im gonna teach her myself ^^

-theeeeeen, everything should be fine, anyways, tomorrow i have to wake up really early ;-; bye!

-good night, bye!

I closed my laptop and began looking at the ceiling of my room... Well, I guess you are wondering who I was talking to... That was Ichika Doujima, my older sister. She moved away about 7 years ago, because of her studies, and now more recently her getting a job she can't come to visit often so we keep up with each other through social media. Well, now that she's gone for today I might as well go to sleep too.

...

3 AM... I CAN'T SLEEP... Dammit, I managed to get a bit of sleep but I woke up about 20 minutes ago... Hm...

I got up from my bed and walked towards the window of my room in front of my desk. I could see some houses, a few had some windows lit up, maybe people in the same situation as me? Or just people that like to stay up late...

I continued to watch the silent streets of my neighborhood... Should I?

I grabbed a jacket, put on some gloves and opened the door of my room. I stepped outside, I've never moved so slowly in all my life. Each step made me more and more paranoid, but as I noticed that I was already at the entrance of my home, a sentiment of relief filled me.

I put on my shoes and stepped out of the house.

The streets were as quiet as they looked. To be honest I have no idea why I did this, I'm not really a compulsive person... I, uh think... But even if I was one, this would really cross the line, even so, I have to admit, this is really nice...

...

I checked my phone, 3:43, huh I've been walking for a long time, I decided to take a good look around me. This is... The music store... Hm? I looked up at the second floor of the store, the lights seemed to be on and the windows open. Akiyama-san was awake?

A loud laugh came from the room above, so loud in fact I squeaked from the surprise. I stayed a few seconds in shock from the sudden loudness, and decided to walk away until.

"Y-Yumi!?"

My whole body froze as I heard my name being called out. I slowly looked back and saw no one but then looked up to find Akiyama-san with a worried but also a bit annoyed face.

"Uh..." Was the only sound I managed to produce.

"What the hell are you doing here at this hour!?"

"I uh... Well... I thought that... Um..."

Suddenly a second person appeared besides Akiyama-san, another woman, her light brown hair shined a bit with the light from the room making it seem almost blonde.

"Uh... Who's that girl, Mio?" She asked somehow not confused or probably indifferent to the situation.

"I'll tell you on the way. Yumi, wait there!" Akiyama-san disappeared from the window

"On the way?" The other woman said as she also backed out of the window.

I remained still for a couple of seconds until the door for the shop opened and Akiyama and her friend appeared.
