The summer has already ended as its autumn season now and the rain has come a lot lately. Like always, my body couldn’t stand the cold, so I wore my blue sweater to endure the cold. After my school time and reached my home, I ran as fast as I could because I can’t wait to celebrate it today. By ‘it’ I meant my birthday because it is 2nd September which means I am a happy --years old Virgo today. Before I could enter my house’s gate, I noticed there’s not a single car around my house. If there’s no car around my house, that means there’s nobody around the house. I become shocked and quickly grabbed my house key and open the door leading inside my house.
When I stepped inside, I felt cold. The house looked empty as if there’s nobody living in this place for months. Sadness came over me as I open my phone and saw a new message from my mom. Inside, she wrote an apology sentences and tells me that she may not able to make it on time for my birthday because she has to work overtime as there’s many peoples came to the café. While that, I have an older brother but he is in his collage and my sister had a boarding school. My dad can’t come home because of his works. Now about friends, I don’t really have any close friends. Even if I do, I don’t want to disturb my friend’s precious time.
In any ways, this conclude that I have to celebrate the birthday alone again this year. That sounded very pitiful and I couldn’t help but to laugh at it. I remembered that a few minutes ago, I was very excited but it’s just a stupid thing to do now.
I sat down on a nearby couch and stared at the wall as I drifted myself into dreamland. Usually, whenever I felt lonely I would always cry over it but I just don’t feel like it today. So, I just hugged my school bag and lay on the couch before began to daydream of that place. I would daydream until I fall asleep into a deep slumber.
I don’t know how many minutes or hours passed after I went into dreamland till I revealed my eyes slowly and hazily. Then, I saw something in my sight. There’s a guy who somewhat looked older than me maybe by two or three years. That guy is currently looking at me but I only blinked as a reply although we are obviously making an eye contact right now. Blame it to my low blood pressure that for sure. Before today, I saw this guy a few months ago for two times.
The first time was in my room when I suddenly woke up and saw him sleeping on the floor, laying his body against my bed but I fall asleep again after saw him and I couldn’t even see his face at that time. I thought it would be nice if I able to meet him again because he looked cool and I kind of attracted to him. The second time was when I suddenly woke up too. I always blur when just woke up from my sleep. We have made our first eye contact in my second meeting with him but I felt somehow embarrassed and looked away. Then, I fall to sleep again. I thought everything is just a dream but I got to see him again today. Does that mean he really exists? That makes me feels happy to know he really do exist here.
Then, I felt something touched my cheek and it carelessly moves to my temple. The hand that touched me is somewhat cold yet, it’s held me as if I am something precious and… fragile. If able, I want to absorb the coldness by giving it some of my warmness but the hand suddenly moved away. Not only that, the owner of the cold hand also began to leave the room slowly till only I remain alone in this empty room. While he takes his leave, I just watched the guy’s action when he walks out from the room. Then, I began to move myself by raising my body before jumped down from the couch and followed him.
I tried my best to keep up with him but he walks fasters and faster in each time I increased my pace. I just couldn’t catch up to him. He then stopped walking before gazing a huge gate in front of him. I blinked at his action and thanks to that, I able to try catching my breath before following his action. I never know that I would end up staring at the same thing as him. In our sight, it’s a gate leading to school buildings. I never had been inside this school before because this school is still new, build a few years ago. I didn’t go to his school because the course is different although it’s a lot more close to my house than my real school. It’s just not my destiny to go to this high school.
