April 21st, Thursday

Looking around, I'm in my desk in homeroom, but no one else is here. I turned to look out the window to see the Sakura trees softly whirling in wind, its petals leaving.

Suddenly, a huge shadowy figure falls down the window.

What was that?

I pull myself out of my desk and walk out of the classroom. The hall is unusually empty for this gossip-loving school. Did I get here on a rest day?

I kept walking till I made it to the school courtyard, where a crowd of students are gathered around something. Everyone is speaking, all amongst themselves—tightly packed like a barrier.

Is something going on?

I walk closer, trying to figure out what's going on, but they are all talking over each other that I can't make out what they are saying. What are they surrounding?

Pushing through the crowd; trying to get a look at what is going on. Some are whispering to each other, while others are yelling for help.

What's going on?

Finally pushed myself in front of the crowd, I see her, there on the ground, The little color from her skin draining, dyeing the spring-green grass, a deep red. Her body was horribly contorted. She turns her face to me, tears falling from her eyes, "Why did you do this to me?"

Everyone turns their head to me, making an opening to her.

A hand from behind pushes me forward, I close my hands readying myself for the impact my hands land onto the ground with a splat. Opening my eyes, I'm met with her bloodshot chocolate brown eyes. The students waste no time surrounding me and her, all pushing and talking.

"Hey-!

Stop!

N-no.."

"Why did you do this to me?" tears flowing down her eyes slowly lose their light, with not another breath leaving her mouth.

I snap open my eyes and find myself tightly wrapped by my blanket. I struggle to twist myself out of the blanket, unable to catch my breath. Until finally I fall out of bed, finally free from my sheets.

Damn. What a terrible dream.

My phone is buzzing away on my bed. Huffing, I quickly turn off the alarm, and toss my phone back on the bed.

"Breath in, Breath out"

Repeating in my banging head.

My chest slowly unclenches as my hands run through my hair, I finally begin to calm down. As I came to, I realize there are tears in my eyes.

Dang it. Wiping my face, I realize the gauze wrap on my arm is undone and slowly falling off my arm. I might as well take it off. Taking a seat on my bed, slowly unraveling what's left of the gauze to reveal my a patch of fresh skin with the edges slightly purple. Welp looks like it's mostly healed. At the very least I can still move my arm for the most part.

I should start getting ready for school. Looking over, Akira is still in bed, softly snoring away. I'm surprised he can get some good sleep after almost dying last night. Well, maybe it's that main character mental fortitude.

Sighing, I grab my uniform and head downstairs to the bathroom

Sliding the door to my homeroom class open, I look around the class to see a couple of people there already, one of them being Ann. She's just staring out the window.

Taking my seat, my head falls onto my desk.

Ann is pissed off at me, I've effectively been kicked out of the phantom thieves, and they are dying every time I leave them out of my sight. Can I have messed up the story any worse!?

I messed around too much in the palace, making it so much more difficult than it was in the original, Shiho still jumped, and most of all Ann hates me! I just want to go home, Why did I think I could help?

Whipping away a small tear, I need to go home. I can't stay here. I shouldn't try to change the story any further.

The final bell of the day rings and all the students shuffle out of the room in a flurry. Quickly all the voices and some laughs and giggles disappear, ticks from the clock being the only sound in the empty classroom. After a few more moments I finally lift my head off of my desk, orange sheen illuminating the classroom. It looks just like my dream.

I should head out already, sitting here wasting time is terrible.

I grab my bag and head out into the hallway.

The halls are almost silent, with what little students left grabbing their things and walking with their classmates. I head towards the school exit, but catch a glimpse of the school courtyard.

"..."

I turn around and head towards the courtyard, my steps echoing through the now empty halls.

I push open the doors and make it to the spot. A single bouquet left here for her

Shiho's voice still echoing through my head as she was struggling to breath.

"Well if it isn't Y/N!" That nasty booming voice snapping out of my thoughts.

I turn to see Kamoshida quickly stride over to me, with his dumb side grin across his face.

"Classes are over for the day, what are you still doing here?" His eyes flash past me and he hums. I turn back looking at the floor.

Why's he here?

"Oh I see. It is such a shame what happened to that poor girl." He lets out a sigh.

"She was such a great team player on the volleyball team. I was even going to have her being the team leader, but things didn't work out." Tears swell behind my eyes, clenching my fists as tight as I can. I won't let myself cry.

"Y'know..." Kamoshida begins.

"With the empty space, I could really use a new player" Kamoshida slides his arm across my shoulders.

"I've seen you during P.E... You sure have the physic to be a star player, with some personal training you'll definitely be a upstart story. First session will be on your attitude towards me. " His hot breath creeps down my neck.

My heart feels like it's trying to burst out of my chest as I keep my head down, not having the strength to control the rage on my face.

"No thank you." I simply say and walk past Kamoshida.

Walking out the school gates, I headed towards the train station. I need to get more healing items. After saving the phantoms, I'm pretty much out. I need to be prepared to take down this damn pervert. To Shibuya I got then.
