I laid on my light magenta bed regretting my life. My life was so boring without Keighlee since she added life to my life (Yes, I do know that sounded weird but don't judge). Hm... maybe I should try doing a Shu and sleep with music. I pondered in the thought as I slowly sat up. I glanced out the window where a storm was slowly getting worse. I stood up and plopped in the desk chair.I spun around until something caught my eye. It was a necklace I had made.

I sat at my desk bored as a meatball. I glanced at my jar of mussel shells and then at my jewelry making kit. Hmm..... I thought hard as I continued spinning. I wonder what Keighlees doing. She must be sleeping 'cuz I haven't heard from her, I thought. Fifth grade me had an idea. I grabbed six mussel shells, super glue, and a chain. A few hours later I stared at my two matching necklaces. Keighlee will love it. But, there's something missing. Hm.......... I've got it!! I grabbed my three tons of nail polish and started painting the shells purple, black, and red. I'll send it to her tomorrow after school.

I wiped my face with the back of my hands because apparently, I was crying. I grabbed my brush and threw it at the wall. I then ripped my headphones out of my backpack along with my iPod. Throwing myself on the bed I plugged everything in, put my headphones on, pressed play and started bawling. Rolling over, my head hit something somewhat hard. I glanced up only to see Yuma sitting on my bed. "Hey, I heard you throw something and I thought I'd check on you..." he said with a carelessly worried look on his face. "I'm fine, go away," I replied sniffling. "No, you're not...... Come here." I looked back up at him hesitant to move. He waved his hand toward him. I shifted to be against his body burying my head I his chest. My body shook with tears streaming down my face soaking his shirt. He took my headphones off and tossed them on the nightstand where the just fell on the floor. "Damn it." I laughed weakly and replied, "Ya know, for someone who I was told was uptight, you sure are a softy." "Shut up in just trying to make the livestock feel better so it doesn't get all weird on me." "Softy," I mumbled sleepily. I felt Yuma move and leave the room, my head falling on the pillow. I dangled my arm off the side of the pillow looking for my earbuds. When I found them I simply shoved them in my ears and played a Beethoven song. As I drifted off to sleep I couldn't help but think of the necklace. I doubt she still has it. Three and a half hours of wasted time. Oh well. I guess I yawned, stupidity gets the best of all of us. I wonder why we met up after all this time. I started dozing off with a peculiar dream.

"Hey, Sidney?" "Yeah K-chan?" "Um, I, uh, I have to tell you something super important. I, uh, I'm m-moving a-and I, um, how do I say this?" I embraced her in a hug. "Don't worry K-chan. It doesn't matter where you are. I'll always be here, a-and you never know. Maybe the universe will reunite us again. We'll have to see."

I sat up slightly startled. I hated remembering that day, it always made me sad. I checked the time on my iPod and noticed it was getting low on battery. I got up and threw it on the charger. Then I went back to bed.

"Keighlee! Keighlee no!" screaming, she was writhing in agony. Her body twisted, and bloody with scorch marks all down her arms and back. Tears streamed down our faces as she looked into my eyes. She was doubling over in pain on the ground, crying, screaming, and begging for it to stop. I tried to run to her but I was being held back. All I could do was watch as my best friend as she burned to death. My knees felt weak causing me to call to the ground. I screamed, "Let her go! Let her go! Please. Do whatever you want with me just leave her alone! I'm begging you!" I cried and cried and once the fire burned down I noticed there was nothing holding me back so I ran to where Keighlee was, but there was nothing. Nothing left. I searched the ashes for something. Anything. My hand came across a chain. I pulled it up out of the ashes. It was a simple locket. The rectangular shape was completely covered in black. The inside contained two slightly scorched pictures of a man whose face was burned, and a woman with magenta eyes, white hair, and a very pale complexion. It looks like Subaru, I thought. I shoved the pocket in my pocket along with some ashes I put in an empty sandwich bag I found in another pocket. I ran in no particular direction hoping to find some civilization. After an hour it was hopeless. I walked a few more feet then I tripped and fell on my face, blacking out. I felt someone shaking my body. I woke out of my blacked out state, but I still felt shaking.

I was being shaken so hard I was practically being rolled across the bed. I shot straight up, elbowed the thing that was shaking me, and laid back down. "C'mon. Wake up. We have to go to school." It shook me harder. I let out a sharp cry when my head hit the headboard. "What do you mother flip-flopping want? Can't you see I'm trying to die, I mean, sleep here?" I meekly replied. "We have to go to school, you need to stop screaming, and you need to get dressed," the angered Ruki snapped. "I-I was screaming?" "All... night... long," Kou whined. My mind flashed back to the nightmare I just had. I gasped and apologized. "Guys I'm really sorry, I didn't know. A-and I was having a really bad dream. I'm truly sorry," I said, my eyes shut tight.
