Okuda Manami

Thursday afternoon. Another long day from school. I walked to my apartment and lay on my bed.

Exhausting activities and school work. That's how it is... in highschool.

I'm currently a 3rd year highschool student. I study at Himesakura Highschool. Good thing I still have my best friends Kayano,Kanzaki and Rio around me. I really enjoy their company since other students avoid us because of our past in middle school.... It's been three years.

Korosensei...

I miss him. Well, everyone in the E class does. Who doesn't?

Remembering Korosensei made me feel happy and sad at the same time. Mixed emotions? If that's what you call it. Thinking about him made me more exhausted and slowly drifted away to sleep.

I was walking down a dark alley   when I heard a gunshot. I ran to he direction of the sound not knowing why. Instinct maybe? I turned to the dark corner and saw glimpse of red...

It was blood.

Flowing out of someone's body.

I looked at the victim and saw a boy, down on the ground. And his mercury gold eyes were looking at me.. as if he was saying

"Stay away"

I then heared another gunshot.

-----

I woke up, sweating heavily, wondering what that dream was all about. I couldn't clearly see his face, but I saw his eyes. I wonder why it looked so familiar...

too familiar.

*knock knock*

"Nami-chii, please wake up already, you're going to be late for school."  My brother called me.

Huh....late? What time is it?

8:47 am !!!??

I'm gonna be late!!!!

I dressed up and ran down the stairs, which was a bad idea. I slipped and fell down face first.

Oww..

"Nami-chii! Are you alright?!"

"Y-yes... I'm fine Makoto-nii.."

"What the hell are you talking about? There's no way you're ok! That's the fourth time you fell down on the stairs this week Nami-chii." He scolded  exasperatedly, while helping me up.

"This always happens so, I'm kinda used to it. Ehehe..."

My brother just let out a sigh and smiled.

"Be careful next time kay?"

I just nodded and rushed out of the house.

Makoto-nii is always very protective. He doesn't want seeing me get hurt or cry. He'll never forgive anyone who makes me cry.

What did I do to deserve someone like him?

I finally got into the train. Man, it's really crowded. Well, it's rush hour. I shouldn't be surprised. I sighed and looked to the left. My eyes widend when I saw a glimpse of fiery red hair. It reminded me of a certain redhead I know very well from middle school.

I tried to get closer but it suddenly disappeared. Maybe the redhaead got out on the current station. I let out a sigh and got out on the next station. I then walked to school.

"Hey Manami-chan! You're late! first period is already over you know?" I heared a certain petite and cheerful girl say.

"Oh, hello Kayano-chan. Sorry, I overslept."

"Hello Manami-san..."  Kanzaki-san greeted me from her seat.

"Ne, ne Nami-chan have you noticed something different with me today?" A gorgeous blonde asked, twirling and posing dramatically.

"Um... Rio-chan, are you perhaps wearing makeup?" She looks beautiful as always.

"Ugh.... Nami-chan, why are you so blind?What are those specs for?" She rolled her eyes.

"Ahahaha, sorry Rio-chan.. Your braided hair looks nice today."

"Haha! I know right? Thanks Nami-chan."

"You're welcome."

*Timeskip, brought to you by Oikawa's serve*

The four of us split on our way home. I was walking down the road when I saw a glimpse of red again. Determined not to let it get away this time, I ran toward it.

And...I lost sight of it again.

I sighed and walked away, not noticing the traffic light that has turned red already. Then I saw a car heading towards me.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I fell. My glasses fell off and probably got smashed by the car.

I opened my eyes and felt something warm underneath.

It was beating.

"You idiot, you could've died you know?"

I heared someone say. I just realized that I was on top of someone. I got up and blushed. "I'm s-sorry. Please forgive me and thankyou for saving me." I bowed repeatedly. Then I looked straight ahead. The blurry figure then also sat up.

Because I lost my glasses, the figure was blurry but I knew it was a man. But more importantly, his voice is so familiar and his hair was...

Red
