The Days You Were There and My Future

Letter 11: Let's Join The Atlethic Relay

The Parallel World Timeline of the Year 2012

Agnes:
Everything I’ve done up to now…. Even if it’s little by little…. Has led to a bright future I hope.

While our first homeroom is waiting, Ethan is listening to music in his phone while Harry wants to listen to.

“What are you listening to?” Harry asked.
“You might not know it dude.”
“Come on! I’ll try!”
What should I do? I can’t look to Ethan’s face right now after that horrible happened to us before.
“Let me listen to it for a sec.” Harry said to Ethan.
“Why?”
“Why not? Come on! Give it to me!” shouted Harry and Ethan suddenly stare at me.
“Hey Agnes, wanna listen?” Ethan asked to me.
“Yeah sure….” I said and he put the earphones to my ears closely.
“Our eyes meet at last. Oh, on the 22nd, I cancelled plans to meet my old friends. I made my plans with Anton instead. It’s more fun hanging out with him. ”
“I see.”
“Cut that out! Let me listen!” shouted Harry to him.
“Ethan loves being mean to Harry.” Elize said.
“Yeah, it’s fun. Sorry!”
“It’s fun? Then that makes it all right…. Not!” shouted Harry.

I love you. I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to say that if the letter hadn’t come. I’ve been able to change. It’s all thanks to that letter. Even though I couldn’t even voice my opinions before, now I can express my feelings.

While Elize, Mandy, and I watching their soccer practice, Mandy and Elize suddenly staring at me.
“Is there something you’re hiding from us?” they both said to me.
“Huh? Do you mean what happened yesterday? It’s not like I was hiding it but I told Ethan how I feel about him.”
“That’s fantastic Agnes! I’m proud of you!!” shouted Elize.
“Nothing to be proud about! I was nervous and my voice is shaky….”
“Congratulations! Your first boyfriend!” shouted Mandy.
Boyfriend? We didn’t say that we’re dating.
“So anything else? Is there something you’re hiding from us?” Mandy asked.
“ETHAN!!!” shouted Anton and we saw that Ethan fainted.
“Hey are you okay!!!!” shouted Elize.
“We should go to the infirmary!!” shouted Anton and we take him to infirmary.
After a while, Ethan woke up.
“You scared me!!!” shouted Elize to him.
“Sorry guys.”
“It’s fine. Are you okay?” Harry asked.
“Yeah. I just got a bit dizzy.”
“Because you’re a weakling!” Anton shouted.
“I am not!”
“Are you eating right?”
“Yeah, not as much as you.”
“But seriously, you need to take care of yourself. You don’t want to worry your girlfriend, do you?” Elize said.
“My girlfriend?”
“It’s Agnes you silly!”
“She’s not my girlfriend. We didn’t say that we will date did we?”
“Huh? What are you talking about? If two people are in love it’s only makes sense to date!”
“Eh? Agnes, are you in love with Ethan?” Harry asked.
“You know that’s not what she’s saying so shut up.” Mandy said.
“It doesn’t feel right to me. If Agnes and I were dating, I’d probably hurt her somehow. So if we can be happy and have a good time without dating, I’d just as soon go with that.”
“Then you’re thinking about her feelings just like you did before with Eunice.” Elize said.
“Well, I really do love you Agnes.”
“Yeah.”
“Mr. Ethan, your grandmother is here to pick you up.” Said the nurse.
“Sure.”

If Ethan and I start dating, the future may change significantly.
It may even throw what’s written in the letter off course so much,
I won’t be able to save him.
That’s what I’m afraid of.

After school hours, Anton and I having small talk while we’re walking home.

“Sorry Agnes.”
“For what?
“For not being able to tell Ethan to go out with you.”
“Oh that? No, I’m fine.”
“It said in my letter that to give you a supportive push so things turn out well for you. But I couldn’t do it. I wonder if the instructions in the letter from my future are correct.”
“What do you mean?”
“Did your letter say anything about he collapsed today?
“No.”
“Then that’s a new future was born only our world. I think it started when he joined the club. He’s still new in the club so he hasn’t been able to play in matches yet. But wants to be chosen to play so every day, he works hard as anyone else.  He’s probably tired of himself and he doesn’t look well either. If the club is a burden for him and it makes me wonder if I’m right to invite him to the club. ”
“Of course you were. He loves being part of the club. Just because he fainted doesn’t mean it’s the club’s fault.”
“Yeah but even if the future can be changed, we don’t know what’s gonna happen next and that’s making me nervous.”
