Surprise Two: As Red As Spruce

 A/N: Second chapter of my anniversary fic is out.
Now, whose hair is as red as spruce? Wait, are spruces even red? 

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

I woke up in a jolt and glanced around me. Given the multiple computers, it didn't take much for me to realize that I was in the computer class of my school. Most likely, I had fallen asleep during the free period while chatting with my online friends.

The next thing, I turned to look at the clock, wondering what the time was. The moment I realized it was almost 4PM, my jaw dropped.

DAMN! I was going to be late for the bus.

I typed as fast as I could and said bye to everyone online. Since I was in a hurry, I had to switch off the computer before I could see their replies. In a matter of seconds, I turned off the computer and rushed out of the classroom. I – quite literally – threw my clothes on me and ran as fast as could, hoping to catch the bus that was already waiting in front of the school.

I entered the bus and sat down. Only then could I sigh of relief. This time I had managed to be on time and hadn't missed the bus, unlike in the morning. Because of that, I had to wait for the next one... for two hours... IN A BLIZZARD!

I leaned against the window and stared outside as we drove from the city I was studying in, towards the small town where I lived. As the scenery passed by, I tried to remember what kind of dream had I seen. I was certain that something had happened, but I couldn't get any clear images.

As I kept thinking hard, I suddenly started to feel sleepy. Unable to resist, I slowly closed my eyes. But before doing so, I saw a blurry image of a snow white-haired girl on a bike. I wondered why she looked so familiar. Where had I seen her before...?

All of a sudden... My mind blanked out...

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

"Oi, Saku-sa... are you... kay?" A blurry voice asked as I was trying to open my eyes. I closed them again, trying to enjoy my dream for a little longer, but my plans were cut short. Suddenly, I felt something FREEZY on my face.

"GAAH!" I screamed out loud – A very manly scream indeed, hah! – as the cold thing got on my face, in my shirt and everywhere else, and jumped up like an electrical beast. I felt moisture all over my face and shirt, they obviously had thrown something at me. Without second thought, I licked my wet fingers (I mean, as if someone would throw anything dangerous on me, right).

The taste was... salty water.

"Ushishishishi~" I heard Kogure's laughing voice and face immediately darkened. A dark, eerie aura started slowly surround me.

"Kogure, YOU LITTLE!" I shouted enraged and chased after the little prankster. That little punk, pranking on me the first thing as I woke up. He would really pay for this. I would not let him get away so easily!

As I kept chasing after Kogure, suddenly someone walked into the room. I stopped immediately at the presence of another person, and Kogure used this chance to escape from the room. An unwanted silence fell into the room.

"You're finally awake." One of the two finally spoke, smiling at me. She was a girl with snow-white hair and surprisingly her eyes were of the same hue. The other one was a boy with brown hair and black eyes. He was standing behind the girl.

I gulped loudly. Why is it that I only kept meeting people I did not know? "Wh- Who are you?" I finally managed to ask. The duo before me sighed loudly while facepalming. The boy glanced at me while sweat dropping and the girl squeezed her fist while trying to suppress her anger.
