The house

I leave my house and walk to the school. I sigh, here comes another day of hell. I live a block away from the school so the walk is not very long. Once I get to campus I feel some sort of deja vu. I turn around and there it is, the house I saw in my strange dream. The words "Find him" echo in my head as I stare. I get hit with a vibe of pure uncomfort and sadness. I quickly turn around and walk to my homeroom, not bothering to speak with anyone, not even Negenama. 

I spend the entirety of  the day avoiding everyone. If someone tried to talk to me I would walk away as quickly as I could and pretend I wasn't aware of their presence. Eventually lunch begins. Without thinking I walk to the other part of the school and sit in front of the club room. Why did I do it? I have no idea, it just felt right. 

Negenama and a few others approach me. Oh no, how did she find me?

"Hakuoh what the hell is wrong with you today? You haven't said a word to me!"

I look at her, knowing there is no way to get out of this. 

"I honestly don't know, I'm sorry."

She looks at me with concern when she realizes where we are.

"What brought you here?"

"Thoughts"

"Thoughts?"

I nod, really not knowing why I was here.

"Well uh.. These are my friends." she says while moving out of the way.

"I'm Chloe!" A girl with long, blonde hair announces. 

The only male then also speaks, introducing himself as he smiled "I'm Cole".

"And.. I guess you already know who I am, Aki." says the other girl with short brown hair.

"H-Hello.." I stutter nervously, meeting new people wasn't really my thing.

An awkward silence lasts between the five of us for about three minutes until I see Negenama smirks and looks at us.

"Hey Hakuoh, let's go into the classroom."

"W-Wha- Why?" I ask.

"Maybe there's some stuff in there from the original members" Cole says.

"It would be nice to investigate!" Adds Chloe.

It's hopeless, we're going to enter this classroom and we all know it. I sigh and stand before nodding, signaling that we were going in. Negenama smiles and walks over to the door.

As the door opens we all see an old classroom, it obviously hasn't been used in a while. We all walk inside before Aki shuts the door behind us. We notice some desks arranged in a table formation and take our seats. 

"You wouldn't believe people actually died in here" Aki says.

I nod, "Yeah, this just looks like any other classroom".

"Well yeah but it's not!" Negenama adds.

I pause and stare at the four, wondering if I should bring up the house.

"Something up, Hakuoh?" Cole asks me.

"Well.. Um.. Last night, I had a very strange dream. It was like nothing I've never see before! It showed me images I had never seen in my life that I'm seeing today and I'm just really freaked out.." I say.

"Woahhh what'd you see?" Negenama asks.

"Well.. I saw this club room before I ever entered, I saw all the girls and Collin, and I saw a house that supposedly belongs to Collin."

"Wow" Chloe says.

I nod.

Cole looks at us, "Well guys, I hate to break it to you but we have about five minutes left of lunch".

"Wow, time flew by" Aki adds.

Chloe responds "No kidding".

We all leave the club room and head back to our classes. The rest of the day is normal, that is until I walk out of school. Aki walks up to me.

"Hey, Hakuoh, if you wanted I could go to that house and you know ask about things."

"Isn't that kind of an invasion of privacy?" I ask.

"I'm sure it is but I don't care, I've had those dreams too and I want it to stop. It all happened after I saw the picture of the girls in the yearbook, something happened to that picture and it is affecting me."

"Do whatever you want I guess"

"Alright, I'll text you about it"

"Okay"

Aki leaves to see the house, how did she know which one it was? I sigh and walk home.

~Aki's POV~

I walk to the strange house, a thousand questions running through my head. I knock on the door and an older woman who looks to be in her 50s answers. 

"Yes?" she asks me.

"Um.. I was wondering if you happened to know who Collin Murata is?"

She stares at me, shocked "I see.."

I nod, feeling quite awkward. 

"Well, would you like to come in?"

"Yes, thank you ma'am" I say as I walk inside. 

I don't care if this woman is crazy, I don't care if she kills me. I need all of this to stop somehow, even if it results in

She brings me into the living room and introduces herself.

"My name is Alexandria Murata"

My eyes widen, this was his mother I was speaking with. I probably just triggered a bad memory, how stupid of me!

"I'm Aki Ito" I say.

"It's a pleasure meeting you, Aki, so.. What exactly would you like to know about my son?".
