Dreaming With My Head Held Up High.

Chapter 2: Angelus

I was hurrying. Wondering why I was running late when I had woken up so early. I was at the train station that I noticed  that time had seemed to jump.

How you say? simple,

It was only a quarter to 7 when I had left the house and a quarter (about 15 minutes) to get to the train station and arrive at school. strangely, I should have been there at 7:00 but instead, it's already 8:30.

Though being struck with such a mystery had happened before, this is the first time that the time Interval had been so large. usually it would only be 5-10 minutes.

or maybe it's just me being paranoid? well--- whatever it is, this prank that god is playing upon me has got to stop. seriously.

------

I've finally arrived at school, it's a typical start for me I guess.

Except for the fact that it's... 

CRAP!

9:00?! seriously?! I've already missed two periods! damn this annyoing mystery.

I sighed loudly as I ran to my classroom. Hurriedly, I climbed 3 floors without stopping.. And when I entered the classroom. I felt it.

A strong sensation wavered me as I stepped in. For a second,  I felt that I was breaking down and crumbling upon the cold floor, just like that dream. I had wanted it to stop but faster and faster, it became strong. Luckily, Freed. My only friend (lonesome--right?) had called out to me.

"EXA!" He shouted.----With his voice, I had snapped out of my trance. My consciousness returned and I felt healthier than ever before.

 "yes?" I calmly replied.

"You're late." he said, and added. " you look awfully tired, want some of my juice?"

I shook my head, I was totally fine, really. But he relentlessly offered me his snacks until I had accepted them.

He's very nice, Freed.

He's my childhood friend, and currently the schools Idol. Though I have no idea why he still hangs around with a nobody like me.

*minutes later*

I took a quick look at him again while he's sitting in front of my desk.

He was...

smiling. 

Not just any smile though, It was a very cheery and angelic smile. Too much that it seemed impossible for any human to possess it. 

I escaped his gaze, for recess had already ended. And the class had needed to transfer to the laboratory room for science. 

Still he stayed there, not even flinching his face away from me. As I stared into it, I found myself treading deeper and deeper into his eyes. I finally lost it, I had a strange feeling about him.

Our eye contact was out-of the-ordinary, It did'nt seem normal. It was mesmerizing yet frightening...It was.....nevermind.

Suddenly my mouth had let loose a strange question.

"Who are you exactly?" I said surprisingly while looking at him straight. Strangely though, Instead of being confused. He seems to laugh coyly.

"Im Freed Angelique, your friend. Why do you ask?" saying this as he cheerfully smiled again.

"n-nothing,  I was just....curious. I guess? please, truthfully answer my question. Freed, who are you?"

with a cold laugh he avoided the question. Stood up, approached me. And whispered.

"- - - - - - -- - - -- - - -- It's not yet the time, my cute little servant... ---- - - - --- - - - -"

I froze in my spot. Bewildered to what Freed had said. What did he mean by 

"My servant?"
