Chapter 2: Back to School

Sam P.O.V

With the tummy filled with delicious food (thanks bro), clean uniforms, and a backpack, we start to walk together to the school (It passed a long time I don't go, heh). Soon as we got out of the house, we saw a lot of students going to school.

I took a look at Irus... He was looking at them with a little shy face... But, why? As far as I know, my bro always wanted to have friends, but...

Then, my mind becomes crazy, my head started to burn, strange images came into my mind...

...

A beautiful family.

A beautiful family traveling to Japan.

A beautiful family whose mother dies.

A father that became distant.

And my bro... Being chased by a group of guys...

Wh-why?

Why are these images coming to my mind?

Are those memories...

Our story in this world?

Irus: S-sam? Are you ok?

Sam: Huh?

My brother looked at me with a gentle but worried face, nothing changed in the ambiance. I thought I'll be unconscious or having convulsions, or something, but... Nothing happened... He puts a hand on my shoulder.

Irus: You've been off for a while, are you sure you don't have a headache or something...?

Sam: Ah, no, I'm fine, I was wondering about what will happen today.

Irus: Yeah, I do too... Even if that already passed a long time ago, I am still... Scared...

His eyes, looking at the ground, expressed how hard life was with him. I could see some little tears, starting to reveal into those orange eyes. I stand in front of him as I took both of his shoulders. He looks at me a little surprised (at least is easier to do a serious talk to someone of a similar height...) I look straight into his eyes, trying to get the focus of all that pain and suffering, I think a little and I start to speak.

Sam: Irus, no matter what happens I'm gonna stay by your side, and you know it already. But, if you don't go and face those fears, you'll never show all of your potentials, so, don't let these bad feelings give you a bad time, you have to stay brave, ok?

He smiled a bit, and then he hugged me filled with energy again.

Irus: Don't worry brother, I will. Thank you.

Sam: Man, if you continue like that, my face color won't combine with my clothes anymore, heh.

We released each other and then we continued to walk in the direction of our first day at school... Or, well, our first day at school in this world...

...

As soon as we arrived I saw many students, but most of them were pretty similar to each other: brown hair and eyes with little variations.

We left our things in our lockers, we changed our shoes (what a peculiar thing in this place...), and then, we prepared ourselves to take our different roads.

Irus: Well, I have to go to my class. It seems I'll be in the 1-2... What about you?

I take a look at the documents.

Sam: Huh, it seems I'm in class 3-1...

Irus: Well, it seems you'll have to go to the third floor.

Sam: Ah, man... Walking that much?

Irus: Brother... Don't be lazybones...

Sam: Ok, ok bro. Well, I'll see ya in your free time, I guess.

Irus: Ok, see ya! Have a good day!

Irus went inside of his classroom, then I went to the stairs... Man, this is gonna be a ton of work for this old skeleton...

Finally reaching the right floor I looked at the signs in the classrooms, finding mine, I enter.

Again, in that place, there were a lot of students, pretty similar to each other... But, one of them catches my attention. She was at the back, in a corner, next to her, the only empty seat, which showed me her loneliness. She had long purple hair which matched with her eyes, her uniform was totally clean, she looked delicate and formal (totally the opposite for me, with my opened blue jacket on my shirt unbuttoned on the top), I noticed she was reading a book called "Portrait of Markov". Trying to not interrupt her lecture, I sit quietly next to her. Still have some time before class, I decided to take a nap.

...

"You know you can't hold it forever, Sans... No matter how many times you kill me, I'll come back even stronger, and you will only get weaker. My DETERMINATION is my key to this power. So, I'd recommend you to prepare for giving your little brother a hi from me~"

...

????: Ummm... M...s......r...? Pl...lease... W...ake... Up...

Sam: H...Huh?

????: I-I'm sorry, it's just you were sleeping and then, you were murmuring things... And, I thought you were having a nightmare...

Sam: Oh, yeah. Thanks. Sorry, I interrupted your lecture.

????: It's okay, I was going to stop for a little...

I finally get a better look at her face, revealing her worried expression, I raise my head from my arms, making her startle a little.

Sam: Anyway, my name is Sam, nice to meet ya.

Yuri: I'm Yuri, it's a pleasure to meet you too.

"Yuri", huh? That's a weird name...

Yuri: So, Sam... You're one of the new students in the school, right?

Sam: Huh, so the news spread up already... Yeah, I'm. The other one is my brother Irus. Oh, and, it doesn't matter if I sit here, right?

Yuri: Oh, no, not at all! You can... Sit...

Her eyes focus on the desk, her face was slightly blushed. I hope I'm not being a problem for her...

Then the bell rang, announcing the class time. The teacher came in and we prepared ourselves to learn (or, in my case, relearn stuff...)
