Ring Ring Ring

Ugh. That dream again. Why do i keep on seeing that scene on my dreams???  It's been 3 months since THAT incident and today's the first day of school.

" I'm off, Mom! " i yelled as i rushed on my way to school, seeing that it's already 6:50 and school  starts at 7. Thank god school is just 2 minutes away. i got off the car and rushed towards the auditorium, where the assembly is about to start.

"Yuuuuurrriiiiiiiii!!!!!"

I turned around and saw my 3 closest friends, Aiko, Yui and Aira.

" We're gonna be late!!!!" Aiko shouted as the 3 of them dashed towards me and the auditorium.

" We made it!" Yui said  as she exhaled and inhaled the air like it was her last.

" I'm so glad we're all in the same section!" said Aira as she hugged us. After the short reunion, we found our seats and listened and talked as the orientation began. " So have you gotten over him already?" Aiko asked. 

" Thanks for the reminder.."  I answered. Who the heck would ever forget that guy and that moment???

*FLASHBACK STARTS*

I was still a freshman back then...

In my dream, i clearly remembered how I just stood there in the green grass, staring at nothing while tears were running down to my cheeks when i was suddenly hugged from behind by HIM as he whispered " Stop crying... you're hurting me..."

i woke up and ever since that day i feel like my heart was going to burst every time I see him.

KANZAKI YUUJI. That's his name. He looks like a mean guy because of his eyes (like ryuuji from toradora) and believe me he IS mean. But there are time when he acts like a gentleman. i was taller than him though. But you know what they say " Height doesn't matter". He was not the "Capus Crush" type of guy. He was just ordinary.Even before i had a crush on him, we always competed on who got the higher grade in Science.  He doesn't stand out in class that much, but he does in my eyes. I was lucky enough to have him as my seatmate during 3rd quarter that year. I felt like I could answer any questions thrown at me (well, anything except math-related) . no wonder my grades that quarter went up. Well to cut the story short, on the day I wanted to confess to him (it was almost las dayof school) , he REJECTED ME. Like all the normal people, i got depressed. i wasn't able to focus that much at school. good thing the year was about to end. throughout the whole summer, i tried my best to forget about what happened and tried to be friends with him once again. but i am a coward so that didn't happen. when the new school year opened, it was a good thing we were placed in different sections. he was in 2-C and i was in 2-E.

* END OF FLASHBACK *

" YURI! YURI! Are you still there?"   Aiko shook me.

" Huh? What? Oh yea." I replied.

" So were you able to forget about Yuuji?"

" Ah... Of Course! I already moved on from him already!" I answered without thinking.STUPID ME!! ARRRRGGGGHHH!!! Stop acting so tough!

Well that’s great! If you were still thinking about him, I probably wouldn’t be able to hold myself and slice that bastard into tiny pieces” Aiko remarked. Well that’s Aiko for you. She might seem so fragile because of her face and height, but don’t let her appearance fool you. She’s a black belter at karate and has a hobby of punching one punching bag PER DAY and she won’t stop until it has holes in it.

You don’t have to worry, Aiko. I’m fine. I wouldn’t smile this much if I wasn’t.”  I tried my best to force a fake smile.

If you say so. Let’s go back to Yui and Aira, shall we?” she giggled and dashed towards them.  Half of the day has passed. We were told to go to our classroom and begin class. We started by introducing ourselves with our new classmates and familiarizing our new teachers.  The day went smoothly and it was already time to go home. The 4 of us decided to go out the school together since we all live in separate directions. We headed towards the school gate until I saw someone awfully familiar. It was Yuuji. He was standing by the guardhouse, which was near the gate. I didn’t know what to do so I just ran madly past the gate. Imagine the faces of all the students who saw me running away from nothing. I walked home alone. I really like walking alone because I can think clearly about stuff.

i arrived at home and changed my clothes. i made some snacks and plopped into the couch and turned on the tv. I guess it was coincedence but the scene that i immediately saw was a girl getting rejected. I changed the channel but none of the shows were fun so i decided to turn the tv off.I sat there as silence filled the room. i got my laptop and turned the music on. The first song that played was AGAIN by YUI. AGAIN. The title of the song placed a thought on my head. Should I get over him and find  a new crush? or should i confess again? I thought to myself. Ha. Only a stupid person would confess again to the same person who rejected you. But what if he changes his mind? Nah. that probably won't happen. But the word AGAIN just won't disappear from my mind...

What if.... again....
