That was Long Ago

Mysterious transfer student

It was this morning, like any other morning, that Fletcher woke up in a cold sweet. That dream that has apperead while asleep for countless times. Since he was eight, now, he's seventeen. In highschool. No friends, no girlfriend. Just Fletcher the girl in it. The girl that slaps him, helps him back on his feet, then kisses him. Her hair is long and silver. She is wearing a long dress, white. He shook his head, as if clearing it. He has thought of seeing a doctor, but its a dream, what could it impossibly do, right? He got up and got dressed. He put on his school uniform. Black with a bit of dark blue. A bit simple but not too shabby. He went to his garage to get his bike out, and started to pedal down the street. But, he doesn't get there directly. He sees a girl with poapers scattered all over the groud before he reached school.
"Need any help?" He called. The girl stood up in surprise. Then she smiled at him.
"That would be be very helpfull." She answers. He put the stand on the bycicle and started to help her pick up the papers. As they worked in silence, Fletcher could see that they where stransfer papers.
"So your transfering to my school?" Fletcher asked, the uniform she was wearing gave a hint.
"Yeah, I think so. But only for a little while"
"May I ask why?" She stopped, her ara went gloomy.
"I have to return to my homeland." She said, barely above a wisper. He took the hint and stopped asking questions. When they finished fletcher stuck out his hand to introuduce himself.
"My name is Fletcher." He said awkwardly.
"Hellos there, my name is Venus." She answered back. For a second his emotions went extremely cold. But it went away as fast as it came. He acted a smile, and pedaled away to school, that incounter took away five minuets. When Fletcher was heading to his classroom, everybody was outside the room. "New seating." I heard someone whisper. Oh, so thats whats going on. They heard some nosies on the other side of the door, then the door swung open. The teacher was on the other side. She had her hair messed up, her clothes where also a bit messed up. "Um......Miss yang?" Somebody asked.
"I rearanged the desk, please take a slip of paper to find what your seat will be." She said, and let us in.
"Oh, and your going to have a new transfer student." She nonchalantly said. Fletcher got first pick of the box. The desk where aranged to be in diffrent places, none touching, there where rows and collumes. He got 6-5, furthest, next to the window. It might be calm over there, hope so. He sat down and bagain to read his book. He didt look up untail he saw his last classmate sit down. The seat infront of him was occupied by a white hair girl, but the seat to he right was empty. Aright, none to bother me. He thought.
"Aright, you can enter!" Miss yang yelled. Then the door slowly opened, and Venus stepped forward. She walked to the front of the class.
"Hello, my name is Venus, and I hope to have a fun year with you all." She said. She's in my class? He thought. She looked around the classroom, but she stopped as she saw Fletcher. There eyes met for a second, but then she looked away. The student begain to ask her trival queations.
"Okay class, calm down." Miss yang barked. It went quiet.
"You will be sated next to Fletcher." She said. Her eyes widened a bit. She walked to the back of the class, and sat down next to me. She did't say a word while all of that happpened. Class went like normal.

*Ding Dong Bing Bong.* The lunch bell bang, and the other kids got up and crowded around Venus. Since Fletcher was two feer away, he felt suffocated, and escaped to his normal dinning spot; the roof. He aways uses to came and eat on the rooftops, because he thought lunch was the nosiest part of the day. After a couple of minuts, foot steps could be heard coming up the stairs. Then Venus popped through tbe door, and slam it shut.
"What are you-" she put her finger to her lips. A few silent seconds go by.
"I lost them." She explained.
"Lost who?"
"Our classmates, they have been following me aroumd all day. Its frustrating. So why do you eat up here?"
"I dislike people, like our classmates."
"How come?"
"I've got my resons."
"To me that sounds like a personal problem, and those are not solved easily." She said. I stood still. She was still at the door. That dark purple hair, doesnt match her additude.
"Well, see you in class." She said a left.
"Tch, like its you who has to live with this, curse." He said. He was shaking. He could hear thunder, and a dropplet landed on his head. He started to pack up to go to the classroom. He got in time for class.

When class ended, he noticed that Venus was looking his way.
"You lost something?"
"Umm.......could you...lend me your notes, I wasnt paying much attetion."
She said. I looked at her in disgust.
"I don't take notes, ask Betty for them." He said and turned away.
"Betty?" She repeated.
"Miss yang" he said.
"Why do you call her that?"
"Because we know each other." I said.
"Ohh, yeah, that makes since." She said and got up. She headed to the front of the classroom.
"Miss yang, what where the notes for the class?" She asked.
"To bad to sad, kiddo, should have been putting more attetion." She said while flipping pages of a text book. Venus turned to leave. But the temptation was overwhelming.
"A little bird told me that you and Fletcher know know each other" she said. Betty did't flinch much. "Yeah, we helped each other a bit."
"What was he like when he was a child?" She asked. She gave her a suspecious look.
"Thats none of your concern." She told her.
"Please, I think I should help him."
She stopped flipping throught the book. She looked at her dead in the eye.
"You want to help him?" She reapeted. Venus nodded. She got up from her chair.
"Well, back then, when I first met him, he was an enrgatic monster, you couldn't keep his mouth shut. He was a handfull." Venus opened her mouth in aghast.
"Yep, believe it or not, that was his true self. But then it happened, and well, he turned into who you see now." She said, and nodded at Fletcher, whom had his face stuffed into his book. Venus was a bit suprised, she thought he alwase had his soul as dark as this.
"Sorry, but whats, it?"
"Its not my place to tell you. Get to know him. Under all of that meaness, and coldness, there's his true charecter. If you like it, or don't is your decision. But even if you don't I'm still sure you'll get something out of it." She explained. "And believe me when I say that I digged deep to see who he truly is. But theres an emotion in him that gets his charecter out fast." She said. Venus thought about it. "Okay, but, I dont think I'll have that time. I have to leave in a couple of months." Venus said.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about that, I'm sure that problem will be fixed." Betty said confidently.
"How?"
"You'll see, You'll see." Venus had just gotten her brain tied with other things. She didn't know what to do with the infomation that was givien to her. She just went back to her desk. But when she did, inside her notebook, she found all the notes of todays class down. On the end there was a note. It reads 'don't mention it to me' she knew it was Fletcher was on the one that did it. But the way he ovoided her just made her, angry.

I think people are too noisy. They are too... emotional. Unlike me, they have a lot of faith, but one trivia event can cause all that faith to vanish. But when you get despointed so much, there will always be that limeter that prevents you from getting your hopes up ever again. Fletcher was standing out in the thunderes rain. He was starring at the cloudes, reminding him of his dream, where he was on a hill side, and he could see all the clouds in the sky, but then she comes along.
"What are you doing?" He turned around to see Venus in the rain too.
"Your going to get soaked." He admolished her.
"Yeah, I know, and stop dodging my question, and give me an answer"
"Nothing" he said. He started to walk home.
"You know that you'll never succeed in life like that." She called. He stopped in his tracks. He didn't turn around.
"I have no clue what your talking about." He acted dumb.
"Yes, you do." She replied. She wasn't talking about him standing out in the rain, but his way to talk to people, or his none way to talk to people.
"You're not the judge, dont judge then." He replied.
"I'm not judging you, I'm pointing out your mistakes.
"Too bad we cant listen to your flaws, us both dont have that amount of time."
"What did you say?"
"Nevermind" he continued to walk, this time around she did nothing to obstruct his path. He went home, and lied down on his couch. He thought with himself. I dislile her, she's too noisy, but theres something about her tbat attracks me. I yet to know what it is. I might be able to tolerate her a bit more. He thought. Since he had nothing to do, he went outside to spare with Exculiber. His katana that he names after sthe famous sword that king Auther pulled out of the rock. It is very sharp. He picks it up, and starts to swing it around a bit. Then he slashed, dropped the sword, turn his arm to the right and slashed to the left. His special move. Its difgicuty to master is sky high, since it requed to move the arm to the right, while your wrist moves to the left. It works 100% of the time. Because the opponent will see the bigger action; the arm, think it will heas to the right they will block to the right, but then slashing it to the left, makes it a very powerfull, and leathel skill. He hopes of never using it. He puts Exculiber down, and goes back inside. He then sits down on hus couch, and begains to read. Withen an three hours he finishes his book he had gotten that morning. He started to read on his phone. Not that productive, but its something. After an hour he got bored, and went to sleep at 9:00p.m
***
Early in the morning, six. He got up, took a quick shower, and got dressed.
Since he had forgotten his bike at school, thanks to a certain someone, he walked. Took him three times as much time, but made it that much more relaxing. He could look at the trees, and feel the warm breez, instead of a cold one. Once he gotten to school, he had a big let down, noticing that school gate where up.
But he did't mind all that much. He simply put his hands in hus pocket, and weakly jumped over the eight feet gate. Of curse, not any normal human could do that. But to him, it was a simply task. Once he entered, the school: *Bing Bong Ding Doing, Dong Ding Bing Bong.* the school bell. He rushed to his class. He silently opened the back door, and went to sit down. Befor he could sit down, Betty noticed him.
"Fletcher, since your able to pass the bell, can you tell me how your where able to pass the front gate?" She asked. He swolled.
"I climbed the gate." He lied. She knew that he was lying. Theres no place to put your foot, its impossible without a type of stoll or ladder..
"Oh really?" She was aware of that fact. After a couple of seconds of students staring at him she turned around.
"You may sit down" she said.
"Thanks for understanding." I agreed.
You idiot, you know that I hate having attention. He thought.

But his thoughts where interupted by gunshots, and screams.
