I'm glad I caught the bus. I was working on some articles last night. I know I slept to a clock that's very silent.
Gentlemen? There are no gentlemen to offer seats anymore. My eyes were heavy and every blink was a dream.
And so, it begins.
Daichi texted me this morning, telling me to meet him and Amaya at the coffee shop. I wonder what this couple's planning to do. I also wonder why I keep a phone.
These two are one of the very few of those, who I like to call, pursuers more than friends. They're the people who hasn't lost hope for me yet. Those who's holding onto a pea.
Being the anti-social I am, I try so hard to not pity myself. Don't worry, I really try to relate myself to people.
I check the only thing my cellphone's contributing-the clock. It's only 6:15. Why did this two force me to come this early to that coffee shop with retarded baristas?
I'm so ungrateful. I shouldn't be complaining at all. If it weren't for these two, I wouldn't have a life.
If it weren't for them saving me even from pre-school, then I wouldn't be here. I'd be home-schooled.
If it weren't for these two pursuers, I'd stay home forever.
Exaggerating? It could happen.
I smiled, I closed my eyes. And I hear myself saying that I still have hope.
I arrived at my stop. As I stepped out of the train, I just breathed in. Walked, and got lost in the crowd because of my 4'11 height. After swimming in a sea of people, I finally made my way to the coffee shop.
I grasped the door handles, put my whole body's pressure on it, bending my knees, and I got in.
It took me a while to find Daichi and Amaya, only to find out they were at the upper part of the cafe.
"Good morning, lovelies." I said sarcasticly, "What do you have for me today?"
Amaya smiled her sweetest smile, "Nothing. We just wanted to encourage you for your first day."
"Our first day.", Daichi added.
"I see that you guys are acting like my parents again, huh?" I closed my eyes and took a sip, and I smiled at them, "Just kidding. I really appreciate you guys."
They both looked at each other with the "we-somehow-encouraged-her" face.
"I just wanted you guys to know that I really appreciate you to the extent of pretending I have a soul so I can love the both of you. Of course, I was kidding about the sould part. But I really do love you guys." and I sighed, "I just wanted to tell you guys that.. Now, I might have this tiny belief that I have hope."
They both stared at me, wide-eyed. Daichi's handing his hankerchief to Amaya. This might mean she's gonna cry.
"Don't cry. Haha." I said with a smile. "I figured it was just me stopping myself."
And from behind me, I hear someone say, "It's you. It's always been you."
This voice seems to shock me. It's pretty familiar, only I've heard it on Daichi's phone. It couldn't be real. It must be because I blinked, and every blink was a dream.
I had to prove it myself, so I turned around to find Akiye. He's looking down at me blankly.
"Konohara?" I asked, "Is that you?"
He nodded, "Yeah. It's me, Matsumoto Emiry."
My jaws would prefer to drop, but I try not to over react. He sst beside me as I try my best to keep my facial expression blank. As if I were expecting this meeting. As if I knew everything, when I knew nothing at all.
