                I sat in class wondering if I can handle the nightmares any longer, maybe I should go see someone about it. I doubt that it will work like last time. They said to take medicine so I wont have dreams, but what is the point of sleeping if you cant dream? I want dreams, not nightmares. I wish they could just go away. Forever. I tapped my pencil against my desk and stared at a math problem that I was supposed to do. I was too distracted, I need to lay my head down. I moved the papers away and folded my arms on my desk and laid down my head. I took slow breaths and closed my eyes. I saw a flash of blood and I cringed. No... I balled my hands into fists. 

"Stop." I whispered.

"Ms Yuuki, can you please pay attention." Sensei said. I lifted up my head and opened my eyes.

"I'm sorry." I faked smiled and took a hold of my pencil to write down some of the recent notes, until the bell rung.

"Alright everyone, remember there is a test tomorrow. Make sure you study." Sensei reminded everyone. We had a test? When did this happen? Probably when I wasn't paying any attention. Gosh, I was becoming a horrible student. I stood up and grabbed my bag and walked out after everyone.

"Asuna! Asuna!" I heard yelling behind me but I kept walking. "Asuna! Hey!" Rika ran in front of me and stopped me. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked and I looked away. "What was up with you during class? You never space out that bad. It is getting worse isn't it?" She said quietly.

"Rika..." I faced her with my eyes becoming blurry.

"Honey, don't cry." She hugged me tightly. 

"I hate this..." I cried into her shoulder. "I want them back...it's my fault.."

"Asuna, no it's not. You want to go home?" I stepped back and wiped my face. I turned to see people staring at me and talking. I sneered. "Asuna, don't mind them."

"It's hard...they don't know what it's like..."

"Have you told Kazuto?" Rika asked and I shook my head.

"He doesn't need to know what happened, he might blame me and walk away." I said.

"I have seen how he is around you, I doubt that he would."

"You never know, people hide their true self." I wiped my face again.

"Like you do?" Rika countered.

"It's for the best." I glanced away.  "Plus, I told him I would tell him until I'm ready."

"You wouldn't tell your boyfriend?" 

"He's not my boyfriend!" I blushed. Or is he? I mean we kissed...

"Sure, your blushing like an idiot." She chuckled.

"Whatever...and I will stay. I need my grades to stay up."

"Ok... Well let's go get something to eat, maybe Kazuto would like to sit with you. Are you thinking of some orange chicken today?"

"Maybe, or a rice ball since that really fills me up." I said and started to walk toward the cafeteria.

"Asuna!" I turned around and saw Kazuto waving to me like an idiot. 

"Wow..." I cringed. "Never knew he could be like this."

"Just the man you need." Rika smiled and put a thumbs up.

"Oh shut up!" I shouted in her face.

"What's with the yelling?" Kazuto asked when he reached us.

"Nothing..." I smiled.

"Oh she was saying that-" Rika started.

"I said shut up!" I punched her on the side of the head.

"Damn Asuna, don't have to be so mean." She pouted and rubbed her head.

"Ha ha, sorry." I smiled and rubbed the back of my neck. "So you wanna get some food?"

"Ya sure." Kazuto said and took my hand.

"You don't have to do that." I blushed and glanced away.

"I would like to." He smiled and I looked at Rika who was smiling like an idiot.

"Ok I guess that's fine." Maybe we were dating after all.
