Dear Silhouette

Prologue

BAM!

.........

...Huh...? Why is it so dark?... What happened?... ah... I remember now... in PE class someone threw a basket ball really hard and it hits me and I lost consicousness... I hope I didn't broke my nose...

"HAAHAHAHA!"

?! Who was that?! Surprised, I get up and opened my eyes and. Curtains are covering all around me.Whose laugh was that just now?

"Ugh..." My head hurts! Am I in bed? So I'm in the infirmary room I guess... I should hurry and return to class. I don't want to miss any lesson!

"Uh... I'm sorry. Are you awake already? I must have awaken you. I'll be going home first. You should probably hurry too. The school is closing soon."

"Okay..." He walked pass the curtain and get out of the room. His silhouette looks tall and have a wide back... Is it the teacher or a student on duty? Was he waiting for me to wake up?

Suddenly i realised what he said...
"Eh?! Closing soon?! W-wait! What time is it?! How long do I sleep?!"

When I get off the bed and looked outside, he is gone.

"Ah... he must be in a hurry... it's already dark outside... I should hurry home too!"

"Good morning..."

"Akari! Are you ok already? Thank goodness you can come to school today! I missed you! I'll definitely get a revenge to that bastard!"

"Who?"

"Eh? You don't remember me?! That bastard! I'll definitely end his life!"

"No! I mean who is the person you're talking about?"

"Ah... I thought you forgot me! If you really do I will definitely cry! And about that... the bastard I'm talking about is the one that threw the basketball at you, Aki-kun. He keeps running away from me yesterday! Today, I'll surely catch him!"

"Oh so it was Aki-san, well... I can already imagine how afraid he is, but you don't need to go as far as getting a revenge, Mei."

"But...!"

I stared at Meika's troubled face.

"Ok..."

As if it was waiting for our conversation to end, the bell rang. Meika and I are in differrent classes so we split up and goes into our own class.

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●

When the bell once again rang to show it's break time, suddenly Aki came to me.

"Shochi-san! S-save me!" he said, looking like he just saw a monster.

"Eh?"

Apparently when Aki wanted to go out of the class, he saw Meika waiting in front of the door.

"I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday! I'm truely sorry! So please tell Shinyu-san to forgive me!"

I don't know what to say. I know that he would be scared, but this is beyond that!

I gave him a smile and said, "Don't worry, I have already told her to not bother you. You can enjoy your break."

I took my wallet and head out of the class, but then I remember something. "Aki-san, do you know who took me to the infirmary yesterday?"

"Oh? It's me and Okita. I feel like if I don't do anything, I would feel really guilty..."

"Was there anybody else in the room?"

"Hm... there was only the nurse. Why?"

"Nothing, thank you Aki-san."

There is no way it's the nurse yesterday. His voice sounded like a man after all, and there is no way the nurse would be the only one in the infirmary for the whole day. There must be people going in and out of the room.

I walked out of the class and went to the canteen with Meika. We bought out food and went to the school's backyard and sat on our usuall bench. I opened my cheese cream-filled bun and have a bite while Meika take a sip of her coffee.

"I heard your conversation with Aki-kun before. He was pathetic." Meika said while laughing hard.

"Why did you asked about who was in the infirmary tho? It has been a long time since you got interested in other people."

"It's not like that... it's just... yesterday, in the infirmary..." I told Meika how I woke up yesterday and the person which I only see the silhouette.

"Ahahahahaha! How could you be interested in a person just by his voice and shadow. Ahhahahaaha!" Meika can't seem to stop her laugh.

"Stop laughing! And I said I'm not interested! I'm just curious!"

"Ahahaha! It's the same!"

I tried to convince Meika that curious and interest is different but she won't stop laughing. Fortunately we were able to finish our snack even though Meika almost choked on her coffee.

"Hah... I'm tired of laughing..."

"That's your own fault."

"Don't be like that... How about you check the visitors list in the infirmary? You may find his name."

"Visitors list?"

"Ah... it's almost time for class. Let's go back. I'll accompany you to the infirmary at lunch later."

We got back into the building and went to our own class.
