「FOUR :」
Mei Shijima | Inspiration
4th School Mystery
Meanwhile..

──── ･ I stared at both of my feet as I continue to walk around the school perimeters. They looked like as if they're having a race, trying to find out which of my foot is the fastest.

While continuing to wander around the halls. I also tried to remember what was the reason why I'm doing this. Oh! It's about the girl named Aoi.

Aoi. Aoi. Aoi. I kept repeating her name in my head. As I try to remember how Yashiro-chan described her too me.

She's a very cute girl with shiny-indigo hair that were both tied at her sides with ribbons and she also has a pair of two glimmering indigo eyes. Also, she has almost the same height as mine. Hope this can help, Shijima-san!

Aoi-chan.

Aoi-chan.

Ao-cha---.

"Oh Sorry!" I apologized the moment my mind stopped floating since when I went back to reality I saw a girl that I'll almost hit.

Silence reigned in between the both of us after a few seconds. I felt my closed lips moved upwards when I realized she ignored me. I was about to tell her to not be rude, when I paused.

Realization finally hits me. Hits me hard.

Tsk.

I almost forgot. She can't see me nor hear me. She doesn't even know I'm standing right beside her since she's human and I'm not like her.

I sighed. And as much as I want to leave her alone, I knew to myself that I really didn't want to. I knew to myself that I really wanted to know. . .

how humans are doing now.

Are they fine?

How does society works now?

My sapphire orbs directly focused now at the girl infront of me. Is she okay?

Now that I'm observing this girl infront of me. I saw that her hair shines in a silver-white color. I couldn't see the color of her irises because of the camera she's holding. Yup! Camera! She is currently holding one now as if she's taking a picture of something outside the window.

My eyes travelled from her brightly-colored camera to the outside view of the window. I realized that the day's already ending since the sun was setting. The warm hues following the sun as their positions get replaced with the stars and moon. The horizon itself turning pitch black.

When my gaze went down. My eyes widened when I saw the girl I'm supposed to be looking for. Aoi-chan!

Before running to the garden where I saw Aoi-chan, I took one last glance to the girl. Which were in the same position the moment saw her. With her camera raised up infront of her face.

"Goodbye, whoever you are. . ."

I stopped sprinting and panted as I stare at Aoi-chan. Who was bidding farewell to the plants. Without doing anything except just looking at her as she left. I suddenly blinked when one the sun's rays hits me as it was setting.

And the moment I opened my eyes, both of it focused on a certain plant. It must be Aoi-chan's. With a beautiful flower blooming in it. But the thing that made it really beautiful. Is that it reflected the sun's light with the bits of water still lying on its leaves and stem made it look like it was really shinning. Well then I guess. . .

I found my inspiration.

---

Now holding the clean pot with the pretty plant planted on it as my inspiration. I was about to leave when my eyes wandered again until it finally stopped at a certain thing.

Oh! I was wrong, it was a person. I squinted my eyes and carefully looked at the person. When I finally saw who it was, I stilled . It was her again.

But now she wasn't taking any picture now. She was just looking what's in her camera with her right hand as she sat on the railings of the school's corridors.

I stilled even more when my vision travelled to her left hand that was resting on her lap. Only that it was gripping something. It was. . .

a small red notebook.

Notebook huh? Well, it's small too. I furrowed my eyebrows when I feel like I should be remembering something. Something about a notebook.

I finally caught a glimpse of her eyes. And it was beautiful. The moment it reflected now at the visible moon like the plant earlier. It was in a rare shade of purple. Amethyst-like although with a slight touch of the milky way galaxy type. Since within her irises was tiny bits of sparkles. I'm admiring her too much. . .

well I can't help it.

Who really is she, anyways?
