Floating Away With You

Chapter 2- Our Classmate

(YOUR POV)~
Can you stay behind for a second?" My English teacher motioned at me to come to him. A boring day as usual.
" Can you please take these books to Tendou? He needs these pages done by next week..." He opened the book and was folding pages that needed to be done. Rambling details I won't remember.

I'm almost 100% sure I'll forget the pages too.

"So make sure to give these to him, here's his address just in case. Please drop them off later today." I gave him a nod and took the stack of books.

Tendou, what a strange guy. Never said a word to anyone, but was always hated. I feel like he never got a fair chance to show his true colours.
He had a mysterious part of him that often scared people, I find it interesting, i want to know what makes him so mysterious.
He's always alone. It must be nice being alone like that.

When I was 10 my dad left the family, leaving me all alone with my mentally ill mother. I had to take care of her, there was always something resting on my shoulders. I always had to take care of something or someone. I don't complain if someone asks me to do something though, I'm happy to be needed.

School went by very slowly, but I was productive. Taking at least 3 pages of notes for every class and asking a lot of questions.
I was always pushed to have an 80% average or over, so that's what I've been doing. Failing just doesn't seem possible to me.

Finally the day was over.

Exhausted, I open my locker and take out all the books I needed to deliver to Tendou. Geez, this guy should really catch up. He never stays in a single class without being sent somewhere. I'm surprised he's passing.
I change my shoes to go outside then swing my bag around my shoulder.
Tendou's address was written on a little piece of paper, so plain and white. Little did I know Tendou lived on the same street I did, two houses down to the right. I had never noticed before.

Ding Dong... The ringing stops and there's no sign of life in the house. Should I leave the books on the stair way? No, just in case I'll bring them home with me and give them to him tomorrow. He'll be home tomorrow I hope.

I little part of me was disappointed I couldn't see Tendou. I wanted to know why he always had that cat-like smile on his face, why he always looked like he was in another world.

I turn around after "sneakily" looking into his window to make sure nobody was home, and move towards my house.

The park in front of my house was pretty old, but I remember when it was brand new. Kids would come and play for hours on end, until some guys came and trashed it. Ever since then nothing's been getting any use. The swings were rusted and make horrible squealing sounds in the wind and the slide had become a place full of cobwebs.

I notice one of our classmates was laying down beside the swing. Oh hey Tendou's there too! I get excited and go to call out to him until I notice something.

Oh my god. I gasped and dropped all of Tendou's books.

The guy on the ground was covered in blood, blood that was also on Tendou's hands.
