Til Death Do Us Part

Chapter 8

Its been a few weeks since I last saw that girl, what was her name again? Ember? No. Never? No, it's not that ether... Evergreen, yeah that's it. So it's been a while since I last saw Ever, but nonetheless I couldn't get what she said to me out of my head.  What did she mean by it? Why did she even tell me that? I had so many questions but no matter how hard I search I truly can't find her anywhere. I've been attending school recently and everyday after school I go to the park for a few hours hoping she'll show her face again. I don't know why what she said took such a toll on me... maybe it's because what she said reminded me of something I'd read a long time ago? I don't remember the name of the book, but I do remember a certain passage. ' that sick feeling when you can actually feel the pain in your chest from hearing something or seeing something that really breaks your heart.'  As I was sitting there a little boy who looked to be about 6 came up to me holding flowers.

"E-Excuse me miss..." he seemed to be quite shy

I crouched down in front of him In hope that he wouldn't be as intimidated "Do you need something?"

"I-I just wanted to give you these flowers since you looked sad..." he handed me the flowers and quickly ran away.

"Wait!" I yelled to the little boy but I still tried to keep my voice in a soft pitch.

He tuned around it look at me, stopping for a second "Thank you!"

I could see a smile on his face, he nodded in response as he ran to what looked like his mother. I put one of the flowers in my hair before I went to sit down again. 'What a strange little boy' I thought to myself, 'I don't know why, but I think that kid is going to grow someone great one day.' I played with the flowers the little boy had given me for while until it started to rain. Although I typically enjoy being in the rain, I didn't want to ruin the flowers that j had just been given I decided it was best for me to head home. Once I got home I sat down and began to work on the homework I assigned. The first thing I did was a project I was assigned in my ELA class, a 5 page essay about a book called 'The Outsiders' by     S. E. Hinton. It took me a little over 3 hours to complete the 5 pages, I then spent the next hour and a half proofreading and dialoguing. The next thing I did was a worksheet for my foreign language class, it was quite a simple task compared to the essay I had to write, The worksheet was really just me having to write and translate phrases. I have 4 other classes that I take but no homework was assigned for any of it. My math and science class teachers made us take a 40 page pop quiz so they decided it was best to give us a small break, therefore, no homework was assigned. My 2 other classes are P.E. And History. My history teacher took a maternity leave so she's out of commission and our sub (Substitute) dosent believe in homework for some reason. Once I finished my worksheet I had to email my ELA teacher apologizing since I got in trouble for drawing during her class. Once it had become pitch black outside I decided I'd try and message Amane.  I messaged him a few times but no response. I went into social media and went threw his recent posts, he was at his grandparents house for the week, I sighed
And threw my phone down onto my bed.

"Why is everybody busy when I want to talk to them!?" I slapped my hands onto my face causing my face to turn pink.

"Guess I'll just watch a movie till I fall asleep..."

I went out to the living room and turned on the tv. I rummaged through the bins of movies that were stacked in a pile and found a movie. The movie I chose to watch was a movie call 'manhunter' (it's seriously one of my favorite movies) it was a 2 hour long thriller about an FBI criminal profiler who helps out on a case involving a killer known as the "tooth fairy". He then gets help from Dr. Hannibal Lector. It's an old movie made in 1986 but it's still one of the best that I've seen. I wasn't able to fall asleep due to my interest in the movie but I didn't really care. Once the movie finished I got up and found a movie that was quite similar to the on I was just watching, it's called 'the silence of the lambs.' Both the movies would cause insomnia but for me, I've never been phased. Maybe it's because I've murdered someone myself but I've never eaten my victims like some of the most notorious serial killers, I don't care for meat that much in the first place though. The silence of the lambs is more of a horror then thriller but it's still pretty similar. The movie's a few minutes longer then the previous one but it was also made in 1991. I felt a little sick after a certain scene in the movie but overall it wasn't that hard for me to sleep too. I typically feel vulnerable when I sleep in open areas like the living room so I dragged my drained body off of the couch and into my room. As soon as I laid down on my bed I fell asleep, listening to the sound of rain falling on the ground.

(I know that the last few chapters aren't written how I normally write and I'm sorry for that. But I've been interested in certain things recently after a certain essay I wrote for fun. I'll go back to my usual writing style soon... but until then, please bear with me?)
(Also, there were somethings I didn't know so I just went based off of me. Like what majors/classes they have in Japan.)
