It’s been a while.
Summer has come to an end. The late summer heat is now but a memory of a nightmare.
I hate summer.
I woke up responding to the sweet smell of warm bread. My eyes resist the sunlight’s glare through the crooked space between the shelves. I can sense that I’m almost late for school. Nah, it’s the first day of school. What do you expect? They don’t hold classes on the first day. I lazily rose from bed, fixed those scratchy sheets and opened the windows across the room. The glass were almost cracked and the other side was losing a piece.
The sun has been gleefully tormenting me.” Oh summer please get out of my way.” The temperatures are malevolently rising and acerbically dropping nowadays. It’s always incomprehensible, I must say. Along with the moody weather, I’ve realized that I have not been so productive nowadays. I have spent my days procrastinating throughout summer, or let's say hibernating is more likely a positive way to describe it.Whew.
I head myself out of the room, walked towards the table and grabbed that piece of bread. “Oh Kyre, he never changed.” He has been delivering goods since I entered H.A.D.E.S.; he’s a sweet boy, two years younger than me and he considered me as his elder brother. I can sense he's somewhat strongly attached to me. He's just like me, I can almost see myself from him and the sad truth he doesn't have a family. It's another thing that we do have in common. Family. It's something that I never had, something that was kept from me.
Basket of fruits, orange marmalade, strawberry jams, barrels of potatoes and sausages hanging from the high racks like long crooked fingers – how I wish. I’m already stuffed, my stomach doesn’t grumble like earlier. I stored the last piece of bread for Tako, my lovely cat who's a little bit like me. When it sleeps, it might take ages HAHA, Oh poor Tako *cuddles*. I have to prepare myself for school now. It took me half an hour to wash myself, I loathe having a long hair but I hate it more when I'm cutting it. Lathered in soap, rinsed, lathered and rinsed again, dried myself and change.
“All right, I’m off to go.”
Before I reached the door, a note on it snatched my attention. It’s just another simple note saying “Take care brother”. It’s finely placed on a clean paper but the penmanship was horrible. I can’t help but just smile. I stepped out from the door feeling the cool breeze opposing my body. It’s a bit cloudy at this time. I left my so called home which more look like a hollow tree and trudged along the busy streets on my way to H.A.D.E.S.
Today I wore a kimono. I put it on by myself, so it might look a bit weird. But I must say that I did my best to wear it. It’s not that I wanted to become different. I may look like little different from others today, I know that for sure. It’s painted from their startled faces. Being different is far from what I wanted to be. I just wanted to become special. Just to be special in her eyes.
I first entered H.A.D.E.S. as a sophomore. I was confined by the researchers for everyone’s welfare. I’ve met different people with different faces and different perspectives. I’m not close to everyone else since before but I must admit that I really want to gain friends whom I can trust. I met a few, and end up hurting myself. Now I’m entering my junior year, and I hope everything will be okay. *Sighs.
I already reached H.A.D.E.S. without thinking how far I’ve walked. I always make it to practice not to use any of my special skills. I want to preserve this power, hone it to become stronger and make it a bridge to help me find my past. I don’t want to live in mystery forever. This life is a game, so I'm gonna freaking play it the way I wanted to be.
“Ohayo!” a familiar greeting cheered as I entered the enormous gates of the institution. The jolly caretaker tossed the keys for my dorm room. I walked my way and smiled back to every people I’ve come across as my baggy figure waved rhythmically against the wind.
Tension.
It’s building from every step that I take. I just felt uncomfortable during first day of school. I hate introductions because I know I suck at it most of the times. I’m shy dealing with underclassman. I can barely contain the feeling of tension.. I…I.. “Heya there old buddy! How’s summer? It’s good to see you again” Jin greeted.
"Never better" I uttered. She's going to be in her sophomore years now. Wow, it's seems like its just yesterday. She pulled my hand and ran through the corridors leading to the gathering hall. She hasn’t change, always that agitated type. She might look like a little bit aggressive but I'm quite sure she's a softy inside. Tsundere. I’m overwhelmed seeing new faces in H.A.D.E.S. “Welcome to H.A.D.E.S. junior! Meet some new friends here” she gleefully uttered. She ran through the hall, greeting other people and waved her hands at me. I was left behind, panting and catching my breath. I waved back and flashed her a big smile.
I finally reached the gathering hall and just a few meters across me stands a familiar figure.My thoughts got jumbled and tension drastically increased, increasing in every heart beat. It felt like blood gushed to my face that it turned red..Oh Fallon,I just want to caress you in my arms.
She stood like an alluring Venus, her face defines an expression that you can barely depict. She's quite indifferent among others and that is what I truly love about her. I'm not sure what's in her mind, I hope it's not that promiscuous Abaven. Oh well. I'm just hoping that she's happy to see me, at least -
Today is going to be a new start.
Will I find the answers to my questions?
Will I meet the one who will truly care for me?
Will I be strong enough to survive this game?
Oh well that is for us to see.
Que sera.
