Chapter 5
Dreams
Tik tok..
I was inside a dark room, complete silence filled the air except for the grandfather clock ticking. I was lying down in a huge bed.. blood stains all over the white bed sheets.
Tik tok.
The clock went again.
The full moon shone brightly on the dark blue sky, no stars in sight. My gaze fell upon the beautiful moon outside the window. For some reason, I can't move. I can't talk. It's like I'm paralyzed. The truth is, I'm scared. I don't know what to do... Tears began to fall from my eyes while I remain motionless. I just let it all fall.
ding ding ding
"..Len.."
Rin
My eyes shot wide open, I was panting heavily. It was only a dream. although, It didn't make much sense. I took a glance on the clock beside me. It was still 4:00 in the morning, Everybody was still asleep. I sat up then I rubbed my forehead.
"You should still be asleep."
I looked around, who said that? "Wh-Who are you?" I asked in a frightened voice.
"It doesn't matter. Go back to bed." it ordered.
I didn't see it before but now.. He was in front of me. He covered my mouth before I could say anything. "Shush.. Don't make a single noise.."
"Now.. Go to sleep and forget you saw me here tonight.." He removed his hand from my mouth.
"Why are you here?" I whispered but..He already disappeared.
I slowly closed my eyes then pictures flashed through my mind..
..I was in a beautiful place... there were trees and there was a big lake infront of me.. the next was that I was sitting in a throne inside a big castle then the last one... I was... I was...
...dead.
xXxXxX
I walked alone in the school hallway.. even though I already gotten to know almost all of the students in this school.. I feel so lonely and incomplete. Yes, I have Teto and Miki always by my side, plus Iroha and Gumi which also became very close friends of mine.. but I still feel.. unloved. I felt different.
That night... that specific night which happened to me a month ago.. was something I could never forget. No, It didn't happen again but it haunted me till this day. I never talked to Quiet Boy again. I don't trust him. I knew something was up with him the first time I ever saw him.. Why did I even let myself to talk to him?
everytime he tries to approach me I back away... He doesn't go near me now.. but I can still feel him looking at me from a distance...
..just like now.
I searched the crowded hallway for him. I can't find him but I can feel him.. so I ran quickly. I bumped into a teacher when I was running.
"AH! ! I'm sorry!" I apologized.
"No problem Rin, It's fine." He smiled. "Rin, I have something I want you to participate in..."
"What is it?"
"It's a child teaching program, The school had talked to a children's orphanage.. We will teach those children there basic education. It'll be easy and you'll get extra points." said.
I do want to get some extra points since I don't want to be a bad impression to this school..
"Sure! That'll be great!" I exclaimed.
"Thank you Rin! I'll just put your name. It's actually going to start this afternoon 3:00."
I nodded then left. My next subject is math class... I sit beside him at math class. I manage to avoid him during classes but it still feel scary..
Upon arriving at the room, I quickly sat down my sit and avoided him at all cost, even though he was staring at me...
"What's up?" He said with a small smile. I took a deep breathe..don't talk to him Rin.. don't.
I saw his eyes fill with sadness he nodded then looked away. Math class had never been so dark...
The bell rang.. everybody went out.
"Hey Rin!" Miku called out. "so, like later Me,Neru and Lily are going schopping since it's friday. Do you want to come?"
"Uhm.. No. I'm kinda busy later." I said. I'm really starting to hate her.. She's this All-So-Perfect girl trying to steal me from Gumi,Iroha,Miki and Teto.. seriously! she asked me to go do our nails together with Neru and Lily a bunch of times! She's also sorta faking herself. She tries to be this cheerful and friendly girl.. but I can hear her talking to Neru and Lily.. she talks to them like they're her servants!
"Oh, I understand Rinny! Just text me if you have time okay?" Okay, NO ONE calls me RINNY except for my best friends.
I went back to my desk, my books were still there so I put them in my backpack.. while putting them inside I noticed a strip of paper that fell on my notebook.
rooftop later
2:30 PM
-Quiet Boy
Great, I guess he'll push me there so I'll die. What does he want from me, anyway? I glanced at my watch, It was already 2:25... should I go?
He won't kill me right?
I stuffed my books inside my locker then ran up to the rooftop.. I felt a cold breeze touch my skin.. He was standing there, looking at the field below. I took a very deep breathe then...
"Hey. Why did you want to meet me up here?"
He turned to face me.
"I think you know the reason, Rin. Why have you been ignoring me lately?"
My eyes widened.. should I tell him?
"I also think you know the reason why. You were inside our room one night. When I was having this strange dream. After that, you told me to get back to sleep, when i did, I saw pictures... One of them were I was dead." I said walking closer to him until we were only inches apart.
"Look, I'm sorry but if I tell you the truth, you won't believe me.. and you might go mad." He said. "Sorry."
I sighed. "I don't know WHO you are... or WHAT you are... but-" I took a deep breathe. "-It's alright Quiet Boy. I forgive you... I think."
It is hard to stay mad at him... you know, with his golden hair, shining blue eyes and dreamy smil- GAH! what am I saying?
He smiled. "really?" He's doing it again, that smile on his face.
"Yes.." I said, looking down to cover my red face. Then I gave him a friendly punch on the shoulder. "but if you freak me out again, I am gonna kill you."
"So, are you busy today?"
"Uhm, sorta.. I signed up in a Children Teaching Program which will happen at 3:00" I glanced at my watch. "Speaking of... It's already 2:27.."
"I better be going now..." I said then waved goodbye. He waved back.
xXxXxXx
I arrived and saw Mr. Kiyoteru .
"Ah Rin! Your here!" He said. behind him were a bunch of children 9 years old and below. "Heres your student." A little girl with black pigtails and a red dress approached me.
"Hi! My name is Yuki Kaai!" She greeted.
"Nice to meet you Yuki, I'm Rin." I replied. "Let's get started, shall we?"
She simply nodded as we went to a desk.
"So, what should I teach you first.. I mean, what are the things you're confused at?"
"I'm a bit slow at math..." She said.
"Okay, Let's start with math then?"
Yuki was quite a quick learner, she wasn't hard to teach. I also feel bad for her, being an orphan and all. She seems so nice and adorable. why would someone abandon her?
We ended at 4:55, Yuki thanked me.
"Thanks for today Rin! I'm looking forward for next monday!" Then she skipped away.
I sighed. Glad all of my plans for today is over, time to get to my room and relax. Eh, that can't be possible with Gumi and Iroha around. they are always those energetic bunch that will keep you awake for a week. I grabbed my bag and headed out. Once more, I sighed then looked around.. Hall is empty. weird.
I looked at my necklace. I can see my reflection. I can see myself clearly. I always feel safe when I'm wearing it.. I wonder what happens if I won't wear it. I took it off my neck and threw it inside my bag..
"Guess who's all alone.." A voice said. I looked around the room.
"Er- Quiet Boy? Stop scaring me..." My voice shivered as I said that.
"I'm afraid your little guardian is not here to protect you Rin." It said... Piko?
White hair and blue,green eyes.. I backed away. "P-Piko... Wha-What are you doing here?"
"I was just chekin' on yah'" He said. coming closer to me then pinned me on the wall. He leaned forward, almost touching my lips.. I struggled to get out from his tight grip.
"BACK OFF!" I yelled as I pushed him away from me.
"What's wrong?" He asked me. "Are you scared blond boy will find out about this?"
"Shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you.." I growled. "And don't you dare cheat on my friend,Miki."
"You think I care about her?" He leaned again close to my face, He smiled widely. I can see his teeth... wait.. fangs? I let out a bloodcurdling scream. Just after that, someone tackled Piko. It was him.
"Face it, you won't be able to protect her forever."Piko said while the blond boy had his hands on Piko's neck. My eyes widened in surprise.. I don't know what I'm seeing...
"Try to put a scratch on me and I can blame you for everything" Piko gave a small evil smile.
Len let go of him then growled like a beast. "Don't ever try to come close to us ever again."
wait... did I just call him..
..Len?
Piko walked away.. then after he was out of our sight, Quiet Boy approached me... He was about to say something but I couldn't take it anymore. I was confused and scared.. I passed out.
