“Lily. Have some time before going home?”
“Yeah. I do have some time? Do you want to go somewhere?”
“yes. i want to try experiencing virtual reality at this internet cafe you know. I heard they used the latest model. Want to join? Shella and Hasega team seems to come too”
“Ehh? Aren’t Hasega, Victor, and Dem in different school?”
“Yeah. We changed phone numbers. They are the one that advertise that cafe you know.”
“I see. Sure thing. Let’s go.” i said back to her
“Ahh, here they are. “Anya said as 2 man approaches.
“Hello. My name is Jason. It is Hasega in game. Nice to meet you.” he said while smiling. He is wearing glasses and totally feel like a gentleman. I heard he is one of major company’s director’s son.
“And my name is Rickson. You can call me Victor in game” said a muscular and carefree individual. In game he is more wild and looked like vikings but in here he is kind of macho man. Not much difference but he is better looking in real world “You must be Riri huh? Your face is totally different but your aura is the same. Hahaha”
“Ahh, and i forgot to mention this one, he is a little shy in real world, but this is my childhood friend Ricky.”
“Hello. I am Lily here.” I replied while nodding my head
Ricky is a total silent and have nerd looking. He is also wearing thick glasses. Comparing to Dem, their thin atmosphere is the same but he is so much better looking and have a better attitude in game. He is too shy i guess. Looking at him kinda looking at myself before playing Eiden online. But unlike him, i don’t have this irritating inferiority complex on me. i wonder if he is bullied at school. Or wait, he is just like me right? No, he seemed totally afraid to interact unlike unlike me who is just nervous when interacting.
“Ahh, the bus has arrived.” Shella said as she waved at the bus which is totally unnecessary. I mean, the bus will stop by itself on a bus stop.
“The bus is densely packed. Should we wait for another?” Anya said while she seemed reluctant to go. personally i do not like standing on a bus either. But the boys and Shella seemed eager enough that they have begun climbing into the bus. Me and Anya reluctantly ride the same bus. It is 2 vote versus 4 so there is nothing we can do. i can use my car but there are 6 people here so i just send a mail to my driver telling him to go home and pick me up later.
The bus moves like usual and stopped at the usual traffic light. But i wonder why i feel so uncomfortable. I know the bus is densely packed until we are almost unable to breath. But what is this uncomfortable feelings. My senses are screaming for me to get out and run as fast as possible.
“what is it Lily? You looked incredibly pale just now.” Anya asked me with a worried look on her face.
“I have an incredibly bad feeling just now.”
“Hah? What are you talking out of nowhere?” Anya asked with a surprise look

“Don’t know. I just feel uneasy.”
Anya looked around her and smiled “Well, you were a shy person. Maybe you are still uncomfortable with so many people around. Don’t worry, you will get used to it. just like Dem, ah i mean Ricky. Even though he is shy, he isn’t that rich so he used bus to commute to his school. He is more shy than you and he can get used to this situation, you will get used to it in n time.”
“Okay, sorry that i bothered you with such useless worry”
“Don’t mention it.” she gave a hug and looked back at Shella and Jason talking. Sometimes butting in heir conversation
The red traffic light is supposed to be only 2 and half minutes. But why do i feel like i have been in a traffic jam for hours. My strength is already drained. This bus air conditioner isn’t functioning well with so many people riding it. I opened my smartphone to chat with Stella through app. If i talked with her maybe i will feel more delighted against this moving oven called bus
the traffic light finally turned to yellow. The bus started to turned on its gears and moves. But a speeding gasoline truck was approaches from the side. A horn sounded with a very loud voice.
“Watch out!!!” some men screamed when they looked at the truck
“AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” the women screamed
I can only blankly looked at the truck speeding towards us. In just a moment, i feel a great force shocked my entire body and the world around me seemed to spin around. The bus fell to the opposite side of the truck and got spun around. As my head crashed to something, the world fel silent and my sight gradually blacked out.
BLAAR!!!
The gasoline truck exploded as to ensure our deaths and before i lose my sight i saw an enormous flame bigger than any flame i see on Eiden. In a moment i fell unconscious a faint light appeared on the corner of my view and the world fell silent with darkness around me. Stella, sorry, i might be not be able to meet you again, i was supposed to never leave you again, will you be okay without me?
