Chapter 3 - Snow

Yet another lazy day, I am half asleep in my bed... Maybe I should go to school.... first class is already over, so what's the point, "sigh". I turn around, and after few hours of sleep finally decide to get up. "Hmmm it's lunchtime right?", nobody is here to make lunch for me, I guess that I will have breakfast first while I am at it, while brushing my teeth I accidentally look into the mirror. "Who is that?". The mirror doesn't respond to me... I spit out the rest of the paste in my mouth, and go have breakfast... or lunch, the phone starts ringing, "Yuki I heard that you skipped school again, if this happens again I will..." I quickly click the red button, my room is still dark, so light from red button goes through my entire room.

"Why am I like this..." room is quiet so my words go through it slowly. I already forgot... I turn around and continue sleeping.

After a while, the phone starts ringing again.

I wake up, oh I missed another call, its unknown number... they messaged me, it is my school, "looks like my university life ended sooner than I expected". I fall asleep again.

My room is so cold, why is that snow on the floor? Oh I must be dreaming, how weird realizing that I am in a dream, it's the middle of summer, so having a walk into my dream world wouldn't be a bad idea, I dress up and open doors... light bursts into my room... "So this is how it looks outside, I haven't been here in a while. While going through all that snow, I realize that somebody is going towards me, I cross the road... I hate people, why should I bother, after a while, I realize that snow is getting only thicker...

It cant be like this, a voice from far away asks me "Is this what you wanted?". I fall into the snow "Did you want to be forever alone". Snow gets so thick that I can't get up, I shout "I hate people and what!!? I can be forever alone, I don't need anybody else than myself, these faces, I've seen them in my dreams, the face of disappointment after hearing me speak up, the face of disgust after seeing me in class, smiles when I leave the classroom, I wish that at least somebody could look at me with a different face". Voice finally gets quiet, snow starts surrounding me faster, "take me I don't care, there's nobody that would care if I disappear under this snow.. snow, haha how funny my dream will let me die under the snow, Yuki... it is almost as if I killed myself... maybe I actually did, why didn't I think about how worried everyone must be, I am so sorry to worry everyone."

After a few seconds sun shows up, snow starts melting, I wake up.

What a weird dream, huh why am I crying? suddenly the doorbell rings, I had to be really confused, because my body starts moving on its own, I get up and walk towards the door, I-I-I-I cant, I wipe my tears and open the doors, light surrounds the person that stands behind the doors, so I can see him properly, he is.. student?.. same year as me. "To introduce myself, I am "Ogasawara Shiro" I came here to inform you, that I forced the principal to change his decisions, I don't like seeing smart students expelled", "Is that all?" He stares at me for a moment. He looks down, "Yuki I don't think that you realize", "I don't realize what?"

Hand lands on my cheek, slap wakes up my senses. "What did you do you bastard??!" I jump on him and we start fighting, he is pretty weak, but I am too so we both fall on the ground. "Yuki I don't think that you realize!", "I don't realize what??! What's the thing that I was doing wrong? I am trying you know? I want to go inside, but I can't, you don't understand me at all!! This is probably the first day you heard my name, and you will forget it tomorrow, so tell me, what is the thing that I don't understand??" He gets up and gives me hand, I look into his face... his face, what face will it be this time? His face gets into the light and shows a caring smiling face. It feels like a chain that was holding me down breaks apart, I start crying...

"Yuki do you think that you ever tried to really look into the face of others? Weren't you just assuming what other people think about you?", "NO, everybody hates me! I left my friends for so long, they all hate me now!!", " I wouldn't be so sure about that, I actually came prepared here". He reaches out for his phone and starts playing record, voices start coming out of his phone, those are my classmates! "Yuki come back we miss you. Yuki when you come back I will give you a beating, for leaving us like this. Yuki, I heard that if you won't come back soon you will get expelled, we don't want that, come back please." I fall to the ground again.

That day started snowing, scientists call this miracle, but since the snow melted after few minutes, everybody stopped talking about it after few days.
