I woke up rather early today so I decided to so some light jogging before going to school. I used to be in the track way back in elementary school but I quit half-way of 5th grade, now I just do light jogging and go to the dojo for my taekwondo. I may not look like I could do such thing because of small psyche but I could a nasty roundhouse if I want to.

I was on my thrid lap when my thoughts sway towards my encounter with the mysterious guy.

"Ouch! Umm.. I'm sorry, are you o--" 

"Clarise"

[I wonder how did he knows that name... Maybe its just trully a coincidence, I mean there's many girls with the name Clarise especially in Europe.

Yup, that's it! Its a coincidence! So lets forget about that guy]

I continue to jog until I reached 5 laps before going back home to take a shower and prepare for school. 

I don't really spent too much time in prepraring so I'm quicker than my siblings plus I'm an early riser, well its because of the 'dream' that I became like this. I'm pretty much trying to convince myself of the positive benefits it brought me just to let myself sane for the time being.

Anyway I guess I need to tell you a bit about my life and myself.

Lets see... As you have read I am Takahisa Risu, I have wavy black hair and aqua blue eyes. I'm the third out of the 6 of us. I am pretty much aloof with everyone other than my family. I don't talk much to people I don't know and don't like, and I don't like people I don't acknowledge to carelessly touch me.

Just like the boy back in middle school, he's a flirt and tried to hit it off with me but I ignored him then he grab my arm and that's when I give a nice hammer kick which cause him a dislocated shoulder. But you know after that he stop being a flirt, he basically just learned his lessons but its a good thing for him to turn into a new leaf while its still early.

Going back to the topic, I basically can do any art if I want to. Whether it be knitting, sewing, drawing, painting and any kind of handicraft I can easily learn it and do it. I also do some singing but I'm not very confident but my mom and dad are great singers, they say that both of them were in a chorus before along with my aunts and uncles.

 My family basically consist of my mom, Takahisa Iru and dad, Takahisa Kino obviously, my big brother, Takahisa Niro, my elder sister, Takahisa Eru, me of course, Takahisa Risu, my younger sister of one year, Takahisa Miru, my other younger sister of 9 years, Takahisa Chisu, and last my younger brother, Takahisa Rino. 

I know, we're a BIG family. They are actually my silver lining especially with what is happening to me, they were the reason why I haven't given in to despair yet.

 Well as you can see I have a typical normal family, the only thing that differs is me.

I was putting on my shoes when mom called out.

"Risu what time will you be home?"

"I don't know mom, why?

"Well make sure you come back early, it's your birthday you know"

"Birthday? Me? Today?"

"Yes, it's your birthday.. Don't tell me you forgot"

"Hehehe... It seems that is the case"

"Haa, well just be sure to be back earlier okay"

"Okay mom"

"Ri-neechan good morning and Happy Birthday... haawooo"

"Hahahah, thanks Rino.. as usual you're early as well"

"Un, I need to help mama"

"I see, Rino is a good boy"

I rub Rino's head and bid my good bye. I was feeling good being greeted Happy Birthday by your family since they most of the time forget about it especially after 10th birthday but ever since Chisu and Rino came to know about it, they're the ones who mostly remind the family of the birthday's of everyone.

[But I can't believe that even I forget about it. I guess that the result of my mental exhaustion... haa

Well I better go back as soon as school's over..

Better yet I'll pick up Chisu and Rino before going home, I bet they'll be surprise to see me~]

I was having a blissful moon that I once again neglected my surroundings. Before I know it a speeding truck is heading my way. I brace myself for the impact but nothing came instead i found myself in a meadow full of flowers.

I know that one day I will be separated from my family but I never actually thought that our conversation earlier will be the last one that I will ever have.
