''I love you, Akarui.''
A gentle hand, as soft as a cats' fur and skin so smooth it could be made into a pillow, caresses the left side of my face. Before me stands a girl named Harumi, with blonde hair so charming it makes you want to be all wrapped up in it. Blue eyes so pure you question if they even belong to a human, and not an angel.
''I want to be your woman and your woman only. i want our kids to have those same grey eyes that you have Akarui.''
Words so sweet that you wouldn't even care if they were lies.
''I want you to put that ring on me and give me that last name, Akarui.'' She says while looking me in my eyes while slightly winking.
''Yeah, i want that too Harumi.''
Harumi slightly smiles while keeping that soft look in her blue eyes.
''But i guess your lips will have to do for now, no?''
Her hand grabs me by my collar and pulls me down. Our faces move closer and closer by the second. Our lips are nearly touching. I wish I could savor this moment and replay it forever.
Out of nowhere I hear a voice in the distance.
Look….ki…his…
What is it saying?
A..rui…kis…esk
I can't make out what it's saying.
AKARUI IS KISSING HIS DESK!!!
I open my eyes and see that my lips are currently attached to a wooden desk. I look around me and see that I'm in a classroom, specifically a classroom where maths is currently being taught by a bald old man in his fifties. More specifically a classroom where maths is currently being taught by a bald old man in his fifties, while I'm having a make out session with a wooden table.
''Akarui! what in Pythagoras' name are you doing!'' I hear the bald man screaming.
''Really? daydreaming again Raito?'' I look up and see Evan staring at me like I'm some dog begging for food.
HA! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WAS SMOOCHING ALL OVER HIS DESK!!
I look to my right and see my classmate Raf looking at me not like a dog begging for food, but like a dog that just tripped and fell face first into his food.
''yeah yeah very funny Raf not the entire planet needs to hear you yell, and plus i wasn't kissing anything.''
…..
…..
''We're not buying that.'' The entire class full of 22 students just destroyed my pride in a matter of seconds.
''WHATEVER''
Some time passes and the school bell rings as loud as ever. The sky outside has already gotten orange, the sun goes down earlier this time of year. Evan walks up to me with a disgusted look on his face.
''You really gotta stop daydreaming man'' He says while trying to contain his obvious laughter.
''Shut up before i punch you back to Russia''
''Come on, I've been here for over a year I'm still not a part of yall yet?''
''Not with that silver hair dude'' I say while he scratches his head.
''Ya think black hair would suit me?''
''Oh sure, you think a bikini would suit me?'' I say, trying to make fun of him.
''Yes.''
…
I get up from my seat and kick him in his face.
''Sorry sorry my bad dude'' he says while giggling
''Anyways, are you free tomorrow?''
''Why's that?'' I ask while he's still rubbing his cheek from the kick I gave him.
''This new restaurant opened up recently, and people are saying they have the best burgers in the city!
''Mmmm, i should be free after i finish my shift, just make sure you're outside my workplace at 3PM.''
''Gotcha! I'll see you then dude, take it easy.'' He says as he walks backwards and shoots finger guns while saying pew pew before finally leaving the classroom.
1 DAY PASSES
''finaaaaally done with my shift'' I say as I step outside the convenience store I work at with my jacket hanging over my shoulder.
*BZZT. BZZT*
''Evan's calling me?''
*CLICK*
''Yo, whats up dude?''
''So uhh, I might be a bit late…''
As per usual I think while pinching the top of my nose.
''All good, how long will it take man?''
''Like uhhh, It won't take that long. Only about two hours!''
''TWO WHOLE HOURS WHAT ARE YOU AT HOME?!''
''yeah! how'd you know?''
....
''Lord, please bless my good friend Evan by striking him down with lightning for the next two years, amen.''
''YOU'RE NOT EVEN CHRISTIAN''
''YEAH AND YOU'RE NOT HERE DUMBASS''
''dude il speed up i'll be there in an hour! see ya theeeeeen!''
*CLICK*
''Tsk. an hour my a-''
All of a sudden a long blonde curtain covers my sight, a vanilla-like scent flows up my nose.
''Oh hi Akarui!''
It's Harumi
Just play it cool, Akarui.
"O-oh hi Harumi!! What are you doing here?" I say while giving an awkward smile.
"Oh they opened a new restaurant around here recently, people are saying they've got the best burgers in the city!"
Bingo.
"Really? I'm actually on the way there myself!"
Please say it.
"Would you like to come with me then, Akarui?"
Sorry Evan, I'll make sure to buy you a meal another time. A man has to have his priorities.
"I mean since we're both going anyways, why not?"
A simple yes would have sufficed Akarui you zeptogram.
"Great!" Let's go then!"
"Of course."
My heart is pounding faster than it does when I'm playing horror games, and I hate horror.
"Sooo how's school going for you, Akarui?"
"Oh it's going great actually! I've hit pretty good scores so far on my tests"
I AM FAILING 5 CLASSES
"Ahh that's great to hear!"
I need to say something before the conversation gets dry.
"Yeah, sooo uhhm, how's things between you and Suharin?"
Suharin is one of her closest friends, she's always with Harumi so it makes it hard for me to approach her, although Suharin is quite friendly and lets us call her either Suha or Rin.
....
....
Complete silence.
Did I ask something bad?
"Well.. she's just been acting a bit off and starting arguments a lot nowadays, we're not exactly on great terms."
"Ah I see, I'm sorry for asking Harumi."
That's weird, Suharin starting arguments for no reason? There must be something going on.
"Oh no don't worry Akarui! You couldn't have known. Anyways, how are things with you and Evan?"
"Oh you know, same as always. I don't get that idiot and that idiot doesn't get me." I say while scratching the back of my head.
"*giggles* always you two. Oh! Do you mind if I use the restroom over there real quick?"
"Sure"
"I'll be back in a sec!"
I rest my legs on the bench and take a breather.
I can't believe I'm going on a date with Harumi, I couldn't care less that I'm leaving Evan behind. His fault for being late.
I will definitely get him some dinner another time though, he's still my best buddy.
"I still can't believe this is happ-"
*COUGH COUGH*
"My throat is so damn sore."
LOOK DOWN.
W-what?
Who's saying that?
LOOK DOWN. AKARUI.
I look down and there's a black liquid dripping from my mouth.
It burns.
Why is it black.
It's not blood.
It hurts.
It fucking hurts.
It's ripping my mouth apart.
I can't feel my flesh.
It's hot like lava.
It's worse.
It's like the sun.
It's worse.
WHY DOES IT BURN SO FUCKING MUCH.
It's in my eyes.
It's burning my eyes.
I can't see anything.
It's taking my eyes.
My head feels faint.
I'm dying.
I'm dying.
I'm dying.
I'm d-
"AKARUI!"
