Early June, the weather was hot and humid, and it was drizzling outside the window.
" Beep Beep Beep...."
Inside the dilapidated room, the phone on the bedside table kept vibrating.
" Mom five more minutes please five more minutes."Izana muttered in a drowsy manner.
' Oh right, Mom and Dad abandoned me when i was 6 years.' Izana thought as he tapped randomly on the bedside table until he hit the snooze button. Finally I can get some sleep.....
' Wait I'm late for work. Shit.' Izana thought as he got out of bed as he jumped up and darted towards the bathroom.
Drip drip. I listened to the sound of the faucet running. I then immersed myself in soaking in the tub for a few minutes before turning the tap of, getting out of the tub and draining the water out. " I'll grab something to eat on the way."
As he left his bathroom, he took a look at his home. The small and narrow room was messy. A small wooden bed was at the left side of the room. The takeout food was left on the wooden table and there were a few empty wine bottles lying on the floor.
There was a picture hanging on the wall. An above average looking man holding a diploma and wearing a graduation robe while being surrounded by a group of people all dressed like him and cheered him on.
He was very happy and smiling happily. He was radiating a happy aura which was a polar opposite to the dark gloomy aura he has now.
He looked at the picture in a daze before walking off. He then stepped out of his house then turned and walked away.
" I have arrived." said me as I entered my favourite coffee spot." Auntie I'm her for the usual!" Izana walked straight to his usual spot to take a seat, his nonchalant behaviour because they were used to it. He has practically done this everyday and he doesn't look for trouble with anyone so they didn't cause much of a ruckus and went on with their usual lives.
" Boy I ain't your auntie and I'm not old." A voice sounded from behind the counter and a beautiful lady who seems to in her mid twenties with brown hair and equally brown eyes. She had delicate features which are hidden by her work uniform. Many were charmed by her beauty and always tried to impress her by spending lavishly in the shop, but to Izana she is just a random passerby in this journey called life. " The usual huh? You seem different than yesterday what is with this new charisma? "
(A/N: Yo this my first author's note so I wanted to introduce some things but then i realised why not create a chapter dedicated to the Ranking of power, beasts and other important stuffs so yeah watch out for that chapter. Bye. )
Izana closed his eyes and felt a sense of nostalgia as he took a sip of " the usual " which was just a freshly brewed cocoa with a handful of marshmellows floating on the cocoa. " Why do I have a funny feeling about today. Mah I'm just feeling weird because I saw that photo. Why don't I throw that photo away. " Izana was so lost in thought that he didn't notice that he was saying his out loud and a lady whom sat opposite to him smiled then walked out of the shop were she faded away like she never belonged to the World.
' Well I'm just about done let's go. ' Izana moved to the counter and dropped a few coins, bade his farewell then left " It really is coming down." Izana watched the rainfall then hurried down the street.
He arrived at a crosswalk, the howling winds was smashing into his face and he was only able to power through it was the free hot cocoa machine in his workplace. While his mind was elsewhere, the light on the crosswalk turned green and he stepped forward.
As he reached the middle of the road a truck appears out of thin air. The light blinded his eyes as his life flashed before his eyes.
' Is this how I go? At least I'll die with no regrets '
He smiled waiting for the bright light to go away. But his body moved on its own " No I have one regret, I haven't asked Arisa out yet. " Her image flashed in his eyes the brown haired beauty that ran the coffee shop that he met earlier today.
" Not today Truck-kun. " Izana jumped away and escaped death.
"I survived Truck-kun. That means I cheated death. I can do anythi- "
Crraaassshhh
Izana was hit by the truck that appeared out of nowhere again as his consciousness faded he heard a voice coming from the truck " No one escapes Truck-kun."
Izana Hibashira was dead.
