Lies :: Tsukasa Angst

First Meeting | 01

Saki got discharged from the hospital a few weeks ago, I'm happy to hear she'll finally be able to go to school. She goes to Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy while I go to Kamiyama High School, speaking of school I have to go now. It's 6:40 AM and class starts at 7:30, It's a saturday tomorrow meaning I'll have time to go to Phoenix Wonderland. Which means I'll have the chance to make my sister smile with shows, though, I have to pass the audition cast first.

...

I'm forgetting something, I can't remember what I forgot.

Is this what I truly want or am I doing it for the sake of my sister?

--------------------------------

I arrive to Kamiyama and went inside, I then take the stairs to go to class 2-A, but before going inside the classroom, I saw glimpse of light purple hair staring at me. When I noticed him, he looked away. I wonder why he was staring at me, that's weird. I proceed to go inside the classroom, it seems he's from class 2-B which is right next to mine. Huh.. I then go to my seat to sit down only to find out the teacher isn't here yet, It's already 7:10, I wonder where he is.. Is he late? Weird. Mr. **** Isn't usually late.

...

Ah, thank God it's finally lunch. I didn't eat breakfast nor recess today, I guess I'll eat outside. Afterall I really needed some fresh air after what happened earlier... though.. I am still confused, I like threatre and I'm doing it for my sister and that makes me happy! But.. Why am I feeling this.. overwhelming emptiness by doing this? Aren't I happy? Threatre is great and it makes my sister happy so why..? Why am I feeling this sad, cold, uncomfortable, emptiness? Do I not like threatre? I thought I did. What do I even like? How do I not remember? Huh? Why can't I remember what I like..? This is confusing. Just.. stop it Tsukasa. You wanted fresh air because of this, you should stop thinking about it and think about the audition tomorrow.

Oh

I didn't even realize I'd already finished my food while thinking all about this.. Oh well, that's,, fine. Hm? It's the purple guy (haha purple guy) again.. Is he following me? Does he need anything? He's coming closer,, now that I had a closer look at him, I didn't realize he had teal streaks on his hair. But I still can't seem to figure out what he wants from me, He's been staring at me since I arrived at 2-A.. Hm..

"Hello." Oh. He's talking to me, "Oh, uhm, hi!" God that was.. WHY DID I SAY IT LIKE THAT?? Get it together Tsukasa and stop being awkward. "May I talk to you in private?" Huh? Oh.. He really does need something from me,, but why me? And in private? Theres no one around here so uh.. That's kind of a silly question. Before replying, I giggled a bit for some sort of reason. "There aren't any other people around, so sure! You can talk to me." Eh?? I giggled? Ah, why did I do that.. But it was a relief. It's been quite long since I've had a giggle. But, why did I giggle? I wasn't even happy. In fact, I don't know If I was ever happy.

"Well.. I was quite wondering if you'd audition at Phoenix Wonderland tomorrow?"

Oh, that question.. But why did he ask me? Did he see me there last saturday? "Huh? Oh! Yeah! I am, have you seen me there before? Cause I went there last saturday, yet I haven't seen you there nor recognized you." Am I 2-faced? Jesus, It seems like I am.. "Mm. I saw you there before, I was wondering if you wanted to join our troupe in Phoenix Wonderland. It's called "Wonderlands x Showtime", we just need one more member and I thought you were the perfect fit." A troupe? And "perfect fit"? I'm flattered. "Ah, depends? Who are the people in your troupe currently?" Hmm.. "Emu Otori, Nene Kusanagi and Me. Oh, I didn't introduce myself yet. I am Rui Kamishiro, I'm from class 2-B." Oh, Rui Kamishiro? The one who people call 'weirdo'.. Huh.. I mean I figured he was in class 2-B but I never expected him to be THE Rui Kamishiro people kept talking about... Huh.. Though.. I have yet to know who Emu Otori nor Nene Kusanagi is.. "I'll join, though I might need you to introduce them to me. I'm Tsukasa Tenma, from class 2-A" ..I wonder who the other two are. "Fufu, nice to meet you Tsukasa Tenma. Are you free after school? I can take you to them." Oh, well.. It's not like I have anything to do after school.. "Mm.. What time?" Ah, I want to go home already. I feel so awkward.. "12:30" Huh? but it's 12:00.. "12:30?? It's 12:00 and we still have class.." Is he planning on skipping school..?? "Fufufu, well, I'm sorry if you dislike skipping classes but, I'll have to take you there!" He then proceeded to drag me outside of the school building. "WHA— H-HEY?! DON'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING?? AND HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY MEET THE OTHERS WHEN THERES STILL CLA-" Rui cuts me off. "Shh, I already told them about skipping, and they agreed. Well except one didn't KINDA agree.." I sigh heavily. "I thought you said 12:30. Not 12:00" "Fufufu.. Maybe I lied to you? Who knows."

...

"Are we here yet? It's already 12:55 and I'm pretty sure class started 25 minutes ago." He truly does act like a weirdo.. Skipping classes and.. "We're here, Tsukasa." Oh. I see two girls who I'm assuming are Emu Otori and Nene Kusanagi.. But I can't tell who's who. "RUI!!!" I saw the short pink haired girl run towards Rui and hugging him. "IS THIS THE NEW MEMBER YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT?!?!? WONDERHOY!!! HELLO!! I'M EMU OTORI!!!" Ah.. She's very.. loud. "Nene, Emu, this is Tsukasa. Tsukasa, they are Nene and Emu." Rui introduced us to eachother. "I still can't believe you made us skip class for this. Couldn't you have waited for a little bit??" I heard the green haired girl or Nene say, sighing loudly at the end. "Hehe,, Sorry?" Nene looked at him and sighed. "Hello, I'm Nene Kusanagi, I'm assuming you knew since Rui told you before we met here?" Ah— "Yes, I'm Tsukasa Tenma. Nice to meet you Nene." I smiled at the three, but.. It's just like as I said earlier. I don't know if I'm even happy currently, I don't understand. "Hey, Tsukasa. Can we get your nightcord so we can contact you? I'll add you to our gc." Rui says, I slowly grab my phone to ask for their contacts. "Oh..? What's this? Untitled??" Emu and Rui looked at my phone unhesitatingly while Nene looks at my phone after a few seconds. "Untitled?" I heard Rui say. "Should I press play?" It had just been milliseconds and I heard a very loud.. "YES!" That.. was.. quite fast. "Okay, I'll press it." Huh? "UWAAH WHATS HAPPENING..!?" I heard Emu say outloud, quite panicked.
