EIGHT

You couldn't find Aiya anywhere but you were late, you had to go take Chiyo to school too. Well, she's her own girl, maybe she's just going on a walk or something. You know how distant she's being recently. Thats what you kept telling yourself.

As you arrived to your class and sit down. You feel a tap on your shoulder and see Aiya? In your school's uniform? What's going on?

You pinch yourself and feel it, oh this is REAL. "Bowie? What are you doing here?"

"Bowie? My name's Aiya, silly." Aiya pokes Yume's arm. "Are you okay, Yume?"

Then President Minamoto came up to Aiya. "Good morning, Kiyama and Saihara." He greets us. "Here you go, Saihara." THEY WERE COMMUNICATING? THEY'RE NOT FIGHTING? NO ZAPPING? You look at them both in confusion.

Minamoto hands her a notebook. "I really like your story, you should write books someday." Aiya smiles. SHES SMILING??? AT MINAMOTO???

You walk out of the class in a hurry.

"Yume! Where are you going? Class is starting soon!" Aiya yells at her.

Too late. You were already halfway across the hallway. You looked back at the classroom, not realizing there was a girl running to her class. You bumped into Yashiro and you both fell to the ground.

"Kiyama-senpai?" Yashiro looked straight at you. "Sorry! I was in a rush, I'm late!" She put her hands together. She quickly got up, she bent down to grab her bag but you got it before she did.

"No, I understand. You should head to class now, Yashiro." You got up and handed her the bag and smile.

"Thank you!" She bowed and ran to class. Geez, she's gonna bump into someone else like that.

Shoot. You're late. You walk back to class. You want to figure out what's going on.

After a warning from your teacher, the day went on normally, except the fact that the teacher acknowledged your dead friend. You look outside the window and see this weird tower, has that always been there?

Lunchtime! You eat your food with Aiya and Minamoto, which is weird, you usually never see Minamoto around during lunch. Aiya excused herself to the bathroom and you look at Minamoto.

"Hey, Minamoto."

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Has Bowie.. I mean Aiya always been here?"

"Yeah, are you okay? You've been acting weird."

Okay. This has to be a prank. Seriously this cannot be REAL. Some weird spell Bowie put on you or something.

"Nope! All good!"

Aiya returned and sat back down, eating with you both once again. You then notice a girl walk over to you guys. She wasn't in your class though.

She was beautiful. She had long dark hair going down to her waist. Her eyes were big and dark green. She was skinny and slender.

"Big sister!" Aiya jumps into her arms. You didn't know Aiya had an older sister. Actually, there is not a lot you know about that girl. It made you doubt her a bit.

"Kiyama. Minamoto." She looks at you and Minamoto. "Just came to give my little sister a snack." She gives Aiya a mochi. And went on her way back to her class.

You look at the girl. Saihara. She walked so elegantly...

Aiya eats her mochi with joy. "Hey, Yume."

You snap out of your thoughts. "Yeah?"

"Remember we need to clean the pool after school, okay?"

"Oh yeah, my little brother volunteered for that. Tell him I said hi." Minamoto handed you a juice box. "Brought this for you. I would go with you guys but duty calls, right? Saihara?"

"Thank you." You put the straw in and drink it, it was your favorite juice.

"Yeah, the Student Council must be pain." Aiya jokes.

As lunch went on, you guys laughed, play fought, and actually had fun. It was almost like it was supposed to be this way. You started to get used to your company, letting your wall down. Looking back on it, you should've kept telling yourself it was all a lie.

It was too perfect. Picture Perfect.
