I turned my music volume up, I could see people's mouths moving around me but I just couldn't really care any less about what they were talking about. Things have always been this way, ever since I was little, people who meet me never really understand me properly because most people are way too lazy to bother to get to know me. All they see is a weird, antisocial girl dressed like she has always been at a funeral. Even my own parents are far too lazy to bother getting to know me, they tell me to 'be normal' and 'wear some colour', and they always ask why I don't smile much and tell me things I read and do are weird. My friends aren't losers and I don't want to go out with anyone other than my crush~ HONESTLY! If you seriously don't like the way that I am that much then why don't you disown me for god's sake!~ I talk to my friends more than I do to my family and I consider them to be my family- I mean, they don't judge me or constantly try to change the way I am. I smiled as my current jam came on (lithium~ Evanescence), the train finally arrived at the platform and I stumbled around in the haze that is my constant reality as my family hugged and kissed me goodbye, I waved them away with a sad smile as I took my seat and pressed my face against the cool glass of the window. As the platform disappeared into the distance I smiled as a single heavy, wet tear rolled down my left cheek, in many ways I was free and in others I was not, though I had dreamt of the day that I would finally leave my problems far behind. I watched the darkened sky split open and shower the window with rain droplets, I closed my eyes and concentrated on the music blaring from my headphones, my heart leapt as the boy I had had a crush on for months now texted me his favourite message '...', I allowed my eyelids to quiver in irritation as my temper snapped and I sent him a daring and deliberate threat 'text me dot, dot, dot one more time I dare you'. I sighed loudly which earned a few judgy looks from stranger's but I didn't care, once again my heart did another sickening leap as Aki texted me and I let out a low and threatening growl as his text to me read '...' in bold emphasis. I texted him a bunch of random and angry letters and numbers from my keypad and then put my phone in my lap, the lace that covered the dress I was wearing did little to warm my ice-cold hands, my hands have never truly been warm and this always earns me some concerned looks from my parents but I don't honestly feel warm or cold, the children from where I grew up would call me 'vampire' or 'the dark'. The latter of the nicknames never bothered me because that is the meaning of my name (my name is Akumi and I had a twin called Akari –which means 'the light' but she went missing three years ago), I often wonder whether Akari was the only person who understood me, she shared my slightly dark sense of humour and we were inseparable. As I watched the rain to continue to pour down the window I cried bitterly remembering the last time I saw her, I had dressed her in a white version of the dress I was wearing, a white corset into lace petticoats and miles and miles of white ribbons. My heart grew heavier as my memory of her grew steadily blurrier in my mind, she had been the one thing in this world that made me happy and now she was gone I was moving far away from my home and family forever. I must have cried myself to sleep right there because when I eventually awoke I could no longer recognise the scenery outside the window, large sloping hills and deep rich evergreen forests adorned the picturesque scene before me, delicate snowflakes floated down and I quickly covered my pale arms with a shawl as an icy breeze slipped through a break in the window's seal.
A burning sensation of thirst began at the back of my throat and I looked around me frantically for a glass of water, alas all was in vain, I suppose I had not paid much attention to the other people in the same carriage as me because as usual I was lost in my thoughts but I spotted only one other person in my line of sight. It was a strange boy with snow white hair that contained a single streak of electric blue, just like me he had headphones in and was typing at an impressive speed on his computer, he had deathly pale, flawless skin and piercing emerald green eyes~ he was a mysterious kind of handsome and his appearance was so unique that I wondered where he was from. I'm pretty sure that at about that time he had begun to notice the fact that I was looking at him because he gave me a questioning look, the problem was that I never anticipated what he would do next, his look of confusion changed into a smirk and he then made deliberate eye contact with me... My heart was pounding so hard I was sure that he would be able to hear it as I heard the gentle clack of his laptop lid closing, I snapped my head to face straight on and tried to reassure myself that he was not about to approach me, but of course I couldn't! In my peripheral vision I saw him slowly approach me~ far too slowly! When he finally reached where I was seated I saw how tall he was, he stretched his hands out in his hoodie pockets and then said, "Hello there, are you going to Akiyama house as well?"His voice was deep and rich like honey, I tried to sound strong when I replied but my voice came out all nervous and hoarse, "um, uh, yes, c-can I help you with something?" Crap. Way to go me - I try to sound assertive and strong and then that happens. He then took his index finger and placed it underneath my chin, he then turned my face to look at him and as his piercing eyes stared into my soul, he said in a low and unnecessarily seductive tone, "beautiful eyes"...
Welp that's it so far my lovelies! Hope you like it (~.^)
