Second day of school.
This time, Haru didn''t go to school with Makoto, she didn''t meet him.
Haru arrived to school tired, her classroom was on the third floor! She entered into the classroom but Makoto was absent - "Does he have fever?" Haru thought. The lesson was about to begin when Makoto opened the door.
"I''m sorry, I was late!" - Makoto said while deeply breathing - "I was eating Sensei"
"You are still in time, you can take your seat" - Hiraoka Kazuki said snorting - "Second day of school and already late Kenji Makoto-san? Next time you better be in time"
"Yes!" Makoto bowed.
"By the way Kenji-san, you have blood on your lips, are you ok?" Kazuki-sensei asked with curiosity.
"Oh yes, I fell and bit my lips, but I''m ok" Makoto replied. he didn''t notice the blood at all.
Makoto sat, and smiled to Haru - "Good morning Haru-san"
"Oh, g-good morning Makoto-kun" It was one of the few times she said ''good morning'' to someone at school, Haru wanted to thank Makoto-kun just for that, but it would have been embarrassing, so she didn''t.
「Are you happy?」
"Before beginning the lesson, Sakura-san, Komine-san, I think the class has something to tell you" Kazuki-sensei said
"We are sorry!" the class said in unison. Haru and Shuu were both taken by surprise. Shuu''s opinion about the students had suddenly changed, from ''retarded people'' to ''nice people''.
"Having a dream in life is important, and I think that they now got they mustn''t make fun of others'' dreams" Kazuki-sensei explained to everyone. Once again, Haru''s love was getting stronger and stronger for her teacher.
"Yo-you don''t have to apologize, we are ok, right, Komine-san?" - Shuu said with teary eyes - "Yes, I''m ok" yet Haru didn''t trust them.
"They probably wouldn''t have apologized if Kazuki-sensei didn''t tell them to apologize. Aaaah, he is such a nice man, I want him. Give him to me, marry me, choose me, Kazuki-sensei!" Haru had totally fallen in love with Hiraoka Kazuki. She was feeling so hot inside.
"Now let''s begin the lesson" Kazuki said.
************
During the pause.
"Ehm, Haru...san? I''m glad everything has turned out fine. Can we restart from zero? You seem a nice person to talk to" Shuu was sincere, he was talking from the bottom of his heart - "Um, I''m sorry for yesterday, I didn''t want to be mean, forgive me" -Haru bowed her head - "Forgiven eheh" Shuu had a face of someone who had just gained a friend.
"But, Shuu-kun, may I ask you a think, why do you want to fly, with wings?" - Haru asked out of curiosity - "Yeah yeah, I want to know it too" - Makoto appeared behind Shuu - "Hhhiiiii--" Shuu scared, threw himself on Haru''s desk
Both Haru and Makoto started laughing "Ahahah I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Didn''t mean to scare you" - Makoto said - "Don''t worry, you didn''t scare me at all" not even Shuu believed to what he just said, he was totally scared.
"I will tell you everything, why I have such a weird dream etc" - everything got serious - "We might not know for a long time, well, 2 days, but if it means we will become friends, I will tell you everything" Shuu''s face suddenly changed expression.
"When I was a kid, my family was perfect" - Shuu started telling Haru and Makoto his story of when he was a little boy - "My mom was unemployed, and my father worked in a normal company. Despite our economic problems, we were a happy family, they always bought me a lot of things, we used to go where I wanted to, they would have done everything for me. I was happy to be born in a family like mine.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.Then my grandmother died. My father became depressed, he didn''t call my mom ''honey'' anymore, started being colder with her and me and sometimes he had even tried to commit suicide. From the happy family we were, everything had gone to shit. At first my mom kept telling me "Everything is ok, your dad is only a bit tired for his harsh job" but how could I believe her? The situation was the worst you could think of. I just wanted my family to be normal.
One day, my mom found out my dad was cheating on her, so the day after she tried to talk with my father, they locked me in my door, but I could hear everything, things like "You know nothing about me" or "I kill you". I was scared, and started crying. I was just a kid.
After the fight between my parents, no sound could be heard, so I got near the door and I suddenly heard my mom hitting her head against my door, I could tell she was bleeding because blood started flowing under the door - "I was a bad mother Shuu-chan. Forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me..." - she kept saying those words for about 30 seconds until my dad arrived. My mom started screaming in agony, I didn''t know what was going on, but when I smelled smoke, I had got everything, my father was burning my mother to death. My mom leant against the door and told me "Shuu-chan, look at the window, can you see the sky? I''m going there, I will be waiting for you. *sigh* Bye bye, Shuu-chan, *sigh* I love you" - "MOOOOOOOOM" I shouted while crying but it was no use, my mom wouldn''t answer me - "Mom, I will reach you soon, just watch me, I will fly to the sky and will stay with you forever" "
"I don''t remember much after that, I only know the firemen rescued me and that my father escaped somewhere" Shuu, started sobbing.
"I...I''m sorry for asking" - Haru said, she felt guilty - "Ye-yeah, me too, we are sorry" Makoto felt guilty as well
"It''s fine"
"Do you want to come with us after school? We wanted to eat an ice-cream, right, Makoto-kun?"
"Yes, of course, please come with us" Makoto pandered to Haru.
"Thank you very much! I''ve never eaten an ice-cream with friends, so this will be my first time! Eheh"
They started laughing. Shuu slowly looked back, and started looking at the sky out of the window.
「Shuu-kun, fly!」
"Eh?" Shuu was sure of hearing someone''s voice, and looked around him.
"Shuu-san, is something wrong?" - Makoto touched Shuu''s shoulder - "No it''s nothing, I will go out now, don''t mind me" Shuu smiled and went in the hallway, in front of the window. He stayed there for some minutes.
「Fly! Fly!」
Haru and Makoto looked at each other confused.
"What is he doing? Maybe we shouldn''t have asked him about his past, but I feel so sorry for him" Makoto said worried.
"Um, I also think it" Haru replied
The school bell rang.
"Shuu-saaan, come back, the pause is finished" Makoto shouted
"Yeah yeah, I''m coming, sorry. I hoped the weather wouldn''t get worse, since we will go eat an ice-cream later" Shuu said with an adorable voice.
****************
"Aaaah, finally it''s over" - Haru said to Shuu and Makoto - "Let''s go eat that ice-cream!" she continued.
"Yeah I''m hungry, let''s go" Makoto said.
