Chapter 1 - The Last Semester

On top of the slight hill, the high school I am going towards now, Kamiyama high school, is a bit famous for its extra curricular activities, wonder if that's why my parents decided to send me in this one. My name's Tomoya Izumi, due to my parents secret profession I have to travel with them all across the country, its not that there job is some kind of mysterious agent or something, they just don't tell me their profession but I bet they just want to wonder around the country and their job must relate with that. Since I am not used to stay at one place for long I don't have what they call friends, and so no other activities than spending time on home playing games or studying or completing my homework for me. I think that my parents thought that I might be able to make some friends and be a part of some other activities too in this high school, since we are gonna stay here a bit long according to them. Unfortunate for them one semester of my last year of high school has been already gone by and I am still the same except some things. Today is the first day of the final semester of my high school life, three months from now there is a school fest honoring the seniors and almost everything is arranged by the juniors but that doesn't mean that seniors can't be a part of it, to be honest as I heard, in almost everything on that fest seniors are must and school authorities might even force some seniors to be a part of it too and so I have no clue what's gonna happen with me in that fest, and there might be media too if I remember correctly there was a dance competition last year in the fest which was telecasted on a local TV channel and was on social media too, I should better stay away from it if they repeat that competition, well no need to stressed right now we'll just wait and see.

And here I am on the front gate of The Kamiyama High School and it began just like always or maybe not, coming from the other side of road those are Miya Ichinose and Ryou Sekke, those two are basically neighbours but I wonder. "Good morning Izumi" said Ichinose, "yo Tomoya" said Sekke, "Morning to you two love birds too" I said like I am making fun of them, "Hey you got it all wrong" said Ichinose acting weirdly, not like she's in favor of it, "Man its not like that at all" said Sekke calmly, "Hard to believe Ryou" I said, "huh ?' Ichinose shockingly, "Hey calm down, I was just messing with you two, I know you two are just friends." I said thinking that this might go far a little. Ichinose took a long breathe and relaxed "I guess we should head over now" said Sekke. We all went to school after some time the first period started it was of Ms. Fujitoshi's, she's our homeroom teacher and our English literature's teacher. "Morning Kiddo's I have a surprise for all of you" said Ms. Fujitoshi, always acting energetic and friendly with her students until she gets mad, Ryou was sitting right behind me and Ichinose was on my left desk,well now so I notice those two are pretty much all the friends I ever have I guess, All three of us are just average normal Japanese students anyway though Ichinose is a little cuter than most of the girls in our school. "I wonder what's the surprise is ?" Ichinose asked to us while I had no clue Sekke suddenly said in a shocking voice "Don't tell she's going to give us our fest's job today.",hearing that kinda stressed me out after all I am always away from these kind of things, damn you Sekke do you have to say that, "Enough" Ms. Fujitoshi said continuing with "If you all done now then I would like to tell you what's the surprise is, its a transfer student from tokyo she's going to join our class by tomorrow, apparently she just moved here and wasn't able to come today either, I am telling you all this today because I knew what kind of class it is so behave well, after all this is your last semester as high schoolers" except that calm last line its like she was giving us lecture for something we have done wrong. "its weird than having you here, isn't it Tomoya, I mean you too just joined us after half of the first semester passed" said Sekke, "Are you making fun of me, not like I care anyway. I bet that transfer student has his own reasons for joining his last semester of high school like this" I said, "You are right Izumi, you shouldn't say about other people like that Sekke" said Ichinose. "Okay, I just mean its too late for a transfer isn't it" said Sekke, "Well you do have a point, but that doesn't mean you can say anything kiddo" said Ms. Fujitoshi, I bet she heard everything we talked so far. "Mem its not like I.. I..I" unable to say anything Sekke, not less than a miracle I guess. "Hold your horses kiddo I am not mad at you but you shouldn't get carried away" said Ms. Fujitoshi in a scary tone every single one of us got scared, Sekke if you didn't piss your pants I am gonna treat you, in my mind that is, "Yes, mem" said Sekke like a soldier saying to his commander. The rest of the day went by normal there after, after leaving school we three were on our way discussing what's we gonna do in the fest which kinda pissing me off, I just wanna stay on home that day, and for real. After that we part ways those two went to market guess needed some supplies, not gonna spy this time after they caught me last time in market following them. On my way home I saw a barely 10 years old kid on a bicycle, riding it a little fast though, I thought that he is a little faster for his age, though the kid is cute, well he's just adorable. I turned to change road when I heard a loud voice, I turned around just to see that the boy got crashed in the electric poll, I rushed to him asking if he is okay, one or two people gather there too for helping him, I saw that his ankle has been messed up and now it will be hard for him to back on his own, so I asked where he lived fortunately its very near to my home. I thanked to the people who helped there then I made the kid to sit on bicycle while I walked it to home. "Hey kid, I didn't saw you here before, what's your name anyway ?" I asked the kid, "its Shota and I just moved in here with my mother and sister from tokyo" he replied, "your father didn't come" I asked, "No he didn't" he replied very innocently, "well you can call me Tomoya if you want to" I said to change the topic, "Mom says its not good to call out elders name" he replied "Then you can call me big brother if you want, Shota," I said "big brother, that would be okay" he replied, I talked to him a little so he didn't get bored finally we reach his home, his mom was waiting for him. "Shota what happened to you ?" her mom said, I explained her what happened, "Thanks for helping my kid well I am Mrs. Izuya, we just moved in here me and my kids, we don't know anyone here, my daughter was out for sometime though she told me that she might get late a bit, he went to search for her, guess he was alone." Mrs. Izuya said, "well I am just in neighborhood, so if you need anything just come by, my parents are very friendly so I guess they would like your accompany too" I said and told her where I live. "I am sure to come by, people like you are rare in unknown places too you know" said Mrs. Izuya and we laughed a little, afterwards I went to home and went straight to my room thinking what kind of day was today, kinda out of character for me I guess. Later I spent my time with my parents on dinner but there were some things that I Wonder, like who the new transfer student is, well guess I'll find soon, Later at midnight I woke up feeling a little bit suffocated so I went towards window in my home, when I opened window I saw someone down there on street. "I wonder who's that during these hours" I said, suddenly the clouds that captured the light of the moon vanished and a silver light fall on that person on street now I can see a little better, she's a girl but what she's doing there I was unable to say, it seems to me that she was breathing heavily too, at that moment I was speechless, she turned around a little and her face now is towards me at that moment I was unable to react, her face was like that of a angel and her silver hair makes me wonder if an angel has lost her way I was just staring at her, standing in my room like a doll, she seems to me the flower that only bloomed once a year, the flower which is precious compared to anything in this world, the most beautiful thing existed in this world, it was astonishing that my heart started to pound a little this feeling I didn't know what it is, but the time she saw me she ran away, I can't say for sure where but I was unable to do anything at that time my heart was just pounding and a little too much after she left, my eyes was searching her but after sometime when I didn't see her I went to kitchen, drink some water then went to sleep thinking that it might be a dream, giving myself a false assurance though what I truly desire is to watch that flower, to praise its beauty from a little close.

The next day went like always, I forgot about last night too or should I say that I considered all that either my imagination or a dream, then it was the day when a transfer student were to come in our class. "Now Kiddo's here she is Ms. Sakura Izuya" Ms. Fujitoshi said, "wait just, did she say Izuya" I reacted shockingly though said it in a low voice that no one heard me. The girl entered in our room introducing herself "Hi, my name is Sakura Izuya, I just recently moved in here, I am looking forward to study with you all", "Damn she beautiful" some kids starts to mumble that, "damn I was thinking that it would be a sick dude, someone who was just sick and that's why joined school late but she's just gorgeous nothing I imagined" Sekke said, some girls were jealous of her too," woh, I never see some one like her, she really is cute, isn't she Izumi ?" Ichinose said, I didn't heard anything, any word that Ichinose or someone else spoke, at that moment it was like there was no one in the classroom, I can neither feel my body nor anyone else in the classroom the only thing I was able to see was her, the only thing I was able to feel was her presence, to see her face and her silver hair that's all I wanted. Watching her face I remembered last night, I felt my time just stopped, when she saw me, she looks like a little uncomfortable to me. I started thinking now that up until now I don't remember what kind of high school life I was living and I don't want to know that either, what I want to know is what this last semester of my high school life holds for me, "I wonder" I said. The wish I had last night was granted I saw that rare flower that only bloomed once a year and watching it in front of me makes me wonder about the feeling that I have right now.
