" There's an opposite to Déjà Vu. They call it Jamais Vu. It's when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar. "
-- Chuck Palahniuk
°°°°°
Mmm...?
Wh-where am I?
Dark? Wh--why is it so-so--o da--dark?
I'm feeling so dizzy! That's not good!
It's too dark!
Airi didn't even have the idea as to where she was even going? No matter how far she went, all she could see was interminable darkness!
( ˘_˘)
Hey, wait!
Wh--what i--is th--tha-at?
Something is glowing. Is that a glow worm?
ಠಿ_ಠ
"Hey--y glow w--worm, wa--wa--it!?
Don't run away, you...!"
Aaaaaahhhhhhh...!
ಠಿヮಠ
What is happening now?
Wasn't it a glow worm, just now?
How come? woa---hhh!
Ummmph!
Ouch!
What in the world was that!
Σ(ಠ_ಠ)
Woah? Its bright!
Um... What is that sound?
Where is it coming from!
Eh? " He--he-ey? watch out! "
Hmm... Huuuhh!
Thank goodness!
Wait! It just went through!?
Tha--at c--art like thing went through Mee!
Am I what invisible or something?
¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
These people can't see me! Um? Are they humans? They don't seem to be though...
-_-|||
Huh? I think there is something wrong with this place!
These people... they don't look like how a normal human would look like?
ಠ ೧ ಠ
But they do look the same as us.
Urgh...
It is just so confusing!
(٥↼_↼)
The surrounding looks different as well.
Wow is that a castle!
◉‿◉
It looks big and ancient? The garden is so big.
The air feels so good. It's fresh and breezy! Is that a cherry blossom tree? Ah no, there are so many of them. So beautiful. So pink!
Wait! Who is that?
⊙.☉
A woman? She looks so elegant and graceful in that traditional dress. She doesn't seem like a local here. But what is she doing here?
Why does she look so familiar?
Whattttttt!
Mother...?
My mommy!
(╬⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾ Д ⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾)
"Mother! Mo--om! Wait!? "
Airi instinctively ran towards her, smiling widely.
What? Where is she going? Where are they taking her?
" Hey! Hey--y wait! Please wait! I want my mom! Please don't take her away! Ple--ease..."
Ó╭╮Ò
*****
Airi jolted up awake with tears streaming down her eyes.
O right!
She was having another one of those occasional nightmares again!
(╯︵╰,)
With tears in her eyes, Airi sat up.
Heaving out a deep sigh she looked around herself.
(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
Where am I?
Hospital?
How can that be? she was just in the library!
Airi massaged her throbbing temples trying to remember when suddenly she recalled the previous events that happened in the morning.
Oh! Those eyes, purple eyes!
She seemed to have fainted after looking into those eyes.
(ー_ー゛)
She clumsily climbed out of the bed. Feeling a little dizzy headed, she grabbed on to the metal bars of the bed. Trying her best to maintain the body balance, she toddled her way towards the door.
Wait! This isn't a hospital.
To be correct, it looks like an infirmary.
Yeah right! I must be in our school's infirmary.
But, how did I get here?
ಠ_ಠ
Airi looked about her holding on to the door for support. She glanced inside to check if anyone was there or not.
No one was. Sigh.
Great! Let's escape.
She left the place thinking about how she got here. Engrossed in thoughts, she didn't seem to notice where she was even going when bumped into something hard.
(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
"Owe! " rubbing her nose, Airi looked up into the pair of same purple eye.
(⊙Д⊙)ᵎᵎ
Just what is going on?
Why do I keep seeing those damn eyes !!!!
o(╥﹏╥)o
Airi couldn't help but feel spooked upon seeing this person frequently! Frequently as because she was seeing him in her dreams, her paintings, even had to encounter him twice!
o(｡•́︿•̀｡)o
Such a thing has never happened before.
Her paintings might have looked real but none of them had appeared before her in it's physical form expect for him! Her heart could not help but tremble, beating at a faster rate than normal.
(๑•﹏•)
How wouldn't any one feel intimidated upon stumbling on to such an event?
(*・～・*)
Would you expect her to be utterly stunned into fascination, getting dragged into some teen rom-coms then later becoming obsessed maniacs found in typical Young Adult novels?
┻━┻︵└(´_｀└)
Airi was Anthropophobic, forever insecure since her childhood and wasn't acquainted to the norms about how to interact socially with others. So, it was particularly difficult for her to have someone invading her private space, hijacking her peace of mind!
With sweaty palms, trembling hands and legs, feeling flustered, Airi wasn't able to think properly and the only thing she could think of was her instinct urging her to flee.
Her subconscious mind reassured her into thinking that if she could run away only then could she be safe!
(~_~;)
With that thought in mind, Airi dashed off. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her.
She avoided the curious stares drawn from the swarm of students strolling through the corridors.
Where should I go? That's the washroom right?. Yes, washroom! She rushed inside, startling whoever was inside.
Ouch! It hurts.
My feet hurts!
(｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
My head just can't stop aching!
Panting hard, Airi hastily splashed some water on her face. She was freaking out which was the conclusion anyone could tell from just watching her incessantly splashing water on her face without a break which had already turned as red as an apple!
I have to calm myself down! Airi forced herself to stop her actions, took in long deep breaths to calm herself down. She stared at herself in the mirror with ridicule, her face lighting up with a self depreciative smile.
It took a while for her to compose herself. She took one last look at her before looking away.
She drank some water as pondered what to do next?
Okay so...
A stalker on tail!
What do I do now?
⊙﹏⊙
Think.
Think of something!
"Okay. Calm down. It's fine.
Everything is fine.
Just go out.
Yes.
Go out.
Act normal.
Act normal!
Act as if nothing's happened. If you come across him again, Ignore. Ignore him. Avoid him! That's it. You can do it! " mumbling to myself Airi wiped her face with a paper towel.
You can do it!
Act normal.
Avoid.
Ignore.
(ง •̀ω•́)ง✧!
Airi got out of the washroom, chanting those words in her mind. She looked up at the schedule 6th hour, Spanish.
She went off to the locker, took out the required book as she made her way to the class anxiously and hurriedly took a seat.
Phew! I'm good.
It was during the middle of the class when she had feeling of being watched.
ミ●﹏☉ミ
Calm down. Act normal. Ignore.
Ignoring it again.
What an easy thing to do!
-_-|||
Airi carried on listening to something she couldn't even focus onto.
(-_-メ)
Just great!
I just wanna go home! Get out of here!
(–︿– ꐦ;)
Will that even be possible?
