Chapter 1 - The boy

"Ahh," she gasped.

She was just walking back from school like every other day when she had accidentally bumped into someone she looked up to see who it was.

"Ah, I am so sorry," she said as she looked up to see a strange guy with long wavy dark hair and a pretty face. He was wearing a long white robe with pretty pink flowers on it.

The stranger just stared at her with...Confusion? Or anger?

She couldn't tell. He looked at her with a look that felt like It went right through her, but said nothing.

"Um, well, I'll be on my way sorry for bumping into you sir," she said as she tried to escape the awkward silence. She thought she had gotten away when something tugged at her shirt she spun around in shock to see the long-haired stranger tugging at her shirt.

"Um, excuse me, sir?" She asked, confused and a little shocked.

"P..P..Please don't leave...Don't leave m..M...me please."The stranger shuddered and started...Crying? At this point he was on his knees begging the girl.

"W..W..What do you want sir? Please stop crying."She said as her hand hesitated over his head she was going to pat him on the head but she came to her senses and stopped wait, she thought you don't even know this guy. She was going to turn and leave, but she stopped and was considering TAKING HIM HOME?!?!? WHY AM I EVEN THINKING THIS WHY AM I PITYING THIS BOY?!?!?

"It's not like I can leave anyways," she mumbled as she realized he was still clinging to her shirt, her mumbling made the boy look up.

She gasp slightly at the eyes that were staring into hers, they were a beautiful amber color with a little blue and green in them, woah she thought, then she examined the rest of him, his eyes were all puffy from crying and his whole body was trembling, how could I not pity this guy? Oh gosh, what am I about to do, she thought as she blurted out

"ok fine come with me" WHAT why did I say that "ugh" she groaned quietly enough that the boy couldn't hear her (hopefully) she looked back down at him to see a very shocked face he was so shocked that he had loosened his grip on her shirt she seized this opportunity to walk off slowly. After she neared a corner, she turned her head to she the guy following her from a distance is her trying to...Hide?

"I can see you," she shouted at him, which made him cower in fear,

"ugh" she groaned as she started walking toward him as she neared him. She could tell that he was shaking uncontrollably,

"come on," she said, as she now hovered over him and stretched out her hand offering it to him as she did so he flinched. Hmm she thought has he been abused? There were no bruises or scars that she could see She came back to reality and saw he was trying to get up..Without her? She held her hand closer but he jumped back almost falling back to the ground so he doesn't want me to touch him ok, she thought as she backed off indicating she understood the boy seemed relieved.

"Come on now," she said, with a smile as she started to walk off, she checked every few seconds to make sure he was still behind her at this point he had given up on hiding and was just walking head down fiddling with his hands.

"Here it is" she sighed as she looked up at her small house.

"Come on in," she said to him as she held open the door he looked very hesitant but thankfully went in as she went into she realized he wasn't wearing shoes. Huh she thought as she took her shoes off he was now just standing awkwardly in the middle of her living room. "Here come sit," she pointed to one of the chairs at the table he obeyed her and sat.

"Coffee?" She asked when she got no reply, she looked over her shoulder, the strange boy was sitting at the table head down, still fiddling with his hands alright fine then she thought, but still ended up making him some.

She sighed as she put the cup of coffee on the table in front of him and sat down across from him with her cup.

"So what's your name?" No response.

"Your age?" Still nothing.

Hmph, whatever.

"Why were you crying earlier?"

He flinched.

She started losing her patience.

"Fine, if you don't talk, I'm gonna kick you out."

He looked up.

Ha got ya!!

"You" he mumbled.

"I beg your pardon?" She asked, confused.

"Only you can save me from this wretched time loop" he started to cry again.

What?!?!?
