I was standing in my room. It was hot here, the window was shut and curtains closed. I was wearing tracksuit. What in the world am I thinking, wearing such heavy clothes in this heat.
I quickly changed and went for a bath, then went to sleep.
The summer break is going to be over soon, I have nothing good to do. Sleeping all day seems to be the only option.

I went for an evening stroll, the sky was cloudy. It may rain tonight, I better not be staying out for long.
As I was sitting on a bench in park, a ball came rolling to me. There were few little kids chasing it. As I picked up the ball to return it, one kid made a kind of motion with his hand to make me stop from touching the ball. They then came up and took the ball themselves.
The place was a lively as always. I got little carried away; it felt like I saw this place after a year. The summer sure messes with your head.
When I returned, my mother had already prepared snacks. The food felt too good, like I haven't eaten something for a month.
The days here are going on and on, the last day of summer vacation is here.

The new term started with no new issues. The only thing was that I still had no friend to talk to at this time. The main reason for that is my tendency to stay clear from crowds. I always go to roof of the building at break time.
Even if I am alone, I never felt alone, until now. Why did it feel like I had forgotten someone?
As I was looking at the sky blankly, I saw clouds at a distance. Guess it will rain again. As the summer comes to an end, the clouds take over the sky.
Life seems normal, yet weird. I don't know what really happened and how I got that tracksuit. I have been using it on regular basis; it has distinct color, no company logo, no label, and seems pretty new. The outer material seems synthetic but inner side is soft like cotton.

The autumn is coming to an end soon; the trees have already started to lose all their leaves, air is getting drier, it rains regularly here. The teachers have allowed me to skip several classes, only if I turn in my work on time. This gave me a lot of time by myself.
Both of my parents go to work, and I live here by myself all day. This is kind of life I had always dream of having, but I feel like I have experienced it before. This feeling of forgetting is messing with my head. Guess I will have to see doctor soon.
***
The doctor i asked for advice told me that it was all normal, this happens when people overwork their brain. He also told me that I may have felt exhausted, and suggested me to look around my house. I may find something that I have forgotten about.
So here I am looking around my house for about an hour and half. I did find some old photos and some toys; this made my mind feel lighter.
"The doctor's advice is much better than the school nurse's." I started mumbling to myself. "When I told her that time went behind several minutes, she just called me a liar. Couldn't she just believe that what I said was true?" this is when I remembered.
Every memory of The Void came back, as clear as it can be. I then looked for the band. The band was put on us as a tracking device. I knew where the uniform was, but was still not able to find the band.
Before I could find it, I had to clean my room. Maybe I will thank the Doc after a few days. Cleaning took all the time I had left, so I had to skip lunch. Right now, I am eating lunch's worth of snacks before my parents arrive.
