Kenichi:- ...
I don't even know why am I running.
And what am I running from?
Kenichi:- .... can't ..... (huff) ....keep up.....
Kenichi:- !!!
I can't move, something is stopping me.
A little girl came in front of him.
Kenichi:- ?
Before he could think of something, the girl told him in a cold tone.
???:- D o y o u w a n t t o k i l l y o u r f r i e n d s ?
Kenichi:- ..!?
Kenichi:- Huh?, Was that just a dream?
Kenichi found himself half asleep on the bed.
Kenichi:- Right on time, I should get ready.
Ever since I became friends with Ayame, I am having a strange dream of an empty void.
I thought it was just a dream, but it felt way too real. And today, I met a girl who wants me to kill my friends.
Also, I am getting headaches for some time. It must be due to stress.
Ayame:- Hello Kenichi. You look like you're going to collapse at any moment.
Kenichi:- Yes. another nightmare.
Ayame:- Again? it's been 5 times a week. Are you sure you don't want to visit a doctor?
Kenichi:- I am fine, thanks for asking though.
Ayame:- Ah, looks like the teacher is coming. We will chat in recess.
In Recess
Kenichi:- .....

Nancy:- Hola.
This is Nancy. She recently got transferred to this school.
and my other friend.
Nancy:- You look tired, did something happen?
Kenichi:- Nothing, it must be stress.
Nancy:- You should go to the infirmary before it gets worse.
Kenichi:- I told you it's fine. A sleep or two will keep my body healthy.
Nancy:- If you need any help, call me. Your health is your priority.
Kenichi:- I will.
Nancy:- As you know, I am free today. Can we hang ou-
Out of nowhere, Ayame joins in.
Ayame:- I won't let you.
Kenichi:- D-Don't scare me like that.
Nancy:- Hola, Ayame.
Ayame:- Hello.
Nancy:- You could join us, we never stopped you. But at least no surprises.
Ayame:- Sorry, bad habit of mine. I sometimes scare people with my unexpected presence.
Nancy:- Last time, when did you scare other people?
Ayame:- Hmm, when I saw you reading manga in toilet yeste-
Nancy:- NOT IN FRONT OF KENICHI!!!
Kenichi:- What manga were you reading?
Nancy:- U-Ummm, I-It's n-nothin-

Nancy shuts Ayame's mouth with her hand.
Nancy:- I-I told you, it-it's nothing.
After class

Ayame joins in, yet again.
Ayame:- I won't let you.
Kenichi:- Is that supposed to be Deja Vu?
Ayame:- Sorry, but Kenichi and I were supposed to be studying right now.
Kenichi:- Don't worry about it, I will manage the tim-
Ayame:- We already got late, let's go.
Ayame grabs his hand and drags him along with her.
Ayame:- See you tomorrow, Nancy.
Nancy:- Bye.
Both of them left.
Nancy:- ...
Ayame:- Are you feeling ok, say something.
Kenichi:- Y-Your h-hand...
Ayame:- ...!
She lets go of his hand.
Ayame:- sorry.
Kenichi:- What are you hiding?
Ayame burst out laughing.
Ayame:- You dummy, she's in love with you.
Kenichi:- Then why did you bring me here?
Ayame:- Because of today's 31st March.
Kenichi:- So?
Ayame:- Tomorrow's 1st April, April Fools Day.
Kenichi:- There's no way I am not going to prank her.
Ayame:- Silly, you don't have to prank her. You just have to propose to her.
Kenichi:- W-What?
Ayame:- Isn't it obvious that she likes you and you like her too? Propose each other already, my patience is running out.
Kenichi:- What if she rejects me?
Ayame:- Then tell her that it was a prank. Simple, right?
Kenichi:- No wonder you're a genius in many ways.
Ayame:- Right. Wait, what's that supposed to mean?
Kenichi:- So, where should I propose to her?
Ayame:- Hmmmm, how about the rooftop?
Kenichi's eyes widen.
Kenichi:- .....
Ayame:- Is something wrong, you were looking like that you just saw a ghost.
Kenichi:- Sorry, I was at a loss for thought. And sure, why not.
Ayame:- ...
Kenichi's Room
I am so tired. The headache won't stop.
I should take a nap and it will be alright.
Kenichi falls into a deep sleep.
In his Dream
Where am I?
At least she isn't here. Finally, the nightmare has ended.
Wait, is that....
He finds himself on a school rooftop.
I thought I was able to surpass my true nightmare.
How long has it been?
Oh wait, it was recent, wasn't it?
Yes, I can hear the raw screams.
Blood grudging from a body.
And seeing the scared face of someone.
Kenichi:- This is where I...
This is where I murdered a student.
The alarm goes off.
Kenichi:- ........ughhhh....
Kenichi:- ...my....head.....
Kenichi:- It...hurts....so....much.....
Kenichi:- What time...is it...
Kenichi:- OH $HIT, I AM LATE.
Kenichi was able to reach School on time.
Kenichi:- huff.....puff.... I made it.. in the last second.
Kenichi:- Now my headache is gone. That's weird.
Kenichi spots Nancy in the hallway.
Kenichi:- Hello Nancy, nice seeing you here.
Kenichi:- Would you mind if we mee-
*slaps*
Kenichi:- ....?
Kenichi saw her in tears.
Nancy:- ....
Nancy ran away.
Kenichi:- I don't get it.
Ayame:- Kenichiiiiiii
Ayame ran towards him
Ayame:- It's no use, she's not talking to me anymore.
Kenichi:- But why, she was fine yesterday. I was supposed to propose to her today.
Ayame:- What are you talking about? It was yesterday. Now today is 2nd April.
Kenichi:- Let me guess, you both are pranking me, aren't you?
Ayame:- I am serious, check your phone.
It was indeed 2nd April.
Kenichi:- But how? I don't remember anything.
Ayame:- Looks like those stress and headaches caused you to lose yesterday's memory.
Kenichi:- Tell me what happened back then.
Ayame:- Well....
Ayame:- You pushed her off the rooftop.
Kenichi:- What?
Did I just
Actually do it
Again?
