The class just finished, and we packed our things up as we left. As a straight-honored student in this class, I'm always the last to go home because I always look over and review my notes from every class we took.
I only go home by myself, and that's kind of boring. I'm not a nerd, it's just that I find it unnecessary to socialize with my classmates since I can handle all my struggles alone.
I came back home and was greeted by my mom. "You look pale. You shouldn't be hard on yourself and start making friends, I know that it's hard because we just moved to this city and your Dad just died."
That's right, my dad, Hiroshi Miyamura, was killed by an unknown murderer. I barely watched the news, so I can only know how he was killed but have no information about the killer. I stumbled upon one of his notes that he was writing when I was a kid. It's a diary of his life, and it has 2,556 pages. I was baffled by how long it was, but I read some pages of it. The first chapter is about how he embarrassed he was as he is writing this diary and it was followed by his daily routine from his highschool. He also stated some of his problems when he was in a work because he was a working student before. I found it odd when I reached page 101.
He always talk about his pen that he's holding everytime he wrote events on his diary, I want to read the rest of his diary but my mom is calling me to go out of my room and have a dinner. "Sho the soup is getting called come down here and have a dinner." "Coming."
After i finished my dinner i came back into my room and supposed to read his diary but the rest of the pages is empty. When i was opening it earlier I'm certain that it was full of text but now i only see one multi pen with just black and white in it.
A sudden huge explosion was heard throughout the city, the mirror of my window just suddenly break and just to see our town in a devastated scenery.
"Sho, where are you? Are you okay?" my mom is in downstairs panicking. "I'm fine but-"
"Sho, just listen to me right now, there's something going on with this city people are disappearing and no one knows why even before this explosion happens, the people are disappearing."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Am i dreaming?"
"Grab your bag and let's go out in this city before something terrible happens to us."
"Okay--"
I'm scared and terrified with what's going on. I put some things in my bag. As we about to leave, I grab the book and the pen and put it in my bag. "Sho, what is that? Is that a your dad book? How did you find that? I remember this is the book like his diary when we were just in a simple relationship but first let's go out here first."
My mom has a car in the garage and as we rode away from the city, I can't seem to see a single soul in this city.
"Why there are no people, are they already evacuated? But that would take a long time since the explosion just occur a moment ago."
"I've said this to you earlier right that people are disappearing before it was even the explosion happens. I know this because I'm in the outside of our house when before explosion happens."
"I was about to visit our neighborhood, Mei-chan but I can't seem to find any people there."
The road is filled with smoke but there was no people. It's like its suddenly becomes a ghost city. As we drove our way out to the city, we heard something coming out in a forest.
It was a large foot, hairy, and it's on fire.
Me and my mom died right before in my eyes with the foot trampled us.
So this is like to be dead, I didn't even got to say goodbye to my mom and thanking for everything she do for me. My head hurts like something is hitting my head with a fold paper something like my teacher would do in the class this one time when I couldn't help but sleep because I'm tired of that day. But when it's starting to hurt intensely, I find myself in a classroom filled with 5th grade students and my teacher who looks like a karen on a TV.
"How long are you planning to sleep like a log, ha? This is school where you learn kid and you should go home if you're lazy to listen on my class."
I just remember, this is my elementary days and how is this possible. At first it seems like a science fiction is happening to me which I think it is but the most I'm concerned now is how the hell is this happening.
The class just ended.
"Okay class, tomorrow we are going into a trip so make sure you tell your parents for consent."
"Hey, are you okay? Ehmmm... Sho-kun are you going into the trip?"
This is Sho-chan my friend in this time. She always hangout with her friends and we also go home the same way so sometimes we walk in our home together and we sometimes play with each other sometimes. I always show my inventions at her because I don't have any friends except her.
"I'm fine, hehe. I don't think I can go in our class trip, there's something I want to do first at home."
"Can i tag along?"
"No no no. Uhm what about the trip? Aren't you going?"
"It's boring anyway, I'd rather do something fun with you and I think you're making something again, right?"
Is this girl for real? She's supposed to have more fun with the trip. How come she's thinking about me making inventions again. Hays, that's why i hate kids. Which is myself would be considered a kid right now but it doesn't matter since my mind thinks like a teenager but still a kid.
"I'm not really up to something, it's just that my dog died and step on a bee."
"Then can i go to your house tomorrow? I'll bring toys and snacks."
If I say I want to think about how did I travel back on this kiddy life, would she believe me? I think not because kids can't comprehend with what's going on with me.
"Just go with the class trip and don't bother me. I'll go home."
I immediately grab my bag and was about to go home but Sho-chan suddenly grab my wrist and ask me.
"Do you hate me?" *sobs*
What's with this situation, it's from time travelling crap and now this girl. Now that I looked her straight in the face, i just notice that--
"You're really cute."
Well it's not like I can say that into her face with a straight face. Hmm.. she let go her hands and just facing backwards from me.
"Well, i gotta go. Just enjoy the trip for now, i promise I'll give you something in return. Take care."
Basically I'm now free.
