The school bell rang, signaling the start of the classes.
Sato sat down at the left end of the class looking outside the window, he paid no attention to what the teacher was saying and didn't even know when the teacher left.
He's a high school student with black hair and black pearly eyes.
He had always been the type to keep to himself, the only friend he had throughout high school was a girl named Komiko Takizawa, she was pretty popular with the students which made it difficult for Sato to hang with her.
"Sato!".
A feminine voice called out to him, He turned to check and saw Komiko heading toward his location, 'What does she want?' He thought to himself.
"Sato, guess what."
Komiko uttered excitedly, she is a fair-looking lady with brown hair in a white and blue uniform. she pulled out a chair and moved closer to Sato before sitting down.
"I'm not good at guessing." He replied, looking at her with a plain expression.
Sato had his hand resting underneath his jaw as he stared at Komiko.
"Come on, you could at least try." Komiko pouted.
Sato sighed, "Let's see…" He hummed, thinking of the response he should give.
While in thought, he stylishly used his eyes to scan the classroom and noticed that the whole class was giving him death stares.
"You got into the occult research club?" Sato guessed, he ignored the stares and changed his focus back to Komiko.
She gave an unimpressed look as she uttered, "You suck at guessing… fine I'll tell you." She smiled.
Komiko placed her hands on her waist, "You are now looking at the new vice president of the newspaper club." She said with a smug look.
"Wow, hurray." Sato voiced out sarcastically.
"You can at least pretend to be happy, you jerk!" She yelled before someone suddenly called her.
"Komiko, quickly come here." A girl called out, she was sitting in the midst of some boys who had their eyes fixed on Sato.
"Alright coming!" Komiko replied, she stomped Sato's feet before blowing a raspberry, "Meanie!" She ran off.
Sato groaned, holding his foot as he wiggled on his chair, "Damn you!" He shouted.
It was finally the end of school time and Sato couldn't be any happier even if he tried, he walked over to his locker and noticed his shoes weren't there.
"Did I not bring it in?" Sato thought out loud, he dropped his bag on the floor and began to search his locker.
While searching his locker for them, he noticed a letter at the back of his books. He opened it up and read the message that was inside before giving a sigh.
. . . .. . . .
"I'm guessing you left the letter in my locker." Sato uttered, raising the letter to the sky.
He was standing opposite the student, they were both at the back of the school building, looking around Sato could tell that someone was behind the car.
"I'm glad you came, I was starting to think you were going to bail on me." The boy said, grinning with his hands pocketed.
"I see, well the letter said, meet me at the back of the school and come alone, I want to discuss something with you, your pal... Monobe." Sato read out before sending a poker look at the boy.
"I mean, I hardly know you and I get wanting to discuss, but why tell me to come alone if you were just going to bring some friends?".
Sato raised a question, using his right eye to look at the packed cars.
'I knew people were there, what the hell is he playing at?' Sato thought to himself.
Monobe sighed," Come out boys, looks like he figured it out,".
About six male students came out and each one was holding a weapon. Sato showed no sign of fear as he just stood there watching them.
"Don't take it personally Sato darling, but this has to be done, you need to learn your place." Monobe yelled.
They all dashed towards Sato, who immediately kicked the sand on the ground straight into the eyes of the students.
He took to his heels and ran away from the scene at full speed while jumping over fences and cars along the way.
He made it to the road that lead to his dorm and began heading straight there before stopping on his way to get a breather.
"This is the third time this week, it's getting really exhausting." Sato murmured, panting while resting his back on the fence.
Once he had gotten his composure, he started walking to his dorm. The heat of the sun was starting to weigh on him and his clothes were drenched in his sweat.
His dorm wasn't too far from his school, but even still the hated going outside, the sun being his number one reason.
On the way to his dorm, Sato met a suspicious-looking lady standing in front of the dormitory.
She wore an alluring white sundress and had a brown hat on her head. She stood in front of the hotel as the wind blew past her hair and dress.
From the look of it, Sato could tell that she wasn't from around there, her beauty in itself was something Sato couldn't ignore.
"Hello, are you looking for someone?" Sato asked, holding his bag tightly while he looked at her.
She didn't utter anything, instead, she slowly raised her head which revealed her face that the hat was covering.
Sato's eyes went into shock as soon as he saw her face, she was very pretty that even Sato couldn't stop looking at her.
He averted his eyes before thinking to himself, "No no no, don't be fooled... she's still a girl." He then sighed and sent a straight face back at the girl.
Before he knew it, the girl who was just staring at him, began to tear up suddenly with her hat blowing away from her head to reveal her beautiful silky black hair.
"Wow wow, don't cry." Sato tried to calm her down, 'Did I do something wrong, people will definitely get the wrong idea here." Sato thought to himself while looking around to make sure nobody was watching.
He reached inside his bag and brought out a red handkerchief before handing it to her, "Here.. use it to wipe your tears." Sato muttered.
"Many thanks, young master." The woman uttered, taking the handkerchief from him and cleaning her eyes.
'Many thanks? Who says that?' Sato thought to himself, 'I should leave.' He turned his back and walked away.
He entered his apartment and closed the door behind him, heading straight to the fridge to get some cold water.
"Today… What am I saying? I'll never see a day that's not weird, it's like I'm cursed or something." Sato uttered.
The school offered every student their own apartment, meaning Sato lived in a way that kind of fitted his lifestyle.
He headed over to the living room and sat down on the chair to watch some television. He didn't even bother to change out of his uniform.
He kept changing the channel to see if there were any good channels to watch but none piqued his interest, so he ended up tossing the remote to the side.
"I'm so bored." Sato groaned, standing on his feet, he walked over to the balcony to get some fresh hair.
That was when he spotted the woman, looking down he could see the woman was still standing there.
"The hell? She might be really lost," Sato exclaimed, the woman suddenly looked up and their eyes met.
With the glow of the woman's eyes the whole apartment blew up almost instantly, Sato didn't even have enough time to react.
The rest of the dormitory was fine, but only Sato's room was completely burnt with nothing to pick from it.

. . . . . .
A bright light suddenly shone on Sato's eyes and before he could tell what was going on he found himself in the middle of a foggy forest.
He was laying on the floor when he slowly stood to his feet with his hand on his head from the intense dizziness he was feeling.
"What... what the hell happened?" He groaned, "I was in the apartment when..." His eyes widened when he managed to remember the explosion.
He immediately began looking around to have a look at where he was, the forest was filled with fog which made it hard for him to tell somethings.
"I see... so I did die, I'd be stupid if I thought I could survive something like that." Sato thought out loud, he sighed, and then the image of his apartment blowing up appeared in his mind again.
He fell to his knees with his face riddled with shock as he looked at the ground, "I totally died! so this must be some kind of afterlife!" He thought to himself.
A loud shriek suddenly echoed from the left side of the forest and all the crows in the trees began to fly again.
Sato turned back to check what the sound was about, only to see a dark figure emerge from the mist.
Its green bright eyes were the only thing Sato could see clearly but he wasn't hoping to stick around and find out.
