Airi:
There was nothing much you could do in school. Jerre was ill and was therefore home.
I was dead bored in classes.
What I’m I going to do when it’s lunch break? I asked myself, suddenly occupied with something to think about instead of listening to uninteresting things.
I could still go to Jerre’s classroom. I mean his friends would be there. However, it would be an awkward moment, which I’d have to break free.
But that was my plan for now, going there.
Minutes felt like hours when I had to listen to the teacher opening and closing his mouth all the time. Classes went by and finally it was lunch break.
While packing the books in my bag, Pedro came to stand beside me.
“Hey there” He said.
I looked at him and then back at my bag, “Hi” I replied.
“Where’s Jerre?” Pedro asked.
“He’s sick, he got a fever…I think”
“Oh…so will we be going to his classroom, I mean Yura is there”
What does he mean with “we”? I thought, ah never mind leave it. I shook my head.
“I guess so,” I said, smiling to him.
By that time, I was done packing my bag. We were on our way to his classroom.
“You know that we will be swimming,” He said.
I looked at him shocked, “Swimming?” I asked, confused.
“Yes, in cold water” He said, sounding like he loved it.
However, I on the other hand, like yesterday. I was always asking Irma if it was cold water and she would say it was normal temperature. Well, let’s say that cold water and I doesn’t go good together. I remember once, this young boy that I used to be with a lot. He threw cold water all over me, I got red rashes all over my body, and my hair would turn lighter, almost near the tone blond. I don’t know why it was like that, but I could remember Kaname whom ran towards me with shock and pain all over his face, he started cursing towards that young boy whom also didn’t know any better than Kaname himself.
I wanted to test myself again, if it were something I should stay away. But Kaname whom got scared from the beginning didn’t want me to do it again.
Reality hit me, when Pedro shook my shoulders.
“Hey there, stop dreaming and come back to me” He kept on chanting repeatedly.
“I’m back,” I said with a grin.
“Finally” He replied with a relief sigh.
He opened the door to Jerre’s classroom. And we stepped inside. All his friends were sitting like little puppies waiting for there food. I gave them both my and Jerre’s lunch boxes and they were fighting like crazy people.
Seemed to me that they had already forgotten about that incident.
The bell rang and everyone took they’re gym cloths with them down to the lake. I went to the other way, to the gym teacher. She already stood in place when I got to her.
“What’s up Airi, why aren’t you changing?” She asked.
I went to stand beside her, “Well there’s a problem…” I began. I looked at her for a moment, and she nodded.
“If it’s cold water than I can’t join, there’s been a very bad incident before and my brother doesn’t want me to repeat that,” I said.
She looked at me for a while, thinking that I might have been lying.
“Usually, I don’t buy this stuff” She said, looking out at the lake and giving a serious look.
I could feel myself be tense,
What? I repeated again.
Then she looked at me, “But I don’t think your lying, so I’ll let you be” She said.
I could feel myself relieved. She patted at me back, and jumped at that ‘cause it felt like I was gonna fly up to China. She seemed to notice that and laughed.
“You weaklings” she muttered, “I want you to help out when everyone has gone,” She said.
I looked at her, giving a “whaaaaaaaaat?” look. She understood it and gave me a way too serious look. I sighed,
“Yes ma’am” I said.
By the time everyone was done swimming, I started walking near the pool. I got a long stick with a net one. My job was to pick all the dirt from the water. I even got gloves from the teacher, if I would have gotten any water up on my hand.
It was hard reaching the dirty stuff but everything went pretty well. The dirty usually flowed, instead of going deep down in the water. Therefore, that was good.
I could hear someone “coughing”, wanting my attention. I looked at the side and found two girls standing there. They looked innocent, but I couldn’t forget what the other girls had said to me before. I had a bad feeling said in my gut. And my gut was right, this time.
“Airi” The one with curly hair said, she looked tanned, she had a lot of makeup on her damned face. Her bleus was half-open, allowing to see half of her bra. Her skirt was too high up, which was allowing to see her buttocks.
“Mira…” The other one said, she seemed confused and scared. It seemed that Mira was the tanned girl’s name.
“Shut up, Koichi” Mira said, stubbornly. Koichi was the girl behind Mira.
“Look her, senpai…” Mira began.
Ah! They’re underlings. I thought, then they shouldn’t be mean, but by the way, how she’s speaking this conversation ought not to turn out so great.
“Who are you to Jerre?” Mira finally came to the point.
Uh-oh, these are the fan girls which the girl was talking about, I thought.
“I’m his friend,” I answered, in a cold tone.
“You better be” Mira began.
“You’ll never be,” I answered right back. I was mad, I don’t know why, but I was pissed off.
I could see Mira’s vein starting to pop out of her forehead. She started to look red. And I could get a glance on Koichi behind, she looked terrified.
“You bitch” Mira said.
“What happened to all the, “Senpai” crap?” I asked.
“Why you –“She shouted, I could see how she ran towards me, and tugged at my bleus.
She was really close to me, and I could feel all anger welling up inside, I just wanted to rip her in parts. I am a monster after all, I thought angrily.
Then all my angriness slipped away. My mouth fell wide open and my eyes were big. She pushed me inside the water.
From the corner of my eye, I could see Koichi run towards Mira, and hold her shoulders while Mira brushed her off and kicked her to the ground.
“You’re no use at all,” She said while walking away.
I could feel my whole body burning into shreds. Digging deeper inside of my flesh until it found my bones. When it did, I could feel my bones starting to rust away.
It felt like my hair was bleaching right inside on my roots, I could feel like thousands of nails pocking inside of my head, waiting to get inside.
My whole body hurt, I was in pain. Kaname was right, I was happy to listen to him from the beginning.
However, I could feel someone taking my black sweater and my shoes off. I could feel arms wrapped around my waist. Finally, I could feel, what I was most yearning for, was a way up instead of down. I was pulled upwards.
When we came out of the water, the coldness rushed to me. However, it wasn’t anything bad; I could feel the cold air taking away all the burning marks on my body.
I heard Koichi’s loud gasp. In meaning, I most look horrible.
I could feel another hand behind me. I looked up and saw Yura beside me. I lay my head against his shoulders. I couldn’t, I didn’t want to move anymore. I just wanted to close my eyes and forget this pain.
Until familiar hands brushed at my face, and down to my lips.
I opened my eyes, but I found nobody. No one was in front of me. I could’ve sworn I smelt and felt his scent. But then again, I must be really shaken to be able to think right.
Yura suddenly picked me up and along with that, Koichi ran by our side.
“I’m so, so, so sorry Airi-senpai!” She kept on saying.
My head hurt the more she kept on yapping. Yura understood that to, well that’s ‘cause of his crappy personality, he also found it annoying.
“Yeah, yeah, I bet she understands now” He said to quiet her down.
“I tried to stop Mira but she didn’t listen,” She said.
Suddenly Yura stopped, then after a few seconds, he started walking again.
“Is there anything we can do for you?” She said with a horrified tone.
“Before…” I began. It hurt to even say a word. It felt like more and more paper cuts, cut through my lip if I even opened it.
“Before,” I started all over again, trying this time. “My brother would always pour hot water on it and then…” Oops, I was about to reveal something that should not even be mentioned.
“And then…?” Koichi wondered.
“Better if you call Kaname instead” I said, as fast as I could. After that, I started to breathe much faster.
“Alright, let’s take her back to U-Huset, I want you to change her cloths and fix her while I get Kaname” He glanced towards Kochi, “Understood?” Koichi nodded.
That’s when everything was probably black for me.
