PART 1Someone touched my shoulder. “Jurina.. Jurina.. Jurina!”
"Hm?"
"What are you looking at? Let’s go home."
I pointed a girl. “Who is that?”
She’s so white… no, that’s too white, she looks pale. Wow.. such a black hair, too contrast compared to her skin."Ughh.. I told you, Jurina.. please do not sleeping in the class! She is Rena, she just transferred here today."
"So, why she didn’t introduced herself in front of our class?" I still looking at her.
So beautiful, I can’t believe there’s kind of human like that. I smiled.
I feel a book thrown to my head, “Owh!! It’s hurt, Churi!!” I looks back, then I staring Churi.
"I told you to not sleep! She already introduced herself 2 hours ago. Tsk." Churi shook her head.
I rolled my eyeballs. “Are you jealous at me? I always sleep in the class and unfortunately my grades were better than you?” I grinned.
I tidied up my book and then I went out from my class. I glanced the new girl one more time, she still sit there and reading a book.
==========================****==========================
"Mom, I’m home!" I climbed the stairs, and then I laying on my bed. "Ahh… my bed."
Why my friends keep teasing me about my sleep habit? I know that I often sleep in the class, but there’s a reason behind it. I sighed.
*FLASHBACK*"Don’t walk from that street."
"Don’t go to school by your bicycle, tomorrow."
"Keep your eyes open."
"Don’t sleep in a train on next Thursday."
"Stay away from all red light.""No! No!! I don’t want to. Who are you?! Stay away from me!!" I’m breathless, I can’t control my heartbeats, and my voice didn’t come out. "Kyaaaaa….!!!!"
"Matsui!!! Matsui!!! Wake-up!"
I open my eyes, my body sweating too much. “Mom?” I get up and hug my mother.
"Honey.. what’s going on? You startled me. Nightmare?"
"Yes…" I cry.
"Don’t worry.. you’ll be fine. I will sleep with you here."
Bad dreams again. I always hear a strange voice almost every night. Voice and dark. Who is it?
That voice always say some warning that can’t be refused.
One day, I try to not obey one of those words.. but something bad happened. Even if I didn’t do it because I’m forget, that voice will came to my mind in the daylight too.
I need sleep, but If I sleep.. that voice can be heard over and over again.
I’m afraid… I’m scared..*END OF FLASHBACK*I hear it since I was 5, it keep happened for 10 years. I keep lack of sleep back then, I’m afraid of sleep.
Now, I’m 17. It’s been 2 years I never hear that voice, scary voices… I don’t ever wanna know why it’s gone.
I wish that I never hear it again, forever."Jurina!! Come and eat your lunch." My mom called me from the kitchen.
"I’m sleepy, mom. I will eat it later." After few minutes, I fell sleep.
=======================****=======================
“Jurina… Jurina……..”I open my eyes immediately, then I stand up, “Yes sir!!”
They shocked and look at me.
"I didn’t call you, Jurina." My teacher and my classmates laugh at me.
I’m blushing.
Oh, this is embarrassing. I looked back, “Churi, don’t ever wake me up except for important thing!!”
Churi stop laughed, “I didn’t wake you up. You must be dreaming." Then.. they laugh again.
I’m not dreaming! I hear it clearly. Ahh.. someone must be joking with me.I saw everyone laugh, except..
Rena. She smiled without look at me, she still staring her book. I remember that it’s been a month she entered this classroom, but I never talk to her.
Hell yeah.. I’m too busy with my ‘sleeping’.DING DONG!
Finally, lunch time. I Iooked around, everybody taking out their bento.
I forgot my bento. I sighed.
Ah, maybe I can eat Tonkatsu in a small restaurant behind this school.I look at Rena, she didn’t eat anything yet.
So, she forget her bento too. I grinned then I walk to Rena’s desk, “Hi, wanna eat together?”
"No."
What?! “Why?” She still silent, “Urgh.. Fine! Then.. I’m going first.” I turn and walk away.
"Because I don’t like meat."
I stopped.
How can she kn-"Why don’t we just go to convenience store? I wanna eat salad." She smiled.
She smile.. She smile to me!! Sooooo… beautiful, I love it. Why Churi didn’t have a smile like that? Maybe if she has, She didn’t need to put too much effort to wake me up.. because I will stand up immediately when she call me.She chuckled, “Why do you just stand there? Let’s go.. I’m hungry.”
I run toward her. We walk together to a convenience store, not too far. “So.. why you transferred here, Rena? Wait.. what’s you family name? I feel uncomfortable to directly calling your nickname.”
"My name is Rena, just Rena. Did you sleep in a class at that time?"
I scratch my head, “yeahh.. sorry. I always feel sleepy in a class.”
She open her salad, “I know.”
I stop eating my curry rice, “Eh? Are you stalking me?”
She laugh, “Not really. I often see you because you look cute when you’re sleeping”
I’m blushed, but I look away quickly. “Well.. Thanks.”
"Hahahahaha.. Are you just shy?! I can’t believe someone like you can shy."
"Someone like me?" I’m offended.
"Ahhh…. I’m full!! Let’s go back to school. Break time will over soon."
"Don’t worry, I just received a message from Churi. She said Mr. Tanaka can’t teach today because he’s sick."
She shook her head, “He’s on the way.”
"……"
We go back to the school.
"Rena.. you go to the class first. I ‘wanna go to the bathroom."
She look at me, no.. she more look like.. observing me.
"Okay. But you’ll regret if you do it." She walk away.
What’s she thinking? I can’t go to the toilet?! She’s so weird.I go to the toilet. I wanna back to the class, but someone called me. “Matsui-san, let’s play to the music room. You can sing, right?”
Is that mean.. she ask me to skip my class? …… No. I’m forget. Mr. Tanaka still sick. "Right. Let’s go then."
========================****=========================
"Jurina… I’m watching you."I feel someone whispering to me, then I gasped. I open my eyes.
I-I’m afraid.. Why?Why? "Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!! NO! NO NO! That voice come back. WHY??!! No.. That was only my imagination."
I close my eyes and try to sleep again.
"I’m back."I clenched my teeth, “Go away!!”
=======================****======================
"Matsui-san. Why you skip my class last week?"
"I.. I think you you’re still sick, Mr.. Tanaka." I look to the ground.
"Matsui, me and other teachers in this school always concern about you. We let you often sleep in the class because you grades was great. But, it seems you became didn’t respect to us anymore.”
"No sir. That’s not the case."
"Tell your mom to come tomorrow."
"But Sir… I didn’t mean to do it."
"I have a class." He walk away.
I’m so stressful. I enter my class.
"Jurina. What’s Mr. Tanaka said? Sorry, I can’t tell you right away because he suddenly came." Churi and my friends seems worried about me.
"I’m okay, Churi. Thanks for your help."
I wanna go back to my desk, but I look Rena smirked at me. I became so angry and come to her, “What are you looking at?! Do you think it’s funny?” I grabbed her collar, “What are you laughing at?!”
Her smile gone. “I already told you before.”
*FLASHBACK*Rena shook her head, “He’s on the way.”———————-
"Okay. But you’ll regret if you do it." Rena walk away.*END OF FLASHBACK*How… How she know that? Even Churi, a prefect, she didn’t know about that.Suddenly I feel dizzy.
"Jurina.. Let her go!!"I release her collar.
Damn voice! If I meet you, I will kick your butt!! I don’t care who you are.
I calmly back to my desk, and I swear that I saw Rena’s smirked at me again.
===========================****============================
It’s been 2 months since that voice came back. I never sleep in a class, I even lack of sleep! My eyelids and below my eyes became so darker. I even can’t open my eyes widely… I’m a half sleep - half awake.
My friends, teachers, and my mom became so worried about me. Mr. Tanaka even keep asking is this his fault or not. He feels guilty.
I walked home because this morning the voice say so. Last time I ignore it, a bus that I ride.. hit the tree and almost fall in to the cliff. Even if I’m so tired, I keep walking."Jurina!!"
I looked back lazily.
Rena??!!"Hi. Are you okay? You act strange lately."
"Are you stalking me?! Ohh.. do you wanna said that I’m crazy?"
"No. I wanna walk with you." She look to the front.
"Hm?"
"I said.. I wanna walk with you. I wanna walk with you everyday if it needed. I always love your lively, friendly, cool, and lovely side. But lately.. it’s all suddenly gone."
"Rena.. are you sick or something?"
Actually.. I don’t have anything to say. This's too shocking me."I know that you will not tell your problem because I’m not your friend yet. But I will try harder to become your friend until you feel comfortably to tell your problem. Can we be friends?" She look at me.
That… that… that shy, that blushing check, that sad smile.. then.. her tears drops. Now I’m sure that she really care about me.
"Sure, Rena." I smiled, the I hugged her.
Suddenly.. I feel that I’m not alone in this world. Although I can’t tell her about that voice this time, at least… From now on, I can see her beautiful smile. I’m not sure about what I feel, but.. I feel relieved every time I saw her smile."Thanks Jurina. Let’s face it together." She hug me back. "Ehm.. Jurina. You can release your hug now, everybody looking us."
I look around.
Opss… I’m forget that we’re still on the street.======================
