Its making me sick, every minute of it. Every whisper on my mind screams death, every picture I look seems unreal and yet, when I see her its making me...
"Oi, are you all right?"
"H-Huh, Yeah. What's up?"
A friend roused me from the chains of thought I was having. It was the middle of the morning period and yet my mind can't still forget what has happened to me yesterday. Those shreds of paper, those bodies and Liana's alluring prescence. Nothing fits but this eerie peace, althought established is slowly forcing me to take action.
"So yeah, me and Mike are going to check some new netbooks after classes wanna tag along?"
"S-Sure thing."
Looking around for my cellphone, I check my inbox to see if anything would conflict with later, suprisingly enough, there was no text that says so. I waved my hands slowly as my friend goes back to his seat, the atmosphere feels so normal but it gives me the coldest of chills in my spine.
"Ok everyone, settle down, will continue with the lesson."
As the teacher starts to write at the blackboard at a brisk space, I grab my pen from the packet to start writing. Despite the day's lesson being grinded into me, a part of my mind seeks out answer.
"If you seek answers, then break this illusion of yours.."
A voice spoke once again from the depths of my head but this time, it was audible. "What are you saying? That everything that I'm seeing right now is a lie?" A hastily replied through my thoughts but I only got silence. Rubbing my head slightly, I look at the clear skies, somewhere in the corner of my mind, I can see it being colored with the shades of blood.
...
With the sound of the bell signaling the end of classes, I stood up and packed my things to go with Richard and Mike on their window shopping of notebooks. Even with little interest, I felt I needed to disassociate with the Tratti's for a while. I thought Liana should also have her personal space from time to time. How thoughtful of me, I smiled as we passed through the Aeviternior floors, I saw a glimpse of Liana, meeting with the other Tratti. I tried to give a small wave at her but she noticed me first and proceeded to give a warm smile and a flying kiss.
"Wooh, you sure are lucky having a Tratti girlfriend!" Richard exclaimed as she noticed the gestures I was making towards the Student Council room. "Yeah, it felt like it was just yesterday when he was telling us he was gonna confess to her, haha still brings me tears bro."
"Wait a minute. I didn't confess to Liana, Liana was the first one to approached me!" Is what I've said but I kept it to myself. Something was messing with my memories and things like this will only make it worse. I chose to ignore it and went on to open a new topic for the 3 of us to talk about. Passing through familiar streets and scenery, I tried to give myself some form of assurance.
"Liana was my girlfriend and I'm having the time of my life right now, stop sweating out the details..."
"Really?"
The voice suddenly said once more. Before I noticed it, Richard and Mike were gone and I was in a place I didn't know. Surrounded by buildings and nothingness, I tried to look for the exit but not even a ray of light to guide me was to be found. Soft screams and whispers start to flood my head once more and the feeling of uneasiness surged through me again.
"W-What's going on?! Please stop this! I just wanna live my life!!"
I tried screaming but it only provoked the voices inside my head to grow louder. I grasped my head in pain and confusion, Out of all of this, I murmur some words, maybe it would give me peace, no matter what kind, I'll accept it...
"You will?"
"Peace?"
"Accept it?"
Different voices asked me through my head, I can only nod through the confusion. Suddenly, I notice two shadows on my feet. Looking up, I see familiar faces, the one that I thought I will never remember, with a faint smile, I tried to stand up, I can't really see their face clearly but only a rough sketch of a smile that was in tears...
"You've done well..."
"Now rest..."
I closed my eyes and surrendered my resolve to those 2 people that was facing me. As darkness took over my sight, I slowly find out the truth that was kept from me, remembering the moments that I thought lost, remember the same words my dad told me, I uttered them to finish it all.
"Suffering will end, let the rocks be dissolved into leaves..."
With the feeling of falling embracing my body, I hear a faint sound of shattering rocks, giving a small smile, if I can still give a smile. I utter a small thank you to the 2 people who was with me at the very end of it all..
"Thank you..Senna..Solace.."
...
The President witnessed all of this and was furious, pointing at Liana, she threw the slab of stone she was holding, as it shattered into many pieces, the passionate princess only gave a big smile as a response. "So, it was a bit too much for him so what? At least he got the privilege of having me as a girlfriend..."
"That is what is wrong here!" Solace slammed her fist through the table. "Your arrogance treated him like a toy when he went there, He was my friend Liana! My friend!" . "That's what's wrong with you, Ceraphine, you grow attached to them to easily, your weak will has clouded your mind!" Yumina shouted back.
"Enough of this!" Beatrice exclaimed to the 2. "What's done is done but still, I do not like your methods Liana, we are supposed to be the Cielo Tratti after all.."
Amidst all of the commotion Senna can be seen sitting from a distance holding a piece of stone. Closing her eyes, she uttered a silent prayer and a wish.
"I hope you do find rest..."
"Well then." The president snapped. "Meeting is adjourned and the final results are clear." Looking at 8 out of 9 people before her, she flicked her hands and at that moment, the blackboard and the tablets the others were holding vanished. "Let us prevent this from ever happening again..."
