Memoria. | Kozume Kenma

E P I L O G U E

Another year, huh. I stare at the ceiling and wonder about the game I just stopped playing minutes ago. I cleared two stages then that was about it. I've been playing the game for weeks and I cleared it just like that, kind of boring I would say. To think that I was excited about it.

I sit up and mess my hair, walking to my desk to find my reflection on the mirror. Why do I even have a mirror here? I don't style myself so having a mirror is beyond my comprehension. Maybe this belongs to mom, but why and how did this stupid thing end up on my desk?

After everything to get ready for school, I headed out and immediately met Kuroo. He has a girlfriend and it's annoying to be around her. She's just gross. I don't want to have a girlfriend ever, kissing-- that let alone is very gross. Who the hell enjoys that?

I got to school but I had to leave my bag in the classroom to leave for a quick meeting. When I got back, I saw Maki on my seat. I don't really care about her taking my seat but I want to sit. "Maki.." The three of them turned to me. "I kinda sit there.. My bag.."

Maki smiled apologetically and I gave her a small one, I don't want to be called rude. Her... she's my seat mate? Everything feels weird whenever she's around. She gave me a smile, she really seems familiar to me. Oh wait... middle school. I bumped into her when she was rushing for school. She looks.. what do I care?

I played on my PSP as I waited for classes to start. I felt her nudging on my arm, I'm playing here. "What?" I ask, seeing her turn her head away. What the hell? I turn to my front and found the teacher right before me. Shit.

"Kozume Kenma. Come to the office right after this class." Really? On the first day?

I glance at her, she's still avoiding eye contact. I should've listened to her. If I didn't ignore her nudging then I wouldn't have to be sent over to the office, I hate going there. Teachers would try to make me do things and I just want to play my games.

I should thank her, what should I do? Wait, should I even thank her? She's avoiding me right now. I head back to class after going to the office, seeing her looking at me. She looked away and when she averted her eyes to me again, she stepped back and hit her head on the window frame.

She winced in pain, is she alright? I'm starting to worry-- I don't worry over other people, but she really just tried to helped and I ignored her. She was trying to help but I completely ignored her and she almost got sent to the office too. I really should've paid attention to my surroundings.

Class is going on. I'm plainly listening to the teacher discussed something. I suddenly felt shaking, I turn to her and found her trembling. She's holding on to her wrist, is everything alright? I tried to help but she keeps telling me not to tell anyone.

She fell over to her desk which actually is starting to scare me, her fall made a loud thud and caught the teacher's attention. I held her upright but she wasn't able to, her head fall on my shoulder and she's trying to make herself comfortable.

"B-Bring her to the infirmary.. anyone.." Maki's shaking too, best friends.

"I'll bring her." I carried her and she's surprisingly light, is she even eating anything?

Due to the teacher's decision, I was the only one allowed to stay for the meantime. I'm watching over her because Maki wasn't given permission by the school nurse. I just stare at her, asking myself why the hell I bothered myself to volunteer and bring her here?

"K-Kenm..a.." She's asleep but she's saying my name. "I-It's..... he..a.." She's crying. What in the world is she seeing right now? She started shaking so I had to do something. I took her hand but it wasn't enough, even with me caressing it, it's not working.
