Too Shy

     Hero opens the door the detention room and was greeted by a grown man watching a student finish a test. It was not long before the grown man looks at Hero and greats him, “Ara Ara, we have another joining us for detention~?” The student slammed his head into his hands faster than light, “God damn it, I hate this shit.” Hero slowly shuts the door and decides to find a way to leave this place.

     With no hesitation, Hero keeps walking down the hall way to find an exit anywhere. He gets to the end of the hall and see he is at a cross road. One way to light, the other way is back and where he goes is towards the sign that is lit up as an exit. Hero bolts it towards the exit and slams into the door. The alarm goes off and Hero is already climbing the fence towards the other side. When security arrived, Hero has already made it over the fence and into the forest.

     He keeps running into the forest, jumping over logs and stumbling over vines and tree branches. The guards are not far behind him. They are about 3 feet away from him before Hero trips over a vine and falls flat onto his face. Slowly, Hero loses consciousness.

     The slow sound of Jazz and the setting sun’s last red kiss goodbye filled up the room with calm, warm, loving spirit. The smell of Jack steering a pot of soup wakes Hero up from his sleep. “Good evening sleepyhead,” Jack says while standing over Hero in Jack’s bed in an apron. “Serra, turn off the music and set the mood for dinner,” Jack commanded the room to do. “As you wish Master,” Serra spoke while following her orders.

     Jack grabs two bowls and put it on the table next to the hot plate and pours the soup into the bowls and then hands one to Hero who has now gotten up and is holding his head. “I am good,” Hero says while pushing away the bowl of soup. “Don’t be such a prune, I made it specially for you,” Jack looked at Hero with a face of broken emotions.

     A pause happens while Hero and Jack look at each other. Hero looks at were the voice was coming from and asked, “Serra, it reminds me of something, but I don’t remember. Actually, I don’t remember any of this. Jack, if you want to help me, can you explain what is this place and the rules that I’ve heard about?” At this realization, Jack looked less saddened and looked at hero, “You don’t remember us?” Jack gets a little quiet and spoke up again, “You don’t remember when we held hands?” Hero’s face cringed and looked at Jack, “We held hands? What do you mean, I just met you and you are already trying to make some love story up. I don’t swing that way man. I don’t know about you but we never had a love relationship.” At that moment, Hero got up and left the room.
