How Everthing Start

My Chance


(And this is actual story of how ı met my chance)

(Everthing start a few month ago)

İts my first day of high school... Im so nerveous...

I always be nervous about new experiences but ı have always one supporter with me...

I look at girl who run to me... She fall asleep like she always do... I already use to it so ı don’t care about so much

“Are you even late for you’re first day at a new school?” I talk with her my usual mocking tone

She came up to me panting “Please water... Im begging you” I gave a sigh and give her my own water bottle “Are you okey now”

She almost drink my whole water and “Thank you so much Master Aoki... Now ı can answer you’re question” she stop for a moment and look at me “Eee what was it?” She know she’s guilty so she try to sound like innocent as much as she can

I gave a loud sigh and look at her with annoyence on my face “Are you even late for you’re fist day at a new school?”

She look at me and make her usual smile “Don’t make it look like a big deal... İts our fourth time in new school ı know we can handle it”

I look at her with annoyence on my face, her emptiness always make me annoying ı never can’t understand how she always like this

She’s like she never had problems and never has

Nevermind... I stop trying understand her long time ago

I just keep walking at school with her, we keep talking worthless things...

When we come to our classroom world most beautiful girl enter the room... She just so beautiful... I even can’t describe how beautiful she’s is...

She go to her desk with calm, warming smile on her face... When she look at us... We feel warmness... Calm... I even can’t named this feelings...

I though all boy in class look at her but ı realise ım the only one who notice her beauty 

She go to her desk and leave her purse... Then she come front of chalkboard and keep looking at us with her calm look... She just wait for us be quit... Don’t say or do anything...

Then everyone start notice her... They don’t realise how pretty she is... They just realise she’s the teacher and they start to become quit one by one

When everyone become quit she open her mouth, ı feel so excited... Im about the hear her voice

“Thank you for be quite” 

I can’t believe my ears... Her voice more beautiful, calm and warm even than her look

Then she start to teach us something but ı can’t focused what she said, ı can just focus her face and her voice...

For a moment she walk next over my seat and ı heard her smell...

She just smell like flowers... I can’t say which one but ım sure ı heard this smell before

She keep teaching us something, ım sure no one can listen the lesson because of look at her but everyone look like don’t notice her face and voice

Are they that stupid?

How can they don’t notice this such a beauty?

Then ı realise she’s still my teacher, if ı keep looking at her like that maybe she can feel uncomfortable and maybe ı can put her in trouble

I never wanting this so ı try to hold myself together and start listening her except fot just look at her

İn the end of lesson, she turn to us and make her warm smile

“You know ı have to teach you during class, but in breaks you can treat me just like one of you’re friends”

“Thank you for listening me”

Then she leave classroom

“Maybe ı can like high school” ı think to myself

İn the lunch time i sitting with Eri, we always took bento for school so we usually don’t go to caffetaria but today she want to do something different and we’ree here

We take a seat and start eat our meal, we don’t anything to talk so we just want to finish our food and leave

But when we leave someone come next to us

I can say he’s from up grades, and he’s very  well-built so ı can say he do sport so often but ı can’t say same thing for his brain

He come closer to us or more like he sit and become very close to Eri, ı can see she’s very uncomfortable but don’t say anything

I know ı have to do something but ı never be good at talking to people or be protactive

I take my and Eri meals and throw them on floor, then act like sorry “Eri ım so sorry... You know how clumsy ı can be... Well now we don’t have food so we don’t have to sit here lets go”

I grab her hand and start pull her out of caffetaria with me

When we leave caffetaria she start laughing, ı left her hand and don’t look at her

“I know... I know you don’t need my help but ı can’t sit and act like nothing happened, laugh as much as you want”

I keep looking at floor she can see ım blush a little bit

She try stop her laugh and put her hand on my shoulder “Sorry... I wasn’t laugh at you, ı just...” She stop and start laughing again “Just when you throw us meal at floor you must to see them face” She start laughing again

Then ı can’t hold my laugh anymore and ı start laughing too, when we keep laughing middle of corridor ı feel a hand on my shoulder

I stop laughing and turn to hand owner, when ı turn ı see miss Chieko

She look at us whit her warm smile “Can ı know what make you so happy?” 

İf another teacher would ask this, Eri and ı, both of us would be scare to dead

But when she ask this wit that smile ı found myself tell her what happened 

“There was a boy in caffeteria and he become very closer to Eri” I stop talking in here ı almost start laughing again

Eri take the word and start talking without laughing “I was start feel uncomfortable then Aoki take our meals and throw them on floor, then he hold my hand and take me away from him” 

Miss Chieko keep smiling until the end when Eri say last words her smile become smalller “So you throw your food on floor, try to hide from janitor, he wouldn’t be kind if he learn you do it”

I put my hand front of my mouth “I complatly forget about that part” 

This time miss Chieko start laughing “Don’t worry, he’s very old ım sure he don’t even see you”

I gave a sight and look at miss Chieko with a relax look “Oh... I thought he going to kill me or something”

Eri was laugh with me but when ı start joking about dying her experiession become colder, this was the rare moment ı saw her not smiling

She look at me her coldest look and talk with even colder voice “I told you not to joke about this”

“Im sorry... I forget for a moment” We both of us stop laughing, atmospher change to cold so quickly so miss Chieko even can’t understand what happened

She look at us but we don’t look at her

Then we heard class bell “Sorry miss Chieko we have to go” We talk at the same time then we turn our back to miss Chieko and start walking class

We don’t talk until end of school, actually we’re always along well but sometimes we have this moments we don’t even look at eachother

İn the end of school we start walking home we still don’t talk or even look eachother

When we go to ours houses, i feel a hand on my shoulder

When ı turn the hand owner ı saw miss Chieko

She look at us with her warm smile and “Are you have a fight?” We don’t look at her and keep walking but she walk with us and it’s seems like she won’t leave without answer

“No” Eri say with a cold voice, miss Chieko try to hide but ı can easily say she shocked

Even people who don’t know Eri well can say it’s impossible to see her cold

She always have big smile and warm voice

She always try to make people happy, you never see she’s strugling

Even if you know her a few minutes ago you know that... İf she isn’t happy, there must be something bad

And ı can say miss Chieko in this statu right now, she can say there’s something wrong

She pull herself together in just a second and turn to her calm smile and keep talking

“Do you remember what ı say today, you can treat me like one of your friend... Please ı asking you as your friend, what happened”

I stop walking and turn to her, ı just look at her for a moment then ı hold Eri arm and make her stop too

I take a deep breath and look at Eri’s eyes, ı know what she want to say

“İt’s just... I promise Eri long time ago... About...”

Then ı stop and look at Eri, she can say ı can’t finish this sentecnes, so she take a deep breath and she start talking

“He promise me never talk about dying again... Two years ago” 

Then we both of us stop talking, even miss Chieko can’t find anything to say

Her smile become smaller and she start look at floor

“I see” She talk with a very quit tone, we just wait for her talking but she don’t seem to talk in a while

So we turn our back and start walking, then ı remember something and turn to miss Chieko

But she left...

I can’t move because of shock for a moment, she was just there just a second ago, how can she leave without even make a sound

I stop here and look for her but Eri don’t seem to mind it

İt’s like normal to her, she dissapear in a second

Eri realise ı don’t follow her and she turn to me “Aren’t you coming?”

“Haven’t you notice miss Chieko just dissapeard?”

“Who?”

Then she keep walking

I can’t believe what ı just heard, what does it mean... Who? What?

But ı can’t stay so longer ı start walking and go next to her, we don’t talk until we come home but ım sure she would forgive me tomorrow

Because she always will

Atleats she have to...
