CHAPTER ONE: SEE YOU MISS YOU

                                                                    CHAPTER ONE


I went back home to my empty room with no lights on, I stared at her with my phone contacts, The fact that I could call her at any moment kind of excited me, It's been years since I've last seen her and last time I did speak to her she broke my heart, The wind from the fan from my room blasted on 3

"What If" I said putting my hand on my phone

"What're ya thinkin about?" The Reflection asked from the glass cup in my room

"Nothing.. Nothing."

"Well, You wanna call her right? Go ahead!"

"What If I'm annoying her, What if she doesnt wanna speak to me."

"Don't be such a bum! Ofcourse she wants to speak to you, You guys are friends! Remember?"

"I guess I'll give it a shot." I replied pressing the call button on her phone

After a while it became obvious that she wouldn't reply to my call, She left me on voicemail and I decided to hang up, I laid down on my bed just staring at her phone on my contact, It's truly been a while hasn't it Franchez?

"How long has it been?" I asked my reflection

"I also haven't been able to recall Haruki."

I decided to go to sleep until I got a phone call from Franchez, I frantically pressed the call button

"H-Hello?" I whispered into the phone

"Haruki? Why were you calling?" Franchez asked

"Oh Sorry, My hand slipped.. Sorry for disturbing." I said quickly trying to hang up

"Wait! Wanna go out sometime? With Albedo and stuff?"

"H-Huh? S-Sure!" I stammered

"Just tell me when you're available, Alright?"

"Alright." I said before hanging up

"SCORE!" I yelled and started jumping up and down inside my bedroom

"GIVE ME FIVE!" The reflection from the cup said, I tried to high five him but he fell off my desk and broke on the floor

"What's that noise?" My Mother yelled from downstairs

"Nothing mom!" I yelled back

"Besides that, I managed to arrange a date! well.. Not really a date just like a hangout with her and some of my friends, Maybe that's a good time for us to catch up! And maybe, Just maybe I can get close to her again!" I said out loud

"Yo.. I respect you and all but maybe take it a step back? Maybe you two can just be friends y'know?" My reflection said from the broken shards of glass

"Right.. Sorry." I said before going downstairs to grab a broom and dustpan, I told My mom what happened about me accidentally breaking the cup, She was pretty okay with it. After all, I dont have strict parents

After I cleaned the mess I continued to ponder about the endless possibilities of stuff we could try out, I sat on my chair facing my desk with the fan going against my hair, I have not spoken to Albedo in a few years also so this would be an interesting moment for us

Albedo knows I like Franchez even when we were in Middle school so, He would get the memo. He always does, I went to sleep getting ready for the day we were going to reunite again


 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Next Day after Classes, I decided to take a walk by myself. I'm not particularly stand-offish in my school, I'm just your same old same old, In case of emergency I have a little knife planted in my sock, I wanted to check out some arcades on my way home

I looked inside the nearby cafe and coincidentally Albedo was there, The world is really small. I decided to walk inside but was hesitant on talking to Albedo, I walked up to him and he instantly recognized me

"Haruki! You're back! How's life?"

"Did Franchez tell you about the thing?"

"About the hanging out? Sure! But I'm not sure Since I have to do something with friends, This is your perfect opportunity if incase I couldn't go."

"Friends? With whom?"

"Don't worry about it it wont take long, I just need to meet up with this guy named Danny and stuff."

"Couldn't you just replan to another date?"

"Well, I'm not the guy in charge of that sadly, Sorry Haruki."

We decided to catch up on life and stayed in the Arcade for a while, Albedo told me about him having brother problems and I told him about my infatuation with Franchez, Apparently He did know all along

Catching up to Albedo made me realize that I hadn't done anything properly with my life, Albedo even though having family problems still had managed to have a pretty decent life meanwhile I had everything but still was stuck as that kid from Middle school

I'm pretty sure even Albedo had noticed I hadn't changed, I dont see the point in it. Even though Change isnt something you can force, It's something I can encourage, I hadn't made any more friends than I already had in school, I feel like I had made myself quite a reputation for being quiet, I opened up about my problems and Albedo jokingly said

"(laugh), You really are classic stupid Haruki!" Albedo said pinching my cheek

"Stop that" I thought to myself

I slapped his hand away and Albedo noticed that I had an irritated expression, Albedo in response said "Oh, Sorry Haruki. (laugh) We haven't seen eachother in years and you're already mad at me? My bad" I told him that it was okay and I didn't really care It's just that I'm busy with some stuff, I also told him not to look into it since It's my life after all. In fact I was just embarrassed at the fact I was worked up over this girl that probably never liked me back

"That expression, That's the face of someone that has something going on in their lives!" Albedo said pointing towards me with a smile

"I told you not to worry about it, I dont have any problems right now. The only problems I do have is about school life and such." I said slapping away his hand again

We kept talking about life and What I realized was that, I really need to get my life back together, Albedo being an intellectual can excel school pretty easy. I need to be like him, No worries about life, All he cares about is having fun

But, As of now, The only way to work out that life is to work on myself. I was thinking about talking more to Albedo about school life but we were interrupted by the sound of jingles of the door to the arcade

The Janitor told us that they were about to close and we realized how long it had been, I looked at the time and it had already been 9pm, I was shockingly surprised of how long we had been talking but I decided to give him my contact info before leaving

When I walked outside Albedo followed me, He split ways and I said my goodbyes, When I got home I walked in on my Mother sleeping on the couch and the TV on, I woke up my mother and turned off the TV

I took off my shoes and took off my socks and wore my slippers. I walked up stairs and placed the little knife I had implanted in my sock and put it on my desk and I changed to my casual clothes and sat down on my bed and laid down and stared at the ceiling

"When.. Am I available?" I asked myself

"No idea." My reflection replied from the turned off Laptop screen

"I have exams coming up.. Maybe after? But that's too long maybe she'll forget about me, If I plan it before my exam there's a chance I'll fail my exams, I dont want to study during the hang out it'll make me look bland and boring."

"Woah woah woah! No need to overthink it dude! Just do what comes to mind!" My reflection replied

"What if I did overthink? Got a problem with that?"

"Well, Sometimes Overthinking can hurt your men--" Interrupted by me closing the lid on my laptop

"What do you know about mentality? You're just a reflection of me you don't know anything. The only thing you do know is how to piss me off." I said

"Jeez Are you really that obsessed about her? If so then I'll leave you alone!" He said coming back from the reflection of the mirror in my room

"You go do that." I said reluctantly

"Maybe, I could kill her new man?" I said looking at the little knife on my desk

"No! Wait, What am I thinking?! Am I really going to kill someone over just a little crush? Maybe I did get a little bit obsessed over here, What's wrong with me? I should just go to sleep." I said to myself laying down on my bed



Tomorrow is a new day...
