The shattered image - ch 10: From no one to known weirdo

The next day I had apparently become a celebrity without me knowing. Everybody seemed to know about the fuss yesterday.. Great, now they know I'm not normal... I can only imagine what wild stories they have end up with already.
"Haaaaaaaarukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Aya and Isumi ran my way. "So... What happened?" Aya looked at me with wondering eyes, Isumi seemed uncomfortable with all the people looking at us.
What should I say? I didn't want to tell them about my condition and make them think I was weird. What if the only two friends I've ever made would leave me?
"She was just anemic yesterday and the nurse was noisy, so Haruka sorta' sneaked out. And the Nurse just went completely insane..." Daisuke stood stooped over me, with his arm resting on the wall.
"Daisuke!?" When did he appear?
"Daisuke?" Aya and Isumi looked suspicious at each other... "First name huh?" They giggled gently
"It-it's not like that!!! Daisuke just... introduced me with his first name only..."
"....-Because she didn't even know my name, that girl" Daisuke quickly replied to my excuse.
"Kato Daisuke, right?" Aya just knew names didn't she?
"You guessed me" As if she just knew his whole life story from that..
"Ho-how c-come you know...?" Isumi trembled.
"Because I kinda saw it all"
*And then you kept your mouth shot* I thought to myself.
"Uuuuh......... so you were with Kato-kun huuuuuuuuuuuuh?" Aya has a big smirk all over her face.
"Well.. yeaaah..."
"DETAILS - LUNCH! See ya!" And then Aya ran off with Isumi before I could say anything.
"Are you better Haruka?" We kind of let off awkward yesterday, so I kinda felt embarrassed being alone with him.. Would he ask me what the hell in the world happened yesterday?
"F-fine. Thanks."
He looked at the sky and smiled. "Good".
We walked toward the class room together without saying any more.    

The shattered image - ch 9: Captivating heart beats

Daisuke wouldn't look at me, he kept starring at the ground as he talked. It was as if he was distancing himself from his story... his feelings. His words craved into my body and I felt the pain that had tormented him for years. The story about his mother was so detailed, so carefully explained, yet when it came to himself, he rushed through. That was probably the hardest part to tell. It seemed like he hadn't yet overcome his own dark period.

His words sank in, I swallowed the bigger picture, and the puzzled fitted together. I was scared about his words. To have had such a past. It would never have accrued to me, until now, that such a past exist, and was it a past like that, which was sealed away in my mind? I suddenly got scared. What if what I was looking for, wasn't something worth remembering? If I were to relive such a hurtful and tragic past, was it worth it - trying to remember? I froze.

Daisuke kept still. His body wasn't moving, he just stood there staring into space.
I felt an urge to break the silence. I was the one whom was suppose to make the next move right?
"How come you're telling me all this?" Was it really all right to tell all this to a stranger? We barely knew each other and he just poured his heart out!

"You know. When you live with such a person, for so long, you learn to read people, the atmosphere, the mood. I know you are somewhat the same. Something from your past is troubling you too, isn't it?"
How would he know? It wasn't really that I had something painful happened to me like him. I was rather.. trying to find my past.
It suddenly hit me, was I supposed to reveal my own past now? I mean... I was the one nearly forcing him to spill it.... but... after lsitening to just what a person can be caring, would I really want to dig closer in my own mind?

"Im not sure where you get that from - but I do not have a past like that."
"I know, yours is not visible right?"
How would he know?
Daisuke smiled at me, as if he could sense my uncomfortable mind.
"Ah - sorry. I didn't mean to dig. 6 period is starting, we better get going"
There was still 10 minutes until class. Was he letting me go?
"Ah. Sure."
As we walked towards the school a big crowds, an ambulance and the police where standing in front of the gate. Just what in the world?

"OH HARUKA!" My mom came running toward me, why was SHE here? Just, what?
"Haruka! Are you all right? Are you hurt? They told me you collapsed and ran away as if your mind was out of state!"
I remembered now that I had just left that annoying nurse. Had she really create such a fuss? Geez..
"I don't really get whats going on though... The nurse just didn't listen to my request NOT making a big deal about it..."
"Im just glad you're okay! We need to get you to the hospital though"
Urgh. These people, Im not dying for crying out loud!
"Thats really not necessary..."
"At less come home and rest."
I couldn't really refuse her... I really wish everybody wouldn't treat me like I was deathly ill..
