Just after the ball, in a rather empty road which seems heavily surrounded by nature. It was pitch-black, with headlights as the only light source. On the way to my apartment with three of my classmates who were also my roommates. They were intoxicated, I was too, actually, but I was the most sober among them; I was conscious enough to worry about the dangers of what we were doing. I would have volunteered to drive the car, but only one of us knows how to drive, and that is certainly not me; having a drunken friend to drive was the only option. I sat there quietly beside the driver’s seat, not showing my anxiousness, I didn’t want to be called a faggot. I wasn’t, however. Before we even took a single step out of the campus, I have been bothered with regret. It wasn’t regret for something I did, but for something I didn’t: There was this girl who I liked very much; also a classmate of mine. She was thin and small, reaching only about my shoulder when stood beside me. Long, straight and black was her hair. She had clear, white skin which seemed to be made out of porcelain and a pair of blood-red lips to go with it. She was the girl who would prefer the company of music playing in her ears via earphones than to people. Every time we had vacant time in our classroom, she would sit there quietly at the back seat drawing stuff in a piece of paper; her drawings were decent. She was a fan of anime, and a religious person; I was neither of the two, maybe that’s why it’s hard for me to get into a conversation with her. I have, however, so it may still be okay to call her my friend. I liked her character, and I thought she was beautiful. Yes, she was beautiful indeed, especially that night. I wanted to ask her to dance with me, and probably ... ... middle of paper ... ...e ballroom. There was a strange sign of contentment in her face. For the very first time, she seemed like she was happy to see me, like she was happy to be with me. I noticed that the gazebo, on which we were placed upon, was drifting on a chocolate sea. “Aren’t we going to fall?” I asked her. “We already did,” she replied softly. Everything she says, she says it softly. She tilted her head to her right, closed her eyes then slightly looked up. I did the same, except that I looked down instead. There was no feeling of confusion or doubt when we pressed our lips towards each other’s. There was nothing but complete happiness. 0636 – Shattered glass, sheets of metal and four students’ dead bodies scattered across the ground, with a crumpled vehicle nearby. It was almost another day at the office for the cops who found a bloody scene of what appears to be a car accident.
