The Girl Who Stopped The World
Dream or Reality?
*her light starts to glow brighter*
*so bright Kirika is having trouble opening her eyes*
Kirika
I- I can’t see..! It’s too bright!
*Kirika tries to protect her eyes by covering them*
*suddenly everything became dark again*
*she looks around and she’s in her room and on her bed*
Kirika
Was I dreaming all this time....?
*she gets up and walks to the bathroom*
*while washing her face she noticed she has a strange black mark on her neck*
Kirika
What’s this mark..?
Kirika
It’s not ink... looks like a bite mark. A spider?
Kirika
Or a hickey....? *blushes*
*she roughly shakes her head*
Kirika
No way that can be a hickey! Probably a bug bite. Yeah!
Kirika
I was having a nightmare and this is just a bug bite. Nothing abnormal. Hmm hmmm hmmm
*she goes to bed and tries to fall asleep*
Kirika
Who was that girl... in my dream..?
*Kirika passes out thinking about that mysterious girl*
Mom
How are you feeling? Any better?
*Kirika slightly shocked*
Kirika
I’m fine, Mom. Why won’t I be fine?
*she sits down to have breakfast*
Kirika
*worried* Remember what Mom?
Mom
You don’t remember your friend bringing you home last night?
Mom
You were unconscious and your clothes were all dirty
Kirika
Which friend Mom? Did she say her name?
Mom
*confused* What do you mean? You don’t know your friend’s name?
Mom
Are you telling me you were hanging around with strangers?
*Kirika can see mom’s getting mad so she lies*
Kirika
No mom! I meant I was with my whole friend gang. I wanted to know which one of them dropped me off. *nervous*
Kirika
Did she state her name?
Mom
Yes, she said her name was Naomi.
Mom
How long have you met this girl Naomi? I don’t remember you talking about her.
*Kirika is getting pretty nervous. She’s not used to lying to her mother*
Kirika
Um... Oh! THAT Naomi!
Kirika
She’s a transfer student at my school. She’s my new friend
Mom
Then why don’t you tell your new friend to stop by next time, hm?
Kirika
Y-Yes mom. I’ll definitely tell her to visit!
*mom shakes head and continues having breakfast*
*Kirika’s getting ready to head for school*
Kirika
Mom, I’m off to school!
*mom hands her over a small bento box*
Mom
I prepared a small lunch for you and your new friend Naomi. Make sure to give to her
Kirika
*hesitant* O-Ok mom
*she puts the box in her school bag*
Kirika
I’m off then. Take care. love you
*mom goes into room and Kirika walks to school*
Kirika
Now where do I find a Naomi who is a transferred student in my school...
*Kirika panics as she walks down the same road as yesterday*
*she sees a crowed in front of her* *Police is there too*
*she asks an old man standing there*
Kirika
Hey Grandp, what’s going on there?
Grandpa
*sigh* some guy killed himself in that alley over there
*heartbeat rises- It’s the same ally like the one in her yesterday dreams*
Kirika
That ally over there?
Grandpa
*nods head* yeah yeah. There
Kirika
Grandpa, do you know... how he killed himself...?
*grandpa hesitates a little*
*he leans in closer to her ears*
Grandpa
That guy cut his own throat with a pocket knife*
*the ground under Kirika’s feet started to shake* *intense heartbeating*
Kirika
C-Cut his t-throat?
*they both look around and the dead body is being carried out*
*Kirika notices that body was just like the Man who attacked him yesterday*
Grandpa
Are you ok my dear? You shouldn’t watch if it scares you
*Kirika is sweating like crazy*
Kirika
I- um... I’m fine Grandpa. It was nice talking to you. I better go to school.
*she says goodbye to the old man and walks away quickly*
Kirika
So yesterday wasn’t a dream...
