CHAPTER 8 (Ganial University)
1567 Words
Azure immediately woke up after two hours of sleep when he remembered they would return to the real world before facing Amethyst in her right side.
He yawned, stretched his back and both of its arms upward. In his mind, even in here they can still experience drowsy, yawning, sleeping and eating and that's amazing.
"Hey, Amethyst, wake up," he said, touching her shoulder.
"Ugh, hmm..."
She turned around while still lying on the bed. She didn't want to be disturbed while sleeping.
"Hey, wake up, we're leaving,"
Her wide eyes with the whites showing. It scratched her head so hard as she remembered they could only sleep for a few hours.
"Damn, I enjoy sleeping here," she complained, wiped the side of her lips.
It sat down from lying . She rubbed her drowsy eyes, forcing to open it. When finally she opened her eyes. Gradually she turned around to Azure that was still staring at her.
She frowned at him and slightly raised the side of her upper lips.
"What? Is there any problem?" she asked.
"No, I just realize that you became even cuter." he expressed, while making eye contact with her.
Amethyst slapped it on the shoulder "Well, of course! Azure,"
"Aw, why are you beating me?" he chuckled.
"Because you're not aware that I'm born cute," she explained.
Azure became serious " I know that, you have always been beautiful and cute Amethyst,
It quickly turned its gaze and pout. Azure chuckled even more because of her reaction.
"Let's go, we need to go back,"
Amethyst faced him and smiled. Finally, they will return to the real world.
Azure swiped up its hologram. They looked at each other while they were still in bed, both sitting—Azure quickly pressed his finger on the real world button—The fascinating black ray light swallowed them up and brought their mind to the real world.
When they returned, that was the exact time that sky's mother opened its door slightly.
They both opened their eyes and turned to his Mom.
"Good morning, I just arrived from the grocery, "
"Oh, Mom," he greeted.
Her forehead furrowed, and she finally opened the door wide. It wondered what was on the head of his son and Winter.
Even though it is very modern now, Mrs. Torsney still prefers the old tradition things that pass her by. When high technology gadgets are not yet in vogue. For her, the natural world is still the best.
"What's in your head, Sky?" she wondered.
For the second time Winter and Sky looked at each other again.
"Oh, this?" Winter said.
She removed her thalamus gear from the head and showed it to Sky's Mom.
"This is the new version of headphones, would you like to try?" she excused.
"Ooh, no, I didn't know that," It wrinkled her nose — Things are really changing.
"And actually, I'm too old for that," she added
"No, absolutely not. You look young at your age," Winter flattered.
"Really?"
"Yes, is it right, Sky?" Winter secretly elbowed him in his arm.
"Yes, Mom, she's right," he agreed.
"Oh, glad to hear that dear, let's talk about your book first, leave Sky here." she smiled, and quickly looked at his son which is just serious.
Winter just nodded "Sure, I'm glad you appreciate my story,"
"Well, I was so amazed about the plot of your story," her Mom.
"Okay, we we'll leave you first, Sky," Mrs. Torsney said.
Winter stood up from sitting in Sky's gaming chair and approached Sky's Mom. He scratched the side of his neck when Winter and her mom finally left his room.
He smirked "I really don't understand women."
…
The next morning fresh windy cool and crispy air started whistling like an invisible ghost. The red and green birds with chilli like beak started tweeting their morning melody. Sky could hear it in the window of the bathroom while busy fixing himself. Trying to make him look more presentable than before. For the past few years, he did not think he could go to their University again.
When he got out of the door of their house. He let out a long, slow breath and stared up at the brilliant blue sky. Every day this day has been the same: the tension, and the expectation. Perhaps the Sky you see today differs greatly from what his life used to be before.
Usually he arrived at Ganial University at the perfect time. He did not pick up Winter because they were on different campuses. Some of his classmates can't avoid seeing his appearance change. From weird guy, to interesting man, as its true appearance came out.
When he got to their room — Hunter, one of his best friends, stopped talking to its seatmate when he saw Sky in the door of their classroom.
Even their classmates were surprised because Sky miraculously entered the room. Hunter quickly approached it and greeted it.
"Sky, long time no see," he teased.
"Hey man," Sky responded.
He slightly smiled, the reason why Hunter covered his mouth using his single palm.
He was uncomfortable seeing Sky smiled at him, he never smiled before, poker face, cold stare, that's all the emotion he gave every time he was in school.
Even Asthenia was interrupted while talking to her friend named Melody in the other seat. She witnessed his smile, she couldn't help but stare at Sky's face.
Sky was also a little surprised because recently he doesn't have a chance to meet Hunter in his future life. They were both busy at work during those times.
"Is that really you, Sky?" he gulped.
"Of course yes," he furrowed his brow.
Sky tapped him on the shoulder and continued walking towards his chair as it positioned at the end near the window. Hunter was left at the door questioning himself. Is that really Sky?
Hunter raised his left hand slightly and touched the base of his neck. However, he did not lose his confusion, so he approached Sky who was already looking out the window.
"I got it now, maybe, you bumped your head against the wall?" he guessed.
Sky faced him and smirked. Hunter is still Hunter. He's still his annoying friend, though.
"Stop it, it's still me," he winced.
"You can't blame Hunter, there's so many changes in you, Sky,"
They both turned to where the voice was across Hunter's back — it was Asthenia, crossing her arms and smiling to both of them.
"Well, I know that," Sky answered.
She approached them while still smiling.
"You missed class for two weeks, then you came back like that," Asthenia asserted.
"Like what?" Sky seriously asked.
Her eyes widened because she just dared to talk to Sky. Hunter frowned and turned to them on both sides.
"What she means is you look great now, Sky," Hunter explained.
"Oh, Okay, do I look like garbage, before?" he blurted, seriously.
"No," Asthenia slightly shouted.
Even Sky and Hunter were surprised when it suddenly spoke in a high tone.
She couldn't help but answer that question from him. Sky was perfect for her. Asthenia could not help but be ashamed because some of its classmates looked at her, flushing her cheeks to red.
"W-what I mean is, no one looks like garbage," she yelped.
It turned its back on them and quickly returned to its seat. Hunter and Asthenia both grow in the same place. They are friends, and he became a brother to her.
"Don't mind Asthenia, she's always like that," Hunter explained.
"I said nothing," Sky answered.
He looks out the window and every time he sees something quiet and beautiful like the claude outside the window glass. Winter immediately enters his mind.
Hunter scratched his head — It is the same rude Sky. He is no longer his friend if Sky's rudeness gone.
"I miss your rudeness, Man," Hunter taunted.
Sky smirked, "Well, I did not miss you,"
"I know, I know man,"
"You better know," Sky chuckled.
Hunter sat at the table opposite Sky's chair, Exactly their teacher had just arrived.
"Mr. Williams, is sitting at the table right?" Professor Vladimir.
"No, Professor," he trembled.
Hunter quickly sat down in his chair because of what had happened, Sky couldn't help but chuckled secretly.
The whole class also laughed a little.
"And you, Mr, what's your name again?" it pointed to Sky.
He stood up from sitting and spoke " Sky, Sky Torsney,"
"Hmm, I don't remember you, Mr. Torsney," his professor responded.
Their classroom was filled by the silent. Girl's are trying to hide their admiration for Sky. It changes a lot, from its appearance and its whole personality. Perhaps, there are also things that didn't change to him, like his coldness — Winter is the only person who really shows off his corny side.
"Okay, sit down, let's proceed to our topics,"
He sat down in his chair and the class started. While his professor was discussing physics, he couldn't help but think of his former friend Abigor.
He remembered the last time they talked. At that moment they should play reborn battle together. The exact time that the game was released. Sadly, he did not accompany it nor did he go on a date with Winter. That day — his sorrow devoured himself.
