Thunder boomed and the sky darkened. It started to lightly rain as I approached the building.
"You don't have to come along, you know." I told the figure beside me. The person giggled.
"Of course I do. And my brother will be here shortly."
I sighed.
"We've got to watch out for you, you know."
"You don't have to watch out for me," I snapped back, "you just have to make sure I don't 'screw up' or whatever. I still don't know what I could screw up in, anyways."
Life giggled again as it started to rain. Her perfectly white hair went down to her lower back, against her black skin. And not the African black, but the pure color black.
I sighed. "Just don't follow me everywhere, will you? Talking to the air just doesn't seem normal."
She gave me one of her icy glares, which, if she let it, could turn someone to actual ice. "You might find things here are a little bit opposite from normal, Midoru." And small black petals surrounded her, and she dissapeared.
I looked back to the school. Not too welcoming.... perfect. I walked inside.
