Will you forget the happy memories you made because it reminds you how life was before it went all ape-shit on you ?

My name is Leon Cruz, I wasn’t the best in anything I did, I can say i was average, I had friends, but i preferred to hang out in my room where i was all alone, listening to nostalgic songs, which reminded me of my days in high school, now that I entered college, all of them seemed out of reach, the past where I was happy and surrounded by friends, and the present where my life is filled to the brink with deadlines and problems, are so different from each other,

I was all alone in my room, staring at the blank screen of my computer, thinking what to do, I light a cigarette, and smoke for a little bit, i walk towards the window and face the sky, then suddenly I had an epiphany, i quickly went to my computer, then started typing.

My first year of high school was very eye opening to me, I thought it would feel awesome, now that I was already in high school, I get to boss around the young lesser aged people, but i was so wrong.

As the first day of my first year in high school starts, I saw my old friends,Eddi, Eric Christiian, and my brother Jiro. back then when we at middle school we would skip school, and hang out at the near-by park, imagining what would our future, we would spend hours just talking and sleep, sometimes we would bring food, so we could eat something.

I had in total thirty classmates, the faces I saw in middle school are still the same faces I saw during high school, I walk towards my friends who were in circle at the each of our classroom,

“Yo, what’s up guy” I told them.

“Yo, bruh. We were just talking about where will we spend our time when skip class later,” Eddi told me.

“Why not the park?” I replied.

“Dude we’re already in high school, we need to up our game,” Eric said.

"well, we could always go to Eddi's house," I told them.

"Nah bro, Not today, my dad is in the house, he took the day off" Eddi told me.

"Shit, ah fuck it, we'll just wing it later." I said.

I sat down on a chair, and started talking with them, after a few minutes, the bell finally rang.

Class was starting, our homeroom teacher entered the classroom.

It was Ms. Claire, she was a little bit shorter than me, she had blonde hair, and blue eyes, she was really a nice person, and a great teacher, she was our English teacher back in middle school, that was the sign that class finally started, hours would go by, other subjects, would change, but I would never listened.

It was already lunch time, we planned on skipping class, but as we we’re exiting the school’s premises, Suddenly there was this girl who caught my eye, she was so fucking beautiful, I thought i died and she was an angel sent to take me to heaven.

I didn’t notice I had stop walking, and my fellow “cutting class” brothers had already left me behind, when I look the girl again, she was gone.

“Who was that girl?” I asked myself.

I didn’t know where did my bros went, and I’m not the person who searches for people when they get left behind. I;m too fucking lazy, but still wanted to skip class, so I decided to go to the roof of our school, where it was Isolated from everyone, students were not allowed to there, the door was always kept locked, luckily I stole the key, a long time ago.

The halls were filled with hall monitors who monitor the halls for like me, but I was too fucking smart for them, I was like “BIg boss” from those “Metal Gear Solid” games I planned my covert operation towards the roof the school, however, my brain was already at the point of laziness where it couldn’t think so, I just did what every other person like would do, I climb the side of the school towards the roof,

As I walking towards the side of the school, my head started aching, it felt like something is pounding inside my head.

"Ahhh, Shit!, fuck!" What the fuck was that?" I ask myself.

I didn’t notice I was on my knees, suddenly memories I didn’t have started flowing through my head, I couldn't explained what happened, but I knew myself well I didn't give a fuck, so I still continued my climb towards the roof.

As I arrived on the roof, I saw the girl I saw a moment ago, she was on the other side of roof, laying down, her eyes closed. She was wearing the uniform for our school, so I figured she was just another student who was cutting class.

I walk towards her, but suddenly my head started aching again, I fell on my knees, and with both hands started holding my head. I couldn’t bear, the pain. Images started appearing, I could see moments in my life I didn’t know if it really happened or not, then suddenly the girl who was lying down stood up and started walking towards me, while I was still on my knees.

She had a smile on her face, it was kinda creepy, but some what, nostalgic., as if I've already seen that smile before, then out of impulse, I said something softly.

"A...l..e.xis......"

Then tears started pouring out of my eyes, and it began to rain, the girl was still walking towards me, now she was wearing different clothes, and I remember being in the roof, but why am I in park, finally she was in front of me, she kneeled down, and whispered something to me.

"Leon, Wake up" she said.

Then I started hearing a loud ringing, it was so fucking loud, I lost i lost consciousness, but when I woke up, I was in my bed.

"It was all a dream?" I asked myself.

I forgot I was dreaming, everything I dreamt about did happen in the past, but instead of getting left behind, I was with my bros, and we were at Christian's house.

"Alexis. But why was Alexis in it?"

I tried to for a moment, then I remembered Alexis died.

A year had already passed, I met Chryssel and new friends, now another challenge is arising, I glanced over my calendar in it is labeled "tournament on the two weeks".

Then I remembered every that happened, before now, after Alexis died, I got myself so drunk, but how did I end up in my house.

"Oh well, not my problem!" I thought to myself.

I started to get out of bed, prepare my day of training, not knowing the truth of what has yet to come.
