M A N I C [Chapter 2]
Two
The first snow falls
Her brown hair luxuriously fall on her shoulders and was blown by the wind, she had that angelic glow within the cold mists. That's when I realized, one more step would have ended her life
“Wait! Don’t jump!!” I yelled and ran directly towards her.
She turned her head at me “What, wait!”
But before I could say anything in reply, I wrapped my arms around her stomach, trying to get her down. “Don’t jump!” I yelled.
“What are you doing?! Let go of me!!” she shrieked.
“No, don’t jump! Committing suicide is wrong!” I said, still not letting go of her. “Not only its wrong by law, think of your family and how would they feel?”
“What the f-k, who the hell said I was going to commit suicide?!” she looked at me weirdly and angrily.
“Wait, you’re not committing suicide?” I looked at her feeling very embarrassed. “You’re not going to jump?” I asked.
“Of course not!” she replied and struggled off of me, but the heel of her shoe broke making her unbalanced and to fall on me, letting go off the black book she was holding earlier.
With just a quick motion and pain, our positioned changed. She was now on top of me, her eyes widened and awkward silence hung in the air. Before I could even gaze into her eyes, she gasps and turned away. “My sketch book!"
She gotten off of me and looked down. “Noooooo!!”
"What's with all the racket?" Nino came walking in from the door. I and the girl turned our heads at him and Nino looked back at us. "Umm.. Oh-chan, why are you on the floor? And who is that?"
"Sorry, I'm just leaving." she said as she stood up. She walked pass behind Nino and climb down the stairs. I had the urge to go and chase her and apologized, but i didnt know if i should, so I stayed rooted on the ground.
"Need som help?" Nino asked and offered his hand, which i took in and stood up. I immediately dusted my jacket and fixed myself. I nodded of saying thanks and looked down, feeling a little bit embarrassed on what had happened. So, she WASNT trying to commit suicide.
"Who was that girl?" Nino asked. I turned to him.
"Honestly?"
"Yeah."
"I have no idea..." i shook my head.
Then, i heard noises coming from the door. Nino turned. I turned. Then, Aiba and Sho appeared from teh darkness of the starcase, with Jun.
"I said, i want to go and rest at the hotel Damn it!" Jun hissed with Aiba pulling him by his sleeve.
"No, no no!" Aiba swayed his fingers infron of Jun's face. "You are going to enjoy the snow thing were doing with us."
"Hey guys!" Sho greeted, leaving Jun and Aiba arguing. Nino and i greeted him and helped him out with the stuff he brought. "Take a scarf each guys." Sho said. Nino and i nodded, taking one each and wrapped it around our neck.
"Sorry we're late, Something dropped on Aiba's head while we were on our way back from the car." Sho laughed softly. "You should've seen it!"
"What dropped?" Nino asked.
"A black book." Sho replied.
Hearing the reply, i couldn help but to think if it was the girl's book, so i asked. "Wait, may i have a look at it plaese?"
"Sure, it's with Aiba." Sho pointed. "Aiba, Riida wants to see the book." Sho called Aiba who was still arguing with Jun.
"The one that fell from the sky?" Aiba replied
"Yeah, that one." Sho nodded.
"Hold on." Aiba shuffled thourgh his bag and took a black book out from it. "Here."
I immediately walked towards Aiba and grabbed the book from him and looked at it. This was the same book that the girl dropped earlier. I never thought it would have dropped on Aiba. Coincidence? Maybe.
"Umm.. i have to go somewhere." I said and tunred to look at them.
"Where?" all replied at once.
"Somewhere, but it's urgent. Can i? Please?"
The others took their time to think, but Sho gave me the green light and the others agrred. "But, dont forget to come back okay?" Aiba said. I nodded and ran down the stairs, hearing Jun and Aiba arguing again, something about me getting away from the gathering and Jun being unsatisfied.

Outside the hotel, i found her on her hands and knees, looking for her book through the bushes.
"I can see your underwear." I suddenly said.
She immediately scrunched over and covered up. "Excuse me?!" she turned to me angrily. "Oh, it's you."
"Sorry, it just slipped. Just telling you to becareful.."
"Okay, well, um... Bye." she smiled andcontinued her search. She was kind of hard to talk to, but i tried to find something to start a conversation.
"It;s cold out ne?" i said.
"Yes." she replied, her face still burried in the bushes. I heard her cursed and hissed through it, which made me laughed.
"Hey, what are you looking for?" i asked, although i already new the answer; her black book.
"My black book, i dropped it because of the incident on the roof." she sighed.
"Im so sorry. I thought you were-"
"Abotu to commit suicide?" she cut me.
"Yeah..." i looked down in embarrassment. "I'm so sorry about it, i really didnt mean to-"
"To sudenly grab me?" she cut me off again with an amused grin on her face.
"Yeah, that." i nodded. "By the way, here's your book." i took it out and gave it to her. She stopped her search and looked at the book inmy hands. She took time to familiarize it, until it did, her eyes lit.
"Oh my, where did you find it?" she looked up at me.
"It dropped on my friends head, so i figured it was yours. Here." i pushed it to her and smiled. "Still, I'm sorry."
"Are you kidding me? Thankyou!" she came foward and hugged me tight. "Thankyou so sos oooo much stranger!" she gave me a pat on the back and smiled. "I'm so relieved!"
"Your welcome, and please, it's Ohno."
"May i get a full name with that?"
"Umm... I'm not really sure if i should." I hesitated, i wonder if she knows me. But, if she did, she would have asked or reacted at least shoudlnt she? But, she looks completely clueless.
But all this could be an act to get close to me...
But, she doesnt seem like a person to..
"It's Ohno Satoshi." i finally said.
"Oh?" she had a reaction and her eyes got wider. "Umm, arent you that singer?"
Oh crap.
"Shhhh...!!" I pulled her to a corner and covered her mouth. "Plase, im on a vacation and i really dont want to-"
"Okay, okay, i got it. Dont worry. Secret safe with me." she giggled. "Wow, a celebrity." she smiled. "Never thought i'd meet one in my life. Your presence feels so normal." she laughed and i was taken aback.
"Dont worry Ohno-san, i'm not a fan of yours." she insisted and pushed me off of her. "Sorry," I apologized.
"No problem." she smiled. "Im Kozue." she handded out her hand, waiting for me to shook it. "Ashiara Kozue. Nice meeting you."
I looked at her and shook her hand, smiling. "Nice meeting you too."
Then, small white crystals fell down from the sky and one landed on her fringe and melted down. "Oh look, it's snowing!" she looked around and let go of my hand. "Oh wow..."
I looked around, watching the snow fall onto the ground and melt. Small, soft white crystals falling so slow and slowly melting, dissapearing as if it never existed. That was how we officialy grew to one another, when the first snow falls.
