Notice Me (1)

Tora

Ayano locked her front door, walking out into the street. As she did, she didn't do anything.
Besides, what would be the point?
She was dead inside.

She walked to school, as normal.
Her mind was blank, like normal.
She heard a pair of feet slap at the pavement, then--

"Oomph!"
"Ow!"

She fell to the ground, rubbing her head because...
What was it called?
Pain?
"Oh god, I'm sorry!" A femanine voice says, helping her stand up. "I am so sorry! I didn't mean to do that!" She says, dusting Ayano off.
Ayano looked at the girl, then immediately froze.

She heard beating in her ears, and she felt her chest suddenly seize up. Her stomach did flips, and her heart fluttered.
Suddenly, her vision cleared, and she saw it:
Color.
Her hearing cleared, and she heard it:
Sounds.
Beautiful, horrible sounds of all kinds.

But most of all, she felt her heart skip several beats when this wonderfully terrible stranger opened her mouth.

But, sadly, she only saw color and heard sounds from where this girl was standing.

"Are you Ok?" The girl asks without hesitation, tilting her head and looking at her.
Ayano just stood there, completely frozen.
Who...
Who was this...
How were they making her...
Feel??

"Well, I'm glad you're Ok!" She says, stepping to the side and walking around her.
Ayano watched her leave, the color and wonderfully horrid sounds with her.

She put a hand over her heart, breathing harder and harder, as if she had been drowning where she stood.
"W-w-who was that..?" She asks quietly, her mind racing faster and faster at each second she thought of the stranger.

She shakes her head, then walks to school to try to get her off of her mind.
But..?
She saw her sitting on the fountain, reading a book.

Ayano decided to avoid her, least she be thrown back into her state of hysteria. Walking through the doors, up to the computer lab, she knocked on the door and waited.
Then her phone rang, and she answered it.
The other voice was strong yet quiet, as if it wasn't used to talking for long.

"You knocked, Ayano-san?"
"Yes. I need your help."
"Oh?"
"There's this girl..."
"I already know. I saw everything."
"Then--"
"No. You'll have to work for it. Hmm, on second thought, ill give this one to you for free."
"Thank yo-"
"Don't use my name. It's Info-chan."

The phone call ends abruptly with Info-chan hanging up and sliding documents under the door.
Ayano takes these and hides them in her backpack, then walks to class.
