The Wind of My Life

- Stop looking at each other like two lovebirds and come have breakfast with us, Naomi! - DAD!

- Ah ... No problem?

- It's okay, Naomi. You know you're welcome here. - Mom, don't go with the flow.

- Thank you, Mrs. Rodr ...

- Without formality. Just call me "mom" who already speeds things up between you two. - MOM!

- Ah ... - It's easy to see that Naomi is a little uncomfortable.

- Well, I'm sorry, Naomi.

- It's okay ~~

I feel guilty that my parents are like that with her. Well, after 2 years of being close friends, she and I have already gone through abnormal situations that only cliché romantic comedies have, and in fact, have a different mood when we are together and everyone realizes ... It is almost inevitable that some people think like that, including my parents ... although I wish it were true ...

- So, how are your mother and sister?

- They are fine.

- How nice. I haven't spoken to your mother in a while.

- Ah. It's because she's been very busy recently. - Busy, huh ...

- Is it okay if I visit her one of these days? I wanted to chat with her.

- I'll let her know when I can. - I don't think it will work.

After a few seconds, Naomi was already sitting at the table and was already getting a cup of coffee. To be honest, I think my parents want to talk to her without me. Even though it is very "obvious", I will give them a chance.

- Naomi, do you mind if I get something?

- Okay. I wait. But if you can, accelerate a little to go.

- Fine...

I leave the kitchen and walk down the hall. I take a look back and start walking quickly towards my mom and dad's room.

Entering here, I go straight to their wardrobe. As much as there is a slight difference in body between my mother and Ellyn, I decide to get an outfit here that no longer fits my mom. Like, my mom won't be missing much and being honest, I don't even know if it'll fit Ellyn, but it's worth the try.

...

* writing something on the table

Ready. In case Ellyn needs to come here, she can try on this outfit. The thought of seeing her in that dress all the time would get a lot of attention. I know she can be invisible, but when in doubt, I think this outfit can help her move or something, in addition to looking more normal. I just hope no one sees that outfit here.

* leaving the room and closing the door.

Sigh...

- Naomi, when you need something, you can count on us.

- Ah. You don't have to worry ...

- Nah , that's it. We will be happy to help you. I already said that you are welcome here.

- Thanks...

Hmph. I think she commented to him about the ...

- Listening to other people's conversations, idiot? - Cassie, don't scare me, brat!

I think Cassie went to her room too. So she and I head towards the kitchen, ready to leave. Naomi looking at us and gets up, fixing her hair. Your beautiful long black hair ...

- Let's go~~?

When she looks at me like that ... I don't know ... I want to take a picture of her and leave it as my cellphone wallpaper. Long black hair, brown eyes, a very beautiful body, almost approaching a Japanese student ... So beautiful ...

- We are going. - Yeah, maybe I have a crush on her ...

07:05 AM

After a few minutes, Naomi and I are following our path to school. A silence is present, since I am walking a step behind her. The reason is because I'm worried that Ellyn will show up at the house and pick up the clothes without anyone seeing ...

- Sebastian? Are you okay?

-Ah .. Yes, I'm fine.

- It's just that you don't look excited or anything.

- Is not it. It's just ... - Think fast, son of a ...

- So?

- I ... I didn't expect you to come for us to go to school together.

- Ahhhh ... You were nervous when I walked in the door, right?

- N-I wasn't ... Not really. - Why am I looking like a tsundere ?

- I know ... - Of course her face is saying that she doesn't believe me.

- So ... What did they ask about you?

- Normal things. School, my plans for the future, if you want me to be part of the family ...

- What???

- Joke~~ - Heart broken into a thousand pieces.

- Yeah, of course it would be ...

Naomi and I have been friends since the middle of 2nd year of high school. Let's say that because of a certain disagreement involving me, her and other people, we ended up getting to know each other better. I always remember that she is a model of a person that I idealize to become ... Just, honest, humble person and that is always willing to think about the good of everyone in an ideal way. And yet, a person as good as she is in trouble ...

- What about your parents' problem?

The moment I asked, Naomi just looked down and I understood why ...

- They started to initiate the divorce process ...

- Oh sorry...

- No problem. You already knew what was going to happen. I already knew it too. And now it's happening ...

- I thought they wouldn't think about doing that now.

- I thought so too, but things are not as slow as we think.

- Hm ...

- If they want to do that, no problem.

- But and you? And Nozomi?

- I'm trying to take it seriously, but Nozomi ... she's not taking things well.

- Ah ...

- Well, I just hope it doesn't harm her future ...

I can only be silent.

- You know, sometimes I envy your family. Everyone there, smiling and playing with each other. It is something I would like to have.

- You know that their madness is something that shouldn't be there, right?

- At least, there's something between you and make you together ...

...

About 6 months ago, Naomi told me about constant fights within her family, especially her father and mother. Naomi told me it was hell to watch a couple with more than 20 years just make this. I tried to avoid talking about it with her at the time it was starting, but I could already tell that Naomi was not feeling very well about this divorce thing. So much so that she spent more time away from home, but ... Things got serious 2 months ago.

At the time, I had caught a very bad flu that left me in bed for about 5 days, and I heard from Ian that Naomi had pulled out earrings from about 3 students because they were not dressed properly. After that moment, I saw people moving away from her and I realized that at that moment ... What she needed most was far from her ... Someone who could listen to her.

When I got better, I visited her. And she ended up freaking out. She screamed, and screamed, and screamed ... And cried so much that I never forget how desperate and sad it was to see her like that. Of course, I stayed close to her and gave my help as much as I could, but I could see that she was different.

After a few weeks, she started to return to normal and tries to spend time forgetting about her family problems. Strange that because of that ... She started spending more time with me. I cheered her up, she smiled and everything was peaceful for a while. Even Ian and Stella became friends with her. So I try hard to try to make her happy or laughing at some of the things I do. Everything for her not to be sad ...

* pushing slightly Naomi

- Hey, cheer up! Not everything is perfect or lasts forever. I know they were happy and such, but there are times when that happiness is running out. It is natural for things like this to happen.

- Natural? 20 years together and is this natural?

- As I said, not everything lasts forever. Furthermore, if they were unable to stay together any longer, what prevents you from continuing this happiness forward?

...

- I don't know...

- Try. They guided you, gave you the way to choose and even they, together or separately, will support you. That's what the family does. And in my opinion, there is nothing better for parents than seeing their children happy and moving on ...

...

- Hmph ... You know, saying obvious things is not something that many people would like to hear.

- But the answers are obvious. It is people who complicate things because they do not understand all points of view.

At that moment, I only see Naomi looking at me, strangely surprised and ends up giving a small smile.

- You know, if one day I go to work with criminalistics, I'll find a way to put you as a psychologist.

- Psychologist is not my thing. I prefer to be civil.

- An exemplary civilian. I would put a picture of you there on the police bulletin board.

- No. No way.

- hehe ~~

It's good to see her smile like that. Even in the face of these problems, it still moves on. And I'm happy to be close.

- And like my mom said. You are welcome at home. When you want to spend time there to be calm or need company, don"t hesitate to ask.

...

- You know ... This is kind of weird to say to a girl ~~

- W-W-Well, it wasn't like that ... like, I meant ... You are you ... and ... ah ...

- Hehe ~~

Damn it! Now she'll think I'm inviting her to ...

- Fine. I'll go there more often, if you want ~~

Damn cupid! Why did you aim your arrow at me?

...

07:20 AM

Naomi and I ended up arriving at school, with many people looking at us both. Stella has already commented to me that many people think that Naomi and I are dating. I would be happy if it were true. But somehow, they stay more relieved when I'm around her. Naomi is very strict with rules and rules of conduct at school, and in general, she has no patience with anyone who breaks these rules. However, when I'm with her, she becomes more ... calm, so to speak. Quiet in quotes because she already hit me over the head with a large fan of paper that I don't know where she got it from. Calmed...

- I'm going to my classroom.

- Fine. Is it okay if I see you later?

- Clear. You know where I will be ~~

- Fine. See you later, Naomi.

- See you later, Sebastian ~~

After that, Naomi entered the school and I just watched her, all stunning.

- Ah, bastard! Have you been flirting with Naomi yet?

- Ian, go scare your mother, go!

- I can't. Either she dies of a heart attack or I get beaten until my leather is peeled off.

- I know ...

- I think I saw two lovebirds walking together on the way.

- Stella? - Calm down, Ian.

- Who else? I even took a picture of you two.

- Send it to me later. - It looks like I'm going to lose such a treasure.

I look at Ian and Stella realizes that they are not surprised. Did my nefarious plot work?

- I think we better get in soon. In a little while Naomi will show up with those fans of hers and then I will walk to the ordeal.

In the end, the 3 of us ended up entering the school .

...

03:35 PM

I ended up going to the third floor of the school, where some clubs operate. I see many students passing by , entering and leaving the rooms, but seeing from a distance, I already see where I should be going. The student council room ...

* knoc knoc

- Come in.

I walk into the room and I already notice Naomi sitting next to one of the windows, with a pile of papers on her desk. Entering more, I see that there is no one but her, which makes me believe that no one wanted to be close to her so as not to get beaten up with a fan of paper.

- Hi Naomi.

- Ahh Sebastian ~~ Glad you came.

- I said I was coming ... So ... Do you want me to help you with these requests?

- Yes you can. Let me get some here.

Naomi ends up taking a good part of her papers and moved to a round table in the center of the room.

- Same thing?

- Yes. Request for maintenance, put a green check. Request to order some material, yellow check. Absurd request, red. - Naomi explains this to me, placing three stamps on the table , while I sit down.

...

- We will stay here until 4:00 in the afternoon, so if you don't complete them all, put it here on my desk and I'll finish it all tomorrow.

- Oh. Was it just a day and had all these requests?

- As usual, the other members didn't want to do their jobs yesterday and today, so there's more left for me. - In fact, they had arranged to have lunch together. They even called me, but I refused.

- Right...

...

A few minutes passed and I already stamped a good part of the pile that Naomi gave me. Even though it was a little less than her pile, she managed to stamp almost everything at incredible speed . But also ...

- Naomi, if a club needs and ... an item for oral use , is it to put red?

- It depends. What is the item?

- Better let it go ...

Many clubs ask for absurd things too much. I have seen "ritualistic knife", "horse head " and "fairy wings" ... What in holy judgment would you ask for these things? The horse's head I understand, but the rest ...

- Look at this, Sebastian. The performing arts club asks for money to buy bard instruments ... what is "bard"? - I bet 1 dollar that someone called Naomi didn't watch The Witcher .

- They are singers of the middle ages. Well, if they asked for instruments , they are asking for harps or flutes. - I guess...

- Hmph. It looks interesting ... I'll authorize it. - If they don't do a scene playing " Give a coin to your Witcher ", I'll go there myself and confiscate everything!

In a simple way, helping Naomi with these services is something cool. Quiet, simple and you can have a laugh or two. It is no wonder that when I have requests, I make a point of coming here.

- So, is there much missing?

- Not so much, Naomi. 10 to go, I think.

- Hmph. Wait a second.

...

As I would say without getting nervous ... Now Naomi is right next to me, very close to me, reading the latest requests that are on the table. If it was something with intent, I would be a romantic comedy protagonist, but if I do something wrong, I will just see the fan mark on my face.

- Sebastian, are you okay?

- Y-Yes , I'm perfectly fine.

- Okay ...

Calm heart !

- Request for 2nd year students in class C asking to change the air conditioning that broke . Hmph ... Why not? Give me the green stamp there.

- Fine. Take it.

I think it is better to turn my gaze to something else. If she notice that I looking much to her, she will ...

* stamp on my face

Wait what?

-Now you're approved ~~

...

- I had this joke ready, right?

- Hehe ~~ I don't know anything ~~

- Give me a handkerchief there for me to take.

- Let me do that .

Naomi took a handkerchief that was next to her and started rubbing it on my cheek, where she had stamped it. I just feel her hand slowly passing the handkerchief over my cheek. I look at the glance and see that she is smiling at me.

- Sebastian ...

- Yes, Naomi?

- I... wanted to ask... if... you...

* cell phone ringing on the table

My cell phone is ringing and I decide to pick it up, while Naomi stops cleaning my face, without complete what her said. Apparently, she's already finished cleaning the stamp. I see mycell phone and ...

- (Message from Stella) Sebastian, where are you ?

I look with a feeling of depression for seeing that. Stella, take a break!

- I'll pack my backpack so we can go soon. - No!!!

Stella, your ...

- (Sebastian's message) I was here with Naomi in the student council room ... WHY ???

- (Message from Stella) So I think you better not go out with her because there is a girl here in front waiting for you- Wait...

- (message from Sebastian) What girl?

After a few seconds, I get up. AND...

- (Message from Stella) She said her name is Ellyn.

...

WHAT???????
