Rikka's POV

It was the end of last period. I was packing my things until Makoto, Regina and Mana came by my desk.

"Hey Rikka are you feeling ok?" asked Makoto.

"You were kinda distracted today" Mana pointed out.

"Really guys! I'm fine don't worry." I said.

"She says that... but we know that it's not true..." mumbled Regina.

"Come on guys! Be reasonable." I said.

We walked out of school and we walked until we reached Mana's parents' restaurant.

"Well I must be going" said Makoto, "I have a song to write."

"Good luck Makoto" I said, "I should be going too."

"Good Luck Makopi! Bye Rikka!" said Mana and Regina as they disappeared in the eatery.

I began to walk back a few blocks until I felt something yet again... the same aura from this morning... creeping around me...

"Must be nice... having people care about you so much..." said a voice in my ear.

I flinched and turned around to see if someone was there.... but there was no one....

"Rikka, what's wrong? ~Quel" asked Raquel who peeped out from my bag.

"I.. I felt like... someone spoke to me..." I said.

What's happening...? Have I gone mad?
I thought to myself,

Who was that voice..? It sounded.... vaguely familiar...

I reached home within a couple of minutes. I made dinner and I finished up my homework.

Then I settled in my bed and turned to face my window.

It must've been my imagination...
I thought as I drifted to sleep.. clutching my blanket.
