"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE,KEL!!"

"JUSTLEAVEMEALONE,KEL!!"

Those words rang through Sunny's head,he had said that before he pushed Kel in the lake. 

'WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO RUIN THINGS?!' Sunny thought to himself,rubbing his temples.

'It would be better if I never exi-'

Sunny jolted awake in his bed....it weirdly looked like how his side of the room looked when he was a kid,his peace wasn't long lasting as someone said...

"Sunny..? Are you awake?" Mari...wait,Mari? Wasn't she too busy sleeping for 4 years?!

Sunny ignored Mari,running straight to bathroom as he looked into the mirror,the reflection wasn't him...it couldn't be.

The mirror showed a boy with ear length black hair,a black T-shirt and white shorts,and he was short. This wasn't him,it only looked like him from the past.

Wait,was he in the past? 

No,this must be a dream,right?

If it was a dream,then he couldn't have looked in the mirror,well,he could have,but he wouldn've seen something ....scary?

Great,he was back in the past,he looked at the year 

1989,October 8th

A year before the recital

A year before Hero's death

A year to fix this

Could he manage to fix all of this?

Mari had forced Sunny to hang out with his friends.

So now,here they were just sitting in silence at the secret hang out spot.

Sunny hoped that there wouldn't be another Kel and Aubrey fi-

Wait,Kel,don't even da-

"..Pink is a horrible color!!"

"Noo,its not!!! You're a horrible color!!"

"That doesn't even make any sense!!"

More rambling.

"Oh, for fuck's sake..." Sunny thought.

Wait,why was everyone looking at him?

Did he say that outloud?

Great.

"D-did you just swear,Sunny?" Mari asked him.

It was clear that everyone was shocked,meanwhile Basil was holding back laughter. He was always pretty mischevious,even though he was shy at the start.

"...Yeah,and?" Sunny replied back to her.

This day was probably so confusing to them.

First,Sunny,who never speaks,swears,and then...talks again.

Laughter could be heard,and you'd easily know who.

Basil. He was basically rolling on the ground,laughing with tears.

Yup,Sunny had...or has weird friends. 

But so was he.

The weirdest hangout ever.

Sunny stood in the bathroom,looking in the mirror.

He hated it all. He hated the fact that he had to save everyone. He hated his father,and his strict rules. He hated how his father acted. He hated the little love he got from him. He hated all the endearment from the others. He was old enough! He was! He hated the nicknames and the headpats and everything. He wasn't THEIR 'little Sunny'!

Sunny punched the mirror,the glass breaking ,the shards entering his skin. They hurt like a motherfucker. He couldn't stand his stupid reflection.

He saw a...can of blue hair dye? Wait,a can of blue hair dye?! He immediately grabbed it and started spraying everywhere,it got all in his goddamn face. He hurridly grabbed something to wipe it off without thinking,and he grabbed the GODDAMN shaving razor,thinking it was like a tooth brush or something,as soon as he put it next to his skin,it cut him,it burned like a mother fucker.

He collapsed to the floor,sobbing,he couldn't do anything right,he somehow CUT himself accidentally. He couldn't even wipe off goddamn hair dye without fucking it up,the blood dripped on to his legs.

He mustered up the courage to look into the mirror and saw...botched hair dye splattered everywhere,either too much or too little in some spots,and a nasty,relatively big cut across his nose,the blood mixing with the hair dye,and a bit of hair dye on his face. He looked awful,he sat down once again,sobbing,waiting for anybody to arrive.

"Sunny? Are you alright? I heard you crying." 

Oh shit. Mari,Mari would have to see just how badly he fucked up dyeing his hair.

A faint 'I'm coming in',was heard. And the door lightly opened.

There was the face of his older sister,her face contorting with worry as she ran to him.

"SUNNY! What happened?!" Mari half yelled,genuine concern in her voice instead of anger.

He couldn't even say something,all he did was sob.

"Don't worry,I'm gonna help you..." Mari said,in a comforting tone.

She helped him back up,and tried to evenly put the dye from the parts where there was too much dye onto the parts where there was too little dye,then washing his hair,and face. The blue hair dye,of course,did take effect,and it looked...pretty good. His thoughts were momentarily interupted by Mari putting a bandaid on the spot where Sunny cut himself(the bridge of the nose).

"If you want,we could go to Hero and Kel's house?" Mari suggested.

Oh,right,he would have to genuinely confront them,who in the future,would,become his target of bullying(Kel) and the other(Hero) die.

He nodded.
