Note: Okay, guys! Time for a retry of an Angel Beats! fic!

Otonashi looked at the view from his bedroom window. The sky was still dark, as he had once again managed to get minimal sleep thanks to the recurring dreams that had plagued him for months now.

There were several of them, all with similar themes, but the most prominent one, the one that had - at this point - burned itself into his memory, was of a petite girl, platinum locks flowing in the wind, begging for freedom, her beautiful, golden eyes looking up at him, full of longing and regret.

Those eyes.

Those, piercing, lonesome eyes.

They filled him with both an unfathomable happiness, and a sadness deeper than he had ever felt before. A deep content, and a longing he was afraid could never be realized. All these emotins swired around inside him, culminating in a sensation he couldn't quite put his finger on.

Even though he was sure it was only a dream, the vividity of it made him doubt himself, if only a little.

He shook his head, eliminating the lingering thoughts from his mind. Now isn't the time to think about that, he thought, I have to get ready for school.

He turned from the window, slight smile on his face, and began to get dressed.

Well, I hope you guys like the first chapter of my story! I am really looking forward to continuing this! Please review this and tell me what I need to improve on! :D

P.S. My chapters will be short. I am writing this story for the sole purpose of satisfying the lingering feelings of unfulfillment some of you may have, so I find length unnecessary as long as my point gets across.
