iPOD
Another hour in homeroom with the sun shining high and birds singing. The most idyllic time to curl up and fall asleep. And since it was very hard and not to mention uncomfortable for one to curl up while sitting on a chair, one can only hope to place one's head on one's arms and close one's eyes. That was what Kaito was doing currently.
Incredibly bored. That's what he was. The ever nagging but deeply cherished childhood bestfriend was sick at home. And thus Kaito's lack of utter motivation.
But one such as Kaito Kuroba never did allow others to know his feelings. He nestled deeply once again into his arms. The mundane and the ordinary. Life needed a little shaking up.
Most of his fellow students were gathered in circles. Clusters of teenagers talking about the things that only teenagers could be bothered with. A group of girls giggling about upcoming pop sensations, comparing boy bands and such. A few guys on his left were talking about planning a camping trip for the upcoming weekend. Forthcoming fashion trends. Complicated math homeworks. The range on topics were possibly endless for a teenager.
Then one certain topic caught his ear. Latest technology. He recalled the recent package a certain Tokyo detective sent him a day before because Tokyo stores were the first hit by the newest Ipod.
He lifted his head up to peak at their sensei currently reading a magazine at her table. He slowly stood up to pick his back from beside his desk. This was the first distinct move Kaito had done ever since he got inside the room. Most eyes were on him now.
Perfect.
Nothing elaborate really. He went back to his seat after retrieving his bag from the floor and placing it on his lap then went back to his position before with his head on his arms on the desk. Everyone turned their eyes away. It seemed like Kaito wasn't really planning anything.
A while later some could see Kaito plugging earphones into his ears. This caused some concern from his classmates. It was a written rule that phones and music players were forbidden during times that they were in the room. Even though Kaito was a known trouble maker he was never a deliberate and straight rule breaker. According to him, he bends the rules but never breaks it.
He was collecting stares now as he humed 'I can't stop my love for you'.
This attracted sensei's attention.
"Kuroba. You and I both know that we made our rules clear since day one. No techie stuff allowed during class hours. Please give it to me".
"But, sensei, this is the latest Apple I got. I just bought it. It'd caused me a pretty penny. Please don't take it. I mean. Please".
"No exceptions, Kaito. You know better. Hand it over please".
"But-"
"Kaito. Now please".
"As you wish, sensei," he meagerly replied with his head bowed down. He reached from under the table and handed the object of her displeasure.
There were no words to describe the priceless look from their sensei and his classmates. Oh, how we wished he had a camera.
In her hands, their sensei held a shiny red apple with earphones plugged into its juicy insides, a screen drawn on its surface complete with carved 'buttons'. The word 'iPOD' was distinctly written impossible for the eye to miss.
'Let life's unexpected music move you. Move you to happiness.' It said on the screen.
Shaking her head the sensei handed the apple and went out of the room to the hallway. From there, big guffaws of uncontrolled laughter were heard all over the school. And the wave of massive different types of laughs roared all around him. From chuckles, to snickers, to giggles, belly laughs and to simply laughing out loud.
Yes, having a brand new apple was definitely worth the penny
It was normal, sun shining day. Well, as normal as it gets when you have one Kuroba Kaito as your classmate in homeroom.
First of my mini-collection about the ordinary and mundane.
Please review. It motivates me to write faster so you can enjoy it with little time to wait.
I had a grand time writing this just because it's about Kaito.
Kaito and apple!
Thank you!
