Dear Stupid Boy
The day went on with nothing interesting happening to the class. Sure one student got sent to the clinic for he was stupid enough to play with the chemicals in the laboratory without the guidance of their teacher but that was it. So boring and monotonous was the day of our heroine.
"Damn. There's only one hour left….but it feels like eternity." sighed Kaoru while she yawned and stretched. She then placed her notebook and pen on her desk and stared at her teacher. Yes, stared. At her teacher. It was all that she could do since her brain was shutting down.
Sitting for four hours straight in a boring classroom is very tiring. Really. Their last subject for that day was geometry. The subject taught by the most boring and sleep enticing teacher. Hence, almost the entire class was dozing off instead of listening.
"Boring . . . . I'm sleepy. . . zzzz. . ." said Kaoru to her seatmate, Misao. Kaoru's head was already swaying from sleepiness.
"Yeah. I know right. And it's Jigglypuff who's teaching too." replied Misao who was one of the least affected by their teacher's sleep inducing lecture. Oh, correction, Misao who was the only one not affected by their Jigglypuff alike teacher.
"And so if you add the two angles the sum would be. . . . " Sir Jigglypuff droned boringly. "Please turn your books on page 341 and. . . "
Kaoru dozed off for a few minutes. Her teacher was already glaring at her. Misao tried to wake Kaoru up.
"Kaoruuuu. Kaoru! Wake up." Misao poked Kaoru with a pencil. Kaoru was forcing herself to stay awake but it was futile. She closed and opened her sapphire blue eyes as she tried to blink her sleep away.
"Uh…huh?" mumbled Kaoru sleepily. Misao's effort of waking Kaoru up was in vain.
Misao suddenly pinched Kaoru hard. "OUCH!" shouted Kaoru as she was forced to sit up straight in her desk.
"Page 341? I've already read this stuff."said Kaoru grumpily. After a few minutes, Kaoru dozed off again.
"Uh.. Kaoru. . . the teacher is looking at you. . . Kaoru? . . . "
"zzzzzzz. . . boring. . . sleepy. . zzz"
"Kaoru! Mr. Jigglypuff is looking at you! . . Fine. . sleep on." huffed Misao. "Don't tell me I didn't warn you." Misao then started to doodle at her notebook.
The said teacher approached Kaoru's desk and rapped a stick against it. Kaoru suddenly sat up straight and tried to shake off her sleepiness.
"Excuse me, Miss Kamiya. Have you finished reading the lesson?" asked Mr. Jigglypuff sternly.
"Oh. . yes sir." replied Kaoru as she rubbed her eyes and flipped the pages of her book.
"Very well. I shall teach the theorems next so you should now listen." replied her teacher reluctantly. He walked away and went to the board to continue discussing the lesson.
"Maybe I should just pinch you every five minutes." Misao suggested innocently to Kaoru.
"Pfft. You just want a reason to hurt me, you sadistic person!" exclaimed Kaoru.
She couldn't help it if he was so sleep inducing for no apparent reason. Must be his voice. . . or his lessons. . .or whatever. .
"I am still sooooo sleepy." she muttered sleepily, stating the obvious.
"Go ahead; I'm just here to pinch you." said Misao as she continued on doodling.
Kaoru turned to look around the room to see if her classmates were doing the same as her like fighting sleep. She saw others who were valiantly fighting with tooth and nail to keep awake. To her morbid humor she saw one of her classmates holding a cutter, deliberating whether to use drastic measures in keeping himself awake.
"Oh look, Takeda's trying to cut himself awake." Kaoru snickered.
"Maybe we should warn him. Oooor maybe I can pinch him too!" Misao replied enthusiastically.
They were about to warn her classmate but the said emo classmate was dozing off suddenly. Kaoru and Misao both laughed at him. Kaoru observed some more and saw the others blatantly sleeping and snoring. To her annoyance, half of the class was already asleep while she and the others were trying hard to stay awake.
"That is so unfair!" Kaoru cried.
"What?"
" They get to sleep peacefully while I get scolded by Jigglypuff!"
"Ah well. That's life my dear. Want me to pinch you? You know, just to make sure you're not dreaming or something?"
"Nevermind."
Of course, it's as though some invisible person controlling their fates was having fun in torturing Kaoru, whenever she was the one sleeping off; Mr. Jigglypuff would approach her and force her to wake up. Misao had to wake her up to avoid being scolded by the teacher.
Mr. Jigglypuff was just droning on and on and on and ooooooooooon about something they wouldn't understand even if they were awake and paying attention, he didn't even bother to scold the Rooster head snoring loudly in front of him. Oh how life was so unfair to her.
"Right. Ignore Rooster head when he just snores loudly in front of you while sleeping but harass me and deprive me of my sleep when I don't even snore loudly." she complained to herself.
To her surprise and happiness, Rooster head with his glorious spiky brown hair has his sleep disturbed and he suddenly stirred as she saw someone throw a ball of paper at him. She turned to look at the person who threw a paper ball at Sano when she met lavender eyes.
She blushed and turned her head immediately away from him, away from his lavender orbs and red hair that was oh-so-hot to look . . Wait a minute! What was she thinking? Him! Hot? Kenshin Himura was hot? Oh who was she kidding. Of course he is.
"Bleargh. Misao, I think I'll take your offer in pinching me." Kaoru extended her arm for Misao to pinch.
"My pleasure!" Misao energetically squeezed Kaoru's arm.
"Ouch! Can't you be gentler?" complained Kaoru. She still can't stop thinking of Kenshin.
Disgusted with herself, she tried to think badly of him to try and squash her growing affection for him.
"He's ugly. . . He's stupid. . . He's a weak scrawny git who doesn't know how to play the guitar. . . . And I'm a liar. . UGHH! What the hell?"
But it was an epic failure so she tried writing a letter to him to appease her raging emotions. She flipped her scratch paper to write on the empty space. She started to write it with "Dear Ken. . " but as soon as she finished writing his name she immediately crossed it out and tried a different approach. Scribbling furiously and determinedly, she finished her letter within a span of one-fourth of an hour. Her letter went like this:
"Dear Stupid Boy,
Yeah. I called you stupid. D'you wanna know why? It's because you made me fall in love with you. You're too kind, too much of a gentleman. Too hot, I mean too handsome. You're just too. . PERFECT! And it annoys me to no end knowing I'm a victim of such emotions because of you. Now you have an obsessive and weird and unattractive boyish girl like me as a fan. Yuck! I can't believe I turned mushy like this. Hell I can't believe a guy like you even exists! So I wish you'd just ignore me and stop giving me hope. Though I know I really don't stand a chance with you, just stop being nice! It would make hating you so much easier than with you showing concern for me sometimes. Oh, forgot to ask, how are you feeling? Is your fever gone? Shouldn't you be at home resting instead of listening to Mr. Jigglypuff, I mean Teacher Math, drone on boringly and soporifically? . . . . . GAAAAH! This is way too much for me to handle. Pardon me and my insanity. Oh wait, I forgot my sanity went on a trip to Jupiter and it might take a long time before it gets home back to me. It's just too awkward for me to take a liking to a guy. I blame boredom and sleepiness to this. If only of Mr. Jigglypuff would just ignore me and let me be when I fall asleep instead of rapping on my table to wake me up with his stupid rotting stick. Oh well, good luck with your love life Hope you have a nice one unlike my nonexistent once.
Crazily Yours,
Kaoru"
She reread her letter and she couldn't help but laugh at her own girlishness.
"Ewwww. Who knew I could write such monstrosity. This is almost close to a love letter. yuck." she stated. She could've puke right there and now if she wasn't too embarrassed about releasing her gastric juices and bile in public especially when she's in the same room as him.
Misao then turned away from her doodle world when she heard Kaoru say something unusual, very unusual for her tomboy friend.
"Huh? What monstrosity? Ooooh, did I hear you say love letter?" asked Misao giddily while trying to take a peek at the paper held by Kaoru.
Who knew Kaoru would be someday a victim of Cupid's arrow? Misao couldn't wait to play match maker. But on the other hand, Kaoru couldn't admit that she had a crush on a boy. She wouldn't!
It would be very weird and just plain disturbing for Kaoru to have a crush. She tried to think of an excuse before her friend gets any more strange ideas.
"Err. . no. I said dove letter. . . Just a stupid letter. . . for doves. . so. . a dove letter. Ehehe." Kaoru lied badly. She tucked the letter in one of her bag's pockets.
"Nuh-uh! You said love letter!"
"You need to clean your ears! I said dove!"
"Dove? That's just stupid you know."
"Hey! If I say there's a dove letter, there is a dove letter!"
"Pfft. Dove. Right."
"Yes. I'm right."
"I was sarcastic you know!"
"So?"
"So. . Can I read it?"
"No."
"Please?"
Before Kaoru could deny Misao again, the bell rang and Mr. Jigglypuff bade his goodbye. Misao jumped up from her chair and tried to fix her things while pestering Kaoru.
"Kaoruuuuuuuu. . . Can I please read it?" whined Misao.
"If you say you hate Aoshi, maybe I'll consider."
"No way! You know I can't – Oh, hi Aoshi! Where are you?" Misao's badgering was suddenly interrupted by her boyfriend's phone call.
"Uh, sorry. Gotta go now, bye!" Kaoru grabbed the opportunity to get away from Misao. She stuffed her things messily, zipped her bag and walked out of the room.
She was not only trying to escape from Misao; she was also trying to avoid a white haired and blue eyed maniac wearing a sunglasses who always bother her about helping him in his love life.
"Home. Home. Home. Must get home." Kaoru chanted while walking away.
She did not notice a paper floating away from her bag into the ground waiting to be picked up by an unsuspecting person. The said paper was very important if she wants to keeps her reputation up. Poor her if it falls on someone that has a grudge on her.
"Home gotta go back home before... Ack! It's Enishi! Run!" she squeaked while speeding up her walk to almost a run. Students that were passing by gave weird looks. "Crazy girl" the other students thought. But who's to say she was normal in the first place?
"KAORUUUU! WAIT UP!" shouted Misao as she ran after Kaoru, ignoring the paper on the floor.
Just then, a person picked up the fallen paper and looked for its owner. "Huh. . It's Kaoru's. Hmmm." the person mumbled. The said person was reading the paper and a smirk was growing on his handsome face. "Oh. . .this is nice."
Supposed to be a oneshot but I guess I could continue it. Thank you for reading. :)
