Those words annoyingly glared at him as he sat in front of the computer. His shoulder slumped at this. Great, that's just what he needed, a discouragement. He pouted, I guess it is to be expected. I mean who would want a guy with a scar on his face anyway? Not her for sure.
Tears were now starting to form in his eyes.
"H-Hakuryuu, don't be disheartened ne? I mean it's just online fortune telling! I-I'm sure she'll notice you if you try hard!" Aladdin assured beside him. The boy panicked even further as he showed no sign of stopping.
Sniff
Sniff Sob-
"IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT! EVERYONE YOU'RE ALL IDIOT!" He cried even further, shocking all of those who are present inside the computer laboratory.
"H-Hakuryuu! C-calm down will you! Don't let it get to you!" Alibaba who was snickering earlier was now starting to panic with Aladdin.
"Shut up! I don't need to hear that from an unpopular guy like you!" He glared at the blonde.
Snap.
He stood up and grabbed Hakuryuu on the collar, giving him the most intimidating glare he could muster. Which he awfully failed due to the tears that were now forming in his eyes.
"What d'ya say, you crybaby punk?!"
"S-stop it you two!"
"I said you're unpopular! Unpopular!"
"Why you little-"
Ding ding ding dooooong ~
'Ah mic test, mic test ~ is this on? Oh my, look how fabulous my voice sounds on the speakers fufu ~ Ah what's that? I'm so pretty? Oh why thank you ~ No? Announcements? Oh, okay!'
Ugh...
The students halted on whatever they were doing and sweat dropped at the eccentric voice. They might thought that they'd probably gotten used to it but it still shocks them everytime.
'Hmm, what's this?' A shuffling of paper can be heard at the background followed by random falling of objects then muffled screamings. A deadly silence followed before another series of shuffling was heard. Cough cough. 'Kukuku ~ it wasn't so important so let us just let that be- ACCCK! O-Okay okay! I get it! HELP HELP-"
Thud.
Slam.
Crash.
Scream.
Silence.
'Due to some unfortunate series of events, classes are cancelled this afternoon. Students are still required to attend their respective clubs and please avoid loitering around and return immediately to your homes. That's all'
Ding ding dooong ~
Silence ...
"Just now..."
"Yea..."
Sigh.
"Oi Hakuryuu, are you still mad? Stop sulking man." Alibaba grumbled beside him. They were already on their way home after club practice, despite classes being cancelled earlier the sun was already setting when they finished. Aladdin as well had parted ways with them after the announcement leaving them both alone.
Hakuryuu pouted.
"Y'know, you should just approach her and say 'Hi!' or what." Alibaba said. "Or say 'I'm Hakuryuu, I'm pretty rich so let's be friends!' like that—oi what's with that look?!"
He sighed then shook his head. "Whatever, I'll be leaving you here. See ya tomorrow." He waved his hand before turning into a intersection.
That idiotic Alibaba.
As if he could really blurt those words in front of her. He can't even get close to her for a feet or two. He remembered this one time where he tried approaching her. He ended up shaking. How hopeless. He sighed again.
Ahh ~ Senpai... Will you ever notice this poor lad? Oh senpai, my pretty senpai-
Rustle. Rustle.
Huh? What's that?
He abruptly stopped on his track and blinked. What... He titled his head to the left, no sign of any lifeforms just a huge wall painted in white. He then titled it to his is right , just a deserted road. That's strange.
Blink.
Rustle.
He jumped and nearly shreaked upon hearing it again.
C-C-C-COULD IT BE... G-GHOST?
Rustle. Rustle.
A-Anenue—
"AHHHH!"
A loud (Girly) scream escaped his throat as he felt something brushed his leg making him stumble backwards and nearly fell on his butt. Well— he did. LOL.
"I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to disrespect you or any-"
"Meow ~"
"Huh?"
"Meow ~"
Oh.
It's just a cat, he breath a sigh of relief. The cat on the other hand continued to approach him, rubbing its cheek to his pant. Purring and meowing. He silently laughed. How uncool, a cat nearly scared him to death. He leaned over and took it under it's arms, lifting it in the air. It meowed, reaching for his face with it's paw. "Don't scare me like that," He murmured. It only meowed, brushing its cheek on his hand.
Grunting, he put it back to the ground before standing. The cat stared at him with wide eyes as he dusted himself, it meowed again, running itself on his pant. "What is it?"
Rustle.
He flinched. But this time his gaze was forcefully directed upward. Then he saw it, a flash of white, before a huge object fell only a meter away from him, it landed with a soft thud on the ground, shocking Hakuryuu on his spot.
His mouth agape. He could not comprehend what happened until that object moved and stood up straight. Oh it's a human— w-w-w-wait-
Thump thump thump thump.
Goes his heart.
I-Isn't t-that that...
"Oh..." She spoke. "Hello. Lovely evening, isn't it?" She grinned at him. making his heart paltipate louder in his chest. It was as if time stopped still, all he could see was her, the way her hair swayed in the air as she neared him, the way her hand slowly rosed up in the air, the way the setting sun seemed to make all of her being glow, darn... Senpai, stop taking his breath away.
"Do you want some?" She asked. Raising a branch full of peaches to his face.
He blinked. What- don't tell me she-
"Meow," Meow? That's when he noticed the kitten stuck on her other arm. She smiled widely at him before putting the peaches in his hand. She then proceed on taking the cat earlier, cuddling it to her arms. "Don't worry, my family owns that tree. See you around," She smiled before turning her hills and started walking along the path.
He just stood there dumbfounded, awkwardly watching her back as she entered a traditional wooden gate.
His eyes then drifted to the peaches on his hand.
Senpai,
This is a gift from senpai...
