Screw disclaimer. Inoue isn't going to read this anyway.
My life officially sucks.
I spent my last day of summer vacation mopping the floor in my school's hallway. Meanwhile, the other probably partying and getting drunk before the first day of school starts tomorrow. Yes, I can see now, Akagi and Kogure partying, making out with some random girls. Yeah, right.
"Wake up, moron!" Hanamichi's voice echoed through the hallway. "We're supposed to clean this dump, not drooling it all over the place." He kicked Rukawa in the stomach, earning a grunt from the latter.
"Who made you the boss?" Rukawa replied as he wiped his saliva off his mouth.
I cringed. Here by my side, there stood my teammates, Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi. Could not life get any more miserable than hanging out with those losers?
"Couldn't you two get along for just a second?"
I pushed the mop back and forth, making sure every spot on the floor has been cleaned while the other two continuing their argument.
"The principal wants to see you," The secretary said in her monotone voice.
The room was filled with a smell of authority and I didn't like single of it. That's when I saw it. Three files neatly stacked on the table. He took one of the files, which has my name on it. Images appeared before my eyes. I'm going to get expelled. We all going to get expelled. I can't believe I'm freaking out! I am an ex-gangster, for god sake!
"You want to see us?" Hanamichi asked. I glanced at Hanamichi, admiring his calmness. Wait, did I just say that?
"Take a seat."
"Sir, I want you to know that-"
"It doesn't matter what the three of you going to say," the principal said without looking up from the file.
There was an utter complete of silence before he looked up at us.
"You disgraced the Shohoku High and now you're going to clean this place up the whole summer," he glared at us as if we were just a waste of human flesh.
"What?!" We said in unison.
"But Sir, I have to study for the finals" I lied. "It's my last year."
"Well, you probably should have thought about that before destroying the school property," he said, giving me a cold stare.
At least it was better than getting expelled.
Never thought vandalizing the school property would get us in huge trouble. It's not like we were smoking or dealing drugs in the school. The principal is making mountain out of molehill with our problem. Wonder what's up with that old man, anyway?
"Earth to Mitchy," Hanamichi said, waving his huge hand in front of my face. "Are you still with us?"
I slapped his hand away. "What?"
"We're done."
"We are?" As I looked around, checking the floor.
"So," Hanamichi began as he took our mop and threw it into the janitor's room."Can we go home now?"
"Yeah, I think."
"Great," the red haired grinned, walking toward the entrance door."See you guys tomorrow, at school." He laughed along the way.
Right, tomorrow. School. How can he say that? Didn't he get sick of seeing the school almost every day of summer? I guess no one knows what's going on in his small thick head.
"Come on, Rukawa," I shooked his cold-shoulder who was already on the floor sleeping. "Time to go home."
He muttered something softly, blinking his eyes a couple of times and pushed himself up from the floor. He then, slowly walked toward the door. Forgot that I was there, he closed the entrance door and locked it.
Well, that was weird.
Wait, how the heck am I going to get out of here?! That son of a bitch.
"Rukawa!" I banged the door."Open the damn door!"
"RUKAWA!!"
