I was late. late for school, to be more accurate. I missed my alarm, missed my 6:30 alarm clock by about a full hour , I hastily ate breakfast, gathered my school belongings, locked my house doors, and sprinted as fast as I could to school.
On the way, I saw other late students, but instead of running, they were casually walking with others. they were chatting, socializing, and cracking jokes. some were laughing, others were smiling. I didn't get it. why do people need to socialize? Other people, normal people can feel happiness, and other emotions.
I can't feel anything. for as long as I can remember, I felt no emotions. People shunned me, or didn't invite me to events because of this. I've managed to make a facade though.
Now people believe I'm normal. but the truth is I'm sick of it. It's boring, lame, and too happy. maybe that's how I'm going to live the rest of my life. Dad said mom was like that once, but mom is always happy. At least around dad.
I pulled out my phone to check what time it was, which wasn't a good idea seeing as I was running at top speed, on sidewalk. before it even crossed my mind, I felt like I was shot all across my body. I was launched at least half a foot, while my phone landed screen first on the pavement. My head hurt. I checked my arm, which hurt more than the rest of my body.
I skidded my arm across the sidewalk, and there was a tiny slash where my skin ripped. I looked to see who I bumped into, and I was mesmerized.
shiny jet black hair in bangs, brownish-black eyes, pale white skin, and masculine hands. he looked like an average student, just much more handsome. My heart was racing, I couldn't blink. Adrenaline, lust, happiness, I just couldn't comprehend. Was this my senpai?
"Oh! Sorry about your phone, need help up?" he said, his voice smooth, kind, uplifted.
"You didn't hit your head or anything, did you?"
That's when I realized I was staring. I got up, picked my phone, with small tendrils of broken glass webbing out from the bottom left corner.
"No, i'm fine." I lied
"Oh, you need a bandaid, I could run and grab one".
I felt almost high around him. my hands were cupped, my face must be red as the blood dripping from my cut.
"I'ts fine fine fine." I mumbled
"Okay, we-
" TARO! You Baka, you should be walking me to school, like a gentleman, not flirting!
My head snapped. What? Why? How dare this girl yell at my senpai!
" Sorry Osana Chan, I just bumped into her." Senpai said, albeit weakly.
"Well go and tell her to be more careful! Let's go baka."
My fists were clenched, my teeth gritted, I wanted to hurt her, just put a 10 foot wall between her and senpai.
I decided to start following them, and find out what happens. when I looked at senpai, my heart felt warm, a feeling that I had never felt before, but when I looked at the girl, I felt an uncontrollable rage, I wanted to shove her on the ground.' Ayano, you do something not only will she be hurt, senpai would notice, and he could never love you!'
I decided to just stare at senpai, which was much better. How does he make me feel this way?
Needless to say, I was late for class. I apologized to my teacher and was about to take my seat, but the teacher looked at my arm weirdly.
"Ayano chan, do you need to head to the nurse, your arm is cut." she said, concern hinted in her voice.
since I looked at my senpai, I had forgotten about the cut, which seemed to only be getting worse. Now that I look at it, the pain returned.
"yes please, thank you."
The teacher handed me a note giving me permission to head to the nurse's office. While I was walking I thought to myself, if senpai gave me a rush simply by bumping into him, how would I feel simply being near him, or hugging or kissing him. The mere thought of it made me smile, in a actual, genuine smile. not a fake one like I had been doing for years now. It felt good.
But as I approached the doors to the nurse's office, I saw that girl. I felt threatened, insecure around her, I felt angry just looking at her. It made me want to yell at her, smack her, punch her, wring her neck, stab her, drown her, bath in her blood simply because she yelled at senpai.
"Um, what are you looking at?" The girl said
I was staring straight at her, without even noticing.
"Uhh nothing, I'm sorry." I said, looking at my feet to pretend to be shy.
"Hmph" she said.
Her face was so annoying I wanted to smash it against the wall.
I entered the nurse's office and showed her my wound while telling her I tripped while running, she understood, grabbed a piece of gauze, gently cleaned the wound, she said it was small so It didn't need sewing, she grabbed a bandaid, but numbing agents on the bandaid and put it on the wound.
All the while I looked around the nurse's office, saw anesthetic, syringes, painkillers, gauze, medical scissors, and sewing kits.
Those might come in useful, I thought. 'Ayano! get that out of your head! What are you going to do with syringes anyway, and not even that girl should be hurt for something as stupid as a crush.'
The nurse told her not to stress the arm to much, and you should be fine. I left to class, and caught up quickly, but my mind was on senpai.
During lunch most students either ate inside, on the roof, or by the fountain. I went to grab my food in my locker, I opened it but I noticed the cracks on her phone were gone. I pulled my phone to see it cleaned, almost new. My apps were the same password the same and background the same as it was.
I checked my caller list, to see right next to my mom, was someone named inf0, with the zero. I pressed call, and in less than a second the person picked up.
"Who is this." I blatantly asked
"The person who fixed your phone."responded a female voice.
"Thanks, what do you want?" I asked, I didn't want to mess around, and I was already on the verge of hanging up and deleting her number.
"I saw you stalking an upperclassman today." She said.
"So? What does it matter to you?" I said in a subconsciously threatening voice.
"Oh I would enjoy it if something bad happened to that girl that's always so close to him." She responded
I was excited by the idea of that, but at the same time I didn't want to hurt her all that much
"why would I want to do that?" I asked.
"well first of all that girl, Osana Najimi, Is a childhood friend tsundere of your precious senpai Taro Yamada, second is that Osana believes in the cherry tree myth." She claimed.
"You mean the one where if you confess your love under the cherry tree on a Friday, they are guaranteed to accept your love confession?"
"Exactly, and since she is head over heels with your senpai, she will confess on Friday"
Friday?! That's five days from now!
"Who are you anyway?"
"people at school call me Info Chan."
"I've heard rumors about you. You blackmail girls and sell panty shots to boys."
"The rumors are true"
"You're a pervert."
"You're a stalker. If you need any help from me, just text me a panty shot and I'll do whatever I can. But remember, you have five days until your precious senpai belongs to Osana Najimi. You can eliminate her peacefully, but violence sounds more fun, don't you think?"
And the phone call ended. Lunch time was over, and I hadn't even looked at my bento. Well, while I still have time I might as well get some pictures of senpai to treasure.
Senpai was sitting alone, checking his watch. Even though lunch was over, there was still a couple minutes to spare. I pulled my phone switched to camera, and took a picture of him. I then decided to follow him a little and recorded a video of him jogging to class. He looked so handsome in his running, how fluent, how normal.
The rest of the day passed by quickly. I spent class time wondering how to eliminate Osana rather than paying attention. I had all A's in literally every class, so I didn't care.
After school was cleanup time. While picking up trash, I walked to the incinerator. There were a group of delinquents taunting students taking out the trash. While up to the incinerator and garbage bin, I noticed how these can be useful. The delinquents might pose a problem, however. I'll find a way around that though.
I decided to follow senpai and Osana for a while. Senpai and Osana were arguing until Osana had to go home.'Don't worry senpai, Osana won't bother you much longer' I thought while I smiled darkly. I took some pictures of senpai opening his door. I ran into my house, got comfortable and went to bed.
