Banana Pyjamas, Irony and Video Games
- Chapter 2 -
"All the more irony,"
On Wednesday, we have this sport lesson. It's pretty pointless - to me - and it isn't fun at all. The girls in my homeroom play Volleyball while I am forced to kick a ball at people in goals. The gym clothes we wear are scary enough, all the girls wear bloomers; bloomers, for goodness sake. I'm pretty sure the reason I'm so blind is because I have to see them run around in their goddamn underwear all the time.
I see Rin-chan, and I mean; her in bloomers? It's all good, she looks superior in underwear. I swear, every time it is sports, about half of the boys in our class ogle at her and I have to peg a shoe or ball at their faces to get their attention. And okay, sometimes I ogle a bit at her, when she is doing really well in the game she is playing. I don't purposely stare at her with weird fantasies of… ugh, just, I won't go there.
I watch Rin-chan serve the ball, and when she hits it into the air she stands on her tippy-toes and flicks her left leg up like she is a ballerina. She looked so cute - the opposite team was blinded by her cuteness, and the ball smacked one of the opposition's players in the face.
I snorted internally, because the girl who got hit in the face began to chuck a whiney fit. Rin-chan backs down and says, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" over and over, her face bright tomato red. I smile - she is so cute and innocent.
I sound like I am obsessed with her, I know, but I don't think I am. I think I admire her in just a… way.
A way as in a friend. Rin-chan is too good for me and everyone knows it.
Later on at lunch, Hatsune-san finds my eating spot and decides to reside there. Rin-chan isn't around, and I bet Hatsune-san probably shooed her off so she can… annoy the hell out of me. But I am smart and went and sat in front of the school office.
In Mathematics after lunch, Rin-chan asks me where I was.
I admired her for a few moments before saying, "I don't know…"
She stared at me for a good 5 minutes until I realised what I had just said. I just probably sounded like a douche bag.
And so I quickly stammered, "S-sorry, spacing out, I was outside the front office…" and she raised her eyebrows at me.
"Ah, okay…" she says, and waddled off to sit down.
Because of detention I got let out late at school. I get detention a lot… I try not to but I think all the teachers have something against me.
They probably gather together for a ritual and chant, "Let's ruin Len Kagamine's life."
I stalked out of school, contentedly, inhaling the cold autumn air. And then my uncoordinated feet trip over an invisible rock and I face-planted the footpath. Ouch.
A familiar voice cries, "Oh! Are you alright?" and I manage to disconnect my face from the ground and glance up. It was Rin-chan, and she looked worried.
I didn't like her looking worried, so I jumped up and said, "Yeah, fine! Just tripping over myself… again…" and I kind of feel like an idiot.
She nods, and then points at my face.
"Your nose is bleeding."
I lift my hand up to my nose and look down. There is blood practically pouring out of my nose. My school blouse was covered in blood.
"…oh…" I murmur, and she scrambles through her bag looking for something. She finds it and pulls the white object out and shoves it into my face… tissues, soft tissues, which smell of oranges. Mm… Rin-chan's tissues… I couldn't help but inhale them when I held them to my nose. I ended up inhaling blood and cringed.
What the hell? I was inhaling the tissues… I face palm mentally.
"Thanks," I mutter, and I felt my face go a bit hot. We both stood in silence awkwardly.
As soon as I ran out of tissues she would hand me some more, and it went on for a good 10 minutes before it decided to settle.
"Are you okay now, Kagamine-kun?" Rin-chan asked when my nose had stopped bleeding. I nodded stiffly. She looks at my shirt and frowns.
"Er…" she says, and I had the thought of taking off my school blouse, but then I remembered it was autumn. Rin-chan begins digging through her school bag again and pulls a yellow thing out. It was a jumper.
Rin-chan handed it to me.
"Here," she utters, and she looks over her shoulders edgily, as if she thought someone was watching us. Oh, right, Hatsune-san.
I look at it and she adds, "You can put this on if you want instead of wearing your blouse."
So I ended up wearing her jumper. It fitted quite well actually; even Rin-chan was surprised.
I had to take off my blouse in front of Rin-chan and I felt really self-conscious, due to my girly-skinny body. I watched her facial expression as I took it off, and she kind of blushed and turned her head away. Am I that ugly?
She quickly handed me the jumper, trying not to look at me and I swiftly slipped it over my head so she didn't end up blind like me from my ugliness. I felt so embarrassed after that.
"Eh, wow, Le- Kagamine-kun, that actually fits you," Rin-chan assumes, and I blushed furiously. She even kind of admitted I was skinny like a girl… sort of.
I heard when she was about to say my first name and kind of felt sad altogether. I wished I could call Rin-chan by her first-name. I'm sick of saying, 'Kagamine this, Kagamine that' - it's confusing.
Rin-chan sees my reactions and stammers, "I-I didn't mean it in that way, Kagamine-kun!" and she frowns. But I forgive her anyway; she's too nice and too cute.
"It's okay… uh, how am I supposed to return this to you?" I ask, scratching my neck. It was itchy. Well, no duh.
Rin-chan thinks for a moment and asks, "If you don't mind, can I follow you home and you can get changed out of it once you get home? We take the same route, anyway. I kind of need it for tomorrow morning in case it's cold…" She trails off and looks at me.
I nod.
"Yeah, okay, that's fine." I reply, smiling. Rin-chan beams at me.
"Okay!" And we started walking the route for my house.
