Originally going to be titled 'Fuck You, Imayoshi-san'
"You're sitting next to who?" My friend, Koga Junko, exclaimed, nearly dropping her milk bread, while I calmly stare ahead, looking at nothing in particular, stressfully eating my bread as I thought about how to avoid Imayoshi. Oh my gosh. Is she joking? Sachi-chan should be joking... But she hardly jokes around. Maybe she's trying to be a comedian. There's no way she could score a seat next to the basketball captain. Your confidence in me astounds me, Junko. Should I fake laugh? Yeah... I'll do that. Junko awkwardly chuckles. "Serio-"
"Yes," I interrupt bluntly, still thinking about my master escape plan. Should I pretend that I'm sick? Nah. The nurse will know. I can't exactly ditch unless I erase everyone's memory of my existence, but that's honestly too troublesome. Junko nudged me with a grin on her face.
"Saving all the meat for yourself, huh?" She joked, while I was not amused. "Oh what's wrong? He can't be that bad." Gain telepathic powers and look inside the god damn captain's mind, and you'll understand what I mean, but I did not say that.
"I just have this feeling," I responded vaguely. Junko rolled her eyes. She's so paranoid. I was about to protest that statement, but I stopped myself.
"The guy has his own fan club for crying out loud, and I hear that he's a nice guy-" Well I think he's a sadistic scum bag awaiting for my downfall because I saw right through him. "-and he's got this sexy accent and he's intelligent-" Junko began listing all the good qualities about this guy, and I tuned her out, incredibly disinterested with the conversation about how great Imayoshi is.
"Sounds like you want to marry the guy," I drawl and hear her sputter in weak protest. I slightly smirk.
"N-No!" Junko denied, red slowly creeping into her cheeks. "I-I'm just t-trying to make him sound more appealing to you!" Not that I think that you're lesbian or anything.
...
"W-Where are you going?"
"To the bathroom," I answer, feeling slightly irritated at her thoughts. "Don't bother coming. It's a stinker."
"U-Uh, o-okay..." Ew, gross, dude. Too much information.
As much as I hate to admit it and I never thought I would ever narrate this, but I ended up contemplating life in the girl's bathroom because I didn't want to be bothered. If I headed back to class, there was a chance that Imayoshi would be there and try to irritate me and bug me and talk to me, and I didn't exactly want that. I sigh, rubbing my hands over my face, sitting on top of the toilet cover in a random stall. I never thought that my final year of high school would be making things more complicated than they actually are. I need to try and be less popular, which is weird coming from a high school girl. Suddenly I hear some female students entering the bathroom, laughing and gossiping and making fun of other students.
"Hey, hey! Did you guys hear about the student sitting next to Imayoshi-kun?" Dammit. What is with this Imayoshi hype? What's so great about him (besides his looks)? Man. She's lucky. Hell no.
"Oh yeah! Heard she came to Tōō last year, barely talked to people. Only talked to some girl. Ginko or something?" Junko actually. Get your facts straight. I'm hungry. Eat lunch. You fool.
"Eh~ She sounds pretty weird." I'm pretty sure that there are more loners at this school than me, therefore it is not weird. "Maybe she has some menta-" I'm sorry. As much I as want to hear you diss me, I don't need some false rumor about my mental state. I pressed my right index and middle finger to my temples, and stretched my left arm out to help target the girls and enter their minds (This action is not necessary, but I want to look cool). Fact of the day: Did you know that a person's room reflects their mental consciousness and their personality? Well it does by the way.
Every mind is different in their own way, shape, and form, reflecting all different kinds of personalities and interests. For example, Junko's mind is a bunch of long hallways connected to each other, and usually she has a one track mind, and sometimes it diverges into different thoughts. Finding information in her head is not necessarily hard, but it's difficult, and it's even more difficult when you have to go into the mind of three hormonal, teenage girls.
I enter into the first girl's mind. All thoughts about Imayoshi and guys in general, but mostly about Imayoshi, and I flinch. This is way too creepy and stalkerish to even describe. I see this small piece of paper sitting on the desk, and I go over to pick it up, and to see the words written on the paper: 'Weird girl who sits next to Imayoshi-kun.' I tore up the paper, scattering the pieces.
I traveled to the next girl's mind, and saw a dining room full of food on a long table. Now this is going to be tough to find my information camouflaged as food. Think Sachi. Think. I'm a small topic. Not large enough to be of importance. I'm not a buffet. I crouch on my knees and I see a small lone grape sitting underneath the long table. Found it.
Finally, the third girl's mind… It was white and tidy, from wall to wall and floor to floor, a whiteboard attached to a wall with a few words written on it. I just erased the part where it had said 'gossip'.
I got out of the girls' minds, and I blinked a few times in order to get myself adjusted.
"…What are we doing in the bathrooms?" One girl asked.
"I don't know… Let's get lunch!" The second girl suggests.
"Oh my gosh. You're always hungry…" The girls step out of the bathroom, their voices becoming distant, and I sigh in relief, a headache beginning to appear in my head, and I rub my temples in order to soothe them. When those girls were talking about me, I realize that there may be more Imayoshi-crazed people out there in Tōō Academy...
And that meant more rumors about me.
DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN
