HARPED LEE (TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD)
MISFITS
For the past two hours (and still counting) My brain could not still process every bit, every piece of information about the occurrence earlier.
The point that, that, NARUMI sensei, appointed me to sit here is probably, and most likely because no one wants to sit beside this irksome ganguro, is making me upset even more.
"Deep breaths," I inhaled and exhaled for the nth time; Like my mom used to do when she's pissed. It's funny how fate can sometimes be so playful and evil at the same time.
(RIIIIIIIING!)
"alright class, take your lunch now and don't forget to pass your homework next week—"
The teacher said happily, as if he's really looking forward on going out of this classroom. Well, who wouldn't? If I could just avoid this ganguro, like plage… man, I'd do it! But no, I'm sitting right in front of him, heh!, just my luck.
Then... it struck me, its lunch break and I don't know where to eat, unlike in Ouran, we have a very huge canteen, here at Too Academy, the canteen is like, ten minutes away from the school building. Who ever design this building, I do not know why he made the canteen vary far from the high school building.
I was disrupted from my worthless thoughts when the ganguro finally, yes, finally woke up from his deep slumber.
"Dai kun! Where are you going again? We'll have lunch with Shinji chan!"
The pinkette pleaded, like a kid who wanted something from her dad.
"Heh, do what you want," he said lazily, it made Momoi pout in annoyance. "You don't have too, I'll be fine, just go ahead,"
I said with a full smile plastered on ,y face. Man , I think I look so silly.
Before I even finish my sentence, the ganguro was long gone, leaving a stunned and worried Momoi. "A-are you sure? You know I can—" I cut him of because I feel sorry for her, I know she wanted me and her friend to be in good terms but it seems that there's nothing possible about that.
"I'm… fine, please, go eat your lunch or the break will be over." How I wish that Momoi could at least, stay here. I guess I'll be spending the whole lunchtime by myself. "I don't mind though…"
A small smile formed into my lips, I wasn't aware that some people inside the classroom are now staring at me.
"Are you sure? Okay, I'll be back In a—"
"Oi Satsuki!" The ganguro's voice echoed from outside the classroom. Man, he can be a pain at times; can't he just go on without Momoi?
"Gomen Shinji chan! Be back in a few, ja!" With one last, super bow, the pinkette finally left me.
As soon as the duo was out, a bunch, well…let's just say some of my other classmates, to be specific, male classmates, came rushing into my table.
I was about to grab my lunch from my lunch bag (Yes, my Mom has all the time in the world to make me some decent lunch.)
"A-anou, Jinjuji chan… do you mind if I—" he was soon cut of by another guy, I didn't recognize this new comer, maybe he's from another section.
"Jinguji san! Do you mind if I invite you to come join the football club for lunch?" The new guy, who kinda looks like Zero Kiryu, minus the starking silver hair and piercing gray eyes, asked me coyly.
"What the heck?" I raised a brow in confusion, I have no effin idea that the students in Too are so, hospitable; Asking a transferri for lunch and stuff.
"Oi Daisuke senpai! We asked her first!" Said the guys from my class.
The bunch of boys started to pool even more, any moment now I'm going to suffocate. Then, I heard something.
"She's just new here and now she's getting all the attention, what a primadona…" I'm certainly not deaf. I can hear then loud and clear, thank Kami for my good ears. The girls from my class, one with the pigtails, one with the pony tail and one with the unusual kind of hairstyle gave me another death glare.
The banter coming from the immature boys began to irritate me.
"Anou… I'd like to join you but—"
"Now she's acting all hard to get, huh, what would we expect, she's a spoiled brat…"
That's it, Ive had enough… I slowly took my lunch bag and gracefully pulled my chair; thus, making the bunch of boys, and some eavesdroppers, shocked.
"Maybe some other time, thank you for you offer," With one last smile, I swooshed my way out of the classroom.
This is too much to handle, I really hate crowds…
My chest began to tighten as I hug my lunch bag on my way to nowhere. "It's starting again… I thought I graduated from that kind of thing."
My feet started to drag me, I don't care where and I don't care how much further will it last but atleast… at least, I get to be far away from them. (The girls earlier)
As I made my way to somewhere, I finally halted, remembering that I have my IPod with me. "Youkata…" I smile a little as I slowly put the earphones and turn the device on.
One day it's here and then it's gone…
How are you still holding on?
How are you still holding on?
You've felt this way for far too long,
Waiting for a change to come,
You know you're not the only one…
I took another deep breath as I let the lyrics, sink into my brain, my heart, my soul.
I didn't realize that I was walking again, walking to nowhere… "You always run away Shinji, you never learn…"
I entered Too because I was running away… from everything. But I guess I was destined to be like this.
As I allow myself to absorb the music, I didn't realize that I have now reached, the school's stairway that leads to the rooftop.
"A good place to stay…" I didn't mind turning my IPod, off.
Entering the vicinity, I was glad that the door is not locked.
"Cool!" I said to myself. Maybe I'll be having my lunch here everyday.
"You shouldn't be so mean to her! You're mean to everybody! You even sleep in class!"
My earphones are blasting, but I think, I just hear Momoi, scolding someone.
I pressed the pause button, but then… All I can hear is the wind. "Oh well, must be my imagination."
Walking further, I immediately found the perfect place to eat my lunch. I took a peek at my watch, "12:15"
I wasted fifteen minutes for that... "I don't want to think about it."
Positioning myself into an Indian sit, I carefully opened my lunch bag. My heart nearly leaped from joy at the sight before me. Behold, my mom's perfect bento, Jinguji style!
All of my favorite dishes are included, though it's weird that my mom packed food that can feed three persons.
"At least, there's more for me—Itadaikimasu!"
The lunch was so delicious; it made me forget all the weird stuffs that happened to me earlier.
I noted that my mom packed everything I like, egg rolls, bacon, hash brown… I know, it's full of carbs, but the heck I care! The combination is kind of weird too, it made me laugh.
It was nearly twelve forty-five when I "finished" my lunch.
I was so full that it made me sleepy.
Maxing up the volume of my IPod, once again, I tried to remove my vest, leaving me with nothing but my polo shirt. I started folding my vest into a pillow-like fold. My Mom will be furious when sees my lying on the floor. So un-lady like.
You always try to see yourself
Through the eyes of someone else
Too shy to say that you need help
You and everybody else.
Listening to the music made me sleepy even more… "it wouldn't hurt to sleep… just fifteen minutes and I'll be returning to…"
The air started to get thick again, too thick for my asthmatic self to contain.
My nose began to perk up the thick smell…
"Hmmm, smells like maple syrup… I love maple,"
I know it was risky to sleep in the rooftop, but I couldn't help it. After all, the occurrence earlier made me tired and annoyed.
Something inside me is telling me to wake up, but I just couldn't, like something bad is about to happen.
And then it struck me… this feeling, the thickness, the maple, the weird bad feeling. Like someone's been watching me the whole time.
How silly of me to have my POV, in this sleeping state of mine.
I slowly opened my eyes, only to be staring at piercing dark blue ones…
Dark blue… almost navy. Like his hair.
I was about to sleep again, thinking that I was dreaming when the stranger's irksome voice sounded.
He lazily removed my earphones, not bothering if he ruins it or not. You see, I'm a heavy sleeper, and my most vulnerable state would probably be, when I'm sleeping.
My body couldn't react, not one bit.
One minute, I thought I was dreaming, then the next thing, I was being stared again, by the same navy blue eyes.
Haunting…
I noted to myself. It's like, staring into the stranger's eyes would drag me somewhere…somewhere far.
"Oi, that's mine."
I was about to go to sleep, again. But the sound of that ganguro's voice awakened me.
"Oi, that's mine"
Mine? What's his?
I immediately transformed into my on guard mode, not thinking if I was dreaming or not.
"Too much sleep and too much food Shinji."
It struck me again,
I wasn't dreaming… all this time, that ganguro is watching me.
"Aomine Daiki… how could I ever forget your name, kinda sounds like AHO.
The idiot who put bubblegum on my hair eleven years ago…"
"What's yours?" I said in an annoyed tone while picking up my now, crumpled up vest.
A devilish grin emerged into his face, making me gulp in annoyance.
He lazily pointed at the same spot where I was sleeping, two minutes ago.
"There's no name on it," standing up to my full height, I tried intimidating the ganguro, but it's no use.
He's at least, twelve inches taller than me. -_-
Putting my vest, on my shoulder. (IN a boy like manner) I raised my brow and gave him my best I don't care look.
"Whatever-AHO."
One,
two,
three
I sprinted like I never did before.
"Why you, little!-"
Running as fast as I could, I do not care if a teacher sees me or not. It just feels so daym good to finally, say something bad like that haha. You see, I never really curse or anything, but seeing that ganguro made me feel super weird.
"Payback time, Aomine=1, Shinji 1."
I know, sooner or later, that irksome giant is going to get me for this, but I don't care. I never felt this victorious before.
A devious smirk emerged from his face as he finally lay on his favorite spot.
Kami knows how long he's been waiting for that midget to finally wake up and leave his precious spot. He's been watching her from the time she entered the rooftop.
She's unaware that he noticed her presence. Unaware of the intruder, Momoi left him after a good fifteen minutes of scolding.
"Too bright," he said to himself.
He doesn't know why she's here, but something made him allow her to sleep on his favorite spot.
Staring blankly into to clouds, he reaches up his right hand, feeling the air around his fingers.
Eleven years ago, when he's still a kid, he put a bubblegum on the hair of a ginger head girl.
"Kind of looks like her…"
It wasn't long when a bolt of lightning struck his brain (not literally, I'm just over- reacting)
"It is her"
The devilish, of his devilish grins emerged from his face. Like the look he got when he entered the zone.
"Ore ni kateru no wa, Ore ni dakeda."
