Chapter 10
What I bitterly believed.
My Thursday morning. The first thing I saw coming at me was Akashi with his pair of red scissors. In front of the school with Satsuki.
"You dare to leave early yesterday, Daiki?" Akashi grabbed my collar and pulled me down to face him closely. His eyes were wide and demanding. And he was snapping his scissor right by my left ear too.
I glanced to Satsuki, who simply walked by us without a word. Great. Satsuki must still be upset with me. And now… I was alone with Akashi. Even if some students walked by, they ignored us as well since Akashi looked dead scary as of now.
"Daiki."
I believe I gave Akashi a respectful look. "Sorry, I wasn't in the mood yesterday," I told him as honestly as I could.
He pushed me away rather causally and then he lowered the damn scissor. I fixed my shirt and let out a hesitant sigh. "That was quite all right," Akashi continued to stare into my eyes. "For the reason is, when you departed, I already set your punishment in motion since then."
My mouth literally dropped, "Hah?"
[*~*]
"AHOmine!"
I just walked into my classroom and the coach assistant had slapped the back of my head with her usual hard ass paper fan. I tried not to cry out with pain and I turned around while rubbing the back of my head. "What is it now?" I frowned down to her.
She glared and pointed her first left finger very close to my nose. "That's for Suzu-chan!"
…Oh. Was this what Akashi meant by punishment? Shit, did this mean Akashi know about me calling Senpai a 'slut' then? …And what else did he know? Nothing escaped his eyes after all, but maybe he would not be interested in my business either.
Saying nothing to the coach assistant, I lazily went over to my seat that was located in the very center of the room. And the moment I sat down, I sulked just as Kise jumped onto his assigned seat, which was in front of my desk.
"Aomine-cchi!" Kise whined, leaning forward to me. "I can't believe you said that to Suzu-senpai!"
"Uh-huh," I only returned a jaded look.
I took my phone to check it out of boredom and maybe just ignore Kise. I had it silent yesterday afternoon and never checked it until now. When I opened it up, I saw I had a lot of missed text messages. My eyes peered at the names as I scrolled down.
There were messages from Imayoshi, Wakamatsu, Hyūga, Kiyoshi, Izuki, Okamura, Hanamiya, Mibuchi, Fukui, and Moriyama. That was it. Giving no shit of what they wrote, I deleted all of them.
Because I bet Imayoshi-senpai was just going to mess with my head. That idiot Wakamatsu must have been really bored to even bother to send me a text. I could understand Hyūga-senpai sending me a text. Kiyoshi-senpai too. As for Izuki-senpai, he probably used this chance to use one of his lame jokes. Okamura-senpai was not worth mentioning. Hanamiya-senpai probably just wanted to give a sarcastic remark. Mibuchi-senpai just loved to play the role of being a nagging mother. Fukui-senpai probably just wanted to fool around too. And Moriyama-senpai was just jealous. Ha.
Yep. I think I was already getting used to this. I did not give a crap of how everyone was going to throw in my face.
Because I know what I said was wrong. Hell yeah, I was admitting it! I didn't need anyone to remind me that it was wrong… but people kept 'hinting' this fault of mine every other hour since this morning as time went by. Like, Tetsu almost seemed mad. Kagami called me a loser. Murasakibara was surprised with my behavior, calling me a terrible person than he ever was. And Midorima gave no comment on the matter since he was too worried about his lucky day.
…I bet Satsuki told on me. Yeah, that had to be it. Not that I could blame her though and I was only assuming.
[*~*]
My Friday morning… Senpai didn't come to the club yesterday. I was bent on apologizing, so I went to go find her in her classroom on the second floor. Wherever that was.
Before the first bell, I took the first step up the stairs until…
"Aomine, going to skip your classes so soon?"
I heaved out a heavy sigh and turned around on my right foot on the first step of the stairs. Midorima was just walking by, but he had stopped to look straight at me. "I'm not skipping classes," I told him, sounding arrogant. "I'm gonna look for Senpai."
He pushed up his glasses and gave me a long serious look. "…The horoscope for you today mentioned you should lay low," he uttered, as if he knew I was talking about the brunette Senpai. Everyone knew I called Hisasuzu 'senpai' too.
Rolling my eyes… I actually found some truth in Midorima's words over the obsession of horoscopes. Senpai might be angry and I wasn't ready to confront her yet. I guess. So, I walked back down and went around Midorima to head to my classroom.
[*~*]
Akashi gave me one hell of a punishment. Seeing as Senpai did not come for Friday's activities today, more than half of the basketball members were giving me looks. It was too obvious not to notice. But what could I do?
…Apologize, I know! I got the message for the last time and I would make an apology as soon as I see Senpai! Let the day end already! This crap was killing me!
[*~*]
It was now Saturday. I didn't even bother to try to look for Senpai this time since I saw there was no use. It was like she knew how to hide from the whole world or something. That must be some talent, eh?
By the time the bell rung for lunch hour, I was in the men's restroom. Should I eat today? I felt exhausted as hell. Too troublesome to find anyone to eat with in the cafeteria. I bet everyone had his or her own bentos by now too. …No way, Satsuki would never have her own bento. She sucked at cooking. And so does the coach assistant.
…I bet Senpai sucked at cooking too. I would bet a million of dollars on that one if I could.
Sighing, I walked out of the restroom and at the same time… I saw Senpai walking out of the women's restroom next door. We ended up starting at each other first for a mere second, but then she rolled her eyes and walked off.
…Fuck you, man! Why did you roll your eyes for?!
Then again, I had no time to think like that, so I followed her… just hoping to apologize… but I recalled the way she rolled her eyes at me. Was she… still mad?
We both reached to a hall with window glasses. I was quiet for too long and it would only be awkward to call out and tell her I was sorry, right? But whatever, I should do it now before she thinks I was stalking her.
And then Senpai had begun to touch the vending machine. She took coins out of her skirt's pocket and dropped them in. I walked slower and saw her pressing a button. It was like she had forgotten about me when I noticed her snack of choice was stuck in place after it moved a little. She tried to shake the vending machine and her lips were pouting.
I tried not to sneer at her reaction. Reaching out, I shook vending machine as hard as I could and Senpai moved a few steps back as if the vending machine would fall over her. The bag of chips finally fell. Seeing that she was completely stunned, I moved down to get it for her.
Oh… this was probably my chance. Holding the bag out to her, I said, "Here."
She avoided directly looking at me and she stared at the bag only. …Don't tell me she wasn't going to take it from me! …Wait, never mind, she just took it rather slowly.
"Sorry," I said, but then her voice overlapped my own when I said it. Did she even hear me? And what did she just said? …Was that a 'thanks' she gave just now?
Senpai looked up and questioned, "What?"
Rubbing the back of my head, I wanted to grumble because I didn't want to apologize again. I know this wasn't hard or anything, but… I don't know!
"I just wanted to say 'sorry' about the other day," I almost mumbled as I looked away. "I didn't mean to call you that word, senpai."
Was that good enough?
After a pause, Senpai then responded coldly, "I don't care."
I snapped my eyes to her, although she had already walked off and ignored my gaze.
I… I couldn't believe her! I mustered myself to give her a proper apology twice and this was what I get from her?! I wanted to kick the vending machine just to vent, but it was the school's property, so I couldn't dare myself to do that. Maybe someday in the future.
"Shit," I cursed under my breath, behind my gritted teeth. Everyone gave me a crappy morning since Thursday and see what I get in the end? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Time to forget about this shitty crap. Forget about lunch, forget about Senpai and forget about her again! Time to skip classes for the rest of the day, for all those times I didn't skip ever since Thursday!
[*~*]
I most likely was having one hell of a good nap. I didn't hear a single shit until someone shook my shoulder. Someone called my name too and I slowly brought myself back to the reality I wanted to leave behind once and a while.
Hearing myself mumble, I tried to open my eyes. "Wake up." …Was that Senpai's voice? What the hell was she doing now?
Opening one of my eyes first, I slowly looked for a face. Yeah… it really was that brunette girl. Why was she bothering to wake me up for? Did she realize her mistake and came to say 'sorry' or something? Eh, no way. She was too stubborn for that. I could tell. But I might not know if she would either. She had a messed up mind after all.
Maybe it was just a few seconds when I finally opened both of my eyes and I ended up staring at Senpai's quiet face. She blinked at me and I noticed how dark and long her eyelashes were. She… looked really pretty from down here. The way her long hair hung from her head tilting over to me and the wind passing by her long bangs…
Ahh, shit.
Senpai waved her hands in my face, making me realize I shouldn't be staring at her for too long. "What time is it?" I asked, sitting up as I groaned tiredly. Or at least try to sound like it.
"It's already past five," she replied.
Oh really? Dang… I napped that long?
Senpai moved to sit on her ankles and remained by me. I rubbed my right eye and yawned. I was about to stretch until Senpai said, ""Momo-chan was trying to call you. Learn to pick up if you have a cell phone, will you?"
Satsuki called me? I must have put my phone on silent the whole day. "Don't start nagging me about that," I sighed, reaching into my pocket. I took my phone out of there and checked it out.
"It's only true! What a waste for you to carry a phone around. If I had a phone, I will always answer!"
Yeah right. No one was perfect like that.
I ignored her and stared at the message Satsuki sent me. She had written at least six, but I just read the last one that was sent about thirty seconds ago. Satsuki had written: Aomine-kun, please bring Suzu-senpai with you so we can all meet up at the front gate with Ri-chan and possibly Imayoshi-senpai. Wait there and don't go anywhere, okay?
I realized Senpai had already stood up and she was saying, "Come on, let's go."
Sighing again, I put my phone away and moved up on my feet slowly. So, I was supposed to take Senpai to the front gate? What was Satsuki planning this time? …Was something happening today? What about the Basketball Club?
"Okay, I'm ready," I walked first. Doesn't matter what Satsuki planned. I would just go along with it. "And Satsuki just texted that we'll meet up with her and the coach assistant in front of the school…" Not sure if Senpai already knew about this though. I was just saying.
"Okay," I heard Senpai said, following me.
Her bell was ringing… oh right, I almost forgot she had that thing. It was started to sound normal and rather… pleasant. It was like I would know she would be around when I hear it. Obviously, but I wasn't sure how to even phase that.
Well, either way, I like it!
As we continued to walk, her bell kept ringing all the way until we finally reached to the first floor, out the lobby, and then by the front gates of school. I had gone over to lean back against a pillar and Senpai was facing the school in the middle of nowhere.
"Wait a minute!" she suddenly looked over to me. I was too bored to look back though. "What do you mean we're meeting up with Momo-chan and Aida? You're not coming to my home too, are you?"
"How should I know?" I could only shrug at her while giving a dry look.
"Damn it," she faced me while mumbling to herself.
What the fuck is her problem?
"You really don't want me to know where you live, do you?"
Senpai snapped at me, "Well, duh!"
I rolled my eyes at her because I was getting tired of her nonsense. "Like I would care where you live. You're thinking too much, senpai. Or are your parents that strict? How would you ever get a boyfriend with them controlling you like that?"
Why did I even have a crush on someone like her?
"I don't need a boyfriend!" she said rather angrily. I gave her look, maybe a surprised look at the tone of her voice… and the part about her not needing a boyfriend. "And my parents aren't controlling! They just don't trust people!"
Like I believe that… but my thoughts lead to one thing on my mind. "…Like you?" I questioned her, feeling my eyebrows narrowed.
Senpai now stared at me silently. I had no idea what she was thinking about. Heck, I never knew what was going through her mind. She was so weird and almost unreasonable. I thought she was done talking to me until she queried with suspicion, "Do you have a crush on me, Aomine?"
Ah, fuck that. Why all of the sudden? I felt almost nervous for answering, but I looked away and said, "Don't make me laugh." Seriously, in no way I was going to answer that. What a silly question. No, no, and no. While I was thinking that, Senpai had punched me pretty hard for a little girl and I turned my head to her. "What was that for?" I gave her a light glare.
"Shut up!" she yelled.
What the hell? Why was she getting mad for?!
"You're being bad-tempered all of the sudden, senpai. Don't think I'll let you hit me without a reason. Even if you're older than me and even if you're a girl."
I felt myself moving forward, maybe threaten her for hitting me out of nowhere. But then she shouted, "You rapist!"
My voice just changed with unexpected anger. "What did you just call me?!" I demanded, walking closer.
And why 'rapist'?! Where did that even come from anyway?!
"It just slipped out!" she defended herself, back away while still looking rather angry at me.
Eh? It just slipped out? So, if she could get away with something like that, why couldn't I get away from calling her a 'slut'? I knew it was wrong to think like this, but calling me a rapist was uncalled for!
"A-o-mi-ne-kun!"
I stopped in my tracks as Satsuki came in between me and Senpai. I lost every thought when I saw Satsuki frowning at me. "S-Satsuki…" I blinked, feeling my head cool down.
She pouted now, "I told you two to wait here, not start up a fight!"
"Gosh, Aomine," now came the coach assistant's voice.
My eyes glanced over to the coach assistant, who was walking toward us with Imayoshi-senpai. …Okay, what was going on? Why were we standing here for again?
…Ohhhhhh. Senpai mentioned something about going to her house last time. Was today the day for Satsuki and Aida-senpai go see Senpai's parents? Something about asking for permission, I think.
Frowning, I said nothing else and turned my body to face the street first.
It was then Imayoshi-senpai remarked with a chuckle, "Aomine, I never seen you so mad at a girl before. I hope you'll forgive her… whatever you two were talking about."
Scowling to him, I said, "It's nothing." I rather not talk about it and I was sure Senpai wouldn't want to either.
But then she stated, "I called him a rapist." I could have swore a vein popped in my head as I glared over to the brunette. "But I didn't really mean it… I swear…"
Senpai was starting to sound a lot like me now. Why was everyone so forgiving toward her and not me? Was it because she was a girl? That was pretty sexist of everyone!
As I had thought, the coach assistant did not react to Senpai's words. Instead, she only said, "Okay, well, let's get going."
We all marched out of there. I was walking on Imayoshi-senpai's right while Satsuki was over on his left. I didn't like the combination of the three of us in a line together since we all knew Imayoshi-senpai liked to talk a lot.
"Aomine." And there he goes, already saying my name and probably just wanted to say something to bore me. I didn't bother to look at him, but I could see his head turned to me. "Did you apologize to Suzu-chan already?"
Snapping my eyes to him, I hoped Senpai was not hearing this right now. I didn't want her to know people had been nagging me to apologize to her, because I truly told her I was sorry from the bottomless pit of my fucking heart. Luckily, Senpai was still talking to the coach assistant, who both were ahead of us.
"Of course I did!" I almost retorted, hissing at him. Imayoshi-senpai snickered and he tilted his head to Satsuki, who smiled in return. "What's so funny?" I demanded quietly.
"Nothing," Satsuki winked. She exchanged looks with Imayoshi-senpai and they both were almost giggling about something.
…What the hell was that about?
[*~*]
And here we were, standing in front of a dark green, two-story house. Senpai's house. Nothing special. I was behind the group, standing behind Imayoshi-senpai while all the girls were at the doorsteps.
After unlocking the door, Senpai opened it and called, "I'm home…"
Since I was the tallest, I saw a little boy who appeared in our view. The kid must be in his elementary school or whatever. He had short brown hair and blue eyes that were just like Senpai's. The kid was looking at me too and he had the most unusual expression on. I couldn't even tell what he was thinking. Damn brat.
And then the kid ran off and said something as Senpai closed the door shut. She chuckled nervously and looked toward us. "Give them a moment," she noted.
"Why, what's wrong?" Satsuki asked, slightly tilting her upper body back and forth.
"…I rather not say," Senpai replied as she turned her head away.
I could hear people moving around in the house, as if they were running away. I frowned. Senpai must have a lot of siblings if there were that much footsteps in the house… who must have Senpai's trait of hiding from strangers.
Too bad I couldn't compare myself to Senpai… because I was an only child. I wondered how it was like to have brothers and sisters living in one little house? …They must have fun all the time. And they probably fight and argue too.
Suddenly, I felt glad to be born an only child. It would be so irritating if one crybaby interrupted my quiet morning.
After the footsteps were gone, Senpai opened the door again and called, "I'm home."
I blinked when a little girl now stood down the path of the lobby. She seemed slightly older than the boy that showed up and she pointed right at me. Her brown hair was long down to her back and it seemed silky. Her blue eyes were glaring though. "Aomine Daiki!" the little girl shouted.
…How did she even know my name? …Oh, Senpai does talk bad about me. That would explain why the little girl looked so pissed. Almost cute. And I smirked and she glared with a pout.
The little girl ran to approach us, however Senpai dropped her school bag to hold her sister back. She rushed to kick her own shoes off while struggling with the little girl. Then Senpai was saying loudly, "Okay—um, Momo-chan and everyone, go and wait in the living room!"
While the little girl was spouting out random words that made no sense, Imayoshi-senpai grinned at me. He wondered, "How does she know Aomine?"
Imayoshi-senpai was obviously hinting the way I treated Senpai, which might have caused her to tell her family about my behavior. But I ignored Imayoshi-senpai and just watched Senpai trying to take her sister away from our sight.
Senpai picked her sister up and headed to the stairs on the left. "Sachiko!" the little girl cried angrily. For a second there, I nearly forgot Senpai's first name was Sachiko. "Let me kick his ass for you! Didn't you hate him?!" the little girl uttered.
"SShhhh!" Senpai hushed right after, still going up the first steps of the stairs.
Now it was the coach assistant who grinned to me. Did I look like I care?
As we entered the house, Senpai and her sister fell down the stairs, which caused me to curiously lean forward to see if they were okay or not.
Senpai was groaning in pain as the coach assistant was the first to rush to them. "Suzu-chan!" the coach assistant lowered down to help the little girl up.
"Everything's fine!" Senpai had said as she was fast on her feet. Then she grabbed the little girl's wrist when she looked like she wanted to run over to me yet again.
We all stared blankly as another girl walked pass Senpai just now. She seemed younger than Senpai… probably my age. She was slightly chubbier than Senpai and she was probably a C-cup size. Her brown hair was as long as Senpai's and slightly wavier too. As for her blue eyes… she seemed more of a rebellious girl. And more daring in some sense… but that was all I could tell.
Ah. Senpai just jumped over the girl who was probably my age and all of the three sisters fell to the ground together in front of all of us.
"Sachiko!" the girl my age glared. She was on her stomach and she snapped her head to Senpai. "What the fuck?! I just wanted to greet your new friends!"
Senpai could only respond with a nervous chuckle. And then Satsuki started to laugh rather happily. I even heard Imayoshi-senpai laughing lightly while the coach assistant seemed worried about the girls on the ground.
As for me… I didn't know what I was feeling about this scene. But… I knew for sure Senpai was a bit adorable trying to stop her sisters from 'killing' me.
[*~*]
Bored…! I was so fucking bored!
To speed things up, the coach assistant and Satsuki were speaking with Senpai's parents. Imayoshi-senpai would speak a few words. They didn't talk long, but I was bored out of my mind!
Before I knew it, they were done talking. I think. Senpai's father walked by me and I noticed his glare at me. Like, seriously? What the hell was that for? I frowned to him and he just left quietly without a single word. He didn't even talk much either, if I remembered correctly. He was the man of the house, he should be saying stuff instead of having his woman do all the talking. I see Senpai got the stupid trait from her old man!
Soon afterward, Senpai's mom left too.
And that little girl who wanted to kick me earlier came and childishly looked up to me. I was just coming back from feel bored as I asked, "What?"
She pouted and put her hands on her hips. Before she could say a word though, Senpai grabbed her by the arm and covered her mouth. I looked to Senpai as she said, "Okay, now that my parents are okay with all of this, please leave." She was saying this directly to the coach assistant though. Not me. Senpai had been avoiding looking at me this whole time in the house.
Of course, I hated her just ignoring me. I knew I doubtlessly deserve it. Yet, I almost demanded, "You want us to leave that badly?" I felt pissed about Senpai's attitude so much. It was so… vexing!
Senpai now directed her eyes to me and she was glaring. I hated that glare. She could really glare and it easily made me want to just snap right back at her. "Yeah," she told me, answering my question. "Especially you, get out." Such an ugly attitude and an ugly face.
Her sister got out of Senpai's grip and also encouraged, "Yeah, out you go!"
These girls… they were getting on my nerves. I tried to remember it was my fault to begin with, but did I seriously deserve such ugly faces with bad-mannered words?
It hurt more just hearing Senpai saying it to me. The way she said, especially you…
"Hey!" a new voice cheerfully interrupted the mood I detested. My eyes were now on another girl… just how many sisters are there?! She was pretty much in the center of all of us, getting attention. Her hair was shorter than the other girls, the length of it only reaching to her shoulder blades. Her blue eyes were much more welcoming than the other girls so far. And she wore a very happy smile. "My name is Aya! Pleasure to meet all of you!" And she seemed slightly older… with an A-cup size.
"And I'm Saki!" the chubby sister stepped right up next to the older one.
The youngest sister looked baffled, "Eh? W-well, I'm Mami!"
Satsuki started to giggle as she greeted the sisters with her eyes first. "Hello, Aya-san, Saki-san, Mami-san!" Satsuki said and reached her hand out to shake hands with them. "I'm Momoi Satsuki!"
Couldn't we just go home? While I was thinking of that, the coach assistant and Imayoshi-senpai had already introduced themselves to the girls. Should I do the same? …Nah.
But then Satsuki nudged me with her elbow and I gave her a dry look. "This here is Aomine Daiki," Satsuki unnecessarily introduced me.
"We know," the three girls said in unison. I stared at them quietly. That Aya girl was still smiling, Saki was seemed mischievous all of the sudden, and Mami was still studying me with a pout.
Senpai must really, really hate me for these girls to know my name. How did they know though? …Oh yeah, Senpai had that memo thingy of the Basketball Club. That made a whole lot of sense.
I then noticed Senpai leaving the living room and out the front door. She looked… lonely for a second there. What was wrong now? The sound of the door opened and closed with no hint of anger.
That little girl named Mami ran to my side and pinched my right forearm. I tried not to make a sound, but that pinch seriously hurt! By the time I glared to her, Aya had pulled her away. "Mami, behave, silly!" Aya had a half smile on to the little bratty girl. Then she waved at me, "Sorry about that, Aomine. If you treat Sachiko better, Mami will stop."
Imayoshi-senpai put his elbow on my shoulder and I frowned to him. "That's what we have been telling our friend here too," Imayoshi-senpai chuckled. I brushed him off and said nothing.
Saki let out a mocking laugh, "Ha! Whatever! We'll all die together eventually anyway! No point trying to talk some sense to him!"
Aya slapped the back of Saki's head and grumbled, "Saki, stop saying random shit to Sachiko's friends. Keep your imagination to yourself."
"But it's true!" the chubby girl remarked, sending Aya an honest, but glaring face. "Just you wait! I'll destroy all of the human race!"
Satsuki was giggling uneasily at Saki's threat while coach assistant bowed out of nowhere. "Well, we should be going," the coach assistant told them with a small smile.
"So soon?" Aya beamed. "We're just getting started!"
"On another day then," the coach assistant nodded, returning a smile.
"Yeah!" Satsuki grinned joyfully.
I watched the coach assistant walk off first and Satsuki was still chatting with the sisters. Since it was time to leave, I wanted to head to sleep badly. The sound of the door opened again as I gave Imayoshi-senpai a curious look, "What did you guys do in the club today?"
"If you hadn't missed it, you would know," Imayoshi-senpai smirked at me.
Sighing, I didn't give a damn as long as it wasn't anything important. The voices of the coach assistant and Senpai were going on and I made my way out of the living room. My eyes soon saw Senpai hugging the coach assistant out of nowhere.
…Why was Senpai hugging Aida-senpai? I could barely see the expression on Senpai's face as the coach assistant uttered, "S-Suzu-chan? What's wrong?"
While Senpai did not respond, she just hugged longer with her eyes closed. But then when she opened them and saw me, she backed away and pouted to the coach assistant. "Nothing," she replied to the coach assistant. "Sorry about that, Aida… haha…" Senpai laughed awkwardly, almost blushing.
I was always wondering… what was going through Senpai's head? Well, instead of wondering about it all the time, Aomine Daiki… you should just talk to her properly or something.
But today was not the day. I wasn't in the mood. Maybe not tomorrow either. Or maybe there would never be a day for Senpai and I to ever talk properly at all.
That was what I bitterly believed.
Author's note: FINALLY! I can finally move on with the story!
Now, let me ask you readers something… about the way I chose to write this… Was writing in the OC's point of view and then in Aomine's point of view make the story too slow? Should I continue to do that in the future? O.o Please do let me know what you think. I may continue to do this, but I feel the pace would be too slow… and I would love to hear your opinions. :D
Thanks for reading!
