Chapter 11
Sometimes you are nothing but a disappointment…
It has been two weeks since I was lying in bed sick, and I had been sick for about 5 DAYS! I don't know what was up, but I hadn't been that sick since I was about four or five years old!
Now, I had been living with the monkey team for 5 weeks. So, I have about 8 months left with these guys…OH FREAKING JOY!
I walked down the hallway like any other day as I spent my free time doing nothing. What do you expect from me? There was STILL nothing for me to do to pass any time.
Then, Antauri came walking down the hall. I mentally groaned at the sight of one of the most annoying living things I've ever seen! And for some odd reason he has been worse since I got sick.
"Hello, Chiro," Antauri spoke with a smile. I smiled back.
"Hello, Antauri." Hey, if he was going to be respectful and say hello to me, then it's only right for me to say it back to him.
"How was your day?"
Oh crap, here came the conversation!
"I-it was fine. How was yours?"
Ok, call me crazy but it is weird talking to him…and I mean REALLY weird! Like, ever since I got sick I started…I don't know…ENJOYING my conversations with him. Not COMPLETELY, but you know, more than before. If you want some more honesty…I don't really like the idea.
Antauri looked at me for a moment. "Mine was fine as well. Tell me Chiro, is something bothering you?"
Ok, this is where I stopped liking the conversation.
I scowled at the black simian. "What makes you think that? And what makes you think that is any of your business?" I snapped. Antauri didn't seem affected by this, but I knew I was pi**ed.
"I was just offering you someone who will listen," Antauri told me before walking down the hallway. I turned and watched him go, still wearing that scowl.
"I don't HAVE anything wrong with me," I muttered as I walked in the opposite direction. And did he say he was offering me someone who will listen? WHAT A LAUGH! No one listens because no one cares. I'm here because it's my punishment, and I'm not going to become buddy-buddy with someone just because I have to live with them. I'd sooner run away then let that happen!
One week later:
Antauri keeps looking at me funny! WHY; WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME? Ok, I cussed at breakfast because I burned my tongue-totally an accident- and I had five minutes added on to my train. Ok, I'm gonna have to admit, five minutes DOES add up. But that's all I did this morning, and they even knew it was an accident! So, what gives?
One more week later:
Ok, that's it, something is going on! I don't know what it is, but it has to be bothering Antauri enough to keep looking at me like I will run away at any second. …Ok, I CAN run away at any second, but I'm not going to be an idiot and get myself electrocuted!
I finally found some free time and marched up to Antauri's room…but then I got nervous. I have been in his room before, and it is an interesting room, but…I've never really had a conversation like this with him before…or anyone in a long time. I took a deep breath and went to knock on the door.
"Come in," Antauri called before my hand made contact with the door. I blinked, but shook it off, opened the door, and walked through.
"Oh, hello Chiro," Antauri welcomed me with a smile. "Isn't this a pleasant surprise?" I nodded not knowing what to say as I sat down. He must have noticed that I was nervous because he tilted his head with curiosity. "Is something wrong, Chiro?"
I took another deep breath; here goes nothing. "No, not with me, but I think something may be going on with YOU." I didn't say it in a mean way- it was in more of a concerned way. This REALLY took Antauri by surprise…but after a few moments a smile curled over his face.
"I didn't think you would show caring for anyone besides yourself this soon, Chiro," Antauri said with joy. I narrowed my eyes.
"Hey," I objected, "you have been looking at me weird for a LONG time now. This is VERY much selfish." Antauri smile was erased, but I knew I hadn't fooled him by the look in his eye. Wait…fooled him? This WAS very selfish though…
"Well, something has been on my mind lately." Antauri looked at me, the look before was replaced with intensity after only seconds. "And it's had something to do with you."
It was my turn to tilt my head. Ok, I know he had been staring at me and I wasn't the nicest guy to be around, but was I bothering him THAT much? When did I matter to this guy?
"I-I'm not sure what you mean," I said with a stutter. Antauri smirked again.
"Chiro, do you remember how I got this black eye?"
Antauri DID have a black eye, and it was a nasty one too! No one knew where he got it from because he wouldn't tell anyone. I honestly think he annoyed someone so much that they finally socked him in the face. But-it's funny-the team doesn't question why he keeps his mouth shut. Well, I DID! I wanted meet the person who did this...even if I had mixed emotions about it. Yea, sure he's annoying, but I never REALLY found it respectful to punch someone in the face for it…example A of how much of a hypocrite I really am. (I've hit MULTIPLE people in the face before for being annoying.)
"No," I said as if it was a stupid question-which it was. "You won't tell anyone, either."
"Well-," but before Antauri could tell me anything Gibson walked into the room.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you two, but I need to check out your eye, Antauri." Gibson waited as Antauri nodded and stood up.
"Well, Chiro," Antauri stated. "I will speak with you later."
I blinked as the two simians left the room. I sat in Antauri's room alone and pondered on what Antauri would say.
Annime: Here you go!
Chiro: Please review!
