Why do these thing always happen to me?

hey, thank you so much for all the reviews^^ *hugs*

Part 2- Screw life.
-----
Class is boring. Sorry if i need to expand my vocabulary. Anyway, I had that same dream again while i was in lalaland during Math. Only this time, the locker room part was a tad different than before. Because this time, it wasn't a locker room, it was that dump of a flat i live in.

Do I sound stupid?

K, nevermind.

Ok, now i'm getting to my point. I think that that locker room-cum-dump of a flat thingy could actually be a sign or something about what happened yesterday night. You know, the talking to the candle part.

Hey, i said don't laugh.

So, maybe I should really start paying attention to that dream. It could just be predicting my future.

Basketball practice isn't boring. Ignore the vocab and move on. In fact, its one of the most interesting things i have ever had in my life. That goes to show you how boring my life is. And about that light issue, there's nothing i can do about it yeah? I guess for the time being, i'll just buy more candles.

Which leads to where I am now. Cycling home from the provision shop with a bag of candles. Forget about matches, Ill use a lighter.

The street is quiet even though its only evening. No wait, the street should be quiet because its evening. Thats the time when all the kiddies go eat dinner with their mommies and daddies and grandpas and grandmas and aunties and uncles.....hmph. I don't need them. Family, i mean. They've made it very clear that they don't need me either. Which is why I moved out. My parents never believed in me. Your dreams are useless' to qoute.

I'll show them. I'll make it to America. I'll beat that toilet brush head(aka Sendoh no B-A-K-A). I'll show them. I'll make it. Ill go to America. I'll be the best basketballer in Japan. I'll show them. And I'll learn how to stop repeating my sentences.

Rukawa! You're late. For the 3rd time this week!

Oh geez, that's observant of you Mr Manager, i couldn't have figured that out on my own.

I had to buy something.

He purses his lips as if I just said I had to clean my toilet. Rukawa, you should know by now that shift times are given because you are expected to start work at those times.

Uh-huh.

A lot of your co workers, especially from the females, have been nice enough to help you sign in to work even though you are not there and yet, you have let them down like this.

Uh-huh.

Though I cannot afford to lose staff at this time of the year, I have given this matter a lot of thought and you leave me no choice.

Oh no.

Mr Rukawa, You are fired.

He can't mean that right.....I mean,i give him so much business from female customers.....he can't mean it...... I think I'm gonna cry.

Oh, don't be stupid, of course I won't.

He hands me my last paycheck and I turn and walk out the door. This is pathetic. Me, Rukawa Kaede , only son of one of the wealthiest families in Kanagawa., has been reduced to a jobless, penniless, lame excuse for a human being who lives in a flat that has no lights.

Screw life.

I'm outside now and all the female staff are crowded at the window, crying and mouthing Good byes.' Then hugging each other and crying all over again.

I wonder if they know my situation is worse.

Oh look, one of them is writing something on the window with her lipstick tube, Good Luck'. Then she smiles and waves.

I flash one last look at the restaurant before i cross the street to my apartment( i live opposite, poor me). Don't get me wrong, I'm not falling in love with that lady or anything. Its just that now at least I know that no matter where I go, I have one supporter. I begin to climb the stairs to my floor.

Yup, it doesn't matter if I lose my job, i'll get a new one. It doesn't matter if I have to stay in a dump, when i have more money, I'll rent out a nicer flat. I shouldn't get upset and put down by all the small things. Even though sometimes it is the small things that hurt the most. I'm not about to give up. There are still so many things i can do if i try. I'll make it. Yeah. My dream will take shape into something real.

I reach my door.

Think of it this way. If this is as worse at it gets, then it can't get any worse.



Shit, I lost my keys.
