Part 4 -Open mouth. Insert foot.

Hi, its me again. Guess what? The door handle just came right off and landed on my big toe.

Life just rules, doesn't it?
-----
My toes still hurts so i'm limping my way to school. Ah, I see Shohoku ahead. Its not that far really. Just another half kilometre or so. I can do this. One little toe injury isn't gonna keep Rukawa Kaede down.

Yes, i've made it!



Damn, i wish i hadn't.

Rukawa- kun!!!!! What happened to you? Why are you limping? Our poor Rukawa-kun is injured!!! Why must this happen???!!!!!! Dear God!!!

Dear God indeed.

I finally made it to my seat. It was rather hard since all the girls were jumping around me. Hn. The bell has rung but they're all still here, all asking me if i'm alright and asking me if i can still play basketball and then they start sobbing about how no matter what happens, they'll always support and love me.

Yuck.

No, i'm not a sexist person. I just can't stand it when girls throw themselves around. Don't they have any dignity?

That skinny four-eyed teacher comes in and they all reluctantly leave.

I think from now on, I'll have much more respect for the guy.

Basketball practice went on as usual. I was the last person to finish running rounds cause my toe was really bothering me. That girl with the brown hair and eyes is standing at the sidelines again. She keeps on looking at me and holding her hand to her heart and her eyes are opened really big.

She looks as if she thinks i'm gonna die.

Geez, its only a toe.

Its night now and i'm sort of doing my history homework.Can't really see the words properly with what little light a candle gives. I give up at the third essay question and lie down facing the ceiling. Nothing bad really happened today. The toe incident doesn't really count. Its such a small matter compared to losing a job and all. In fact, you know what i think?

I think that maybe my life really is taking a turn for the better. Tomorrow is Sunday so i'll go for this walk in interview. I don't know what the interview is for but i saw the sign outside school so I'll go anyway. Then with the money i earn, i'll but a new doorknob. Soon, i'll be able to afford a new bike. Then a new flat. And my whole life will slowly fall back into place. Just like a jigsaw puzzle.

And I would have fixed it all by myself too.

The place looks nice. Its not too big, not to small. Its not too cold either and the walls are this light orange colour. There's this long table with several chairs around it. Reminds me a bit of the room my father holds his meetings in.
The man sitting opposite from me locks his fingers in front of him, Rukawa-kun, is this your first job interview?

The first was the restaurant one.

Then, have you any experience in this field of work?

What field of work? I still don't know what job i'm interviewing for. Nevermind, he doesn't need to know that.

Why did you choose this line of work?

I lower my eyes respectfully. I never was very independent. Everything i needed was provided for by my parents because we were so rich. I could never contribute anything to anyone. I don't know how to be of use but.....I want to learn.

He has this very thoughtful expression on his face. Heh, i always knew my acting skills were good.

Rukawa-kun, though that was a very deep and expressive speech, I seriously don't see why you need independence to sell your body .

Oh.

Shit.
