Sempai, I'm Sick : Chapter One
Tick, tock.. goes the annoying hands of the wall clock piercing through the depths of this four-walled hell-like mathematics classroom. This is boring, dull, tedious, whatever you want to call it. Even worse, this motor-mouth professor is blabbering about this and that and none of those things are clinging to any part of my exhausted brain. Oh well.. I guess a little daydreaming wouldn't hurt. And as if my brain suddenly agreed with me (which is very unsusual), a subject popped inside my mind as I looked at the dates in our class calendar.
Bull's eye. November 13, today. Tomorrow? Oh fuck. November 14.
What's the significance anyway? What's in a '14'? Well, for a fact, it's my jersey number. Hehehe. Whatever. I'm serious now.
14..
Three months ago, on the 14th day, Kaede and I got our lovesick butts into this intimate more-than-friends relationship. In the first place, we were never considered as 'friends' anyway so it's quite a jump start for both of us, don't you think? Whatever.
So tomorrow is our, what they call, monthsary. And guess what? I still don't have a fuckin' gift for him. It's not that a whole day with him isn't enough. It's just that this diabolic boredom math class is giving me pushed me to make this third monthsary of ours very special.
"Sempai?" with that, my thoughts drifted away like a whirlpool, forming the blurred image of a boy in front of me, getting clearer and clearer every second.
"Sempai.." he called out again.
"Kaede.. What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you."
"Oh.. Ahaha.. Sorry.. I guess my mind strayed off again."
I stood up and I threw my arm around his shoulders, "We better get going now. Akagai will kill us. We're fuckin' late again."
"Your fault."
"Whatever, kiddo. Don't make it sound like it's all my fault. Blame math class."
As soon as we got to the gym, we ran to the locker room and hurriedly changed into our practice clothes. Akagi passed a shiny basketball at me and I settled on my spot for an individual training.
Kaede.. Where is he anyway? I kept on wondering. I haven't seen him shoot some hoops and execute those suave moves of his. Instead, I saw him on one of the benches, dozing off. What the hell does he think he's doing?
I sighed as the ball I just threw went inside the ring. I guess I'll find out what's wrong with my ice prince later, after our practice.
"Oy.. Get up, Kaede."
"Hn."
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
"I was sleepy."
"Yeah right. During basketball practice? It's like putting 'Rukawa Kaede' and the word 'noisy' in the same sentence. Too impossible."
"I don't joke, sempai."
"Right."
I extended my hand to him, "The practice ended hours ago and we better go home now."
He nodded, got his things and we walked home.
On our way, I was thinking of bringing up the topic of our monthsary tomorrow. But it seems that time flies.. and really fast at that. The next thing we knew, we're already in front of Kaede's house.
"I'll see you then, Kaede."
He nodded. I gave him a quick kiss and we parted our ways. I sighed as to the fact that I still don't know what to give him tomorrow. Upon arriving home, I went straight to my room and plopped myself on the bed. I grabbed my phone, still indecisive if I should call him or not.
But either way, I did.
Ring, ring.. goes his phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kaede.."
"Sempai?"
"I was just wondering if you're okay. Are you?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"Hn."
"Okay, bye then. I'll call you again later."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Just because?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Hehe.. Bye.."
.. and we hung up. Argh. Why can't I think up of something to give him. And also because it seems like he's unaware that it's our monthsary tomorrow, it's kind of bringing me down and making me loose hope in finding the perfect gift. And suddenly, a thought popped into my mind. The thought that simplicity could be the answer to my question. Yes! Simplicity is the perfect gift. I smiled, knowing that despite Kaede's bastardic pride and arrogance, he's still a very simple dude. So I called him up AGAIN.
"Hello?"
"Kaede.."
"Sempai.."
"Er.. Can we meet up at the park tomorrow?"
"Why?"
"It's a secret."
"A secret?"
"Yes."
"After class, okay?"
"After class? Or after practice?"
"Right. After practice, kiddo."
"Okay."
"See you then."
"Okay."
.. and we hung up once more. It's all settled then. Hehehe..
