Do You See Me?

"Hisashi?" You raced down the corner, running for your life. "Why are you running?" You pressed on your shoes to break, a bit of dust swirled a few centimetres in the air, and ran back to me. "Celebration, chain, scared, crazy fan, no escape." I translated that as: As part of the Valentine's Week Celebration, the booths set up around campus included a chain booth, and the target recently has been you and you're scared that their gonna chain you for half an hour to a crazed fan of yours whom you might not be able to defend yourself from because of the chain that disables you from escaping." Understood. Hisashi? Why are you standing behind me?

"Hide me." If I was built like Akagi maybe I could, but the reality is, I'm not. Then voices were heard asking about you, and footsteps were getting closer. You waved good-bye to me, pointed to me, then covered your face with your hands, and then you were out of sight. Understood. Cover up.

"Did you see any Mitsui Hisashi come by here?" I scrunched up my eyebrows, rubbed my chin, and pretended to think. "Mitsui huh?" Stall for time, even if the reason's stupid. "Mitsui Hisashi, lead 3-pointer of the Shohoku team, don't play games with us." How impatient! "Oh yeah, yeah, I did see a- a Mitsui… Hisashi guy, yeah, uh huh, yeah, I did." I nodded my head a few times. "So where'd he go?" I ran a hand through my hair. "Well," They started to close in on me. I pointed to my right. "He went that way." You gave a small bow of thanks, backed away and started running that direction. "To the library!" I added. It was the last place on this school you would go to.

I purchased some vanilla ice cream and was heading back to the building when they came out of the library with your hand attached to one end of the chain. "Nice cover Karin." I raised my ice cream in the air, complaining. Well? How would I have known you would go to the library? Oops… so maybe I did have something to do with it. A little bit?

"Have you seen Ayako?" Hi Miyagi. "Yeah, I saw her, over at the um, fruit shakes area." You headed to the direction I pointed at, when I saw a few fellow Shohoku students, heading towards me carrying a chain. "Uh oh." I slipped closer to the booth where a lot of people were standing up in line, when they started to walk fast. I decided to run. They looked right and left, spotted me sticking out from the lined up crowd, stalked me like a lion ambushes her prey.

I headed for the back garden of the school, and I saw your back facing mine as you sat on one of those park benches. Hands grabbed my arms, and I was forced to stop rather awkwardly and a chain was attached to my right wrist. Your head was turning to face my direction, when they reversed me so I failed to see you.

They brought me to a third year classroom and waited for a while. A third year student appeared and searched the room for somebody. "Where's Ayako?" The first year students pointed at me. "That's not Ayako you idiots!" The first year's released me at once. "But she started running when we headed her way, so we thought…" The third year student rubbed his temples, and lighted a cigarette. "Sorry for the trouble." I massaged my wrist. "That's ok," was all I said.
