Chapter5 – Saeki
The telephone rings but I don't care.
I'm really in my worst mood now. I think today is my bad day. After the accident with Taka-san, I went home despite the rain. When I arrived, I just realised that there was no one in the house today. And the refrigerator is empty, meaning I have to go to grocery before I can eat any food. But the rain is not showing any sign to stop soon, so I think I will have a delivery. But my wallet is nowhere to be seen, I think I have left it back in school.
So, here I am, people… Fuji Shusuke, soaked, starving to death, and rejected.
And stop ringing, will you, stupid phone!
Still in anger, I pick up the phone, ready to give whoever person on the oher side of the line his worst nightmare for daring to disturb me in my desperation.
"Fuji Shusuke is speaking," I say.
"Ah… hallo…" Saeki's voice greets me. Now, I cannot possibly give him his nightmare. No matter how depressed I am, I cannot… do something bad to Saeki…
He's too important for me.
"Saeki… it has been so long since your last call… what… what's the matter…" I try my best not to showing him my troubling heart.
"No, it's just… my God, Shusuke, are you crying?!" he says, surprised.
"Am… not…" I say, but even when I say it, I feel tears flow on my cheeks.
"Wait there, I'll be there in an instant," he says and then he hangs up.
I admit that I don't think his words as something serious, so I'm a little startled when I find him not longer than just a minute after he has hung up. Yes, I open my door and find Saeki there.
"My god, you're really crying!" he says in surprise once we seat ourself on my bed.
"Shut up!" I say sulkily."I have a bad day now…"
"It's apparent," he says and stares at me lovingly. "So, what's up?"
"I… forget it, it's embarassing…" I say. But Saeki keeps staring at me until one moment I feel like I cannot endure it any longer. "Fine, then, I'm rejected, are you satisfied?"
Saeki's face shows a great deal of surprise. Yes, for years we have been friends and this is the first time I ever say things like that to him.
And the first time I got rejected over and over again…
I'm tired of cursing, crying, and all. I hate the fact that I look so miserable. I even hate the fact that it is still raining outside.
Eh… raining?
"You… how did you come? It's still raining outside…" I say.
"Err… actually I was in front of your house when I called…" he says.
I question him with my gaze. Now, I'm pretty sure that something is happening here, but what?
Let's think… it's the time for the tensai Fuji Shusuke for observing (and scheming). First conclusion, Saeki was nearby and he got caught in the rain and called me to ask for a shelter. Second conclusion, Saeki actually intended to come so he called to make sure that the person he wanted to meet was at place. But who the person might be, is it me or Yuuta or both?
Third conclusion, Saeki wanted to come, but he changed his mind and gave a call instead.
But why?
Now, now, you can see… that's the difference between a tensai and mere people. You know for sure how bad my feeling now, yet I cannot stop myself from observing (and scheming).
And gosh… how this finding-a reason-behind-the-coming-of-Saeki-thing can make me feel much better… Well, at least I'm not as depressed as before…
"In front of my house?" I say with a sweet voice. I cannot get careless, Saeki know me (and my tricks) better than anyone. If I take one step wrong, the result is going to be fail. "But… why didn't you come then…?"
"I… got distracted, that's all… anyway…" Saeki says rather hesistantly in my opinion. "You said that somebody rejected you?"
"Don't turn over the table over me, Kojiroh," I glare at him. "Answer my question, is there any special reason for you to come to my house?"
He falls silent for a long time. And I do nothing else than observing him. Man, I should have written observing (and scheming) as my hobby and not tennis. This time, which you can say as the most depressing time in my life, I don't feel like playing tennis, but damn, how I enjoy observing (and scheming for) Saeki.
"Actually… there is…" he says, and when I look at his eyes again, finally I understand.
Sometimes I hate being a tensai. I always know what inside my friend's heart, and sometimes, things I find there disturb me.
Sometimes, I want to quit observing (and sheming) just to keep myself from getting dissapointed by the result of my observation.
Sometimes, I want to hate Saeki, but I can't, not even now.
So I smile instead and say, "Well, if you search for Yuuta, he's out now, but don't worry, he'll be back soon and you can ask him out with you in a date."
Sometimes, I hate my smiling face, but now, I really hope that Saeki can see nothing in my face else than my smile.
"I pray for your happiness, both you and Yuuta…"
Sometimes, I want to hate myself.
"I know that you two love each other, so please be happy and don't let me be any burden… ne, Saeki… I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Sometimes….
"Have fun with Yuuta and please take care of him, ne? I can take care of myself, so you two just go and have a wonderful date."
I hate being Fuji Shusuke.
