Kuro's Bad Day
After Kuro visited Lin and Naru yesterday, she decided to head to school. Even though she disliked school, she would have never gone back to school if it wasn't for Mai and Someone else... She had promised them that she would give school another try. Yet again she was persuaded into something she hated.
Well, she could not back out now, after all, she promised them, she never breaks promises. It is one of the reasons they hated making promises in the first place. What was the point, making promises that you were going to break.
Kuro gave a tired sigh and shook her head at her thoughts, she shouldn't think about this, one she would certainly hate to remind herself about that person, It would just make herself upset, Nor does she want to make Mai worry about her. That's the last thing she wanted to do.
Kurobara headed to the front gates of her school, strolling. Trying to keep her fearless exterior she always put on for show. Once she was on the school grounds, her paranoia came back to torment her, something she wishes she could get rid of.
They could hear hushed whispers by other students; she knew they were talking about her. Even when others think she can't listen to them, they made it so obvious it was comical. Their body language and tone of voice made it clear to her.
Kuro tried to ignore it to the best of her ability, yet somehow she always became upset and unsettled. She honestly felt sick, nauseous even. It was her Anxiety that plagued her every single day…
Trying to stop her overthinking mind, she walked inside the school building, still feeling awful. Outside she looked aloof, unfeeling. It was how she wanted to appear, and she always prided herself on how well she can keep up her mask.
Finally, after walking for some time, she saw her classroom door. Kuro almost groaned out at the mere thought of her lessons; she didn't need them anyway. Once again, ignoring the stares, she could feel on her back. Taking a deep breath, she began to knock on the dull grey door of classroom 3-A. She stood there, waiting for her lecturer to open the door.
Kuro didn't have to wait too long as the door opened, the second she knocked on the door. She saw her teacher Mr. Hirokashi staring down at her in a condescending manner. It never failed to piss her off, just because he was a teacher does not mean she wasn't of equal standing.
"Ah, Mrs. Akamia-san, I see you have finally decided to join the class." He spoke gruffly, almost mocking her. She undeniably rolled her eyes, not caring if he saw her. Why should she give a shit about him, when he didn't provide any care for her and the rest of the students.
"Yes, I have come back from the dead" She mockingly spoke, it may seem she was confident when standing up to his demeanor, but she was actually anxious as fuck.
"Now, do you mind? You are blocking the way," She added later, almost sighing at her passive aggression. Her teacher gave her a look, scrutinizing her, giving her a half glare. If she had confidence right about now, she would have flipped the bird at him. He hated her because she was smarter than him; it was clear as day.
"I may not let you back in class, depending on your reasoning and answer."
Kuro already knew what he was asking; he wondered why she was late, not that it was his business. The principal already knew she was going to be late. "I already know what you are going to ask... I can assure you that I have a perfectly reasonable answer." They spoke out, tone leaking annoyance.
"If you don't know already, but I was tasked by the Principle that I would aide the Ghost Hunters, who wanted to take a look at the old school building. Regrettably, one of the members of that said group was injured severely. The Principle told me to check up on them, so I did. He knew that I was going to be late."
Kurobara had a giant cocky grin on her face. Mr. Hirokashi gave her the biggest glare she has seen him with; she almost snorted but suppressed herself. "That is a terrible lie Mrs. Akamia-san" He announces to her, looking down on her.
Her cocky smirk shifted into a sour frown, Irritated at his words. She gave a loud drawn-out sigh, being rude on purpose. She knew how impatient he was. "Ah, sorry, sir~ you must be mistaken, have you ever known me to lie? There are two things that I hate the most: Want to know them?" She replied voice laced with anger.
"Incompetence and accusations... I do not lie like you sir, I have class, and FYI you can go ahead and ask the principal, I am sure he would be able to explain." She hummed darkly; he was seriously pushing her buttons.
Kurobara chuckled, being cheeky to the teacher. "So can I go in? you are wasting precious time that I could use to learn, after all, this is a school, sir. "She mockingly declared, managing to keep her cold and confident exterior. She pushed inside, getting him off her back.
He obviously hated her guts even more now; she couldn't help her attitude. Did he expect respect? Well, that goes both ways.
At least she got inside the class before he could shout at her. The class, like always, looked at her in distaste, fear, and annoyance. They began to mutter amongst themselves; some even began to giggle at her. She walked to her lone desk, which was at the back of the class.
It was normal where she sat — it was alone seat and desk, away from everyone singling her out from the crowd of idiots. She was given the oldest desk in the school; It had words carved into it — a message to her.
Words like "Psycho," "Freak," "Nerd," and the worst of them "Worthless." In bold black writing, they really wanted her to see it. She rolled her eyes at their petty bullying; of course, it hurts her; she did have emotions like the rest of the human race.
Still, she knew from experience to never show them that she was hurt and had emotions. They would only use that to their advantage, she would never give them the gratification they thought they deserved, so she always shrugged it off, like it wasn't a big deal.
Constantly they vandalized her desk, placing pins in her shoes, and the worst was placing a single flower on her desk. Kuro knows she could easily scare them off and efficiently break them like a stick, but she wasn't the type to throw a fit and hurt someone because they were bullying her.
It would be different, however, if it were Mai, her best friend, oh then there's a problem... A big problem.
You see, she is one of those people who could careless about herself but cares more people. Her friends in her case, she would do anything to protect her friends, she would gladly defend them till she is nothing left. Morbid yes, she knows, but that is how she works.
If anyone ever even tried to bully Mai and her other friend, no matter what type of bullying she would defend them, even if she has to take the hit. She was loyal to her friends and would never leave them in the dust.
In some way, she could be considered a stereotypical Rebel, scaring people and won't stand for bullying to other people but herself. She honestly could give no fucks if they see her that way. She sat down at her desk, not even looking at the scribbled mess on her desk.
She knew it would distract her from her lessons, even if she doesn't really need them. She needs to focus. She gave a sigh, disregarding the students, focusing on the teacher. Kurobara knew it was going to be a long day.
(Timeskip)
After the bell had rung, she stayed in her seat, waiting for everyone to get out of the class first. She began to pack her bag very neatly, placing everything in order before hearing a thunderous booming voice, "Kuro-san!" She knew instantly who it was, her crazy friend.
They swiftly closed their backpack and clutched it in her right hand. Keeping her face emotionless.
Before Mai could go into her classroom, Kuro stopped her, leaning onto the door frame, making her look even more cooler. Eyes on her reddish-brown eyes "Mai-chan... What are you doing here, didn't I say we would meet outside..." She sighed, sighing, chuckling ever so softly.
The reason she didn't want her in her classroom was so she would not see her desk. It was covered in vulgar words, and it would alarm her that she was getting bullied. She certainly didn't want her to be worried; she already had enough to worry about.
Mai pouted at her; it was a regular occurrence. "Ah, sorry, Kuro-san, but I couldn't wait to see you." They said exited. Her eyes lit up, and so did her voice as she grinned. Kurobara could not help but chuckle at her cute behaviour, raising her eyebrows at her brunette friend.
"You forgot, didn't you?" Kuro smirked, watching Mai flush seven shades of pink, trying to make excuses.
She beamed at Mai's frustrated face " I am merely joking Mai-chan, you Dumbo" She snickered out. Mai irritated, tried to whack her on her head, but regrettably, she dodged it effortlessly.
She chuckled at her failed attempt, making her friend huff. "Well, I was about to say good luck on today's final Exams but... now I don't know," Mai playfully said, glaring at her. Kurobara gave her a smirk, snickering, "Thank you, Mai-chan, but I do not need any luck." they replied arrogantly.
Mai puffed her cheeks cutely, rolling her eyes at her cocky behaviour.
"I know Kuro-san, you are the only academic genius here..." She grumbled at her, making her snort. Kurobara gave her a really soft smile, "Pft... I was only joking Mai-chan. Jeez lighten up; I always need your support." At this, Mai's eyes widen in complete shock with a gaping mouth.
She bursted out into laughter at her friend's expression, shaking her head lightly, Smiling breathlessly as she walked off with style. Mai kept her eyes on her back. Knowing this, Kuro turned around, glancing at her before giving her friend a playful wink.
She went ahead to her Exams; she had a big cocky grin. Knowing that she was going to blow people out of the competition on the top spot. What can she say, she was known to be a little competitive, especially with wit.
That and she had perfect grades without even trying.
Kurobara walks inside the Examination room and sits down onto her desk number "H5". Other students poured into the exam room, giving looks of disgust before heading to there seat.
The Examiner that was overlooking them was one of the heads of her school. He looked tired and annoyed "Please turn off your phones and place it in your bag. Then put it in you designated cupboard. " He spoke tiredly.
Everyone including herself headed to their cupboard and placed their items in it, some grumbling. After some time, they all sat down. Kurobara sat with a bored look on her face, leaning on her hand.
"You know the rules, No cheating. For apparent reasons we do not condone cheating here or anywhere, if we find out you have, you will get an automatic zero. " Their Examiner spoke.
Sitting in her seat boredly, waiting for the next instructions. "This Exam is fundamental, as it will determine your future. Do not let yourself pass up this opportunity " He spoke eyeing every student in the room.
"Take your time; you have 4 hours to complete all of the tests. Another thing, Do not skip questions, it is better to answer it wrong then have it blank."
She sighed, waiting for the alarm to sound for when she begins. Kuro started to crack her knuckles, stretching out her hands, getting herself ready for the Exam.
BING BONG, BING BONG
"Begin!"
(Timeskip)
"Well, I am now done for today. The results should come in tomorrow." She sighed for the millionth time today, stretching out her arms backwards, cracking her back in the process.
She felt exhausted, her back throbbed, and so did her limbs. She had to sit there for almost 4 hours non-stop. She could even feel herself cramping up. She wondered how her favourite character L could do this.
Walking around, she spotted a familiar narcissist. Kurobara started to beam and shuffled towards him.
She noticed he hadn't spotted her, smirking ever so softly. Going behind his back wordlessly, like a ninja and screeched "BOO!" Naru bounced up a little; It was a small reaction but adequate for her to Laugh. Finding it comical and amusing.
"Hahaha-Oh god Shibuya-san... You should have seen your face..." She breathlessly spoke, snickering at his small glare, pinching the bridge of his nose, in annoyance. A habit she has seen him do before.
She gave him a cheeky smile; she knew he was somewhat pissed at her. She really didn't care if he was. Naru still glaring at her "You're wasting time." She just sniggered at his annoyance.
Ignoring his insulting words she spoke " Ah Shibuya-san, I have completed my Exams, So I am currently free to help you out"
His expression transformed into a small devilish smirk; he was planning something. Kurobara narrowed her heterochromia eyes at him, knowing he was up to something. His attractive smirk gave that kind of feeling.
She decided not to say something, that does not mean she wasn't suspicious of his motives "Well? Shibuya-san, do you want me to help you or what?" She spoke, Irritation laced into her tone. He rolled his eyes at her behaviour.
"There is no need. I don't have anything for you to do... However" He paused, still smirking at her "I would love to know what happened at the Hospital," He demanded, crossing his arms. Eyes on her face.
Kurobara raised her eyebrows at his question, wondering what this was about "What are you talking about? At the Hospital?" She challenged, confusion replacing her expression, waiting for his response. Shifting her body to face him full on.
Kazuya narrowed his beautiful eyes at her; They were like sapphire diamonds. Many women would get lost into him; still, she wasn't just a woman, so it didn't affect as most people.
"Lin had told me that you caused poltergeist activity in Lin's room... Apparently, you made the side table reverberate, and I would love to know how you would explain this?" He spoke arrogantly.
Her eyes widen a fraction; a feeling of dread began to form inside her stomach. Cursing inside her head at her idiocy 'Shit, Shit... I should have known, I need a better handle on my emotions.'
Kuro couldn't help but panic inside her head, anxiety crawling onto her back unexpectedly, trying her best to keep her facial expression from showing anything. She gave him a calm smile, contradictory to what her interior was.
"Well, clearly, it was not me... I would know for a fact if I had Esp or Psychic powers, are you sure you didn't cause it Shibuya-san."
Naru looked at her as though he wasn't buying her lie. She kept a blank expression on her face. "You are very bad at Lying Akamia-san. I would know if I have used 'psychic abilities'"
She looked pissed off, and she was, biting her lip tightly, throbbing pain on her lip. Kurobara certainly didn't want anyone to know about her cursed abilities; she already gets bullied as it is. If it gets out, she would be tormented.
They already had rumours about her...
He had a smug look, annoying her further. Why did he have to look attractive and smug at the same time? It irritated her to no end. She was busy trying to stop herself from having a panic attack. She needed to avoid this confrontation.
"I don't see how it is any of your business Shibuya-san? if I were you, I would not test me."
He glared at her; she was being difficult. It was strange how much she denied his claim. His mouth twitched in annoyance. "It is my business. I have a right to know; I am a Paranormal Investigator. You're clearly hiding something."
His voice grated on her nerves, thinking he knows everything. She hates to tell him, but she was as intelligent as him, seeing him look down on her made her eye jerk in anger. Kurobara was undeniably going to snap.
"I could say the same thing, Shibuya-san. Your hiding a lot of things too, you act as unusual as me so you cannot say anything. "
He looked at her for a moment, A light bulb flicker barely. He smirked, noticing it as he was about to open his arrogant mouth, she glared at him. A murderous one. "Well, Mr. Shibuya-san? I would suggest you to stop asking me."
That is when she stood right in front of his face, glaring him down — a challenging expression on her face. "You got that?" She whispered into a deadly voice, angry and ready to go.
His eyes could not help but look down at her lips. There was a tug on her mouth, a dark and sexy smirk. Eyes narrowed on his face; head tilted right next to his eyes. They are forcing him to look at her.
He could faintly, smell her minty breath. He felt uncomfortable to be this close to her. She was ready to hit him, and he knew that. She was fearless; he would give her that. He sighed annoyedly, not liking the close proximation.
At that, Kurobara recognised that she had got him on the hook. She grinned wolfishly and in triumph. That may be a bitchy thing to do, but she would do anything to defend her secret. She could not deny, however, that he was attractive and handsome.
He must have tons of girls trying to flirt with him. She almost snorted at that thought.
She was kind of glad that she didn't have any guys flirting with her; she hated that type of behaviour. It just made her uncomfortable; she wasn't interested in any relationships.
Though she wouldn't mind if a person she liked would flirt with her, in a playful way, she had feelings like most people, but it was unlikely for her to fall in love with anyone, girls or boys.
Kurobara couldn't deny that she had crushes, that would be wrong, but she has never pursued those crushes... It's just how she feels about relationships. Not many people know about her sexuality, what was the point? Plus she liked to be an enigma to people.
Although people thought that she was just some freakish rebel, that has no social skills, but she knew herself. It wasn't right, she had quite excellent skills with people (Sometimes.) She does agree, however, that she was a freak.
She was brought up into a regal family... sadly, but it did come in handy. She was taught social etiquette; she sighed not really wanting to think about her family and how they drilled it in her every being.
Naru watched her, interested in her. He saw that her eyes lit up with a bundle of emotion, contempt and sadness. He wondered what she was thinking about to make her feel like that. He knows he shouldn't care, but for some reason he does. It was just curiosity... That was all it was.
If Lin could hear what was going inside his head, he would laugh with an all-knowing smile. Naru was glad he wasn't here, he didn't even want him to give him that look. He hated it. He already deals with his family teasing day to day.
She blanked out at him; her expression went back to her cold demeanour, and so did his. Kurobara needed to stop wasting time with him. She wanted to spend time with her best friend, Mai... She knew not to push her buttons and get in her personal space.
She was still very much annoyed and angry as she marched off. He got a reaction out of her, and she hated him for it. She wished her Pk would stop overreacting to her emotions. It's becoming a pain. Kuro wished she was never born with it and she knew she couldn't do anything about it.
SIghing, before she went off, she shifted on the balls on her feet "I will see you later Shibuya-san... unfortunately."
