Chapter 4
I continue to climb up the stairs, trying to let what just happen sink in. It was just impossible to think that her- of all people, atleast had a firearm, let alone how to use it. And all of those gang members... I could tell that they wern't students from our school. They had to come from a different academy. Not only were they not wearing out uniform, but you just didnt see them coming down the hallway on a daily basis. I wonder what they had to do here...?
I knock on the door to my next class. It took about 5 minutes for someone to answer the door. When I finally walked in, it was like first period made up again. All. Eyes. On. Me. Even the teacher was playing along. "*Ahem*" she pretends to clear her throat. " Kirigaya...why are you so late? Please, inlighten me with this excuse." She stands up and walks infront of her desk, not taking her eyes off me for a single second. Crap. I had no idea what to say. I couldnt just introduce the converstaion like, "Oh yeah, I beat up a bunch of gang members, but when they held me at gunpoint, that really delayed me. Luckily a girl came and shot him. My bad." I stammered, trying to think of something to say. "I-I...I tripped..." I said bleakly. The whole class snickered under their breath. Some even burst out laughing. Shit, I didnt know what to say. I just stood there in silence as more and more students began to laugh. Even the teacher was starting to get in on it. "Oh really?" the teacher proclaimed smirking. " Uhh...yea." Was all I could spit out.
As soon as class was dismissed, I packed up my stuff and headed for the door. "Yo, Kirito!" I hear Klein call from inside the building. " Hey, wait up, I wanna talk to ya!" I stop, waiting for him to catch up with me. When he does, he starts out the conversation with, " Yo, why were you, lemme think... oh yeah, TWENTY MINUTES LATE for class?! What happened this time? I highly doubt you tripped. Come on, you can tell me anything." I hesitated before I told him the whole story about what happened.
"WHAT!? YOUR KIDDING ME!" He shreiked loud enough for half of the neighborhood to hear. "I had no idea she could shoot a fire arm!" Immediatly after that sentence he starts to chuckle. " Well, by the sounds of it, It seems like they won't be bothering you for awhile. And I also doubt that they belong to this school. Them not wearing our uniform gave it away. But what are you gonna do? Tell somebody, or just let the rumors fly?" This made me ponder for alittle. What would I do? I totally forgot about the dead, knocked out bodies laying for everyone to see, but we were in a corner of the school where nobody really goes, but it won't be long before somebody gets nosy and creeps to the back of the school to reveal those 7 rotting bodies. " Well... maybe I'll go back and clear up all of the evidence. Maybe clean up the blood, If I have nothing better to do." I say trying to be sophisticated.
By the time I make it to Kleins house, It was already well after dark. Ok, now dont laugh at me when I say this, but I've kinda...always...been afraid of the dark. SSHH! Dont laugh at me! Klein grabs the doorknob and turns it, but its locked. "Huh? Mum said she would leave it unlocked today. Is she even home?" Klein nags as he begins to bang at the door. He finally gives up and calls his mother. As he dials her number, I starts to get cold chills. Damnit, I'ts atleast 30 degrees or lower out here. "ARGH...SHIT!" Klein swears, stomping on the ground. She isnt answering. What are we going to do now?- wait, can we go over to your house?" Klein asked hopefully. Crap, since I was planning on spending the night at his house tonight, I accidently left my housekeys...in the house. "Uhh...I kinda forgot my housekeys..." I mumbled ever so slightly. We both sigh and stand in silence for about 15 minutes before Klein adds, "Well, looks like were gonna do some camping out, eh?"
Totally looking forward to this night.
