Line Breaks mean the Next Day
I stared miserably at my report card. D,D,C,B,F, and D. My mom was so gonna kill me for this.
I put my head in my hands and felt a light tap on my shoulder.
"Hey Lyserg, what's got you so down?" asked my blue-haired, nature-loving buddy, Horohoro.
"My grades suck," I replied, a little gloomily.
"Hey, no worries. Ya haven't been in school fer like the past what, five months? It's probably just the all the absences building up. You'll get yourself back up in no time," he replied, trying to cheer me up.
"Really? Do ya think so?" I asked, a little more hopeful now.
"Yeah! Sure!" he patted me on the back cheerily and walked off to ask Chocolove, self-proclaimed world's best comedian, about his grades.
I perked up a bit, but I knew deep down, that I probably wasn't going to raise it up. I wasn't that smart or talented and if I wanted to pass this class, then I'd probably have to get a tutor. Maybe I could ask Yoh.
After the bell rang, I ran quickly to try to catch up to Yoh. I saw him and Ren at the school gate saying goodbye to Horohoro and Chocolove.
"Hey! Yoh! Wait up!" I yelled, running a bit faster.
He turned around and waved hello.
"Hey Lyserg, what's the rush?" he asked, grinning at me.
"Ne, Yoh, are you free on the weekdays? I need some tutoring to get my grades back up," I asked, hopeful for a yes.
"Ah, sorry Lyserg but I usually go to Ren's house on the weekdays," a light blush covered his cheeks, and I understood why he couldn't go(for those of you who might not get my joke, it means that Yoh goes to Ren's house so they can ... :D Yoh most definitely can't miss that xD).
"Ok then, thanks anyway!" Well, that meant that Yoh and Ren were crossed off my list.
I walked home slowly, enjoying the cool spring afternoon. I wondered if Horohoro or maybe Jeanne-san, Marco-sensei's super-young and cute boss, could tutor me. I resolved to ask Marco-sensei the next time I saw him.
"Hey Horohoro," I asked, "is it possible for you to tutor me?"
"Yeah sure! When?" he asked.
Immediately, I perked up. "Um, how about 3-6?" I thought.
"Sorry, I can't do 3-6! I've got soccer practice everyday.* Sorry!" Horohoro apologized as he ran off.
Dang it, that leaves only Chocolove, Jeanne-san, and Ryu. Ryu was definitely off the list because if I asked him to tutor me, he'd probably just hug and try to kiss me all day and that was something I didn't appreciate. So only Jeanne-san and Chocolove were left. I was in luck because today, I was scheduled for a therapy session with Marco-san.
I arrived at X-Laws, Jeanne-san's therapy office. The door jingled as I opened the door and I was greeted my many of the X-Laws.
"Hey Lyserg!" said Meene, one of the X-Laws' workers.
"Hi," I greeted.
I walked into the elevator and pressed the 6 button. I calmly waited while thinking up a way to ask Jeanne-san to tutor me. The elevator dinged and I walked into Marco-san's office.
"Hey, Lyserg. Here for your therapy session? Hold on, I've got something special for you," said Marco-san. He reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a pristine, white notebook.
"Here Lyserg, this is for you. I want you to have this because I think you've gotten over that incident quite well. I'm very proud of you for getting over this so quickly. Most people take years but you've only taken four months. Please, take this notebook as my gift to you. Be sure to come back and visit!" he said, with a big smile on his face.
I was speechless. I hadn't expected such an amazing gift!
"Thank you so much Marco-san!" I got up and gave him a big hug. I was so happy I forgot I didn't like bodily contact.
I let him go and asked, "Is it ok if I go visit Jeanne-san? I need her help."
"Of course Lyserg, right this way," he gestured toward the door on his right.
"Thank you for the notebook Marco-san!" I thanked him one last time as I entered Jeanne-san's office.
I found her seated at her desk typing.
"Anou, Jeanne-san?" I asked, cautiously, afraid of distracting her from her work.
"Hmm? Lyserg, is that you? Hold on for just a moment. I'm almost done with this," she replied, eyes still pinned to the screen.
I took a seat and calmly waited for her to finish.
She ended her work in a flash and turned to look at me. "You don't usually visit me Lyserg, what's the special occasion?" she asked.
"Anou, I was wondering if you could tutor me during the weekdays?"
"I'm sorry, Lyserg. I have worship on weekdays and I can't skip it. I'm really sorry, Lyserg!" she said, smiling apologetically.
"It's ok, Jeanne-san. I'll ask some other friends." I got up and walked out the door.
As I walked out the door, I remembered Marco-san's notebook.
'Maybe I should name it,' I thought. I pondered on the subject as I walked back home, and at my gate, I thought up the perfect name (lol, who can already guess what it's gonna be called? xD).
'Zelel, an angel of god,' I thought as I walked through the door.
I twiddled my pencil aimlessly above my homework paper. I was still worried about the tutor business. What was I going to do?
Someone sat down in front of me and I looked up.
Yoh smiled lazily up at me.
"Hey Lyserg, you still worrying about your tutoring thing?"
"Yeah, I can't think of anyone else that could possibly tutor me."
"Hey, I've got someone in mind. I'll ask him about it. Get back to you later, ok?" He said, already turning away.
"Wait Yoh! What's his na-" But he was already gone.
Oh, well, at least I had found a tutor! Yay! I got out of my seat and gathered my books. I walked out of the classroom and started on my way back home.
Later at around 7:30, my phone rang.
I picked it up and said, "Diethel residence, What's up?"
Yoh's voice answered, "Hey, my friend said he could tutor you, he'll go to your house at around 10:30, sorry he works until real late. Later ok? I gotta go. Bye!"
"Wait, Yoh! Wha-" But yet again for the second time today, I had been cut off. I sighed. Fine, I'll eat dinner and take a shower while I wait.
I had just finished my shower when I heard the doorbell ring. I stumbled around in the dark, but couldn't find the light switch. Screw it, I'll turn it on later when my new tutor comes in.
I opened the door and the first thing I saw shot a shock wave through my whole body so hard, I flinched and then, stood so still, you could've taken me for dead.
Long hair. Long, luscious, beautiful hair. Him. It was him. He had come back for me. He had found out where I lived. And he had come back. He was going to do that to me again. No. No! NO!
I slammed the door shut as I sprinted back up the stairs. I smashed my bedroom door closed as I jumped into my bed. That's where I stayed for the rest of the night, shivering and praying he wouldn't return for me.
* - Sorry, Horohoro just strikes me as someone who could play soccer. Lol. xP.
And I think Lyserg is turning into Allen from -Man. Lol xD sorry, I just love Allen soooooooooo much xP. Lol. And Lyserg completely forgot that the person at his door could be his tutor. Lol. Review?
