Chapter 5: Fuck you, tutoring
TWO MONTHS LATER
"So... I need a tutor?" I asked. I had just been explained that I suck at school and need a tutor. But was I really that bad? What if tutoring would be really expensive? I mean, of course it would be expensive, but still, my parents wouldn't pay if it was too expensive. And besides, I didn't even want a tutor. I didn't want some old hag to take my free time from me!
"Who will it be anyway?" I asked. Principal, whose office I had been three times this year, just smiled and said that he would come soon here. "He?" So the tutor was a male, huh?
It didn't take long - even though I thought it was really long - until someone knocked on the door. When the principal asked to come in, door opened and... he came in.
I wanted to scream. Kamui-sensei had just stepped into room. Don't let it be him, please, I thought. I mean, even though it was long time ago, sensei had kissed me! I really, really, didn't want him to tutor me. Oh God, what if he would kiss me again? Or even worse... I threw the not-so-nice thoughts out of my mind.
"...so he would tutor you every wednesday and friday. Also, you or your parents don't have to pay anything. Isn't that nice from Kamui?" No need to pay? Really? That was good. I guess. "And we already have contacted your parents and they said they want him to tutor you", principal continued. God, no... Now I have no way out of this...
"W- When will we start?" I asked. I was a little afraid of the answer, but I wanted to know when this torturing - I mean tutoring - would start.
I got the answer from Kamui: "Tomorrow after club practice, come to school library. I will tutor you about an hour or two." I nodded. So tomorrow would be a living hell. Great... And I had plans with Len that day...
Now I actually realized how much time I had spent with Len resently. I honestly hadn't even talked to Miku or Rin. When I went to movies, I did it with Len. When I went to mall, I did it with Len. I was always with Len, and we had grown really close to each other. He was like a brother, who I had no fight with.
And now that I mentioned brothers, I was still mad at Akaito. Really, it had been two months since that, but I still was mad at him. I mean, I shouldn't be so long time mad at someone, but I just was. Len and Mikuo had many times tried to tell me to apologize him, but I just said that I would forgive him when he apologized me.
When I left principal's office, I immediately ran into Len. He asked why I had been in there and I just answered: "I got a tutor and that's why we can't go to movies tomorrow", I said bitterly. He seemed to be a little upset and we just headed to the gym class.
After school, I could always be found from my room, listening to music, eating ice cream, or just simply watching anime. But today it was different. I was finishing the details of my cosplay outfit, and yes, I did make them myself. It had to be ready next week so I could wear it in a anime convention in Akihabara. I was going to cosplay Lu Xun from Dynasty Warriors 7, a Koei* game that I played a lot. First I was going to cosplay Jiang Wei, but I liked Lu Xun's outfit more.
When I finished the details, I checked that every single pattern or other thing was right, sighed and stared at the outfit with a proud smile on my lips. I was glad I ordered the wig and shoes last week so they couldn't be late.
I was going to the convention with Meito. Meito was actually a little older than me - he was 19. I had met him when I was 15 and Akaito was his good friend and Meito came over to our place and saw my mangas, games and figurines and we became friends - he is an otaku, as you can already guess. Meito and I became really good friends and afterwards I found out he was Meiko-sensei's little brother. And that's why I know Meiko so well and call her by her first name even though she's a teacher.
My friends don't know Meito because if they'd meet Meito, they wouldn't understand what we're talking about because we're otakus. But I really like Meito and we talk a lot. We like the same animes and mangas and had the same favourite genres and also, we like the same type of characters.
And speaking of which, Meito just texted me. I opened the message and it read:
u wanna come to the new cafe with me?
we could go and buy new mangas after that.
I thought that it would be a nice idea, so I answered him yes. After a while, I got a new message:
ok, i'll pick u up at 5
I really did want new mangas. The new GFantasy** should be in the stores now and I also wanted the newest Shonen Jump.***
I had half an hour to get ready, so I changed my school uniform to pair of jeans and a white shirt, but because I still had plenty of time, I took them off and tried my cosplay costume on. It fit perfectly and I liked it a lot, but after a minute staring at a mirror I put on the normal clothes.
I had to wait for fifteen minutes so I spent that time listening to music, so when Meito came, I wasn't the one opening the door. And so Meito had sneaked into my room, scared the shit out of me and fell on the floor laughing like an idiot. But I quess he wasn't the only one looking like an idiot. It must have looked hilarious when I fell down from my bed and screamed like a little girl when he touched my shoulder.
After Meito stopped laughing, he wiped his teary eyes and said: "You get so easily scared! You should've seen your face!" I mumbled something not so polite and asked if he had finished his cosplay outfit.
"Yeah. But it's still a surprise who I'm going to cosplay! Is yours ready?" he answered. I nodded. "You wanna see it?" I asked. He nodded and I took the outfit from my closet. When he saw it, his eyes got wide.
"You seriously made it yourself? That's amazing! You do have the wig and shoes, right?" he said - or more like yelled.
"I ordered those last week, but yes, the costume is made by me. I finished it right before you texted", I answered and blushed a little. Was I really so good at making those costumes? I mean, I did make them always myself, execpt for the time Akaito bought me that maid-dress. But no, I would never wear that dress!
"We should get going", Meito said and stood up from the floor he still was sitting on. I put the costume back to my closet and followed him to his car, which was parked in the street in front of our house. I stepped into the car and closed the door behind me and Meito did the same. We drove off to the part of the town where the new café was and stepped in. It was full of otakus - 'cause it was for otakus - and I quickly glanced at the menu, which was on the table we took, and checked if they served ice cream. I sighed from the relief when I saw that there was seven kind of flavours to choose from.
When the waitress came, I realized that this was also a maid café. She was wearing an white dress with some pastel green laces and an apron. She smiled and asked what we'd like to order. Meito ordered some kind of chockolate muffin and coffee, but I just ordered strawberry ice cream. When we ate, we talked about the newest episode of a shonen anime, my fight with Akaito, - but of course I didn't mention why I hated Kamui - and school.
"...I mean, I know I suck at school, but why do I need a tutor? And the worst part is that the tutoring will start tomorrow!" I explained to Meito, who had listened me quietly for the whole time. He took a sip of his coffee and said: "Y'know what you need? You need to study hard and get rid of him! If you get good grades, you won't need a tutor."
"But it's too haaaard", I whined and took the last spoonful of the ice cream. He sighed and said that I'd just have to do it.
When we had to pay, I noticed that I had forgotten my wallet to my room. I almost panicked, but Meito said it was fine and he could pay it. When we left the café, I looked down to my feet and mumbled: "I'll pay you back when we get home."
"Oh, don't worry about it! This only leaves you more money for the convention", he answered. I wasn't that happy. Now I couldn't buy manga... Well, I could buy manga any time I wanted, but I still came here mostly because of manga... and ice cream.
When we got to the store where we usually bought our mangas, I only stood there and watched how Meito tried to choose between two mangas. I was bored and looked out from a big window that covered about half of the west wall of the store and saw a little girl crying in the street.
"I'll go outside for a while", I quickly said to Meito, whose only respond was a small nod. I hurried to the girl and kneeled to her height.
"Are you okay?" I asked. She looked at me and shaked her head. "M- my mama told me to w- wait here while she would go to that store... She said th- that she would be there only for a moment. B- but then I saw a cute cat a- and I followed it. And when I ca- came back, I didn't see mama in- inside the store a- and I went to look for h- her, but I didn't fi- find her and it h- has been already an hour", she said between the sobs. I pitied her. I remembered that when I was seven, that had happened to me too. But where Akaito went, wasn't a manga store.
I sighed. "How old are you?" I asked her and she sobbed and said she was five.
"What if we go look for your mama? I'm sure she is here somewhere", I suggested and she nodded. I stood up and we left. "What does your mother look like?" I asked. It would be easier to search for the mother if I knew what she looked like. The girl told me that she had black, long hair and she was wearing a white shirt and dark jeans. She also had a black jacket and sneakers. I nodded and started to look around.
It didn't actually take long time when we found her in front of a shoe store, looking around with tears floating on her cheecks. When she saw us walking towars her, she whispered something to herself and ran to us and hugged her child.
"Kazumi! Where were you?" she asked while crying and still hugging her sister, whose name apparently was Kazumi.
"I chased a cat and then you weren't there and he helped me to find you!" Kazumi answered and pointed me, who was standing few feet from them and awkwardly staring at the street.
The young woman hugging Kazumi looked at me. I noted that her make-up had spread all over her face because she had cried so much. But those eyes were so familiar... Had I seen her before? After she had thanked me about million times, I decided I'd have to go back if I wanted Meito to ride me home.
When I arrived to the store, Meito was just about to pay for his manga. How long did take to decide between those mangas? I thought and the realized that he was buying both of them. I tried not to facepalm myself when he paid and walked towards me. Sometimes he was just too idiot... But he was still my friend, so I let it be and asked what he had bought.
"Shonen Jump and..." he said but stopped. He was trying to hide the other manga from me, but I snatched it from him and realized that it was...
"Porn", I said. That was just all I could say at that moment. Meito had just bought yuri in front of me? Then I started to laugh. "I always knew you were a pervert!" I said while still laughing. Well, it was quite obvious that Meito was a pervert. Once I saw him drawing something, but I didn't know if they were male or female in the drawing.
I was still giggling when we got home and he glared at me. Suddenly he smirked when we were at the front door. Here it comes... "So, are you saying that there isn't an yaoi manga in your room, huh?" Fuck... He saw it?
I blushed furiously and yelled: "It's not your business! And it's not even mine..." His smirk just got wider. "Oh? So you do have it in your room?" he said. "Shut up! It's... it's... Akaito's!" I lied- I mean, said. Of course it's not mine!
"Akaito doesn't read yaoi. He's just gay, nothing else", Meito said. God, he's good at this... I decided that I should just stop and I would lose anyway. "Y- you won't tell about this to anyone, okay?" I said. He told me not to worry and he wouldn't tell anybody. I sighed and he returned to his car and I stepped inside my house. Shit... I forgot to pay for the ice cream he bought to me... Well, I can do that when we go to the anime convention.
When I arrived to my room, it didn't take long until someone knocked on the door. It was Akaito, and he had an small smile on his lips, way different than his usual grin.
"What is it?" I asked bitterly. As you can remember, I still was mad at him. He opened his mouth, but first, no words came out. Then he started to talk.
"I'm sorry for what happened in the café... I knew you don't like him very much", he said. I was really surprised, and actually it was quite a relief to hear an apologize from him. But still, I had that not-so-happy expression on my face. He said that after two months? What the hell is his problem?!
He continued, like he had just read my mind or something: "I know I said this pretty late, but Meito told me to apologize. Can you please forgive me?" My expression softed a little. He was serious... It must've been really hard for him to apologize, concidering that he usually was an asshole who never does that.
"I quess I can... But I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have yelled you for such thing", I answered and looked at my feet.
Akaito chuckled. "That's okay. Are we fine now?" he said. I smiled and nodded. Well, at lest this problem was solved. But there was still many more to go.
