RING RING
I scrambled across my bed to pick up the telephone. "Hello?" I mumbled, still feeling sleepy.
"Hello, I'm a representative from the Iwamitsu Company. Would you be intereste-"
I hung up the phone.
What the hell kind of telemarketer calls at 6am?
After 5 minutes of trying to fall asleep, I gave up and stared outside my window. "That's strange", I whispered. A figure was standing next to a telephone pole; I rubbed my eyes and squinted, looking closer. It's a girl gazing at the house near me. I chuckled to myself, stupid stalker. That's what you call dedication right there- going to someone's house at 6 in the morning.
I sometimes wonder what feels like to watch someone from afar, knowing that the person you like would never like you back. It would probably be like a blow to the stomach. But then again, who'd like a stalker? Poor guy, I'd be paranoid if I knew that someone is watching me.
I shrugged and started getting ready for school. Ahh school, how I hate you, I thought. With an hour to spend, I decided to study maths, my least favourite subject. Honestly, I don't see how trigonometry would be any useful in my life.
"Reeeeiinnnnaaaaaaa!" My mother called my name from downstairs, "breakfast is ready~!"
Sighing, I made my way downstairs, dreading what sort of food she prepared for me this morning.
"Tadaaaa~" She sang, bringing out a tray of… something, "it's celery sandwiched in the middle of tomato slices, garnished with spinach sauce and lemon!"
My mother is going through this all naturale` phase, you see. The only food that she's willing to prepare has to be made of ingredients she's grown in the backyard. Unfortunately for me she only grows those 4 things, so basically our recent food is just the same thing being made in different ways.
Thank goodness for the cafeteria, otherwise I'd die from malnutrition or starvation.
I stepped out the front door and glanced at the telephone pole, there were three girls now. These stalkers are multiplying! My theory is that they're reproducing asexually to create more fan girls. They probably have a whole wall of candid pictures of their victim, and just stand in front of it for hours. Creepy.
I shook my head at them and walked to the train station.
"Reina!" I turned to see Jai waving and jogging towards me
"Hey, good morning" I greeted
"Reina, check out what I made last night". She held out a voodoo doll of her favourite rock singer, "This way I can stab him with needles if he goes out with someone other than me"
"Wow… it looks just like him…" was the only compliment I could think of. Any other person would probably be creeped out by this, but this is the norm for Jai. She's into the occult and a bit of a sadist, if you ask me.
"Jaaaaiiiiiaaaiiiiaaaiii, Reinaaahhhhh!" We turned around to see Lita walking carrying her boombox on her shoulder. As for Lita, I can only describe her personality as random, it's pretty hard to fully comprehend her. I mean, I none of us even knows why she carries that boombox around- it's been like an appendage to her from the day I met her. The three of us boarded the train, Lita was blasting obscene music, Jai was scaring people near us by talking to her voodoo doll and then there was me… I was just pretty much standing there like a normal person. Gosh, I'm so boring…
When we got to school we barely made it in time before the bell rang, so we hurriedly went to homeroom and waited for the teacher to arrive. I was sitting there, content with my life until I realized… I FORGOT TO DO MY MATHS HOMEWORK! I could just bang my head on the desk- I was studying maths this morning, how in the world could I have forgotten to do the homework?
Out of desperation, I turned to the person next to me. Bingo, the perks of sitting next to the smartest guy in the school. "Psst, Shuichi" I whispered to him, "Mind if I take a look at your maths homework?" Shuichi smiled at me and simply replied with "I apologize but I cannot help you, I'm afraid". Geez, he sounds so polite when he's rejecting me, a simple "nahh do your own work" would have been okay with me.
Snob.
I slumped back to my desk and looked at the homework, gahh it all looks like a foreign language to me!
"I could, however, assist you in some areas you are having trouble with", Shuichi added.
"Great, but I sorta kinda actually need help in… everything…" I replied with shame.
He merely chuckled and proceeded helping me with this dastardly homework. Luckily for me, it turned out that the teacher got caught in traffic, buying me enough time to finish off my work just in time.
Afterwards I thanked him and we didn't talk again for the rest of the day.
"Hey look at that guy" Lita pointed towards a guy in green uniform with his hair slicked back, "what's your first impression of him?" Lita has a habit of pointing out random people when the three of us walk around places after school. I shrugged, "I dunno… he looks like someone who would steal an old lady's wallet to impress his friends". "I reckon he's cute", she replied, "Dare me to credit card him?"
"Lita, please don't…No one's gonna credit card anyone today", I replied laughing.
A/N: If you don't know what credit carding is, it's the first definition in Urban Dictionary xDD
Also, the guy in green uniform is Yusuke LOL
