I woke up really early today because I had to start packing for the camping trip because it was tomorrow. I packed some clothes, some pads (my period is coming up), granola bars and bottles of water. I have to ask Satsuki or the others at maid latte if I can borrow a sleeping bag and I have to take a leave from Friday to Sunday. Like Takumi said it was today raining today but I beat it and didn't get that wet!
I finish packing and I get ready for work and put on a hoodie over my purple t-shirt and slip on my grey sneakers. I grab my bag and lock the door and leave for the train station. I arrive at the fire station and to my surprise I see Takumi already at his desk working. I drop my things in my office and go into his office without knocking. Takumi had his head down and he was reading some papers and signing them.
He looks up when I walk in.
'I need to take a leave from Friday to Sunday' I demand
'Why?' he asks me
'Sakura asked me to go on the camping trip'
'Right, because you haven't taken any other leaves this month' he was searching for the attendance records and he found them and looked at mine 'so you can get paid too'
'Okay' I turn around to walk out the door but I had a question to ask him so I turn around but he was backing reading and signing paper. I didn't want to disturb so I turn the way and go to my own office, I guess I will ask him later.
By the time it is lunch, I am starving. I take some pasta from the cafeteria and walk to where Sakura was sitting. She is sitting with the other fire fighters in a long rectangular table.
'Hey Misaki!' she chirps as I come near the table
'Hey' I try to smile
I sit down and dig my fork into my pasta. I think about the monthly rent and the amount of money I will have by the end f the month. I hear my name being called and I look up and see Sakura.
She says 'are you ready for the trip tomorrow?'
I see Takumi besides her also looking at me, waiting for an answer. He looks tired; I can see bags under his eyes. That's why he didn't tease me this morning and just went back to working. He smiles lightly at me.
'Yah, I am almost done packing' I say truthfully
'You should bring some extra clothes and rain boots and a coat incase it rains' she says while Takumi goes back to eating.
I shove some pasta in my mouth and answer 'okay, and should I bring some food or water for the trip?'
'No, no Alex will bring water and drinks and Maria and I, we will bring the food' she says while unwrapping the saran wrap of her grilled cheese sandwich.
'Oh, if you need anything-' Sakura cuts me off
'Yes, Misaki, I know, if I need anything you will be the first person I call' she smiles after she her sentence and I smile too
Sakura turns to Takumi and asks him 'so, Usui-san, are you done packing?'
HE IS GOING TOO?! I spit out my food from my mouth and yell at Usui 'YOU ARE GOING TOO!?'
Everyone stares at me. Takumi looks at me wide- eyed and starts to smile and says 'yes'
'WHAT' I look at Sakura and say ' NO ONE SAID THIS PERVERT WAS COMING TOO!' and I point to Usui while saying it
Takumi says 'you never asked' I whip my head to face Takumi. He starts to smiles an 'I am the winner' smile. I hate him he is such a pervert and is coming to the camping trip! I don't want to go with him. If he is going I don't want to.
I give everyone except Sakura and Takumi the 'get-back-to work (or to eating)-stare' so they don't stare at us.
I say to Sakura 'you know what... I have some things to do tomorrow and during the weekend, so I don't think I can come" I say while hovering over her
Before she can answer I take my pasta and run to my office. I close the door behind me and lock it and sit at my desk and eat and think about Usui. He is always stalking me and has such a perverted mind. If he does these things when everyone is here, what will he do if we are 100 kilometers away from civilization?
I finished my pasta and got back to work.
There is a knock at my door.
I get up and unlock it and find Takumi. He glides in and looks at me. He has a water bottle in his hand and a small bowl with some pasta in the other.
'What?' I say to him and cross my arms
'Ayuzawa,' he walks over to my desk and places the bowl and the bottle down. I look at the food then up at him. My stomach growls, I would have took seconds on the pasta but Takumi ruined my lunch for me!
He starts again 'why do you hate me so much?' he looks a bit concerned, but I can't trust boys with their fake faces and actions and sayings.
'I- ugh ...' BOYFRIEND! Right, I can continue that boyfriend bit! 'Like I said to you before I have a boyfriend, and he is very possessive. He doesn't like me talking to other boys a.k.a YOU!'
He looks at me skeptically, I think he knows about my fake boyfriend and then says 'Ayuzawa, you go one the camping trip and I will stay back okay?'
'You go, I don't need to go, you work harder than me and you deserve this' why am I be suddenly so nice to him.
'Will you come too if I promise not to do anything perverted?'
'How can I trust you?' I thought out aloud... oops...
'You have my word...' he smiled
'No! I have lost my faith in boys and their words. I have a better idea, if you do, do something perverted I will beat you up then and there, no matter who is looking... okay?!'
'Sure' he stuck out his hand for me to shake
I take his shake and shake it gladly.
To my surprise the trip went smoothly and Takumi didn't do anything to me. I had a blast!
I come to the station at 6 am and take off my jacket and sit at my desk preparing to get to work. At exactly 6:02 am the fire alarm rang. I run to see where the location was. It was near my house. I couldn't do the mission alone, I needed someone else... Takumi usually arrived at 6:15 am. I call him using the station phone.
'Hello Usui!'
'Yah, Ayuzawa' sometime I like it when he says my name like that
'There is a fire near my house and no one is here right now!' why am I yelling!
'Sure, I will come to your house-' he says calmly but I hear the rush in his voice
'And I will pick you up, okay?'
'Misaki are you okay doing everything by yourself for the first time' how did he know it was my first time?
'Yah! I am fine' he doesn't need to worry about me he just needs to make sure that he comes to my house on time! GOD! That actually sounded like I wanted him in my house! YUCK!
'Okay' he hangs up
I did everything that needed to be done and race to get to my house. I see him waiting there and he sees me. I faintly smile at him and he hops in the truck.
'How many people are there?'
'Just one but the house is probably not going to make it'
He ran to the back of the truck to change. He came in a flash. Takumi sat beside me.
