I sighed for the tenth time . I was sitting down on the cold floor inside a dark room . Sigh . Now that was the eleventh time that I was sighing. Why the hell am I in here ? Well , I knew for instance that someone wanted me to end up here . Its not like it hasn't happen to me before , but then again ...
"Sigh..Remind me again why are you locked up in here with me ?" I turned to look at takanishi-san who was sitting beside me . For some reason , she ended up locked inside the gym storage room with me .
"How the hell would I know ? I was just told by the School gardener to return a ball that was found outside and the next thing I knew , I was locked up inside with you ." She looked at me with innocent eyes . This was unexpected , who knew that I will be locked up together with her inside the gym storage room..
3 hours ago...
"A prank ? What kind of prank ?" one of the guys asked tomoka who was standing in front of them .Tomoka had asked the group if they had wanted to play a prank , a nasty prank on ryoma .Tomoka then took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and dangled it in front of them .
"I have the keys to the gym storage room..you thinking what I'm thinking ?" She smiled evilly at the rest of her friends . They smiled back at her in agreement .
"Tomoka , you are a genius ! So how do we get him inside the storage room ?" One of them asked .
"We'll just tell him that the teacher wanted him to get something from the storage room after school. And then , we'll lock him in when he's inside." Tomoka said with a evil look on her face .
"Awesome , but what if he doesn't fall for it ?"
"Oh he will , we'll just have to make sure he takes the bait . But if somehow he doesn't fall for the trick , we'll just have to make sure he comes to the hall where the gym storage room is located and then we'll push him in ."
They nodded in agreement and turned over to look at ryoma who was still bickering with Chiyo about the nicknames .After lessons were over , they went over to Ryoma's desk . Ryoma was packing his bag and getting ready to leave until they came over and talked to him .
"Echizen-san , the teacher asked you to head over to the gym storage room." Tomoka told him , trying to act all innocent .
"What for ?"
"She said she wanted you get something for her.."
"She can get someone else , why me ? tell her i'm busy.."
"But she needs you to help her...er..with something too and the rest of us can't make it !"
Ryoma looked at her and felt that something was off . He ignored her and was about to leave the classroom when Momoshiro came into the classroom and blocked Ryoma's path.
"Ah momoshiro-senpai , You came at a great timing !" Tomoka shouted .
"Why ? what's wrong ?" he asked while looking down at echizen .
"help us get echizen-san to get to the gym storage room ! He just wouldn't listen and the teacher is already waiting for him there !" One of the girls in the group told momoshiro . Momoshiro then prevented Ryoma from leaving the classroom .
"Get out of my way." Ryoma shot a glare at momoshiro . Momoshiro then smiled at Ryoma and placed his hands on his shoulder .Ryoma shoved his body away from momoshiro .
"Oi , Echizen . If you don't do what they say , they'll get into trouble because of you .."
"So..?"
"So..your reputation is already bad enough . And you don't want to make it worse right ?"
"I don't give a damn shit about reputation anymore .." Ryoma pushed momoshiro away and headed towards the the door of the classroom when tomoka shouted and caught his attention .
"Stop being such a selfish jerk ! I don't want to get in to trouble because of you and your little pride !" She lied in order to make her plan successful . Ryoma stopped in his tracks and turned around .
"Fine , Whatever ! I just need to get this over with right ?!" He shouted , placed his bag down and walked out of the classroom. Tomoka and the others then smiled evilly to themselves . Their plan had worked .
Meanwhile , outside the school , near the school field , Chiyo was there walking around the area looking for a place to sit down and to relax when she heard a man calling out to her .She turned to look at the man and realized that it was the school's gardener.
"What's wrong ouji-san ?" She asked . Then she saw that the old man was holding on to a ball .
"I found this over there by the flowers ."
"Oh , i'll help you to return it to the school !"
"That will really be a great help , thank you ." He thanked Chiyo and passed the ball to her .
"No worries !" Chiyo said and took the ball from the old man's hand . Then , she ran towards the school and in to the school hall . After she reached the hall , she walked inside the storage room only to find that a basket of balls have fallen over and were scattered all over the floor .
"Ah , who placed the balls like this ." She went inside and helped to pick up the scattered balls . While she was inside the gym storage room , Ryoma walked inside the hall and he looked around for the teacher .
"Where the hell is that stupid teacher ?" He looked around and he saw that the door to the gym storage room was open . Ryoma went to the entrance of the storage room and looked inside .
"Sensei- AH !" Then he felt someone's hands push him and he fell inside the storage room .
"What the hell ?" He said .
"Who's there ?" A voice came from the inside of the storage room . Ryoma then looked and saw that Chiyo was inside the storage room .Chiyo looked at ryoma with a surprised look on her face and went over to help ryoma up .
"What , so you're here to help the teacher out ?" Ryoma asked . "Che , wasted my time ."
"Huh ? What ? Help who out ?" Chiyo asked and looked curiously at ryoma .
"What ? So you're not here to help sensei out ?"
"No , I was just returning a ball . what are you doing here echizen-san ?"
"I was just – hey someone pushed me in just now .." Ryoma looked angrily towards the direction of the door and saw that the door was closed . He thought that 'someone must be playing a prank on me again' .
"What ? Who pushed you in ?"
"Never mind . Lets get out of here .." Ryoma walked over to the entrance and tried to open the door of the gym storage room . Only thing is , he couldn't open it . He kept trying but it was futile . The door was locked .
"We're ...locked in ..." His face turned black and turned to look at Chiyo who was standing behind him .Chiyo heard what Ryoma had said and ran over to try to open the door . But the results were the same .
"What ? Why is the door lock ?"
"Someone probably wanted me locked up in here , and mistakenly , you got locked in with me too .."
"HUH?!"
Back to the present …
Sigh , if only I didn't bother to come here and ignored osakada's request . She's probably the one who planned this whole shit .We've tried to get out from the windows , but it was locked as well . I looked down at my watch , 6.30 . Great , if i continue to get lock in here and no one finds out , i'm going to be late for work . And then that sadistic manager will probably make me do something embarrassing like last time .I had to wear a hairband out to serve on the floor ! Everyone stared at me like I was 'gay' ! God that manager ..
"If we're locked in like this , we're going to be late for work ..No , we might not even go home .." Takanishi-san said and crossed her arms around her legs . Oh right .. I forgot about her , its not 'I' now , its 'we' . We're going to be late . Sigh .
"If only we could call someone ." She said that which reminded me of something important .
"Takanishi-san , do you have a phone ?" I asked , since I left mine in class and I was too busy to even think about calling someone .
"Why ?"
"If you do have a phone , we could call someone for help .." Is she a dumbo ?!
"Oh right ! I have one !" She shouted and dug for her phone inside her pocket . If you do have a phone , why didn't you take it out ! And I got locked in here for 3 hours ! She is really an idiot !
"Ah found it ! Lets see.."
I waited patiently for takanishi-san to call someone when she said something that made my day worse than it already is .
"Ah .. the battery is flat .."
WHAT ?! Just when I thought that I can finally be free from this hot and humid place , she told me her phone's battery is flat !? Are you kidding me ?! Argh !
"You are such a … Octopus head .." I told her . She looked at me with a expression and teary eyes that made me want to laugh .Pfft .. her expression is hilarious .
"I take back what I said … you're a meany little beansprout !" she pointed her finger at me . Beansprout ?! What ?! Okay now she just made me irritated . Then I heard the sound of rainfall coming from outside . So now its raining .
"So it's raining now ..."
"Y-yeah..." I heard a shiver in takanishi-san's voice . Why does she sound so weird . She usually have a hyper and cheerful voice whenever I talk to her and now , she's acting weird . Oh , I forgot . She's ms weirdo . I sat back , leaning on the wall and listening to the sounds of the rain . Then I heard a rumbling sound . Is it my stomach or hers ? No , it's definitely not the sound of our stomach growling . A light flashed through the window and there was thunder .
"KYA !" I heard takanishi-san shout when the thunder sounded and the lightning flashed .She covered her ears with both hands and closed her eyes shut . Wait a second , don't tell me she's terrified of thunder and lightning ? Then , the thunder struck again . She shouted again and her whole body shivered .
"Takanishi-san , are you perhaps scared of thunders ?" I asked . She didn't reply me , but instead , she nodded . Sigh . So now its raining outside and i'm stuck inside a storage room with a girl that's weird and is frightened of thunder and lightning . Could this day get any worse ?! I turned away from her and stared into the dark room . Then I saw her shivering badly now . Tsk , why am I like this ? Why can't I bloody leave her alone . I hate myself when i'm like this ! Argh ! I don't have a choice do I !?
"Takanishi-san .." I called out to her . She opened her eyes and looked at me . Argh ! Just do it Ryoma ! Its just to calm her down ! Nothing special ! Then slowly , I took her hands and held it .
"It's just some thunder and lightning . It'll pass soon . It's alright... so don't be scared ..." I comforted her. AHHHHHHH ?! I am literally screaming inside my head ! What the hell am I freaking doing ?! I just want to disappear ! She looked at me and stared silently at me . I turned my face away from her's and looked in another direction .
"T-thank you Echizen-san . I feel better already .." I heard takanishi-san's voice and I turned around and saw her smiling at me .
"N-not really..." What the hell am I doing , why is my voice shivering now . God is something wrong with me ?!
Then I heard the sound of the door unlocking . Is someone coming in ? Great ! Saved my life ! The door opened slowly and kaidoh senpai was there , standing there and staring at us . I let go of takanishi-san's hands and stared at him .
"Echizen ? What are you doing inside here ?" He asked .
I stared at the captain of the tennis team who was standing in front of me . Why him again ?
"We got locked in by accident ..That's all ..." I stood up and walked towards the door . Takanishi-san followed behind me and walked silently beside me until I felt a grip on my elbow . I turned around and saw that kaidoh senpai was holding on to me .
"What?" I shoved his hands away from my body .
"Echizen.. won't you play tennis again ?"
Again with the tennis shit ! Do I have to tell him clearly to let him know that I will never touch a tennis racket in my life ever again ?!
"I...will never touch a racket ever again ..." I told him coldly and walked out of the hall .
"Wait for me echizen-san !" takanishi-san called out to me and ran up to catch up with me . Sigh ..I looked at my watch . CRAP ! It's 7 now and my work shift starts at 7.30 ! AHHH !
"We're going to be late ! Lets run as fast as we can Echizen-san !" takanishi-san suddenly shouted and grabbed my hands and ran out of the school and towards the train station . Now that the rain has stopped , she's back to her usual self ? Argh I preferred her when she was all quiet ! We raced to the train station and managed to get on the train before in departed . We panted and gasped for air . Worse day of my life ..
"what a day , right Echizen-san ?"
I kept quiet and stared at her . Yeah , what a horrible day ! How I wish I can tell her that ! Oi.. Wait . Does she realized that she's still holding on to my hands ?! I continued to stare at her and until she realized that she was still holding my hands .
"ah ! Sorry , I totally forgot .." She released my hands . I looked away from her .
"Echizen-san , sorry if i'm asking something private ...But why won't you play Tennis anymore ?"
I looked down at her ..Tennis..I Hate it …Because ..
"I.. don't want to.. play Tennis anymore …." It reminded me of things I want to forget ..
"Why ?"
"You don't have to know weirdo ..." I tried changing the subject .
"Ahh you're back to calling me a weirdo !" She shouted . Surprisingly it worked . Wow , she really is a dumbo . Pfft I want to laugh ..
After reaching our destination , we raced to the restaurant and when I ran in to the staff room , the manager was waiting for me .
"Echizen , you are two minutes late !" The manager shouted at me . What its just two minutes . What does he want me to do now ?
"So as your punishment for being late , you have to wear this ." He held up a pink bunny suit and a rabbit's mask . Wait , WHAT ?! Don't tell me I have to wear that ?!
"There's a kids birthday party outside and we were looking for someone to do the job of the bunny . But since you're late , you'll do it ." He smiled at me. You have got to be shitting me . I'm not going out there and wearing that embarrassing outfit !
"Erm , manager . I'm late too you know .." Takanishi-san told the manager . Let her wear it then ! She'd probably do a better job than me .
"Ah Chiyo-chan is fine . Since Chiyo is so cute !"
What ? WHAT ?!
A few minutes later , I was outside , wearing this ridiculous outfit and handing out balloons to the small kids .
"Hey bunny . Aren't you a little short to be working ?" One of the kids asked me .
"Yeah and the tail is funny too."
I .. AM .. GOING..TO ...KILL...YOU ..MANAGER !
