I skipped drama club today.
Ever since that little interaction with little ms plastic, I couldn't focus on any of my classes so I wasn't about to waste everyone's time at drama club. School's nearly out anyways. My phone buzzes from my coat and I answer it after looking at the contact.
"Hey, Tsumu. Bad news, I can't pick you up today, me 'n Suna got detention for getting caught smoking in the bathroom. Ask that Sakusa guy to give you a lift."
"Huh? Hold on, you can just sneak-"
"Can't talk right now bro, the teacher's coming in, see you." Osamu hung up. My sigh was interrupted by the ricochet of yelling. I look both ways until I see someone getting into a familiar car. It's only til the last second I see a glimpse of their hair. I squint real hard but then the car drives off. I run forward to make out the numbers on the license plate.
"Sa.."
"Sakusa!!!" That's what I was gonna say! My eyes dart over to the female running after the car, her boobs were bouncing nonstop and her uniform skirt was rapidly flowing in the wind. I chuckled when I saw the girl who tried threatening me in such a bad state. But then I remember I was about to do the same thing and thoughts start to cloud up my head.
Calling him during this whole thing would probably end up in him involved in a car crash. Waiting till the afternoon is probably the best option.
For the past half hour I've been thinking the whole walk to his house, if it weren't for the smell of flowers and fruit that I've gotten accustomed to over the years, I would've passed by his house and ended up getting lost.
It takes me some time to even step foot on his lawn without feeling like vomiting. Today was the day, the day I confronted how I felt about him. I'm pretty sure I just found out about my feelings but now that I think about it, I think I've loved him for years but I just didn't let myself know.
Knock Knock.
I hear someone trudging down the stairs like they were mad, very mad. The white door was yanked open,
"Ms. Kiyoomi! Hello." I wave my hand, well kind of, I sort of just put my hand up and dangle my fingers. "Is Sakusa home by any chance..?" His mother looked constipated honestly. I know that wasn't really what she was but she looked uncomfy. At one point, I peeked behind her and caught a peep of someone running up the stairs in a panicked manner.
"..No, I'm sorry sweetie. He's at his cousins house at the moment! Come by next time?" Her blatant lies. She's so full of it. Don't get me wrong, I like Sakusa's mom and all but I just really hate being lied to.
I simply nod and walk away.
Every day, at two pm, she leaves for work. I take this as the perfect time for me to sneak in so I push through the hours by taking a walk around the entire neighborhood. I switch on my phone and exhale my anxiety out when my eyes read 2:05 pm.
Can't back out now, can I? I wouldn't construct a whole plan and not go along with it because of stupid anxiety. I'm climbing up to his window alright- and no one can stop me.
