Crap. Why did I have to join the team so late, and leaving the new guy to clean the entire sports hall?? Not cool guys.
I must of been here for about an hour by now, but i'd finally finished packing up the net, wiping some sweat from my forehead before going over and picking up my bag.
"oh, kenma you're still here?" kenma was perched on the floor between the benches, face buried in his switch with a concentration, too concentrated to hear what i said.
I sauntered over to where he was crouching and knelt in front of him waiting for some sort of reaction. Nothing. A short sigh escaped my lips before I reached out and gently pushed down the males gaming device, now having his full attention as he frowned up at me.
"Finally" a smirk approached my lips as the others face began to relax, avoiding eye contact with mine.
"how about you give me a tour to the guys bathroom Mr setter" the frown re appeared on his face as he tucked his switch back into his bag. At first I thought he was going to ignore me again, but to my surprise he stopped and turned to me once he reached the door.
"you coming or not?"
He didn't have to ask twice before I picked up my bag and ran after him, seemingly making some progress. Unfortunately that was as far as it went. As soon as we arrived outside the toilet door, kenma placed a pair of headphones on and shuffled off, avoiding majority of the crowd. I wonder why he was so wary of people but soon came to the conclusion I wasn't exactly close enough to ask him yet. Ah shit I came here for a reason and class is starting soon. It was by now I realized that I still hadn't been to the principles office, therefore I was currently maples and lost.
10 minutes later I finally arrived to my class, apologizing as soon as I entered while twenty faces watched me walk to the spare seat in the back. To my surprise, it seemed this class was about to get a lot more interesting when I saw who my desk mate was. Kenma sat across from me, headphones still on and chin resting on his hand as he payed no attention to the class but rather stared out of the window. Figuring out how to get his attention, I ended up screwing up a small piece of paper and flicking it at him, only, the first couple tries failed until my next shot landed square on his head. The smaller boy flinched slightly, taking off his head phones and turning to me who was currently pulling a cheeky grin. I couldn't decide weather I found his annoyed face cute or like I was staring at some grumpy old cat.
"Hey, you didn't tell me you took physics"
"Are you a stalker or something?" kenma was whispering but i could hear the slight irritation coming from his voice. This made me want to tease him even more.
"Stalker- hate to say it but this is a complete coincidence shorty" ah there was that eye roll I was waiting for.
"Don't call me that, and concentrate on the lecturer not me" and with that he placed his earphones back on his head and continued to look out the window. What a hypocrite. I huffed to myself and faced front, folding my arms as I tried to tune into what the professor was saying.
Class eventually finished and I shut my book almost immediately, hoping to my feet and walking over to kenmas desk, knocking on it to gain his attention. I immediately heard the small sigh come form his lips and a couple seconds later he began to sit up, placing his unused books into his bag.
"Hey, lets walk home together"
"No thanks" before he had the chance to go, I took a small step to the side in order to block his path.
"Come on man I need some friends, plus I know we live on the same street" Kenma gritted his teeth before nudging me out of the way.
"You really are a stalker huh. Hurry up, I wanna go home"
I didn't like how obedient his words made me, like a dog on a leash, but I found myself hurrying up after him almost immediately after he told me to. We were some of the last people out of school before heading home, I thought Kenma might ignore me the whole way but to my surprise that was only half true, he had his headphones around his neck instead of on his head this time, allowing a smile to creep up on my face, feeling like we had somewhat gotten closer.
"I realized this before, but when you frown you look like an old man" Kenma immediately stopped in his tracks and frowned at me, causing a chuckle to escape my lips.
"Exactly, like that" He immediately relaxed his face and looked down, his eyebrows still slightly crossed
"I'm probably younger than you" I heard him say from inside his hoodie. It did strike me that he looked a little younger, and not just because he was short.
"Ah really? Then you shouldn't try and look older by frowning all he time.. kenma-san"
"you're so annoying" a frustrated Kenma mumbled before taking his hand out his pocket and tucking a lose strand of hair behind his ear. We walked together in silence for a bit, luckily the air between us wasn't uncomfortable; it was more like we were enjoying a quiet walk home together or I was at least, but Kenma didn't seem to hate it. My house was first, so I lightly placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him walking.
"This is me, you're further down right?" Kenma nodded his head, scuffing his trainers on the pavement and ruining the front of them
"Then i'll see you at school. See you tomorrow Kenma-San" I ran to the door before he had time to frown at me and let myself in, running to the kitchen window to see kenma place on his headphones and walk off.
So he really didn't wear them cause he was with me. Nice
