Earth To Kaminari!

"My Wish?" (I)

The image above was the original story cover, but I had to change it ;-;

"Aren't you turning 16 this month, Kaminari?" Omake asks curiously, to which Kaminari stutters in reply. "I-I am, June 29th." Kaminari was never fond of  the people in his age group, who also died young. He preferred others, like Jimina, his best friend. Jimina was a girl who entered Heaven only 3 years ago. Suicide, actually, she doesn't talk about it much. She makes the best jokes and is quite positive for someone with such a dark past. She's older than Kaminari, only by 2 years, even so, they are closer than most.

"So," Omake dragged his 'o', "What's your wish going to be?". Kaminari, being honest, didn't know. He thought about going to Earth, but never gave it his time of day. He enjoyed watching people on the television like screens (more for people with loved ones they wanted to watch over) but never gave it much thought. Jimina called him a "people watcher", seeing as he would do that if he wanted some form of entertainment. Even so, he hadn't pondered into the ordeal, like he said prior. He was just a hyper, trendy dude with nothing better to do than mock people.

Realizing he hadn't responded to Omake, he quickly answered: "I haven't thought about it much". Omake arched one eyebrow. "Dude, everyone is like freaking about their own, but you 'haven't thought about it much? I call baloney!" Kaminari wasn't awake enough right now to deal with bickering. He wanted to just get up and leave, but did not, seeing as that'd be rude. "I just haven't decided on it, lay off it, will 'ya?" Omake shrugged, making Kaminari's blood boil to a simmer. He hated when people forced things upon him. He was a teenager, after all. According to most, he was a bratty, emotional, dramatic soon-to-be-adult. The last two could be proclaimed to be the same thing, Kaminari agreed. As one of many who were teenagers, they were bratty. Some more than others.

Shinso Hitoshi was never a people person. He normally just sat in class and did his best to pay attention and not space out. Today, although, was an exceptionally hard day to not fall into another daydream. Japanese literature. Don't get him wrong, Shinso liked to read and write, but the class can be so boring. Especially with this specific teacher. All she did was write what they were learning on the board and expect them to sit quietly and not fall asleep. They had already learned what they were going over, making it more agonizing. It was going to be 50 minutes of sitting and listening. With that said, class started 15 minutes ago, meaning, Shinso still had 35 minutes of suffering to endure. 

Shinso liked school. He just had a hard time ever since transferring to a new district. Seeing as he isn't a social person, he hasn't made any friends. He doesn't mind the loneliness, though. Even so, he'd be lying if he said he didn't want at least one friend. Sitting alone at lunch, the last pick for partners, and shitty partners in group projects. It all just made him want to talk to people. He didn't do it because he was afraid to be used again, like in his last school. 

~~Time Skip~~

As Shinso walked home, he thought about a magical boy falling out of the sky, granting him his wish to have a friend, and then them being friends until death does them part. To which Shinso scoffed, no magical boy was going to fall out of the sky.

The more and more Kaminari was left alone to think, the more he honestly thought he would wish to be sent to Earth. He knew if he did, he wanted to be where he was supposed to be born. He always wanted to go to Earth, I mean sure it was corrupt as hell but at least he wouldn't get bored.  

The rest of the evening, Kaminari waited in awe for his birthday to come. He finally decided to just say "fuck it" and go to Earth. He was excited to see attractions and people. It was exciting to have something to look forward to. Of course, the more he thought about it, the more he would begin to overthink it. "What if no one could see him?" "What if he wasn't where he was supposed to be?" "What if no one liked him or thought he was weird?" "What if the entire world got nuked!?" The more he thought, the more scared he got. So many things could happen, in such little time. 

"How do regular humans do this shit?" Kaminari thought to himself.

 After all, in Heaven, there isn't any real reason to get up. I mean, sure, you can do anything. Anything from something as simple as watching TV to skydiving or something crazy like that. Even so,  anything can get boring when you've been there 16 years. He began to worry he would be out of place more than anything. Denki Kaminari was ready for change, sure, but he was still nervous. It's not like he could prepare himself either. I mean, how in the world do you prepare to go to Earth? He chuckled at himself. He sounded like a stressed astronaut who had been on the moon too long. Just before Kaminari decided to swish away all his thoughts and try to get some sleep, he heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, Kamibabe? Can I come in?"

It was Jimina. Shit. He had been so wrapped up in himself that he forgot about his closes friend. Cussing himself out, he opened the door. 

"Jimina! What's up? You normally are binging a new Netflix series at this time." She laughs, "Yeah I would, but, if my friend is possibly leaving in the morning, I would much rather hang with him!" She smiles brightly at me as Kaminari smiles back. 

"Sooooo, ya' nervous?"

"Nervous is an understatement." He chuckles.

"I feel you, I feel you. You still planning to go to Earth?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry. I want to stay, trust me, I do."

"What? What are you talking about? I want you to go to Earth! I didn't come here to bring you down about it, I want you to go and have fun!"

"Wait, really?"

"Duh, really! This means a lot to you, and I know that."

"Wow...thanks Jimina, I honestly didn't expect that."

She laughs and lightly punches Kaminari in the arm, "Of course you dummy! Just don't forget about me, okay?"

"I swear I won't, you're my bestie, after all."

She smiles and leaves. Kaminari was definitely going to miss her a lot.

A/N

Hello peoples! Thank you for reading! I had a couple of endings, but I think this one's cute. I wanted to use OC's for this instead of cast, but I ended up with an OC super close to Mina, so I apologize for that. 
Sorry for any errors! Criticism is very much appreciated, as long as it isn't straight-up rude. 

Once again, thank you for reading, and I'll try to update as much as possible!
