Ever since that one vacation where you nearly drowned, you've been interested in what you saw. The ocean is deep, cold, and wide, many people will think that this is depressing and scary but for you, it is a treasure more precious than the m...
The disappointment on your face was so evident for the world to see. Displeasure, anxiety and anger was mixed inside who like it was a nasty pasta sauce, you bet it was even sour. The crying boy beside you didn't help either. You've never been so uncomfortable in your life, everything is touching and brushing on your skin and it felt cold yet you were uncontrolably sweating.
"It was that instructor's fucking fault." was all you could mumble out while you wait for your teacher to come back.
You finished the test and scanned the last time earlier, you saw a mistake, a huge mis-calculation, and tried to correct it but you felt a hand on your shoulder and saw the girl infront you. The time was up. Obviously, you didn't get to correct your sheet and got second place. You weren't pleased by the results and almost screamed when you saw your name beside the "2nd" lettering on the huge rank chart.
"Yeah, it was." you saw clean hand gestures in front of you.
This was another problem. Since he was first and you were second, you were sat next to each other. You tried to ignore the guy but he just kept on being so distracting.
"Shut your mouth." a small glare was what he recieved from you.
He looked down at you, an eyebrow raised smugly. "I didn't talk nor made any noise." the movements of his hands stated.
At this point you would prefer to talk with the crying dude, who got 3rd, at the other side of you but the guy despised you with all his very being.
The 3rd hates the 2nd and the 2nd hates the 1st. How fucked up, it reeks jealousy and even envy. You never felt like this, you never felt jealous about ranks because you were usually 1st. You believed you're going to achieve first place, everyone did. Not only did you disappoint yourself, you felt like you have no face to show anyone because you didn't met their expectations. You didn't get what they wanted for you to. In the past, you always did. From gifts to right answers, you didn't miss. You always got what you wanted at the very end and won. But now... you are so close at punching the guy beside you because of the ugly feelings of resentment.
You sighed, maybe it was a deep breath because you've been holding it in for a while now, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Is that so? From my lack of abilities to hear, you're screaming ego is so loud it annoys me. Don't get too full of yourself, Ishigami. I'll beat you next year."
He laughed, "I was not planning on entering next year but sure, I'll go for you. Suit yourself, missy."
You didn't look at him, deciding that it's better to ignore him before you could get land a punch on his stupid face. What's so great about him anyway? He just finished the test first, acted calm all the time, was being friendly towards you, agreed with you, he looks clean and proper, he surely is rich because he wore a rolex and his looks aren't that bad. He isn't that great. You are way better, you believed it. It's immature but you blamed your disabilities.
Overthinking won't help so you decided to use your phone instead, checking Twitter for anything to not think too much about your current situation. Memes, anime fanarts, cats, drawings, selfies, photographs, science facts and NASA and NOAA updates. It randomly flooded your time line. There's nothing new today, but seeing some retweeted unwanted tweets of thirsty anime fans ticked you a bit making Senku glance at you. He quickly scanned your phone and at that moment he saw a new post from NASA, a new rocket cargo was about to be launched. He gasped and grabbed his own phone to check the live stream of the take off but he disappointingly stared at a black screen, his phone is dead.
You felt your shoulder beings gently nudged, you tried so hard to ignore it but your temper doesn't work too well. Sighing with irritation, you turned your head to the side and saw him moving his lips and hands to communicate with you.
"NASA's about to launch a rocket."
One of your eyebrows moved upward, "Okay?"
"Watch it." He impatiently demanded.
"Why would I?" You swear to the beings above, you're quickly hating this guy more and more.
Senku scanned you like you said something dumb and unbelievable, you imagined stabbing him immediately. How rude, looking at you like that.
"Because it's going to space! Watch it. Its interesting."
Was he trying to say that you should learn about it? "Look, Ishigami. I've watched and learned about what happens during a rocket launch. I don't need it."
"Not that idiot!" you balled your fists with his words, "I want to watch it."
The doubt you had when you were just learning sign language and reading lips appeared once again. Did you read that right? What is this reasoning? Was he seriously telling you to watch a rocket video because he wanted to watch it?
To keep yourself from embarrassment, you asked for a repeat, "Excuse me?"
"My phone died, I can't watch it there. So let me view it on your phone, (l/n)." He said slowly, face totally serious.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD I?!?" your voice banged the hallways, you didn't realize that you let your voice out too much. A senior immediately silenced you.
At the end of the day he didn't get to watch on your phone. There's one thing that you realized, you hate Ishigami more than anything that day.
