Hurricane of Glass | GonKillu

Chapter 4

(KILLUA'S pov)

A few days have passed and tomorrow is finally the weekend, I just had to get through this last day of school. I had to work in the morning on Saturday at my lifeguard job, and no I'm not allowed to swim. Its boring, sitting on a high shaky seat, surveying around the beach to make sure nobody got hurt or drowned. Nobody dumb enough to drown, yet. It was fine besides the fact that there was always at least one guy staring at my ass the whole time. Stupid tiny swimming trunks-! I always felt like when I had my lunch break, random people would start to try and flirt with me in mildly uncomfortable ways, trying to be all touchy and whatever. The fact my shorts got shrunk in the wash as Gon did my laundry and forgot it was to be hand-washed because of the kind of fabric needed to not irritate my skin. This job wasn't for me, to be honest. If someone did get swept by waves, I'd be hopeless in the effort because, well... I can't swim. I know I know, 'why would I apply for a job where I can't do the job?' Answer? ... I need money. Luckily nobody makes the applicant swim as an example for a life-guard job, or at least I wasn't. Lucky me.

Gon said that he was busy in the morning on Saturday when I did have work so i didn't mind but afterwards he said that we could hang out and he could help me practice more. I wonder what's taking up his time. But, it's not my place to worry. I really didn't wanna go to school but what could I do? The only way I'd get something good out of it would be being with Gon, and he's probaby still busy.. I was already all ready and was just waiting for Alluka to get done getting ready. I guess I have to tough it out... even if it means socializing when I'm already tired.

Once she came out of her room I was drinking water in the small apartment kitchen. It tasted slightly chlorinated, we weren't able to afford any water purifiers so we were stuck with tap water. I grabbed my bag and we began to walk to school. The whole time she had her eyes glued to her phone and she was texting someone..? 'Well maybe it's just her friend.' I thought as I brushed it off and continued to walk listening to my music flood in from the small speaker's in my ears. Alluka was becoming a young woman, I'd have to trust her and trust that she tells me everything. My mind was caught off guard by my favorite song coming on, to of which I hummed along to with a beaming smile.

Once we got to school she of course immediately ran to her friends again leaving me behind to find Gon which was easy judging by the fact that the moment I walked through the gates he popped out of a bush scaring the shit out of me, "What the hell man-?!" I wheezed as he laughed. "What-? I wanted to scare you," he said as I scoffed. Idiot.

"Yeah but would it have been funny if I had a heart attack and died?" I said as seriously as I could but was joking in my head. "I'm really sorry Killua!" He whined. "Yeah yeah whatever, I guess I'll forgive you this time," I said as he smiled. I rolled my eyes at that, he can't have me mad at him for more than long.

"Come on Killua I'll walk you to class again!" He said with a smile and I nodded. Ever since I was thrown in the closet he's been walking me to class to make sure the guys can't pick on me. At first it was embarrassing but at this point I don't really care. I honestly find it slightly endearing that he's so protective of me, like a mama bear watching over her cub. But, he's a boy and I'm just a couple months younger.

"Alright, see you next class!" He said with a hum in his tone as I nodded as I saw him dash down the hall to his class. Enthusiastic as always for class, huh? I love that about him. It makes me want to see him that enthusiastic about taking time off for himself to rest. And God he needs it all I will say. He was probably busy this morning with something Case-related, him invested in his father's unsolved cold case and all. Forget invested, he's obsessed-..

Beyond that, the day continued on like any other day. We ate lunch and did all our classes. I actually found myself to eat something healthy instead of just a bar of chocolate I mooch from Gon. When class was finally over Gon offered to drive us home and of course I took him up on that, him having a car and all that. I'm so tired of walking. We got into his small light grey Mini Cooper and he began to drive us home as Alluka told us about the drama in the tenth grade. I chuckle lightly as she recalls how her one friend Stacie tried to stitch leaves to a dress for a experiment with different colored organic specimens into a biodegradable dress, but somehow it burst into flames. Probably staged, I bet. Still humorous to think about though.
