Living in Japan!

Chapter 17 - Box to the Face

Ertha's POV

I sat right in front of the door waiting for Regan. It was 7 o'clock and she STILL wasn't home. As her loyal housemate I was worried about her. It also might be the fact that I don't understand my math homework, but I was worried. It had been thirty minutes since I had started waiting for Regan to get home. And frankly, I was pissed. She could've at least sent a text!

My face was turning red from anger, I'm sure of it. I stood up angrily and texted Gaara.

To: Gaara-Kun

Hey, I need help with my math.. Can you help?

Sent!

I kept my phone in my lap and sat back in front of the door once again. I waited another five minutes until my phone went ding! My body tensed in surprise.

Though it shouldn't have as I was expecting this text from Re-Gaara...

This was not going to be excused. My jaw hung low as it mocked just how angered I was with Regan. Gaara could take time out of his day to help me but Regan won't even give me the time of day to tell me where the hell it even who the hell she's going clubbing with. She could have at least invited me...

My cheeks puffed out as I opened my phone to read the text from Gaara.

From: Gaara

Hey! Yea, I can help you just send a picture and I'll show you how to solve it!

-End-

I smiled. That's sweet. I really didn't understand the homework at all so I was glad to have the extra help. I'd have to get Gaara something in return later.

-A few hours later-

It's 9:30!!! Where is she!? I was getting more frustrated by the minute. "I can not BELIEVE she would do this to me!"

I heard the key in the door jiggling and I smirked. It had been hours and I just finished my math. Of course I was fired up to get angry at Regan. Once the door opened, I opened my mouth to yell then I saw Regan with... Hidan?! What the heck???

This doesn't make sense. They weren't dressed up or anything. Also, She didn't look too unhappy. Notice, TOO unhappy. I was not able to process the scene so I just walked away to my room.

The door accidentally slammed behind me, but I didn't really care. "What was that?" I spoke aloud. "Was it a date? I mean, I'm sure she hates Hidan. Is it a love hate thing? I don't even know. I groaned and fell on to my bed. Soon after, I drifted off to sleep.

-Morning-

My alarm went off at 7:00 like usual and went down stairs like normal. I stood from my bed looking like the slug I was in the mornings. Honestly, I was not ready to go to school. Tired, lifeless, and messy was not the way to go to school, yet we do.

Walking downstairs was not an issue but still sleepy me, had other plans. Tripping over my heel, was not something I would look back on fondly. "W-woah!" I screamed as I fell forward on the stairs, landing right on my face.

"Oooooowwwww" I groaned unhappily. What a great way to start a terrible day. Picking myself up, I moved over to the kitchen for some Honey Nut Cheerios-. The sight in front of me made me scream. "W-why are y-you eating my CHEERIOS?!?!" I screamed at Regan who happily munching on my favorite snack like it was nothing.

I was fuming at this point. "Give them back." Nothing. "GIVE MY CHEERIOS BACK!" She looked up from her bowl, looked at me, then at the box. A smirk crossed her face as she grabbed the box. Now it was my turn as a triumphant look appeared on my face. My hand held out for the box.

What happened next was not what I was expecting, when the corner of the box ran into my forehead. Cheerios spilled everywhere in the kitchen. I could feel a lump forming on my head. Lightheadedness flew through me. The stair and the box were not good for me and I fell down in the oil of Cheerios.
