sickly sweet ( k . saiki )

EXPOSED

Saiki couldn't believe that she was here again. 

Good grief. What is she doing here?  Again?!

Because just a few metres behind him, on the other side of the corner and her head poking out, was Shina. It was 8 in the morning, the sun was too bright, his friends were way to loud and there's a stalker? Jeez, he can't take a break. 

"Yesterday, I was on the toilet for a record of 1 hour." Nendou blankly said. "It's probably because I ate ramen for breakfast, lunch and dinner." 

"YOU SHOULDN'T BRAG ABOUT THAT!!" Kobuyasu yelled, nearly bursting Saiki's eardrum. 

"Sharing is caring. I'm just telling my friends." 

"Well- yesterday, I was on the toilet for 1 hour and 1 minute so, your record is beat." Kaidou stopped walking to strike a dramatic pose. "It's been a while since the Dark Reunion had blessed me with that much time alone. Unless..." 

"Aw man." 

They really suit Saiki's personality. 

Saiki almost turned around to look at Shina with the deadly glare. But he composed himself. Do not compare me to these nut-brains. 

They soon reached the school. Shina, once again, clapped her hands 2 times. Two men in black appeared from thin air and handed her a perfect folded uniform. "Thank you very much."

Shina laid a composed, strangely unnoticeable demeanor as she walked in through the gates with the teacher up front nodding towards her. She gave him a slight smile as she reciprocated a nod. Easy. 

Shina again looked towards the school, where she expected Saiki to be in the process of walking towards. But in the split second that she had looked away, he had vanished!

"Saiki, Saiki, Saiki. Where are you?" Shina whispered to herself, eyes darting around like crazy. 

"Shino?" 

Shina turned around when a very noticeable light blinded her. She winced as her eyes slowly got used to the blinding light. Teruhashi spoke in that given time, "Saiki? Why are you looking for Saiki?"

"Huh?" Shina said. What in the..? I don't have time for this. 

Instead of waiting patiently for her eyes to get used to the sun like light, she walked opposite of Teruhashi's direction, completely ignoring her and walking towards the school. Hey! How dare she ignore me! That weirdo told me about Saiki's girlfriend. I wonder if they're still together. Maybe I could meet the girl so I can know what she's like. Ugh. Too many people are around. 

Shina rapidly shoved her empty bag in a locker with the key that the men in black had strangely given her. 

She stopped to observe the different pathways that might lead her to Saiki. She tried to make up her mind, while people gave her stares of annoyance as she stood right in the middle of the hallway. 2nd floor here I come! 

Good grief. 

Saiki, on the 2nd floor, ran into cover of a bathroom cubicle. 

"Hey, have you seen Saiki?" 

"Who?"

"Nevermind."

She switched to another person. "Have you seen Saiki?"

"Uhh."

"You know.. Pink hair, glasses, about this height?" Shina desperately described. She was doing cartwheels trying to get even get someone to recognise his name.
