What's Your Name? | MY LITTLE MONSTER - Kenji Yamaguchi

TWO

Still after those two meetings, he couldn't get her name. Kenji sighed to himself as his teacher taught the class. He tapped his own to the desk, leaning his head on his hand. What is wrong with me? He'd ask himself.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, if you'd please stop that annoying tapping, I might be able to teach the class." His teacher said to him, making Kenji look up and stop what he was doing. "Did you hear me?"

"Uh, yes." He lied. His mind drifted elsewhere the entire time his teacher was speaking.

"Alright." The teacher said and turned back to the board. A wave of chuckles and giggles flew through the class. "I hope you kids are writing this all down for the test tomorrow."

Kenji along with everyone else groaned but wrote.

After school, Kenji decided to get some food at a local cafeteria, Sudohbucks. When he walked in, he ordered some coffee. When he got his drink an turned around, he saw a white haired girl sitting in one of the booths, with a purple aura surrounding her. He approached her table and saw her furiously erasing a sheet of paper and her dropping the utensils in her hand. She sat back and took a sip of her drink. Just then did she notice the blonde slipping into the cushioned seat in front of her. "Oh, it's you." She said and smiled. "It's kind of creepy how you're everywhere I am." She say quietly.

"Huh." He said and pulled out his books.

"Who said you could sit here?" She asked. Then, she pipped up, waving her hands in front of her. "Sorry, sorry if that came out mean or something."

"Whatever." He says and opens the books. Damn. I should at least be a bit... I don't know. I just want to know her name. He heard growling and looked up from his studies to see the white haired girl glaring at the paper in front of her. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I can't get this!" She whined and threw her arms up in the air. "It's too hard!"

"You act like a kid." He said bluntly. "Seriously." He sighed. "Let me see." Kenji sat beside her to look at her paper. "Really? How can this be hard?"

"That's not it. It's that one." She pointed in horror at the other page. "It's evil." She said in a cute voice, like a child's.

Kenji looked at her with a cocked eyebrow then at the question she pointed at. "Oh. I don't know it." He sat back at his seat. "Just skip it or something."

She shook her head and pulled out her phone. She snapped a photo of the question and began to text. "My friend'll help me. She's super duper smart."

"What's her name?" Kenji asked. "I might know her."

"Her name is Yamato. Ah!" She looked at the text this 'Yamato' person sent back. "Ohh ohoho, I see." She wrote furiously on the paper. "I get it!" She beamed. "It all makes sense now!"

Kenji cracked an unintentional smile and noticed it. He cover his mouth with his hand. What? He thought to himself as he looked back at the girl who was smiling the entire time she answered a question.

She suddenly looked up at Kenji with a grin then dropped it. "You're not studying. Is something wrong?" She asked.

"No! I just needed a short break, that's all!" He began to write again.

"Hey, I never got your name." She said with a grin.

"Kenji Yamaguchi." He nodded his head to her.

"Yamaguchi....hm..." She pondered, making Kenji look up at her. "Ah!" She baked her fist against her palm like she figured something out. "Mountain mouth!"

Kenji's pencil snapped in his hand and he felt like he was drifting away. "...What?" He cocked his head to the side.

"Yamaguchi means mountain mouth! Doesn't it?" She smiled cutely and giggles at his open mouthed expression. "Hey, you okay?" She waved a hand in front of him.

"Guh...uh...pssh....tuh...yeah." He stuttered.

"Your drink is getting cold." She said as she took a sip of her cappuccino.

"So, uh, what's your name?" Kenji asked for the third time, while taking a gulp of his drink.

"It's---" She was cut off by something like a face being thrown at the window. And lo and behold, there was, right there, staring at the girl. She laughed at the female and packed her things. "I'm sorry, Yamaguchi-san, but I have to go." She chuckled.

"Yeah. See you." He said and facepalmed when she left. "Damn."

Sorry for any mistakes.
