"I'm not capable of being alert..." ~Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom)
______________________________
"Kumiko!" My sister calls tauntingly. I groan and sit up in my bed. Shoko pops her head in my room. "Good morning!"
"Hn," I moaned, remembering I couldn't get any sleep last night.
I never get any sleep when Shizuo comes over.
I sniff and, for once, didn't smell smoke. It was odd. "Nee-chan..."
"Yes?" She puts a hand on her hip. I sniff again. No smoke.
"Where's that lovely scent Shizu-chan always brings with him? What was it... Aha! Smoke." I say, completely sarcastic. Shoko starts to get angry.
"Don't you dare! Never call him Shizu-chan!" And she stormed out. I never knew why she was so sensitive about it. I mean, I've overheard Shizuo telling Shoko something about it, like his enemy calls him that, and other stuff. And that other stuff? Well, he was just being seductive. I'll leave all that crap out.
I get up and sit down at my computer. I open to the Dollars' site and start to chat with my friends.
------------------------------------------------------------
--HanarukaMusicFreak has joined the chat
Setton: Hey, you're up early.
HanarukaMusicFreak: Yeah, well, there's a story about it...
--TarōTanaka has joined the chat
TarōTanaka: What did I miss?
Kanra: Hanaruka-kun is going to tell us why she's up so early.
TarōTanaka: Yeah, I thought you were kinda earlier than usual.
------------------------------------------------------------
I blushed. I didn't know Kanra was on.
------------------------------------------------------------
HanarukaMusicFreak: So technically I didn't smell smoke. And Shizuo's at my place. He came yesterday.
TarōTanaka: ?!
Setton: Why was he at your place?
Kanra: Hanaruka-kun's sister is his girlfriend. She told me yesterday.
HanarukaMusicFreak: I'll be right back. Shizuo's calling me.
Setton: Why?
HanarukaMusicFreak: I called him "Shizu-chan". Is this really something to be yelling about?
Kanra: I heard Izaya Orihara calls him that.
TarōTanaka: Yeah, that's true! I heard him say it once.
Setton: You get used to it after a while.
HanarukaMusicFreak: Anyway, I'll be right back.
--HanarukaMusicFreak has left the chat
------------------------------------------------------------
"Coming!" I yell, accidentally leaving the chat open. Shizuo was leaning against the kitchen wall, not touching Shoko for once.
"You called me Shizu-chan, hm?" He said, not really angry as you would think he would be. He's never berserk around Shoko. But when she's not around, he'd kill me, if he was given the chance.
"Yeah... I didn't mean--"
"Don't be like Izaya. Erase the nickname." And he walked into the kitchen with Shoko, his hand on her ass. I went back into my room and saw Kanra was... Talking about me?!
------------------------------------------------------------
Kanra: Yeah, I heard she's really pretty.
Setton: I know Kumiko. She repeated 12th grade.
TarōTanaka: Why? She's a good student; I should know, she goes to my school.
--HanarukaMusicFreak has joined the chat
HanarukaMusicFreak: You mean me, right?
--Kanra has left the chat
HanarukaMusicFreak: Why'd he leave?
Setton: He started to sweet-talk about you.
TarōTanaka: Yeah, saying you were super pretty and stuff like that.
HanarukaMusicFreak: He wanted to meet with me today...
TarōTanaka: WHAT?!?
HanarukaMusicFreak: Sorry guys, I really have to go. I'll be on tonight, okay?
Setton: Fine by me.
TarōTanaka: Same here.

------------------------------------------------------------
A private chat opened. It was from Kanra.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kanra: GOMEN'NASAI!
HanarukaMusicFreak: Oh, it's totally fine! You made me blush, too. ^_^
Kanra: I mean... I wasn't lying...
------------------------------------------------------------
I blushed. Someone I don't know called me pretty?
------------------------------------------------------------
HanarukaMusicFreak: You're so sweet, Kanra!
Kanra: >/////<
Kanra: I can't wait to meet you today!
HanarukaMusicFreak: You took the words right out of my mouth! So besides meeting, would you want to, I don't know, go out for some Russia Sushi?
Kanra: Sounds awesome! And we'll walk there, too, right?
HanarukaMusicFreak: No, we're going to fly there.
HanarukaMusicFreak: Of course, baka!
Kanra: Got it. Well, see you then, Kumiko!
HanarukaMusicFreak: Wait, how did you know my name?
Kanra: Oh, everyone knows you. The girl who always wears her headphones. The girl that walks around Ikebukuro for kicks.
------------------------------------------------------------
I shivered. Was he right?
------------------------------------------------------------
HanarukaMusicFreak: Oh, well, yeah, that's me! ^///^
Kanra: See you at 2, in Sunshine!
------------------------------------------------------------
The private chat closed. I put on my headphones and played "Trust Me" by Yuya Matsushita. This song always made me relax. I thought about Kanra. Who was he? Maybe he was the guy I bumped into? No, it couldn't have been. Maybe someone at school? No, he's 23...
I'll know when I meet him then.
