The weekend was over way too fast. I packed my bag yesterday. Now I have to leave. I grab the letter with information and look for the adress one more time. I wonder if Die will be pissed off or if he will bully me just some more. 'Mom, I've to leave now!' 'Ow, sweetie, it will be okay, if you feel down or something you can just call me and I'm sure you can visit me when it is all too bad. It's only for a week.' 'I know mom, thank you. I have to go. Bye, I love you.' 'Take care of yourself, Shinya!' She waves and then I'm gone. I've worried all weekend about this. What if Die will do something that will break me? I can't cry in front of him, he'll just tease me more!
I stand in front of his house, very unsure what to do. I knock, but I doubt whether they heard it or not. The door opens and a kind looking woman opens the door. I think she's about 40. 'Ahh, you must be Shinya. Nice to meet you, I'm Ayame.' She says with a smile. 'Nice to meet you too.' I bow, she does too. 'Come on, I'll bring you to Die's room.'
His mother is very kind, other than Die. 'Okay, here it is. Have fun!' I doubt that. 'Thank you.' I knock on the door. There's no answer. I collect my courage and open the door a little bit. I see Die sitting on a table with his back to me. I think he's drawing or something. 'Hi' I whisper. He doesn't react, he probably didn't hear me. 'Hi' I say a little louder. Die looks slightly over his schoulder, not looking right into my eyes, like he usually does before I look away. 'I heard you the first time.' Okay, awkward. I curse whoever came up with the idea of this project. 'So...' I say after five minutes of awkwardly standing on exactly the same spot. 'When do we get the first task?' He still doesn't answer. 'Die?' He points to his bed without looking. I see an unopened letter.
I decide to open it. If he wouldn't want me to he shouldn't have said it was there.
Die and Shinya,
This is your first day from two weeks and you have to spend each day together. The task for today is an easy one. Just try not to ignore eachother and find out the basic things from you partner, like favourite colour or food, sports, music, etc...
Good luck!
Wow, did they know about the ignore thing before? And what do they mean, easy? Well, looks like Die has to talk to me after all. Great. He will just tease me some more. I put the card down and sigh. Die picks it up and reads it. First he sighs. 'Great!' Then he glares at me. Like this is my fault! He looks very, very pissed off. 'We'll do the questions tonight. For now, just do whatever you want to do. I'm going to draw. Just don't disturb me. Ugh, I hate this.' Yeah, me too. Just great. This is going to be a long week. At least next week I'll be home.
It's 5pm. We'll have dinner soon. Die didn't say a thing, unless it was really neccesary. When I asked if I could see his drawing, he got even more annoyed. I hate this day. I didn't have a lot to do, so that left me thinking and being in Die's house is just a little too much. I want to cut myself really bad, but on the other side I don't, because I want it to stop and I promised Guitarhero to at least try it. I started drumming on my knees, trying to airplay some songs. I helps me a tiny bit to distract my mind. 'Stop it!' Die shouts suddenly. I gasp. 'I-I'm
s-sorry.' I stutter. He keeps glaring at me, fortunately, Ayame calls us for dinner.
