Miuna Saki

Chapter 4: The Guy

We've been looking in each other's eyes for a minute now. He doesn't seem to mind it but I'm starting to get really nervous!! My legs are shaking and my cheeks are feeling so hot. Wait am I blushing?! I screech quickly putting my hands on my cheek and turning away from him. He can't see me like this, oh wait he must think I'm super adorable right now! I turn around to see his expression, oh was I wrong!! There it is, the same deadly black eyes that see right through you! Somehow it feels even worse this time! "U-um... H-hello my name is M-mount S-saki!", I stuttered trying to break the awkward silence. No reaction, he just keeps staring at me with those lifeless eyes. Wait a second does he even blink?! I start to stare back at him and suddenly we are having a staring contest. Ugh... My eyes are starting to hurt... I spread my eyes as widely as possible while this guy just has them half closed. How does he do it?! Ugh, they are starting to burn!! I blink repeatedly and rub my eyes when I look back at him the boy slowly blinks and has this smug smile on his face.

"What's so funny?!", is what I madly scream with my red dry eyes. The boy's smile disappears as he glares at me with that emotionless expression of his. I sigh: "This is going nowhere.." I look around the room, my eyes have gotten used to the darkness. His room is a mess... He must be one of those weird shut-ins that never leave their room and live in their own garbage... Disgusting... I look back at him and ask: "So... I told you my name, wouldn't it be fair if you told me yours?" For some weird reason, I've never seen nor heard his name. It wasn't even on his transfer file, which is really strange now that I think about it. There wasn't even a picture of him, I could have gotten to some random perverts house!! Wow, the situation could have been much worse! Why doesn't this guy react to me, maybe he didn't hear? I lay my phone on the ground and sit down in front of him smiling gently: "Hey would you mind telling me your name?" He turns his head away from making the clothes on him fall over his head. Um! RUDE!!! "YOU KNOW WHAT!! I'M DONE WITH YOU!!", is what I scream as I storm out of the room. I slammed the door closed and the loud smack of it closing almost covered up my hysterical annoyed scream: "UUGGGHHHH!!!" I said almost for a reason because the boy didn't hear but Mrs Rose did, who was, by the way, wiping the tea I spilt on the floor earlier. She has a shocked impression on her face but it quickly turned into a letdown. "Um... Mrs Saki, could you come here over for a second.." Oh crap... Out of all the people I showed my ugly side to the principal!! Fuck my life...

I slowly walk towards Mrs Rose. I sure hope she will forget about all that just happened... Mrs Rose stands up with the tea plate. "Mrs Saki...", her voice sounds so sad when she says my name that I'm starting to feel sorry for her without even knowing why. "Um yes Mrs Rose, is something wrong?" She starts to walk towards the stairs. Oh no, she must be thinking that I just dropped the plate on purpose... Well, that is basically what I did... But she doesn't need to know!! I have to stay the perfect student! I quickly skip forward and ask her smiling cutely: "Oh Mrs Rose please let me carry this for you~" Mrs Rose shakes her head as she refuses: "Don't worry I can handle this, there is just something I want to discuss with you..." She sounds once again a bit concerned and I'm starting to worry. What if she thinks I'm a bad person now?! She is the freaking principal, she can make my life a hell!!! I sigh and sadly say: "Oh.. Okay.." As we walk down the stairs I'm already starting to see my life crumble. If my life at school gets ruined there really won't be any place left for me where I am someone... I'll just be a zero everywhere I go... Ugh, my life is over!

As we reach the first floor Mrs Rose walks to the kitchen and puts the tea plate in the sink. I'm so screwed... I fall down on the couch sighing. "Is something bothering you Mrs Saki?", asks Mrs Rose and she is cleaning the tea plate and everything on it. I quickly sit upright like a little obedient girl: "N-no nothing is bothering me, Mrs Rose!" Except for that stupid jackass upstairs!! But of course, I couldn't let her know that there might be a slight chance that she still thinks I'm an angel~ And I'll take those chances! Mrs Rose walks over to me and sits down on the other couch: "So Mrs Saki.." Oh no... Here it comes, she is going to scream at me... I hide my face behind my hands waiting for the worst to come... "Mrs Saki I would like you to come here after school and try to convince him to go to school" "YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?!!", I quickly cover my mouth. I mean I'm happy that she didn't scream at me but I'm not sure if I should be happy with this outcome! I mean I can't really reject her after my crazy loud reaction... It would make me look like a horrible person... I stand up and nervous rub my legs against each other: "I don't know Mrs. Rose... I don't think I have the time for that..." There is no way that I'm helping this little brat!! "Could you please reconsider... It would mean a lot to me..", Mrs Rose sounds a bit desperate. "I-I'll see what I can do... But I can't promise you anything!!" As I walk towards the door I hear someone rushing down the stairs.

There is no way in hell that I will spend my precious time on an arrogant brat like him! But then the weirdest thing happened I turned around and saw him, the rude lazy mean unsocial looking down on me guy with the dead black eyes, but something was different. Even though his as were still as black as the letters in the Mangas I read, they didn't look through my soul anymore. It was more like they showed a genuine care in something. "W-what are you doing here?!", is what I stutter out of surprise. The boy looks down as if he couldn't even look me in the eye like he did for 10 minutes straight or so before. He was holding something behind his back and looks kind of nervous. Even though I was surprised, Mrs Rose had her mouth wide open. He slowly moves his hand from his back and he is holding... My phone?!! What?!! I quickly search through my pockets but it's nowhere to be found. "Y-you left this..", his voice was way lower than the others boys at my school and he has some kind of accent I've heard somewhere before, but I just can't put my finger on it! Mrs Rose suddenly collapses, but I'm too distracted to even notice her faint. His voice is not the only thing different about him, now that he is actually out of his dark room I can see him more clearly. His hair is a bit long but curly and a real mess there are even plastics wrappers living in it. His skin is darker and he is way taller than Japanese people, he is probably from another country. He is starting to get annoyed so I quickly grab my phone and smile: "Thank you~" He suddenly looks disgusted and says: "Don't leave your crap in my room..", as he turns around and walks away.

I stand frozen still as he walks up the stairs. I know this scenario but I've never been on this side of the spectrum. It looks like I just got rejected... I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS GUY!!! You know what, fuck this shit I'm out! I walk out of the house and grab my phone. When I go through the gate I go in the school's direction. But then I look at my phone: "It's 12:30?! How long have I even been here?! You know what screw all this! I'm too frustrated to go to school anyways!!" As I turn around I see Mrs Rose and I freeze in place. Did she hear all of that... She doesn't look shocked or disgusted by anything so... Mrs Rose is about to say something and I flinch: "Shall I give you a lift to school?" I slowly remove my hands from my face and notice the red Mercedes: "I'd that your car Mrs. Rose?" "Yup", Mrs Rose presses a button on her keys and the car beeps: "So do you want a ride or not?" "Um...", I much rather go with the car than walk so why not: "Yes, I will gratefully ride with you~"
