Ding Dong.
What just happened that night?
"Takahashi-kun?"
Haru-nii completely took the wrong idea!!
"Umm,Takahashi-kun?"
What do I do now? Now he thinks Akira likes me,and I'm a good match for her? Did he hit his head too?
"HEY SHITHEAD!"
Bang.
"That hurts...flatass!" Pinning her head down,I applied more force to my fingers.
"Ta-takahashi-kun?"
"HUH?" I don't have the time for this shit.
"U-um. Nevermind!" She rapidly placed the posters on my desk and ran away. I let go of that dumbass and stared at the posters. Oh. They were for the blackboard. Some of the classmates actually submitted the posters.
"Nice job scaring her away. Now,you'll never get a girlfriend." Akira patted my back and went her way to fix the bird nest on her head.
Girlfriend? Like I need one.
Everyone's saying strange things. Speaking of strange. Akira's also strange. She keeps averting my eye contact every now and then. Is there something wrong with my face?
-------
Every now and then....
"Sooo I don't get the point! How did you get that?"
You give me headaches.
"Like. I . Said! You multiply the whole equation with 2 so then the denominators will be cancelled out because they're 2." She titled her head and gave me the dumbest look of confusion.
"You know,if the textbooks could sue you,you'd end up in court charged as guilty."
"Shit."
"It's a joke,dumbkira." She held the pencil in her hands tight and smiled at me. A deathly one.
"I mean look at your grades! How did you even get in the school?" Revealing her quiz papers,she frowned then dropped on her back,thank god the sofa was behind her. Or else she could've gotten hurt again.
"It's been a month...why don't we move on to another subject or study for the next quiz?"
"A-ki-ra-san. I'm afraid you've forgotten that you "studied" the other subjects,ate two bag of chips.Demanded hot tea from me and promised to actually study. To add you said you wanted to calculate math first! Give me mercy okay?! I had to go all my way just to put up teaching you with basic shit like 1+1!" I ranted banging on the table.
"Akira! Listen to me you dumbass!"
"Ahhhh! Fine Fine! I'll study. There ya happy?"
"STUDY! I didn't put up with your shit for a whole month for nothing.At least get some 2-digit numbers or go find someone willing to teach someone as oblivious as you."
"Sora,you're mean~" She leaned on the table and stared at me with puppy eyes.
"I'd rather die in a dirty ditch than having you say that." Akira made a disgusted face at me,while I on the other hand was rolling my notebook. You like games so let's play a game shall we my dear Akira~?
-------
Bang.
"Wrong! Solve it again."
Bang.
"You forgot to the put the minus sign." I hit her head with the rolled-up textbook again.
"Is it really important?" She asked,rubbing her head.
"Would you eat cheese burger without cheese?"
"No..." Akira pouted and faced the numbers again.
She really is trying...
"Can I have a break?"
"It's only been an hour." I sat down and opened my phone. Oh,it's been two hours. You really tried your best.
"What are you? A study monster?" I laughed at her statement. It's 9 at night and tomorrow we have a test. I think it's better if we pack up so that Akira can head home,Haru-nii is waiting for her too. About her dad,seems like they won't be seeing him again. That's a relief. A month since then huh...
"Oi Akira-"
Oh. She's sound asleep. I got up and carried a blanket from the guest's room,well,her room when she stays here. I covered her body with it and tucked the sides where the air might go in.
"You did well tonight. Oyasumi, Akira." I yawned,guess I should head to bed too. The past month's been fun. Fun...I think I got her disease on me. I feel this fluffy warmth and happy these days.
--------
But little did I know...
Bizz
That "fun"...
[Dad : Hey,big guy! It's been a while,the shitty business trip is over now so I'll be home around tomorrow night I guess? Have you been eating well? Did you make any new friends? How's Akira and Haru? I heard you helped them resolve the case! That's my boy! I'm so proud of ya. Oh and,it's probably not the best choice to text you this,but your mom wants to see you...so if it's alright with you bud,I'll make time for the both of you. But don't mind that much,you don't have to think too much. Love you buddy!]
And my happiness...
[but your mom wants to see you...]
Is always ruined by her.
[Sou-chan : Hi,dad. I'm doing fine,so are the two. How have you been? If you want I can make your favorite teriyaki if you want. It's been three months since I saw you and school is going well too. I've been having fun with studies,I did meet new people but I wouldn't risk calling them friends just yet. And for now,I want to keep things the way the are...but first instead of minding that,you should rest. Don't stare too much at the screen,take lots of rest on the plane and don't be picky about the food they serve. Goodnight dad!]
"Mom" huh?
'I WISH I NEVER EVEN MET YOUR FATHER!'
