It's class hours. I'm finding myself a stupid now. I was supposed to get up around 5 and do my homeworks which I left. On top of that, I didn't bring any of the homework copies. Yes, this is the moment I'm supposed to have a lightning strike through my heart. But, luckily I've my super genius friend Kaigara.
"What!? You are really hopeless. Alright fine. I'll come up with something. But you'll have to do a favor."
"What favor."
" I dunno. I'll figure out later."
I don't know what he's gonna do to save me from this light saber of standing in the hallway but I Know it'll be brilliant. He is volunteering to take all the homework copies. I wander what the plan is
Later that day, I find him going to the teacher's lounge. Wait, is he going to pull out the "homework jagger" technique. For whom of you don't know what Homework Jagger is, it's a technique used in the ancient Asia by our ancestor students. He's going to follow our ancestors. May god protect you buddy. If he dies in this battle he shall be remembered by the student body. About half an hour of anxious wait he comes out untouched and unfound with a joy of victory in his face.
"So, how did you do it?"
"It's a secret." He says Making a cute anime girl wink. Whatever it was, he is safe and I'm saved. But now I have to worry about what dare he'll give me, great.
"You can't defeat me. I'm the best at this game. You shall die, densetsu."
"Shut up, you moron.", I pull out the victory move and Kaigara loses.
"No! It's unfair. I was gonna win. You cheated.", Kaigara starts crying lying on the floor while throwing his hands up and down. He's looks so weird. Like big chungus in his 8y/o. He keeps this up for about a minute while I just keep looking at him doing this while trying to control my breath so I won't laugh. I'm not supposed to laugh. I'm supposed to be that emotionless type now.
His mom comes in with snacks. It's popcorn and juice with some apple slices at side.
"Have some snacks, kiddos."
"Ok, mom. Just leave it there. Thanks for the food."
"Kaigara, I told you not to lie on the floor!"
"K."
"Are you even listening?"
Yes, I am. I'll get up sometime soon."
"Come on, Kai, you should listen to your mom." I tell him while eating a slice of apple. "Boy these are good."
"You like it, densetsu. I can bring some more if you want."
"No thanks, auntie."
"Jeez mom, you never ask me that politely.", Kaigara pouts.
"If you were a good kid like Densetsu, I'd have."
"Ow yeah? What's so good about him?"
"He's not sitting on the floor like you."
"Fine. I'll get up."
Kaigara gets up and seats beside me taking a hand full of popcorn. His mom leaves the room with a smile.
"You know, I wonder.", says Kaigara, "What would be your mom like? Would she say sweet things to me too?", he puts some popcorn in his mouth while looking at the screen.
I don't blame him for saying that. I sometimes wonder too. What she was like? What she did for me? What would she say about Kaigara? What would she even say if she found me playing games and watching anime all day? Would she be mad? Or, perhaps, ask me politely? She is a complete mystery to me now. Like a dream, no feelings are left when you wake up from it, some of the important details also fade away.
