Chereads / World Linking High School Boy Emis / Chapter 3 - EPISODE 3 - My Seatmate, Daiki Kagoda

Chapter 3 - EPISODE 3 - My Seatmate, Daiki Kagoda

Author's Note: Takeshi is the teacher.

*They are all in the classroom*

Oh it's time for Physical Education.

Takeshi: Good morning!

Sadly, our homeroom teacher takes over the subject.

Takeshi: Okay, we'll be playing volleyball today.

Uh oh, I'm bad at that. I wonder what's the catch.

Takeshi: You will be playing by row.

Our teacher makes the craziest ideas and there's no use arguing over it.

Takeshi: You will each take turns, starting from Row 1, then Row 2, and so on...It would be a 3 vs 3 match.

At least its fair...

Takeshi: Fuuuuuuun, right? I'll give everyone 5 minutes to change, okaaaaaay?

Emis: Hey, Hiroto! Let's both change.

Hiroto: Ch-change? With you? Um...no thank you.

*Hiroto ran out of the classroom in the blink of an eye*

Why was his face very red? Well, time to go change myself.

*Emis is in the Boys' Bathroom*

Emis: Ah, done!

*Looks behind him*

Who's in this cubicle?

*Door unlocks*

Hiroto: Oh, hey Emis!

*Emis looks curiously at Hiroto*

Emis: Um, Hiroto? Why are you wearing a jacket?

Hiroto: Well, it is very cold today.

Emis: But, its the middle of summer.

Hiroto: W-Well, I just feel like it.

Emis: O-Okay.

That's odd.

*They are going down the stairs*

Emis: Are you sure you're gonna wear that?

Hiroto: Of course I am! Its my lucky jacket!

Emis: Oh, I forgot something! I'll be back in a second!

*Goes into the classroom*

*Gets something from bag*

Emis: I won't forget my water bottle.

*Goes out of classroom*

Emis: Oh, crap! No one's left but me...

*Runs down the stairs*

*Accidentally trips on the 2nd to the last stair down*

Emis: Waaaah!

*Falls on the floor*

Emis: Ouch...I think I sprained my ankle... *smiles*

At least I get an excuse, hee hee hee...

*Someone appears at the top of the stairs*

??? : Oh! Are you okay? *goes down the stairs* *looks at Emis* Looks like you're ankle's sprained. C'mon, I'll guide you to the Nurse's Office. *He helps Emis by putting Emis's arm around his*

*They arrive at the Nurse's Office*

*Emis's ankle has been treated; his ankle is wrapped with bandages; he is in bed; and the boy who helped him is sitting on a stool*

Emis: Thanks, buddy!

??? : Anytime, Emis!

Emis: Wait, how do you know my name?

??? : Because we're classmates, we're even seatmates and you don't recognize my face?

Emis: Uhh...sorry, I'm always irritated by Blueberry.

??? : Blueberry?

Emis: Ayaka Aiko, that girl always gets on my nerves. oh sorry, but what's your name? I really don't know.

??? : It's Daiki Kagoda, remember that okay?

Emis: Okay.

*They shake hands*

*Door opens*

Ayaka: So, this is where you guys are. We've been finding you two for ages.

*Looks at Emis*

Ayaka: Slacking off, I see...

Emis: *shouts* I'M NOT!

Ayaka: I'm just kidding.

*Ayaka laughs at Emis*

Ayaka: Look at you.

*Ayaka continues to laugh*

Grrrr. This girl's mocking me...Wait...is she...laughing? Its the first time I saw her laugh. She looks kind of cute.....But she's mocking me...

*Ayaka's laugh fades*

Ayaka: Well, that was a good laugh. Just don't get into trouble again, okay?

Emis: Ok...

Ayaka: I'll laugh at you if you do, teehee *smiles*. You can leave now Daiki, I'm pretty sure he can take care of himself now.

Daiki: Yup, well, I'll be leaving now. See you later.

*Daiki closes the door*

At least I made a new friend today. Lucky me...

*School bell rings*

*It's time to go home*

*Hiroto helps Emis walk by wrapping Emis's hand around his*

Hiroto: So, how's your sprain?

Emis: It's getting better already.

*Daiki shouts away from far behind*

Daiki: Hey! Let me join you guys! Let's go home together.

That's how my friendship with Daiki started. We'd always talk. We're not too close yet though. But it all changes...

*School bell rings*

*It is AM Break*

*1 week later*

*Emis is walking in the hallway alone*

Emis: ...

*He keeps walking until he sees the mysterious boy once again*

*They continue to walk toward each other until they intercept*

??? : *whispers in Emis's ear* Meet me down the school grounds next week and fight me or else...

*Emis pauses while the boy continues to walk*

What does he mean?

*He is back in the classroom*

Fight him? What should I do? I think I should ask Hiroto.

*School bell rings*

*Hiroto and Emis are in the hallway*

Emis: Hey, Hiroto.

Hiroto: Yes, Emy-kun?

Emis: The boy appeared again...

*Hiroto became serious*

Hiroto: What did he say?

Emis: He said I should fight him next week on the school grounds.

*Hiroto was surprised and he left without a word*

Emis: Hiroto?

Why is he so serious about it? I can just ignore it, right? How about I try asking Daiki.

*They are in the classroom*

Emis: *whispers to Daiki* I need to ask you something this afternoon break.

*Daiki nods*

*Daiki and Emis are in the canteen*

*Emis explains his situation*

Daiki: So this boy wants to fight you on the school grounds?

Emis: Yes.

*Daiki pats Emis's left shoulder*

Daiki: Buddy... *confidently* We are men! We do not chicken out from a fight!

Emis: No way! I don't know a thing about fighting.

Daiki: Just keep punching him in the face!

Emis: Well, okay.

There's no way 'd be fighting that guy. I think I should just ignore him.

Daiki: I'll be waiting for your fight!

Forgive me, Daiki...

*Daiki leaves*

And so, time went by so fast. One week and a day has passed.

*Emis is leaving home*

Emis: Bye, Mom!

Mom: Stay safe, Miku!

*Emis is walking to school*

Huh? That's odd. I'm pretty sure Hiroto arrives at this time.

*Emis arrives at school*

Why is it so silent?

Emis: Hello? Anybody here?

*Emis walks the 1st floor hallway*

*Emis sees something red*

What is this? It's red.

*Emis smells it*

Wait...No...It can't be...blood?

*Emis runs with all his might, stepping on the blood scattered on the floor*

No...no...This can't be happening...It must be my mind.

Hallucinations...Illusions...

*Emis arrives at Classroom 2-1*

*Emis cries*

Emis: *weakly* no...
