I reached out for my bag, took my phone just so I can confirm that we have indeed classes today... If It's Sunday, I'll just go home and eat some potatoes or something...
My eyes haven't even crossed with my phone and my attention suddenly shifted to that one student who is walking alone... At the streets where a crowd should be walking... dropped to only a single girl... Without having any further ado... I ran towards that girl, approached her... and greeted her as I would usually do to a student... Well, I already know her because I memorized all the students at my school...
"Good morning, Angela..."
Having a bright smile rivaling that of the sun... I gave her the best smile I could give her... You must be scared, I mean... It's kinda creepy having this kind of situation... So seeing a goddess-like figure, I will give you a sense of relief... I give you the honor to walk home with me, then...
But the girl just gave me as much of a glance... and didn't even bother to look at me for at least 15 seconds or longer than that... When she saw me... She suddenly became cautious and wary all of a sudden... As If... seeing a wild beast somewhere...
"Angela? Well, don't give me that cold glance... Let's walk home together, is that okay?"
I gave you the honor of walking home with me and yet you're treating me like I'm some kind of suspicious stalker! How insolent! But since I'm a merciful woman, I'll give you a second chance to redeem yourself, be grateful!
But... the next words she said to me... startled my nerves... brain... body... Unable to process what she just said, my whole brain trembles... thoughts are jumbled up... If they're tied to a knot... What? How? Why? Is this a joke? It's not funny... Should I laugh? Am I supposed to laugh? The words she just said to me... still echo at every part of my body as If we're residing in a cave... Those words are...
"Sorry, miss but... Do I know you?".
Responding to what she just said to me is a laugh... I laughed as delicately as I can, hiding the jumbled thoughts in my head... This is not a good joke but I'll play along with your stupidity...
"Hahaha, Angela... Let's just go to school, shall we?"
As soon as I finished laughing, I looked forward and continued my way to school... I walked... and walked... walked... Stepping at the soil, puddles, rocks, I continued to walk with a smile on my face without even looking. back... and when I finally did...
My eyes saw the exact terrain I just walked to... The rocks, soil, puddles... The houses and some more... But I could not see Angela... That one girl who was just walking in front of me... was suddenly gone...
"That's weird..."
Paying It no mind, I just came back to walking in the street... The eerie, dark street, I've been walking to earlier...
"This is all so strange... First, my mother is still not awake, then there are no students for me to greet... Maybe It's Sunday..."
Once again, I grabbed my phone and looked at's date like a normal person would do... But...
"It's Tuesday... We have classes..."
In contradiction to what I see right now... Today's Tuesday and that means we have classes... Another laughter just came out of my empty mouth... I laughed so hard, I didn't even mind that the other houses will hear It...
"If we have classes... I might as well go to school... Maybe all of them have diarrhea or something... Well, goddesses don't use the toilet..."
With that, I continued walking towards my school... Not minding the strangeness of these events right now... If a soldier minding his own business in the middle of a war
+++++
After a few walks and steps, I finally reached It... School... I don't know why but I felt relief when I'm finally here, yayyyyy!!!! Banzai!!! Now, let's enter the school grounds...
Once again, there are no students here but I had enough of those pranks or whatever It is... I'll just ignore It and walk straight to school... I continued to walk towards the school grounds... but all of a sudden...
"Hey there, little missy... Where's your ID?"
What's with him? This guard suddenly decided to get my ID just when I already left It at home... I released an exasperated sigh and replied to him with a smile:
"I left It at home today, Mr. Guard... Sorry, hehe..."
Now, he should let me in... I mean, he let me in until now so why wouldn't he today? It doesn't make sense...
"Ahhh, I see... Then, no entering the school grounds..."
"Hah!?"
Wha- Look at this old man who's full of wrinkles, pimples, and even blackheads!!! Until now, you always let me in without any sort of identification and now you're asking me that?! Now, of all times!?
"Please, I just really forgot It at home... Could you let It pass just for today? Pretty please..."
I smiled at him like what I usually do... As long as possible, I don't want to use this trick because a real perfect girl is not aware of her charms... Just for today, just for today...
"O...kay... It seems you're telling the truth... Just remember to bring It next time..."
I'm finally permitted to enter the school grounds... But those eyes he used on me... They're cold, lifeless... No, It's worse than that... It's disgust... Why? Why did he look at me like he was looking at an insect? Is there something on my face...
