I woke up this morning in a tired mood for some strange reason. I couldn't sleep at all.
"A-O!" my mother called from down the stairs "It's time for school you'll be late if you don't leave right now!"
"Crap!" I yelled as I rushed down the stairs while changing into my clothes and brushing my teeth.
"Your breakfast is on the table but you need to be a more responsible young lady. I just can't keep waking you up like th-"
"Gotta go mom!" I said while still chewing the toast that was left out on the table. I sped as fast as I could to school. Rushing through traffic almost getting hit by a couple of cars on the way. As I ran towards the school I saw Jiro. "Jiro!" I called
As I ran towards him
"Hey," he responded as he walked away,
"You're not getting away!" I thought to myself self quickly catching up with and hugging him,
"On your way to school?"
"Nope." He said in a strange tone
"Really! What if they find out!" I said shocked
"Stupid can't you tell when someone isn't being serious. " He said lightly hitting me on top of my head."
"I-I totally knew you weren't serious! I-I just wanted to be funny! Yea that's it! It was just a joke!" I said embarrassed
"Well I got a class to be at so ima start going now ok."
"Hold on wait up!" I exclaimed running towards him.
"Sorry but I have a class to be at soon, You wouldn't want me to be late would you?" he said running away towards the academy.
Why is he always so eager to get away from me! I thought to myself. He's going to be a virgin forever if he keeps that type of attitude towards the only girl that likes him. "That's it!" I thought to myself. It's because he has no experience with women that he is always trying to get away from me, I bet he's just intimidated by my womanly charm that he's worried that he won't be able to keep himself from me! I thought still standing on the sidewalk.
"Hey A-O, quit your fantasizing and get to class!"
"Oh hey Ruri!" this is Ruri Hikamura she's my best friend who is also a 2nd year at Shikei Academy, she also happens to be the class representative for Class 2-A. She also knows all about my feelings towards Jiro we tell each other everything just like the time she got her head stuck in the wall in our 5th-grade year.
" What are you waiting for A-O hurry and get to class!"
"R-Right!" I said running towards the academy praying that I wouldn't be late. If I was late one more time I was guaranteed to get some kind of detention after school, and if I got detention that would mean I wouldn't be able to walk home with Jiro after school. As I walked into class I saw that the class was emptier than usual.
"Why is it so empty today?" I asked Ruri " Oh yea I forgot to mention this but your actually 30 minutes early, You should've seen your face as you ran towards the school even though you were early this whole time, it's funny how dumb you can be when it comes to Jiro!" she said laughing bursting into tears.
" Listen up you !" I said grabbing Ruri by her shirt,
"I'm not stupid my alarm clock was probably too early and woke me up way too early!"
" Ha don't make me laugh you don't even own an alarm clock! You use your phone you dumb ass!"
"Well, Mabey my phone was wrong!" "Or you were too busy dreaming and having your weird fantasies about Jiro that you set it at the wrong time you dummy!"
"What did you just say!"
"You heard me!" she said sticking her tongue out at me, "
"How can you be so childish? You know it's kind of hard to believe that you are the class rep considering how much of a dumb ass you are!"
"H-How could you say that you know how sensitive I am about that you dummy!" She said running away in tears,
"Wait up I-I didn't mean to make you cry!" I said running into the hall,
"Where did she go!?" I said looking around but as I turned around I heard a loud slam behind me what was that? I thought to myself, but as I scanned looking for what I may have been I realized that one of the windows swung open.
"Oh, it's just the wind," I said walking back towards my class Mabey I'll stop by Jiro's class at lunch. I thought to myself, and after a long wait of 4 hours it was finally lunch break but Jiro wasn't in class. Where did he run off to this time? I thought to myself Mabey he was on the roof like usual, but when I got to the roof he wasn't there. "He sure is taking his time." I thought to my self, Mabey he was just late? Yea that had to the case he had to be late! As I waited the seconds turned to minutes and the minutes to hours and before I knew it I drifted away to sleep. I woke up to the sound of yells and screams coming from down the inside of the school. But who would be at the school so late at night? This voice, this voice sounded so familiar. It was a voice that I was so used to, it was Jiro! I ran down the halls towards the source of the sound. As I approached the nurse's office I could hear their voices arguing back and forth hearing the intentions Ms.Fukahara had with my Jiro! But the door was locked! I quickly took action and kicked down the door
"My my look what we have here." said Ms.Fukuhara
"Jiro!! Are you ok?!"
"Y-yea I guess so."
"How dare you hurt my Jiro you old hag!! He isn't interested in middle-aged hags like you!!"
" I literally just said I'm fine! and I'm pretty sure she isn't old at all."
" Exactly I'm only 22 you brat! So get it through that thick skull of yours! And besides, he's mine!"
"What did you say!"
" Hmpf- you heard me," said Ms.Fukuhara flicking her hair over her shoulder.
" Wait!" "Where did he go?!" Jiro disappeared! He snuck away from us right under our noses because we were too busy fighting.
"Listen up brat I'm willing to start a temporary alliance to catch him!"
"You took the words right out of my mouth granny."
" For the last time, I'm 22!"
"Whatever let's just catch my Jiro!"
"NO, he's mine!"
"There is no way I'm handing him over to an old lady like you!"
" Whatever I don't have time for this let's just get him already!"
" Whatever you say granny!" as we ran I saw Jiro he was slowing down out of breath this was my chance to get him but he slipped away like a mouse getting chased by a cat. That sneaky boy! "Come on catch up you old lady!"
"Stop calling me that!" she said dashing ahead of me. Come on Jiro don't you think it'll be fun to mess around with an older woman like myself sure I'm still young but I am older than you!"
"NO WAY !"He said running and making his way up to his stairs
"You're NOT GETTING AWAY JIRO!" I yelled jumping trying to catch him as he slipped away and slammed the door behind him making it hit my face. "OW!! This is all your fault you old hag! If you never tried to catch him and let me have him for my self this would have never happened!" that old hag stole my opportunity with Jiro now I had no hope of being happy I ran away toward my house up to my stair and up to my room locking my self into my room. Why, why did that old lady ruin everything! I said as tears ran down my face. Well, this wasn't completely bad I've never seen him with that much energy before Mabey, just Mabey there was still hope!
