It was already morning. I stood from my bed while rubbing my eyes and walked straight to the bathroom and had my bath before walking back into the room and dressing for school in my button shirt and well-ironed pants. I picked up my blazers as I walked down the stairs.
"Good morning, dad." I greeted sitting on a chair beside my little brother.
"Hey, big brother," Jiro called looking up at me.
"What?" I asked looking at his face. He looked like he was about to burst into laughter.
He just pointed at my hair and started laughing.
*This kid, I wonder what's up with him?* I thought looking away and waiting for breakfast.
*The whole school's mad.* I thought walking through the hallway and moving to my class, my hands in my pocket. *No, I think something's wrong, maybe it's a surprise or something. No, today's not my birthday. * I thought as I bumped into someone.
"Am sorry. " She said, it was Himari Akio, the school's princess.
"Oh, hey there," I said placing my hand behind my head.
"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I said smiling with my eyes closed.
She didn't respond so I opened my eyes and saw her looking away.
"Sorry about yesterday." She said and with that, she walked past me.
*Huh*
"And also," she said as I looked back at her. "You have crazy bed hair," she added and walked out.
What the fuck! Like that's embarrassing, why didn't anyone tell me? I walked into the restroom immediately and saw my messy hair.
Then I recalled Jiros' ugly face.
*That scumbag.* I thought bringing out a hair cream from my bag.
Lucky that I always carry a hair cream to change my hair style when am with Emi.
Blah blah blah
Was all class sounded like that day. I was just so tired I wished for class to end sooner. I looked out of the window and then back at the teacher.
*Fuck, it's still the third period.* I thought feeling tired.
"So that's it." the teacher said as everyone jumped up screaming and shouting.
*Hmm hmm. I didn't hear a thing. Why's everyone happy?* I thought looking around for help as the teacher left the class.
"Damn am so happy at the announcement. "Koenji said laughing as everyone agreed with him. He sat on my table smiling. "Aren't you happy Arata?" Koenji asked.
"He he he." I laughed.
"Yes, I am," I answered.
"I guess you are, my main happiness lies in what we guys were planning. " He said with a smug smile.
*Huh? Why's he smiling weirdly?* I thought.
"Yeah, I guess," I answered smiling too without knowing what was going on.
"The day's next tomorrow!!!" Ichiro the most popular kid in class screamed as the whole class of boys roared in jubilation.
"Boys are the worst. "A girl said looking disgusted.
I finally got to know the reason everyone was happy, we won't be having school for the whole of next week. I would have been happier if it were a holiday but no, it was a school trip, to Okinawa for leisure.
*Heh, how much I hate staying around people. Going on a school trip would be worse than any school activity.*
I remember the last time I went on a school trip was back in middle school 2. During the school trip, I got annoyed and beat the hell out of a boy, not someone from my school though, just a normal high school kid I met, he looked like he was in year two or so. He was walking with a girl when he pushed me, I looked up to him but he didn't apologize he just smirked and kept walking.
"Hey, didn't you ever learn to apologize?" I asked rudely, my hands in my pocket like a spoiled brat.
"Huh?" He asked turning back slowly trying to scare me away.
"You hit me, man." I said looking angry.
"You little, get the hell out of here." He said about to walk out as I held him back.
"You are causing trouble for yourself man," I said angrier than I was.
I was like why the hell can't he just say sorry?
"You little punk," he said throwing a punch at me as I ducked it.
"Show-off," I said as I kicked him hard on his knee making him fall.
"Hey, stop it." the girl with him said as I punched him hard in the face while sitting on his stomach.
"Hey little boy, stop it." the girl said as blood came running down his nose. She tried picking me up and the word…
"BITCH!" Escaped my lips.
"Huh?" I had accidentally said that out loud. I turned to see Emi standing behind me her face down.
"Wait what? No no no, I wasn't referring to you, I was just thinking out loud." I said trying hard to make her forget what I said.
"Hey Emi, am sorry. " I apologized as she smiled looking up at me.
"Let's go for karaoke, then I can forgive you." She said with a cute smile.
"It's not a problem, but I can't sing," I said scratching my hair.
"Let's go it'll be fun." She said dragging me along.
*Oh, just when I thought it'd be just the two of us.* I thought when we got there.
"You sure are popular," I said with a fake smile planted on my lips.
"Oh, there you are Emi. I brought us some drinks." a girl said running towards us. "Who's this?" she asked referring to me.
"Oh, he's Arata, my boyfriend," Emi said smiling as she put her arms in mine.
"H-hey," I greeted the rest of them came towards us. There were five more people, three boys and two girls.
"Heh, he's the guy you were talking about?" Another girl said. "He's kinda hot." She said in Emi's ear as Emi blushed. I looked over to one guy and he was burning in anger.
*Well, guess I've made an enemy.* I thought as the girls walked before us.
"Hay Hay, am Daichi Tanaka from class 2 of Dais North, call me Daichi." one of the guys said. Yeah, he seems like a loud type.
"Hi," I replied.
"The name's Kenzo. Hot guy." He said smiling, seems this one thinks he's hot, he's not bad though.
The other guy didn't talk, he just walked behind the girls as we got into the karaoke bar.
I had fun, at least a little or maybe just too much fun.
"Fuck!!" I screamed getting up.
"What's wrong?" Emi asked looking worried.
"It's nothing serious," I said with a smile. "Let's go," I said.
"But am having lots of fun." She said pouting her lips.
"Catch you guys later," I said dragging her with me and running out.
"Hey," she called as we ran.
"It's past 7," I said.
"Yeah,"
"My dad," I said.
"Oh, but you could have left me." She said.
"Wanted to walk you home, as usual," I said still running as I felt her smile.
"Okay. " She said as we kept going.
"I'M HOME!!!!!" I screamed pushing the door open just as it clocked 7:30.
"You got lucky today." Dad said dropping the bottle he held.
"W-w-wait a minute, where you trying to hit me with that?!😱"
