Hello, I'm Kurai.
I already introduced myself before, so I won't bother.
Anyways, the summer break is over, and I'm going to a private school this year.
The boys in public schools are a bunch of pricks, they infuriate me with their bickering and bullying for stupid reasons.
They picked on me for having a skirt as long as a dress, then they picked on me for having the legs of a pig.
Not that I care, but I want some peace of quiet, so I used mind control to make my parents change my school without me having to ask.
And now, this is my first day at this school, I think it's a first year in high school, whatever, time is subjective (at least to me).
But I didn't even step inside the school before being stopped in front of the gate, oh god.
-HEY YOU!
-Yes sir?
-What's up with your skirt, it's too long, it's even touching the ground
Oh that, I don't like short skirts, dealing with keeping myself covered with that small thing while there are a lot of perverts around, so every time my parents get me a uniform, I stretch the skirt to be long, usually whenever teachers complain I use the loophole in the rules that there isn't a max length, because of course I can't say all that, so I'll say the same to this imbecile
-Sir, it's chilly, and I'm uncomfortable with short skirts
-But it's too long! you are violating the dress code!
-But sir, there isn't a rule about a max length
-Are you sure about that young lady?
He pulled out a rule book, and pointed at a rule, oh god, they have a max length.
He is too infuriating, I wish he would just shut up already, all I have to do is erase the rule, just with some mind control I made sure the author in the past forgot to mention it, and now "poof", that rule is now not in the book, all I have to do is just gaslight that teacher
-But sir, there is nothing about a max length
The way he checked the book, the look on his face is priceless.
He must be a newbie, he is too strict to be an experienced teacher, humans are easy to read, whatever, I can just walk away now;
-Where do you think you are going , young lady! I'm not done with you!
God, he is annoying, the bell is about to ring, I really want to get in early to find my class.
I don't think his words are worthy of remembering, he is rambling nonstop, I can make him mute, but as I said, I want to live like a normal human, so these powers are off limit.
There is a tree with falling leaves, I can make one of the leaves fall into his mouth so he accidentally swallows it, but if that happens and I just walk away, I'm guaranteed to gain an enemy, he seems to surely hold grudges, it's no use, I have to use my secret weapon.
~sobs~
Human feelings are beyond me, but that doesn't mean I can't pretend.
I don't like crying, it irritates my skin, but why not, this situation seems perfect, plus the look on his face is priceless, he knows if an administrator saw them, he would get in trouble for making a student cry, let alone a girl on her first day.
It's funny how he is doing his best to console me, the list of apologies and excuses with his terrified face, but at least he just let me go before the bell rang.
This school is loud, I mean, all schools are loud, but I hope things are better.
I want to take a seat, but the teacher suddenly stopped me and gave me a piece of chalk, this lunatic wants me to introduce myself.
I really don't feel like it, they don't really need to know me, I promise to just stay on the side, but oh well, hope it goes well.
I take the chalk and write my name, the texture and noise is disgusting, but oh well, I turn to them and say my name.
-Hello, I'm Kurai
Everyone seemed confused, fair enough, I didn't phrase it well, because Kurai literally means gloomy, not as a name, rather a description, they probably think I'm describing myself, I understand, after all, describing yourself in a negative manner is too cheesy.
-It seems like everyone is confused, I'm sorry, let me elaborate, Kurai is my actual name, my name is Kurai Sato
-Oh, alright darling, why don't you take a seat next to Ryota over there
The moment I saw that guy I wanted to punch him in the face, from the looks of it, he seems popular, too popular, I don't want attention, if I sit next to him, my classmates will get all over me to help them get closer to him, but whatever, it's the only seat available, he must be picky about who sits next to him.
I set my bag and sit next to him, I don't want to talk to him, but I want to know what kind of person he is, well, it's pretty easy, I'll touch one of his stuff.
One of my abilities grant me telepathy, but if I use it like that so carelessly, I will be overwhelmed by the thoughts of everyone around me, so I limit it to hearing the thoughts of the owner of the item I touch, as long as the item is in my hand, I can hear said owner's thoughts.
So, I use some slight telekinesis to pull his pencil case close to my desk so he doesn't see me grabbing his stuff, and I grab hold of the fabric tag on the case, and in that moment, all of his current thoughts swarmed my mind.
-Hehehe, it will be so funny, all I have to do is befriend her, and embarrass her, it's going to be hilarious
In all honesty, I never heard of someone who laughs in his mind, but well, you do you, I think he is most likely talking about me, but even if he is not, it's not like I'm getting involved with a bully anyways, I better just ignore him-
-Hello Kurai, I'm Ryota, Ryota Okamoto, I would love to be your friend.
...What? is he already trying to act his plan? whatever, I'll just ignore him, but would that be enough to shut him up?
-Hello? earth to Kurai? .... wow, you really are gloomy, heh
Wow, so much for wanting to be my friend, it's already bad enough that I'm in the last seat in class, but I'm also next to an evil scheming human.
-Why are you writing the questions, they are already on the book.
...He grabbed my pen, he did not just grab my pen, he is disturbing my peace, how dare he, and he is still rambling on and on! how desperate is he to get me to fall into his trap, honestly, I wish I would punch him in the face, but he might press charges, wait, hold on, it can't be... he made me ruin my page! my new notebook, I don't have a correction pen, and even if I do, it's going to look bad, he is a monster, I'm going to kill him, no, I'll wipe him and his family out, because they made a terrible human, yeah, that's good, he talks too much, and ruined my notebook, he won't be miss-
The bell rang, that was quick, and he is still talking, I need a seat at the front row, but who would trade, I need someone who doesn't look studious, but a lot of them look smart, unless... that person. the right corner next to the door, I sensed her discomfort for a while now, but I don't understand, they have the best seat anyone could ask for, whatever, I'll take my chance.
-Excuse me, I really have poor eyesight, and I sit at the very back, would it be a problem if we switch seats?
-Not at all! please sit, I'll move right away!
...Huh? was it really that simple? I didn't need to brainwash anyone, did I make a bad expression? was she scared of me? whatever, at least I have a good seat, away from whatever his name was.
3 Periods out of 9 so far, everything was nice and well, but I can't help but feel the glares of my classmates, what's up with them? they might burn a hole into me, well, except for the girl next me me, I can sense a kind aura from her, that's good, but I don't mind the glares anyways, after all, the negative energy from humans sustain me, it makes me stronger.
The bell rang, I think it's break time, but I got stopped from leaving by the homeroom teacher, I don't recall doing something bad today, but I sense in his energy a hint of hope, sympathy and pity, it's an interesting cocktail, let's see what he has to say.
-Hello dear, you must be new here.
-Yes sir, this is my first day here.
-I hope you have a good time here, however, I have to discuss something with you, my dear
why is he talking like an old grandpa? he is in his early 30s.
-Yes mister, I hope everything is okay.
-Don't worry, everything is alright, however, that seat you are in has a rule.
-A rule?
-Yes, that specific seat is for the helper, you see, the student next to you has special needs, and it's essential that whoever sits next to her has to help her.
huh? but she seems fine, a little frail, and maybe shy; wait, I just realized she is in a wheelchair, it's not like it matters, she seems healthy in her bones, but she is thin, and her legs move to an extent, so it's not bones, from what I can theorize, she probably has cerebral palsy or something like that, the girl that was next to her was probably shy and couldn't say no to me, I have to give her her seat back.
-Oh, I am so sorry sir, I asked the girl to switch seats since I have poor eyesight, she never told me about it,
-Oh, it's okay my dear, so, you don't want to help her?
Huh? how did this shift like that, in all honesty, I couldn't care less, I can help her, but why does he seem not surprised?
-I'm sorry sir, I didn't quite catch that
-It's alright, no need to be shy my darling, he had a lot of helpers but all of them refused to help her since it was too bothersome, I won't scold you, I'm just disappointed
But her energy is as positive as sunshine, why do they refuse, whatever, I like my seat, and she is passive, so, why not?
-No sir, I didn't mean that at all, I was just caught off guard, I'll help her, I don't mind
-Really? that's good news, darling you are an angel
Oh, he suddenly dropped his pen, so I kneeled down to pick it up, and I suddenly heard his thoughts:
-Finally, the year will be easier than expected, the administration will praise me for getting someone to help her, I'm free
Wow... uh, so I just gave him his pen, I don't need to hear that, I guess teachers too are disturbed by her, but why?
She was just sitting there, was she waiting for someone?
I noticed she was trying to reach for her lunchbox bag, but she was weak, I couldn't bear to see it, sure, human emotions are beyond me, but I do feel them to an extent, I helped her get her lunch bag, she seemed grateful, but she was shy, it made me feel drawn to her, usually, humans are disgusting creatures I never want to get involved with, but she is interesting, maybe it's because I never saw a special needs student before, but it's not that special, they are all humans, the same being, the same mind, just different thoughts, so I was never interested, but whatever.
I tried to brush it off, but the way I see her wanting to open her lunchbox, she couldn't do it, she was weak, I can't let her be like this.
I sat next to her and helped her have her lunch, it's interesting, she was grateful, but she was quiet, she probably thinks I did it out of obligation, and that seems upsetting, I never do things that I'm forced to do, but she probably doesn't know that, because humans can't use telepathy, or energy sensing, but whatever, I like this girl, I'm fond of her, she might be the answer to all the questions I have on human nature.
