Itsuki couldn´t help but keep thinking about what happened earlier
- She was blushing... d-does that mean anything?...
All of a sudden:
*BAM!*
Someone would slap the whiteboard, scaring half of the class
- Itsuki, pay attention, you keep staring out the window.
Says the teacher, with an stressed expression
- S-sorry! Tanaka-sensei!
Anwsers Itsuki, rapidly
The teacher would sigh, as he returned to his math class.
Itsuki would remember something, and sigh:
- Wait... i didn´t even buy my lunch...
After what seemed like an eternity of paying attention, the class finally ends, with Itsuki walking out of the classroom with Sato and Suzuki right behind him
Itsuki would then stare at the class beside them, and some girls from the other class would stare at them back
- Now they´re staring at us?
Said Sato
- Seems like it...
Says Suzuki, confused, but trying to act tough while being stared at
Itsuki would realize something, instead of staring all of them down, they´d have their eyes locked on HIM, which would leave him quite confused
As they walked out of the school together, Suzuki would ask:
- Hey, Itsuki, why were they staring at you like that?
- That´s a very good question, and, honestly, i have no idea.
Says Itsuki, anwsering Suzuki´s question
- Maybe it´s because you´re the ugliest out of all of us.
They´d all laugh with Sato´s comment, but then...
*BUMP*
- What the hell?! Hey, pay attention where you´re walking, short kid.
Says the blue haired guy Sato bumped into
- Oh, wait... you´re from Raseka, aren´t you? The "Duality School", on one side, smart girls and boys, and on the other, stupid kids, i suppose you must be from the smart boys, so i´ll teach you something.
The blue haired guy would say, as he charges up his fist to punch Sato directly
- Do it, i dare you.
Says Sato, with a threatning tone, shocking the blue haired guy
- You got a backbone, huh? Well soon you´ll break yours!
As he said that, he swings a punch at Sato, which dodges and kicks his chest, pushing him back
- What the heck?... How did you-
- I´d suggest you to get out of here before my friends get enough of you.
Says Sato, cutting him off mid sentence, before continuing:
- And you guessed wrong, we are actually at the bottom class.
The blue haired guy would get really mad, but turn back and run out
- This isn´t over! You´ll pay for this!
Silence would lay upon them for a while, until they started laughing way too much
- DID YOU SEE HIS FACE?! "Oh no! Mommy help!!"
Said Suzuki, making them laugh even harder
- "OH NO MAN, YOU´LL PAY FOR DEFENDING YOURSELF!"
Says Sato, as their laughs come to an end
They´d split up, since class ended
But, before heading home, he remembers he forgot to pass by Ms. Nakamura´s shop today, and decides to head there
- Oh, right! I forgot to get my order...
As he walks in and the bell rings, Ms. Nakamura greets him with an unexpected smile
- Oh, Itsuki! There you are! You didn´t pass by today, and i still have your order ready...
- Sorry, i forgot to pass by today, it´s because something happened in the station today and i got pretty worked up...
He says, then, Ms. Nakamura´s expression changes to confusion, then acknowledgement:
- Oh, really? uh, anyway, here´s your usual order.
He´d grab the bag, and stuff it in his bag, then pay, and after paying, he´d say:
- Thank you, Ms. Nakamura, and sorry again for making you wait.
Before he left, Ms. Nakamura would call his name one more time
- Sorry, Itsuki, was it the station right down the street?
- Oh, yeah, why?
He´d say, confused
No reason at all, Itsuki, just curiosity...
She´d chuckle after saying that, and add:
I guess i´ll see you tomorrow then!
- Yes Ms. Nakamura, i´ll see you tomorrow, and i promise to get here on my usual time!
They´d laugh
- Okay, i´ll be waiting, Itsuki!
He´d walk out, and would head towards the station, with his hands behind his neck as he relaxed
- Hm, that´s weird, why would she ask the station? Nevermind... it´s probably because she´s really caring, Ms. Nakamura is a good person.
He´d enter his metro, and sit down on his usual seat again, until he saw a short boy that couldn´t hold into the bars, and he felt an urge to help him
He stands up
- Hey, you can sit right here.
-Oh, thank you!
Says the boy, shocked and grateful, as the boy sits down and Itsuki grips the bar, the boy says:
- Hey... what´s your name?
- Oh, Uh, Itsuki, Itsuki Shimizu.
Says Itsuki, a bit confused
- I´m Naoki Matsuda, also... sorry for being intrusive, it´s because you gave your seat to me and im trying to be nice... but im failing...
- No, don´t worry, you couldn´t grab the handles so i figured you needed that seat more than me.
Says Itsuki once again, trying to be nonchalant
- You´re, from Raseka... huh? That school is pretty famous around here, for having the smartest and the stupidest at the same place, not trying to offend anyone, of course!
- Yeah, im also part of the stupidest...
Says Itsuki
- Really? You don´t act like the boys from there, normally they´re dicks, and punch everyone in their way...
- Usually, but me and my friends aren´t like that, or are we? I don´t know really...
They´d spend the entire ride talking about random stuff, like academics, games, and others, and as Itsuki arrived on his station and Naoki stayed on the metro, Naoki would say something:
- Hey, im in this metro everyday, im guessing we could be subway friends?...
Itsuki would be shocked by the offer, but then smirk:
- Okay then, guess i´ll see you tomorrow, Naoki.
The metro´s doors would close, as Itsuki made his way home
Itsuki would think to himself
- Now this was one hell of a different routine...
He´d arrive home, have dinner quickly, and lay down on his bed, but this time, he forgot to say his wish, and ended up sleeping pretty quickly.
