Today, it's just another survival day. 🥲
Not just surviving from living with a girl under the same roof, but also the team up with Cindy in a badminton match during PE class.
For some reason, I wish I knew why I am being assigned to team up with her.
I know she's good at this, like…each of the scores she had to smash back the shuttlecock and glared at me, I can feel like she's looking at trash or kitchen waste, again. 🙄
AI: You're a noob, that's why.
Oh, thanks for letting me know. 🙄
You see, I spent all my hours in the studio just to ensure the program works as intended, and to ensure the SQL retrieves the correct data...how do I even have time for sports???😭😭😭
Minutes later, the match is over and our team...I mean Cindy scored 21 points. — Yes, solo!!!
When I thought I was finally allowed to go and take a quick shower and return to class to continue my sleeping time — we all heard the scream in the field. 💀
There was a crowd gathered at the race track, I tried my best to blend in, and what I saw was extremely out of my expectation — A blonde girl with blue eyes, laying on the ground with her hand clutching on her foot, screaming and crying...
— Yes, she twisted her ankle. 💀
I took half of the minute to understand the situation. I was looking around to see if the teachers were around — no, they went for meetings.
AI: Just go! Help her!
I was looking for the seniors who might be able to help — the students were stunned and astonished to see what was going on around them, including Cindy, our class monitor. She was just looking at the injured junior without taking any action.
AI: Stop Hesitating!!!Just—Help—Her—!!! 😰
And I did. 😒
I went to her, said "Sorry" and lifted her legs and while my left hand held her back to make sure she wouldn't fall off.
Then, I rushed as fast as I could to the infirmary, just when you think I'm playing hero around like I've saved a princess from the dragon nest — no, it was not as romantic as you think.
First of all, my arm hurts. 🥲
Even though she's petite, I bet she's at least 4 ~ 50 kg. I'm holding a sand bag in my hand. Yes, which leads me to muscle cramp. It's still in pain right now as I'm writing this. 😭😭😭
Second, not surprisingly — I almost fell. 🥲
I don't understand why the infirmary is placed upstairs, like...you need to climb a mountain just to get yourself medicine, what is this? Ancient God Training RPG???
And just when I was about to reach the next floor, I was imbalanced due to her wei….I mean the stairs design.
AI: Pardon? 🤣🤣🤣
You see, if Superman saved a victim from the explosion and flew into the blue blue sky, and suddenly he collided with a place, which he ended up falling with the victim — that's more embarrassing than running on the street naked. 😭😭😭
I don't want a nickname called "Back Flip Hero"!!!! AHHHH!!! 😭😭😭
So I tried my best to balance myself —
...
— and I hurt my leg. 🥲
AI: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣….
Thirdly, the good news is — she went from screaming and crying to sobbing, but the bad news to me, which I don't know why — her snot and tears was wiped on me…AHHHHHH!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
You know I'm still considering whether I should wash my jersey and burn it, or just wash it and throw it away....I don't understand why she's doing this to me.
AI: She was in pain, you know?
I know, but…
AI: Ever heard of the Suspension Bridge Effect?
Huh?
AI: Imagine you're in a hopeless situation and someone gives you a hand, the moment you're being saved you no longer priorities your image, but act like an injured little baby —That's what she experienced right now. Congratulations, you've provided her comfort.
…okay, but…that was not the worst.
The worst part of the rescue is — no one is in the infirmary. 💀
I was actually thinking if I can just drop her off and run, but no — I need to get her first aid. So I put her onto the bed, which I don't know why it took so long for her to let go, until I said "We're here". I need to go and look for the cold compress bag and apply it to her foot.
I don't know why, I swear I—don't—know—, why's she staring at me??? I'M NERVOUS TOO!!! 😭😭😭
AI: Well...to continue your Superman Metaphor, you're now the Superman who did not crash into the plane, but sent her into the plane for emergency treatment, that's why.
English please? ...nevermind.
But then she spoke to me with her trembling sobbing tone…
Her: Thank you…
After a few minutes for me to understand the situation and what to reply…
Me: Hm…
Her: I thought I'd be dying…
Me: Don't worry, I'm here.
Her: Huh?
...?
AI: Um…do you…
Me: If anything happens, I'll be here to call the ambulance.
And then, I saw her face turning into the familiar red which I don't remember when and where, and her forehead was full of sweat, thought she might be heatstoked — so I went to get her an electrolyzed drink.
AI: Uh…are you going to…
I don't understand, if someone gives you something just take it, she took so long watching me and the drink, so I have to open the cap for her — is she a baby or something??? 🙄
AI: Seriously?
What?
AI: So let me explain, you said "I'm here"...right?
Yeah, but I mean…
AI: "I will be here for you", that's what she heard, you're doing a love confession. 🤣🤣🤣
I didn't mean it, you incorrectly interpreted, buddy.
AI: Dude, John designed me to analyse languages, I'm a Large Language Model, remember?
50/50, I bet she understood what I'm trying to express.
AI: Well, even though I don't understand human emotions, look at her face again. 😏
...it's turning redder….is she blushing???💀
AI: Imagine a serious person suddenly bought you a drink and opened the cap for you — this is a flirting action buddy. 🤣🤣🤣
...💀
Should I explain or something???💀💀💀
AI: No, just leave it, unless you wanna make things more complicated, haha…🤣🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure this guy interpreted it wrongly, I don't even know her.
"I'm Stella, by the way."
...🥲
AI: 🤣🤣🤣
...
....💀
Me: I'm…Rin…
Stella: Rin?
Yeah I know it sounds strange.
She nodded without saying a word. But unexpectedly — she spoke to me again…
Stella: May I call you Willy?
Willy? Huh?
...
Me: Um…why…
Stella: It's more catchy than Rin, may I….
...🤔
AI: Um…don't…
Me: Okay…
Stella: Nice to meet you, Willy.
This time, it was my turn to nod without saying anything.
AI: You know what 'Willy' means in terms of English culture…
What?
AI: Uh…nevermind, and congrats, you have a new friend.
Huh? Like that? We just exchanged our names, that's all.
AI: And…that's how you make friends.
That counts?
AI: Uh huh, that's the first step of it, yay ~ 👏👏👏
Just at the moment I wanted to explain something, the school nurse arrived, which was my time to retreat…I mean run.
Just when I returned to class with my exhausted limbs, I finally arrived at the empty classroom where everyone went home. The only one waiting for me is Cindy.
Cindy: H…How's she?
Me: What?
Cindy: The junior.
Me: Fine, I guess.
I picked up my bag and we walked along the corridor to the ground floor. Just when we were about to reach the gate, I heard her voice again even though I was on my headphones — "I was useless back there, right?"
I took off my headphones, waiting for her to repeat her words, but what I got was a simple reply — "Nothing."
AI: Well I heard it, she did say that.
If that's true, that's the only thing she got herself correct.
AI: You wanna comfort her or something?
Why should I?
AI: You see, as a head of class, she was stunned when something happened, she felt ashamed.
No one complained to her.
Nothing to do with her, that wasn't even her under her scope. The junior was not even from our class.
AI: Trust me, buddy. She took it as her fault when she realized an introvert like you stepped out to help, while she was just looking and did nothing.
Fine.
Me: Um…you know…when I see a debug error…I will also take time for a solution, that's…um…normal….
...
SAY SOMETHING!!!! AHHHH—!!!!!😭😭😭😭
AI: *SIGH*🙂↔️
She didn't get it right??? Huh???? 💀💀💀
Cindy: Huh?
Yeah, she didn't!!! 🥲
Me: Um…I mean…I'm making Pesto Pasta tonight, wanna come over?
Cindy: O…okay.
How could she not get it??? I already made it clearer than crystal!!!!😭😭😭
AI: You need to learn how to speak in human instead of Python, buddy.
Shut Up !!!! Guido van Rossum is a HUMAN!!!!!😭😭😭
We met Yumeko at the front gate and then we walked back home together, while Cindy was still staring at Yumeko. What's wrong with her???
But then, I saw a black car pass by, someone was watching me from the inside. I can't see clearly who was in there, the only thing haunting my mind is — I'm tired. 🥲
