Prologue : There are days like this when nothing goes
It's official. Today was really the worst day of my life. It began when I woke up, when my alarm clock had decided to not ring at time. As a result, I just quickly put my clothes on and brush my hair in a hurry before jumping in my shoes to go to work. In the subway, I was completely stuck. Unfortunately I did not have time to run to the other end of the dock to take the car for women only, and I found myself jammed by an old pervert who kept sniffing me... Disgusting...
When I finally arrived in front of the NTV building, the network for which I work, I run to break my face and injured my ankle while my heel was busting. Oh joy!
I managed to bribe a costume designer of the last drama of the channel and quickly recovered a spare pair I promise to bring her back the next day. This was not my size, I literally swam in it, but it's better than a broken heel when you have a super important staff meeting...
Of course, with my alarm clock and the quest for the shoes, I was really late and I tried to make myself as small as I could when I entered the meeting room. Unluckily, my boss has hawkeyes and even if he didn't say anything at the moment, he gave me such a look I already knew I would take for my degree. I bowed my head as an excuse and I background in the mass of my colleagues.
When the meeting ended, Sakamoto-san asked me to follow him in his office… Obviously, I could not escape so I followed him. Once the door well closed, he gave me a sermon worthy of those of my father. I tried to argue at the beginning, saying that it was my first time being late but he wouldn't listen and all I could do was to bow my head muttering "Excuse me" at the end of each of his sentences.
And obviously, once out of his office, I could see that everyone had followed our exchange with interest. I had no doubt that all the service would know, it was a real nest of gossips…
Anyway, to continue in my misfortune, at lunch time a clumsy man spilled his coffee on my blouse. I screamed so loud - because it was damn hot - that I'm pretty sure people had hear me on the top of the building. Again, I went to my friend the costume designer who lends me a clean blouse, griping she doesn't keep a clothes shop.
The afternoon went better, well it was what I was thinking till I took the way home. Because of the too large shoes, I fell in the subway's stairs. I scratched my palms and I bumped rudely my knee. The only chance of the day was that I found a seat place in the subway.
I became paranoid and wondered if someone had cast the evil eye on me... Especially when, in leaving the subway, my mobile rang... It was my mother. Misery, the day was not ready to end.
My mother was in tears, she just had a quarrel with my father. I tried to calm her down because I didn't understand any word of what she was saying to me. I entered my building and take the elevator to reach my floor. I wished the communication to cut, but I wasn't in a lucky day, don't forget… I felt the headache coming when I left the elevator and went up to my apartment. I hardly found my keys in my bag and when I sank the one I thought was the good one in the lock, my mother threw in a supplicating tone:
"Can I visit you for some times?"
I remained speechless. If she landed, it took the cake… My mother is overly emotional, my father is the opposite. No surprise that they often quarrel, in order to better reconcile after that… I love my mother, really, but having her here was another story… But, I would have been an unworthy child if I said no. So I sighed an agreement and she continued her lamentations while I struggled on the lock that wouldn't open. I changed the key and ended up cutting short the conversation that had lasted too long.
"Wakatta! Jaa, call me to tell me when you come."
I didn't let her the time to answer, I hung up and put my phone in my bag before refocus on the door with an impatient click of the tongue.
"A problem?"
The voice coming from nowhere made me blench. I turned suddenly and fell nose to nose with my - attractive - neighbour.
"Bad day, and to top it all, I can't open. They wouldn't have changed the locks, right?"
"Or maybe it's because this is the door of my apartment." He said with an amused smile. Obviously, he refrained from bursting into laughter.
"Eh?"
I widely opened my eyes in surprise and turn back to the door before leaning to the bell. Indeed, it was not my name that was enrolled but his own. And after thinking, it was true that my apartment was on the right of the corridor out of the elevator and not on the left like this one.
"I can't believe it…" I whispered, more for me that for him.
I turned back again and bowed, with a confused look, but he was still smiling.
"Sumimasen" I just kept repeating.
"It's nothing. Just for a second, I wondered if you were trying to break my door…"
"No! Of course not! Oh~, I think I'll directly go to bed before injuring me again…"
"That much?"
"You would not believe me if I told you everything that happened to me today. Even for me, it's hard to believe I had such a bad luck… Anyway…"
I left the door of his apartment to join mine and unlock the door in a jiffy. Before going inside, I inclined slightly my head in his direction while he had open his own door.
"Oyasumi nasai."
"Oyasumi nasai." He replied while smiling before I closed my door and leaned my back against it.
That's it, the last blunder of the day. I'm Kamiya Shiori and I just made myself superbly ridiculous in front of my neighbour, Aiba Masaki…
