Chapter 2: I Sense it's the Beginning!
That’s right. Mr. Ryosuke Yamada got the seat next to mine which of course, I hate, not because I don’t want him to be my seatmate (maybe it really counts) but rather he’s blocking Dai-chan seat. It is really okay if Dai-chan is going to spend his whole semester sitting behind me, but I hope he’d gonna be on the other side, leastwise it will not piss me to see Ryuutan’s face first before I’d gonna see his. But that STILL was NOT the worst thing happened to my college life.
Back to the usual me, I came on our campus 20 minutes early before the class start, I don’t know why I like doing that. I should have been sleeping 20 minutes longer every day, now, I’m starting to think that it was the reason why I slowly grow. Lack of sleep, don’t you think so?
I was strolling around the campus, until I realized, I was in the hallway once again, while I gander on each 2nd years locker like I was memorizing to whom each locker belongs. I was unaware that one of my classmates came.
“Ohayou, Chinen-kun.” my classmate greeted me. I jerked (and it feels awkward) , “Oh-ohayou Yuma-kun.” I greeted back, smiling naturally. “You’re early too huh.” I said.
He nod, “Un. I’m assigned today so … I need to be early hehe.”
“Sou ka. Do you need help?” I asked though I didn’t really want to set the classroom. Good thing, Yuma-kun refused.
Just a short introduction about him; his name is Nakayama Yuma. He’s my classmate since first year and also a good friend of mine. He’s also in the Baseball Team like Ryuutan and he’s a good pitcher. I am always amazed at the two of them whenever I watch their games. Cuteness ranking? Hmm… almost last??? No, I’m just kidding. He’s still on the Top 20, I am not so sure on what rank he exactly is. He is non-mean and handsome enough to star in a fictional film having a role of a vampire. Otherwise, average.
Some more minutes passed, the number of students quickly increased. My best friend came soon as I waited for him on the corridor, and the first thing he did was to check his locker.
“Haaa~ I thought I have lost you~” he got out something on his locker and hugged it. It was one of his games. He probably forgot to bring it home yesterday.
“Are you going to hug that all day and you wouldn’t even greet me? You’re being mean to your best friend today Ryuu.” I pouted, maybe I was over reacting, but I can’t help it.
“Oh, Chii, I’m sorry. Don’t be so jealous, good morning best friend.” he said, and now it was me who’s been hugged by an otaku.
“I’m not jealous ya know~”
“Hey Yuto, don’t we have any gig today? We haven’t had any for two days.” We heard Okamoto Keito said in English. He is in the other section so he isn’t our classmate.
“Huh?? I don’t understand you Keito …”
“I said, don’t we have a gig today?” he repeated, this time he’s speaking in Japanese.
“Um. Yeah. Sorry, I’m still not yet done upgrading my drum set. But I guess I can finish it tonight so hopefully we can play again tomorrow.”
“I count on you, Yuto.”
Okamoto then leaved going up belike to our floor. Nakajima was left there, pulling out some of his most up-to-date gizmos and some things that are very very expensive. It is like all of his belongings are made from 24 karat gold. I even sometimes think that his locker is not really a locker, I more think of it as ATM machine, that in a moment he opens it, billions of cash would fall out. From wrist watch, ring, necklace, bag, shirt, they are all branded. I wonder if his pen costs for a thousand yen too. And apparently, he is the one who beat Ryuu for the “Richest Guy” in the whole campus. The rest of the students, including Dai-chan and you-know-who soon came and the classes started.
****
We’re on our second period which is Science, and it’s time for some experiments. And so before we start the experiment, Sensei reminded us for some things that we should and should not do, stuffs like ‘don’t-mix-this-with-that-or else-whatever-will-explode”. I was about to start doing the experiment with Ryuu, until another announcement utterly ruined my whole being.
“We’re going to have a partner-switch.”
Everyone in our class went, “Ehhhhhhhhhh???” I mean, why? Why the heck we need to switch our lab partners? It’s better if your partner is someone you’re comfortable with. I silently crossed my finger, praying not to be with someone whom I am not close to, or I might spill the chemicals at him if he messes up with me. At this time, I didn’t pray for Daiki to be my new lab partner because it might turn to be like what happened on our cheating arrangement. Anybody is fine, just not him, NOT HIM AGAIN PLEASE! I wish for Yuma to be my partner but it was a total reject because Ryuu became his new lab partners. And when Yuma had shared his work table with my best friend, the MOST DISGUSTING announcement were heard, “Yamada-kun, join Chinen-kun on his table now.”
“SERIOUSLY?!!?!” I shouted on my head, I really wish I could shout in on the whole class so that Sensei would know that I don’t like her idea of pairing me with that pig who knows nothing but to grunt, eat, and to act cool. Seriously, why do I need to suffer this much in my college life? Why is kami-sama being mean to me? I don’t deserve it, and he doesn’t even deserve to be my lab partner, nor my seatmate or whatever. GRRRRR. I would really pour the chemicals on him if he doesn’t behave or I would even mix it on his drink, I’m so sure that something will explode on him.
****
Finally, Science class had ended. We only conducted the experiment for less than 15 minutes but it felt like a year to before we finished the whole thing, and surprisingly, we had accomplished what our Sensei told us to do. I really thought we couldn’t make it because my new fiendish lab partner was not helping me at all when we began the experiment, he does help when sensei is around our table but he would just stare at the beaker when sensei turns around. And due to my irritation and vexation, I couldn’t put in the exact amount of chemicals that was needed to be mixed with the other one, and he still had the guts to grouch. So I passed him all the beakers and told him to do it incisively. And that was the surprising part; he carried out the whole experiment with ease. I couldn’t believe it. We even got the highest remark and Ryuu suddenly went baaing over it.
“So I guess you have found a better lab partner than me. That hurts you know. huhuh.” he touched his chest as if showing me he’s heart, faking a cry.
I tapped him, “No, Ryuu, You’re still the best lab partner I ever had! If you only knew what I was feeling all this time, it’s like I’ve been pulled down into the pit of hell. You know how the two of us dislike each other darou?”
He nodded, “Yeah. You’ve been treating each other like that since middle school. Haven’t you get tired with your non-sense fights?”, he asked having a sight-glance with that Yamada guy.
I rolled my eyes, puffing my cheeks at the same time, “He’s always the one who start, so I just fight back!” I averred, I really am the victim here. I also find it tiring to bicker at him for these long; we’re not as childish as we were back in middle school anymore. Sure, we still have some of our childish sides but maturity seems it doesn’t want to deal with Yamada. Whatever.
***
That was a tiring day, so I didn’t go anywhere after the school. Ryuu had a baseball practice and dashed to the field after the class. Dai-chan had plan to go bowling and HE INVITED ME but since he’s along with his friends together with his best friend, I declined. I had enough for this day and I don’t think I still could deal around with that pig therefore I decided to go home straight. I’d just spend my free time sleeping. Yeah, that’s right.
When I was at home at last, I was looking for the Idol magazine I brought yesterday. I’d only seen the half on its contents so I’d gonna finish it now. But, I couldn’t find it inside my room, and thought my sister probably took it without my permission. She’s like that, always. Since she’s still on her work, I sneaked on her room. And there I found my magazine, lying on her table, flip opened. I sighed. She should have closed it properly at least, I used my savings for that yet she’s not taking care of it like what I do to them. Geez.
I moved towards her table and picked my magazine, and woo, something fell from inside. There were lap-flaps on my magazine already, did she even think that she owns my magazine. However, they weren’t all flaps, there’s a letter attached on it, and my instinct was right when I found out that it’s actually a love letter. I smirked, “There’s still love letter today huh?”
****
Another day for school, I was on the hallway again looking at our locker as if I was playing a staring game with them. And here, inside my pocket was an envelope, an envelope who has a letter inside, a letter which caused me to stay awake till dawn last night, trying my utmost best to convey my feelings - my love letter. I was contemplating if I should continue my plan. I’m… I’m shy. It’d rather be embarrassing knowing that a guy would confess to the same sex. “Ughh!” I scratched my head as I was so unsure for my plan.
“Yo, Chii~!” I heard Ryutaro’s voice. I hurriedly hid the letter on my back when I spin to face him. “Oh-ohayou Ryuu. You’re a bit early today huh?”, I uttered nervously. Ryuu just smiled, “Am I forbidden to do so? C’mon, I’ll show you my new game!”
I just nodded; looking at him intently as I silently dropped the envelope on the slit of Daiki’s locker. “Just as I expected.”
