My alarm did. It was strange, because I wasn't in my typical position
I wasn't hugging my pillow, it was on the floor. I must have thrown it away while I was sleeping.
I had breakfast, got dressed, and left the house with Amaya. Again, I was hearing music, so we didn't talk much. Still, if we did, all the people in the train would be looking at us, weirded out.
We're both a threat to society...
When I arrived at the entrance, I only recognized two people, as the third was on vacation at home.
Aside from greeting each other, we didn't say much else. Not because we were angry, just that nothing came up, although I did want to ask &$%"! if his parents had said anything to him or not.
"Hey. I see you've been having fun skipping classes." Said &$%"! as soon as he saw me.
He wasn't lying, I didn't go to class yesterday, though I didn't skip it either. Today was the second day after they got into trouble. The day after that, yesterday, I got sick as soon as I woke up, and stayed home all day. My sister skipped classed to take care of me, even if I told her not to...
"I was sick... I told you through the phone already."
"¿You were with the phone? ¿Oh so you weren't sick then?"
I sighed, with no interest on keeping this silly exchange go on. I'll skip over all the yapping and useless stuff. We didn't really talk about the trouble of two days ago until the change from 2nd to 3rd hour.
"How's it going with the mess?"
"The mess? Oh, yeah…"
"Have your parents said anything to you? I hope they'll let you go to the convention…"
"I explained exactly how it happened. My dad did scold me, though he didn't take it too badly, and my mom even supported me. She told me I should have been the one to start the fight…" When I talked about his mother, he scratched the back of his neck.
If you can tell me calmly and in a positive tone, I suppose you haven't had too many problems...
"What does bother me is the punishment… It's a pain, but hey, it's better than not going here at all."
"I can stay with you, if you want." "It's not like I have anything better to do," I was about to say that, but I'd better not say it. It seemed like a very emo line.
"It's not like they're going to let you…"
"You may be right..."
The other thing I had to ask him about was =@º\'. I hope he's not mad at me anymore.
"And also, have you talked to =@º\' ?"
"Yes, although he only told me that his parents were more angry with him than worried about his injuries. It is strange that his parents specifically were so angry."
"They don't usually do it a lot?"
"It's not that they don't, but they are usually more worried about him than what he's done. I'm not saying they're bad parents either, at least they're not 'retarded', like you say your mother is. The only problem I have is that they're too good."
That was all we had time to say before the teacher came in.
In the library, the only thing that seemed out of place was that the girl who was always there, Tsukiyomi, was staring at me more than usual.
I've combed my hair badly, or are you going to start laughing at what I read?
Obviously, I only looked back at her once, but I'm sure she looked at me more than once while I was reading.
As far as I know, she has two friends in class, but for some reason, she always comes here, and they don't come looking for her either. I guess she wants some time alone. It never hurts. And I'm one to talk too...
Can you stop looking at me? It's too obvious...
Before going home, we agreed to meet in the afternoon.
We talked about meeting up early, since tomorrow is the day of the convention, and we wanted to get up early. _¨*^?¿· said he wanted to do homework, so he didn't go out.
Honestly, I've always wondered if he really considers me a friend. I hardly ever talk to him because he mostly talks to =@º\', so I guess he's not feeling up to it today. It's not like he goes out much anyway…
As usual, I ate with Amaya. Her cooking is always amazing. She has a knack for it, I swear. All that's left is for me to do something with it. I wish I had a girlfriend who cooked this good...
After eating, I opened my closet, to try the thing I wanted to wear so bad.
After putting it on, I went running to the toilet. I saw myself dressed with that outfit on the reflection of the mirror, and as if were the first time I wore it...
"Hihihi! It looks fabulous on me!" I said in a feminine tone, giggling as I clasped my hands together, moving them frantically.
"I just need to comb my hair like his. Let's see if the practice and waiting have been worth it."
Just before doing it, I thought twice. If I used hair gel, it would be a bit hard to get off, and I'd have to shower. And if I make even the slightest noise, I know someone who, given the current situation, will come and laugh at me again.
Oh, speaking of being quiet. I think I've messed up.
"Hehe, you look stupid. No, you are stupid."
I could see someone sticking his head around the door.
How can you go from being an angel to being a flea!?
"N-no! Go away!" Just seeing me dressed like that made my whole face turn red, more than it already was. I might get sick again.
"But why? I want to see how fabulous you look!"
" Y-you've got me fed up!"
I ran toward her, trying to think of a punishment to give her the moment I caught her. My sister stopped me mid-run and grabbed me by both arms. She rendered me completely useless.
"Let me go!"
"And what were you going to do to me? You know you can't do anything to me, hehe!"
"You and your mousey giggle…"
"I don't laugh like a ra-"
"Got you!"
As soon as he let his guard down, I broke free from his grasp. With the freedom I gained, I decided to impose the worst possible punishment.
"Hee hee hee! No! S-stop! Hee hee hee, hahAHG!"
I started tickling his armpits nonstop. Last time, I tried tickling his tummy and side, but the funny thing about that was that my nose looked like a clown's. Aka it didn't work.
"Okay! Sorry! No, hehe, I won't laugh at you anymore. Leave me alone! Hahaha!"
"Well, you're laughing right now!"
"T-that's not fair!"
While she was laughing her head off, I never let my guard down for a moment. Every attempt she made to break free from me was futile.
I practically had her at my mercy. And as soon as I realized that, I stopped tickling her.
"You brought all this on yourself."
"...How is it possible that you treat your precious older sister like this, after all the care I've given you!" he exclaimed in a sarcastic and ironic tone.
"You're not fooling anyone with that phrase!"
This was the only highlight of the day. I've said it a hundred times, but if my life were a book, it would be very boring. Most of the things I do are purely leisure, and I don't usually do anything out of the ordinary.
Its title would be something like "My Big Sister is so cute!". Disgusting.
Still, I'm happy with it, though I don't understand how.
I don't know how I can think it would be okay to live a life like this forever. What would I write in each chapter? " I went to class, came home, played video games, read, groomed my big sister, bothered her, she kicked my ass, and then I went to sleep." ?
Besides, I don't know what I'm going to do with my life in the future, although I'm going to postpone that problem every time I think of it. Now's not an exception.
I should be showering instead of thinking pointless stuff... Im gonna be late if so...
"Amaya, I'm going out!"
"Have a nice day!"
After that brief goodbye, I went to &$%"!'s house, and after he left, we started walking aimlessly.
"You were going to cosplay after all, right?"
"Yeah, I'm sure you can't guess what-"
"You're going to dress up as Subaru, right?"
"…I'm that easy to read?"
"Let's see, if you base your personality on him, I'd say so. You usually say about being him... You've taken it a bit to heart, haven't you?"
He's not entirely wrong. It's not an obsession, it's extreme admiration. What can I do? If I like him, I like him.
"Well, and you? Are you going to dress up as something?"
"No, not at all. The only thing on my mind is taking the likes of them ladies."
"Are you really going to try to hook up with someone?"
"At least I want to meet someone. Even if it's just a friend."
"What a twink~"
" We both know I'm not... if anything, you're the one who looks the most like a gay man."
"So why do you say you want to meet someone new, huh??" I continued to tease him.
"Because I can make a friend, but I definitely only accept girlfriends! You'd definitely try to hook up with another Subaru!"
"If anything, I'd go for a Rem!"
"But Emilia's better!!! And the Subaru and Emilia ship is canon!"
"Rem's could be too if the author wasn't afraid of success!"
The whole hangout was based on conversations, either silly or normal, with a thousand and one things to talk about.
It's nice to be able to talk this way, although it's not essential. I could go on all day without saying a word, and it wouldn't be a problem. During one of the jokes we were making, a sensitive subject came up, at least for me.
"...Well, if we're talking about hot women, there's your sister."
"If you want to be four meters underground, go ahead."
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm going to commit suicide with her in a super romantic way?"
I sighed at his comment. "If it's just you who commits suicide, I have no problem."
"Huh?"
Completely ignoring his surprise, I continued.
"Well, I've told you several times that I'm worried about how my sister's been. I guess the class change must have affected her a bit."
"Has she been more depressed lately?"
"No, but she hasn't been normal. She's already changed a bunch either way..."
The moment I finished that, &$%"! Put her arm around my neck, while patting my chest with the other.
"I think you're worrying too much. I'm sure she's fine, she always is. It seems surreal, but that's who she is. Besides, if she doesn't tell you anything, it's because she doesn't want to worry you, even though you're still worrying…"
"Maybe you're right, but I still want to think that's not the case. Even though it's a new place for her to be in, I want to know how she's feeling."
"Why?"
"It's kind of surreal, like you said. That's why I want to think that if I come home now without warning, I'll find her crying, or listening to depressing music, or something like that. I want to find her in a similar state, because otherwise she won't tell me, no matter how much I want her to."
With a hint of hope in my eyes, I also thought about her future in that class.
"And I also want her to tell me how her new class is going. If I find out she's made any friends, I'll…"
"Then why don't we go?"
"Huh?"
"If you're so worried, let's go now."
That sudden proposition made by him was a success as I agreed to his idea immediately, and we went to my house. We walked from the place we were to my house, but it took a while. We didn't even notice how long the walk was, as we got so distracted to such a degree that we forgot we were going to my house.
The moment we arrived, as I was about to open the door, &$%"! started laughing. At the time, I had no idea if it was at me or something of his, although it didn't take me long to realize that, since as soon as I opened the door, he shouted.
"My love!!! I'm home!!!"
Honestly, it even made me laugh, even though I knew how little my sister finds those kinds of jokes funny, especially if they're from &$%"!.
Despite everything, my plan to surprise Amaya was gone, since she'd probably find out. Although she let us know in a strange way. First, there was a light knock, but then...
BAM!
