Today in the canteen, everyone was looking at the same spot where people wouldn't dare to approach.
You're not gonna believe what happened…
...
It was just another regular day for me in the library, listening to Vicetone's old album with my fingers on the laptop debugging the most annoying script — javascript.
Since my volume is quite loud so that I can insulate the sound around me — suddenly I felt something...or someone standing next to me. 💀
I slightly turned my head to the right, and what came into my sight — is a girl, while her face was right next to mine.
We were scared when we looked at each other. 💀
Yes, she scared the hell out of me!!! 🥲
I bounced off from the chair while she ran away like a terrified squirrel just and I noticed she was holding a stack of books — one of them fell off.
I picked up the book to take a look and I froze immediately when I read the title — "No One Will Know What I Did to My Sister" 💀
WHAT—THE—FAAAHHH—???💀💀💀
I can actually describe my face when I read this — is completely distorted like how Gumball did.
"あれ...?" (What???)
The familiar voice that I could possibly hear everyday in my house appeared next to me when I thought I was in the nest hiding spot — yes, it was Yumeko. 🥲
Me: ち…違う,か...勘違いしないで!!!(No…no, it was not what you think!!!!)
Instead of asking how she found me, I tried my best to wave my hand at her just to make myself innocent…
And...I had no idea that I'm waving the book before her eyes and she could see the title and the book cover clearly. 🥲
Me: 夢子,信じて,僕のものじゃない,誤解です!誤解です!(Trust me, Yumeko. This is not mine, this is a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!)
Yumeko: な...な...な...何も見てない,み....み...み...見てない!!!(I….I…I didn't see anything, I….I…I didn't see it!!!)
Me: 待て待て待て待て待て!!!勘違いしないで!!!!(Wait wait wait wait wait!!!! It's not what you think!!! )
...
Yep, she ran away.
Leaving an innocent boy in the library screaming as hell trying to prove himself innocent. 🥲
I'm dead…💀
No hold on, I must return the book...BUT WHO WAS THAT GIRL??? 😭😭😭
She's like dropping a C4 Bomb and running away. 💀💀💀
I—DON'T—KNOW—HER!!!! 😭😭😭
AI: Just calm down.
Shut up!!! 😭😭😭
AI: Okay…
So what do I do now???
Hand it over to the discipline teacher??? 🙄
How am I gonna explain? Huh? 🙄
Oh, a student dropped this on me and caused a misunderstanding…
— I don't want to spend the rest of the time in the principal's office just to explain something I never did. 💀💀💀
AI: …hmm, I got an idea — Keep it, return it once you meet her.
Hahaha ~This is funny. 🤣
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MOTHERBOARD, HUH??? 😭😭😭
YOU'RE ASKING ME TO MEET HER AGAIN???? 😭😭😭
AI: That's the final solution, buddy. Unless you want to let everyone know she has...uncommon fetish.
...
Okay, fine. 😑
Then I went to the canteen to get some snacks.
AI: You know you can actually….
JUST SHUT UP!!! I'M TRYING TO CALM MYSELF DOWN!!! 😭😭😭
*CRANK—*
...💀
That was the sound of a broken glass bowl.
The next event spawned in the canteen is — a girl with glasses dropped her bowl of noodle and broke it.
...wait, that was her. 💀
The girl in the library, owner of the ince….the book.
There was an unspoken rule in the school saying whoever broke the dishes in the canteen shall endure the unluckiness for the rest of their school life, and whoever helped will share the same curse — don't ask me, I don't know who made that up.
They're all watching the girl picking up the scattered ceramic and food.
Yes, they're all just watching.
They're like watching the show of a girl cleaning up her own mess while sniffling on the ground with the risk of getting cut by the broken pieces.
......
......okay.
......
......what if.
......
......um
......urgh, fine. 😒
Me: Ptzz, don't cry. We're not losing this.
Yeah…I grabbed a broom and a mop along with a plastic bag and started to clean up with her.
She dried her tears after a gentle nod and then joined me to clean up the mess.
After a few minutes, we turned the tools back to the staff, and I took her to the vending machine for some drinks and bread...
…..
Wait, but why??? 💀
AI: Um…actually…
Hold on…
What have I done? 💀
AI: Calm down, buddy. Relax!
I…I can't!!!!
Should I just....run!!!???
AI: Take a deep breath, you need to relax.
HELP ME, I'M BEGGING YOU &^%$#$%^&^%^%$#$%^&*(*&^%$#$%^&!!! 😭😭😭
*INHALE*...*EXHALE*...*INHALE*...*EXHALE*
...
Okay.
Just the moment I got up and was ready to leave.
Her: Th…thank you.
...
What? I froze, so what?
I was never expecting this to happen. 😭😭😭
Her: I'm sorry.
Me: Uh…just don't...
Her: You still have it…..right?
Me: What?
AI: The book…
Me: Oh…the book…
Her: Wait wait wait, no, that was not mine, I'm normal, just like you and the others….
She blocked my mouth with her hands and just when she realized, she immediately let go and turned around and faced away while her ears were getting redder than just now.
Me: I don't care, just take it back.
I handed over the book that I had kept in my bag since morning.
Her: I'm sorry…
Me: You did nothing wrong, stop apologizing. Okay?
Her: No, I mean...I shouldn't be staring... I know I'm rude...and weird.
Me: Look, I didn't say that.
Her: Could you please…keep this as a secret?
Me: Fine.
Her: Pinky swear?
Uh?
Me: That's unnecessary.
Her: My mom said whoever shared the same promise should do this.
Yeah, she's weird.
Me: Fine.
I handed over my little finger and she hooked it up with hers.
Me: Alright, gotta go.
I stood up and was ready to leave and suddenly she pulled onto my sleeves…
JUST—LET—ME—GO—AHHHH—!!!! 😭😭😭
Me: Ye...yes?
"I'm Clara, nice to meet you." she said. 💀
Basically nothing to do with me, right?
Me: Yeah…nice to meet you, see ya.
I smiled and waved my hand, but she hasn't let me go yet as her hand is still pulling me.
Clara: Wait wait wait, what's your name?
I don't understand — why's everybody asking for names from nobody?
Me: Um…I'm just nobody, so…
Clara: What? Am I a nobody to you too?
Something is definitely wrong with her head, possibly worse than Cindy. 😑
Me: No, I didn't mean it, I mean…
Clara: I know I'm just a weirdo who likes to read such novels…
Me: I was never discriminating against your fetish, okay. I'm…I'm Rin.
...
She stared at me into my eyes which forced me to look away.
SAY SOMETHING!!! 😭😭😭
Clara: Is that true?
Me: Of course, my name is Rin.
Clara: No, I mean….the previous that you said….
Me: ...of course.
After hearing what I said, she got up and put the book into my hand...for what?
Clara: Here, keep it.
Huh??? What??? no…I mean....Why???
Clara: See you tomorrow.
Tomorrow??? Huh??? 💀
...
HUH??? 💀💀💀
The next thing I know was completely out of my mind.
She smiled…
Blushed…
…and ran away. 💀
Something must have gone wrong with her. I SWEAR!!!💀💀💀
AI: Welp, you're dead
Wha…what what what what? What do you mean???
AI: You'll see. 😏
No wait, should I keep it or dump it???😭😭😭
AI: Well, keep it again. She might ask you how the story was tomorrow.
I'm not reading this, I SWEAR!!!! 😭😭😭
AI: Too late, buddy.
.....
.....
You know what?
AI: Yes?
I think the curse is real. 🥲
