‎Loud noise filled the entire classroom. students laughing, talking, gossiping, and giggling. all of them are conversing to one another. except for me— the main protagonist of this story, i suppose.

‎

‎I was sitting awkwardly at my seat. just being annoyed by my fellow students being loud. school is for studying for god's sake. not for small-talks. gahh, so annoying!

‎

‎Suddenly, i saw someone approaching me. i just mentally rolled my eyes.

‎

‎'great... another one of those shitty people who always ask me questions.' i said to myself.

‎

‎"hey, yuki... how do you solve this problem again?" the annoying bitch asked.

‎

‎'figure it out yourself. i ain't the fkin teacher. i'm a student, idiot.' i inwardly intoned. no way in hell would i actually say this. i just pretend to be nice so they won't bug me... which fails miserably.

‎

‎"oh... that part. uh well..." i took a look at the problem.

‎

‎'is this bitch that stupid? this is literally the most easiest to solve out of all the questions.' i thought to myself after i looked at the problem.

‎

‎"sorry... i don't actually know how to solve that one" i said, putting on a fake smile.

‎

‎Honestly, i do know how to solve that, i just don't really want to explain. like, can't she just ask the teacher to explain it to her?

‎

‎"oh, okay. thanks, anyway." she says, then walked away.

‎

‎I just sighed and continued minding my own business. i got bored so i took out my phone inside my bag and opened it. i decided to read something to ease my boredom. 'why won't i talk to my classmates' you say? cuz i'm bad at conversing with other people.or i just find their presence annoying or i just really like to be alone, that's all.

‎

‎A few minutes passed and the teacher walked in. ready to teach us. well, not like i listen to her. i just take down notes that they wrote on the board then i understand it. i mean, i'm not that smart, just average. let's go back to the teacher, shall we? even though i can't understand a single thing that she says other than.

‎"blah blah blah this. blah blah blah that." she says.

‎

‎------>>>> [(a/n): this means fast forward btw]

‎

‎I was walking down towards my house. class ended earlier than usual cuz of some sorta teachers meeting, shit like that. well it works for me. i get to go home early after all and just chill at my house (except for my mom nagging me and always sending me out on errands.) i was happily walking when i found a cat. it has a ribbon on its neck so it has an owner. but who tf cares? i'll pet it either way. i approached the cat and it just stared at me. it didn't got scared or ran away. it just stared at me.

‎

‎"hey there, little cat~ (a/n: can be translated as "meow meow meow mawww")

‎

‎The cat responded with a little meow. i squealed in excitement. thankfully, no one was around. if there was someone around, they would think that i'm crazy and i would die in embarrassment. i went even more closer towards the cat and pet it. its soft, fluffy fur brought comfort towards my hands. i grinned like an idiot. so what if i grin cuz of a cat?

‎

‎As i was happily petting the cat. i noticed a shadow gradually peeking behind me. i was flabbergasted. i slowly turned behind me to see who that person was while praying that it wasn't anyone that i know.

‎

‎' shit, shit, shit. please don't be my classmates or anyone i know.' i inwardly prayed.

‎

‎I guess i jinxed it cuz when i turned around, i saw akio— a classmate/ neighbor of mine. i screamed internally, though my face didn't change expression. just the same expressionless one.

‎

‎"oh, yuki. whatcha doin' here?" he asked.

‎

‎'what do you think, idiot?'

‎

‎"o-oh, i just... y'know, found a cat and uhh... decided to...

‎

‎"you mean you wanna pet neko?" he asked

‎

‎oh, so the cat has a name. wait, why does he know the cat's name?

‎

‎"you know him?" i asked back

‎

‎"yeah, i own him. or my family own him rather." he answered.

‎

‎seriously!? of all the stray cat i could find, it has to be owned by someone i know?!

‎

‎"oh, that's good then. guess he found his owner."

‎

‎Oh, god. please don't tell me that he found me all grinning while i was petting this cat. if he did then i just wished that the ground would eat me whole.

‎

‎Oh, don't worry. i won't tell anyone about what i saw." he says out of the blue.

‎

‎sShiiiittt! he did see. i was practically an embarrassed mess in front of akio.

‎

‎"huh? whatcha talking about?" i asked, trying to play dumb.

‎

‎"oh, you know. the part where you got all giddy and meowy when petting the cat. you almost look like a cat yourself."

‎

‎I just covered my face out of embarrassment. he saw that. he actually fking saw that. i hear him giggling lightly. i just glared at him throughy covered face.

‎

‎"you know... this is actually my first time talking to you. considering we're neighbors and classmate and all."

‎

‎Now that i think about it, he's right. we never really talked to each other. i wasn't really much of a social butterfly since i was a kid so i didn't really go out to play with my neighbors nor do i talk to them. actually, this is
