I came walking down the hallway to put away my books so I could head to lunch.
As I got to my locker, I opened it up and saw the pictures of anime memes that I taped on there to make my day better. I chuckled at the sight of them and placed my backpack down and unzipped it. I reached into my bag and took out three heavy books that could be the death of me if I continue to walk around with these books with me any longer.
I placed them at the bottom of my locker and shut my locker till I heard a 'click' meaning that it was locked.
"Phew, I can finally move better now." I thought as I gave out a sigh of relief.
I zipped up my backpack and placed the backpack over my shoulders and headed towards the cafeteria.
As I headed closer to the cafeteria doors, someone came from the right side of me and pushed me down to the floor. As I collapsed, my glasses went right off my face and fell a few feet away from me.
"What's the big idea?!" I said as I looked towards the source.
The person-grabbed ahold of me by the collar and all I could see was the color of the persons skin. It was amber color with a pair of irises the color of cyan. I then looked towards the hair that had the mix of red and yellow. As my brain processed who this person was, I then finally figured out who it was. It was none other than Sunset Shimmer.
"Watch where your going you anime crazed loser." she said to me as she pushed me down onto the floor.
I was on my fours as I tried to reach my glasses. Before I could reach them, Sunset got ahold of them and held them up close to her face.
"These look dirty. Let me help out with that." she said as I noticed a gob of spit shooting out of her mouth onto my glasses.
She then threw them back at me, which smacked me right on my forehead. I grabbed them and used the edge of my shirt to wipe them off.
"I'm not in the mood to bully you anymore. I'm starving. Bully ya later though." she said to me as she walked away.
As I placed my now spit-free glasses on, I stood up and patted my clothes to get any dirt off of me.
"What a bitch." I thought as I continued towards the cafeteria.
As I sat down in the cafeteria eating my lunch on an empty table so that no one could bother me. I took out my phone and played the latest episode of One Punch Man.
I love anime and manga so much. It seemed as if they were my only friends in the world. As sad as it is, I have a social anxiety disorder, which means I have problems communicating with other people (except for my mother). I'm always alone, sitting by myself in a area of the school where no one could irritate me. At times, I notice people staring at me and see them whispering to each other. I guess they are saying things like, "That guy always sits alone." or "Does this guy ever hang out with anyone?" Why don't they just mind their God damn business and get back to what's really important to them. The only person I could talk to is my mother, but not most of the time 'cause she's always on trips. I'm usually alone around the house. Luckily my mother still pays for the rent and would often send me money for whatever I need to live while she's gone. I'm so lonely.
As I finish my episode, I sat up and threw away my lunch and sat back down on the same table where I waited for the bell to ring.
As I sat there, I looked around the cafeteria and saw all of the couples that were in love. They were taking selfies together and do what ever couples normally do. I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart.
"Will I eventually find the girl who would love me?" I thought as a tear came rolling down my cheek.
I couldn't help but cover my face as I cried out of loneliness and despair.
After crying for about five minutes, the bells have rung and everyone headed out of the cafeteria towards their next class. I looked up and wiped the tears from my face.
I slowly got up and walk out of the cafeteria towards my 5th period class.
"Well, at least school's almost over." I said to myself as I passed through the doors.
School has finally ended and I headed out of the doors.
As I walked passed the school statue, I heard a feminine voice call out.
"Yoo-hoo! You there!! Sir with the glasses!"
I turned around and saw a girl with purple hair waving to get my attention. It was none other than Rarity. I heard about her from passing students talking about how good her fashion designs are and that she also plays on the keytar with her friends. What would she want with me?
I walked up to her while starting to quiver not knowing what she wanted from me.
"Y-y-y-y-yes?" I stuttered as I came up to her without looking at her in the eye.
"Could you help me out carrying these boxes into the school with me?" she said as she pointed towards her car.
"WHYME?WHYME?WHYME?" was all I could think of.
"S-s-sure." I replied.
"Thank you, darling. Walk this way."
She and I walked towards the back of the car. I was nervous about screwing up. What if I accidentally break something and she'll go all she-demon over me. I sure as hell don't want that to happen.
By the time we reached to the car, she unlocked the back of the car and picked up one of the boxes.
"Here you go, darling. Be careful it's a tad heavy." she said as she handed the box to me.
I picked up the box and the weight of it felt as if she put a large rock in it.
"G-g-got it."
"All righty, darling. Follow me." she said as she headed back towards the school with me following.
As we walked to the school, I was on the verge of running away. I was really starting to get scared if I dropped the box. I don't know much about her or what she's like, but from the looks of it, she seems like a nice person.
"So darling, have you ever helped a girl or at least someone like this? Don't you have anyone to talk to? When ever I see you around the school, you always seem lonely." she said as she stopped at the top of the stairs near the school entrance waiting for me to catch up to her.
I was freaking out on how to answer that question. I never get that question from anyone around the school. Not even my mother asks questions like that to me.
"Come on, Jake. Say something. Anything." I thought.
"N-n-n-n-not really. I don't r-r-really talk that much to other people." I replied as I made it up the stairs and helped her push the doors open.
As I looked at Rarity's direction, she gave me a rather somewhat sorry face. It felt as if she really cares for me.
"Do you have any friends?" she asked.
"N-no."
"Darling, if y-"
"COULD WE PLEASE GET THESE BOXES IN?!?!" I snapped trying to get Rarity to stop asking these questions.
Rarity stopped her babbling and walked through the doors looking rather surprised. I went in after her.
As I followed her down the hall, I really felt bad for snapping at Rarity.
"R-r-rarity?"
"Yes?"
"S-s-sorry for s-s-snapping." I couldn't look her in the eye.
"No darling. It was my fault. I shouldn't have babbled on like that."
Rarity turned right towards the room where I believe she and her friends go to practice.
"Darling, could you open the door for me please?"
"S-s-sure."
As I tried slowly tried to put the box down, the box slipped out of my hands and all of the equipment that was within the box clattered all over the floor. Some broke into little of pieces. It was at this moment that I knew, that I fucked up.
"Oh no!!" said Rarity as she placed her hands on her head.
"I'MSORRY!I'MSORRY!I'MSORRY!" was all I could say as I fell to my knees.
"That equipment costs a lot of money! How am I gonna tell the girls?! What am I to do?!" she said as she looked down at me with a fit of frustration.
"Why…WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING RIGHT!!!" I shouted as I ran down the hall away from Rarity.
"Darling, wait!!" said Rarity as she tried to catch up to me.
"LEAVE ME ALONE! DON'T TALK TO ME!" I shouted as I ran out of the school and towards home with my hands covering my face.
At home, I laid down on my bed face down crying my eyes out of my failure. I always screwed up. I can't cook, I can't talk to people, I can't even help a single person. I felt like a weakling. It was moments like these that make me want to commit suicide and not have to deal with the troubles around me. Of course I couldn't do that, 'cause I'm too much of a coward to do that.
"Rarity must hate me. Why can't I do anything right." I said as I snuggled my face on my pillow.
Fifteen minutes have passed and I was starting to feel so much better. I got up from my bed and walked down towards the kitchen where a slice of pizza is waiting for me in the fridge.
After warming it up, I remembered that I needed to catch up on Parasyte. I then headed down to the living room where I sat down and flipped through recordings of Parasyte. I was right, I missed the latest episode.
"Let's get started." I said as I pressed the play button.
"Now that that's done, time to read the latest chapter of T-REX Na Kanojo."
I sat up and grabbed my plate to put away in the dishwasher. After putting my plate away, I headed down the hall to my room where I switched my light on and turned on my Mac. Before I read, I went through my iTunes and played the song Fine On The Outside which was heard from the film When Marnie Was There. This song really reminds me of myself. Would someone out there cry if I die and would they remember my face? That question will be a mystery to me.
I clicked onto Safari and went through my bookmakers for the website to where I usually read manga online. I looked on there and found out there wasn't a new chapter.
"Shoot! And I really wanted a new chapter." I said to myself as I closed off the web and continued listening to the song.
As the song ended I silently shut down my Mac and walked tony closet where I could change into my PJ's. I yanked out some sweatpants that have the symbol of the brand of sacrifice all over from top to bottom.
After changing, I turned on my lamp and lay down on my bed while reaching the top of my drawer to grab ahold of the light novel Spice & Wolf. Spice & Wolf was the anime that made me what I am today. I love the characters, I love the plot, and I love the romance between Holo and Lawrence.
"Why isn't there a season three of the anime yet? It needs another season." I said to myself as I opened up the book and continued where I left off yesterday.
Thirty minutes have passed and I was starting to get tired. I looked towards my clock and said 9:30. Man does time fly by.
I bookmarked the page to where I left off and placed it on top of my drawer. I then reached to my lamp and turn it off. I snuggled in my bed to get all warm and cozy. My bed felt really soft as I lay there staring up at the ceiling.
As I lay down on my bed, I couldn't help but think of the song I heard earlier.
"Would someone out there besides my mother cry if I die and would remember my face?"
I slowly felt my eyes getting heavy and heavier as I was beginning to drift off to sleep.
The next day, I walked down the path towards the school listening to a sad song that also fits myself.
I gave out a sigh and looked around my phone to see if mom called me. As I looked, there were no new messages.
"It would be nice to hear moms voice again." I said while looking towards the ground as I continued walking straight.
As I walked up to the school, the bell rang so suddenly.
"Huh?" I said as I took out my phone and looked at the time.
" 7:55?! Damn it! I must have left home later than usual." I thought as I ran blindly towards the school.
As I ran up to the school, I heard the footsteps of someone running behind me. As I turned my head to see who it was, I connected heads with the person and somehow papers were fluttering all over me.
"Ugh, who hit me? And where are all of these papers coming from?" I said as I grab ahold of one of the papers and rubbed my head to clear away the pain.
As I looked at the paper, it had a paw print on the top right corner. At the top of the paper, it said, " Canterlot Animal Shelter Needs Your Help."
"Are these pamphlets for an animal shelter? Who would do that?" I said to myself.
"Ow, my head." said a soft feminine voice in pain.
"What's the big id-" I was cutoff at the sight of the person who bumped into me.
In front of me was a pink haired girl with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Her eyes were like the color of the sea. She wore a tank top with a skirt that had three butterflies stitched onto it. She even had a hairpin that looked like a butterfly. She was beautiful.
She looked at me with surprise and covered her mouth out of shock.
"Oh my gosh! Are you ok?" she asked me as she reached her hand towards the bump on my head.
"Oh...Uh, y-y-yes. A bit hurt from the collision." I said as I backed up and rubbed the bump on my head.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"I'll b-b-be fine. Hakuna Matata."
"Hehehehehe. What a funny word." she said as she giggled again.
"Hehehehe. I guess it is f-f-funny." I replied while joining in on her giggling.
"Oh my gosh, now's not the time to giggle. Could you help me pick these up?" she said as she grabbed the pamphlets one by one.
"Sure." I said as I grabbed Ahold of a pamphlet one-by-one.
While picking them up, I looked up at the girl. She looked like an angel that came down from heaven to be by my side.
"I've never seen anyone so beautiful and cute around here. I guess I don't pay that much attention to the people around the school or even around me." I thought as I looked back down at the ground picking up the pamphlets.
After picking up the pamphlets. I handed them back to the girl.
"Thank you, um..." she said as she got up.
"Jake." I replied as I did the same by standing up.
"Thank you, Jake." she said as she gave me a little smile.
My heart began to beat quickly and my face was starting to sweat at the moment she gave me that smile.
"Go on. Say 'your welcome'." I thought.
"Y-y-your welcome." I replied as I began to blush.
"Also would you mind taking one of these?" she asked as she handed me one of the pamphlets.
I stood there, not knowing what to say.
"Come on, man! Say something to this cute girl." I thought.
"S-s-sure. I w-wouldn't mind. D-d-do you give these out often?" I asked nervously as i grabbed ahold of the pamphlet she held out for me.
"I hand these out every Wednesday. The Canterlot Animal Shelter needs volunteers and I help spread the word about it."
"D-d-do you work there?" I asked.
"Of course. I always help an animal in need. Are you interested in volunteering?"
"W-w-well, I uh-" I was caught off as the tardy bell ran.
"Oh my gosh! We're late! See you then, Jake." she said as she ran up the stairs towards the school entrance.
"See you, then." I replied though I didn't project it loud enough for her to hear me.
My heart has stopped beating quickly and I whipped off the cold sweat off of my head.
"Why is my heart beating so quickly? Well, I'll have to think about that later. I'm tardy to the party!" I thought as I ran up the stairs towards the office for a tardy pass.
