Chapter 003: Stuff Happens

Sato-San woke up and rolled over to look at the time, it was 8:20AM.

"Huh?!"

He jolted up and changed into his uniform. He ran downstairs and out the door not saying bye to any of his family members. He ran down the road and saw someone else running also, he sped up because he recognized who it was, Kawasaki Hayate. He was always the last to get to school, but he was also Sato-San's friend and Senpai.

"How do you do this every morning?"

"Huh, who, what? Oh! Hey Higura-San! I just do this every morning because I can, you get used to it after awhile."

"I can never do this every morning, that's for sure."

They were both running towards the same destination but Sato-San could always get to the destination faster because of one reason. Hayate was incredibly weak, he was unable to build any kind of muscles and because of that he wasn't the best runner, it's a surprise he could even just barely make it to school before being considered late. He also tended to go overboard with a lot of the stuff he does without even realizing it.

"We'll, I'm gonna go on ahead, there's something I have to today."

"Ooh, is our loner friend finally making more friends? Maybe he is leaving his loner wings behind and finally using his true persona compared to his false one! Oh, the sadness of no longer being the special friend of a friend who never makes friends. The pain!"

"Be quiet, it's just a little mistake I made, I accidentally revealed my true persona and now someone in homeroom doesn't view me as a jerk and thinks I'm a nice guy…Which, well the nice guy is my real self, the jerk self isn't. I just don't want to see me using my false one after I've already shown her my real one."

"Her? Oh no! Not only am I losing the role of special friend, I'm also losing the role of possible love candidate!"

"Yeah, you have your crush, so I don't think that last sentence flows that well."

"Yeah I guess that's true."

"I'm going up ahead now, I'll see you at school."

"Okay! See ya later!"

Sato-San sped up as he turned around a corner, it was now 8:37AM.

'I have to make it, Hayate-San is still all the way back there.'

Sato-San turned around another corner as he reached the school road at 8:40AM. He ran to the school and made it at 8:42AM, he went upstairs with the intent of getting to his homeroom so he could talk with Shiratori-San, even if he would have preferred to be alone.

He walked up the stairs and began to turn the corner when he hit something and fell down the stairs hitting his head.

He woke up in the nurse's office, he took out his phone which now read 9:27AM.

'Well then, stuff happens I guess…Wait? Who brought me here?'

He sat up and walked over to the nurse who

seemed to be working on some kind of research. She put her pen and turned to face Sato-San. She had a seductive like look to her, she had long brown hair and makeup on. He'd only been to the nurse's office a few times so he rarely saw her.

"You're allowed to leave now, it wasn't anything serious."

"Who brought me in?"

"A red haired 3rd year middle school girl that happened to be walking by, or at least that's what she told me."

-Hello! Cutting in real quick, I haven't said this yet but the school that Sato-San attends has their middle and high schools in the same building, that's all I wanted to say.

"Hm, well I guess I should get to class now."

"Just avoid hitting your head on anything, do that and you should be fine."

He opened the door, walked out and began walking to class.

'I guess I'll explain what happened to Shiratori-San if she's in the library today. I don't want it to seem like I may have blown her off. Also if I meet the person who brought me here I'll have to thank her, though I doubt I'll ever see her with such a vague description.'

He made it to class and went through the rest of the day as he normally would except with an additional loss of luck. First he tripped and hit his head into a desk causing him to have to go back to the nurse's, he spilled water over himself during lunch, during gym he got pelted in the crouch 4 times with hard balls.

When the school day was over he took extra care getting to the library as he didn't want to get hurt or have anything happen that was unlucky. When he made it to the library he put his bag at one of the desks and began searching for Shiratori-San, he hadn't seen her throughout any point of the day.

He searched every aisle and every desk but didn't see her. He went back to his desk and took out his laptop ready to start writing.

'If I can't explain what happened I'll seem like a jerk, she already knows my true self so faking my persona around her would definitely make me feel guilty. I don't care if I do it to people who have never had contact with my true persona…But this is completely different from normal.'

He began then not even after a minute he was jump scared by Shiratori-San. He fell back in his chair hitting his head again and saw under her skirt for a moment before blacking out again.

When he woke up he was still in the library but soon realized what he was laying on. His head was on Shiratori-San's lap while she was reading a book. He jolted up and turned to face her.

"Ah, your awake! I heard about how you shouldn't hit your head right now but the nurse had to leave early today so I couldn't bring you anywhere."

"If you know that, then you know why I wasn't able to talk to you during homeroom."

"It's fine, I didn't think anything of it, stuff happens."

"Ahh, I just remembered there's something I wanted to give you!"

He began digging into his bag to grab the signed copy of his book. He held it in front of her with her wearing a confused expression.

"I have two signed copies so I thought I'd give you one of them, it's the one you said you didn't have yet, right?"

"R-Really? It's signed though, I couldn't take it."

"It's fine, I already said that I have another copy signed."

"I'll take up your author then."

"…Author?"

"Ah! Sorry I'm so surprised that I messed up my words."

"Okay then. What time is it…5:24PM?! I have to start heading home, sorry we didn't get to talk much!"

He began to stand up but fell and had his hand placed directly on Shiratori-San's chest. They both began blushing as he stood up fully and began running out while yelling.

"Sooooorrrryyyy!!!!"

'Could that be considered good luck or bad luck? I don't know…'

Well, one thing to take from all this is…Stuff happens…
