An English Web Novel
Every day, it’s the same thing for me, I wake up in my house in Kyushu, I get ready for school. I put on my uniform, a red and black one. Well, I call it a uniform. We don’t TECHNICALLY have to wear it, but pretty much everyone does. Well, Sam-kun doesn’t, but they are literally the only person i can think of who doesn’t wear one. And let’s be real, they wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a skirt. Yesterday they wore a t-shirt and jeans. And the day before that. And every day before that since I can remember.
I’ve known them since I was 12. I transferred to Mahou Shoko when i was 12. I only read the furigana, I was never confident with my kanji. I get to be a magical girl!!! That sounds freaking awesome! Of course, it wasn’t magical girls, but rather Demon Law Academy. It’s a misleading name regardless, it’s just a normal school. It just happens to be in the underworld. Well, it makes the commute easy at least, i just gotta reach into a mirror
* * * * * * * * * *
I fell out of the sky and ran into Sam
As i predicted, Sam-kun was…
Sam-kun isn’t wearing jeans…
Mark it in the history books, Sam-kun isn’t wearing jeans. they will never do this agai--
-Lol, yeah right. Jeans and a T-shirt. AGAIN. At least it’s cool. It’s a plain black shirt, but in 8-bit letters it says “404: Gender not Found”. I get why they wear the t-shirts, but god are they cringy some times.
“T-shirt and Jeans again, how original.”
“Wow, the school uniform, how original”
Ok, I guess I'm not original in what I wear, but still, they could wear something else. Maybe sweatpants, or like, anything else.
“I shouldn’t even be doing this, but Shiratori-san”
Upon hearing Cassie-chan's name, my mind gets distracted, she’s just the best. I have the hugest crush on her. Largest? Hugest? Screw grammer, who needs it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
“Lucy, Lucy, Lucy!”
Huh. I'm awoken from my trance by Sam-kun yelling at me.
“Sorry, I just.” Oh crap, Cassie-chan was there.
“Like i was saying, you know how you did really good on your math test last week, and you said ok to the teacher when he asked if you’d tutor someone.”
“Oh, uh yeah, i see.”
“Hi, Shiratori-san, I’m Lucy Fujiwara. Ah, you can just call me Lucy, I’d prefer that to being called something like Fujiwara-san. I’ll help you with your math. I guess we should pick a date. When works for you? I’ll probably have time, but i will have to double check” KILL ME NOW
That was a lie, I always have time, and always for Cassie-chan. Did you know that I’m actually the picture on the tv tropes page for gay disaster? Well, I'm not, but i really should be, i am a gay disaster. I’m a tomato. I just, god, someone kill me.
“How about 9am on Sunday?”
Ok, I guess I wasn't lying. My favorite show airs at 9am on Sunday. Ugh, what’s more important. The love of my life, or Cassie-chan?
…
…
DANG IT CASSIE!
“Uh, yeah, I don’t have anything going on then.”
Oh god, how am I going to avoid spoilers tomorrow?
“Great, I am really failing, and I just don’t understand Derivatives.”
My immediate thoughts were F@$* DERIVATIVES!
My less immediate thoughts included even more profanity.
I at once went on Chirpr, I have to complain about this somewhere.
[Lucy] [@LucyFir]: So i get to hang out with my crush, but i have to miss the new episode of HNZ to do so.
Wait, does Cassie-chan follow me on Chirpr?
I ran through every interaction I had ever had with her. I went from an apple to a cherry
PLEASE STRIKE ME DEAD.
Oh god, @#$% %$&* !@#$ *&%$@#^$%@, WHY! I just-
*Chirp*
Someone responded.
[Sam (They/them)] [@DemonSlayer69]: Don't let @cashiro see this
WHY DID YOU @ HER YOU IDIOT!!!
I rushed rapidly. Really Racing. I deleted the Chirp.
* * * * * * * * * *
DING DONG. Sunday came before I knew it. I decided I would wear something nice. I ended up waking up at 5 just to get ready. I eventually decided on the most original thing I could think of. Jeans and a T-shirt. Specifically, ripped deep blue jeans and a fuchsia t-shirt. Not a graphic tee though, just a normal fuchsia t-shirt.
I opened the door, and there was Cassie-chan.“Hey, Shiratori-san." I realized that I didn’t need to put on any blush.
“Please just call me Cassie-chan"
EEEEE! She told me to call her cassie-chan!!!!
“Ok Cassie-chan. Well, umm, what do you need help with?”
“I told you Lucy-san, I needed help with derivatives.”
OH Yeah, she did need help with derivatives.
“Ok.”
“So, do you live alone, or”
“Yeah, i live alone, my parents kicked me out when...”
What am I saying? I can’t tell her about that.
“Oh, I see. I guess we are kindred spirits.”
“E?”
“Oh, I was also kicked out. Perhaps it might be easiest for us to share the rent. I’ve been struggling to make ends meet recently.”
“Umm, I would have to check with my landlord, but that would certainly help me out too. I only have one bedroom though.”
“Oh, my apartment actually has 2 bedrooms, I used to bunk with someone, but she...”
“Ah, I guess I could move into yours. Not like it would drastically change my commute.”
She laughed at that.
I smiled at her laughing at me.
“Let’s head inside.”
“Uh yeah”
