Another day.

Another same day.

As usual, i got up, took a quick shower, ate breakfast and caught my bus.

50's Jazz again.

The weather is cloudy, by noon it might rain. But i love the color of the grey sky. I love rain even more than sunshine. Nobody's up to do anything special, you just do your thing and get unbothered.

- h-hey.. M-madara.. good morning.

I look to the right, i see Misa, my classmate.

- oh, hey Misa. How's it going?

- oh, I-I'm good, thanks. - She blushes. - how's it going w-with you?

- well, you know.. same as usual, bored, haha.

- oh, haha -she chuckles nervously.

She's always like this when i'm arou- no, come to think of it, she's always like this.

- t-the weather's not looking good, how sad.

Why do people feel the need to speak when there's nothing to talk about. Well, i guess that's what happens when you like someone. Ugh, shame i don't look at her the same way, she's actually pretty great i guess.

- yeah, but on the other hand, Mr. Choi's class might get missed. Remember how he wanted to play volleyball with the class as a warm up for the upcoming uni tournament.

- oh y-yeah, r-right!

- if you ask me, it's pretty boring.

- oh, w-why.. it's not like it's gonna be something huge, you know. It's just a ga-

- yeah yeah, i know it's just a game between the classes but-

My word stays right in my mouth, because the bus stops at the bus stop and loud students get in. And when i say loud, i mean loud.

- ah, nevermind. - i chuckle.

She chuckles back. Again, nervously. The students that i mentioned recently, don't seem to quiet down. I even turn up the volume in my earphones - no use. I turn around from my seat to tell them as polite as possible to shut up.

- hey, why don't yall quiet down a bit, it's 7am for the love of g- huh? What is h- what is he doing here?

- haha, go Hashi, teach that bastard his lesson - a boy standing next to him says with quite a laughter.

Hashi? Is his name Hashi? His father must hate him.

He just stares at me with a surprised expression on his face.

- hey it's you! - he says with quite a joy.

- huh? You know that guy, Hashirama?

Oh, there you go. Hashirama. Man, and i thought- ugh, whatever.

- i guess i can say that i know him. Why don't yall hold on a sec, i'll be right back.

He approaches to where Misa and i were sitting.

- hey!

- h-hey - i stutter. Wait, why do i stutter?

- so this is your bus huh?

- wait what are you doing here? I've been taking this bus for over half year now, never have i ever seen you here before.

- remember how your bus got cancelled yesterday? The same happened to mine this morning, i don't know why though. it took me longer than usual to catch this one, but i had no other choice. I was actually planning to catch another one on the next stop later, the guys want to skip the first class, haha.

I looked over, they didn't really seem to like the fact that he came to me and started talking.

- skip the class? I thought your fath-

- hey, shhh!!! - he shushes me immediately. Then gets a little bit closer and kinda whispers - come on, don't make me look like a scaredy-cat in front of them, do you really think they know anything? - and he chuckles.

- o-oh, oka-

- y-you know what.. - suddenly Misa starts to speak up - i'll j-just take another seat, t-there's plenty here, y-you guys can chitchat, haha.

- plenty of seats? Misa, there's literally not a singl-

- it's okay, M-madara, i'm just gonna- and she stood up as if there was fire under her skirt, and went to another end of the bus.

- so, Madara is your name huh?

- so it is, Hashirama.

He chuckles and takes a seat.

- hey, what do you think you're doing, Hashi? Our stop is the next, get your butt up! - one of those guys shouts.

- ah crap - Hashirama rolls his eyes - just a second you guys! - he shouts back. Yeah, those guys reeealy don't like all of this.

- so why skip the class?

- ah, we have this test that none of them studied for, so not to seem like a scared father's boy i agreed to do it with them. They're pretty cool actually, just the idea of me "abandoning" them for some stranger doesn't flatter them.

"Some stranger" huh. I guess i am some stranger after all. I just met you yesterday.

- well then, i won't feel offended if you go back to them. It's all cool.

- ugh - he rolls his eyes again - as if they're cool. - he whispers and chuckles.

- hey, Hashi! This is our stop!

- so hey, before i leave, where do you go to uni?

- to "the university of Tokyo"

- no kidding! For real?

- why? You too?

- duh! But it is pretty huge, no wonder i haven't seen you before.

- yeah i guess.

- hey! You wanna ditch us or what? - one of the guys seems angry.

- i'm coming!

He stands up to leave, his friends are already off the bus.

- we should definitely meet up at uni.

- sure thing. - i say.

And right before he was about leave, the bus doors close in front of his face and continues driving.
