I suddenly realized that I had to go to vacation class. "Shit ..." I mumbled and lazily left the school building. "Aki." I heard Hibiko's voice behind me. ,,Hm? ", I made and turned around awkwardly to her. She was pretty red." Do you have a fever? ". "What, um, no ...", she replied quickly. "What do you want ...", I wanted to go home quickly. "Oh, it's just I wanted to say thank you again ...". "Thank you?". ,, Because of the concert, so um ... I'm looking forward to Friday, isn't it Friday, isn't it? "." Sure, sure. ". ,,See you tomorrow. ", Hibiko smiled and trotted towards the train station.I had decided to go home via the dirt road. Of course it took a lot longer and I really wanted to go home, but who knows what had ridden me there. I just took the longer way.
I turned my head to the side, the sun was setting and the little stream, which I hadn't even noticed this morning, glittered a little. In slow, small steps I strolled along the path and got even further off the path than I was already. I was kind of lost in thought. My gaze wandered around an ugly wall, probably a building site in distant times. In the meantime the construction work had probably been stopped. Hmm. Something had made me stop in front of the building and take a look. The scaffolding was pretty lousy, you had to be really afraid that the part would crash on you at any moment. I heard a strange crunch and looked up. The next moment I wish I hadn't. Something fell down on me from the maybe ten meter high building, or much more someone. My eyes widened and, as if by reflex, I spread my arms. "Shit, it's heavy ...", I sighed and only now looked at the girl who had just decided to jump into my thin arms with her fifty kilos. Hm. She passed out, had green, short hair , wore a warm white jacket with a cat hood, a skirt that was much too short, a pair of red shoes and was covered in bruises. What an embarrassing outfit. Shit! Where was I now ?! I saw the headlines in front of me: "Mediocre middle school student pushes underage girl to death and denies everything!". The thought ran cold down my spine. I put it on the floor and briefly toyed with the thought of leaving it and just running away. Why didn't I just do it? Why did I have to be so fucking sensible? I sighed. "Hey, you ...", I nudged her carefully. She did not touch her. Great. What should I do now? I had asked for changes, but that was not what I meant. Shit! Apart from the fact that she was lying on the floor in front of me, she was really cute. "Man Araragi! Come on! Call the police and get out of here! Get lost! It is none of your business, you are not involved in the matter! ", I tried to calm myself. What else could I do but take her with me? But no, I couldn't do that. What would my mother say if I stood in the door and held an unconscious girl with bruises in my arms? Great . And what now? I could hardly go to Hibiko. I certainly couldn't go to school and I didn't dare go to the police. While I thought about it, I didn't notice the girl supporting herself with one hand on my leg. ,, Huh?Uh, are you alright? ", I was really hectic. She looked at me a little exhausted but said nothing." Don't you want to tell me why you throw yourself down from this house on me? ". Again there was no answer. Instead she reached out to me like a little child and seemed to wait for me to react and carry her. "I'm sorry, but I have to go home quickly, so ...". She looked at me sadly and seemed close to tears. Man. I hadn't wanted that now either. Is life kidding me ?! I hoped that I would wake up any moment. Yes, wake up. Just wake up. Wake up and lie at home in my bed that is far too soft. "I really have to go home now ..." I got up and turned around. She was still sitting a little puzzled on the floor, but then got up and stumbled after me in small steps. "Listen, you're going where you came from now, and I'm going home and we're forgetting all of that. ", I laughed at her. Man, I was once again off the track. She looked at me lost. I sighed." Well, come on ... ". She was really beaming, her expression resembling that of Hibiko. "I'll tell you one thing, when we're with me I'll call the police ..." I mumbled and looked at her angrily. Great. Because of her, my day was fucked up. And because I had taken such a detour, I needed , no we, what felt like an hour until we finally stood in front of my house. "Are we there?" I turned around, startled. ,, D-you can talk ?! ". ,,Naturally.". "Then why didn't you say anything earlier ?! ", I got really hysterical." If I had said something, you would never have taken me with you. ", she laughed. I sighed. She was right. "Okay, then go where you came from now ...". "Huh?". "You know, go away.". I crossed my arms. "And where should I go?", She sounded quite serious. "Well, you fell from heaven, so more or less ..." I mumbled. "From heaven?" She asked puzzled and looked up. "Well, from a skyscraper, but heaven hits it pretty well." "Maybe ...", she smiled. "... I'm an angel ...", she added. I had to laugh, no, I really snorted. "What? I'm serious!". “I don't want to disappoint you, but you are not an angel, there is no such thing. "I continued laughing. She was still looking up at the sky." So, now go to where you came from ... ". “But I don't know where I'm from! ", she was close to tears again." Are you kidding me? ". "No.". "Do you at least know what your name is?". She shook her head. I sighed. "Great ...". "Do you want to give me a name, Masutā?" She asked hopefully. ,, Masutā ?! Are you crazy?! ". (* Note: Masutā = master). ,, But Masutā ...". "Neck mouth ...". "But ...". "Listen, I'm a simple junior high school student, I'm going to walk through this door now and you'll get lost!".
Annoyed, I slammed the door and threw myself on the sofa in the living room. After a while, I stumbled into the kitchen, ate the remains of lunch, and went to sleep. What was that for a day? Bugger me. I snuggled comfortably in my bed and tried to fall asleep. For some reason, I thought of Hibiko and her fiddle. Mh. To fall asleep that would be just the thing now. Strangely enough, at some point I still managed to fall asleep, and the next morning my clinking alarm clock got me out of bed. Oh yes, vacation lessons. Crap. I got up reluctantly, my mother was probably still asleep. Who could blame her on vacation? ,, Man. I'm not in the mood for school ... ", I mumbled and kicked the bathroom door angrily. Great, now my foot was hurting too. Hm. It was just before half past six, I was on time. Without any more time wasting in my boring four walls, I scurried down the stairs and opened the door. "Huh ?!", I looked astonished at the floor. ,,You?! What are you doing here?! ", I asked hysterically." Good morning, Masutā. ", the girl from yesterday beamed at me. I gave her questioning looks. ,,I have been waiting for you. ", she added." All night ?! ". "Yes.". My eyes roamed the watch on my wrist. "I don't have time for such crap now, I have to go to school!" I pushed past her hectically and trotted quickly down the street. And again she ran after me. “Don't you have anything better to do than kidding me? ", I yelled at her." No. " "If you had at least a name ...". "A name, Masutā?". ,, My name is Araragi, my face! ". ,, Masutā Araragi.". "I'll hit you right away.". "But why?". "Because you upset me, maybe we should call them Baka ...", I rolled my eyes. (* Note Baka = idiot, stupid). "You are mean Masutā ...". "As I said, I'll hit you right away ...". She stopped. "Hmm, what's up now?" ,,Hm? Oh, nothing ... I only thought if I fell from heaven, then there might be other angels, and ... "." To write down again: You are not from heaven but from a skyscraper on top of me fell, and there are no angels, man! "how this girl upset me. “Oh yes, I am the angel of Masutā Araragi! ", she beamed resolutely. Shit, that could be cheerful.
