A Really Bad Day PartII; …You’re Not My Hero…
I was just about to arrive at the bike park when a group of boys from some sort of sports team saw me and decided to intersect my path.
They encircle me and I have to stop abruptly.
One of them decides to say the equivalent of “Hey baby, do you like Japanese boys?”
He said this soon after I had to stop abruptly so I was awkwardly trying not to fall over and by default just let out “ah for FUCKS SAKE” which I do when I’m startled and about to fall.
I finally got my balance and looked up at them with a surprised expression. They were all obviously startled by my swearing in English and the main guy signals for them to leave so they cycle away with their tails between their legs.
So much for looking cool I guess. Though I have to admit, looking back on it, it does kind of freak me out. I mean what did they want?
I rush up to labs to find that my tutor had done everything for me so I offer to help her with her English presentation and finish putting away the cleansed cover glasses I had made, but I manage to cut my hand on one rendering about 5 of them unusable. Not to mention it really hurt!
I nursed my cut and left the laboratory. It had been such a long day so I was looking forward to getting home and just relaxing.
I went to see Dixie in her lab before I left.
In some labs they use slippers instead of letting you wear your outside shoes. This isn’t the case in my lab but it is for Dixie so I always keep a spare pair of slippers in our prep room just in case.
I go to her lab and set my slippers down on the mat so I could put them on, but someone calls me from the down the corridor. It was Dixie’s tutor’s friend, I call him Billy. (Don’t ask…he looks like the Japanese version of the blue ranger from MightyMorphinPowerRangers)
“Long time no see Advena! You looking for Dixie? I’m afraid she’s just gone to get some food. You shouldnt hang around here of you don’t have to you know! Go home!” He smiled and chucked a bit.
Two girls from their lab pass me but I don’t take much notice and carry on talking to Billy.
His English is really amazing after spending his childhood in Oregon. So it’s nice to break away from always using broken Japanese which I have to do in my lab.
He then says that his professor is mad at him about something and he has to rush off.
I turn to pick up my slippers…Except they’re not there.
How can they not be there?! Unless…What? No way, those girls wouldn’t have taken them would they?
I knocked on the door and they both smiled at one another and looked down. …Something fishy…
I then see one of them kick something under a bench.
I open the door and say excuse me to ask if they’ve seen my slippers. One looks at me and gives me an ice cold look.
Yikes…
I ask them if they’ve seen my slippers and go up to the bench where I can see something underneath.
Yep. There they are.
I take them and put them in my bag. I say thank you and am about to walk out when the girl who gave me the dirty look says something along the lines of,
“Next time, don’t go near Billy. He’s mine”
I gave her a massive “WTF?!” look and said, “Ok, I understand. But if you do this again I’m going to tell your professor”
I walk out. Man I just want to go home and sleep…People are mean…
I say goodbye to the people in my lab and set off.
I was cycling home when I see Hayden coming in the other direction I nod at him and he blatantly sees me but pretends not to. It was so fake.
He then pretends to be surprised by me being there and then “almost crash” into me. This then drives me off the cycle path and onto the grass. I lose balance and go flying off my bike, do a roll in mid air and land flat on my arse.
I lay there for a few seconds disorientated and with my hair over my face when I notice someone coming over. It was Hayden. He said something which I can’t remember, I was too dazed.
He then puts one of his arms underneath me to support my back and brushes my hair away with the other, in a very “Prince Charming” style.
He then, in a very over the top manner pretends to be worried about me and looks into my eyes. I can’t remember anything he said, just that it was over the top…And I was seeing stars
My brain is still trying to process everything that just happened and so I just stare at him blankly.
He then moves closer to my face and closes his eyes. A little blinking light goes off in my head
*Advena he’s going to kiss you*
The hell he is!
I quickly pushed him off me and got up, stumbling a bit because I was still seeing stars.
I was so angry that he would try something this stupid. I wonder what the hell gave him the idea that if he knocked me off my bike he could come and kiss me. Where in the hell did he get messed up logic like that?
He stood there looking at me and I notice a graze on my arm. I was fuming so much inside but I kept my cool.
I picked up my bike, shook my head at him and said “You’re really something Hayden…”
I went on my way.
What an incredible day…
W. T. F. !. ?.
Shit!
Horrible, miserable bastards (and bitches)!
It seems like you stumbled into a Twilight Zone episode.
First the boys up to God knows what (that scared me when I read it!)
Next the crazy girls and fianlly Hayden and his strange attempt at romance?
You need to watch your back for sure.

That sounds very scary!
So many bastards (and bitches)
The group of bays with God knows ahat on their minds, the mean girls and then Hayden’s feeble, strange attempt at romance.
You really need to watch your back!
Man, best of luck with all that. I’ve experienced some really childish bullying before, and the fact that they think I’ll really have my feelings hurt is what pisses me off the most. Good luck with anything! Glad to have another chick in the Land of the Rising Sun!
Hmm.
That’s where my missing response went to.
Damn innerwebs!
Wow, what a crazy day. What was with those weird guys? I can’t believe they tried to surround you. At least you know what works to drive them away, just scream and curse in English. haha
Love it.
Hi guys! Thanks for your comments!
Azami- Haha! I really didn’t mean to curse at them. I’m not a loud or very confident person in those situations. It kind of just came out.
I guess it works though so I might just have to use it again if there’s a next time!
Pandora- You’re so right. I mean why did they steal my slippers if I was talking to a boy they liked? It’s just rude and uncalled for. Glad not all Japanese people are like that though.
Good luck with everything too! And yeah It’s really nice to have the chick company!
Bill- Haha, Yeah I guess I do. Don’t worry I’m a strong lady I’ll manage!
