REMPAK: The Destruction

Part 7: A Bad Day Always Starts With Waking Up in the Morning

When Airi woke up in the morning, her father was not seen in any corner of the house. The feeling was so bad because last night ended the conversation not well enough. Though, after thinking clearly, maybe Airi's father did not intend to forbid it, but only gave advice.

Even though he still doesn't understand. What's wrong with his circle of friends?

Airi packed up quickly to get to school. He stared at his reflection in a white shirt. The academy where he studied did not peg all students must wear uniforms. However, this was only the best shirt Airi had.

Today, her hair is tied high. His straight mane fell over his shoulders. No makeup stuck to his face. Airi held back, she actually also wanted to dress up. But in the end only lip moisturizers leave traces there.

He glanced at his watch as he reached the bus stop. There were still fifteen minutes before the school gates closed. Airi has five minutes to breathe if reduced length of travel.

Just now Airi was about to get into the bus, suddenly she was pushed away. The girl did not understand what was going on as the passengers flocked to get out.

"God! Oh, my God, what is this?!"

"Yahoo!!!"

"Surge! Move over!"

The panic and chaos mixed into one. Airi could have fallen stepped on if she did not control her body to be balanced. Airi's shoulder was nudged there and here. The girl grimaced small. Actually, what the hell is going on?

"Call police! Someone call the police!"

"Gosh, is he crazy?!"

"Yahoo!!!"

Airi took pains to look towards the bus, figuring out the cause of all this commotion. He could see the contents of the bus because of the clear window. For God's sake, it's only seven o'clock in the morning and someone's in there with a fucking knife! Airi did not think.

Instinctively, Airi stepped back and secured herself after finding the driver's seat empty. It seems like everyone got out. However, the freak was still inside the bus, aiming his knife in all directions with a shout.

"YAHHHHH!!!"

Everyone stayed away even though they were a short distance away from the bus. The stops and sidewalks became crowded. Some vehicles stop until a minor traffic jam occurs.

Airi reckon, she should go. There was no point in watching all this commotion. He's sure someone called the police and they're on their way.

Airi must not be late to the academy. His teacher, might not want to hear any reason because this incident did not affect them. The academy did not tolerate the delay even though the reason was beyond Airi's control.

As much as possible, Airi penetrated the crowd. He couldn't possibly take the next bus, let alone catch an earlier bus. Perhaps, Airi just needed to run. If it was ten minutes by bus, how long would it take if the girl ran? 30 minutes? 45 minutes? Ah, he'll stay late.

Airi moaning. It's no use. He was indeed worried about being late but Airi was also unwilling to waste her energy to fight for something that was definitely a failure.

The girl scratched her non-itchy nape. Why did so many unwanted things happen when he had just risen to the third level?

Beep it! Beep it!

The girl stopped in shock at the sudden sound of a car horn. Airi turned her head and found a shiny black car lowering her speed and following her steps.

"Water!"

"Ho? Akane?"

As the rear door window lowered, Akane's head looked out. His friend smiled brightly. It seems like he had a good start. Inversely with Airi.

"Come in! You can be late!"

Airi did not refuse. This was the miracle he had hoped for since leaving the bus stop.

"What are you doing there?" After sitting on the back bench right next to Akane, he was immediately greeted with questions.

Airi was fascinated when she touched the seat of the car. It's cozy! Akane's really from a lucky family, huh?

"I? I'm gonna take the bus to school."

"It's lucky you met me today. You can be late if you don't."

"Yes, of course. Thank you very much." Airi smiled brightly. Akane helped him greatly reduce the number of sentences.

"Oh, yes! I have something for you!"

Airi raised an eyebrow when she saw Akane now reaching into the contents of her bag. The girl took out two sheets of paper along the palm of her hand.

"I actually wanted to give it to you back at the academy. But since we've met, I'd like to tell you right away!"

Airi just nodded. He waited patiently for Akane's explanation. The girl was still filled with enthusiasm, Airi did not want to ruin her momentum.

"That's a theater ticket!" Airi blinked hearing that.

"Theater?"

"Yes!"

"Miss, we're here." Airi's words were stifled when Akane's driver told them that this was already right in front of the academy's gate. Traveling by private vehicle is really faster.

"Thank you," Airi said to Akane's driver after she was pulled down by her friend. The car went off after he received an answer with a nod without a smile.

"Why do you suddenly want to see the theater?" Airi was finally able to ask after they walked towards the main building.

"Is this a movie theater?" The girl asked back. Akane likes strange things, but she never hears a second about theater.

"No!"

"It's theater! Original theatre! The stage! The music! The costume!" Akane shouted out each element with passion. People looked strangely at him.

"O-okay, I get it." Airi smiled awkwardly as they were now the center of attention.

"You're going with me, right?" Now, the girl put on a thinking pose. He observed the ticket once again and read carefully the time description written there.

That's two weeks away. If Airi could finish her sentence on time and earn a commensurate part-time salary, it seemed like she could leave.

"I'll do it." However, Airi did not want to promise. His life is not a stability, he often has unexpected things to take care of at any time. Airi did not want to disappoint Akane for not keeping her words.

"Hear you say that's it, I'm happy!"

"We should have fun this time! Let's go and enjoy the youth! My yoke!" Airi was interested in laughing at the sura Akane released.

"By the way, you've always loved theater? I've never heard of that."

Akane shakes. "No. I just watched it yesterday and it just so happened that they were performing in the Northeast District in the near future, so I bought the ticket straight away!"

"Oh? Really true?" Akane is full of surprises. It is so fun to have a free life. Airi smiled, so glad to see Akane.

"Wait a minute."

"Northeast? The Northeast District?" Airi let out a smile upon hearing the awkward thing mentioned by Akane. The theater takes place very far away!

"Yes! Actually, they were domiciled in the Eastern District, but this time it was their stage in the Northeast District! I'm so impatient!"

"Akane, but the Northeast District is very far away!"

"It took me at least two days to get back here by car."

Akane was still smiling, "I know!"

"Because of that..."

Airi's feeling was not good to hear Akane speak half-and-half.

"We're going to take the inter-district bus! Yahoo!" Afterwards, Akane immediately ran into her class without listening to Airi's protests.

"Hey! Akane what do you mean! Wait for me!"

Airi's hand that was trying to grab her hung in the air. Akane has made a decision. He said he would try his best.

Airi lowered her hand, breathing out. Yasudah, it looks like he has to prepare mentally and physically. However, he was secretly happy as well. It will also be the first time Airi has gone on tour with anyone other than her family. What a thing worth waiting for.

"I warned you not to believe it, but now it's going to go together, huh? What a useless loyalty."

Airi heard the familiar voice passing beside her ear. Jizo just walked while talking without looking.

Oh, well done Jizo, make Airi start her school hours by listening to your bullshit again.
