*Seeing Angle Rock
On Sunday—in this dark blind morning—with the lighted head of Hoshi my— and my family make beautiful pastries and Japanese sweets that we will sell today. My dad forgot to pay the electricity bill, so our house lights went out all night. Fortunately there was Hoshi, he made the room in my house brighter. Because of Hoshi, our family was able to finish our merchandise cake as well as usual.
“I hate Akemi.”
“I hate Akemi.”
“I hate Akemi.”
Hoshi kept saying those words to keep his head burning. I slightly held back my laughter, Hoshi as if he was reciting a spell. My mother and father were not stopped by being amazed to see Hoshi's head that could light up.
Yes, yesterday Hoshi stayed at my house. He asked me to teach him good fighting techniques. I don't know why, but Hoshi insisted on asking me to teach him. As a friend, I am happy to help.
It did not feel the sky was starting to light, the cakes and sweets were finished. We just put it in the store, and the merchandise is ready for sale. My mother and father showed relieved expressions, as did Hoshi who was tired of muttering.
“It's Hoshi, fetch.” My mother gave Hoshi a pack of sweets and cookies that we had made.
Hoshi received with his right hand. “Thank you, aunt.”
“Sama-sama.” Mom smiled.
After getting the cake, Hoshi got up from his seat.
“Rock, I'm home now, yeah. I have important business. Next week I'll stay here again.” Hoshi pamit's.
“Okee.”
“Om and aunty, I'm back.” Hoshi looked at my parents.
“Yaa, greetings to your parents,” said my father.

Although I helped mom's dad make cookies and sweets, they both forbade me to keep the store. In fact, I would love to try it. I want to stay in the store and see my hand-made cakes bought by someone else. But then again, mom and dad banned me. They forbid me because my face looks like a yakuza (Japanese Gangster).
I was born with a very scary face. I guarantee you won't say cute when you see a picture of me as a baby. The midwife who assisted the birth said that I was the son of Satan. The other midwife said I was cursed. Well, that's how it is.
I don't know why my face is this scary, but my mother and father were ordinary people, and there was no yakuza blood flowing to them. My younger brother is also normal, his face is not as creepy as mine. I'm the only one like this. Chicken, why am I different?
Since Junior High, I've been feared by everyone. Nobody wants to be my friend, they want to be my subordinate. I am a good person and love sweets, treated like a thug. Eventually, subconsciously, I began to consider myself a thug.
Not only my face, my tone also resembled that of a thug. I felt like my words were normal, but they thought I was angry. After I thought about it, it turned out that my tone was indeed different from most people. I can't say soft and gentle. My voice tends to be big and can surprise people.
Although my face is very scary, there are some people who are not afraid to see me, they are my mother, father, sister, classmate, and hamster named Fernandez.
Haah, stop. Sleeping in bed on Sundays is not a good idea. I need to get out and get some fresh air.
I got out of bed—breakfast bread and milky— then went out of the house in a casual dress and brought some yen. I don't know where to go, the important thing is I can't stay home.

While on the way, I saw a shop that had just opened. The shop is called Hanazawa Groceries. The new store sells a variety of accessories, it seems to be for men and for women. Until now I have never worn accessories such as bracelets or necklaces, it seems like I want to try them out.
When I opened the shop door, the shopkeeper looked shocked. His face suddenly turned pale. He also looked to the left, as if he was looking for help. He also pressed the phone button, either calling the Police or the FBI. I didn't care, I just went in and looked for the accessories I wanted.
After a few minutes, I found a bracelet that suited me. I picked it up and took it to the front of the cashier.
“Du-two hundred yen!” the cashier said, he looked terrified.
As I poked on the pants pocket, suddenly the cashier guard raised both hands.
“Quiet, I just took the money. I don't have a gun,” I argue.
After paying for my 200 yen bracelet, I left immediately. The shopkeeper looked very relieved after I left the shop, he was like he had just escaped from an angel of death ambush. Hmm... Am I that creepy?
When I was about to cross, I saw grandmothers who had a bit of difficulty crossing because of the speed that was as slow as a snail. I offered my grandmother to help me.
“Nek, I help,” bargain me, trying to look friendly.
When she saw my face, she ran very fast.
*Wab!!
The grandmother ran very fast, probably at the speed of light. Jet ships are nothing.
I kept going for a walk, with no clear direction and purpose. But, taking a walk on a sunny Sunday turned out to be not bad either. I can see sights I don't normally see on a typical day. Maybe next week I will do it again.
My move stopped in a traditional market, here I met Maggiana. He was doing odd jobs as a market guard. Yes, because there are school activities, Maggiana jobs are only scheduled on Saturdays and weeks only.
In the past, I met Maggiana in this market, when we didn't know each other. At that time, I was intending to go shopping, but Maggiana stopped me from going inside. He thought I was going to rob.
At that time, my mood was bad, I forced my way in. After all, her guard was just an ordinary Middle School girl. However, suddenly the girl's body turned into a giant after she took off her glasses. Instantly, I was beaten and battered by him. It was the first time I lost a fight.
When I entered High School, I met Maggiana again, I had a bit of goosebumps looking at her. But, Maggiana looked ordinary, it seemed like she had forgotten me. Naturally, Maggiana had beaten dozens of thugs. He couldn't remember his face one by one. Yes, that was my first meeting with Maggiana.
Maggiana immediately greeted me when she saw me.
“Halo Thugs!” greet Maggiana.
“Halo her boyfriend Kensel,” reply.
Maggiana's face was suddenly red. She must have been shocked because I knew the two of them had been dating.
Maggiana immediately pulled my hand and led me to a deserted place.
“You know where I've been dating Kensel? Know from Kensel, Shino, or from Mas Chips?” Maggiana's face was still red.
“I know myself. I peeked at you two while being shy like a monkey with bananas,” I replied.
“SECRETLY!!! Beware if you tell anyone else, I'll kill you!” threaten Maggiana while holding her glasses.
“Iya, just relax. I'm not the bucket Nana,” I replied casually.
Maggiana's expression was now back to normal.
“What business are you doing to the market?”
“Nothing. I was just walking.”
“Hmm... Since you're already here, come with me. I'll introduce you to all the market people. You won't be able to shop with a creepy face like that.” Maggiana then dragged my hand.
“Why should I get acquainted?”
“Don't you know then no dear? I'm sure, once they get to know you, they won't be scared anymore when they see you.”
“Hmm.. alright. Okay.” answer.
On Sunday morning towards noon, I went around the market with Maggiana. I was introduced to him by the merchants. At first the merchants were very frightened when they saw me, but after Maggiana introduced me, they became more friendly. Mercifully.
Taking a walk on Sunday is very beneficial!
