I was walking with Shiraishi and Moriko through the busy streets near the downtown crossing. The sound of cars honking and people chattering was all around us. Shiraishi and Moriko seed to be quite familiar with the area as they were cruising through the crowd with no second thoughts.
I was following them without saying a single word, as this whole thing was rather new to .
We reached the building, as it appeared to be one of those karaoke parlours. It wasn't very crowded mainly because it was rush hour and people were busy with other things. Shiraishi and Moriko walked inside the building casually and followed them in.
They were quite smart with these things.
We were walking up the staircase as I could see a few staff mbers carrying plates full of food in their hand to certain rooms. It was rather silent in the hallway, and I was feeling a bit nervous.
We ca to a stop near a room which had number 206 engraved on a piece of tal. Moriko grabbed the doorknob and turned it. As we walked in, I heard the noise of the other students greeting them.
Apparently we were a bit late as they were already playing music and ordered food. There were 9 people in the room, including , but I didn't know any of them. Assuming their uniforms, they were all from different schools.
We took a seat and Shiraishi sat next to . It appeared she was familiar with one of the dudes, as she introduced to him as her boyfriend. He seed like a rather chill person.
His na was Sekiguchi, as for the first na I didn't bother to ask.
We were talking for a bit, as I slowly drifted myself out of their conversation because I was feeling out of place. Without saying anything, my eyes wandered around the room. I could see the music video of the song playing on the screen.
It was a typical karaoke room.
One of them took out a box of brownies from his bag and kept it on the table. The girl sitting next to him instantly took out a few and started eating them. He passed the brownies to our side and gestured for us to take so.
I loved brownies.
Shiraishi smiled at him as a gesture to thank him and took three pieces out. She glanced at but I was feeling a bit shy to take it from the box. I wasn't used to such active social events.
Shiraishi was chuckling at , as she could tell I was feeling awkward. I hesitantly took a brownie from the box and stared at it for a few monts. They looked delicious in the least, but there was sothing off about it.
Maybe I was being paranoid.
I kept fiddling around with that brownie for quite a while before I noticed Shiraishi glaring at . With an awkward smile, I slowly took a bite from it and asked, "Shiraishi… is sothing weird with these brownies?"
"I don't know… they taste like normal ones. Why?" She replied in a confused look. I looked at her hands and she was already done with all the three. Raising my eyebrows, I asked, "You sure?"
She nodded at my question and continued talking with the other students who were sitting in front of . I took another bite and waited as the flavour lted in my mouth. I mumbled, "It's tasty, I wish I had so chocy milk with this."
"You sure love chocolate milk, don't you?" Shiraishi replied. I was a bit confused, but then I realised that I thought it out loud. I was having a sudden urge to laugh, but there wasn't anything funny. I narrowed my eyes at Shiraishi and said in a loud tone, "Yes, I do!"
"Are you good?" She asked in a concerned voice and in that instant I felt a strange feeling in my head. Almost as if my vestibular system was malfunctioning.
I stared at Shiraishi for a while without saying anything and she had a confused look on her face, too. I leaned back in the seat and closed my eyes for a bit. It felt like my senses were more active than usual.
The noise of everyone talking around was fading away slowly. It felt like everyone was sitting really far from . The sound of soothing music felt more prominent than before.
I suddenly felt a soft touch on my forearm, which made startled. I got back into my senses and the noise around seed as close as it was a few monts ago. Opening my eyes in a rush, I noticed that Shiraishi was holding my forearm with a concerned look in her eyes.
I forgot about her questions.
Giving her a slight smile, I kept the rest of the brownie on a plate and replied to her, "Of course I am!"
Sothing was definitely wrong with those brownies.
Looking at , it appeared that Shiraishi was relieved since she continued talking with her friends. Everyone was busy talking with each other, while a couple among us were making out in front of everyone.
I don't know what they were trying to establish by doing that.
The girl sitting across from was busy talking with the guy next to him while laughing unusually loud. The guy next to her wasn't reacting much, as he was sitting with a straight face while holding his glass of drink.
Shiraishi was busy talking with a boy from another school. Looking at their interaction, I could safely assu that it wasn't the first ti she was talking with him. They appeared quite familiar with each other.
I thought about the slight possibility that she might cheat on with that dude.
Knowing how she was, I could disregard that probability.
I slowly sipped my juice while my eyes shifted around. I was observing the whole room because I had nothing better to do. I sucked at talking in such a large group of people, on top of that, I couldn't vibe with any of them.
Shiraishi was sitting next to , and beside her was Moriko, who appeared to be drinking her juice. What caught my eyes were untouched brownies lying on the plate in front of her. Seems like she didn't eat that at all.
A tall guy from the sa school as Sekiguchi was sitting in front of her and it appeared that they were talking among themselves. He was quite a good-looking guy, but anyone could tell that he was a douchebag.
Maybe I shouldn't have judged him by his appearance like that.
I noticed the boy who bought the brownies sitting quietly while scrolling through his mobile. Another boy sitting next to him was making a weird expression while staring at the brownies in his hand. Narrowing his eyes, he asked hesitantly, "Dude… is this hash browns?"
"Yeah." The dude next to him nodded instantly, and most of us stopped for a mont and stared at him in complete disbelief. There was an awkward silence in the room as he stared back at with a confused look.
I took drugs.
My sister will kill if she gets to know about this.
