???: (I woke up, and fell back asleep. Why? The curse who’s been bugging me for 2 months won’t shut up.)

 

????: Poke, poke, poke, poke pok-

 

???: (He keeps poking me in the head, trying to wake me up.)

        SHUT UP TAWA!

 

Tawagotonono: What Makeinu? Can you not appreciate how good of a friend I am waking you up every morning?

 

Makeinu: Who said you were my friend? Shitbrain.

    (I named my curse Tawagotonono, it describes him perfectly, a shitbrain.)

    (The downside is that he named me Makeinu, which means loser. It’s worse than    having a sign on your back that says “kick me”.)

    (Tawagotonono gave me two curses, one of them is having the permanent name of “loser”, and everyone forgetting my real name, the other being taking away my passion, cooking.)

               (I have the strange feeling I’m missing something though.)

    Shit! I gotta get ready for school!

 

Makeinu went from outfit to outfit, trying to find something good to wear. Once he did, he quickly ran to the bathroom before stubbing his toe on the counter. He dipped his hair into water, making it look like sheep's wool to a blue strand of seaweed, combed it, got his bags, and ran down the apartment building’s stairs to his bike.

 

Tawagotonono: Big time rush huh?

 

Makeinu: (I’m not gonna respond to that smiley-faced shit, I’m tired of hearing his creaky voice all the time.)

 

Tawagotonono: Y’know, if that bike goes any faster, you’re gonna cr-

 

Makeinu: SHUT UP! I’M TIRED OF YOUR CREAKY VOICE AND YOUR SMILEY FACE! HOW DID YOU GET A FACE SO DAMN UGLY! DID A 5 YEAR OLD DR-

 

Tawagotonono was oblivious to what Makeinu was saying, he was just trying to pay attention to the road.

 

Tawagotonono: Watch your right.

 

Makeinu: -O YOU THINK THAT DUMB VOICE OF-

  (Oh damn.)

 

Makeinu quickly avoided crashing into another biker. But not without the man calling him a blue-headed freak.

 

Makeinu: (Colored hair is the worst, you have an imperfection, you get teased for your hair. I even tried dying my hair black to live up to school expectations, no one liked it, not even me, the school thankfully let me keep my hair.)

    Ah, school’s up ahead!

    I am entering school again after summer break, and I’m gonna start a club! I’m thinking of starting a host club, like in O****n Highschool Host Club! All the girls coming my way will be crazy!

 

Tawagotonono: (What Makeinu doesn’t realize is that I can read his thoughts. After all, I am a part of him.)

          Why don’t you start a cooking club!

 

Tawagotonono started cracking up at his own joke.

 

Makeinu: WHAT? YOU’RE LAUGHING AT THE PASSION YOU TOOK AWAY FROM ME!?

 

Tawagotonono: That’s what’s so funny!

 

Tawagotonono sounded like a dying donkey desperately trying to catch a breath of air. 

 

Makeinu: HOW DID YOU HEAR MY THOUGHTS?

 

Tawagotonono: I didn’t, you said it out loud.

 

Makeinu: (Tawagotonono has cursed me with the ability to make really unappealing food taste amazing, and overly-appealing food taste awful.)

  (My passion has faded, and it was all this clown’s fault.)

 

Tawagotonono: (Damn right kiddo.)

 

Makeinu: We’re here, at the… same, boring old campus.

    (Over the summer, stuff must have changed right?)

    (Well maybe changes were made.)

    (I could have an awesome teacher like in Gr**t T**cher Oni***a!)

    (At the same time… maybe I don’t want a pervert stealing my potential girlfriend.)

    (At least I’ll get to see Saito-sensei, and her nice ass.)

 

Tawagotonono: (All this kid thinks about is some big-assed teacher. Even trying to recreate her in a 3D program to find some way to get her naked. It even disgusts me.)

 

???: Oi Makeinu!

 

Makeinu: Huh?

    Yo! Furiyama!

 

Furiyama: How’s stuff been man?

 

Makeinu: Great, how about you?

 

Furiyama: Been good man.

 

Makeinu: Awesome!

    Well, we should get going to class, or see what changes have been made.

 

Furiyama: I heard we got a new teacher, I hope he’s awesome! Like Oniz-

 

Makeinu: I don’t think you’d want your girlfriend to be taken by your teacher.

 

Furiyama: That’s a good point.

 

Makeinu: Y’know, new students usually come here this time of year, or after winter break.

    You could find a nice girlfriend.

 

Furiyama: Hopefully some hot European chicks came this year!

    Like a Swedish girl!

    Nice and tall, pretty and blon-

 

Makeinu: Don’t get your hopes up too much, it’s probably some regular guys and girls.

 

Furiyama: C’mon man, maybe just a little bit of hope.

    Ah, here’s the board of changes…

 

The two boys kept reading until…

 

Makeinu and Furiyama: WHAT!?

               Saito-sensei got… FIRED!?

 

Student #1: Why would you care?

        You guys only cared about her ass.

 

Makeinu and Furiyama: THAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT HER!

 

Student #1: But it is a shame what happened to her.

 

Makeinu: You know?

 

Student #1: You don’t?

        Reckless driving, and going over the speed limit too.

        She was part of a Bosozoku gang.

 

Makeinu and Furiyama: THAT’S SO BADASS!

 

Student #1: Well now she’s serving 2 months in prison.

 

Makeinu: WHYYYYYY!

    JUST WHEN I NEEDED TO LOOK AT HER NICE ASS!

    IT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME!

    I CAN’T STOP THESE TEARS FROM FLOWING ANYMORE!

 

Student #1: Everyone’s watching you y’know.

 

Makeinu: You! Random boy in red!

    You understand my struggles right?

    Imagine seeing a beautiful woman, with the nicest ass, just taken away!

    It’s so sad.

 

Boy in Red: I’m more into flat women.

 

Makeinu: That’s not an excuse!

    You need some nice ass in your life, right?

 

Boy in Red: I... guess?

 

Makeinu: That’s the spirit!

    Now imagine that perfect woman, taken away from you!

    How would you feel?

 

Boy in Red: Hatsune… Miku… taken away.

        That’s terrible!

 

Makeinu: Exactly!

    Wait…

    Hatsune Miku?

 

Boy in Red: Is there a problem?

 

Makeinu: You prefer a fictional girl over a real one?

 

Boy in Red: I just think… they’re cuter.

 

Makeinu: IS SAITO-SENSEI NOT CUTE?

 

Boy in Red: She… she is.

 

Makeinu: Good.

    Is anyone else here sad that Saito-sensei is gone!

 

…

…

…

 

Makeinu: Guess not.

    C’mon Furiyama, let's just cry alone.

 

Furiyama: Yeah.

 

Makeinu was obviously joking. After reading the full board, he rushed to the principal’s office to approve his club idea.

 

Makeinu: Principal Utagawa!

    I am here to present my club idea!

 

Utagawa: No need to barge in unexpectedly, Makeinu.

 

Makeinu: Heh… sorry about that.

    

Utagawa: So... where’s the idea document?

 

Makeinu: Idea… document?

 

Utagawa: Students usually give me a document with the list of ideas, and if I find the idea suitable for a club, I inform the student.

 

Makeinu: Well Principal Utagawa… Today I'll be giving a verbal presentation!

 

Utagawa: That works too... I suppose.

 

Makeinu: (Here goes.)

    It’s a tragedy that Saito-sensei left the school, now we have no one to make the young boys happy.

    That’s why I’ll be starting a Host Club!

 

Utagawa: A… Host Club?

    Those are for adults, Makeinu.

 

Makeinu: But it worked in the show!

 

Utagawa: A piece of fiction, Makeinu.

 

Makeinu: But, it won't be an inappropriate type!

    It’ll simply be to entertain the fine young ladies at this school.

    By providing them with the needs of a woman!

 

Utagawa: I’m sorry Makeinu, it just can’t work.

 

Makeinu: Principal Utagawa, it’ll be a perfect way for the boys at this school to find a source of love!

    To give them a full makeover, and make them the most attractive!

 

Utagawa: You see, that just can’t work in our school.

    No matter how much you try to push it to be appropriate.

    It won’t work like how you envision it.

    But I have a great club idea for you!

    I’ll guarantee you’ll like it.

 

Makeinu: (WHAT!)

 

Tawagotonono: Heh.

 

Makeinu: (Bastard Tawagotonono shows up out of nowhere.)

 

Tawagotonono: (I’d like to see where this is going.)

 

Utagawa: Here! The Cooking Club!

 

Makeinu: C-cooking… club…?

 

Utagawa: I know you love cooking, and no one’s made the club yet, so here!

 

Tawagotonono: Hysterical! BAHAHAH!

 

Tawagotonono likes to laugh at Makeinu’s pain, all the time.

 

Makeinu: (Bastards, both of them.)

    Well, I’d love that… bu-

 

Utagawa: Great! You can do your club activities in the kitchen!

 

Makeinu: (You’ve gotta be kidding me.)

    Great! I look forward to it!

    (It’s so hard trying to hold in tears.)

 

Makeinu walked out of the principal’s office, with the most disappointed look on his face.

 

Tawagotonono: How sad!

 

Makeinu: Shut up.

 

Furiyama: Yo! Makeinu!

    How’d it go?

 

Makeinu: He…

    Rejected the idea,

    Of the Host Club.

 

Furiyama: WHAAAAT!?

    All my dreams of the hot babes!

    Destroyed!

    What if a Swedish girl does come!

    And there’s no host club for me to comfort her with!

    There’ll be no hot Swedish girlfriend for me!

    These tears… CAN'T BE HELD IN ANY LONGER!

 

Students passing in the hall were confused, or disgusted.

 

Makeinu: He gave me a… cooking club instead.

 

Furiyama: That’s not a bad thing though!

    You’re great at cooking!

 

Makeinu: Well…

    Not so much anymore…

    Something happened…

    And now all the good stuff I cook looks like dog food!

 

Furiyama: …Eh…?

    You… can’t cook anymore?

 

Makeinu: Yeah.

 

Furiyama: Damn.

 

Makeinu: So what, we go to class now?

 

Furiyama: I guess.

    But I don’t feel like going.

 

Makeinu: C’mon man.

    First day after a long break.

    It can’t be that bad.

 

It was that bad, instead of Makeinu having a “girl of his dreams” teacher like Saito-sensei, a mean, still hot, but completely flat teacher. The Boy in Red loved her though. On top of that, piles of homework, from that one teacher alone. Makeinu didn’t go to the cooking club, or any student for that matter. He went back to his bike, disappointed.

 

Makeinu: (Host Club, rejected.)

    (Hot teacher, total bitch.)

    (Relaxing afternoon, nope.)

    (How can this day get any worse!)

 

Furiyama: Yo! Makeinu! Let’s go!

 

Makeinu: Go… where?

 

Furiyama: The arcade!

 

Makeinu: I’d love to, but Furukawa-sensei gave me a piles of homework to do.

 

Furiyama: Really? Furukawa-sensei only gave our class a single paper.

 

Makeinu: ...a... single...paper…?

    YOU’VE GOTTA BE JOKING!

 

Tawagotonono: Guess she has favorites.

 

Makeinu: SHUT UP TAWA! YOU NEVER HELP!

 

Furiyama: Who’s… Tawa?

 

Makeinu: Oh… heh, he’s my imaginary teddy bear that likes to bug me.

    Like a little voice in my head.

 

Tawagotonono: (Imaginary? Teddy Bear? Annoy?)

  (I’m a yellow smiley face ball, wearing a hollow black cloak.)

            (Or is he…)

            (MOCKING ME!)

 

Makeinu: If I ever talk to him, just ignore me OK?

 

Furiyama: S-sure!

 

Tawagotonono: I’M NO TEDDY BEAR OF YOURS MAKEINU!

            TREAT ME WITH THE SAME RESPECT YOU TREAT YOUR FRIENDS WITH!

 

Makeinu: Treat you with respect?

    Do I look like a fool, to treat you with any kind of respect?

    Am I some sort of gag to you?

    You aren’t my friend, nor will you ever be.

 

Furiyama backed away, frightened.

 

Tawagotonono: WHY CAN’T I HAVE RESPECT TOO!

 

Makeinu: YOU RUINED MY LIFE TAWA!

    I CAN’T GIVE YOU PRAISE FOR THAT!

 

Tawagotonono: NOT ONE BIT?

 

Makeinu: NO!

    Heh… sorry about that Furiyama, Tawa just gets a little out of hand.

 

Furiyama: ...yeah…

 

Makeinu: Anyway, gotta go!

  See ya!

 

Furiyama didn’t say a word back, he just stood there, shocked.

 

Tawagotonono: (Reading this guy’s thoughts is like torture for me, I wish it could stop.)

 

Makeinu: Tawagotonono, just stop.

    You are the most annoying thing on this planet.

    Stop your bullshit.

 

Tawagotonono: It’s fun seeing you depressed, it means I did a good job.

 

Makeinu: That… doesn’t help.

    What does that benefit you anyway!

 

Tawagotonono: Satisfaction in my day to day life.

            Living with you is hell for me.

 

Makeinu: Then leave my body.

 

Tawagotonono: But I love torturing you.

            It's the only thing that makes me happy!

 

Makeinu: (The audacity of this clown.)

 

Tawagotonono: Makeinu…

 

Makeinu let out the deepest sigh hearing his voice again.

 

Makeinu: How would you like to torture me now?

 

Tawagotonono: You’re going the wrong way.

 

Makeinu: SHIT!

    WELL I CAN’T TURN NOW OR A CAR WILL HIT ME!

    DO SOMETHING!

 

Tawagotonono: I’d like to see how this turns out.

 

Makeinu: (THIS CLOWN!)

 

Tawagotonono: (Now’s the chance.)

 

Tawagotonono hit the brakes on a downhill, then pushed Makeinu, sending him flying.

 

Makeinu: (So, this is how I die.)

    (Flying high.)

    (Damn, I really should have gone to the arcade with Furiyama.)

    (Now Tawagotonono got the chance to kill me.)

    (At least I’ll be able to see my parents up in the afterlife.)

    (I should really do something to convey that I'm about to die.)

    (I’ll start screaming.)

    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

 

???: Hmm?

        ...screaming?

 

Makeinu: WATCH OUT!

    (If this girl catches me, maybe I won’t die.)

 

???: AHHHH!

 

Makeinu knocked her and her bike over, and landed face first, not on the ground, but on her big, pillowy breasts.

 

Makeinu: (SHIT! I LANDED ON HER CHESTNUTS!)

    YOUR CHESTNUTS! I’M SO SORRY!

 

???: I…

        I’M SO SORRY FOR VIOLATING YOUR SPACE!

        I’LL GET BY BREASTS OFF YOUR FACE!

        PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

 

Makeinu: ...Eh…?

    (Is this girl stupid?)

 

Tawagotonono: (What the hell just happened?)

  (Apparently the girl was invading Makeinu’s space.)

 

???: Do you know where Otobara High School is? I’m a bit late to class.

 

Makeinu: A… bit late?

    SCHOOL JUST ENDED!

    (She really is stupid.)

 

???: But the schedule says it starts at 3:15 PM and ends at 8:45 PM.

 

Makeinu: Oh, then it must be a misprint.

    (Maybe she’s half stupid.)

    (And how does a school get the hours wrong?)

    Right now, after school clubs are going on.

    Just go home and show up tomorrow.

 

???: You forgot to tell me the school hours.

 

Makeinu: My bad.

    We start at 8;45 AM and end at 3:15 PM.

 

???: Thanks.

        Oh.

 

Makeinu: Huh?

 

???: My name is Myoko by the way.

 

Makeinu: Myo… ko.

    (What kind of name is Myoko?)

 

Tawagotonono: So, she didn’t slap you and call you a pervert, what a letdown.

 

Makeinu didn’t respond, and kept staring at Myoko.

 

Myoko: Is something wrong?

 

Makeinu: I’m sorry, I just zoned out.

 

Tawagotonono: C’mon, I did a refere-

 

Makeinu: Shut up.

 

Myoko: What was that for!?

 

Makeinu: No! It wasn’t you.

    There’s this dumb voice in my head.

    Anyway,

    There’s no point in being here anymore.

    You can go home now.

    So, see you I guess.

 

Myoko: See ya then!

 

Makeinu and Myoko both parted ways, going back to their homes. On the way there, Makeinu broke down, thinking about how much work he’s gotta do. Tawagotonono, of course, took the chance to put more weight on his back.
