He quietly stared at it for a while—He didn't care if the laptop was broken, he had many more. What he cared about was the data he had lost. He leaned down and someone opened the door of the library, My ball just came inside! It was Blair Tremblay, she was in her football jersey. She looked at his broken laptop and immediately closed the door but he held on it.
How did you come here so fast?!
So, it was you,
No! Somebody else kicked it—
It was you,
I was only at fifty per cent fault—
He leaned towards her and looked into her eyes, It was you,
Yes... But it was just an accident! It's not like I wanted to break your belongings!
Akagi narrowed his eyes and she laughed nervously, Blair Tremblay He recalled her name.
You remember my name? That makes things easier—
I always knew that there are people who have their brain in their knees, but today's the first time I'm seeing one in real life, Akagi said.
You see—This is why I hate you.
Likewise.
Well, fuck you!
Do that later, first things first—My money.
What?
I need to get my computer fixed.
Can we forget about this?
Of course. Be my slave.
What the fuck?
Or pay me.
Are you some underground mafia or shit?
I might have connections to some secret societies.
You don't strike me as a professional criminal.
Well, that's what makes me so good at it.
She clicked her tongue, I suppose you don't have money. So, pay using your body. Akagi said.
What? She covered her breast, I thought you were at least a nice person otherwise.
Bitch, I've got no personality, He chuckled.
You do realise that you just insulted yourself.
Yeah, I tend to do that because you'd obviously cry if I insult you.
Shut up!
So, what have you thought—How will you pay?
I'm broke,
I know that,
I'll pay from my body, She blushed.
Well and good, come to my place in the evening at six. Akagi picked up the pieces of the laptop and threw them in the dustbin. Blair reached his house at six but he wasn't there. He came at eight. She waited for him outside his door for two hours in the cold.
You must be pretty dedicated to promises. He opened the door.
Yes, I am! You are late!
They say good things take time, They walked inside his room and she turned red, Now? She asked.
Oh yeah, He gave her a laptop and a bundle of pages, Write all of this down. I want it in softcopy.
What?!
You said you'll pay from your body. I needed a helper anyways. What did you come here for?
I thought!
What?
Nevermind! She turned back and looked at the bundle of papers.
Till when do you want it?
Morning.
What?! That's impossible!
That's what the author's do. Make the impossible possible. Now get started.
She typed in the manuscript for two hours and began to enjoy the plot. At midnight, Akagi passed a cup to her, Take a five-minute breather,
Oh, thank you, She drank it and coughed, This isn't coffee!
It's boiled water.
The hell? Who drinks this?
Me,
Why? Boiled water is tasteless.
It's good for your gut and keeps you warm, He told her.
Well, whatever. I still prefer coffee, She made herself some coffee. She sat on the chair while he sat on his bed.
You're so lucky, Akagi. You choose what you become.
You don't?
I'm just here because my parents want me to be here. I don't like studying, I like football. I like running free on the grass and shouting with all the air I have in my lungs. I don't like sitting inside four walls and looking into books,
Why don't you tell them about it?
They wouldn't like that. They have invested a lot on me. I don't have the courage to speak against them, She was just there because her parents wanted her to study it, without giving her any other choice. She hated Akagi because he had already become someone that she wanted to become. Free.
Fight, Blair. Akagi said, You're doing it for yourself. Don't give up without a fight,
But,
I had to fight too.
Your parents didn't want you to write?
I don't have parents.
