The way to North High was always a tiring prospect for me. I mean, sure, it was a good way for me to stay fit. That accursed hill pretty much took care of any problems I could ever develop when it came to my weight, but really,t hat wasn't something to be happy about. On that day, I was like always breathing heavily and sweating like I had gone through a marathon.
I sighed and stopped halfway on my way up that accursed hill. It was the same every little day. The only People I knew who could move up here without problems were Haruhi and maybe Nagato. And the first would certainly deserve to be brought down from her position sometime.
I sighed to myself, resigning to the fate of continuing to walk and be tired every day. Still, I couldn't be silent for once. "I wish Haruhi would use her abilities to make this place a bit more flat, really why cannot she be a bit more helpful?" My face rose up a bit while I began to walk again.
"Oh, what are you talking about young man?" I blinked and looked to my left, a woman was walking beside me. She looked around 30, maybe a bit younger and her brown hair was in a long ponytail. Her eyes held a certain amount of amusement and there was a spark of something that I couldn't identify. It was a bit surprising that I hadn't noticed her at all. Normally, I wasn't that bad at observing my surrounding.
"Ah, well..." I held on for a moment and considered a good way to explain the situation to the older woman without looking like I was crazy. "You see, I have a friend in school, she has really much energy and she just seems to be capable of doing anything and getting away with it. The world seems to bend to her wishes for lack of a better term." Yes that was good, nobody would get the real idea from these words. At least, I hoped so. "That isn't really all that bad, but she seems to always bring trouble to the people around her. She isn't a bad person, don't misunderstand me, but she lacks common sense and I feel sometimes like she is just a step way from ruining the world." Okay, that was maybe a bit to near to home, better be more careful on what to say.
The woman looked thoughtful, though there was something in her face that kind of made me nervous. Still, her smile was warm and friendly and she looked at me with that same look. "Well, that does sound like a troublesome situation, isn't there anyone that helps you out under such circumstances." I frowned, remembering the many situations that I had gotten help from various People. Miss Asahina was one of them, both the young one and the elder one. Then there was of course Yuki, she had saved my life a number of times by now and I wouldn't give up her friendship for any money in the world. And although his smile still creeped me out and he was often nearly as much trouble as Haruhi, Koizumi had been a support, good friend and help at many times.
"Yes." I said, and I meant it. "There are a couple good friends that have helped me out when she brought out the trouble." I couldn't help the smile appearing on my face when I turned to the woman.
"I... I see, then you probably have things under cotnrol." Yes, I thought so at least, wait was she blushing? No, couldn't be, that was probably only my teenager imagination. I should really try to get a girlfriend sometime if meeting a random woman could cause such delusions.
"Still, it is a bit unfair, don't you think?"
He, what do you mean by that strange lady that listens to other people's problems?
"Well, you know that this one friend somehow has the power and influence to bring trouble and do whatever she wants. I mean, if you could chose someone instead of her having that kind of power, who would you want to have it?"
Well, this is certainly an interesting question miss. I mean, there were a number of People I would give that power, on the other Hand there were people I would never give that kind of power. I am serious, someone like Taniguchi would turn the world into a big Otaku Fantasy. Scantily clad catgirls and Tsundere's everywhere and Fanservice as far as the eye can see... okay, maybe that wouldn't be THAT bad, still, too chaotic for my taste. Probably
There were others though, that could maybe use that power for the better. Maybe even myself? Even if we weren't talking about the same thing, it was still an interesting question.
"Well, I think..."
