Dating when you're 13 #1

It's a sunny day at a middle school in Akihabara as the teacher asks a math question which the whole class struggled to answer, however "Keti" stood up and answered correctly, she explained how she got it then sat down quietly as the teacher moves on to the next question, her best friend "Fey" who sits next to her was so impressed.

Fey: you're so impressive, you can answer any question that everyone struggles to find.

Keti: oh, don't start up with that, it's easy to find the right answer, everyone can do that.

Fey: no, really, like how did you get so smart in the first place?

Keti: it's so simple, just open a book…then always be prepared for that…though I don't feel like answering the rest of the question.

Fey: why is that?

Keti: because I've been answering those questions like 100 times now.

Teacher: "Fey", could you please stand up and answer this question?

Fey: huh? (I think we spoke too soon).

Meanwhile in the world between worlds "Wreck Veganson" is chasing the pale "Wreck" across the galaxies, pale "Wreck" enters the galaxy where earth is so he could buy much time to plan an escape route.

During the chemistry class the teacher draws a formula structure and explains what it is, as he asks if any student has a question "Keti" raised her hand questioning the formula structure that some molecules don't go with the other, he looks at it and sees that he made a mistake in drawing the formula and corrected it.

Keti: so, what are you going to do after school?

Fey: probably study for Monday's exam…and play a little bit of video games.

Keti: yeah, I see…I'm just gonna head home and avoid everything.

Fey: [surprised] you want to avoid everything? Aren't you going to look-I don't know-for pretty boys? They say boys like smart girls.

Keti: [giggle] I'm gonna avoid that either, I've got plenty of time to think about what I wanna do than to meet up with a boy.

Fey: well then, it didn't have to come to this but…I challenge you to date.

Keti: whoa, whoa, whoa, I have not come to tell you that I agree with that, you can't expect a 13-year-old to date.

Fey: 4000 yen.

Keti: an auction? Who's gonna bid on that?

Fey: 8000.

Keti: you need to stop doing that.

Fey: date or we will never be friends.

Keti: not fair.

Pale "Wreck" has found a way to lose him, running to earth he opened a hyperspace gate and jumped inside, soon as the 2 of them are inside he fooled "Wreck" kicking him to the corners as it shatters "Wreck's" ear drums and launching him to earth and losing track of pale "Wreck", "Wreck" goes super shell mode to avoid damaging his organs, hitting a building then landing in a dumpster in the alley, a guy named "Seth" entered the alley meeting him, "Seth" tried talking to him but he doesn't seem to hear a single word.

Seth: [surprised] oh no, your ears are bleeding, we need to get you a doctor.

He grabbed his hand wanting to take him to a hospital, 2 hunters appeared right before him stopping him.

hunter 1: this alley is off limit and you know that, right?

Seth: yeah, sorry, just seen a kid come out of that dumpster, I think his ear drums were broken.

Hunter1: what kid are you talking about?

As "Seth" turns around "Wreck" was already gone.

Hunter 2: are you hallucinating or what? Cause it doesn't seem a kid is with you.

Seth: he was right here just a moment ago, I'm sure of it.

Hunter 1: [sigh] just step aside so we can deal with this alley, why don't you just head home already?

Suddenly there are demons appearing in that alley.

it is time for everyone to go home, "Fey" walks withs "Keti"

Fey: have you found one yet?

Keti: just give me one day then I'll talk, it's not easy to look for some boy that matches me.

Fey: what about "Yukine"? he is smart like you.

Keti: he can't be compared to my level, way below me.

Fey: "Haiko"?

"Keti's" older brother was standing next to the gate waiting for his sister.

Keti: oh, looks like we're gonna have to text each other from here on, I won't be seeing you until Monday.

Fey: just tell me.

Peri: "Keti", let's go.

"Keti" heads home with "Peri", enter the house, take off shoes then headed to her room doing nothing but lie down on her bed.

Keti: (what situation have I gotten myself into? Find a boy to date? That would take a while, I mean…who would wanna date a 13-year-old like me)?

Mother: "Keti", can you prepare dinner? I have a meeting with the manager.

Keti: yes mom, no prob, take your time.

She heads down stairs and prepare dinner, but what she prepares is what high-class chefs would make, her brother would sit down and eat, enjoying the flavor and aroma that she makes every day.

Peri: you know, you're gonna get for yourself a fine husband in the future if you keep this up.

Keti: shut up, I'm 13, and aren't you that protective when it comes to a strange boy approaching me?

Peri: C'mon, I'm doing a fine job, and besides all of the boys you've ever met just turned them down like they were nothing.

Keti: too young, too early, try again next time…you know what, I'll just gonna take a little walk outside.

Peri: you haven't even touched your plate yet.

Keti: see for yourself, I'll just be heading to the playground, for at least a short while.

As she leaves her plate was already been used before he could even see it, she walks to the playground and it wasn't that crowded, just some few boys and girls younger than her messing around, she just went to take a little swing with a dull face as if she is not actually enjoying it.

Keti: how annoying, I'm 13 and I should go on a date, I'm not saying that it's wrong, it's just that it is too early for anything.

Random kid: who are you talking to?

Keti: augh forget it, I have better things to do right now.

She exits the playground and heads further from home, trying to refresh her mind was kind of difficult for her because of some dating thoughts at her age, as she turns her head to the right she sees "Wreck" drawing the "Egress" gate trying to leave earth, she was so confused that she possibly knows the drawing, he felt her presence when she looked at him and just stopped drawing, so nervous that she shouldn't watch him activate the gate.

Wreck: [nervous] (what now? She just caught me drawing this).

Keti: (somehow this drawing looks kinda familiar to me).

Wreck: (oh, I know, I should just tell her that she should ignore these kind of things) [turn around, inhale] …la alayki min ruyati hatha al rasma, innahu faqat fen lil mutaa.

Keti: [surprised] (what the hell? He's talking to me? In Arabic?)

Wreck: lihatha, alayki an tansi aan ma raayteeh-.

Keti: fal tatakallem bil yabani, lousamaht.

Wreck: oh, hasanan … as I was saying-.

Keti: [angry] I know what you said, and besides this is Japan and not some Arab peninsula you're in, you've never seen the map of the earth or what?

Wreck: [nervous] forgive me, I had no time to think about where I am right now.

Keti: so why did you assume I was Arabic?

Wreck: [point out] there is a guy wearing a dishdasha right over there.

There they see an Omani wearing dishdasha and glasses eating a "Nutelcola" crêpe just looking at them for one sec then goes like 'ah forget this, I'm enjoying my crêpe'.

Keti: you're so hopeless, you've only seen one Omani then go 'oh maybe they all speak Arabic'? you've never taken a guess what language is written all around the city?

Wreck: oh…this is embarrassing, I should be ashamed of myself for such an act.

Keti: …that drawing looks familiar, can you tell me about it?

Wreck: I'm sorry to tell you this but, this is a classified information, so I'm not going to share it to a random person.

Keti: (classified…as in there is something he knows that is beyond my knowledge, but wait…if I keep him, he might tell me something, no no no no no, snap out of it, "Keti" … but he knows something that I don't) … tell you what I'm going to date you, and I'm not going to take a no for an answer.

Wreck: but where are we meeting?

Keti: Right here at 6, no, 7, I don't care if you don't have money to buy something for me, just one single date … (the worst part is that I have to tell "Fey" about this, good job trying to ruin me).

She runs back home, "Wreck" looks at the gate for a few seconds then decides not to leave, collecting all the left-out chalks and keep it with him.

Wreck: (I did actually lose tracks of the pale me, now I lost tracks of everything…what situation have I gotten myself into? I have dated someone before, it's no big deal, that is when I was 7…what would "Sheiva" say about this)?

He shifts his clothes and went to get ready for today, meanwhile at the demon hunter association they detect a strong signal of a gateway to the underworld appearing in a certain location, they sent the 2 hunters from before, "Aika" and "Mirune" to that location in which case they have to eliminate any demon that comes out, as soon as they arrive, they waited for anything to come out, a few hours have passed and still nothing came out.

Mirune: maybe they quit on us for coming here?

Aika: I doubt that…or maybe we were too late for anything to come out, [contact] the demons are on the loose the moment we've arrived, I repeat the demons are on the loose.

"Keti" is texting "Fey" and she's quite embarrassed on what she did.

Keti: [texting] got myself a date, happy now?

Fey: [texting] really?! Thought you might give up.

Keti: [texting] you owe me one, the bills on you.

Fey: [texting] I'll buy you some wonderful snacks and cakes.

Keti: [sigh] this is a hassle…that drawing…I think I've seen it somewhere…never mind I'll ask him when he has the chance to tell me.

Peri: and who is he? are you with someone?

Keti: [yell] get out, that is a bad habit of you, snooping around my privacy.

Peri: okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.

Keti: [yell] I doubt that.

"Wreck" goes around the city getting ready for the date.

Wreck: It has been like 5 years since I stepped foot on earth, well there was a short while, but I don't know who actually runs this country, with that I don't know what the money looks like, oh I know, how about I pull out hundred bucks and go for some money exchange.

he pulls out 100 bucks from a dumpster like doing a magic trick then exchanges it to 11.5 thousand yen.

Wreck: it worked, I can't believe they would actually accept an Abraham Lincoln dollar, it was most likely the oldest type of money.

Suddenly there are 2 guys searching the dumpster, wanting to know where he got the money from, he returns back to that wall where he drew the "Egress gate" and waited there until morning.

A higher demon called "Samael" appeared on the roofs hoping to find a strong signal of a certain gene, suddenly looking at "Wreck" made him look back at him, vanishing before "Wreck" gets to notice him.

Wreck: (have I been noticed again)? … nah, maybe it's just my imagination.

"Samael" finally gets a signal as he watches "Keti" approaching "Wreck".

Samael: looks like I found what I came here to retrieve.
