Countdown, SemiShira

6҉

15th of April

After we went home, I considered whether to text Shirabu or not. I decided to text him. 

Hey Shiraboo, I had fun today as well

You read my message, why didn't you reply?

Do I have to?

Yes you do

If you say so

Yeah, I say so. I like conversation✨

okay

So how are you doing?

He didn't reply anymore. But he didn't read the message either so that's somehow good. I really wanted to have a conversation with him but I don't think he wanted to. Maybe he had something better to do. He'll reply later, I'm sure 

21st of April 

I'm doing good, how abt you?

I'm fine but why didn't you reply earlier?

I forgot

Sure

After a while of him not responding, I decided to continue the conversation. Maybe we would get to know each other. I really liked him. Platonic, of course. 

Anyway, how was your day?

Good

That's good, I assume. What did you do?

I went to school, did my homework and read 

I wouldn't have taken you for a person to read

I had to, school

Ah, okay. That makes way more sense. What book is it? 

Romeo and Juliet

We've read that as well

No shit Sherlock. We go to the same school

Right. And how is it

I don't like the book

Why?

It's just stupid and boring 

Are you sure that you read it?

Yeah. A boy meets a girl. They fall in love. Their families hate each other's guts. They marry, illegal. He kills her cousin. He needs to leave. Because she doesn't want to marry this prince, she fakes her death. He somehow gets the note that she died but not that it's not real. He kills himself at her grave thingy and after she wakes up, she does the same. 

Tell me, how isn't that stupid and boring?

No. That's why it's cool! They die because they love each other and can't live without each other

Sure. This is literally the reason why it's stupid! Who kills themself just because someone they loved died. Just find another. And that their families just give up the hatred is so surreal. And this Lorenzo. Don't even get me started on him.

I see that you have a very fixed opinion about that. But maybe that's just because you've never been in love. Maybe, if you once fall in love, you know why someone would kill themselves because the love of their life died.

Never

If you say so

We continued chatting for a while. It was mostly him getting upset about Romeo and Juliet. It was nice seeing him talk bout something that interested him.
