Bunking classes is hard

I grabbed my bike and pedaled as fast as I could. After waking up late because of the damn thriller dream of mine, which I hoped to be of the naughty type; I got pretty late, and even had to skip my breakfast.

Gladly the school hasn't been closed yet, so I got there in the nick of time, barely able to stand because of my things being numb due to constant pedaling.

It was already summer, and the sun was quite hot, making me drenched in my sweat. I checked my shirt, which now was wet and stinky. 'You motherfucking sun, couldn't you just not pop out.' I cursed at the sun and went inside with a depressed look all over my face. 'I don't want to meet Miyavi like this. She will be giving me the present and if she comes near me at this time; I would die out of awkwardness and embarrassment.

Luckily I just knew what to do. I went to the infirmary, after washing my face and acted like if I had a fever. For some unknown reasons my temperature is a bit hotter than the rest, and after coming from the scorching heat I was like a frying pan.

Our nurse, Yumiko Tamakasi, is a very kind-hearted person, and I had no track records of banking the class, made her least suspicious about my little act.

"Abhi, I am leaving the infirmary for a while. Do you need anything? Shall I call your parents?" She asked me with a slight worry in her tone.

I feel bad for cheating Miss. Yumiko, but I don't regret it. It's still better than Mivayi seeing me in this condition.

"No, Ma'am I don't need anything. I think I will be fine after taking some rest." I replied in a low pitched heavy voice. I am pretty good at cheating, I should compliment myself.

She smiled back and left the room, "Return back to the class when you feel fine. You shouldn't slack off even if you are the topper."

I gave her an awkward smile and sighed a breath of relief, watching her leave. "What's the point in being class when I can't even see her?"

Actually, since childhood, I had a pretty unique habit of reading books of higher classes than mine, even if I didn't understand a shit out of it. This made my concept a bit clearer than others. I had the half-knowledge which is pretty dangerous but that applies only when you try to use it. I tend to skip the lessons and then take notes from Miyavi, a win-win situation for me.

I kept watching the clock, it was 12 pm now. How long have I been lying here? Two hours, no a bit more than that. My body feels stiff, as I twist my back making a crackling sound. Damn, it's so satisfying.

Not knowing what to do next I kept counting seconds; bunking classes are actually a lot harder than it seems to me. Respect for my fellow bunkers is at the top.

It was around 1 pm and Miss. Yumiko was back. Finally, a moment of relief for me.

"Ma'am, can I go back home?" I asked in a slightly better tone than before. 

"Are you sure that you want to go back? Should I call your parents?" She asked.

I flinched for a moment before holding myself, "I shouldn't make them worry. My home is near, I can go alone." My house is in a legit 5 km radius, so I am one of the few students who live nearby. Knowing my house is nearby, she allowed me to leave. 

Huff. I sighed a breath of relief as I reached my bike and looked up, "Fucking sun." The sun was hiding behind the clouds. 

I hopped on it and slowly rode all the way to my house, glancing in between and cursing humanity. 

I rang the bell, trying to come up with some sort of excuse. My mother is a housewife and can be way too serious sometimes.

She opened the door, "What happened? Are you okay? Did something happen in school?" She bombarded me with her questions.

"I am fine, I just had a little fever." I took her hand and kept on the forehead. "See, no big deal."

She sighed a breath of relief, "Maybe because it was scorching hot in the morning. I am making lunch, so call me if you need anything."

I nodded and went to my room to grab a shower; it was relaxing. I loaded up my computer and downloaded the game Excel gave me. According to him, it was an Eroge, so I was wearing my headphones just as a precaution as one time, I played porn on speaker but luckily no one heard it. 

The theme music loaded, it was good just like any theme song.

Instead of clicking on the new game, I clicked on the load game button. I don't know the reason, maybe out of curiosity but yeah, I just did it.

The whole screen blackened and the game crashed. I took a deep breath and rebooted the game. Which now doesn't want to be opened.

Maybe this game is already crap, after all, Excel gave it to me. Did he just give it to me knowingly?

That mudafucka is a hell of a prankster, with a huge dump of ideas to prank people with. I sighed as I shut down the computer and took my phone. 

I watched some random YouTube cat videos until my mother called me for the lunch. After having it, I decided to dig into the game. As a software engineering student, I couldn't let this go. The game was legit and had good reviews on the internet, so I booted up my computer once more and went to its directory.
