In search of the first job

Uhhh ... it's morning. I looked at the phone and saw no message from Hanna. I miss her.

Well ... I think I'm going to her house today.

* Cell Phone Vibrating *

Uh ... It looks like my cell phone is ringing ... But who could it be?

Now, I do not recognize this number. I think it's good for me to answer!

-Hello!

-Good morning! Is this number by Mr Bakugou Katasiki? -Asked a voice that I didn't recognize whose it is.

-Yes, he's the one talking! -I replied.

-Oh, I'm glad I found your contact on Hanna's calendar. - Answered the voice.

Hanna? So is it an acquaintance of hers or a relative?

-Sorry for the question, but are you anything from Hanna?

-Are you not recognizing my voice? - Complained.

-I'm sorry but I don't remember having talked to you before. -I replied a little suspiciously.

-I am the one who brought the person you like the most to the world. -Answered.

The person I like the most? But who could it be ...

(Baki is so slow that it took him a few seconds to figure out who was on the phone)

-Êeh ... Are you Hanna's mother ?! -I asked in a tone of surprise.

-That! Finally realized! You are very slow, huh ...

Why does everyone say that?

-And why would you call me so suddenly? Did something happen to Hanna? -I asked.

-No ... Nothing happened to my daughter. -Answered.

-So ... What is the reason for this call?

-Well ... You know that next week is Hanna's birthday, right ?!

-What is??! Is it Hanna's birthday ?! -I exclaimed.

-Eh ... So you mean you didn't even know that? What kind of boyfriend are you, boy ?!

Why is she fighting with me? The Hanna who never told me when she was having her birthday.

-Êêh ... Actually, Hanna never told me her birthday and I never remembered to ask, hehe ... (Baki is an idiot)

-Argh ... Leaving your slowness aside, know that I'm planning to throw a surprise party for Hanna here at home and as I don't know much about her friendships I would like you to invite them for me ... Could it be?

A surprise party? Does she want me to invite Hanna's friends?

-Ok ... You can leave it to me! -I replied.

-Ah ... Just one more thing! Don't forget to bring a beautiful gift for my daughter!

-A gift? -I asked.

-Yes, this one! You weren't planning on coming to your girlfriend's birthday surprise party without a gift, were you?

-Oh ... well ... it's just that I don't know what to buy for Hanna and yet I don't have any money at the moment and I don't like to depend on my mother. -I replied while I was all embarrassed, almost not knowing what to say.

-Get a job!

-Hêh?

-Get a job! - Said Ms. Akamatsu.

-A job?

-Yes. Since you don't have the money to buy a decent gift for my daughter, then get at least one job, even if it's part-time and for just a week. Get just enough to give my daughter something special.

Hêh! I don't even have a job yet and I'm already being pressured to buy a special gift for my girlfriend?

"Baki has just realized that dating is not just about exchanging messages and taking a girlfriend home"

-All right! I promise you that I'll get a job and give your daughter something worthy. -I replied with conviction.

I heard a light laugh on the phone.

-Okay, so ... I'm counting on you, "Baki".

After a while talking to Hanna's mom, I decided to go downstairs for coffee.

Ohayana and my mom were downstairs in the kitchen.

-Good Morning! -I complied.

-Good morning, Bakugou! -My mother replied.

-Why did you come down just now? -She asked.

-So ... I was on an important call. -I replied.

-Uhm ... I get it. Important, right ?!

(What will my mom be thinking)

-Oh Mother!

-Hi son. You can talk!

-I want to get a job! - I said confident.

* Coffee gushing through the air *

-What?!! -Ohayana said. -My idiot brother wants to get a job? !! But how?

(Why this surprise)

-Oh, so you mean you want to work, Bakugou? -My mother asked.

-Yes! -I replied. -I want to start earning my own money!

-I understood. But why is this so suddenly? You have never been interested in this before.

(She's right)

-Well ... I have some plans. There are some things that I intend to do with that money.

-Uhm ... I got it. You want to spend it with your Girlfriend, right ?!

-You want to take her somewhere romantic and spend the night alone with her, right ?!

(Baki was embarrassed)

-P'p'ara with that, mother! That's not what you're thinking!

(Flushed face)

-Ahahah (Laughter) These young people today are so cute but also so naive.

(What did she mean by that?)

-Oh, to laugh! I'm serious!

(Baki is indignant)

-OK sorry! -My mother replied with a small smile on her face.

-But, what do you intend to work with? Do you know where to go? -He asked.

-Eh?

Man, to tell you the truth I never looked for a job before so I have no idea where to go! If I tell Hanna's mom that I didn't get a job because I don't know where to look for sure, she'll never let me approach her daughter again!

(Baki is in a conflict with himself)

-Yeah ... I meant to go out asking after the high school, hêh ... (Forced smile in embarrassment)

-Nothing like that! -My mother replied. -My son won't walk around looking for a job!

-But, mother ... -Don't worry - she said while interrupting me. -I already know where you can get a job.

-Eh ?! Seriously? -I asked in surprise.

-Yes! A friend of mine was in need of help at an ice cream parlor, if you want I can call him to find out if they are still in need of someone.

Dude, my mom is amazing!

-Yes! You can call! - He replied enthusiastically.

* Dialing on cell phone *

"Ice Cream Parlor"

Phone ringing: Hello, this is from the Satô ice cream parlor. How can I help you?

-Well, don't you recognize my voice? -My mother said in an indignant tone.

-Ah ... Mrs. Katasiki! What a surprise you are calling me! -The guy from the ice cream shop answered.

-Uhmhn ... Really, it's been a long time. -My mother replied.

-And how's life? -Asked the man.

-It's all great! -My mother replied. -Sorry if I'm being a little quick, but I heard that you need people to work there, right?

-There is? Ah, yes ... It's true! As the movement has increased a lot, so only we are not able to cope.

-Wait! Do you need a job ?! -Dude asked.

-That it! It's not for me, it's for my son. He's wanting to take his girlfriend out for a night alone.

-Mom, don't keep saying these things! -I rebuked ashamed.

-I understood. -The man replied. -Tell him to come today after he leaves school that we will settle terms with him.

-Thank you! You can be sure that he will go there with you. -My mother replied.

See, Baki ?! I got your first job! -All happy!

I thank my mom for doing this, but she didn't need all that.

Ah ... Let me go to school and then I have to go there.

-I'm leaving! Goodbye...

Damn it! My mother is really an incredible person but at the same time a head of wind. How could she say that to my future boss ?!

On second thought ... I've never been to a job interview before ... How am I supposed to act ?!

(The day is still starting and Baki is already worrying about something well in advance)

* Fuuuh *

(Taking a deep breath)

Calm down, Baki! The day is still in the beginning, I have a lot of time to think about how to act and not to mention that this is only after school.

I need to worry about not being late.

I tightened my steps to get to the station faster, when suddenly:

* Poff *

(Beat / bump)

Ouch, ouch, ouch! I think I hit something!

Eh? A child?

It seems that I ended up bumping into a high school girl, with long, curly hair, a dark blue color.

-D'Sorry! It's just that I'm in a hurry to choose- Hey, pay attention wherever you are, you bastard! -The girl interrupted, and apparently she has a very dirty mouth for her age.

-Hey, I already apologized! -I replied.

-Okay, okay! I already listen. Now help me get up right away! Or are you not a gentleman enough to do that?

(For some reason this girl reminds me of Ohayana)

-It went badly! I'm a little rushed to school, so ... -Ah ... I don't want to know about you! I'm also in a hurry, so bye ...

(I was totally ignored)

Anyway ... After all the confusion with the girl, I finally managed to get to the station and take the train to school.

-Aah! Aah! Aah! (Panting)

Miku was in front of the school, right at the entrance.

Wow, Baki! You look awful! What happened? -He asked.

-Aah! (Panting) I left the house a little early today (Aah) and then I ran into a strange girl with a dirty mouth (Aah) and then I ran to the station so I wouldn't miss the train and I came as fast as I could up here. -I replied almost breathlessly.

-Pff! (Laughter contained) Your day started very hectic today, right ?! -Miku said in a tone of irony.

-Ahn ... Yes, yes ... -I replied.

-I think it's good for us to hurry up to the classroom, I don't want to get scolded and have to stay after class. I have an appointment. -She said it out loud.

-Yeah, I don't want to stay after au- Êh either? You have an appointment? -Miku asked.

-Yes! -I replied. -I have a job interview later, after school.

-Oh, you want to become an adult already? -Miku asked in a tone of irony.

-Êeh ...? No, that’s not it! You know, today Miss. Akamatsu called me saying that he is planning to throw a surprise birthday party for Hanna. -I understood. -Miku said. -So she told me that I need to get a job if I want to give my girlfriend a decent gift. -I replied as we walked to the living room.

-Ahn ... Now I got it. So you were bullied by your girlfriend's mom. -Miku said.

-Is not it! But I must say that she is right.

-Eh? -Miku tilted his head without understanding.

-Well ... I as a boyfriend, I have to make an effort to give her all the best. -I replied with conviction.

-All right then, brother! Do your best! -Miku wished me luck.

-Thanks! -I replied.

After a little conversation as we walked down the hall, we finally made it to our classroom.

I kept thinking about work. I was very nervous.

I still have to come up with an excuse for Hanna so I can leave alone today.

If she knows that I got this part-time job because of her she will insist that I give up and that she doesn't need any of that.

Well ... In a little while it's time for a break, I'm going to meet her and then I think about what I'm going to say.

* School signal ringing, break time *

Finally ... Time for a break!

I go to Hanna's office.

I got to the living room door and saw Hanna talking to some girls:

Friend 1: -Hahaha! So it means that you are dating but you haven't kissed yet ?!

Friend 2: -If I were you I would not waste time. Even more so with a kitten boyfriend like that.

-É'ê ... Êhh !! Stop it! I'm ashamed! -Hanna answered them.

In the meantime, I was just looking out the door without knowing what they were talking about, when suddenly:

Friend 2: -Talking about the prince; look who got there!

Hanna looked ashamed.

-B'b'aki? !! O'what are you doing here? -She asked her in a shaky voice.

-Uh, I came to pick up my girlfriend for lunch. -I replied.

-Uuhh ...! He came to get his girlfriend from the living room! What a gentleman! -The girls said in a mischievous tone.

-Come, Baki. Let's go outside! - Hanna said.

-You have good friends, right. -I stated.

-Uh ... Yes! They are my best friends. Hanna replied.

-What were you talking about? -I asked.

Hanna was all flushed and replied all fumbled: -Êêh ?! N'n'ada! It was a girls' affair!

-I understood. -I replied.

-Changing the subject; Did you want to say something to me? Hanna asked.

-Ah yes yes! -I replied. -I came here to say that unfortunately I will not be able to accompany you to the way home this week.

-There is? Because? Hanna asked without understanding.

-Ahn ... It's just that I'm very busy on a particular project, so I'm focusing as hard as possible to finish as quickly as possible, you know ...

-Uh ... I get it. But what is this project about? Hanna asked.

-Aah ... It's not a big deal! You will know when the time comes. -I replied.

-Uuh ... Alright then ...

She fell?

Was it that easy?

(Baki can't believe he can manipulate his girlfriend so easily)

-So ... Then you will show me your project, right ?! Hanna asked.

-Hmm ... Yes! I'm sure you will love it!

-Ahhn .. !! I'm anxious! -Hanna replied with a twinkle in her eye.

Yes, I will do anything to make you enjoy the present. I still don't know what I'm going to give you or do, but I will do anything to make it something that is very special to you.
