ead-

today isn't tsuna's day.

to begin with, reborn woke him up at the crack of dawn, demanding he go on a morning run in punishment for being third to last at the 100m sprint (he's gotten a little better since meeting reborn as a result of all the bullets and bombs he needs to evade constantly). then he accidently ran into ryohei who dragged him around the whole of namimori twice all in the name of showing tsuna the exercise the boxing club does.

as a consequence, he ended up being late for school and hibari chased him around the school building five times, demanding a fight he did not want to take a part in. gokudera then almost blew up the canteen after they ran out of food he was going to buy for his beloved tenth and yamamoto almost killed someone during pe after someone threw him a baseball.

to top it all off, his english paper, which he knew he'd failed at miserably and tried to forget about, came back that lesson, the boy only having gotten 12 marks out of 60. so now he had to stay behind and take a supplementary class and afterwards be killed by reborn for doing so poorly.

he sits at his desk and inwardly sobs at the realization also that he seems to be the only one taking this supplementary class, already anticipating the glares he is going to get from the english teacher when they enter.

it's then the classroom door slides open and he readies himself for a lecture. to his surprise, kahiro rushes in instead, ponytail swinging from side to side as she races to the desk beside him and plunks herself down. "thank god, i thought i was late!" she exclaims, leaning back in her chair and

eathing deeply.

"imada-chan, you didn't do well in the english test?" tsuna questions, surprised and secretly a little glad that he isn't the only one to fail.

she laughs sheepishly. "i wrote all my answers one question off. didn't even realize until i got to the last question and then it was too late!" kahiro then sighs dramatically. "today is not my day-the canteen ran out of food so i borrowed some from a friend on the football team in return for playing in their club today. i then only remembered about this class when i'd already gone out to the club so i got my ears yelled off by the coach. the

ead always falls on the buttered side, doesn't it?"

tsuna shudders in memory of his awful day. "yeah…"

"well, at least we aren't alone in our misery." she proclaims, grinning widely at tsuna. he blinks, momentarily taken aback by what she is implying:

i am glad you are with me.

him, no-good tsuna, overall loser and clumsy idiot to most of the school population.

then, he smiles back.

the

ead didn't fall completely on the buttered side this time.
