Helping Others Club

Chapter 4

Tot. Tot. Tot

As the alarm rang, Lourence woke up from his deep slumber.

"Finally had a better sleep", he muttered.

His daily life came back to normal again (that's what he thought).

******

He walked out of his house, rode his bicycle, and started going to the train station. As he reached the bicycle parking area, he parked his bike there.

******

He entered the train, and surprisingly, he saw Adrian.

"Sup man, good morning.", Adrian greeted.

"Mm", he simply nodded.

He stared for a moment, because he's surprised of the new 'image' of Adrian. He is completely different from his 'normal' self. He's hair is messy and he is using cinch bag instead of a backpack. It gives an aura of a 'delinquent'.

After observing for a moment he then looked away. He took out his book(novel) to read, so that he could do something to pass the time going to his destination.

******

The train reached their designated station. Lourence came out from the train and hid back his book.

"Hey bro, let's go to the school together.", Adrian called him from behind.

Lourence looked at him, a bit agitated.

"When did I ever let you call me bro?", he replied.

"Haha, sorry, I think it's a bit rude to call you 'man' all the time, so I thought of something to call you.", Adrian replied giddily.

"Well never mind.", he started walking as he said that.

"Finally found one of my kind.", Adrian murmured. He just realized, Lourence is already a few meters away, "Hey bro, wait for me.", then he went after him.

******

Reaching the gate of the school, Adrian asked him, "Bro, did you already joined a club? If not, let's make our own club. I'm gonna give you some time to think, you don't need to answer now." He then went first.

Lourence, standing there thought, 'What the f*ck man, this guy is so annoying. This time he invited me to join a club? You already know my answer (not joining), why bother asking?', he whined inside his mind.

'I think my peaceful days is starting to disappear.', he thought.

After thinking for a bit, he then went back to his own 'business'.

******

Adrian entered their classroom, everyone is completely surprised of his new 'image', so they started to ask him.

"What in the world happened to you?", someone asked in a teasing way.

"What the, what happened to the old Adrian? Are you his doppelganger?, someone asked.

Some laughed, but what happened next, completely surprised them.

Adrian simply said, "Are you not done yet?"

The whole crowd became awkward; they didn't expect his reply to be like that.

"What's your problem, man? They are simply joking, why do you take it so seriously.", someone spoke from the crowd, his name is Fernandez.

Fernandez, is one of the member of the group who Adrian hang out with. Although, he is surprised of Adrian's 'appearance', he got so irritated from his reply.

'Everyone greeted him with jokes to keep the vibe fun, but that's his only reply? Unbelievable.', he mumbled inside his head.

******

"And who the f*ck are you to say that to me?", Adrian became agitated.

Lyan at the back of the crowd is planning to stop them. However, before she could do that, the door suddenly opened, Lourence came rushing in headed to the direction of Adrian.

Adrian saw who the person is, he tried to greet him, "Oh, hey br—", before he could say it, a fist hit his face and knocked him down.

Everyone is completely surprised, this is their first time seeing Lourence being violent and what's more, he knocked Adrian. They thought they were close, seeing them sitting beside each other on the day of the field trip.

******

Before that happened, Lourence is reading his book while going to their classroom. After he got near the door, he heard the ruckus inside. He peeked through the small window of the door, and saw the two arguing.

'What a bunch of moron.', he thought inside his head.

He was planning to just ignore them and started continuing to entering the room using the other door, but he stopped after hearing,

"Who the f*ck are you to say that to me?"

"Say another word, and I'm gonna beat you half to death."

Although, Lourence don't want to give a sh*t about other people's business, he really hates it when someone becomes very arrogant, he will definitely do something about it.

After hearing that, Lourence became somewhat angry because he felt Adrian is getting 'arrogant'. So he let go of his bag and came running into the door.

******

Adrian tried to stand up after getting knocked by Lourence. He somewhat became angry, "What's the big i—", before he could say it, he was slapped by Lourence.

"Contain yourself idiot, you pissed me off.", Lourence simply said to him.

After hearing him say that, Adrian started to reflect from his mistakes.

"You're right, thank you bro.", Adrian replied to him with a sincere smile.

The whole class became even more surprised, they clearly saw Adrian getting punched and smacked right into the face. After that, he just easily forgave him.

They thought, 'What a weird duo.'

******

After the situation got handled. The whole class returned to their designated seats. Adrian went into the clinic to get checked, while Lourence returned to his usual routine (reading novel).

On the opposite side of Lourence seat, Christina is staring at him, and thought inside her head,

'This guy is really mysterious; he surprises me every time.'

A few moments later, the teacher finally came in, asked them where Adrian is, and the normal day continued.

******

It's finally time to go to the club rooms, Lourence hasn't already joined a club, so he went on the rooftop to pass his time (to read).

******

Before he could reach the door to the rooftop, someone called him,

"Bro, it's time to answer my question earlier. Do you want to join or not?", Adrian asked him.

He looked towards the person with an expressionless face. Suddenly, he remembered the words that his teacher said earlier,

"If you do not join any club, I'm gonna fail you. How can you join the society if you can't even join a club?" (Actually, the teacher directed it to him.)

'Well, joining a club is reasonable, might as well join too.', he thought to himself.

******

After standing there for a few minute. He then looked at Adrian and replied, "I'll join, but first, what is the name of the club?"

"Hahaha, the name of the club is not decided yet.", Adrian replied while bursting into laughter.

"Actually I just left from my previous club and in order to create a club, it needs two people so that's why I invited you.", he added.

'It's really the farewell for my peaceful life', Lourence thought sighing.

Adrian took out a piece of paper, and showed it to him.

"This is the 'club application form', after we fill in this paper, we're gonna submit it.", Adrian Informed him.

******

They came out from the room where they submitted their 'club application form'. Adrian looked at Lourence and couldn't contain it, he burst into laughter,

"Hahahahaha, what kind of name is that?"

"Think about it logically, our purpose is helping other clubs if they have problems.", Lourence simply replied.

"Still man, Haha".

"Oh, let's go home together, since we had the same direction.", Adrian suggested.

"Piss off, don't follow me.", Lourence replied.

"C'mon man, are you still angry about earlier?", Adrian jokingly said.

Lourence didn't bother talking to him back.

******

On a top of a table, there is an application form for forming a club, the name of the club is, 'Helping Others Club'.
