Chapter 39: Dewdrops

Monday, back to school....

Yesterday, after planning of messing Furuwari's boss schedule to distract him, i come back home.

No one was in the house so i started the plan of becoming a philanthropist.

During night, everyone looks so tired so i cooked a easy and light dish to help them rest.

Next day, i'm outside my new classroom but my old friends are blocking the door.

Sairu and Ikaru just gaze at me, Karui is just leaning in the wall crossed arms.

"Hey, is the Class A field trip to you?" Sairu is genuinely confuse on my choice.

"Well, you should already heard it from him, i don't deserve that position, i'm a carefree guy, this position is something Karui deserves because of his hard work and determination." I spoke nonchalantly.

Even if it's just a short time, i enjoy being with them, it's a kind of friend i never got... Oh, Karui too.

"Well guess what mister carefree guy, he didn't say anything! I hate his attitude!"

"Why are you being angry about Sairu, isn't he just fine? We are getting along you know." Ikaru asked his brother with lazily tone.

"Right, i think Ikaru and Karui is similar, but Ikaru isn't hot blooded." I agree with Ikaru's comment.

"That's the reason itself! This guy attitude is similar to Ikaru! It's annoying! There are two annoying guys ib my side! And what do you mean hot blooded‽ Ikaru just didn't got any fights for a long time!" Sairu voice is something that wants sympathy.

I looked at Ikaru's hand before and there are calluses on his knuckles, but as hot blooded, Ikaru and Karui has same control of themselves, they will be hot blood if someone don't take care of them.

"I agree, but Karui is handsome, and the two of you are the same, you will surely get a girl." I gave them a thumbs up.

"Are you telling that the three of us are handsome or saying: 'the two of us are the same' is a pun?" Sairu asked suspiciously

"Ikaru, if your hot blooded, how come you didn't got any urge to punch Sairu? Isn't he so loud?" I avoided his question and look at Ikaru.

"This guy doesn't have any second thought, we will return to class now." Ikaru drag Sairu's neck with his elbow.

"Stop, fine, let me go, good bye Reika, we will visit you in cafeteria." Sairu struggle at his twin.

"What now Karui?" I asked him who finally stopped leaning.

"Did you flirt with my sister." He asked without a tone.

"What the fuck is that question and no, i didn't, your sister is the one who approached me." I answered without a tone too.

This guy just dropped a bomb that is completely unrelated to atmosphere.

"I'm sorry about that, she's just troublesome, and thank you."

His eyes are looking at my eyes directly, he matured a bit.

"No problem." I smiled.

He left showing his vulnerable back.

His defensive attitude before was gone, and now, it is so easy to attack him, but he truly become 'still' as water.

He will continue to learn and become stronger to protect what he dear the most.

When they are gone in my sights, i finally entered my new classroom.

.....

Entering the room, serious glares of my new classmates was focused on every part of my body, but they are surprised on how plain am i.

They heard the conversation outside, but they chose to stay silent, that's how respectful they are from Class A, but they don't need that exaggerated respect, they will just continue to give Class A a worth even if they hate them.

The female teacher want to say something but words cease to exist trying not to offend someone that came from Class A.

Only Miru doesn't care on what is happening.

That's right, we are classmates, this is Class B-2, Class A-2 is highest but Class B of privilege is higher, Class C-2 is the most lowest section.

The building is completely separated from the 3 buildings of central entrance, it feels like a new school because we are far away from them, and the society here is also completely different, but it is still within the discrimination reach.

Since no one is going to say something, i'll introduce myself.

"Good morning, my name is Reika Heisir, nice meeting you." I bowed

But i just received a silence.

I walked towards Miru's direction and she is glaring at me intensely for every steps i took.

But even so, i became her seatmate.

"I'm in your care, president." I greet her with low voice and smile without looking at her.

"Don't get to close to me." As usual, she still cold as ever

"Come on, don't be like that, our goal is to make peace but you can't even do that? I'm sad."

"Your position in student council is just a member."

"Thank you, it's enough." I seriously thank her now.

We attracted a lot of attention since everyone is peeking at us.

"This is why i hate being associated with you."

"Heh, thank you for the compliment."

The class started and it eventually end fast, teachers left early for a meeting, possibly because they didn't foresee this and going to tackle how they would deal me.

Lunch break....

The wind is great despite it's hot.

We arrived at the right building again where the scholar's student council is located.

I introduced myself on many students and they are surprised why i am going to work here.

"Nice working with you secretary." I spoke to the glasses girl who has athletic figure despite she's in my shoulder level height.

"Un." She continue to flip the book that she is focusing

I wanted to greet that scheming vice president but it seems like he isn't here.

I entered Miru's room again.

"What's up class president?"

"What do you want."

"Oya? I just want to know what happened to the plan, did it got approved?"

"It is, we will start immediately if we can, for now the treasurer will be busy."

"That's a good news, how about you miss president? Do you have any thoughts for summer?"

"That doesn't concern you." She's still monotonous.

"Ha fine, but i hope i can invite you for the summer event that our restaurant will host."

I gave her a azure card which is ticket for the two events.

"I don't need this."

"Oh you are hurting my feelings, do you really not enjoy your life?"

"There's nothing to enjoy."

"You did not like the coffee and carrot cake recipe i gave to you?"

"That's a different topic."

She just doesn't realized it huh, nothing to enjoy in life, that's funny....

"I'm sure you enjoy cooking, anyone who taste your dish will know that you made an effort, and i'm one of those people who knows how much time you consumed for those." I just smiled genuinely.

I'm stroking the book inside her room

She stayed silent for 14 seconds before speaking again.

"There's nothing to be proud of, i just learned it from my sister, that's all." It felt like she's more vulnerable in this topic.

"Hm, but you enjoyed it right? Listening to her, looking at her, following her, until you made it, you made your own effort to preserve your enjoyment you felt during those times."

She stayed silent and stopped writing.

"President, you're bad at lying."

I used a highlighter to highlight a word in a dictionary i am reading, smiled and push it forward her.

Enjoy: verb; take delight or pleasure in (an activity or occasion).

It is the word that is highlighted.

....

When i left the room and go to the cafeteria, Aine and Korisu greeted me, Karui, the twins, Taiko and Anria are also there.

"Why did you leave me!" Anria rushed foward and grabbed my collar.

"Oya, i remember, our act as couple isn't done yet right?"

Sairu is already eating out most of the foods he ordered, Karui and Ikaru are drinking the same drink.

Taiko who has attracted a lot of girls are approaching to join us that distracted Sairu and Ikaru, they gave him another pissed off glare, Aine and Korisu were cornered in middle of Sairu, Karui and Ikaru.

Kiara, Clara and Mira is coming this way too since Anria waved at them.

The laughter is very loud, yet warm, the clang of the glasses can be heard and the blissful faces can be seen.

Admiration, enjoyment, fullfilness.

Truly blissful at this moment as if there's nothing we can worry about.

Youthful summer will began soon.
