Chapter 3: The Start Of The Plan

Since our rooms are going the same way, we both walked back together from the teacher's office, and we talked for a while.

"So your Carl huh?"

"Umm...Yes that's me"

Now that I have met Carl, what would I do for them to meet each other?

"So Carl, do you perhaps have any other friends? Just asking"

"E-Eh? Well it's embarrassing to say but, I don't really hang out with someone in my class~ except my childhood friend" he replied

As expected by his expressions, he's more like a loner huh? Not like I'm the one to talk.

"So you don't have that many friends?"

"Haha~ Yeah"

He said with a disappointed face, wait a minute... I have an Idea! wait- WHY AM I ENTHUSIASTIC BY THIS!

"Carl, do you perhaps have someone to eat with lunch?"

"I suppose I'm going to eat by myself cause my friend said she had something to do, Umm... Why do you ask?"

"Then why don't we eat lunch together?"

"Ehh? Why? Don't you have someone to eat with?"

"Hmm... I'll just say to them that I'm going to eat with you"

"I'm happy on what your saying but, Why me?"

"Whaat~? Aren't we friends? I wanna know more about you!"

For my plan. I started having a clingy personality so that he will have a hard time deciding.

"What!? We-We're friends?"

"You helped me right? Isn't it natural that you want to be friends?"

"Is that even how it works-"

"Alright!" I cut him off "Then meet you by the cafeteria, I forgot to do something so see ya later!"

"Ah wait!"

I ran far away from him so that he can't decline my offer, he'll still be alone right? It's a win-win situation, or more like win-lose because I'm not going to benefit from this, wait if he says that he likes someone, then doesn't the chance of me being chosen rises up!? Yup this is a win-win situation alright!

I go inside my classroom where others have already arrived, I sat on my chair while using my phone for something, then someone sat on the seat infront of me, it was Fredrick.

"So, what happened"

"Whoah- You scared me right there... What do you mean what happened?"

"You know about what I'm talking about, yesterday she called out to you right? So what happened?"

Gueh- I forgot about that.

"Oh haha~ she just called out to me for help or something like that, ahaha"

"..."

"W-What is it?"

"So she said she liked someone else and wants you to help her?"

Why is this man so sharp, wait-

"Did you eavesdrop on our conversation yesterday!?"

"Nope, It's a wild guess from your expressions, you know that I do a part time job so why would I do something pain in the ass"

"Uwah~ man you're scary"

"Oh look, speak of the devil"

Julian walks to our place and talked to me immediately.

"Good morning Steven! So we'll do our plan this lunch okay!?"

She said excitedly

"Straight to the point huh? No, I refuse"

"What! Why!? You said you'd help me right? So you're breaking you're promise? I know right? Getting you to help me is annoying right? I'm sorry for pushing you into this, I suppose I'll do this by myself then, but we're still friends okay?"

There she goes blabbing off without listening to me again.

"Why don't you listen for a minute? I'm not done talking"

"Eh? Then what about making our plan-"

"I am already doing something like our plan and that is during lunch, don't disturb me or don't follow me, if you want my help then follow what I'm saying right now, got it?" I said with an angry tone.

"G-Got it"

"Good, now then I need to go to the bathroom"

And I went off just like that.

"That was the first time I saw him like that"

Julian talks to Fredrick

"Isn't it because of you?"

"W-what? Me? I'm the cause? Why?"

"Isn't it because you're dense?" Fredrick replied.

"What! What do you mean by that!? Explain it to me! Hey! Are you listening?

Julian continues to argue with Fredrick while he let out an sigh.

"Haah~ don't you ever drag me into this mess, cause I ain't helping" Fred thought to himself.

When I went back to the classroom class already started, I went off to my seat and listened to class, is what I want to do but, I was just gazing off outside the window looking down at the people pass by, by the way we're on the second floor.

As I was just gazing off my eyes anywhere, it was already lunch time.

"So it's time"

I went off my chair and went to the cafeteria where I saw Carl already at a table. I readied myself. Breath in, breath out, and I called out to Carl

"Yo Carl! I shouted at the top of my lungs
