Chapter 2:You're an Average Guy

"Soooo basically,you have a money problem"

"Yes"

"So you asked those thugs to provide you with what you need and that you will pay them back by the end of the month"

"Yes"

"And those guys were nice enough to do that,but you were short on the money so you didn't manage to pay"

"Mhm"

"So those guys were going to break into your apartment if you didn't went to that alley,then i happened and we're here,is that correct?"

"Yes that is what happened"

"Why do you have a money problem though,did ya already spend your monthly allowance from your parents or something?"

Hiroto hearing the word "parent's",has a sad look on his face as he turns his head down.Sora immediately seeing this tried to comfort Hiroto

"Uh,sorry,I guess I went into a personal topic there"

Hiroto looks at Sora,reassuring him

"Nah,it's not really that bad,I mean,they just went....somewhere far away.thats all"

As Hiroto says that he looks out into the distance with distant eyes from Sora's windows

"Now now,don't phrase it like that"

"Hm?"

Hiroto,confused with what Sora meant by that,takes a look at Sora looking into the distance too

"Let's say it's something like...they went to a better place"

Sora says that with a big smile on his face while looking at Hiroto

Hiroto smiles back as he says"Hm,your right,that does make it sound better,thanks"

"No problem....but what is,is your money problem"

"Oh you didn't have to remind me!"

"Well,do you got a plan to solve it?"

"I have a part time job,so to be honest I'm just gonna reduce how much I spend"

"Ohh good plan"

But that's what any normal person would do–Hiroto thought

"Ahem"

Sora coughed,getting Hiroto's attention

"Looks like it's already getting dark,you know what that means"

"Oh right,sorry for overstaying my welcome"

"What? That's not what I meant"

"Huh?"

"I obviously mean a sleepover,duh"

"W-what?? Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind staying here(because I'm too lazy to go home)but what would your parent's think?"

Sora tilted his head, genuinely confused on what Hiroto was talking about

"...I live alone bro"

Hiroto is a little taken back with what Sora said

"Oh...I see.Well then let's have a sleepover!!"

"Yeah!!"

It's said that Sora's neighbors filed a noise complaint.But it wasn't all fun,since after their "party" was over Sora slept on his comfortable bed but Hiroto got to sleep on the couch,which wasn't all that comfortable

***

Looks like I'm gonna meet some new people

Hiroto takes out his phone to take a look at his messages with Sora

[Saturday at 3:24 pm]

Sora Harada

[Yoooo Hirotooo]

[Let's hang out tomorrow]

[I'm bringing some friend's I want you to meet]

[I'll send you the time and place,be there]

Hiroto Saito

[Woah I haven't even agreed yet]

Sora Harada

[So? You coming or not]

Hiroto Saito

[Ugh,fine I'm coming]

Sora Harada

[I knew you'd say that!]

Hiroto Saito

[Where are we going anyway?]

Sora Harada

[Gonna go shopping]

[Bring a shopping list]

I can't believe that Sora,making plans and adding me in them without my consent,the nerve!

As Hiroto walks to the designated meeting spot,he sees a figure that's already there

Is that Sora's friend? He seems pretty tall–

Hiroto stops in his tracks as he recognizes who the figure is,at a staggering 6'4 tall monster,has blonde spiky hair,and is muscular too from what Hiroto can see

Isn't that kaito Nakamura?? From what I heard he's from the same school as me and Sora,and a popular delinquent too.But looking at him for real,he checks all the boxes for being a delinquent

Hiroto hides behind a bush Infront of a coffee shop

Is that really Sora's friend?? Knowing Sora,nothing's impossible

Hiroto takes a look back at Kaito Nakamura,and sees him playing with his phone.But suddenly,Kaito looks up from his phone,looks to his right and he raises his right hand,looking like he's greeting someone.Hiroto takes a peek over the corner and sees two other people.

A couple? Seems like Nakamura-San knows them,are they perhaps part of the friends Sora said he was gonna bring?

As Hiroto was deep in thought ,he takes a clear look at the couples faces,he recognizes them too

....what the fuck.Hiroto thinks to himself before he slaps his face trying to focus on what the fuck is happening

....that's the famous couple at our school.There isn't much things that people know about them,only that they flirt a lot and do regular couple things,but I gotta say they do look good together

If I remember correctly,the guy's name is Shiunji Matsumoto and his girl is Yuna Suzuki.

Shiunji has the nickname "vampire prince" because of his red eyes,and his real beauty is in his hair,he's got curly hair covering his right eye,you can see a little bit of his eye though I'd say he looks like an anime mc Hiroto thought.And also,did I forget to mention he's 6 feet tall.

And Yuna Suzuki,she has brown,dazzling,magnificent,and smooth long hair.She's pretty beautiful and judging by looks,elegant looking too,perfect match for Shiunji.looking at her height she looks almost as tall as Shiunji,like 5'9 or 5'8

But could they really be the friends Sora was talking about? Or maybe this is all just a huge coincidence an–

Before Hiroto could finish his thought process,he sees someone running at the corner of his eye,and it's....Sora...

Hiroto faintly hears the words "What's up guys!" As Sora jumps on Kaito's back making them both fall to the ground,Hiroto looks at them just laughing it off

"Of course,you came at the right time Sora."

"He always comes at the perfect time right?"

"Yes he doe–"

?? Hiroto turns around to see someone behind him

On the contrary to the other two guys,this one is relatively small,smaller than Sora I'd say.He also has a darkish blue long hair covering his right eye.Just by looking at him he gives of a gloomy vibe,or in other words,the average loner mc in anime with no friends.

He leans down on the still crouching Hiroto and says"If you keep staring at them like that people might think you're a stalker"

Too bad the only thing going through Hiroto's head is "who the fuck are you?"

The gloomy guy notices that Hiroto doesn't seem to follow what he said,so he stands straight again and he makes a quiet groan sound

He says "this is gonna be harder than I thought" with a quiet voice,just quiet enough that Hiroto didn't understand

"What?"

"Uhh nothing,anyways get up and let's go to them"

"Just a question"

"Yes I'm friends with them"

Heh? This guys part of THAT group of friends? And how did he know what I was gonna say!? Hiroto thinks to himself before reluctantly agreeing and standing up

From the other side of the road Sora notices the two walking together towards them,Sora shouts "hey guys!!" As he waves to them and also startling the people around them

Shiunji hits Sora in the head saying "too loud" to Sora as Yuna and kaito laughs at them

This is a crazy friend group,and crazy is an understatement ,how did they even become friends? They are so different from each other Hiroto thought

The two go across the road and everybody greets each other,well,they mostly greet Hiroto but not after they greet the gloomy guy

"Taro!! What's up man, didn't expect you to meet Hiroto first" Sora said looking extra happy today

Taro? So that's what his name is,seems to be his first name though

"Yeah me too,I didn't expect that we would cross paths"

He....is he trying to help me not get embarrassed by not saying that I was staring at them the whole time?

"Well,putting that aside,you really look like what Sora-san described you Saito-san" Shiunji said

"Yeah,you're physique is really average too" Kaito added

"Wait,what did Sora say about me??"

"That to anyone he's ever met,you're the most average/normal person he knows" Yuna said with the most innocent smile she could make

Hiroto,a little taken back with what Sora said about him,well not for long as he says "no...well....I can't argue with that"

"See I knew you'd understand" As Sora pats Hiroto on the back

"Is this a yap session or are we gonna go shopping" Taro said

"Fine fine,but where should we go first?" Sora says

"I know!" Shiunji said enthusiastically

"Take no offence to this Hiroto-san,but looking at your clothes right now gives off negative aura vibes"

Negative aura??

Looking at what Hiroto was wearing,that comment couldn't be anything but the truth,wearing full black with only a little bit of secondary colors does not fit Hiroto

"So I suggest going to a clothing shop"

As everyone agreed with what shiunji said,Hiroto had to say one of his concerns to them

"Umm,I don't know if Sora told you guys but,I am low on money"

"Ohh,don't worry about that"

"What?"

"It's on the house" As he points to himself with his thumb

Hiroto hearing that, he has a shaky voice and is shocked that someone he just met was gonna pay for his clothes

"A-are you sure? We only just met

Matsumoto-san"

"Of course I'm sure,you're part of our group now after all"

"Thank you so muc– wait,group??" Hiroto with a surprised face,looks at Sora

"Oh yeah I forgot to mention you're part of us now,my bad~" Sora scratches the back of his head trying to act cute

Wait what???

"Anyways,let's get going!!"

"Woo hoo!"

"Stop running you numbskulls"

"Shiunji-kun,let's go"

"Alright"

They all start walking with cheerful smiles as they talk with Hiroto walking behind them,his head filled with many questions with one being the biggest

What the fuck is happening?
