CHAPTER 2: THE TEN SOLITAIRES

CHAPTER 2: THE TEN SOLITAIRES

Once the teacher spoke, silence was heard around the room and everyone paid attention. Both I and my colleagues were listening and watching him give his notes and in the middle of his speech, weakened by not having breakfast, I began to sleep so I closed my eyes for just a moment and when I opened it the next moment I no longer hear no noise around so I look and I can't find anyone in the room, I quickly turn on and check the time on my cell phone.

"Heh! Did I sleep that long? It is already time for lunch. "

Normally at a certain point when you fall asleep in class, the teachers scold you and give you a punishment, but for us loners, these situations are very rare. It is the only advantage that we have since teachers very rarely realize our presence or that is what we believe, perhaps they only see us and ignore us as an existence that is not worth scolding or wasting words on it.

I get up from my seat, I leave the room and walk towards the dining room, better known as a cafeteria for most of the students, once inside I look around for an empty table.

"Ho! There is one over there. "

And I walk quickly towards it before it is invaded by someone else, once I arrive I feel immediately.

"Great! I've already marked my territory, I don't think anyone will come near now. "

Happy that I don't have to waste effort looking for another table, I take out my lunch box and rest it on it, once I'm ready to uncover the container and start eating I direct my right hand towards the lid but by the time I'm about to open it I hear a great commotion coming from the dining room entrance.

Group of athletes: Hey foreign boy! Come sit with us and tell us about what your country is like in sports!

Superficial Girl Group: Come on! Come gray-kun, sit with us! Please!

Group of otakus:…!

Popular group: Come gray! Sit with us! Since you belong to our category, you don't need to hang out with people of that ilk!

Gray Watson: Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I've already arranged to sit down with someone else, maybe another time I appreciate their invitations!

"I have? How strange, he has even rejected the popular group. Is that someone so important to him? Well it's not like I'm interested, I'd better start eating since I'm starving. "

I look away from the crowd and uncap my lunch box, which contained nothing but cold leftover pizza from yesterday.

"How sad! Why can't I be like those manga protagonists where I'm either a little sister or a childhood friend or maybe a girl in love prepares an event for the main character? The reality is very cruel. "

Sadly, I pick up a slice with my left hand and take a bite.

"Glup! This pizza has lost some flavor, but it is still edible. "

Gray: Hey! Can I sit here with you?

"Have I?"

As I'm sadly munching on the cold pizza left over yesterday, I hear a familiar voice from the side, look over and meet the new exchange student.

Harumi: Do what you want, it's not like I own the table.

Gray: Well then, with permission.

While I'm munching on the cold pizza I feel unsettling as this new student sitting across from me won't stop staring at me.

Harumi: Do you need something?

Gray: I have? No, nothing was just waiting for you to introduce yourself but I had forgotten to introduce myself ha. Nice to meet you, I'm gray Watson.

Harumi: I know I already heard you introduce yourself in class. I am harumi.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Gray: Well harumi now that we introduce ourselves, why don't we become friends.

Harumi: Friends? Why do you want to be my friend? Besides, didn't you have to meet someone now?

Gray: Ho! You heard about it just now, that was just a little lie to stop them insisting.

Harumi: Really, and why did you do that?

Gray: Those people are only interested in becoming my friend because they are from abroad, having money and good looks, that is why I am not interested in being their friend but instead you are different since you did not give me the slightest importance, it is because that I want to be your friend.

Harumi: Do what you want.

Gray: So from now on I consider myself your friend.

Harumi: But are you sure you want to be?

Gray: Yes, why do you ask?

Harumi: Because you see, I'm a loner, what people call the pestilence of antisocial society, dark boy, if you stay close to me you will surely become one.

Gray: Ha! It was that! But I don't care, since I was always the center of attention in my country, I would like to go unnoticed here, and I would still have you as a friend, right?

Hearing his sincere words looking at his slender smile, almost blinded by the light emanating from him, I took another bite of the pizza while trying to avoid his glowing eyes.

Gray: By the way, Harumi! What are you eating?

"Eh? Weird! Don't you know pizza? As far as I know, it's world famous?"

Harumi: This is called pizza and it is world famous. It really surprises me that you don't know her.

Gray: Ho! So this is what they call pizza? I don't know her but I've heard of her. Can you let me try one?

Harumi: Eat one if you want, but I warn you that it's cold, it's usually eaten hot.

Hearing my affirmation, the student in front of me directed his hand towards the lunch box he brings.

Harumi: What are you doing? Weren't you going to eat the slice of pizza?

Gray: Yes, that's why I was looking for a plate a fork and a knife.

Harumi: Are you stupid? He eats pizza like me, this kind of food is eaten by hand.

Gray: Oh! That's true! So as you Japanese say, thank you for the food.

This foreign boy reached out his hand and started eating the pizza, then he took out his lunch box which contained perfectly well prepared sushi and invited me to it.

And so we spent the lunch hour having lunch.

Once we finished, the bell rang and we started to get up.

Gray: Hey! Harumi! What do you do after school?

Harumi: nothing trey, I'm just going to my bedroom.

Gray: Him! Don't you go to any club ?, And by the way my name is gray no trey.

Harumi: No. Remember that I am a loner by nature drey, if I went to one of them they would not accept me or they would accept me and then they would ignore me, so I prefer to avoid going through that depressing scene.

Gray: So how about we form a new club? And I repeat it again, my name is not drey, it is gray.

"Shit, it's hard to pronounce a foreign name."

Harumi: Form a new club? That is impossible, since at least three people are needed to form one and I doubt that someone will want to be included while I am in it.Why don't you join one of the already formed clubs, I guarantee that being you they will accept you in the act?

Gray: I told you before, I'm not interested in making friends with those people. Isn't there a way we can include someone?

I hesitate to answer this question, as I may regret it later, but while in doubt I look into his eyes, pleading, and feeling compassion for him.

Harumi: Okay, there might be a way.

Gray: Seriously! Which?

Harumi: I'll tell you after class, since while we were talking, the bell has already rung for a while, it's better not to take too long.

Gray: You're right! I had forgotten, come on.

I quickly left the dining room with Gray and we entered the living room.

……….

"Say ah! I'm finally done."

I quickly stretch my arms towards the ceiling while giving a big yawn and glad that class finished I leave the room.

Gray: Harumi! Wait! What we talked about at lunch.

"Ho! I almost forgot."

Running behind me the good-looking foreigner calls out to me, I slow down as I walk and comes to my side.

Harumi: Sure, I almost forgot. You want to know how to form a club, right?

Gray: Exactly but why are you calling me ren? That doesn't even look like my name anymore.

Harumi: I know but didn't they tell you the Japanese customs?

Gray: Japanese custom?

Harumi: Yes. Every time a Japanese befriends a foreigner, they give him a Japanese nickname as a sign of their friendship.

Gray: Ho! I didn't know, if that's the case please can you call me ren from now on even though that name doesn't sound like Japanese to me.

"Goodness! I don't feel like wasting my time learning the pronunciation of a name. "

Harumi: Well, as I said before, there is a way and that is for the remaining member to be one of the ten loners from high school.

Gray: Ten loners? You weren't the only one

Harumi: Of course I am the only loner by nature, since no matter my appearance or personality, nobody comes close to me. On the other hand, these ten lonely people are almost normal people but with great defects, if they were not normal or even popular students.

Gray: Great! They sound interesting.

"Seriously! What is interesting about a group of phenomena? "

Harumi: Well, what are you going to do?

Gray: Of course recruit one of them to form our club, come on.

Harumi: Wait! Do you know their names or location?

Gray: Of course not, I just found out about their stock.

Harumi: Then! Where do you want to go idiot? Puff ... Follow me at least I know the location of two of them.
