And my comeback to school was really tiring, sorry for my absence~
----------------------------------------
Other than the visual art, foreign languages and JROTC electives, there were also the culinary course, journalism (the school’s newspaper), the choir and some computer science courses, definitely not my thing. At the end we were told that tomorrow we would have a similar day as in the afternoon the school’s various clubs would be presented to us.
Also, tomorrow at lunch I’ll need to pass by the teacher’s office to inquire about the JROTC’s timetable. The visual art elective’s representatives said we only needed to participate at least once a week, the course was open every day and there were two teachers as supervisors. A handy disposition, but considering what elective it is, I didn’t find it too surprising.
“He wasn’t too bad looking.”
Started Alice as we all walked toward the gymnasium’s exit. Barely in an ordered queue, we freshmen were led outside as for us school had ended then and there. What my red-haired friend was teasing me about was the boy a few seats away from us who continuously stole glances in our direction. As to his left the only females were us two, unless he was interested in males, he definitely took a liking to one of us. To be precise, to me, or so Alice says.
“Nnh~ he doesn’t look like my type”
Past the gym’s double door was the big track made for the running club, sided by two little facilities, the nearest edifice was specially made for the JROTC’s activities while the farthest one was for the school’s clubs. We were currently behind our u-shaped school, the gymnasium stood by its side a little distance away, but its entrance faced the opposite direction. The classes were on the two wings of the building, the floor dividing the grade.
The headmaster and teachers’ offices and such things were in the central part of the structure, along with the student council’s HQ and the classroom of the visual arts elective with the adjacent darkroom. With the exception of the JROTC course, all the electives took place in either of the two wings of the school building. Alice nudged me, breaking my recollection of the school’s structure.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
“Then, what’s your type?”
We followed the stream of people and soon passed the entrance, the two of us continued to walk for a bit more to distance ourselves from the gates to have less students swarming around us. Me and Alice continued to talk while standing as I looked toward the end of road, trying to see when mom would arrive.
“Honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t seen anyone that made me think ‘That’s it!’ but I still am sure that guy isn’t my type.”
“Is that so~? Well, I broke up with my boyfriend when my parents told me we’d move here, so if that guy were to be interested in me I wouldn’t mind giving him a chan— Ah, my father’s here. See ya tomorrow”
A military-green car parked some distance away in the middle of Alice’s speech. From where we stood, I could more or less see her dad, and he was tall. Mr. Halton probably neared 2 meters in height, and his upper body, even if mostly hidden by clothes, appeared well trained; the only other thing I could clearly see was a hint of black beard.
“Bye Alice.”
She walked toward the car while fixing her bag on her shoulder better. When they departed I took out my phone and I started checking my Facebook account, sometimes stealing glances toward the street and parking lot. During the presentations of the elective courses both me and Alice got notified that we had been invited in a group, our class’.
It seemed I was the last to join as there were, with me, 26 members. Before I skimmed through the friend requests, I looked at my classmates’ profile pics. Showing off, both for males and females, seemed to be the standard; although there were some exceptions, like one of the girls had a cartoon guy as a pic while another altogether had both a cartoon picture and an obviously fake, asian name.
