Chapter 5: Choosing a Club!?

So, remember how I was told that accommodations would be arranged for Claire and I?

Yeah… it is a room with a tiled floor. Why tiled you ask?

“So you both are forced to sleep in the same bed, the floor has been tiled with a special tile that is so cold at night that you could safely store food on it.” Or so I was told.

I think it is 2 am? I’m not entirely sure. I haven’t slept at all… you see, here’s how it went down last night.

…

“S-so Logan!” Claire suddenly yells at me before we go to sleep.

I frown as I walk up to the bed and sit on ‘My side’

“What is it C-Claire?” I was also nervous. The clothes she has for sleeping would make even a monk leak out desire. They were see-through, but, she was wearing underwear underneath… very pleasing to the eye…

But that isn’t the point here.

“I-I don’t t-think I’m r-ready t-ton-night… s-s-so…”

I pat her head. I don’t know who I was trying to calm down, but something had to be done.

“I won’t do anything you don’t ask for tonight. We may be married, but it is also true that we just met and… you know… it may sound weird… but I don’t know if MY heart is ready for that kind of thing. You know what I mean?”

Claire nods quickly at my proclamation.

“I-I agree. You should stay on your side, and I’ll stay on my side.”

“That sounds like a good deal to me.” I agree with Claire.

I see no harm in waiting. As I see it, we are together forever now, whether we like it or not.

…

But, this was about 6 hours ago. Claire went to sleep at about 8 pm.

After ten minutes of sleeping she started to roll around.

Then after about five minutes of that she latched on to me.

I am being used as a body pillow, but her face is close to mine... and her chest is definitely pressing against me.

You may say, ‘Just get over it already! She is your wife! Plus, you’re 18 years old!’

Well. All this is true, but I can’t say I’ve had a girlfriend before. It’s a new experience for me. Do I regret my choices that led up to this?

I can safely say I do not.

Oh… that’s strange… I’m really tired all of a sudden….

Let’s just close my eyes for a bit and try not to disturb Claire.

…

“A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a…”

I slowly open my eyes and I see a broken Claire directly in front of my eyes…

No way! Did the situation reverse?

I try to sit up, but Claire was still hanging on to me.

Ah, it seems that I had stated to hug Claire while I was sleeping making it so we were both hugging each other.

“Good morning Claire.”

I sleepily try to stand up… but Claire hangs on to me and drags me back in to the bed.

“L-Logan… good morning.”

She leans in to kiss me on the lips. I gladly accept the kiss from Claire.

“I love you Claire… but… we really should get ready for school you know.”

“I-I guess s-s-so.”

Claire nervously releases me from the bed.

I feel like I’m forgetting something…

Oh well, can’t be too important if I forgot about it.

I slowly get out of the bed and stand on the ground.

“So cold!”

I jump back into bed but smash my head off the side table somehow.

“Uuuggghhh.” My head is in my hands and I am groaning in pain.

“Logan!” Claire moves over to see if I am okay.

What an interesting morning…

…

“So today is the day you will be choosing your clubs! It is mandatory to join a club! However, if you are in either the disciplinary committee, or the student council, you will be exempt from this rule.”

I wonder what club Claire will join. Should I join the same club as her?

I’ll ask her at lunch.

…

“Ryan’s Fault!”

“Ryan’s Fault!”

“Ryan’s Fault!”

“Thy face shall be melted, so I declare!”

“Ryan’s Fault!”

“Ryan’s Fault!”

“Ryan’s Fault!”

Who is that guy that says those dangerous things!? Also, why are there girls chanting too!?

I had just left the classroom for lunch and a large group of people carrying signs with ‘Ryan’s fault’ written on it. This is a cult! He has a cult that is after him!

Well. None of my business.

I shake my head as I walk away. I had closed my eyes.

“Excuse me, Logan right?”

I hear someone in front of me so I open my eyes. It was a tall and skinny guy that was wearing glasses and had black hair.

“Ah, yes. May I ask what you need me for?”

“Sorry for bothering you during you lunch break. My name is Dominic, I am the student council president. I have come to ask if you would like to join the student council.”

I scratch my head and smile.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have the skill to be able to help with the student council work. In my old school, the student council system was slightly different and worked on a volunteer basis with no particular person in charge.”

“I see. Oh, and if you are worried about not being able to spend time together with Claire. We have already thought that through, and the vice-president is on her way to recruit her.”

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

“I see.” I nod slowly, it was one of my worries… “So why me and not a student in a younger year?”

“Well,” The student council president scratches his head, “You see, we know about your math skills and Mr. Northson recommended we choose you to be in charge of finances.”

Ah, the old man has struck again!

Wait a second…

“Hey Dominic, is your last name by any chance, Rousseau?”

He tilts his head to the side and a smile appears on his serious face.

“You’re that Logan!? The one that was a nerd!?”

“Hey buddy! You weren’t much better than me you know? You were the only one that could beat me in FPS games!”

He starts to laugh, completely destroying the semi-serious recruitment mood.

“I can’t believe it’s you Logan. Where’d you disappear to after junior high?”

“Unlike you, I didn’t come from a rich family! I went to a normal high school for two years! Why didn’t you even contact me? I tried to get a hold of you every time I saw you online, but you’d always leave just before I could send the message.”

“I was so busy with this school you know. This school has a ton of things wrong that need fixing. I was recruited for the student council two days after joining the school.”

“I see. So, I’ll join the Student Council if Claire does, seeing as it is necessary to do something.”

Dominic laughs, clearly enjoying my attitude.

“A ladies man to the bitter end!”

“Shut up!”

…

“So that’s how it is! Logan will be in charge of finances and everything number related, and Claire will be in charge of public relations!”

“That’s a job!?” I unintentionally retort at the weird role Claire was given.

“Trash, in a school like this, it is important for the students to know that we prioritize them and their needs.”

This girl!

That girl that said ‘This isn’t over yet!’ is now in front of me, as the vice-president.

*Thud*

I slam my head onto the table… but it was a marble slab table so…

“Uuuuggggghhhh.” My head stays on the table as I cover my head.

“So without further ado, I shall introduce the members of the student council. First, we have the head of the disciplinary committee that will sit in for most of the meetings, Amy.”

“Nice to meet you.” Quick and short. She doesn’t seem too angry… but her seriousness may be an issue for me.

“Next we have the vice-president, Sarah. She is in charge of duties that I fail to comprehend and reduces my workload by sharing my tasks. She is a second year, our junior.”

“I hope we get along Claire.” She bows slightly to Claire.

I don’t even care how I am treated. I should just not worry about it.

“Don’t talk like that to my husband!” Claire defends me again.

I grab her shoulder and force her to sit back down.

“I can defend myself Claire. No need for you to do this for me.” I stand up and walk over to Sarah. “Nice to meet you Sarah, we may gotten off on the wrong foot, but I hope we can get along. If for nothing else other than Claire’s sake.”

She turns away and goes ‘Hmph!’

“I’ll get along with you for now! But don’t misunderstand, it’s not like I want to or anything!”

I sigh as I go back to my seat. I really hope this student council will function.

“So with that, you all are dismissed!”

As Dominic says that, the bell to end lunch goes.

Ah, I have to get to English. I hate English class.

But before that, let’s calmly walk Claire to her class.

Hello everyone!

You guys should let me know what you think of the story so far.

Do you like it?

Do you hate it? 

If you hate it... why are you still here, seriously, what motivated you enough to read something you don't like? This is chapter 5, at this point, you've read about 10 000 words of almost complete bullshit. Shoo shoo.

...

Well, now that they're gone, I would like to thank several people that comment on my story. 

First of all, I thank j0nn0 for making me laugh so hard, my proofreader thought I was going insane. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it is THIS comment.

Second, I will thank RagNarok. My goal is to make you look as stupid as possible in front of all your friends, family, and occasionally some random strangers. I am glad to see that my plan is falling into place accordingly.

Finally, SudarFanboy. His comments are also funny, and just generally make my day.

Thank you to everyone else that comments! It is not just these people that are amazing. You all are.

On another note, I went to a screening for the Lazer Team movie. That was so much fun. Good ol' Gavin.

As usual. Have a great day/night!
