The summer was soon beginning yet I wasn't prepared for it, maybe I don't want to enjoy the summer? The trees are starting to grow into greenish again, the birds were chirping, the street was filled with nothing but few people here and there. The old women never failed to pour water on her flower every morning, she greet me with a smile, a genuine smile and her husband who seemed old as her, unfolded the iron door indicating that shop was now open. He also greeted me with a smile. I greeted them back and then head to the school.
I would say they are truly a happy couple, How I wish I had it also.
While I was heading towards my class in the second block I could hear my own footstep echoing and I didn't even see a person in any class in second block. It is no surprise now, I am truly the only one who reaches the school and the class first. You won't get this feeling of calmness, alone and breathtaking scene of classroom which has faint sunrays from the window, no noise, no eyes, just a silent class, How I wish the time would stay like this forever.
This is supposed to be my class now?
*TAP TAP TAP*
The disturbance is early today, I wonder who might it be?
I opened and started to read the book, it was great way to avoid conversation.
The door slide towards left behind that door came a student of male gender with bed hairs. Did he forgot to wash his face? He didn't even notice me and threw his bag onto the table and sat on the chair in front of it. Sadly I couldn't see his face, only his hairs.
"That little brat! It wasn't even 8 and had me worried for nothing. I knew something was off, who would have thought that she would change the time to two hours early." He sighed," A background character should be always neither late nor early, like everyone else yet I am here, I better hide myself somewhere before someone comes in." He left without noticing me.
I could finally let out my laugh, I was holding it so much.
I made sure I wasn't laughing out loud, it was bit of reserved laugh. Been a while since I last laughed.
Hour pass by, the classroom became louder and louder yet he wasn't back. Come to think of it, what was he talking about early in the morning, something about background character? Somehow that made me a little bit curious about him.
Wait, Why am I so curious about him? I don't even know his name.
I had my lunch at the empty classroom, has better environment with no people here and there, fresh air and since it is located at the corner of the top building, it was silent and peaceful place.
After the lunch, the class took longer than I expected and even after the class is over, I went to the staff room to ask the part I didn't understand clearly to individual subject teacher which include Mathematics, English and Biology. I thanked the teachers and then head to my class.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
It didn't took me long enough to reach the class, carry my bag and then head to home. My home was a bit far from the school so I had to take bus to reach. The bus only took 20-30 minutes and then I had to walk a few minutes before I can finally relax at my house.
"I am back." It has become a habit now.
I should cook Omurice tonight, do I have all the things to make it? A sticky note on the fridge interrupted me.
It stated,' I am really sorry, Ayu, I thought I could make it today but some urgent work came. I have some Sushi ordered, please heat it before you eat. Again, I am really sorry, I will make up for it! :)'
She always breaks her promise, well, it is not like I expected that she will actually spend time with her daughter, I am grown up, I don't need her affections. Yes, that's right. But Why do I feel so sad?
"Ayu, today you are going to eat a Sushi."
Later I took bath, it felt refreshing after a long day.
Omurice sound good for tomorrow's lunch.
I studied for a few hour before I finally let myself on the bed.
I never asked her to be with me, let her do what she wants. Come to think of it, I had an interesting counter today morning, I should have at least took a look at his face. Well, I do know his voice though, hope this can help me identify him.
*Beep, Beep*
My vision was blurred, I focus my energy onto my eyes and saw it was 6AM.
Time to wake up. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, made myself omurice for the lunch and took bread and butter for breakfast. I always leave early so I could meet the granny and old man. That concludes my everyday life until today during the lunch period I was asked to meet the class teacher.
"Hiromi-Chan, You don't have a club activity right?"
"Yes, Sensei." I responded.
"Good then, I want you to be the co-leader of this club." She showed me a submission paper for the club.
"What is the name of the club? What does it do?"
"Peer Helper Club."
"Eh? I humbly decline your offer Sensei. I am no position to help others and I am very busy with my works."
"I humbly decline your rejection. Judging from what you wrote in the essay, I can't allow you to reject me and I have already placed your name in the club, if you don't report to the club everyday, your social grade will be lower than anyone. I guarantee you that it will effect when you apply to college."
"You are blackmailing me, do you know that?"
"Am I? As long as it helps my students, I think it is okay." She keep smiling towards me.
"Fine, I will join."
"Be sure to go to your club after class."
"By the way, where is it located sensei?"
"Where you eat lunch."
"Did you stalk me or what?"
"Nope, I happen to see you."
"Fine, I am leaving then."
"Good luck, have fun!"
I left the classroom and realized that I forgot to ask who the other member was.
After the class, I went to the club room and to my surprise there was no one in the room but a long table with few stools.
Did I misheard something?
As soon as I sat on the stool, the door suddenly opened, behind that door came a boy who seemed to be same height as me.
"Eh? She didn't told me there would be heroine here. Damn it that old hag!" He looked frustrated.
He sat on the stool and didn't utter a word. He and I was pretty far, he sat on the edge of the left corner and I sat on the right corner.
We kept this awkward moment, while I was reading books, he was sleeping, resting his face on right palm. After an hour the club finally ended, it finally set me free.
I expected that he would took the key and close the door after he left. I didn't disturb him and left the key near him.
Come to think of it, I think I heard his voice, Wait I heard that tone, he is that Background character wannabe!
That is how my everyday life got ruined after joining a club...
