The next day - Break Time

I was in the classroom chatting with vampire Shun, just like always.

Yuu: Hey, Shun. What do you think about joining my Supernatural Research Club?

I showed him the Club Registration Form.

Yuu: I already filled everything, so you just have to sign it. Here, Here. Sign it here.

I pointed at the paper. I even gave him my 'lucky' pen. Why is it lucky? That's easy. It's because it was the only pen in my bag, that still had some ink left.

Shun: ...

And just like always he ignored me.

Yuu: Come on, don't be shy.

I smiled brightly.

Yuu: If you join my club, you'll get to see all sorts of supernatural stuff. We will learn about the various types of vampires you might not know yet and a lot of other creatures and magical phenomenons, we will talk about our experiences, and share our knowledge.

Shun: ...

He kept silent and stared at the window.

I grabbed his arms and shook him a few time.

Yuu: Hey, don't ignore me. You'll miss out on all the fun. I plan to do all sorts of experiments on you after you join the club. We will have a blast. Who knows you might learn something about yourself you never knew about.

Shun: ...

I saw his lips slightly moving.

Yuu: What? Did you say something?

Shun: ... Annoying. How may times do I have to tell you I'm not a vampire.

He shook my hands off. Then he took the registration form, crumpled it into a ball and threw it behind him.

Yuu: Huh?

I blinked.

Shun: I won't join your stupid club. Leave me alone.

Yuu: W-Wait a minute!

I rushed behind and grabbed the paper ball from the floor.

Yuu: Why did you do this? It's all crumpled and ruined now. Well, don't worry I brought some spares.

I took out a number of spare register forms from my bag and showed them to him proudly.

Yuu: Here, use one of these.

I handed him the fresh sheet of paper, expecting him to fill it. He didn't move. He didn'r even spare it a glance.

Yuu: Come on, give it a try.

I grabbed his hand with mine and put the pen in it. I felt his body tremble a bit. Was he shy?

Yuu: Here, sign it.

I waited for him to write his name. But he didn't.

Shun: I'm not interested. Give it a rest already!

He struggled his hand free from mine and walked towards the exit.

Yuu: Hey, wait! You can't ditch the lectures again!

I followed him to the door and tried to stop him.

Shun: You are so annoying! I'm just going to the bathroom.

Yuu: .O-oh, I see. That's good, then.

He pushed me aside and went out.

Yuu: Ouch.

I was still standing there when I heard the door slam shut.

Yuu: ...

I looked around the room. The whole class was glaring at me. They were probably wondering what we talked about.

"Uwaah, she is so creepy."

"Seriously, can's she just stop? She is bothering Shun too much."

"What a weirdo. I wonder why she is doing that?"

"Hey, hey. Isn't she like, embarassed or something? Grabbing Shun just like that?"

"Right? Right? How can she even look herself in the mirror after doing all that nonsense everyday."

It sounded like some girls in my class were making a noise, but I ignored them.

I sighed and walked back to my seat.

Yuu: Was I too pushy?

I whispered to myself. I grabbed the registration forms and put them in my bag.

Then I slapped my cheeks soundly.

Yuu: Alright! There will be other opportunities to make him join the club. He had a sister Mika, right? I will invite her later too.

I steeled my resolve and waited for the break to end.

Unfortunately Shun didn't return to class today. I had to tell him again tomorrow that it was wrong to ditch school repeatedly.
