April 20
Today Okumura-kun got into a fight with mohawk guy (Bon apparently). It was pretty interesting though I think Bon's setting the bar high for a stranger, It was funny hearing Okumura-kun to try and defend himself, even Okumura-sensei seemed amused by the situation. Izumo lectured me about my uniform though...I don't like closing the blazer at all...even Paku said I should at try fixing my sloppy ribbon,I'll start wearing a tie from this day onwards...
"Nise-san, Excellent work." Okumura-sensei said as he handed back my paper with full marks on it," Though please do refrain from eating in class."
"Hehehe...sorry,Sensei." I apologized and walked back to my desk showing my test paper to Izumo and Paku who congratulated me on my scores. Everything was fine until Bon decided to insult Okumura-kun, Paku looked worried that a fight might break-out but I patter her hand and said,"Best not to get involve, Paku."
"But Rui-tan..."
"She's right,Paku it's better for us to not get involve with something stupid." Izumo said and I laughed weakly at that,
"Izumo...that's a bit..."
The class ended with no one getting beaten up at the same time I still haven't introduced myself to Okumura-kun. I sighed and decided to do it the next time a chance came up, on the other hand I invited Paku and Izumo to eat snacks with me at the canteen.
"They're serving pudding and I kinda wanna eat some ramen today..."I said.
"Ah, Sure we'll go with you." Izumo replied and we all got our bags and headed out of the room.
The canteen was not full of students even so, seeing that there was no line on the register made me walk towards it with a determined look. I silently reiterated what my order would be and steeled myself for not fucking it up.
"Ah-um, I'd like to have one pork ramen please and pudding too." I said nervously.
The cashier punched it in and asked me if I wanted to add anything else, I answered,"Iced tea too please."
Izumo and Paku ordered pork ramen as well though Izumo opted out of the dessert, citing something about diet. The three of us sat down on an empty table and began chatting as well as talking about homeworks that needed to be done since we all shared the same class in the normal school.
"Ah~ Even though class is just starting there's already a homework...so tiring." I complained as I slurped my noodles.
"Now, now, Rui-tan. I'm sure you'll do fine in our regular school work." Paku comforted me but I just smiled at her not at all feeling confident with myself.
"By the way, I've noticed you started bringing your sword with you every where now..."Izumo pointed out.
"Ah...ever since the commotion on the first day, I thought it'd be a pain if I wasn't prepared at all times so..." I trailed off and ended it with a shrug.
"That's true though I thought you'd pick your bow over the sword." Paku commented and I nodded along as I ate my ramen.
Wiping my mouth, I then replied,"But bringing a bow and arrow is too much of a pain though..."
Paku giggled and Izumo sighed at my laziness,"Sheesh, If you're that lazy, I'd end up worrying about you in a fight."
"Hahaha! Hearing that from Izumo really warms my heart!" I told Izumo honestly enjoying how easily she blushed.
"Izumo-chi is a tsundere isn't she,Paku-chan~!" I said to Paku who agreed with me making Izumo retort at us while still blushing.
"Anyways, We'll have practical athletics next and would you be fine during that period?" Izumo asked once all of us finished teasing each other. Paku looked at me and I blinked back at them.
"Eh?"
"Rui-tan..." Paku sighed.
"This kid..."Izumo said with her eyes twitching in mild annoyance.
"Ahahahahaha...haha...um, is that optional?" I asked with a faltering smile.
More than anything else, I've always sucked with physical education.
"Rui."
"Uwaaaa! Izumo-sama please have mercy~!" I exclaimed.
"Get yourself together!"
"Uuuu...Yes,yes." I said as I finished off my ramen with a resigned look while Izumo sat back and huffed while Paku looked unsure. Of course, knowing my luck I ended up being made to run with Okumura-kun and Bon during Practical Atheletics.
"Rui-tan, you can do it!" I heard Paku shout and I smiled lazily as I continued jogging behind Bon not at all worried at the disgusting frog demon behind us.
Okumura-kun was running at a fast pace in front of us, all the while boasting to Bon. It was entertaining if not a bit annoying since Bon was blocking my way.
"Rui! Run faster, you can overtake them!" Izumo said loudly and I laughed at that.
"Got it~ Paku-chan, Izumo-chi~!" I said waving at them from the grounds, Bon looked back at me and said,
"You too! Take this seriously!"
"Hah~? Life is too short for me too take it way too seriosuly y'know?" I retorted without loosing my pace, "More importantly, focus on your competition with Okumura-kun and leave me outta it!"
I ended up running side by side with Bon, making Izumo and Paku cheer for me.
"Heh, Rui-chan's pretty good~" I heard Shima say and I maintained my poker face.
"What's with that though?" Izumo asked, probably referring to the rivalry of Okumura-kun and Bon, I laughed at that softly and slowly picked up my pace.
"Who knows?" Paku replied.
Just as I was about to overtake Bon, Okumura-kun provoked him which ended up with Bon kicking him in the back. I let out a surprised,"Uwaaaah~!", though it sounded emotionless, I smirked at their antics and decided to overtake them both at once. I ran faster, jumped and then stepped on Bon's shoulder just as I felt the frog close the distance.
I ended up soaring through the air before landing on my feet 10 meters away from Okumura-kun and Bon who got lectured at by the creepy looking teacher. I walked back towards Izumo and Paku who remained seated on the ledge of the rink.
"You did great,Rui." Izumo said with a smile and I blushed under her compliments while Paku handed me a water bottle and towel.
I greedily drank the water and thanked them both for their support. Then I listened on the conversation between Shima-kun, Konekomaru-kun and Okumura-kun, it seemed that they were talking about the Blue Night, I decided to watch Okumura-kun's reaction and found it interesing. Then Bon came over and started another round of fight, though Shima-kun and Konekomaru-kun decided to chastise their friend.
"Idiots." Izumo murmured and I agreed with her.
I sighed thinking that nothing would happen until Bon decided to challenge Rin in doing some sort of test with the Leaper. Catching everyone's attention and somehow the class turned out to be more dangerous than possible.
"Is he an idiot or something?" I mumbled recognizing how agitated he was though I did applaud Okumura-kun's show of level-headedness at that time.
"Is he serious?" Paku asked worriedly, I shrugged and opted to not answer.
"Oh, He'll just end up backing off. What an idiot..." Izumo replied nonchalantly and we all watched what would happen next as Bon walked towards the disgusting frog with an obviously hesistant stance.
"I'm gonna defeat Satan!" Bon said which got my attention.
I let out a soft exhale while Izumo laughed at his declaration. Just then I realized that the he was in the range of the Leaper,
"Bon get out of the way!" I screamed as I slid down the rink to help him but before I could even reach him, Okumura-kun had blocked the Leaper's attack and saved Bon. Everyone panicked and I hurried towards Okumura-kun silently noting that his first name was Rin just as the Leaper let go of him.
I blinked and halted at my steps as Rin-kun began lecturing Bon on his stupidity, I chuckled at their antics and told them to quickly get out of the rink before the creepy teach got back. I ended up talking with Rin-kun and introducing myself to him, I apologized to Bon and asked to see Rin-kun's injuries. He got off lightly I think considering that he barely has any blood stains on his shirt.
April 21
Today Rin-kun and Bon became friends, I think everyone's growing up a bit day by day. I'm really having fun at Cram school. It was funny too seeing how Okumura-sensei reacted to Rin-kun studying in class, well when I first saw him do it, I silently wondered if there was a test that were supposed to take today though when I had asked Shiemi-san. I could feel Okumura-sensei look at me with questioning eyes...I'm sorry sensei, I probably don't fit in your mold of an ideal student despite my grades.
