Ivan's POV:
As I walked into the cafeteria I noticed so many eyes following me. Some people would turn around to whisper and stare back at me. Some looks were full of fear. Some were full of hate. Others had a hint of flirt in them. I tried to pretend like I didn't notice, but it's quite difficult when you know almost the whole school is watching you. In the far off corner of the room I see the idiot and his five goons. All of them looked my way, and then turned around. They knew very well not to mess with me again. Finally after grabbing my food, I walked to an empty table.
"Alone again..." I picked at my half burnt meat loaf.
I saw Ayame at a table with loads of her friends. All of them giggled and gossiped. I couldn't stop noticing the fact that Ayame would constantly look back at me. I didn't want to make it seem like I was watching her. Either way, it might have been a little too late for that. All of her friends looked back at me as well, and all of them giggled.
"Oh God..." I blushed and looked down at my distorted food.
I then heard Ayame...
"Hey, Ivan! Come sit with us!" She waved furiously.
Once again I looked at the jerk and his five stooges.. They all gave me dirty looks. Not one of them bothered to walk my way. So then I slowly made my way up from the table and walked over to Ayame's.
"Hey girls..." I was extremely nervous...
Every girl at the table was amazing. All of them so beautiful. Ayame seemed to be the Queen Bee of this hive.
"Ivan, this is Sarah."
Sarah was the first to catch my eye. She had long blond hair. She had a perfect figure. I don't mean to sound like a pervert or anything but she had amazing breasts. She was apparently major eye candy of the school. As I sat down, everyone leaned in towards me. I don't know if it was a girl thing, but it really freaked me out.
"I uhh.. Hi Sarah.. -and girls!" I nervously said.
All of them giggled. God, that made me so nervous.
"So uhh... What's up?" I tried to make conversation....
I heard some of the girls whispering at the other end of the table..
"He's kinda cute." They looked back at me.
I couldn't help but blush more... Every other girl was so attractive. I looked back down and picked at my dead cow nervously....
"Aww c'mon Ivan don't be shy.... Talk to us like you talk to me!"
I looked down and laughed a bit at myself... Then one of the girls did something the really freaked me out.. She laid her hand on my bicep and squeezed.
"Woah what?" I jumped out of my seat...
All the girls laughed... This was all a game to them. They liked to see how nervous they could make a guy.. Ayame looked straight at me and laughed with all of them....
"Alright, Ivan we'll be serious now.." She tried to refrain from laughing so much.
I rolled my eyes and smirked a bit.
"Yeah, let's get this over with..."
"Okay. For starters we need to get more recruits.. Four isn't enough..." She tilted her eyes in a thinking manner..
"Well who do we have so far? Obviously you and I are accounted for..."
"We need to recruit Kyosuke, and then hold tryouts..." She suggested..
"Well if it's you, me, and Kyosuke then who else would be in it to make four?"
Ayame turned to Sarah.
"She's right here Ivan! She fights too!" She smiled happily..
"Oh really? Do you have a fighting style?" I asked excitedly..
Sarah looked at me and smiled.
"Well of course I do... It's a combination of Kickboxing and Judo.." She said seductively..
She flipped her hair, held it to her cheek and looked at me again.. She had me in a trance... I had a hard time looking away. I even realized that she looked at me up and down, yet it still didn't distract me...
"I uhh- umm... Yeah I think we got this settled... So we get Kyosuke during Physics class and start the tryouts after school?" I shook my head from her trance.
"Mmhmm! We'll catch up to him in a bit." Ayame exclimated with a flirty tone...
The bell rang signifying that lunch was over. Ayame and all of her friends got up and gathered their things. As Sarah was walking away, she turned for a split second more.... She smiled... and winked.. Again, I blushed... I threw my half eaten lunch away and continued on to Physics class with Ayame.
I walked in and saw Kyosuke sitting at our corner of the classroom. Ayame quickly rushed to his adjacent desk...
"So what's up Champion C Rank?" Ayame teased..
"Oh nothi-- WHAT!?" Kyosuke almost jumped out of his seat.
Ayame laughed as Kyosuke almost had a heart attack..
"Yeah Kyo, we know all about it.. After Ayame accidentally blurted out the good news to me earlyer..." I sarcastically pointed out..
Kyosuke had a puzzled look on his face. He had no idea that someone from the academy would find out...
"Guys you all can't tell a SOUL! Got that?! Or I'll tear you down Ivan..." His crosshair brows aimed at me.
"I'd like to see you try C Rank..." I crossed my arms with no worries..
"Well Ivan.. This is how I'm gonna recruit Kyosuke! I'm a genius huh?" Ayame happily stated..
"Ayame, if you tell anyone then I'll get kicked from the school! Most likely even arrested!" Kyosuke exclaimed..
"That's why I'm not gonna tell anyone Kyo!" Ayame smiled..
"Wait what?" Kyoske's face seemed to never become any less complex..
"Kyosuke, I'm blackmailing you... Join my martial arts club and I won't tell anyone I already have!"
Kyosuke's face seemed to lose a bit of worry.
"Alright, Ayame.. You win." He put his hands up in defeat..
"So now that's all settled! Welcome to the club! Let's try to make it as big as possible!!"
I couldn't pass up the challenge Kyosuke gave me.
"Hey Kyo.."I whispered...
"What?"
"I accept your challenge..."
Kyosuke laughed..
"Well, I don't think you can beat me... But I wouldn't mind letting you try..." Kyosuke playfully, egotistically, responded.
