Author's Initial Notes

I'm sorry guys... I was thinking about the next chapter, but I was without internet because I lacked energy... That is, I was without electricity, with a thunderous storm running wild and uncreative. LOL

This chapter of history has caught me a lot. I still think I did not do everything I wanted and the way I wanted to do...

Well, I'd rather publish something now than spend a lot of time stuck in this work without developing anything.

Think of this chapter as a more clichéd form of transitional phase of the plot. I would say we are getting to the first shocking point of this fic. ^^

This chapter gave me a lot of work !

Chapter 09 - A Wrong Action? How to Understand a Girl?

Sora was practically the first to arrive at the academy... He even saw Mr. Freeman finish arranging the materials needed for this day.

Close to the boy, a few students also made their way to the entrances of this large building... But Sora did not recognize any of them. Then all that remained was to move on to the classroom of this first period.

What he did not expect, in the midst of his Rock Roll sound playing on the headphones he was still listening to, was being caught by a hand on his shoulder.

The shock almost made him drop the sound adapter attached to his Duel Dick that was stored in the backpack behind him.

"Owahhh... S-sorry. I did not mean to scare you. But I did not expect you to be so fearful, either. Is it serious? Do you scare yourself so easily?"

"Ahn? I did not understand! W-wait a little, let me lower the sound here. "

With that, the young lad turned off the sonorous flow of his ears as he pulled out the earplugs that sent out so many beeps.

"Phew, I even like good music, but I admit that this one is a very aggressive rock. And I left the sound too loud. Well well. Ah yes. Good Morning-".

"Good morning to you too. and what an astonished face is this? Have not you got over the fright...? "

"No, that's not it. is that I did not expect to see such a beautiful face in the morning like this. "

"Haha... Hilary, Sora. Now, why do not you stop all this flattery and tell me something more productive? A good example of a normal and enjoyable dialogue for an early morning is... What are you, exactly you, doing so early in school? "

"Humph. As if I should explain. But just because I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you. I woke up too early today and then I decided to face these classes soon. Ready. History end. I was bored at home... ".

"Damn, you do not have to be so rude to me."

"Sorry. I think the song made me very energetic."

"Oh. And what kind of music is this for you to be so defensive and at the same time troublemaker? "

"W-well. That's it. Do you want to listen? Here, take this earphone. I like strong songs and full of adrenaline, so I can not say with conviction, but I think you'll like it. "

"Hm... Till it's a cool sound. I just think this sound height is right for the eardrums. "

"Uh? Oh yeah. The loud sound, sorry. I'll go down a little. "

...

A few minutes passed as the two teens sought a place to sit down and enjoy music more comfortably, until classes began.

"Hey, Sora."

"Hi, you can talk."

"What do you think is cool about a girl?"

"W-What? As well...?".

"Do not know. I just kept thinking about it. Hey, now I remembered! You still have not compensated me for the fact that happened a few days ago. I want something very effective. And you better do it the way I do not get upset over it."

"Again on this subject. Erika-san. Can you at least tell me what I owe you? Or at least why am I owing you? I do not understand this. I do not remember that... Please, baby. Please... ".

"Oh, stop singing the song to try to get away with it. You will not convince me otherwise. That was without my consent and that I can not let go of grace. "

"But I...".

"I do not want any excuses! If you can not even apologize for doing so, then I misjudged you. And that can not continue like this. "

"Since that's the way it is, even though I'm not even aware of what's happening, I apologize for whatever it is and..."

He was thinking she wanted something else. She thought he was refusing some sort of proposal from her that suggested something more romantic for them to do.

Even in the face of this moment of shameful talk and embarrassing dialogue between him and her about this possible debt, Sora still apologized and proposed not to intimidate her further about whatever it was all about. Even one not understanding the other, it still made some sense there.

A little away from them two, many young students also began to arrive at the school, since the normal time for this was approaching.

And among these many students was a person who was very excited and stimulated by the duel of a few days behind Sora. Such a person was not very skillful in Speed Duels, but he liked the mechanics and impressive possibility that such sporting modality could present.

This girl had long blue and silky hair. She also had a silver fringe on her hair that covered her forehead. Her eyes were a caramel-colored hue. It was a mixture of beauty that made her look soft and sweet to her. In addition, she wore the traditional gym uniform.

Her name is Juliet Menezes.

On another normal day of classes, she ended up finding the boy who had inspired her since that duel. Sora. As soon as she saw him sitting there doing something, Juliet soon ran until he reached him. She wanted to get some questions and learn more about the boy's style. They had not talked much before and she had not seen him in action, in addition to this duel with the other boy, who was also very talented, Andrew.

"Sora-kuuuun. Ohayo! Hey, Sora-kun. I really wanted to talk to you since your Tuesday duel with Andrew-kun. Could you help me with some questions and... Oh, sorry. I-I had not seen that you two were busy... " - 'And solving something so close to each other. Oh no. I messed something up!'.

Juliet ended up intruding, not even noticing it, even when they were both alone and almost starting to really understand each other. Both were more or less feeling what the other wanted to say, but that was still missing.

When they were about to have a resolution on this complicated subject of the conversation, behold a person arose to disrupt them. Of course, that had not been purposeful, but it still did.

This girl wanted to congratulate him on the show and ask for some tips on how to duel so spontaneously and angrily, as well as so much adrenaline because it is a Speed Duel.

She timidly acknowledged the great mistake of intruding without realizing the circumstances surrounding the environment. Of course, that was something from her perspective. This was her opinion when she noticed such a scene before her there. That was the kind of thing few students would normally do so publicly.

Of course, the fact that the boy's headphones were short could easily be the answer to such closeness. But that was a detail overshadowed by Juliet's 'fantasizing novelist' mode.

To try to remedy this, this girl soon tried to put some less-loaded matter back to this meeting of the three present.

"Uh... Oh, yes. I learned that you, Sora-kun, could not get the contents of the lesson from the first and second lessons of yesterday. Eh, so... I thought, if you're in need and interested, I can help you with that, since I was in those classes yesterday. "

"Oh really. Arigatou, Juliet-san. I would really be happy to have less of this problem to torment me this week. I'm already having too much trouble to solve in such a short time. "

"Good to know that. I'm glad that I can offer help in the face of this problem and I can collaborate with the missing content of the lesson you missed. Here it is. I'll lend you these notes from my notebook. "

The academy's method of passing on content and the general approach to homework and study materials still consisted of the good, outdated way of writing in a notebook.

Many lessons will be better learned and memorized with this kind of 'content rooting', which is better quality in the most effortful way of jotting down paragraph by paragraph.

Still... Many of these lessons were also required on drives and better technology mobilities. But this was not the case this time...

"Yeah, yeah. Thanks again. I am forever in your debt...".

A disconcerting silence became present after such speeches. This was very strange and unpleasant. It's well that in the morning of classes the moods of teenagers would not be very high, but that was very extreme.

'Why are the two faces so sullen? Did I say something I should not? Oh, I may have offended and messed up more than it seems... No, no... I did not do that...? Great, nosy girl! You came at the wrong time ... Congratulations to myself'.

It was only after Juliet started to look at them again and talk a lot of gossip to try to solve this complex dilemma present in the no longer so friendly environment that she realized that the strange climate that was enveloped by all three aliens was still unchanged and she knew at once that she had messed something up. Something that could be so much more important than a simple 'wait for class to start'.

Juliet was then convinced that she would need to insist on apologizing to Erika for the whole way until she left the high school area and beyond the exit door until her ways diverged. If necessary, she will have to do this even when it is time to leave school and both go to their homes.

A few minutes passed like this in this weather. And they were not even listening to the music through the headphones. Well, at least it was long lasting and fun for the time it took. Right?

Wrong...

Erika was pissed after this with him. It was clearly disconcerting... This was similar to some kind of jealousy, but she did not care that much about him. Yet she also wanted his attention at that moment, and perhaps also helps to learn how to duel in that electrifying and radical way.

She was a smart girl and knew how to make the most of life's opportunities. And she wanted to choose and prove the greatest diversity of knowledge and appropriate stimuli in this life.

But sometimes, overflow with a lot of excitement in a sport that can be very rewarding, such as skateboarding and taking advantage of the adrenaline rush that a Speed Duel can provide, is an indescribable and desirable sensation for anyone. So much has she been forced to charge such 'debt' through this favor of training and amusement with him...

But, no... He had to ruin all the weather and chance for such an expectation of radical amusement. And the worst of it was that he was giving full attention to himself and just talking to this new girl... Unnecessary frustration, of course. But that was still a frustration. And it would deserve a retaliation the height.

"Orrr! Okay, Sora. Since you're 'so busy' like that, I'm not going to bother you like this anymore. Do whatever you want. No need to repay me for anything! Ignorant idiot... ".

With this 'outburst of humor', the already frosty and weird climate became a thunderstorm of sharp needles, conveyed by the girl's hurt look.

She wanted that moment to be to improve such friendship between them, something that she did not even know if she wanted to keep with him. At least until such anger for the boy to pass ... Before that, she would not talk to him. Lots of childishness of her, alright. But one girl should not be ignored and 'changed' by another. Never...

...

A strange and uncomfortable climate. That was the perfect definition of these minutes before the school day begins.

Each one of them was weird with the other and they did not understand anything. The girl then gives up and starts to leave, to prepare for the class that is to begin soon-after. And he has to stay and fulfill the condition of the detention, which was to complete all the homework and homework he received this week, so as not to have more annoyances...

With loud breaths and steady and coarse footprints in the poor soil of the grass below the feet of such girl, much more than irritated and frustrated, behold Sora had one of the greatest understandings that any boy can have in this life.

This was yet another of the catastrophic events that were stressing his day these days... Something always happened that hurt him.

'I really can not understand the girls.'

Author's Final Notes

I've been writing this chapter and things just happened... For example. That part of their music and interaction, I did it all right now. ^^

Well, I thought it was cute and sweet. Besides, the two are not cold characters... They have a lot of personality, a very strong personality and even arrogant.

I acknowledge I have left things here very futile and 'exhibitionist'. I do not particularly like to create works that are so sweet and unimpressive, but every good work has script difficulties. T.T

Until the next chapter, guys!
