"You're taking that to the office, right? I'll carry half of it."

Someone spoke as I was carrying files to the front office.

"Huh? Oh, thanks..."

I said, even as a brown haired boy took half of my files away. He smiled, as I thanked him. I felt heat rise to my face, as the boy helped me. But I noticed something right as I was about to reach the office, and stopped.

"Hey... are you the famous Mizuki? The one who would do troublesome or boring things for people willingly?"

"I don't know if I was famous, but I am a Mizuki"

He confirmed with a grin. Mizuki was a person famous for doing things that many wouldn't want to willingly. Apparently, he helps people in need, and is labeled as a 'good' person.

"You didn't know? You're famous as the 'good person' who does jobs that are boring, and ones people normally wouldn't want to do!"

"Huh... I didn't know I was that famous. I'm a little embarrassed now..."

Mizuki-kun scratched his cheeks a little. "But don't mistake 'good person' with servant, ok?"

I let out a small laugh. "I would never... Have some people tried?"

"Yeah, well. Some tried to make me do their homework, or make me buy juice and bread with my money, or even just to give them money or go steal for them." Rikuo sighed. "I explained to them clearly, so that even a kinder-gardener would understand why that's not ok. It's such an embarrassment, middle-schoolers acting like this."

'Mizuki' is a very famous person in their school. A good guy that does jobs people don't want to, or helps others when they need it. Some call him 'teacher's pet', or a 'hypocrite', but that didn't seem like the case to me. He really seemed to be a good person inside, as he told me about some of the things people tried to make him do with a dark smile.

"O, Oh... Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Inuyama Mana. You're in the next class over from me. Thank you for holding half of my notes."

Mizuki-kun smiled kindly.

"Nice to meet you too, Inuyama-san. Don't worry about it, I wanted to help you. I can't make you carry such a heavy load by yourself."

"Aww, you're such a gentleman! I bet girls really like you?" I gushed. I couldn't help it, none of the boys I hang out with acts this mature. It made me respect him even more.

"No, no. It's normal to help people in need."

Our conversation ended when we got to the teacher's room. As we let the books down, another teacher called Mizuki-kun over, and asked him to do something. It's amazing how even teachers depend on him.

"I'll see you around Inuyama-san. Just ask, if you need help."

"Yup! Thanks again, Mizuki-kun!"

I left the room in a good mood. Oh, how I wish the other boys would follow a good example like him. Such a great person.

She never knew. She didn't know that in the close future, she would see a side of Rikuo that no one else in school knows about.
