Chapter two: Student Council, one hour with an overambitious prick '

The Student Council meeting was held directly after School every Wednesday, it was more or less a rule that the members where to be in designated room 15 minutes after class ended and no later. This was the rule or else the student president would shew the unlucky bastard out.

"Good afternoon everyone we have a very important matter to discuss." Katayama Katsuya stated in his business like voice. His secretary the senior from class 3-2, Asō looked deadpanned at her supposed "president". The Treasurer Noda looked also worried peeking through his dark hair to glance at Katayama, meanwhile the other two seniors just sighed. The entire room had been filled with all the representatives from every class, half of the participants looked bored out of their minds, others were nervous and a few exited glances came from the new class representatives, both class 1-5, 2-3 and 2-4 had changed their representatives. Osamu believed that their precious president played a large part in that.

"Today we are here to discuss the importance of the schools distribution of the different clubs." Katayama stated, the seriousness in his voice was so apparent and the tension in the room could be cut with a knife.

Katayama had turned the whiteboard around for everyone to see and written out all the schools current clubs alongside said budget. Like a general ready to give order Katayama stood with a pointer directing the attention to the different parts of the board.

"During the last trimester I have been receiving complaints from many of the schools different clubs about the unfair divided between the money that we currently have to distribute. As members of the student council it is our duty to make sure that all the extracurricular activities are respected and given a fair amount to each. But we also need to prioritize where the money should go, what is the most urgent that needs to fixed or purchased." A girl that represented the class of 2-1 rose from her seat.

"The swim team has been complaining about the current filters in the pool, they don't work like it should and there have been days when there have been algae in the pool." She stated not entirely prepared for what Katayama would do next.

"I see, that is a problem." Katayama said and nodded his head still keeping his face serious.

"We need to fix this problem immediately, algae in the schools pool could damage the reputation of the school not to mention it could also make the council look like we do not prioritize the students safety and I will not allow that to happen. No I will ensure that this school shall be the best in the entire region and we will make sure that will happen." The passion of his voice and the dramatic poses the senior did weirded out part of the council especially the green horns that where there for the first time. Osamu looked deadpanned at the self-proclaimed ruler of the school.

"Kaicho you are overreacting." Second president Kishi said not even looking up from her note book.

"I am merely stating facts Kishi-san." Katayama said and sounded almost insulted by her comment.

No, stating the obvious would be just saying that we needed new filters. You began speaking about it like the school would go to hell if it weren't fixed yesterday. Thank kami for Kishi-san at least she can keep her head straight.

"Ano, Kaicho-san." The hesitant voice of the class 1-4 representative caught Osamu's attention.

"Hai, Katsura-san do you have any important information about one of the clubs?"

" Yes, umm, it's about the Basketball team I have gotten complaints about their uniforms, the club would like to get new ones, they say that they are all torn up and they need to be replaced." The quiet girl said her eyes still slightly downcast avoiding looking the president in the eye.

" I will look into it, but those uniforms they are waring where ordered during my first year, I will have a look into it and decide if they are so torn that replacement is necessary. But it shall be done do not worry." Katayama said reassuringly, however Katsura looked almost distressed by the answer.

"But isn't it better to replace them?" The quiet girl said trying to push her suggestion through.

"If we replaced all the clubs uniforms the second we got a complaint then we would be switching every sport clubs uniform every six month if not more often. That would mean most of the culture clubs would have to divide the scraps of what is left between them. Do you understand Katsura – san?" He said sternly, looking directly at the young girl. Once again like a rabbit she withdrew and tried her best to make herself smaller where she was standing.

"Hai." The girl said quietly sat back down, looking a bit deflated.

"Now then on with the matters at hand." Katayama said as he began preaching again about us doing our job would be crucial for the school's reputation and everyone's own health that we did our job properly. After a few more students gave reasons why a specific club needed more money than some, the school radio board wanted new sound equipment because the speakers where getting old, more models and hired artist for the artistic. I was only partly tuned into what he was saying. Knowing fully well that Hara would give me all the info that I needed later. The president of class 1-1 was seated beside me and discreetly slides a piece of paper over to me.

How long do you think his speech will be this time? – Hara

I quickly wrote directly underneath his question. Smiling lightly at the question and sarcastically I responded to my friend.

Are you even surprised anymore? This happens about every time the council gathers? – Terauchi

So how does another 20 minutes sound? Are you betting more or less? - Hara

Less, Kishi-san looks ready to slam his face into the whiteboard if he continues on much longer. -Terauchi

Deal. The winner will have to buy the loser lunch.- Hara

He looked at the black haired boy, Hara's pale freckled stained face was in a smug grim, dark brown eyes had a mischievous glint in them. Osamu wrote one last thing on the page and sent it back to his friend to read.

Jackass.- Terauchi

Takes one to know one. – Hara

At that Hara stuck out his tongue to tease his dear friend. Osamu did the same by mimicking Hara.

They soon stopped feeling a presence right behind them; much to their horror the President had noticed the two of them passing notes. He was not pleased to say the least.

"Kaicho." Terauchi said feeling a drop of sweat make its way down his face.

"Tell me Terauchi Osamu-kun, am I interrupting you and Hara Zenkichi-sans discussion?"

"Oh no, not at all." Osamu said feeling put on the spot.

"I suggest that you two stay after the meeting and run ten laps around the schools track."

"Kaicho. We have to leave after the meeting we have things planned." Hara said trying to reason with Katayama.

"Would you rather do twenty?"

"We'll do them." Osamu and Hara answered looking at the president. When the president had the answer he wanted he smiled and went back to the whiteboard. The meeting had lasted a little over an hour and all of the students left feeling a bit exhausted, mostly from having the president peaching half of the meeting. What could be seen on the school tracks were two boys running circles until the sun was no longer on the horizon.

"So, are you ready to go home?" Hara asked as he picked up his messenger bag. Osamu lay panting on the grass having spurted the last two laps unlike Hara that conserved his energy.

"I still have some things to finish up here. You go ahead, I'll see you tomorrow." Osamu said to his friend. He rose from his resting spot and stood up and slung the book bag over his shoulder.

"Sure I'll see you and Yoshirō tomorrow." With that the black haired boy waved off his friend and left him to his own devices. As soon as the black haired boy left Osamu went back into his classroom went to the back of the classroom and found his seat along with his math book.

"Itai!" The sound of papers and books hitting the floor and the female voice was familiar to him. He turned the corner he had just passed and he saw Katsura Kotonoha crouching on the floor picking up the papers and items scattered on the floor. Osamu walked over and began picking up. The girl turned her head when she heard the distinct could of paper being picked up.

"Terauchi-san?"

"You looked like you could use some help, do you mind?

"No, I just don't want to bother you."

"Hey I came here of my own free will, besides we are both in the student counsel so we are supposed to help each other."

"Oh, um, arigato."

"No problem, but how come you haven't gone home yet?"

"I just had some things to do, Noda san asked me to see when that order for the latest set basketball clothes where ordered and how much they costed a piece, along with other materials." She stated her voice still quite low.

"I see."

"Ne, Terauchi-san why are you still here?" She asked.

"I stayed behind to finish on my math, as much as I hate that blasted thing better to do it and try ones best then just scribble some numbers and hope for the best." I said

"Are you and Hara-san alright?" She asked concerned.

"It takes a bit more than some running to kill me, and Hara might look frail but looks can be deceiving." I said jokingly. She looked at me with those big red tinted eyes of her.

"Oh, I see." She said a bit uncomfortable. We had picked up every scrap of paper and she began walking towards the teachers' room where she would put them back in order. I followed her with the rest of the papers and placed them on one of the teacher's desk.

" Would you like some help."

"No, no I am alright. You have done so much already, arigato." She said and returned to put the papers in order. The silence was unnerving, even if it was just a minute or two it felt far longer.

"So Katsura how do you get home?"

"I take the train."

"Would you like some company? I usually take the train to my house too."

"No I am fine, thank you though."

"Ok, are you sure?"

"Um, hai."

"Ok I'll see you later. Good night." I said as I made my way out the school. I walked slower than normal, I sent a text message home about me being a bit late for dinner and continued on. I heard the clicking of heals behind me. I saw Katsura she soon was only a few feet away from me.

"Ano, Terauchi- san sorry to bother you could I walk with you." She said looking over her shoulder.

"Sure, I don't mind." She looked a bit more at ease but she was still on high alert. Quietly we walked towards the station, whatever had her spooked before was still lingering in her mind. He himself looked back to see what it could have been only to see nothing but shadows. However one of them appeared to be moving, his eyes narrowed, her pursuer was still there.

"Katsura-san whatever you do, do not look behind you." He said quietly.

"Huh?" She was surprised he would request something like that.

"Keep focus ahead, if he sees you are scared he will keep following." She did that but her nervousness was apparent, she looked ready to run at the snap of a twig. However for many the chase is the interesting part, if she ran, 'the shadow' might catch her.

We finally made it to the lit streets and to the train station this time I looked back and saw no one, the shadow gave up. Both of use breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's gone now." He stated more to himself than to her.

"Thank God." She said her eyes finally filled with relief. She turned towards her companion and gave a small smile.

"Arigato gozaimasu." She said with a small bow.

"It was nothing." I said slightly embarrassed, I felt my cheeks heat up I however hoped that she wouldn't notice it. Suddenly I heard the speakers mention the arrival of a train.

"That is my train." She said. It soon rolled in and she walked onboard.

"I see you tomorrow, sleep well Katsura-san." I said she looked a bit surprised at me but smiled and gave a quick nod before the door closed and she was whisked away.

I stood there at the station waiting for my own train to take me home. My mother had gotten the message I sent and she knew I was on my way. My own train soon arrived and made my way back home. Today had been interesting.
