Author's Note: Hello again everyone! How's the first chapter? Well I know that there are little "lust thingies" and in fact there will be lots of upcoming "Mature contents" (but not that exaggerated) sooner but with sense and story of course. I don't intend to focus on "perverted acts" alone! XD! Well, those events will happen after a few chapters more. I hope you'll enjoy this chapter. 8)
Note: Ratings may change to "M" later on.
Chapter 2: The Day before Z-Day 2
"Criiing! Criiing!" The school bell can be heard ringing as a sign that the last period will end. Before the last period teacher stood, he left an assignment that must be submitted on our next meeting. It's tiring to do an assignment but I have nothing to do about it since I'm just a mere student. -.-
We packed our things as soon as he left. I texted my best friends to meet me at the Student Council Office upon going to there, saying that I received another reward (punishment) again for being late. I left as soon as I already sent the message to them, striding upon looking at the Office that is about 10 meters away.
As soon as I arrived, I immediately opened the door and normally, the president and the vice were there. The president was talking to someone on her phone while the vice was arranging the papers. The vice noticed me as soon as I opened the door and ordered me to sit and wait. I entered and sat on the couch to wait for my upcoming punishment. What could it be this time? Is it "cleaning the hallway" or is it "cleaning the workstations"? I kept on guessing until I heard the president clicked her phone, turning to me with the same slight cold stare.
"This is your 24th this year, William." The president sat on her chair while crossing her arms and legs. She looked at me with a teasing impression upon arranging some of her things.
"…I was just late for a few minutes. This doesn't count." I said with a face like an inflated balloon. She smiled at me with a glare.
"*ominous aura* Ho? But still you disobeyed the rule. This is not an exception." She said calmly with a strict face as always. I know that I can't beat her in an argument, and beside she' the S.C.P. that's why I just lowered my ego in order to avoid trouble.
"…Okay. Okay, I understand. So, what is my punishment for today, "President"? I said impatiently upon looking away, avoiding her sharp-looking eyes that if someone will see it, he/she'll collapse due to nervousness. -.- She closed her eyes for a few seconds before she looked me again with her piercing, cold-looking eyes.
"Simple. You just need to help us arrange these papers and then we're done." She said while showing the papers on the table.
I usually received harsh punishments like cleaning the hallway or the workstations, but I didn't expect to receive a mild punishment. I think the Student Council President is somewhat in a good mood today so as the Vice President.
Wanting to get out of here quickly, I started to arrange the papers immediately while making a little convo with the President, trying to at least be friendly to her so that when I could commit tardiness again, my punishments will be as light as this.
"You're…uhm, busy as always Ms. Student Council President." I glanced at her with a fake smile and at the same time, I arranged the papers that was scattered on the table. I don't think that she noticed my façade for she seemed to respond normally like usual. I hope her demon side won't activate, just anytime not now. -.-
"Exactly, and yet you're adding it up." She said while arranging some of the papers. Being used with her cold words and stares, I simply narrowed my eyes while making an inflated face like an inflated balloon.
"…Sorry. It's not like I wanted to be late. I'm just unfortunate enough to not notice the time." I explained while I arranged another set of papers. Upon staring at me sharply, she crossed her legs before she responded in a teasingly manner.
"…hmm? Or you're just making that as an alibi for you to be able to see me. Well you could just simply tell me that you wanted to see me. It's not an offense anyway." She teasingly said while glancing at me with her sharp-looking eyes. She may be very strict that if one couldn't abide a single rule, then one would be punish severely by her but one characteristic she has is that she loves to tease students like me who have lots of records in the list. Because I'm already used to being teased by her, I just reacted normally upon responding.
"Huh? Why the heck would I do that? That's the lamest strategy that a mortal could do. And besides, why would I be having an interest to a girl someone like you?" I said, not even batting an eye on her reaction. I didn't even look at her but I somehow knew that she seemed to be depressed by my respond for she didn't respond to me for a minute.
Hearing no response from her, I took a glance on her to see if she's texting somebody or just tired because of the tough schedule today. As I look at her, I saw her depressed face for the very first time. Well, I saw her depress the last week for "God Only Knows" what's the cause of her depression, but it seemed to be different today. Trying to let her senses back to reality, I immediately spoke up.
"Pres.? Are you okay?" I said upon looking at her. That move seemed to be effective for she seemed to be livelier than before.
"…Ahahaha! Just kidding. You really don't have any sense of humor." She laughed slightly while looking at me. It's the first time I saw her laughing face but it seemed to be a forced laugh. Whether it's forced or not, it's rare to see her laughing just like that. Well, it's not like I care about it. (-.-) Today, I think that I saw another side of her…No, maybe this is just a trick. I must not fall for it, that's why the best thing to do now is to…counter her.
"…I think Student Council President is in a good mood today. That phone call earlier must be the reason eh?" I glanced with a little with a grin on my face while arranging the remaining papers. It's obvious that she isn't. I just saw her depressed expression earlier. I'm not a fool to not notice that. (-.-) I'm just doing this to at least lighten up the situation. There was a moment of silence that made the surrounding a little bit awkward, but the awkwardness vanished as soon as she began to speak.
"…I-It's not like that. I-I am just happy for another reason." She seemed to blush slightly while looking away from me. I don't know the reason why. It's already obvious that she was depressed a moment ago but I tried to act with the flow for I don't want to encounter a negative mood again.
"…Eh? 0.0 I guess I'm wrong then. I thought that is your boyfriend earlier. You seemed to have a frantic look while calling that person." I continued arranging while having an uninterested-looking face. Just trying to avoid a bad event, I have to make a façade. One of the things I hate the most is that when someone is in a bad mood. I hate this feeling! O Lord, please take this feeling away. (-.-) She seemed to be recoiled by what I said for she suddenly moved backward with a red face.
"Heh? B-Boyfriend? Th-that person earlier was…just my old friend in Europe and besides she's a girl." Her cheek flushed while arranging the papers.
O.o? Why do people's faces go red when somebody will mention about their boyfriends or girlfriends? "God Only Knows" the reason. (-.-)
Our conversation was interrupted by the Vice who just went back after she delivered the papers to the faculty room. There was an awkward silence until I began to vocalize that I'm finally done of my job.
"Okay then, let's bring this to the Principal's Office downstairs. Since it's plenty, you'll have to help me carry it." Vice President said while carrying the arranged papers. I drew near to help her carry the papers.
"Okay, Oh I'll carry this one. Let's hurry up! My friends are already waiting for me somewhere." I said impatiently while carrying, about ¾ of the total arranged papers.
"Thanks for your hard work Danna…you too William." Michelle said while fixing her things upon looking away. I don't know if she's mad or not for what I just said to her earlier.
"You too Michelle…Btw, thanks for your assistance." Danna said while facing at me with a smile upon carrying the papers. I looked at her emotionlessly upon responding.
"You don't have to thank me. This is my punishment anyway. I would not help if it's not a punishment. (-.-)" I said coldly with a little emotionless face upon picking both my bag and the papers.
"…Ho? I doubt that you would. I let you pass the harsh works this time, but if you'll be late next time…you'll be pulled down to hell." She said disappointedly while cracking her fists. Seeing her in rage, Danna and I left with our bags on afterwards.
We walked down to the first floor where the Principal's Office is located. We're not that far since the Student Council Office is in the 5th floor. Before we reached there, we made a little chat to avoid the awkwardness.
"I didn't expect that president knows how to smile. It is unimaginable for a disastrous monster." Not knowing what to say, I just said something to avoid the awkwardness. Danna seemed to laugh at my words for she didn't expect that I'm the type of person who cared for others. Heh! Who cared for whom? I'm just saying something so that it could at least kill the awkwardness. It's just too unfortunate that this topic is only the thing that I could think of. (-.-)
"I didn't expect also for a frail dog to get along with a disastrous monster." She said teasingly while laughing gently. She may be strict as the President but she's more cheerful than the President.
"…yeah, but I am also amazed by you, Vice President you are also-" I was about to continue but was interrupted by her.
"Don't be so formal, call me Danna." She said while smiling sweetly. It took me a few seconds before I responded.
"…O-kay, I'm also impressed by you, D-Danna. You're both hard workers. Both of you comes to school very early and goes home late in the night." I said while facing at the papers that I carried. Jeez! I'm not used to this formal setting. It feels very uncomfortable. (-.-)
"There's nothing to be impressed about it. It's just normal for us to do these because we're part of the Student Council." She humbly said while facing at me. Yeah right. It's their job to do these harsh kinds of things anyway.
We kept on talking until we reached the Principal's Office. We placed the papers on the Principal's table and then we left afterwards. It was a little bit tiring but I think it was worth it for I was able to witness the President's…no, Michelle and Danna's other sides and weaknesses. Danna and I parted ways after we delivered the papers to the Principal's Office.
Because of my punishment, I totally forgot about my best friends who I just texted earlier that they must see me in the Student Council's Office. I attempted to send them a message again, but I think I was beaten first because I received a message from George, saying that we'll meet at the front gate. Upon seeing the message, I immediately went there. It didn't take long since I'm already at the ground floor and to my surprise my ex-crush and her friends are there together with my two best friends. Is this a set up made by George and Francis? (-.-)
"Yo! What took you so long? I just sent you a message 10 minutes ago. It's not good to keep the ladies waiting especially that long." George smirked while making a teasing looking face. Looking uninterested, I responded.
"…Sorry, I was being punished again by the Student Council." I looked away for my ex-crush stared at me like I have dirt on my face. Another thing that I hate the most is being stared by someone. (-.-)
"Well, let's go now." Francis pushed everyone while we're heading to the city. Looking at his odd behavior, I immediately questioned him.
"What are you guys plotting into?" I asked them unnoticeably, trying to avoid any attention from them.
"You must try to hang out with others as well William. Try to be friends with others too." Francis whispered with a smirk on his face. Excuse me, but I'm not interested on being friends to strangers. (Author: Lol! How could you make friends when you don't even want to interact with strangers?" -.-")
"…I don't really need friends…well, except for the two of you. I'll be happier when I'm all by myself than interacting with others." I looked away with a cold expression. He just sighed upon showing a slight smile, emphasizing that he is already used to William's coldness towards others.
We roam around the crowded city. We headed to an arcade near a cafeteria. George and the others left me and Sherry alone in a cafeteria because it seemed like they enjoyed in the "Arcade"…or is this a set up that my best friends planned. I just stayed quiet, not interested to communicate with her when suddenly she unexpectedly took the initiative.
"Don't you want to play with the others?" She asked while glancing at me. Sherry is neither a timid nor a shy girl; in fact she's a strong willed girl. She just doesn't like to talk to others unless it's important or unless only when she feels to do it.
"I'm fine by just watching them. I'm not really fond of playing games in Arcades. What about you? Don't you want to play with them?" I scratched my face with my finger while looking at the others.
"I actually don't really like to play single player games like the one that they played. I just wanted to play a two player game. I don't want to bother my friends, it seems like they enjoyed their games anyway." She rested her head on her arms while staring at her friends. A moment of silence occurred until she unexpectedly began to speak.
"…If you don't mind we could play together. I don't mind if you're the one who'll be my partner in a two player game for the mean time." She said while staring at me. Eh? What's this? She's taking the initiative.
"No thanks, you shouldn't do this when you already have a (womanizer) boyfriend." I said coldly upon remembering the lustful situation earlier. I took a glance on her to see that she seemed to be frustrated and disgusted after I said that to her.
"…Don't worry, he's not here. He said that he has practice today." She said, still looking at me. Heh? I bet he's just in an isolated place while raping another girl. I had a slight crush on her before, but after I knew that she dated that Casanova, Perverted and Arrogant man, my feelings for her shattered like a broken glass. Since she's my ex-crush then today is an exception.
We both went to a double player game. She chose a dancing game. The instruction says that the pair must step the squares with green lights. Don't step the red lights or else it's "game over". We inserted a token and started to play. The starting point was still easy but the longer it is the harder it will become. We tried not to step on the red lights but unfortunately, I accidentally stepped one of them. We inserted another token and we started the game.
"Heh? Your dancing skills aren't bad. Want to try another round?" She asked while raising a token.
"…Sure, I can still manage to play another round." I nodded with a cold looking face.
We tried to avoid the red ones but she accidentally stepped on it. We tried again and again until we already played about 10 times already. I didn't realize that I already enjoyed the game. She dropped the last token in the machine and we started to play the last try. We manage to play it a little longer than before. We stepped on the green ones and we avoided the red ones. Suddenly lost her balance, she tripped and fell on top of me. I lost my balance because of this and both of us eventually fell on the floor. I didn't know what exactly happen just seconds ago but then I realized that she's already on top of my body. She immediately stood as soon as she realized that she leaned on my top of me.
"S-sorry for that." Her cheeks flushed slightly while looking away.
"Ahh, No. I-It's okay. I'm not bothered by it… let's just go back at the cafeteria since we don't have any tokens left." I flattered while looking away at the same time. What kind of development is this? I didn't expect to progress this fast. We went back to the cafeteria and sat there silently. Afterwards the others came inside with full of cold sweats.
"Man that was fun. I really love arcade game." Jennifer said upon ordering a drink.
"Me too. It's the best way to kill some time." George said upon ordering a drink.
"Agree, and it also is the best way to forget your problems." Francis joked upon wiping his cold sweat.
"Heh? George and Francis are good at playing arcade games as well. It's not obvious for two cuties~" A girl with a long canary yellow hair. She's Claude Amedi, she's 165 cm and her weight is 47 kg. She has a pale tan skin with mauve colored eyes. She's one of Sherry's close friends. She's a little bit aggressive and flirty but she has her limits as well. She's one of the popular girls in the campus because of her big breasts and her beauty.
"Hahaha! And it's not obvious for beauties as well." George spoke charismatically. George is a little bit of a "chick boy" and he's a pervert too but he's serious when it comes to a relationship. While some of us ordered for some drinks, Francis whispered to me without letting anyone noticing it.
"Did you enjoy your time with her "alone"?" He whispered teasingly with a little smirk. I just looked away. It seemed that they really planned this from the very start. I am not really happy about this idea even though she's my ex-crush. In fact, I've started to disgust her for she dated a Casanova man. After knowing that he started dating that disgusting man, it's like I'm about to vomit not because of jealousy…but because of disgust.
"I guess that's a yes then." Francis pinched me while smiling mockingly. I slapped his hands away upon looking away.
"Hmph, not even a nibble!" I replied coldly. It's true. I don't have any feelings for her now nor do I care. In that time, we chat as a group, talking about funny stuff that only them can understand.
After we drank our drinks, we left the cafeteria refreshingly. I hate to admit it but it was a fun experience. It's true that I don't like socializing to other people aside from my best friends, but I'm still a human being that knows how to be happy. I hope that this moment will last forever…
