I woke up and sighed as I realized it was Saturday today and I had to meet up with Itoki-kun to 'go out' and 'meet his friends'.
I took a quick bath and decided to go with my usual outfit which pretty much resembled a girl that could kill anyone on the spot... Or so Ichinose-nii said so before. You know, combat boots, black skirt, gray shirt, and leather jacket? The military works.
I grabbed my phone and wallet and shoved them into my jacket's pockets. I stepped out of my room and bumped into Ichinose-nii.
"I see you still dress quite deadly," he said and I rolled my eyes. He just chuckled and waved his hand as he walked away. I sighed and knocked at the door next to mine. Seconds later, Itoki-kun opened it and smiled.
"Ah, ohayo Rikka-chan," he said with a smile. He closed the door behind him and we both walked down the hall to the lobby. Itoki-kun walked up to a group of six with me on his tail.
"Minna, I want you to meet someone," he said with a wide smile. A few of them looked quite familiar. There was that short haired girl and two more guys from my class.
"Minna, this is Rikka-chan," Itoki-kun said with a wide smile.
"Eh?! You're the one from before," one of them said. I looked at him and realized he was the one Ichinose-nii and I bumped into the very first day I came here.
"Syo-kun, be nicer!" a wavy, blonde-haired one said. He had thin framed glasses and was really... really tall. "I'm Natsuki!" he said, introducing himself. "This here is Syo-kun."
So the one with the black nail polish was called Syo...
"A-ano, Haruka Nanami-desu," the short haired girl said and I nodded. That left two other people.
"Jinguji Ren," one of them said. He had long and wavy hair and looked like the player type. How can I tell? He had this really flirty smirk on his lips. I disregarded it and bowed respectfully.
"Masato," the last one said. He looked calm and refined and bowed to me as well.
"Yosh, that's everyone," Itoki-kun said.
After that, we all headed for some place to have some breakfast. In the middle of eating, Syo-kun asked me a question.
"So how come you were with Ichinose when I saw you?" Itoki-kun chuckled at the coincidence. I inwardly sighed and told him how Ichinose and I were childhood friends and that I had to live in the boy's dorms since there was no other room left in the girl's dorm.
There was a collective 'Ooh'.
We just walked around for the rest of the day. The boys tried to crack some jokes, Haruka tried to start a conversation, and all of them asked some stuff. I just simply talked when I was needed to, answered their questions, and tried to hide the fact that I was uninterested.
I had to at least make SOME connections with some people at this school.
We came back in the evening and we said our good nights. I went straight to my room, took a quick bath, changed into my usual shorts and shirt and went to sleep.
I spent the next day unpacking the rest of my things. I sighed, inwardly complaining at the fact that I had nothing else to do for the day so I decided to take in some fresh air.
I walked out of my room in a black dress and a gray cardigan. I had my combat boots on as usual. It's not your typical 'going out for some fresh air' outfit but it was fine with me.
I walked around the school for a while and soon, I was looking at a wide grassy area. I sat down on the grass and sighed as a breeze passed by. I closed my eyes and focused on the sound of the grass rustling.
Seconds later, I heard humming. I opened my eyes and turned around to see Syo-kun, leaning on a tree with his eyes closed.
"Ano..." I muttered and his eyes suddenly fluttered open.
"Ah, I didn't notice you were there," he said and I shook my head saying "Please don't mind me." He raised a brow, sighed, then nodded.
I looked back at the horizon but things were starting to feel awkward, and this was one of those days when I don't feel like starting a conversation of being in the middle of one at all.
"I'm sorry if I was rude when I first saw you," Syo-kun suddenly said, sitting on the grass beside me. "I just didn't take Ichinose as the kind of guy to break the rules, especially since he's in the S Class."
"Rules?" I asked, a bit confused.
"The school has this golden rule. 'Love is forbidden' or something like that. We can't have romantic relationships with other students of this school."
"And why is that?" I asked but he just shrugged. I'm guessing he doesn't know the answer.
"It seems that you and the others are having a hard time resisting," I muttered and Syo-kun raised a brow. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"You and the others seems to be quite interested in Haruka," I said, causing Syo-kun to jump a bit in surprise.
"I guess that means I'm correct?" I asked and he just looked down at his hands. I nodded and stood up from where I was seated.
"Where are you going?" Syo-kun asked.
"Cafeteria," I said and left, leaving him in confusion. I walked straight to the cafeteria and grabbed a cup of coffee. I then walked to the library where I got a few novels.
Peace and quiet. It's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, but of course, that dream just had to be ruined by a tap on the shoulder.
"It's Rikka-chan!" Natsuki-kun said with a wide smile, Itoki-kun in his arms... or more like caged in his arms.
"Ne, we were going to bake some cookies, want to come?" he asked and I sighed. I suppose there was no getting out of it so I just grabbed my coffee, placed the books I got back in their places, and followed Natsuki-kun to their room.
"Syo-kun! You're here too?" Natsuki-kun asked and Syo-kun just rolled his eyes and sat on his bed.
"Ara? What are you doing here?" he asked me.
"Natuki-kun asked me to accompany him in baking cookies," I said with a blunt tone. Suddenly, Syo-kun looked sick and slowly walked to me.
"I suggest you run," he whispered and I raised a brow. "His cooking can kill you."
I suppose that's just some metaphor meaning Natsuki-kun was a horrible cook.
"I think I can manage," I said and he looked shocked. Natsuki-kun started and the three of us looked at him in horror as he just threw stuff into a blender and cooked the gooey stuff with a flame thrower.
"Is this really considered as cooking?" I asked and Natuski-kun nodded vigorously.
"Yosh! Syo-kun, you should taste it first!" he beamed and Syo-kun literally ran to their bathroom.
"Eh? Then Otoya should go first!" Itoki-kun ran into the bathroom with Syo-kun. "Ara? I guess that leaves you, Rikka-chan," Natsuki-kun said with a wide smile. He took a cookie and was going straight for my mouth. I immediately dodged and ran to the bathroom as well.
"That.. smelled.. horrible," I muttered under my breath as the other two slumped down the bathroom walls.
"RIKKA-CHAN! OTOYA! SYO-KUN!" Natsuki-kun yelled, suddenly bursting through the door. I looked around and spotted a window. I immediately jumped out of and and, fortunately, fell on a bush. I ran into the lobby and ran quickly to my room while Natsuki-kun was being distracted by Itoki-kun and Syo-kun.
I sighed and sat on my bed...
I forgot my coffee...
