Nagisa's Storytime, Chapter 2

You did it! Ten points to Gryffindor! Wait, shit. I'm only supposed to make references to anime…

So uh, welcome back. The next day, which was Tuesday, I left for school again. What a twist, right?

Me and Rei parted ways, since I had arts and he had math or some other boring subject. I sat down, in my usual spot (next to the window, obviously), and looked around me. There were lots of weird people around me, and there was this girl next to me, drawing something. Because I'm social, I went to talk to her, of course.

"Hi! I'm Nagisa! What'cha drawing?" I asked, kind of sort-of politely. She went like totally pale, and hid her sketchbook. "H-Hiyori. That's my name. And that, oh don't worry it was nothing special… j-just some random sketches and stuff like that you know heh…heh…" She word vomited and blushed afterwards. She was a weird one, I could totally tell already. "Uh, right. Nice to meet you!" I said, and shook her hand. We had class, and she kept looking at me every now and then.

Then, when the class was ending, she came up to me. "Um, this is a weird question but… Are you like, friends with that guy with the red glasses and blue hair?" She asked, with a bit of embarrassment. "Oh, that's Rei-chan! Yeah, we're best buddies." I didn't tell her that we were already totally canon, but she didn't need to know everything. Hiyori then looked to her right, made some notes to her notebook, face red, and then put it back to her bag. "Okay then, thanks. See you around!" She said, leaving the class.

There was just something about her that was a little weird. I shook it off though, since thinking too much was kind of a waste of time. I started walking towards the place Rei and I usually met after classes, but then I heard the announcement system spring to life.

"Excuse me for this interruption. The student council is now looking for additional members. If you are interested, please go to the second floor conference room. Thank you."

This was my chance! Most important main characters are always part of the student council, so what better way to solidify my position?

Once I got there though, there were already a lot of people there. I cursed my luck because, of course, everyone else was also a main character now, and wanted to be a part of the student council. Why was everything always so hard?

Well, there were a total of maybe about 40ish applicants. I don't know for sure though, I'm really no good at math. There, we took an exam. AN EXAM! Can you believe that shit? Apparently, due to the amount of applicants, we had to pass the suitability test.

So, I took the test, and thought I sucked hard. I mean it was full of those really weird questions like; "Two students are fighting about something. How do you start dissolving the argument?" and "Why do you think you are qualified for this position?" and even pointless crap like "How would you find a needle from a haystack?"

How was any of this relevant? The student council just does fun events in anime!

Then, we were dismissed until we were called in again, after the next lesson. There, the teachers told us the results. Due to some divine miracle, I managed to get through to the next round. Hah! Take that, lesser main characters :D

I was really happy, but when I saw the final contestants, my expression went from :D to D:

You see, most of the finalist were taking this very seriously! I mean, there were a few exceptions, but mostly everyone looked like such a tryhard. Nevertheless, one by one we were interviewed by a few teachers, and they would decide the final members. I called bullshit as soon as I heard, because shouldn't we be elected by the students we are meant to represent?

But hey, democracy is overrated. I was called in and was asked like, a shit ton of questions and stuff. It was actually really boring, and I think the teachers noticed that. I was in that interrogation room for at least ten minutes. Ten minutes of my life, wasted.

Well I guess not completely wasted, because I soon found out I was approved. I was so happy about it, and told everyone. Well, I guess I didn't tell Rin and Nitori because A) They had mysteriously disappeared somewhere, and B) The council's first meeting started before I could find them.

The clubroom was, of course, way more fancy than a real high school's student council room. It had this long ass table, real formal, with the other 3 members and the president already around it. I was kinda pissed that I didn't get to be the president, but hey, even I can't be perfect.

"Alright. Let us begin the conference." The president spoke, way too formally. He was a boy, tall and had this really serious look. "I am Lelouch, the new president of this council. I expect great things from all of you, since you have been selected for this task." He spoke even more formally than before. I mean, who did he think he was? A king of some sorts?

Another student rose from the seat next to him. I recognized him as glasses guy, from before. "Kyoya, vice president and secretary." He stated, coldly. "Nice to meet you all." He added, trying to make himself seem a bit more of a nice guy.

At that point, I was getting worried. Were all the members of the club this boring? Then, another person rose up. "Haruhi Suzumiya!" She exclaimed, loud. "I'm joining this club to destroy boredom within our unique school! I'm happy to meet all of you!" She explained, randomly shaking my hand, but only my hand.

Haruhi was one of those people so eccentric they just had to be an anime character. I was kind of relieved to find out that I wasn't the only extrovert. After she sat down, another girl stood up. "Uh, hi everyone. This is a bit awkward now, but I'm also Haruhi. Haruhi Fujioka. Good to meet all of you!" She said, and sat down.

Now this other Haruhi, Fujioka I mean, was basically the exact opposite of Suzumiya. She radiated this dullness, unlike any other main character. That's when I realized, to my surprise, that she seemed to have zero, zero teen drama going on. I mean, who is a main character and doesn't have teen drama?!

Then, it was my turn. "Nagisa! I'm so excited to meet all of you, I'm sure we can accomplish a lot of cool things during these coming months!" I said, and totally aced my introduction.

"Riiight." Lelouch spoke again, seeming a bit put off by our team. "Anyways, to the point of our meeting. Because of the amount of new students, it's only natural to have a party or festival of sorts. There, I can easily see my possible enemie- I mean new friends!" He said, nervously taking a sip of water.

I'm telling you, there was something weird about that Lelouch guy as well. But whatever, all good main characters were a bit weird.

And so, we planned our festival. Yep, I'm not writing you down an hour of fighting about suggestions and stuff, nope. I'm just gonna skip all that and get to the next part, where exciting shit actually happens.

But of course, all that happens next chapter ;)
