CHAPTER 6. VICE PRESIDENT YAMAMOTO?!
Date: 5/18/2020
Time:12:30 PM
Matthew begins to stir, awakening from his slumber with a killer headache. Opening his eyes, the teen immediately recognizes the infirmary's ceiling. He sighs to himself as he begins to recall everything that happened a few hours ago.
"We meet again," a familiar voice chimes in with a sarcastic tone.
Matthew turns to the voice and immediately recognizes nurse Nakano. The same nurse he met on the first day of school that has been looking after him for the past six weeks.
"It appears so," Matthew playfully replies.
"When will I ever stop seeing you here?" the woman asks Matthew as she approaches him with a glass of water and a bottle of aspirin.
Matthew grabs the glass of water and throws the two tablets into his mouth and gulps it down with water. "I don't even know, at this point I think God sends me here for the hell of it. Thanks for the aspirin."
She nods her head before walking to the counter where a brown paper bag awaits. "Here, your girlfriend dropped these off earlier today," she teasingly says.
"Girlfriend?" the teen asks with a bewildered face.
The nurse clicks her tongue and rolls her eyes in annoyance. "You know, your light blue haired friend with red eyes and-
"She isn't my girlfriend!" Matthew retorts with a face mixed with anger and annoyance.
"Oh really?" she grins to herself, liking Matthews reaction. "Then what is she to you?"
"She's a friend that's a girl," the teen stammers.
The nurse crosses her arms and eyes Matthew for a bit. "So she's a girlfriend then?"
"Yes! I mean NO!" he yells.
She laughs at Matthew as he tries to come up with an answer to defend himself but soon gives up and accepts defeat.
Nurse Nakano lets out a tired sigh and places a hand on Matthew's shoulder. "There there, I'm only messing with you."
"Yea yea I know," the annoyed Mathew replies.
Nurse Nakano removes her hand from his shoulder and walks back to her desk as Matthew gets up from the bed and heads towards the infirmary's bathroom to change. After finishing changing into his school uniform, he exits the restroom with his IS uniform in the bag and approaches the woman.
"So do I just drop it off at my P.E. locker or will somebody pick it up for me?" He asks.
She looks up from her screen to face Matthew. "Just leave it on the counter, I'll bring it to your locker for you," she smiles.
"Oh really?" Matthew exclaims. "Thanks." Matthew places his uniform on the counter and begins to leave.
"Before you go," the nurse chimes in, stopping Matthew in his tracks.
Matthew cocks his eyebrow and turns towards the nurse.
"I think you should take a look at the student newspaper before exiting my office."
"Alright," he replies, unsure why.
The nurse hands Matthew the student newspaper and Matthew's jaw drops as soon as he lays eyes on the title. "YAMAMOTO CRASHES INTO MISS YAMADA'S BOOBS DURING TRAINING!" Matthew unfolds the rest of the newspaper in his haste and immediately after, his face turns red in embarrassment. Embedded in the news column is a photo of Maya Yamada on top of him and his face shoved between her massive tits.
"Miss Yamada's reaction to this was priceless, I should've recorded the whole thing," Nurse Nakano said laughing to herself. "Matthew?" she says again, trying to get his attention to no avail.
His face is glued on the newspaper as he stands there shocked.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY REPUTATION IS RUINED! NOW EVERYBODY WILL KNOW ME AS THE CLASS PERVERT! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" the teen mentally screams.
"MATTHEW!" the nurse yells causing Matthew to jump in surprise.
"Huh!"
"You have a visitor behind you," the woman points out.
He turns towards the door and finds Cecilia standing there with a large basket.
"Oh hey Cecilia, whatcha doing here?" the teen asks, hiding the newspaper behind his back before dropping it in the trash can behind him.
Cecilia stares at the trashcan and attempts to peek into it before being blocked by a sheepishly smiling Matthew. The nurse behind him brings out another newspaper from her drawer and raises it for Cecilia to see. Seeing the newspaper, she understands Matthew and breaks the ice.
"I already know what happened," Cecilia begins boldly. "In fact I heard the other female students are too busy bombarding Miss Yamada with silly questions related to your accident this morning."
Matthew goes red. "So I'm guessing I'm considered a class pervert huh?"
"Not exactly. For instance, some of them think you or Miss Yamada are quite lucky to end up in that situation, and some think your incident was quite hilarious. Even I think it was hilarious," Cecilia admits.
Matthews' face turns red in embarrassment feeling both ashamed and embarrassed about the incident. Cecilia sees this and attempts to cheer Matthew up.
"But talk about the incident will fizzle out in a few days, I'm sure of it," Cecilia cheers.
"Are you sure about that?" Matthew asks with unease.
"I'm sure. As a matter of fact, how would you like a sandwich I made the night before?" Cecilia asks.
"Sandwiches?" Matthew questions, cocking his eyebrow.
Cecilia opens her food basket and presents it to Matthew. Inside are a bunch of freshly made sandwiches, lined up in four neat rows.
He gazes at Cecilia's sandwiches for a moment. "Wow, they look so good!"
"Thank you. I made these sandwiches to prove to you and Ichika that British cuisines aren't bad at all. To top it off, Ichika invited me to have a small picnic on the school roof all by ourselves," she adds, getting all girly.
"Really? Well I wish you two the best on your first date," he replies as he opens the sandwich wraps and takes a bite out of the sandwich. However, instead of the wonderful taste he was expecting, he was greeted with a sour and distasteful taste of vinegar mixed with paint. He gags chokes before spitting it out into the trash can."WATER! WATER!" he cries.
Cecilia quickly hands Matthew a bottle of water from her basket and watches as he swishes the water back and forth in his mouth and spits it all out in a nearby sink. He does this entire process a few more times until the revolting taste in his mouth fades away.
Matthew slowly turns his head to Cecilia with a serious look. He stares at her, observing her as she stands there both scared and embarrassed for herself.
"Cecilia, what exactly did you put into the sandwich?" he asks in a very serious tone.
"Nothing, besides white paint to make the mayo look whiter and the perfume to make the sandwich smell good," Cecilia admits.
Matthew and the nurse stare at Cecilia in disbelief.
"YOU PUT WHAT!" Matthew shouts.
Cecilia opens her mouth to speak but closes it and stares down to the ground. Her hands tighten their grip on the basket and her face turns red in embarrassment.
"Answer me Cecilia!" the teenage boy growls.
Cecilia closes her eyes and looks back at Matthew. "I ADDED WHITE PAINT AND PERFUME TO MAKE THE SANDWICHES LOOK MORE APPEALING AND ALLURING!" Cecilia shouts. Tears were already forming in her eyes.
"ALLURING!" Matthew yells. He's about to continue his rant against Cecilia before realizing she's crying. He takes a deep breath in and out to calm himself down. "Nurse Nakano."
"Hmm?" Nurse Nakano answers.
"How much time do I have before lunch ends?" he asks.
"About 33 minutes, lunch is 40 minutes long," she replies.
Matthew stares back at Cecilia who is holding back her tears. This is going to be like teaching John how to cook scrambled eggs. He thinks to himself. "Cecilia, do you still have leftover ingredients to make a sandwich?"
She quietly nods yes to Matthew.
"Well then, let's go. I'm going to teach you the proper way to make a sandwich," he says boldly.
"Wait what?" Cecilia exclaims.
"If I were to let you serve your so-called sandwiches, you would have poisoned Ichika," Matthew bluntly explains. "Now come on, let's go. I'm about to teach you how to make a dozen delicious sandwiches in under five minutes." The teen leads the British blond out of the infirmary and towards her room to make sandwiches.
Twelve minutes later after Matthew teaches Cecilia how to create one of the world's easiest foods, the two say goodbye and go on their separate ways.
Hmph. Teaching Cecilia how to make a sandwich wasn't actually that hard. I wonder if she'll be able to create a sunny side up without burning it the first time? Matthew ponders to himself. She probably will, but that's for another time. Looking at his watch to see what time it is, it reads 12:49 PM. Damn, just ten minutes of lunch left, but what do I do with this time? Meeting up with Ichika and the girls is a no go since he is on a date with Cecilia and I don't feel like studying or reading and my phone is dead so I guess….. he pauses and thinks further to himself for an answer on what to do. I guess I'll just hang around with Tatenashi, she should be in the student council room last I heard. The bored teen makes his way to the student council room with a trail of girls forming behind him. He tries his best to ignore his fanbase as he continues his journey to no avail.
"Hey Yamamoto!' a random girl cries from behind the teen boy.
Shit! He turns his head to the enormous group of girls behind him. "Yea?"
"Were her boobs soft Ya-ma-moto?" another girl asks in a seductive manner.
He freezes and turns a bright red, causing the girls to squeal and laugh in delight.
"He's blushing!" one of the girls call out.
The teen nervously smiles and begins to walk backwards as he stammers.
The girls continue approaching him with every step he takes back.
"So Yamamoto, do you like red or black lingerie?" another girl asks the nervous boy.
"You girls are really perverted. Please stop asking me these perverted questions." I thought we men are supposed to be asking women these questions, not women.
The group of girls laugh at his answer.
"Then do you like big or small boobs?" a girl bluntly asks Matthew.
"Wha- why do you girls insist on me asking these questions?" he asks to change the subject.
"I don't know, we're just curious," she responds in a dumb but playful tone. "Right girls?"
"Yea." The group of girls answer at different timings.
Typical response. Right time to initiate plan Houdini. "Do you girls want to see a magic trick?" he asks."
"Sure!" The group of girls respond.
"Okay for this trick, I will disappear but in order for this to work, I need you to close your eyes," Matthew instructs.
"Okay." The girls all close their eyes.
"Now repeat after me. Hippie Kiyay."
"Hippie Kiyay," the group of thirsty girls repeat.
"HIPPIE KIYAY! YOU GIRLS ARE SO DUMB!" Matthew yells.
The girls open their eyes and find Matthew running away from them.
"YAMAMOTO COME BACK!" the girls scream running after him.
Matthew turns a corner and jumps over a small bush, running into the wilderness where he hides behind a tree. He hears the girls running around the corner and down the sidewalk where they think he went.
Idiots. He thinks to himself as he exits the brush and back onto the sidewalk. He cleans himself off and resumes his journey towards the student council room with no interruptions on the way. Once there, he stops in front of the council doors to spot check himself while listening in on a fierce argument from inside the room
An argument from inside the halls of Congress. The teen jokingly thinks to himself. He straightens out his uniform and fixes his hair to look more presentable before knocking on the student council door and entering. As he enters, six pairs of eyes including Tatenashi, stare Matthew down as he closes the door.
"Who the hell are you?" a girl with red hair and black glasses angrily asks Matthew. She wears the standard female I.S. academy uniform and has a LGBT armband on her left arm and is very skinny.
"I'm Matthew Yamamoto, I thought I'd drop by and introduce myself," Matthew replies, bowing.
"Are you sure about that?" the ugly red hair girl asks.
"Yea?" Matthew replies.
"Oh really? Are you just here to hit on one of us as if we were simple sluts?" the red haired girl accusingly says.
"What?" the teen exclaims.
The student council turns into a frenzy against the ugly red haired girl.
"Really Beverly? No wonder why your boyfriend left you after three days!" a girl with black hair, brown eyes and an average sized breasts accuses. She wears black glasses and the standard I.S. academy Uniform with a red armband titled "Student Council Secretary."
"Shut the fuck up four eyes!" the ugly girl retorts.
"THE FUCK YOU SAY TO ME?!" the secretary yells.
"YOU HEARD ME FOUR EYES!" The red haired girl retorts.
"THAT'S ENOUGH BOTH OF YOU!" Tatenashi yells abruptly, standing up and knocking over her seat.
The council falls silent as everybody's eyes are on Tatenashi.
"Beverly, what have we talked about you lashing out at people? Especially to those you hate?" Tatenashi presses.
"I don't recall a speech against rapists!" Beverly retorts.
Tatenashi sighs before speaking. "Sofia remind Miss Hills what we spoke of three years ago."
Sofia is a beautiful Spanish girl with an average bust who wears a certain style of uniform that resembles a french maid uniform with the typical black and white colors.
"Yes two months ago and countless other times, we've talked to you Beverly about lashing out at random people on social media and on school grounds just because they have different opinions than you," Sofia states with her heavy Spanish accent.
"But he could be a fucking pervert for crying out" Beverly accuses Matthew.
This was a really bad idea on coming here. Matthew thinks to himself.
"Shut up!" a girl with a bowl cut hairstyle yells. She has black hair and tan skin with medium sized boobs and is wearing the standard I.S. academy uniform but has a red armband with the words "Vice President" in white.
Vice President Jiang Xiayu. Matthew thinks to himself.
"Just because he is a boy doesn't mean he is a pervert!" Jiang claims boldly. The entire student council except Beverly, nod in agreement with Vice President Jiang's claim.
"Besides, not every boy on this god forsaken planet is what you believe, you fucking extremist," Jiang attacks with fiery words.
Beverly stays silent, knowing full well she lost this battle.
"Now," Jiang begins. "I think you owe Mr. Yamamoto an apology for your sudden outburst."
Beverly growls and curses under her breath in English before standing up and turning towards Matthew.
"I am sorry for suddenly yelling at you and interrogating you with questions that make you uncomfortable," she apologizes before mumbling in English "you fucking playboy."
"Apology accepted," Matthew responds but is really thinking geez what a bitch.
"Beverly, I think you should leave the meeting for the time being since you're obviously not sorry and you're calling Matthew a bunch of names in English. Did you know Matthew is from America? Obviously he can speak the language," a beautiful young woman with emerald green eyes and short coral brown hair chimes in. She also wears the standard I.S. academy uniform with a red armband that reads "Public Relations."
"But I just apologized to him!?" Beverly retorts.
"All in favor of kicking Beverly out temporarily, raise your hand and say I," Tatenashi announces.
Everybody in the student council except Beverly raised their hands and yell "I".
Beverly fumes and grabs her bag and lunch and storms past Matthew and out of the student council room, slamming the door behind herself.
Matthew stands there stunned at what he just witnessed.
"On behalf of the student council, were truly sorry you had to witness that.'' She bows apologetically to Matthew followed by the rest of the student council. "In English Beverly is known as a….bitch," Jiang adds on.
Matthew lets out a small laugh and smiles. "No need to be sorry. It was all on Beverly not on you guys."
"Thank you. Now why have you come here? We usually don't have any visitors unless you're part of the student news. Are you part of the student news and if so, please be brief with your questions," Jiang Xiayu says.
"No. I'm not part of the Student news or any other clubs." Matthew replies
"Oh. well then what do you need?" Vice President Jiang Xiayu inquires.
"I'm just here to see what the student council is up to and what it's like to be part of your meeting. If I am a burden to you all, then I'll leave right away." Matthew bows and begins to leave.
"Wait!" Tatenashi blurts, stopping Matthew.
Turning around, he finds all five girls up from their seats and huddled up at the far end of the table where the large oval window glares down on him. The Student Council talks quietly to one another whilst taking the occasional glance at the teen.
"This guy!" a girl with short coral pink hair with a red bow on the upper left side of her head whispers loudly. The girl has lake blue eyes and a small bust. She also dons the I.S. academy uniform with the same armband and the previous girl but this time it reads "Student Secretary."
"SHHHH!" the council shushes the girl.
"Sorry," the girl apologizes.
The Council continues with whatever they were talking about whilst Matthew stands there, trying to listen in on them.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! WE JUST-" Sofia blurts but is shushed by the rest of the student council.
"Sorry," Sofia bows apologetically.
"But still why that person?" Sofia tilts her head towards Matthew's general direction.
"Let me get to the point," Tatenashi whispers harshly at Sofia, cutting her off.
More intense speaking between the council continues with the same occasional glance towards Matthew as he stands there not knowing what to do.
Are they going to tear me apart like raptors? Matthew pictures the student council as raptors and himself is a pig. The raptors leap towards him and begin to devour him alive. He shakes the thought off before realizing the entire student council is eyeballing Matthew with laser eyes.
"Yea?" Matthew questions.
The student council blink a few times before turning away from Matthew and resuming their conversation.
"I mean what options do we have left?" Jiang asks the council.
"I mean…" the girl with glasses rambles. She then looks over to Matthew then back to the group. "I guess he looks like somebody who would keep the peace."
"I vote yes!" the girl with short coral hair says in a tone too loud to be a whisper.
"I do too," the girl with glasses agrees, followed by Vice President Jiang Xiaoyu and Sofia.
"Alright now we just need to explain it to him." Tatenashi says. She leaves the group huddle and walks over to her chair followed by the rest of the Council who sit in their assigned seat.
"Please be seated Yamamoto," Jiang orders.
Matthew takes a seat at the far end of the table where he faces Tatenashi.
"As you have probably heard, I am moving back to China because of the war," Jiang says.
"I've heard and I'm sorry you have to go back," Matthew says.
"Thank you, now back on topic. Since I'm resigning my job as Vice President of the student council, I need a successor but who exactly will be my successor?" Jiang explains.
"I don't know," the teen replies.
She nods in agreement before continuing. "Which is why we're having an emergency meeting today to discuss my new successor and it appears Treasurer Beverly Hills will be taking my place since everybody else is too busy and stressed out with school work.
"I have calculus with Miss Guider god dammit, she sucks!" the girl with the red bow retorts.
"I have two different math classes right now since I failed last year," Sofia adds in.
Jiang rolls her eyes in annoyance.
"You mean that bitch!?" Matthew chimes in. "I hate her for what she called me."
"Everybody hates her which is why we don't want her as the new Vice President. We can't even kick her out of the council because of the LGBTQ community here and the debate club which is run by two of her best friends who are also extremists. So if we tried to kick her out of the council, her friends will simply simply spread the word that we kicked Beverly out because we hate the LGBTQ community and spread rumors that we are corrupt buffoons using the school treasures for our personal benefits. The next thing we know, there will be a large protest on all our social media platforms and right outside the council room," Sofia rants.
"And this really happened?"
"Yes a year ago now," she explains.
"Damn. Corrupt bitches they are," he says getting nods of approval from the council.
"They are very corrupt and we can't touch them because they're what you consider a political minefield and if we did touch them, then prepare to live a life of hell," Jinag explains with nods of approval from the council. "Which is why the Student Council offers you a chance to become the new Vice President of the Student Council."
Matthew sits there shocked at what she just offered him.
"Wh-why me?" he stammers out of shock.
"It would make my job a lot easier on you since you're gonna be sitting right next to me after school. The rest of the council thinks you won't do anything bad and we all don't want Beverly to be the Vice President," Tatenashi answers.
"So what will it be? Yes or no?" Jiang asks.
"Well I don't think I-" Matthew stops as he notices the student council gives him pleading looks especially Tatenashi who has a look of a puppy begging her master not to leave.
Feeling pity and not wanting to turn them down, he decides to accept. "I-I'll do it," he answers, causing the group to jump up from their seats and celebrate as if they landed the first man on the moon. Tatenashi runs up to the teen and gives him a big bear hug.
"AAAAAHHHHHH THEY'RE TOUCHING THEY'RE TOUCHING THEY'RE TOUCHING!" Matthew internally screams, feeling her boobs on his chest.
"Let me go! I can't breathe!"
After a while, Tatenashi lets Matthew go and leans in close "Thank you," she whispers seductively in his ear. Her words send shivers down his spine and the rest of his body. His face turns red in embarrassment.
"You're welcome," Matthew replies sheepishly smiling.
Tatenashi smiles before blowing in his face causing him to fall. She laughs at his beat red face. She then offers Matthew her hand and accepts as he stands back up.
"Okay, that's enough of you two so can we please get back to business," Jiang asks, bringing Matthew and Tatenashi back to reality.
Tatenashi turns away from Matthew and walks back to her seat with Matthew doing the same.
"Right, I think we need to properly introduce ourselves so I'll go first since you already know Tatenashi," Jiang clears her throat before speaking. "I'm former Vice president Jiang Xiaoyu and I like skateboarding, playing video games, and reading. I am also a third year honours student with a 4.0 GPA unweighted." She then looks to Sofia to introduce herself.
"Hi, my name is Sofia Lopez and I'm the student council Historian. I'm in my junior year and my favorite things to do are reading, writing, dressing up, and video games. In my spare time, I do ASMR videos for Youtube with a subscription count of 25K since 2018 and I speak four different languages. Spanish, French. English, and Japanese," the girl in the maid style uniform introduces herself. She then looks towards the girl with glasses to introduce herself.
"Hello I'm Azumi Sakamoto and I'm a senior," she awkwardly begins. "I've been living in the USA for almost my entire life before returning to Japan when the war broke out. I'm the Student Council Secretary and my hobbies include reading, writing poetry, and-" She pauses, unsure of herself before looking towards the rest of the student council. The student council gives Azumi a look of reassurance, encouraging her to continue speaking. "I….I….I like to sing!" Azumi finally yells. She covers her face in embarrassment.
"Sing?" Matthew quizzes.
Azumi nods yes, still covering her face in embarrassment.
"That's cool. What's your favorite band?" Matthew asks again.
"I...I like BTS and AKB48," she quietly mumbles.
"That's cool, I like AKB48 as well," he reveals.
"Wait really?!" she exclaims uncovering her face. "What's your favorite song?" she eagerly asks, almost getting on top of the table. Mine is The Fall-in-Love Fortune Cookie!"
He turns a bright red regretting his decision to reveal he likes AKB48. "Ermmm, how about I tell you about my current favorite rock band Sabaton," the boy insists.
"What?!...Sabaton? Do you mean that one rock band that glorifies war?" she inquires. She cocks her eyebrow and tilts her head to one side in confusion.
"I wouldn't say glorify but yea they write songs about the great historical battles from the past wars," Matthew explains.
Azumi and the student council eyeball Matthew before evilly smiling and sending chills down his spine. "So back to the previous question, what's your favorite song from AKB48?" Tatenashi interrogates playfully.
"Hey, why are we going back to the previous question," Matthew nervously asks with a big voice crack causing the student council to pounce.
"Are you scared to tell us your favorite song from AKB48?" Azumi interrogates in a playful tone with an evil smile.
"NO!" Matthew retorts almost yelling.
The student council laughs at Matthews outburst.
"MATTHEW IS EMBARRASSED! MATTHEW IS EMBARRASSED!" the council chants both annoying and embarrassing the teen even more.
"ALRIGHT!" he yells shutting the council up. "My favorite song is-" he takes a deep breath in and prepares to be laughed at. "Is…. Heavy Rotation!" He stammers closing his eyes, preparing to be laughed at.
The council stares at Matthew with blank faces before bursting into laughter.
"Heavy Rotation! HAHAHAHA! You must be that lonely to like that song!" the girl with short coral pink hair with a red bow tie yells.
"I bet he has never had a girlfriend before!" Sofia squeals out, laughing as well.
Matthew is feeling both pissed and ashamed, and doesn't realize he has clenched his fists and abruptly stands up knocking over his chair and screams.
"Oh yeah?! I bet you guys never had a boyfriend before so who is the lonely one now! HAHAHAHA! Matthew retorts.
The Student Council fell silent with shocked and hurt faces because of what he just said to them. Matthew stands there stunned at what he just did.
"Ow…...that hurt," Sofia says in a hurt tone.
"Yea… we were just playing with you that's all," the girl with the red bow tie mimics Sofia.
"Yea. Do you not know how to take a joke?" Jiang scolds Matthew.
Tatenashi just sits there on her chair, glaring at Matthew with a scary but spurious face. Matthew gulps feeling goosebumps on his back. She tilts her head sideways whilst looking directly into his eyes, her expression telling the teen to apologize now or prepare to die.
Mathew gulps and agrees to her terms and bows apologetically to the council.
"I am deeply sorry for my outburst and swear to the bottom of my heart that I will never do it again. In addition, tomorrow I will pay for your school lunch no matter the cost," Matthew sincerely says. He bows at the end to show he means it.
They eye him for a while as he stands there, suffering. "Alright. We'll be sure to buy the most expensive item on the lunch menu," Tatenashi responds. She earns nods of approval from the council.
Matthew, feeling sick at what the blue haired girl said, has a hard time replying to her response before finally forcing himself to spit out his words. "Very well," he chokes out before bowing again. He sits back down followed by everybody else. Stupid council attacks me first and they cant take my insult as a joke? Hmph. When I do it to my friends back in America, we take our insults as a joke or an actual insult to which we insult each other back where it turns into a game on who can insult the other better than the other. He recalls to himself. Maybe my brother is right? You can't talk to a girl as if they were a guy, but then again girls back in America aren't this sensitive. He ponders further to himself until he is broken out of his trail of thoughts by Tatenashi.
"Now that's out of the way. Shall we continue on with introductions?" she reminds everybody.
"Oh yeah that's right! I'm Sayori Fukuzawa. A senior to be precise, and I'm the Student Council's public relations person. Before you ask me, yes I am very talkative and sometimes an air head. But I make up for it with my awesome school grades! But anyways, I like gardening, cuddling, gaming, reading, cheerleading, and singing!" the girl with short coral pink hair with a red bow tie happily introduces herself.
"Of course, you already know me so I don't need to introduce myself again," Tatenashi says finishing off introductions.
"It is very nice to meet you all. I hope we all get along for the next few years," Matthew says with a smile.
Tatenashi leans over to Jiang and whispers something to her. Jiang whispers something back before Tatenashi whispers to her again causing her to laugh. They part ways and Tatenashi begins to speak. "Right so I think it's time to brief you on what the vice president does."
"As the VP it is your job to represent the president if she's not here. It is also your job to protect the president from anybody that wishes to harm her," Jiang adds in.
"It is also your duty to do whatever I say for you to do." Tatenashi grins, holding her folding fan up to her mouth.
"What? Wait, is that really true?" Matthew exclaims.
"Yeah, isn't that right, girls?" Tatenashi and Jiang look towards the rest of the council who reluctantly shake their heads in agreement.
"Oh. I see," Matthew quietly mumbles. Did I just sign my freedom away?
"That pretty much covers what the vice president does so I'll go over the other jobs that make up the student council," the blue haired girl says, finishing her explanation. She then looks towards Jiang to explain everything else.
"Right so public relations manages all external communications for the Student Council. The historian is responsible for documenting the important events for the student council. Then we have the secretary who is responsible for writing down notes on the topic we are discussing. We have the treasurer who is in charge of maintaining the student council budget and money related issues and finally we have the president and as you already know, she's in charge," Jiang briefly explains.
"I see," Matthew responds, taking everything in.
"Aw shit! We only have 10 minutes before class starts!" Sofia exclaimed in a panicked tone getting up from her seat followed by the rest of the council including Matthew.
"I still need to write a speech addressing why I'm suddenly resigning my position as vice president," Jiang proclaims while grabbing her bag. "You should prepare a speech for yourself since the students will be expecting it," she says before leaving the council room followed by Sayori and Azumi, leaving Matthew all alone with Tatenashi.
"I guess we better get moving," Matthew says, grabbing his handbag.
Tatenashi nods in agreement as she follows Matthew out the council room and to their own separate class.
A few hours later
Matthew revises his speech for the eighth time in the past hour.
"To the good and loyal students of the I.S. academy," the teenage boy reads off in his head.
"Good and loyal? Isn't there a word for those two words combined?" he ponders to himself.
"Yamamoto?!' a feminine voice booms over to Matthew causing him to jump in fear.
Matthew looks up from his speech to his sexy science teacher Miss Nakamura.
She wears the standard I.S. pilot uniform for females, with a long science coat over it. She also wears matching sneakers, and a pair of goggles resting on her head. Finally she has long chocolate brown hair with matching eyes and has what Matthew believes to be D cup breasts.
"Matthew!" Miss Nakamura calls again.
"Y-yes!" Matthew nervously answers.
She studies him for a second, as if she were thinking of a way to publicly execute him in front of the class. "What do you call the process by which plants, and other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water?"
He thinks to himself before answering."Photosynthesis?" he finally responds, praying he answered correctly.
"That's correct, thank you Matthew. Now class, Photosynthesis is indeed what Matthew said and we will be talking more about this tomorrow," Miss Nakamura finishes.
As if on cue, the bell rings and everybody begins to pack up and exit the classroom. Matthew folds his speech up and puts it in his pocket, exiting the classroom and into the crowd of students where he meets Ichika.
"Hey Ichika," Matthew greets.
Ichika turns to Matthew and responds. "Hey Matthew."
"So how was lunch?" Matthew starts off.
"Lunch was…" Ichika pauses looking for a word. "Weird."
"Weird?" Matthew cocks his eyes and crosses his arms towards Ichika. "How so?"
"I don't know, the girls were glaring at each other the whole time as if they were enemies rather than friends and Houki was giving me the stink eye again. When I asked what was wrong, she said nothing was wrong in her usual grumpy voice," Ichika explains in an annoyed tone.
"Wait, I thought you were having lunch with Cecilia?" Matthew points out.
"I did, she had the best sandwiches I ever had in my life. Anyways, I also invited Charles, Rin, and Houki for our welcome picnic to welcome Charles to the academy," the Japanese teen explains.
"I see." So it's not just Cecilia who likes Ichika, it's also Houki and Rin who like him as well. Never in my entire life would I have ever expected to see Ichika in a harem. Matthew lets out a fake sigh. "I don't know, I think this thing will blow off by the end of the day so you shouldn't spend your time thinking about it."
"You think so?" Ichika asks.
Matthew gives him a reassuring smile. "I'm sure of it. What food did they bring?" he inquires.
"Well, Rin brought her famous orange chicken which is the best and you have to try it someday. Houki brought sushi which is also really good and I recommend that you also try it, and Cecilia brought sandwiches which are the best. Better than the Subway sandwiches I would have from time to time," Ichika remarks.
"I see." NOBODY CAN DEFEAT ME IN A SANDWICH MAKING CONTEST! "And how about Charles?" Matthew asks.
"Charles," Ichika pauses to think about his answer. "Charles was pretty average for a new kid I guess but something is off about him."
"Like what?" Matthew asks, cocking his eye.
"I…I don't know exactly, I can't put my finger on it," Ichika explains, putting his hand on his chin. "Oh well, It's not worth our time to think about it."
"Yeah I guess so." Matthew dozes into thought about Charles before pulling himself back to reality. "So what are you going to do now?"
"Well, I'm going to the arena to train with Houki and Cecilia with my I.S. Usually Rin comes along and helps train me but she has to go to the Student Council meeting so she can't train me today."
"I see, are you learning anything from them?" the teen inquires.
"Yea I guess," Ichika answers in a less enthusiastic tone. "Say, will you be able to train me today?" he asks, his voice dangerous close to begging.
"Sorry man, I can't today. I have a meeting with the Student Council," Matthew answers.
"Oh, I see," Ichika says, disappointment clear in his voice. "I better be going now, I don't want to piss Houki off again."
"Yea, I'll see you tomorrow then," Matthew replies.
The two teens walk in their separate directions until Matthew bumps into Cecilia who looks absolutely pissed.
Matthew nods his head hello to Cecilia as he approaches her.
Cecilia nods her head back as she approaches Matthew.
"Hey Cecilia, how was your day?"
"Terrible!" the British blondie replies in an irritated tone.
Uh oh. Matthew thinks to himself.
"Ichika is so dense! He goes on to invite me over for a lunch date and proceeds to invite my rivals, ON OUR LUNCH DATE! I mean did he just invite them to irritate me? Or did he just invite them to irritate all of us by bringing Charles as an excuse?" Cecilia rants whilst throwing up arm and hand gestures.
"I mean, from what he told me, he invited all of you to welcome Charles since it's his first day so I wouldn't call him dense and instead, you all misinterpreted his invitation as a lunch date." Matthew alludes.
"But still, when any of the other girls or I hint that we like him, he just plays it off and plays dumb," Cecilia explains
Matthew opens his mouth to speak but Cecilia cuts him off.
"I've hinted to him so many times that I like him and he still doesn't know. Even during lunch when Houki, Rin and I shared our food with him, he still doesn't know that we like him. He is just so dull and dense," Cecilia rants.
"I see," Matthew goes into a deep thought before answering Cecilia. "Maybe you should just confront him and tell him that you like him instead of just hinting about it. He can't act dense then," Matthew answers.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT'S BAD TACTICS!" Cecilia yells.
Matthew jumps in surprise from Cecilia's sudden outburst. "SHHHHH! Shut up! You want everybody to hear you?" he shushes Cecilia.
Cecilia turns red realizing her sudden outburst as she is stared at by her fellow peers in the hallway. She nervously smiles and waves at everybody halfway in embarrassment before turning back to Matthew.
"What do you mean by bad tactics anyways?" Matthew inquires in English, raising his eyebrow to Cecilia.
Cecilia blushes realizing her fault.
"Well, a lady needs to play," she says, having switched over to English before pausing, thinking of how she wants to explain it. "Hard to get to her potential suitor or crush," Cecilia finishes while beet red in embarrassment.
Matthew looks at her with a quizzical expression. "Play hard to get?' Matthew repeats to himself over and over again. "Play hard to get? What's that?" Matthew bluntly asks.
Cecilia facepalms and begins mumbling to herself in an incoherent manner as she turns around and throws up her arms as if she was yelling but nothing but a peep escapes her mouth.
He stares at Cecilia in confusion before realizing what playing hard to get means. "OHHH!" Matthew exclaims.
Cecilia turns to Matthew with a puzzled expression.
"Now I know what hard to get means," Matthew grins as he watches Cecilia stammer over her insults and hand gestures towards him. Her face is mixed from embarrassment and annoyance before she finally sighs in defeat, her arms slow lowering back down.
"Nevermind." she mumbles.
Matthew chuckles to himself. "Soooo," he drawls out slowly.
Cecilia looks back up at Matthew.
"I see you still have those sandwiches I made earlier," Matthew indicates to the basket in Cecilia's right hand.
Cecilia looks down to the basket of sandwiches. "What about them?" Cecilia tonelessly asks.
"Well I was wondering how much is left?" he asks, scratching the back of his head.
"Last I checked, there were about twenty slices left," Cecilia tonelessly answers.
"Fantastic!" Matthew shouts, scaring Cecilia. "Sorry. It's just that I was just appointed as the new vice president for the Student Council and I thought I should bring some food to pass out to everybody to make a good impression on myself. I was wondering if I could have my sandwiches back?" Matthew explains.
"Sure, it was getting heavy to haul around anyways," Cecilia hands over the basket to the teen who gladly takes it.
"Thanks, I'll be sure to make more for you later on and if you need my help with cooking or spying on Ichika, then call me up." Matthew bows goodbye to Cecilia who bows goodbye as well.
"Congrats on becoming the vice president by the way," Cecilia hollers to Matthew.
"Thank you!" Matthew hollers back "Right, off to the auditorium."
He walks down the flight of stairs and down the hall and out of the main classroom buildings. Continuing on he follows the main street of the I.S. academy toward the club room sectors, where he finds his way through a crowd of people to the Student Council room. Matthew knocks on the door before entering. To the left of the room, Matthew finds Tatenashi, Jiang Xiaoyu and Beverly arguing with one another. On the opposite end of the table are Azumi and Sayori who are watching the three fight.
"So what? YOU'RE GONNA REPLACE HER WITH SOME HORNY ASS PLAYBOY WHO HAS NO EXPERIENCE OF LEADERSHIP OR GOVERNMENT SKILLS OF WHATSOEVER!" Beverly yells.
"Yes I do!" Matthew retorts back.
The council turns to Matthew who marches up to Beverly.
"Beverly, I would like to tell you that I'm class 1-A's representative and I would like to be the first to point out that you are the RUDEST AND UGLIEST BITCH THAT I HAVE EVER MET!" Matthew roars.
Beverly stands there shocked. Never in her life has she been yelled at by a man. She opens her mouth to speak but is cut off by Matthew.
"Besides, I'm more qualified to run as vice president than you are, as I am more honest and less politically incorrect than you are," he adds on.
"He is also one of the nicer people that I have ever met, while you just shout out your Feminazi beliefs like a Chihuahua barking loudly," Tatenashi adds.
"Yea, you're a really big meanie Beverly," Sayori adds on.
The entire council glares at Beverly who stands there shocked.
"Well I mean, but-" Beverly stammers, attempting to defend herself to no avail. She stomps her foot against the floor and vents out her air in frustration. Beverly looks towards Matthew with a scowl on her face. "Yamamoto if you ever abuse your power as vice president, I swear to the bottom of my heart that I will make your life hell," she threatens.
"I think you're already doing that Hills," Matthew fires back.
The two glare at one another before Beverly turns on the heel of her foot and leaves the room.
"God she's so annoying," Matthew exclaims.
"You'll get used to it soon," Tatenashi says.
"So, what do we do now?" Matthew asks.
"Well, we were going over Jiang's speech until Beverly caught wind that you were replacing her as vice president and you saw the rest," Sofia explains.
"I see," Matthew mutters.
"I suppose we should make our way to the auditorium to deliver the news," Jiang states.
"Alright," the teen replies.
He then walks over to the door and opens it, letting everybody out before closing the door behind himself.
"You did write down a speech to present to everybody right?" Jiang asks in a concerned voice.
"I did, and I also brought sandwiches," he raises the basket of sandwiches to the side of his head to show her.
"Oh that's even better!" Jiang Xiaoyu exclaims with a smile. She catches the attention of the rest of the council.
"Ooh sandwiches! My favorite!" Sayori squeals. "May I have one?" Sayori asks in a cute tone.
"Go ahead and take one," Matthew replies.
"Sayori reaches into the basket and takes out a triangle shaped sandwich. She then removes the wrapping and bites into the sandwich. "Mmmm!" Sayori lets out a long moan.
Matthew and the rest of the student council stare at her with a confused look.
"I'm sorry but this is just really good, you guys need to try this," Soyori explains before biting into her sandwich again.
The girls look towards Matthew, then towards the basket of sandwiches.
Matthew, knowing what they want, holds out the basket of sandwiches for them to take some. The four girls reach in and take a sandwich out of the basket and begin to unwrap it. Sofia sniffs hers before taking a bite out of it.
"Oh my god!" she exclaims as she continues chewing on the sandwich before swallowing. "This is the best sandwich that I've ever had."
Tatenashi and Jiang Xiaoyu bite into their sandwiches and immediately fall in love with it.
"This is so good, this is something out of a great restaurant for sure," Jiang exclaims.
"I thought you grew up in a sushi restaurant?" Tatenashi mentions.
"Well before our restaurant was a cosplay cafe where we sold coffee, doughnuts, cake, salads, sandwiches, pancakes, and anything that was breakfast or dessert related," Matthew explains with pride.
"I'm guessing everything you listed was made from scratch," Tatenashi asks.
"Hell yea, I remember my dad telling me once that the way for a woman to fall in love with you is through her stomach," Matthew explains. "That's how my mom fell in love with my dad."
The girls nod in approval at Matthew's story.
The group continue their way out of the club room buildings and towards the main auditorium where they meet Beverly who is talking to her friends.
"That's the debate club," Tatenashi whispers into Matthew's ear.
"Damn they're ugly," Matthew bluntly whispers back.
Tatenashi snickers at the teen's remark.
"Are they all femanazis?" Matthew asks.
"Not all of them," she answers.
"Which are?"
"The ones in charge of the debate club are feminazis, and below them are….mixed," the blue haired President explains.
"Mixed?" Matthew asks, confused.
"Some are normal feminists that don't hate men, some are die hard feminists and some are neutral and talk about other subjects," Tatenashi clarifies.
"I see," he says in disappointment.
The council makes their way to the stage where a long table with five chairs awaits. In front of the table is a tall white podium with the I.S. Academy logo inscribed in a circle on it.
Jiang Xiaoyu turns and faces Matthew. "You have your speech ready right?" she asks.
"I do," The teen responds.
"Good, I'm going to have you greet everybody at the main entrance with Tatenashi. She'll help you point out the club groups and their leaders as well as the class representatives and officers alright?"
Matthew nods his head in agreement. "Okay."
"Good, and be sure not to tell everybody that you're the new vice president. I want it to be a surprise and also make sure you offer the rest of your sandwiches to everybody with a smile." Jiang Xiaoyu then walks back to her bag leaving her two friends alone.
Tatenashi wraps her arms around Matthew's right arm causing his mind to freeze. "Let's get going," she says seductively in his ear.
"O-okay," the teen stammers. Never has any girl done this to me. Should I be embarrassed or should embrace this?
She drags him to the main entrance where they begin greeting club members and class representatives and officers of the individual grade levels.
20 minutes roll by and the auditorium is completely packed with students from different clubs talking loudly among each other. Around this time, Matthew's sandwich bag has completely run out as he continues to greet everybody entering the auditorium.
So many clubs and club members. Over a dozen clubs with 20 to 45 members, and a total of 50 to 60 members for each of the big league clubs like the Kendo club to the golfing club. Even the much smaller ones like the ceremonial tea serving club to the anime club have a total of 15 to 20 members! To think the academy would have only 15 clubs was a mistake. I should have known a big international school like this would have even more clubs than I originally thought.
"Hey," Tatenashi whispers into his ear.
He looks back towards Tatenashi who gestures her hand to the group of people in front of her.
He looks to the people in front of him and finds Haven leading the group. "Hey Haven, it's nice to see you again," He says in English. He reaches out to shake Haven's hand, which she accepts.
She smiles before speaking. "Hey Matthew, what are you doing here among all the places?'
Matthew crosses his arms. "Oh you know, I'm just saying hello to all the clubs and their members, that's all. What about you?"
"I'm here to represent the Automotive club, I'm the leader if you didn't know that," she says, full of pride.
"Damn, I never knew that. You know, my brother and I love cars. Usually when we get the chance, we would sneak out in our dad's Subaru Impreza Wrx Sti and drift around in the quiet parts of Las Vegas," he says.
"Really?" she replies, a tinge of jealousy coming through in her tone. "Wow. I wish I had an older brother or sister who knew how to drift."
"Yea. That was before the war though," he says, his tone showing a hint of sadness. His smile fades into a frown. The teen shakes his head and looks back to Haven. "So anyways what do you guys do in the Automotive club? I'm in autos and I must say it's really fun."
"In the club we usually talk about car and car related problems and practice using the tire machine, wheel balancer, and sometimes oil changes and tire changers. For some of the most advanced students like me, we're working on repairing a Nissan skyline R32," Haven explains.
"An R32!" Matthew exclaims.
"I know right, we're almost done with the engine rebuild and if you want, you can stop by in IA-5," she says.
"I sure will when I get the chance," Matthew says in excitement.
"Excuse me but what are you guys saying?" Tatenashi asks interrupting the two.
Matthew looks back to Tatenashi and remembers that she doesn't speak English. "Sorry about that Tatenashi. We were just talking about the Automotive club and car related topics," he explains.
"I see," Tatenashi mumbles. "Well It's nice to see you guys again so please come inside and find a seat. The meeting will start shortly," she says to Haven.
"Alright well it was nice to see you again," Haven says to Matthew.
"I'll see you later then."
"Yea I'll see you around," the blonde says. Haven and the rest of the Automotive group enter the auditorium leaving the pair alone.
Tatenashi nudges Matthew's arm. "You know her?" she asks.
He looks back at Tatenashi. "Yeah, she's a friend I made a while back," he explains.
"Oh okay." Tatenashi looks back down the hallway with Matthew following suit.
Just then Jiang steps into their view. "Are you guys ready to begin the meeting?" she nervously asks.
"Yes," Tatenashi answers. "Are you?"
"Of course," Jiang breaths in. "I just need to mentally prepare myself you know." She breathes out and back in. "You guys head on stage, I'm gonna stay here and prepare myself," she says in a calmer tone.
The pair nod in agreement and leave the vice president alone. Once on stage, Tatenashi and Matthew take a seat next to Sayori.
"Is she ok?" Matthew asks Tatenashi.
"She is, that's usually how she prepares herself before speaking to a big audience," she explains.
"Oh ok." He then watches as Beverly walks up the stage and sits next to himself. He glances over to Beverly who sits cross legged watching the audience. She's definitely watching me. The teen then glances back to Jiang who is now marching up the stage as the crowd falls silent. Jiang reaches the pedestal and activates the microphone.
"Hello everybody, thank you for coming today," She begins. "I have gathered you here today because I am resigning my position as vice president because-"
"But why?" a girl from the crowd interjects. She is quickly hushed by the people around her.
"Sorry," the girl whisper yells.
Jiang Xiaoyu rolls her eyes and shakes her head in disapproval. "It's alright but anyways back on topic." She clears her throat before speaking. "I am resigning my position because of the war."
The crowd gasps and the cameras flicker to life from the student news.
She pauses and takes a deep breath and exhales. "The war has taken its toll on most of us here and I thought I could bear the burdens of war until my senior year. But with the NATO air force bombings over my home city Bejing, my family has suffered even more. After the death of my older brother during the Battle of Busan and the death of my….." she stops and begins to tear up. "With the death of my mom and baby sister during last week's bombing raid over Beijing," she spits out over her sobbing.
The room falls silent as everybody is filled with shock and sorrow at what they just learned.
"But we must tilt our heads high and look towards a brighter future as we take the war one day at a time," she croaks as she covers her face and begins to cry softly.
The room is filled with her crying as well as some other students who also broke down remembering their loved ones who died in the war.
Jiang quickly stands up and places her hands on both ends of the podium. "This is why I am resigning my position as vice president. If only I was there then maybe they would still be here," she says, wiping the tears away from her face. "But this doesn't answer the question on who my successor will be. After the council and I argued over and over again we all decided that Matthew Yamamoto shall be my successor as he is more qualified and fit for the position of vice president."
"WHY HIM?!" a girl yells getting up from her seat. "Beverly is more qualified and more fit than that thing is!" she yells pointing at Matthew "AND-"
"ENOUGH JESSICA! LET ME FINISH!" Jiang yells both into the mic shutting Jessica up. "I think Yamamoto is more fit than Hills since he believes in a more peaceful approach than Beverly who would just destroy her own problems rather than look for a peaceful approach!" Jiang yells, her voice full of anger.
Jiang and some other students glare at Jessica who sits back down while returning the glare. Jiang turns back to the audience. "Besides, I think it's time that the I.S. Academy had their very first male vice president and I assure you that he won't turn the student government into a dictatorship. If you still don't accept him then please accept him as my very last order and wish as vice president of the academy."
Jiang bows and steps down from the podium with thunderous applause from the audience as she walks back to her seat and passes Matthew. In return he walks up to the podium and faces the audience. The room falls silent as everyone sees Mattthew is on the podium.
"To the good and loyal students of the I.S. Academy." Matthew begins nervously sweating. "I, Matthew Yamamoto, solemnly swear to fulfill your expectations as vice president. I will do my very best to fill the duties of this role. I intend to keep the peace and to ensure everybody's wishes for the school festivals and club activities each club has planned." He takes a deep breath in and out before continuing on. "I will also defend the Student Council and it's laws as if I too were a soldier, just like my brother who died defending those he loved as he fought the enemy in front of him." Matthew feels a small piece of his heart being ripped out as he speaks but manages to keep a strong face. "I hope you will all accept me as your new vice president as I too am ready to serve you all," Matthew bows, earning a thunderous applause from the audience.
Matthew steps down from the podium and walks past Tatenashi who is moving to take his place and takes a sits back on his chair.
"Thank you Yamaoto and Xiaoyu for your speeches. Now on with further announcements. The panty culprit will be stopped right now as I am sending eight more members from Student Security to guard the laundromat. Those caught rummaging through someone else's laundry will be apprehended, fined, and will be sent to detention for 8 months. As for the fire alarm incident today, please don't do it again or I'll be forced to cancel this year's Christmas party. Last but not least, please stop trailing the boys as if they were living gods. I don't think they like it. Thank you for coming and if anybody has questions then feel free to come on up and ask away and if not then you are free to go," Tatenashi announces.
Immediately after, everybody gets up from their seats and begin to either exit or approach the council with questions.
"Yamamoto, how do you feel about Jessica's sudden outburst against you?" one of the interviewers asks.
"Do you really have governing experience as vice president?" another reporter asks.
Matthew quickly stands up from his seat as he is swarmed by student reporters."I do and-" This is going to be a long day. Sigh.
After about 10 minutes of being bombarded with questions, the student news team finally leaves the teen and the council alone.
"Phew. That was exhausting. What now?" the teen asks.
Jiang turns and faces Matthew. "Well I need to start packing, I leave tomorrow morning," she explains.
"And we're going to help her pack," Tatenashi adds, implying that the rest of the council is helping as well.
"Oh…I see…I guess I'll see you back in our room?" he asks.
"Yea. I'll see you there," she replies.
"Alright I'll see you then." Matthew bows goodbye to the council and walks out of the auditorium and back to his shared dorm room.
A few hours later.
"GET IN THE CAR! HOLY FUCK!" Matthew yells in a panicked tone, getting into the Karin Sultan RS classic.
John runs to the car and stops abruptly. "Aww shit. My keyboard disconnected again. DEFEND ME!" he yells.
Al stops and turns around to fire at the oncoming SWAT team."Oh my god not this shit again."
Alejandro turns to fire at the oncoming police but is shotgunned by a police officer hiding behind a concrete support beam. "FUUUUUUUCK! FUCK GTA 5 and their overpowered shotguns." Banging could be heard from Alejandro's mic.
"Fuck, at least you respawned," Al says, trying to calm him down.
"Yea in the parking garage of the bank!" the Latino kid cries.
Just then John's character starts moving to the car. "Alright I got my keyboard fixed, Lets go!" he yells as he enters the car.
Al hops into the car as Matthew pulls up next to him.
"Step on it!" both John and Al scream.
Matthew slams the gas pedal and runs over two SWAT officers and avoids the oncoming cop cars entering the parking garage. The teen then crashes his car into more officers as he enters the bank's parking garage to collect Alejandro. "Get the fuck in!" he screams.
Alejandro runs to the car and enters via passenger side and immediately joins his two American friends shooting the police.
Matthew floors the gas pedal out of the bank's loading garage and drifts back onto the road with a convoy of police cars on his tail. His friends shoot at the police cars as Matthew speeds away.
"Get us into the sewers!" Al yells firing at the oncoming police.
"Roger roger!" Matthew yells back. He then steps onto the break and steers the car right and performs an awesome drift onto the highway. Dancing queen! Dancing to everything the DJ feels is right! Hey! Hey! Hey!" he sings along to the radio. The teen continues down the Los Santos highway. Avoiding cops and oncoming traffic as he speeds by with his friends going wild with their automatic pistols against the police until finally, Matthew comes into view with the tunnel entrance to the sewer. He steers his car into the tunnel and into the sewer tunnels where he drives into the subway tracks and stops the car.
The four watch their stars blink repeatedly as the police search them.
John raises his hands to rub his face. "Jesus Christ we almost died there." He begins laughing loudly to himself. "Matthew, that was some sick driving there."
"Thanks, that's why I'm always the getaway driver for you guys," Matthew proudly says with a smug look on his face.
"Yea but anyways, how's school going for you?" he asks.
"School is going well, I got into two fights with two representatives that I won," Matthew remarks.
"We saw the live stream a few weeks back and holy shit, you had us on our toes when you and that Chinese representative knocked each other out," Al mentions.
"That mysterious I.S. that broke in to kidnap you had us scared for you," Alejandro mentions.
"It's lucky you came out alive with a few broken bones but at least you're alright now," John adds.
"Oh, today I became the vice president of the student council," Matthew remarks.
"Really, how did that happen?" John asks.
"Well it all started when-" Matthew continues on to explain why he became the vice president.
"Damn. That sucks for her," Al says.
"That will be us soon because of that draft," Al adds.
"Draft!" Matthew exclaims. "What draft?"
"The draft Congress passed two years back which requires all adults at the age of 18-34, to serve in the armed forces for six years," Al explains.
"Oh yea that draft." I almost forgot about that draft.
"That's why we are studying our asses off to join the Air Force," Al explains.
"You three?" Matthew inquires.
"It's either that or the Coast Guard," John answers.
"I see, well good luck with that," The teen driver says.
"Thanks," his three friends say at the same time.
"Jinx!" Matthew calls out immediately.
The four teens laugh to themselves before falling silent again.
An awkward silence settles upon the group before Al spoke again. "So, what's the student council like and what are the members of the council like?"
Well there's Tatenashi who's also my roommate and bodyguard and-"
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" John interjects. "This is the same girl that tried seducing you on your first day right?"
His three friends fall into a fit of laughter as he tries to shut them up. "No, she was just flirting with me." I think.
His friends quiet down again. "Hey Matthew, do you want me to suck your dick?" John asks, mimicking a girl's voice.
The other group members laugh at John's antics as Matthew yells at them to shut up.
John and Al exit the car and walk up to each other.
Al's character throws money around. "Why yes, how much is it?" he asks, mimicking Matthew's voice.
John's character starts thrusting the air. "Nothing. It's for free!" he replies mimicking a girl's voice.
Al gasps. "Free!" his character puts up a shocked emoji.
Just then, the USSR anthem starts playing from John's mic causing the group to fall out of their chairs in a fit of laughter until finally coughing uncontrollably and stopping.
"You got me there assholes," Matthew says through his heavy breathing.
John lifts up his mic and tilts it to the right side. "It's free real estate," he whispers into the mic, sending shivers down his three friends. He then moves the mic back to its original position. "No homo by the way," he adds in his normal voice. He then moves his mic back to the front of his face and begins to make sex sound through his mic. "Oh yea you like that Matthew!" he says in a sexy girl voice.
"Oh my fucking god shut the fuck up John," Matthew scolds.
John smiles to himself. "You like it when I use my feet like this and-"
A loud bang can be heard though the microphone. "John shut up! We can hear you from outside," a feminine voice shouts through John's mic.
"Sorry mom!" John yells back.
The three friends snicker to themselves as John was yelled at by his mom.
John lets out a loud sigh of annoyance. "So who are the rest of the members that make up the government?" he perks up again as if he wasn't scolded.
Matthew shakes his head and rolls his eyes. "Well we have Azumi Sakamoto the secretary, she's quiet and…average I guess. Then we have Sayori who is public relations. She's very talkative and told me she's kind of an airhead but I didn't see that from her."
"Hmph. I guess you'll find out later," Alejandro interjects.
"I guess but anyways, we then have Sofia whose uniform is similar to a maids uniform and-"
"You hear that Alejandro? We found your girlfriend," John blurts out.
"Shut up!" Alejandro retorts.
John chuckles to himself before shutting up.
"Anyways, Sofia is pretty normal besides owning a ASMR Youtube channel and before you ask Alejandro, yes she is Spanish."
John snickers to himself. "You hear that Alejandro, you have a chance with her," he jokingly says.
"Shut up," Alejandro retorts clearly annoyed.
"Yea and finally we have Beverly. The most annoying piece of shit that I've ever met," the teen says, the anger clear in his tone.
"How so?" John pokes at Matthew.
"HOW SO? HOW SO?"
"Uh oh," Al says getting ready for a rant.
"First of all she started insulting me when I came into her view and then she started accusing me of stuff that I didn't do and then-" Matthew's rant continues on for another 10 minutes before Al stops him.
"Ok ok we get it, she's a fucking bitch. Now can you drive us to the check mark so we can get over this auto shop mission?" Al says annoyed.
"Oh yeah that's right," Matthew then drives out of the sewer tunnel and onto the highway.
"So how's school going for you guys?" the teen driver asks.
"Nothing much, how about you John?" Al asks.
"Well do you remember Jacob?" John says.
"You mean the fat kid that likes to bully others on social media and is friends with the cool kids?" Matthew quizzes.
"Yea, he wants to fight me tomorrow," John explains.
Matthew starts laughing uncontrollably. "You mean that fat buffoon against you? What did you do to piss him off? Did you steal his food or something?" Matthew cries.
"No, I sold answers to him last Friday for the math test and he failed because the answers were wrong and blames me for it and now he wants to fight me now," John explains.
"Why don't you just give his money back?" Matthew asks.
"I tried but he still wants to fight me," he replies.
"I see. Well, it's his fault for vaping and gaming all day long and failing his math test and he is blaming you because you gave him the wrong answers."
"No no no. According to a friend I have in Mr. Pendry's class, the test was different from the practice test we were assigned a week prior," John explains.
"Oh that's weird, Mr. Pendry never did that with my class," Matthew states.
"Yea until now."
"Well, be sure to kick his ass," Matthew says.
"Will do."
The group finally makes it to the drop off, ending the mission.
"Well we better get off guys, it's 4:00 AM over in Nevada," Al announces.
"Yea I better head off too," Matthew says.
The teens say their good nights before leaving call.
Matthew shuts down his gaming laptop for the night and gets into his bed before turning off the light and laying down to reflect today's events before falling asleep.
