Chapter 3 - Chapter.3

As I open my eyes once again, what I see is unfamiliar white ceiling and I can smell something like alcohol this is not the ceiling that i see before i lay down on my bed before

.

"Ugh, where am i?"

"Finally wake up aren't you?"

"And you are?"

To the direction of the voice there's a man that using lab coat while having casual attire underneath it. He got a face that not so cool but not that bad either I guess you can call it average, but if there's a person like that, it means…

"I'm the teacher in charge of this health facility , everyone call me Jose."

"Ummm may I ask why I'm here?"

"It seems you collapse while the principal giving speech at this morning event and they hurriedly bring you here , you cause quite a ruckus back there."

"Ah is that so I'm sorry."

As I check my wrist watch it seems I out for around 30 minutes.

"The ceremony is?"

"Ah the speech and school introduction should be finished by now and they should have start with with club introduction already."

"I guess I need to back soon then ."

"Are you sure ? if you still feel under the weather you can lay down for a bit more you know."

"Ah thank you for your consideration thank you teach."

"Yeah, you're welcome. You know your way back right? Or you need me to accompany you, since you are new student after all."

"Ah that's fine as long as I got this book here I will not lost my way."

I reveal the small book that been given by the committee this morning

"Ah is that so , be careful then."

"Once again thank you."

As I closed the door I walk to the direction of the auditorium.

"I wonder if that's really a dream."

The scene before felt too real after all , as I poke my ears there's nothing like tube there so I guess it really a dream after all. But the hand and the environment is really feels like I at that place , I wonder if even the dreams evolve nowadays.

"That really stupid."

As I keep walking down the stairs and walk as the map direct me soon I reach the auditorium. When I go inside it seems one of the club give presentation already.

"And like that please join the Liberal Art Club."

There's applause and that marks the end of Liberal art club presentation as they leave the stage and the MC is back to the center of the stage.

"Thank you for the performance by Liberal art club next we will have another performance by the drama club."

I hurriedly spot an empty seat at the back row , I have no nerve to back to my previous seat because of the commotion that happened before.

Looking at various performance by the club that supposed to attract people to the club somehow I not interested to join any club by now. At the junior high school I join the volleyball club but I not too good at that and almost never play except at practice. As I keep thinking which club should I join or I better not join at all, they reach to the last club for today.

"Hello everyone we are from the survival club."

It seems they are come from a club that do survival training like what will happen when you stranded at deserted island or something where you need to use everything around you to survive another day.

"Thank you everyone."

"Thank you for the survival club that marks the end of our program this time as all of the 78 clubs that officially registered at this school already make their promotional performance. Are anyone of you already know which club they going to attend?"

Some people yell yes and some yell no.

"There's seems to be some people that have not yet decide but don't worry there's no rush since there's no limit time for application. And as that was our last program once again I on behalf of the student council welcome the new student to this school and welcome back to the second and third year. Thank you very much and for the new student there's board outside the room that will show you your designated class please check after that you guys can go to your own class using map that provided to you before."

As that was the cue everyone start getting out of the auditorium except teacher and some students that probably either on committee or student council.

As I go to the board surprisingly there's not too many people because there's 5 place with the same board that show the students designated classroom.

There's 10 class for this year and it range from 10-A to 10-J. I carefully check my name on the board and after a while I found my name on 10-F. after double check if that's indeed my name I go to the class room using the map on the brochure.

It seems the first year is placed on third floor and my class is on the right wing of the school building. Indeed for a school this place is really big but it not a wonder because the student is this much so the school must be big enough to fit all the student body.

Not for long I reach the classroom and our seats already predetermined already so I seat where I designated to. my seat is on the furthest back of the room which is a bit inconvenient because there's quite a distance between me and the board at the front but I guess I will get used to it soon .

Soon after the class is already full and now the time on my watch showing 07.58 it seems our homeroom teacher is the type that come at the exact time.

"Everyone on your seat."

it seems our homeroom teacher is here and as he come everyone sit obediently on their designated seat without any protest.

"Good morning everyone , my name is Liang and as all of you might've been guessed i'm your homeroom teacher for this year, i hope you guys make no trouble and keep strive for whatever reason that motivates you, even if someone have nothing that they aim to be for now use this as chance to found what can and will motivates you. any question?"

the whole class fell silent and it seems no one got any question.

"It seems no one got any question as for that the homeroom time is almost end and i will take my leave. after this there's still no lecture and you guys expected to explore the school and looking for the clubs that you want to join. that's all."

after a short announcement Mr.Liang left the classroom just like that. looking for clubs , i wonder if i should join the survival club they are the only one to interest me afterall.

"Hey did you already decided which club you will joining?"

Suddenly a girl that seat in front of me talk to me and i that quite in deep thinking startled from her sudden call.

"Ah sorry if i startled you , My name is Erika nice to meet you."

"No problem i just have something in mind , my name is Rin and as for your question yes i already get the rough idea about the club that i will joining in."

"Eh really? which one?"

Erika suddenly pull her chair so she can sit while facing me.

"It's the survival club."

"Eh what a surprise i not think anyone will choose that club since they seems pretty hard to follow."

"I somehow interested with them and i kinda not suited for sports or art club like that anyways."

"I see so you looking something new that outside of something that unsuited you."

"More or less like that, in junior high school i joined the volleyball club but i have no talent in sport and then i more or less became the manager and do the menial task."

"Too bad eh. What about literature one?"

"I like to read web novels but i guess classic literature not really for me as what i know for classic is more to the play of famous one like shakespeare or something like that after all."

"If like that why not joining the drama club then?"

"Too bad i too shy to act and i can't write script so except being a tree at play i can't really do anything."

"I see if like that i will join survival club with you then!"

"Which part of this conversation that leads to that?"

"No part but i taken liking of you , so i will join that club with you and we are friends now right?"

"Friends..."

Something comes up at my mind and it get silence suddenly

"You not like it to having me as your friend?"

"Ah that's not it of course i glad having you as my friends."

"Likewise, now let's go to the survival club!"

"O...Oh! yeah let's go."

As get swept by the turns of event me and erika walk to the club building that separated from the main building as we look about the club information that written at the small book that given to us. the distance from main building to the club building is quite far since we need to walk around 5 minutes from the main building to get there.

"It written here that the survival club is on the second floor."

when we arrived at the club building there's so many students that also come here before us, apparently they have the same idea as us and making the building quite packed but people still can walk and found their way.

"It seems the stairs is both at the end of the hall so we need to walk quite a bit again."

"No sweat."

As we walk pass through the people around us we finally arrived at second floor and immediately spotted where the survival club room is since in front of the club doors it got the sign that indicating which club that currently accomodate the room. as we knock the door to check if there's someone inside the room someone replying with vigor from inside.

"Yes please come in."

The one that greet us is one of the senior that doing presentation at this morning event. her black hair that styled as ponytail waving while she talk and ask us to come inside to the room. inside the room there's two people except her one is a guy with blonde hair and currently laying down on the sofa while the others is a girl with a black hair and glasses and currently reading some thick book that i can't really tell what kind of book is this. and when we come inside the room the blonde guy wake up and come to us.

"Hello are you both first year?"

"Yes we are."

"Welcome to the survival club, do any of you want tea?"

"Yes please."

As the blond guy interact with us the girl with glasses making the tea using the electric cattle at one side of the room. the room is quite wide and arranged neatly and there's few survival item here and there like emergency rations can food and ropes also emergency lamp.

"Please sit here , do you guys come here for checking club?"

"No actually we already decide that we want to join!"

Erika with quite a vigor declaring that we will join , well nothing wrong since it the truth but her eagerness really on another level.

"Is that so let me get the application form then , it seems the tea also ready please enjoy your stay.

"Yes thank you very much."

the tea is served in a small porcelain glass and we also served cookies to accompany the tea.

"Here is the form, just put your name and class after that sign at the bottom and after that your application will accepted by us."

After drinking the tea we filled the form in no time and give it to the girl with ponytail. it seems she the one in charge at this club.

"Yup and that's two member application. as for now you two are officially member of official club. I'm the club president and my name is Wanda."

"And i Lucy."

"As for me my name is Lucas nice to meet both of you."

"I'm Rin."

"And i Erika , thank you for having us."

As we chat about the club activity it seems that they not meet up everyday and they only meet three times a week and it's on monday, wednesday and friday where they will discuss the content of activity at the weekend, it seems as part of survival club activity we will go to the forest behind the school to learn to survive in everykind of situation be it natural disaster or lost in the mountain or anything like that.

"And that concludes the basic of this club activity , is there any question?"

"Not for me."

"Is there any other members beside five of us?"

"Actually all of us is the only member of this club since most of them already graduate last year."

"Is that so..."

"Well not many people want to join and it's already miracle that this club can still exist based on what our senior said."

"It's not matter after all what's matter is now you guys are here and we will do so many things on this club together."

"Yes senior i will do my best."

"Ah..., i will do my best too..."

After that we chatting a while before me and erika decided to back to our classroom because it's almost lunchtime.

"Senior, we will back for now since it's almost lunch time."

"Ah you certainly right we also need to go to cafeteria soon."

"Good bye senior let's meet again next wednesday."

"bye."

As we bid farewell and close the door we walk slowly back to our classroom. the hall is still having many people but not as many as first time we walk here and we have more room to walk this time. as i talk with erika about our lunch at the stairs i suddenly feel like i flying.

"Ah..."

the last thing i see is Erika worried face while her hand is stretched at me and a boy that also the cause that i in this predicament. after that i feel something really hard on my back as my consciousness fade away.
