"And then you see, The guy is like, I keep moving forward. Suddenly Breiner goes like 'eh?' And then suddenly his eyes kinda gain their vibrant colour and he goes 'until my enemies are destroyed' And then BOOM he fucking transforms right under the stage where tygur is giving the speech! Actually... are you even listening?"
"Yeah yeah I am..." My mind was at full capacity trying to process what happened yesterday.
"EARTH TO DYLAN! HELLO?!"
"Man, stfu! I'm losing my mind here!" I yelled back.
"oooooh? Love problems?"
"That's the most cringe and misleading way to put it, but somewhat yeah. I guess? Maybe? Maybe love isn't the right word..."
"Hey bitch, I was joking, but good job confessing your sins." He suddenly grabbed my neck! "You were supposed to defeat the normies not join them!"
"HUH?! You were the one pushing me to make a move?! What's the problem if i did make a move?!"
"SO YOU DID DO SOMETHING!!!"
"I said if! I never said I did! I was tryna expose your double standards that's all!"
"Whew! I thought you were depressed cuz you weren't good in bed or something."
"How old do you think you are, you horny bastard?'
"idk, a statistic said 40% people have their first times around this age."
"Wakanda fucked up statistic is that?"
"I made it up. I had reliable sources as well."
"You watch wayyyyy too much anime."
"That's where you're wrong, my G. My reference material was 100% unfiltered, unadulterated and uncensored Hen-"
"BRAKES!" I decided to cut him off.
"Back to topic, How far have you gone with Sara?"
"Till her home? I mean we are neighbours right? I told you last day.
He looked at me, surprised.
"Dylan how can you be so well versed and clueless at the same time? I'm asking you if you've held hands or kissed or anything!"
How could he draw that conclusion? And why Sara? There were other girls!"
"Is it because we were walking home under the same umbrella?"
"Well isn't it obvious at that point?" Goddamnit! "Answer me tho! Did you guys kiss?"
That reminded me of yesterday. I could feel the blood rushing to my face.
"That's a uhhhhh... not..." I ran out of time to hide it.
"I see. No instant reply. I didn't want things to end this way between us." Oh shit.
"Why do you have tears in your eyes? Also, why are you taking out your geometry box? Maths isn't until after the lunch break." He looked mentally unstable!
"You betrayed us!"
"Hey Hey Hey Woah buddy put down the compass! You're gonna hurt someone!"
"Lament for your sins, traitor!"
"Besides, Even if, things went well between us, You would be happy, right? We're friends right?" This always worked in dramas. And since this guy is a weeb, he would resonate with it!
That's right, The Power of NAKAMA!"
"Yes I would be very happy..." He smiled heartily for a moment.
"TO END YOU, THAT IS!!!"
He had a divider as well now!
"Stop acting like animals in the homeroom, please." It was the prefect, Ariel."
"Yes ma'am, Class Prefect ma'am!" why was Alex suddenly emitting puppy particles?
"Cmon Alex, I told you not to call me that way!" This girl too, was way too frisky and expressive with him. What in the hell was going on?
"Haha! I was just teasing you, that's all..." Yup he liked her, I could tell from the way he changed.
"I just prefer my name over that Prefect BS! Is that too much to ask for?"
"ok Ariel" I responded
"Please stay out of this, you're being a disturbance." Her tone went real cold all of a sudden, but went back to the usual fluttery type with him.
What was this flowery atmosphere building around them? And why was this guy being all over this girl after lecturing me? It was so obvious that they were flirting, with the quick glances and body language.
"If you're free after school, is the usual place fine?" she said, turning shy.
THAT WAS A RED ALERT!
Wat? Usual Place? What was that supposed to mean? Whatever it was, it was big.
Now, if Alex was a true comrade, he would tell her about cram school and reject her offer.
What will it be Alex?
Will you give up your crown, Or be a King among comrades?
"OF COURSE! I'M TOTALLY FREE!"
Snap.
I pulled out my geometry box and unsheathed my divider.
"Okay! Also don't create a ruckus! I don't wanna see you getting scolded by Mr.Soandso!" She finally left.
"Sharp things are really beautiful huh. I thought you had cram school. Funny how the tables have turned."
"I wish things were like that, but she's my first cousin..."
"Oh! That's a shame isn't it!" I felt pity for him, knowing the fact that the only girl interested in talking to him was his cousin.
My fingers let go off the weapon in my hand and instead patted his shoulder. Don't worry! Your spring will come!
"I know right? She's such a beauty and i forget the line that exists between us..."
"Excuse me what?" I cut him off
"Like I said, I forget the line exists between us. Don't you ever have that feeling? You know, with a teacher?"
"No, I fucking don't! Bro isn't that supposed to be incest?
"If age is just a number, Cousin is just a word. I'm just kidding lol!"
"Sometimes I wonder whether your dick does the thinking for you"
"Our hearts exist in our dicks, man"
"Alright I'm gonna stop this convo right here, that is not an argument worth my time."
"You ever watched Yosuga no Sora?"
"One more word and I'll fucking kill you."
I glanced at my watch. The bell was gonna ring any moment now.
Suddenly, the door swung open and there she was, panting for air.
OK! Keep calm! If I responded normally, then there would be no problems at all. Normally she would say something first. To be honest, I didn't want this awkward ass mood to spoil the atmosphere between us. Just chill.
But nothing happened. She came over and sat down as if I wasn't there, but suddenly glanced over to sneak a peek.
"Why were you--" My words were cut short by the bell. Damnit. I missed my window of opportunity."
Maybe I could ask Christine for advice.
Oh wait.
So that was a no-no aswell.
...
AAAAAAAAAH!!! WHAT KINDA STUPID ASS TIMING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN!!!
But I was determined on breaking the ice. But what was I gonna do!
