Today was a normal school day like any other. The weekend was upon us and I didn't have any plans.
I heard from Ichinose and a few other students that we will have a special break on a cruise. I didn't really think about it too much. Why would I?
It's pretty obvious it isn't going to be a normal break. There is no reason for the school to give us a free trip on a cruise. But, I already know other people will think indifferent.
I decided to go somewhere around the campus other than my dorm, to appease my boredom.
Perhaps I should go with someone.....yeah, I'll invite two people that I wanted to introduce to each other. Airi and Hiyori.
I started by calling Hiyori.
Light: "Hello, Hiyori are you going to do something today?"
Hiyori: "No, do you wanna go to the library with me Light-kun?"
Light: "I was actually thinking about just walking around and I decided to see if you wanted to join me."
Hiyori: "Oh, really..? Well if it's you then I'll gladly join you."
Light: "Great, I'll also introduce you to someone."
Hiyori: "Really? Perhaps we can be friends."
Light: "I think you will easily become friends, can you meet me in front of the water fountain?"
Hiyori: "Sure! I look forward to meeting this new person!"
With that our call ended. Now for me to call Airi.
Light: "Hey, Airi, I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out with me."
Airi: "Oh, Light-kun, I'd be happy to."
Light: "Also, I know that you aren't great with socializing with people, but I'd like to introduce you to someone. Is that alright with you?"
Airi: "Yes, I trust you Light-kun, though I'm still really nervous.."
Light: "Don't be, the person you'll meet is extremely nice. I'll be waiting in front of the water fountain."
Airi: "Alright, I'll see you there Light-kun."
They both accepted, this may turn out interesting. They're both seamlessly lonely, so it would be good for them to be friends.
I made my way out of my dorm and into the lobby. From there I went outside and passed the vending machine where I fought Manabu and crossed the street.
I was the first one to arrive, which was better because it may have been weird if Hiyori and Airi would've been just there, not knowing if I was referring to another person.
Three minutes after my initial arrival, Hiyori arrived.
Hiyori: "Hey, Light-kun! It's nice to see you."
Light: "Likewise, it's always good to see you Hiyori."
Hiyori blushed with my statement which I found adorable. I decided to play a little with her.
Light: "Oh, are you sick Hiyori? Your face is red, here let me take a look."
I proceeded to place my hand on her forehead and I was met with her blushing even more. The flustered Hiyori stuttered with her response.
Hiyori: "N-no, I'm n-not s-sick."
Light: "Thank goodness, I was a bit worried."
Even though Hiyori was flustered, I could see she was smiling with my response.
Hiyori: "Th-thank you, for caring about me...."
Light: "I care about you a lot, don't forget that."
Hiyori: "I-"
Hiyori stopped her sentence when she looked up and spotted, who I assumed to be Airi.
Airi: "O-oh hello Light-kun, I hope I'm not too late."
Light: "No, you're just in time. Oh, here I'll introduce you guys."
I took a step back and both girls finally had a good view of each other.
Light: "Airi, this is Shiina Hiyori from Class C, Hiyori this is Sakura Airi from Class D."
As expected, Airi was still extremely shy and stuttered with her sentence.
Airi: "U-um, It's n-nice to me-meet you."
Hiyori: "It's nice to meet you to Sakura-san."
I was happy, both girls may be able to befriend each other. If that was the case, they could possibly learn to speak to more people. However, I won't rush it. Everyone has their own pace in which they try new things.
Light: "Well now that we've got you two acquainted, let's walk around the campus. Perhaps we may find something interesting to do along the way."
Both girls nodded. We started walking around campus.
Hiyori: "Sakura-san, I was wondering, do you like to read?"
Airi: "Uh, sometimes...I do like to read a few romance books"
That was a bit surprising, but I do like that Airi can be open with what she does.
Hiyori: "I see, have you ever read 'Twice in a Blue Moon'?"
Airi: "No, but I've heard of it."
Hiyori: "I strongly recommend it, the book was one of the best ones I've ever read."
Airi: "I might need to check out in the library after today..."
Hiyori: "No need, I bought the book myself. If you want it, I can lend it to you. I have an entire library in my bag. I kind of got carried away buying book....but they all looked so good."
Airi and I laughed at Hiyori's statement.
Light: "I don't understand how you're able to carry all those books."
Hiyori: "It's fine with me, especially since I don't know if you would like to read one....."
Light: "Thanks for looking out for me."
Hiyori: "Not a problem at all."
Airi was getting somewhat left out, so I decided to get her back into the conversation.
Light: "Hey Airi, have you been taking pictures recently?"
Airi: "Oh, uh I have taken a few."
Light: "Any good ones? The school itself might be a good target for a picture."
Airi: "I have taken one of the beautiful trees here and of a few birds...oh, I've taken one of a blue Jay! Perhaps you would like to see it...."
Light: "I'll be happy to, actually I wanted to take a picture of the three of us. Do you guys like the idea?"
Hiyori: "Yea!"
Airi: "I like it."
Airi got on my left as Hiyori got on my right.
Light: "Say cheese!"
Airi, Hiyori & Light: "Cheese!"
Light: "Well that was a good photo, actually now that I think about it, would you guys like to go to a karaoke booth?"
Hiyori: "Sure"
Airi: "I'm not really that good of a singer...."
Hiyori: "C'mon Sakura-san, it'll be a lot of fun!"
Hiyori grabbed Airi's hand and caught up with me.
Light: "It's nothing to worry about, I'm not a good singer. I just thought it would be a lot of fun."
Airi: "Ok, I'll try my best for you guys!"
Hiyori: "That's the spirit!"
We made our way into the building and I bought a room for us.
(Timeskip)
Light: "You did amazing Airi, I'm really proud of you!"
Hiyori: "Yea, you were wonderful Sakura-san, I didn't know you had such an amazing voice. Perhaps you could be a singer!"
Airi: "Thank you, Light-kun, Shiina-san. That was a lot of fun, but I don't think I could've done it without your support."
Hiyori: "Ah, c'mon Sakura-san, that was all you!"
Airi: "Thank you guys, really...."
Airi and Hiyori's stomachs growled simultaneously, which made them both blush. I enjoyed the sight of their cute faces.
Light: "Seems like all that singing made you guys hungry, let's get something to eat."
We made our way over to a restaurant and ordered our food.
Light: "Have you ever been to this restaurant before?"
Airi: "No, I was too shy to come here by myself...."
Hiyori: "No, I didn't have anyone to come with."
Light: "Well this is my first time here as well. I'm glad they have food I'm familiar with. I've seen the food in other restaurants, and I have no idea what it is."
Hiyori: "When we go to the cafeteria, I don't know what some of the food is. Actually, I thought you would've come to this restaurant before, you are really popular."
Light: "Really? I didn't think I was that popular."
Hiyori: "Well, I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but the girls made groups in which they vote males for different categories."
Light: "That's the case for the guys as well, of course, it's the females they vote for."
Hiyori pulled out her phone and showed me a poll which said 'Top 5 ikemen'.
Hiyori: "As you can see, you're number one in the top 5 ikemen of the first-year males."
Airi: "Wow, Light-kun, is really popular. You probably already have a girlfriend..."
Light: "No actually, I didn't even know I was popular not to mention I never had a girlfriend."
Not a real one anyways...
Airi: "Really?! Mhm, sorry I was just surprised is all.."
Hiyori smirked a bit.
Hiyori: "Ah, Sakura-san, you're making it really obvious."
Airi: "Wha-what, do y-you me-mean Shiina-san?"
Hiyori: "Nevermind, anyway looks like our foods here."
I saw the server with our food and we started eating immediately afterward.
(Timeskip)
After we finished eating we decided to get ice cream for dessert and set on a bench.
As I was eating my ice cream, I saw how Airi was extremely red and it seemed as if she wanted to say something.
Light: "Hey, Airi, are you alright?"
Airi: "Y-ye-"
Airi stopped herself from saying yes and gulped. She took a deep breath and looked into my eyes.
Airi: "Actually Light-kun, I was wondering if you wanted to taste my ice cream.."
Huh, I didn't expect Airi to be so bold. I'm really proud of how she was able to push herself out of her comfort zone today.
Light: "I'll be happy to."
Airi seemed shocked as if she was expecting a rejection.
I took a small bite out of Airi's icecream.
Light: "That's really good, thanks Airi."
Airi was still in a shocked state as if her mind hadn't comprehended what had just happened. However, with everything great that happens, something bad is soon to follow.
I noticed the look that Hiyori was giving me. It immediately sent chills down my spine.
Hiyori: "Light-kun, wouldn't you like to try my ice cream as well?"
Hiyori was smiling as she said this, however, I could easily tell something was off about her tone. It reminded me of the look Misa gave me when I told her I would be dating other girls.
Light: "Sure"
I casually took a bite out of Hiyori's icecream. Her gaze still made me nervous on the inside.
What did I do wrong? Why do women have to be so complex? Even Misa and Takada we're extremely hard to understand. As of today, I learned that women are really complex beings.
(Timeskip)
We walked to the dorms and finally arrived at our destination.
Light: "Today was really fun, I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you for accompanying me."
Hiyori: "No, don't thank me, today was a lot of fun. I enjoyed spending time with both of you."
Airi: "I was really happy with you guys. I'm thankful that you invited me Light-kun."
We said our final goodbyes and I went to my dorm.
Today was fun, Airi and Hiyori remind me that not everyone is rotten and some people are genuine.
(Timeskip)
As I woke up, I decided to lay in bed for a few minutes, today was Saturday after all. There is no need to rush. Not like I had any plans today anyway.
I contemplated what to do today and I decided to stop being lazy and take a shower.
After I took a shower, I made myself some breakfast and quickly finished eating.
Boredom is what followed soon afterward. I decided to go back to the vending machine near the area where I fought Manabu.
Perhaps something interesting will happ-
???: "Yahooo~"
That was all I heard until I felt someone grab me from behind. I turned my head and was met with Hoshinomiya.
Light: "Good morning Sensei."
Hoshinomiya: "Good morning, Yagami-kun. Say, are you going to do anything today?"
Light: "No, in fact, I'm completely bored right now."
Hoshinomiya: "Oh, perhaps you would like to join me today?"
Light: "Ill be happy to."
Hoshinomiya: "Great! Let's go."
Hoshinomiya held on to my arm as she leads me to an unknown location.
(Timeskip)
We entered the mall. Some students gave me a weird look seeing Hoshinomiya holding onto my arm.
Hoshinomiya: "Oh, now that I think about it, people may start getting the wrong idea about us. Not that I mind~."
Light: "It seems that way."
We made our way over to a women's clothing store which immediately gave me red flags.
Light; "Wait, I'm not sure about this..."
Hoshinomiya: "Oh c'mon, you already agreed...pretty please?"
Hoshinomiya looked at me with pleading eyes.
Light: "Alright, please stop frowning Sensei."
Hoshinomiya: "Yay!"
Gosh, she acts like a little girl. Honestly, I might just prefer Hoshinomiya over Chabashira.
We made our way into the clothing shop, but I started having second thoughts once again when Hoshinomiya started asking which lingerie I preferred.
Hoshinomiya eventually went to the changing room, thank god she decided to try out something other than underwear.
I also saw how a few girls noticed me and started whispering to one another, saying things like "Do you think he has a girlfriend?" and "He's really hot."
I'm really regretting this decision right now...
Kikyou: "Oh, Light-kun what are you doing here...?"
I looked over to see Kikyou and not just her, but a few other girls with her.
Light: "Hey guys, as to the reason I'm here...well you see-"
Hoshinomiya: "Yahoo, Yagami-kun, how do you think I look~"
Light: "I'm accompanying Hoshinomiya-sensei, as you can see, this might have been a mistake."
Kikyou and her friends laughed at my situation.
Hoshinomiya: "Mmph, Yagami-kun you meanie."
Hoshinomiya proceeded to pout which was quite the sight.
After talking a bit more with my classmates, Hoshinomiya and I proceeded to go out of the mall with me holding 3 bags full of clothes. How can women buy so much clothing..?
Hoshinomiya: "Thank you for accompanying me Yagami-kun. Perhaps we could do this again sometime."
Light: "It was nothing at all, I enjoyed our time together."
Hoshinomiya: "Actually, Yagami-kun, I wanted to talk to you about something."
Light: "Go ahead, I'm listening."
Hoshinomiya: "I wanted to talk to you about Sae-chan. Has she already told you her story?"
Light: "No she hasn't told me anything."
Hoshinomiya: "Well I'll let her tell you that another day, but I will tell you Sae-chan is really focused on having her class reach Class A. She's a great friend and I want her to be happy, but of course, I also want my class to reach Class A."
Light: "That makes sense, you care about her, but you yourself want to also reach something, besides your class reaching Class A means better pay for you as a teacher and maybe better benefits."
Hoshinomiya: "You understand quite well Yagami-kun, I have a goal for myself and the students I teach...say, you know about that cruise we will go on?"
Light: "Yea, I've heard about it from multiple people. I'm guessing it's not just for us to have a fun time."
Hoshinomiya: "You're really smart Yagami-kun."
Hoshinomiya stayed quiet for a while until she broke the silence.
Hoshinomiya: "Let's just say this, I drank quite a lot today and I asked my favorite student to kindly escort me to my room. However, in my drunken haze, I accidentally let slip out a few details about a special upcoming exam that the students will partake in."
I knew exactly what she was doing, but why..?
Hoshinomiya: "Oo, I'm too drunk right now. Oh Yagami-kun, did you know that there will be a few locations in which you can farm class points, and did you also know that each class will have a leader and guessing the correct leader from another class gets you 50 class points? Oh no, what did I just say?"
Hoshinomiya faked a shocked expression.
Light: "Thank you Sensei."
Hoshinomiya: "No problem at all, just please don't share this with anyone or I might get a lecture from our boss and you might not be able to see your favorite Sensei again."
Light: "I wouldn't want that at all. You are my favorite Sensei after all."
Thus another day ended and the first special exam was about to begin.
