"Hey Reika, how did you able to make friends in instant there." Sairu curiously asked.
"It's because i'm charismatic."
"....." The twins remained silent.
For some reasons, they are pissed but it seems it isn't directed at me.
"Do you like men?"
"I know what you are thinking but i have interacted a lot of woman more than the two of you."
"You are boasting now, can you prove i-"
I showed a picture of me and the girls in the restaurant, the one who take the photo is Rariso and i'm in a middle.
"Pfft." Ikaru smiled wryly to his twin.
"Fine fine, but, seriously, how? It's not easy for privileged to make friends with scholars, that's the same for the opposite as well."
"It's because he's indebted to me, now, he's going to be my friend."
"Oh... Looks like your plan will succeed."
"I hope so, would you like to be friends with them?"
"Really? Aha, that's easy, but he will definitely be targeted, this is the first time a scholar easily got friends with someone from Class A."
But their pissed face came back and looking at our classmate, after all, we are the backbenchers.
They are glaring to the bright boy who smiled innocently but the girls around him seems familiar to him, they don't look like lovers or friends, just like neighbors greeting each other, that's the relationship i can see at him.
"Why the two of you pissed." As my usual calm voice.
"Why? That Taiko is a harem protagonist!"
???
What?
"Elaborate?"
"He got so many girls inlove with him in all levels, privilege or scholars and he is intimate with them! He has a best friend too from the scholars which is also getting girls."
"I think, you two are just jealous."
"Ha?! No! Experience it yourself!"
They sync and their voice become loud and others heard it as well, Taiko too.
They look up on us and the two of them emitting killing intent on him.
Harem protagonist... Doesn't sound bad for me.
When i was a teen, i only have a dream to have Harem, but ahemmm.....
Several girls approach us, not for the twins but for me.
"Hey Sairu, Ikaru, what are you shouting out ha?"
"None of your business Clara."
"Tsk, anyway, how are you today Reika? I'm sorry if we didn't greet you earlier, it's because we are shy."
They are acting of course.
four girls approached me, it seems that the other three aren't really associated with them, The gyaru Anria, the girl who's forced and looking down to everyone while hiding in such a cool face Kiara, cheerful Clara who's acting she's adult in a immature way and a polite girl Mira.
"Ie, ie, no problem, you might know my name but let me reintroduce, i am Reika Heisir."
"He's so polite, he's going to be a good husband." Clara laugh.
"Mira Rossia, nice to meet you." She bowed down.
Meanwhile, Anria slapped Mira butt.
"Kyaa! Anria!" She's embarrassed.
"No need to bow down to him."
The class become lively with their conversations.
"Ah, Reika-kun, how about we play a game."
"What game."
"Truth or dare."
I knew it, i know where this is going.
"Agree to him Reika!" In the left Sairu is encouraging me.
Why though?
"Let's play please!" Clara on right.
"Fine, why not, i want to learn about my classmates."
"Can i join too?"
The innocent boy ask, his face is full of curiosity and wanting to make friends, but the people in my left.
"Haaaa? Did you say something?" Sairu face distorted.
"Why not?" I said.
"Reika?" Sairu asked me.
"If you don't, you won't have a girl tomorrow."
"Fine."
In instant, the game started.
Our table is wide enough for a plastic bottle not to fall.
In my left, is Sairu and Ikaru, in my right is Clara, in the left front is Taiko, the middle one is Kiara, in front of me is Anria, the right one is Mira.
This Anria is definitely tempting me with that smug, but i only respond with a smile and looking to her eye without being magnet on her cleavage, the twins can't resist looking to it though, even the so called Harem protagonist is blushing.
First spin and the bottle instantly pointed at me.
The spin is rig at the very beginning.
"Hehe, truth or dare?" Clara is mischievously smiling
"Truth."
"Is Reika-kun a virgin?"
"Yes."
"..."
For some reasons, it seems that their face are dissatisfied.
What? Didn't saw someone who's embarrassed to say if they are virgin? Can't make fun of me who's openly admitting it without changes in face?
I looked at the three boys in my left and for fucks sake, they are embarrassed. On the question.
"Ahhh...., ah... Ahahaha, you're a virgin? Ahahaha, so, you've never done it? Poor you!"
Yeah, she's definitely coping, with her cope mechanism work, the other girls also laugh, and Anria is starting to initiate a move on me.
"Ha, and so i thought there would be finally a graduated boy here."
"You know what Anria, shut up, aren't you all virgin." Sairu respond.
"We have boyfriends."
"But that doesn't mean you did it!"
"What? You want a video? How degenerate."
He was fallen to a trick, now he's being laugh at, meanwhile he's getting more angrier at her.
"Please, don't tease my friends too much."
"Ha? Is a virgin talking to me?"
Only three of them are enjoying it while the rest are embarrassed except the cold Kiara.
"Yes i am, please stop that, you are bothering others."
They looked at me with conflict eyes.
'Does this guy even have something fun in his life? Why isn't he getting embarrassed?'
That might be the words they are thinking but who cares.
"I already answered so i should spin the bottle."
I spin the bottle and it pointed to no one.
I spin it again and it pointed to Kiara.
"Truth or dare?" I smiled calmly.
"Truth."
"Can you please elaborate the meaning of happiness."
She is conflicted.
Are you going to keep the act of being matured person? Do you fear happiness if someone can see it? Or you are hypocrite about it?
"Something that can make you enjoy your life."
"I see, thank you."
She wants to say more but i stopped it by giving her the bottle.
This kind of action reminds me of myself.
She spin the bottle and it pointed on Sairu.
"Dare for me!"
"I dare you to leave."
"What?"
"It is what it is Sairu." Said by his twin
"I agree, you gotta go man." As i second
"What the? But i didn't even-"
I show him my sister new post on social media since he can't follow her since he doesn't have a phone and because of their parents restriction and money.
"We are getting hungry, why don't you buy some food?"
"Tsk, cannot deny."
He ran away instantly.
"You instantly know what he wants huh." Ikaru spoke to me.
"He's just as innocent as you."
The only one who saw who's in the picture is Taiko, and the twins, and so they became curious but choose not to ask.
Kiara spin the bottle again
It pointed at me.
"Truth."
"Why is your smile so fake."
"It's because you don't know me yet, would you like to be my friend?"
"I don't want to, you even lie to them."
"I am not suppose to answer that since i already tell the truth."
"Ah!"
She click her tongue and pass the bottle.
I spin the bottle and it pointed to the cute Mira
"Dare."
Looks like they planned it beforehand.
"Can Miru sit beside Ikaru?"
"What?" Both of them asked.
"Hey, you!"
"What? Are you flustered you're near to a girl?"
"I mean, isn't that bit too much dare?"
Oh how pure... Over thinking is really bad.
"You are just going to sit each other, not going to be married, what's with you?"
"Ah." He's embarrassed but regain his cool immediately.
But Mira already sat beside him and now, he's frozen trying not to have an skin contact with her.
I spin the bottle once again.
Now, it pointed on Clara.
"Truth."
"Is Clara indeed a virgin?"
"Ha? You're jealous?"
"The answer would be yes or no."
"Of course yes, i am."
"I see, thank you."
....
'This guy... he's handsome but why do i feel like he's not charismatic, he doesn't even bother talking someone talking about something vulgar, what's with this guy, he isn't even embarrassed, he is still the same as yesterday.'
Clara is looking on him who appears so calm and have a welcoming smile but it seems that he really isn't bothered about it, rather, he's just like a spectator despite being in the game.
....
Clara spin the bottle and pointed to Taiko
"Dare."
"Clean the blackboard later."
"Aha? You're escaping your task?"
"I hate chalk powders."
"Fine."
Their conversation is more decent than others, it's seems that he really is respected here.
He spin the bottle and it's me again.
"Truth."
"Did Reika got a girlfriend before?"
"No."
"Ahh, so who's the girl... In the photo..."
"What? You want to know? spin the bottle again."
"Ah... Nevermind." He's blushing.
Did he fall to Shira...
I spin rhe bottle intentionally at Ikaru
"Dare."
"Please move sideward, i'm about to fall on my chair."
"Is that your dare?"
"Yes."
He moved, and when he felt the uniform of Mira he is shaking now.
"You..."
I only smiled.
He spin the bottle and pointed Anria
"Please drag Miru to your position."
Ohoh, so he think he outsmarted me and laugh, but when he saw my face, he doubt.
Anria intentionally spin it towards me
"Truth."
"Why did your father broke up with his family."
"I do not know."
"So, you don't know, now, only you can dare."
"What's the dare."
I knew what she's up to, even Neru didn't even know the reason why Rariso leave his family, there are also the spy existence, if i say something, it might become a gossip and become a false information that possibly threaten them.
"Since you are a virgin with zero experience in love, go out with me for a week."
"Okay."
"Huh?"
"When we will start?"
"Uh... What's with your face, shouldn't you be feeling excited or something?"
"I am happy."
"I can see that! Change your facial expressions or something!"
"You cannot dare that."
"You!!"
And then, from this building, we can hear the announcement, speaker from below.
"Reika Heisir, Karui Isui is requesting you to come, i repeat Karui Isui is requesting you to come, Reika Heisir."
"Ha, just in time, then, i will go now."
"Wait Reika, did you duel with him?" Ikaru asked.
"Duel?"
"Oh so you didn't, i thought you have."
"What is that."
"Duel is a exclusive event for us, you can only duel once per month and the person you've duel cannot be asked by others for another month, it's a fair duel, if strength, then strength, if test, then test, if the person whose been challenge lose, the challenger will get the position of the person he battle with but if he lose, then his section will fall by one, so if he wins, he will be able to climb up in Class A, that's the example."
"I see, then don't worry."
"Really?"
"Yes, i am only going, to see someone's redemption, that's all."
I left the classroom.
*****************
"Did he planned all of this." Kiara pondered.
"....Perhaps... The timing is too perfect." Clara responded.
"How about you Ikaru, do you know something about him?"
"....No."
"He seems to be the most interesting guy who i will date, wish me luck Clara."
"Haha, no need, you can do it."
"Then, later."
Everyone leaves the table and continue to move out of the class.
It's lunchtime.
