Looking up, the president smiled at me.
"Hello Ariel, of course you can"
With joy in my heart I sat down.
I started to eat but suddenly felt the intense gaze of the president.
"Wh-what's up"
Did I do something wrong?
"You were crying"
Damn, is it still noticeable?
"W-Well... hehe"
The intense gaze of the president silently pressed me.
"Yeah…"
"What happened?"
After hesitating a bit, I began to narrate what happened.
"So it was Gabriel! He already has many reports, do you want me to call his parents?"
"N-No, not yet, as long as she doesn't repeat it, it's fine"
"Okay, if he happens again tell me and I'll make him regret it"
Speaking of which…
"It's not about Gabriel but... I have to answer four confessions today..."
I don't know if it sounds presumptuous so feel free to say it.
"Hahahahaha"
For some reason the president began to laugh.
"Did I say something funny…?"
Confused I asked.
"No no, it's just... you're so beautiful it was obvious it would happen, but I didn't think so soon."
"Pretty…"
For some reason hearing that made me happy.
"Well, do you need me to chase them away?"
"Yes... I say no, just tell me how I can reject them"
"Well, I wouldn't know what to tell you, as I have never been declared"
she said nonchalantly.
"But you are so beautiful…"
"Haha, not as much as you"
She said with self-deprecation.
But I say it, she meant it...
I knew it was rude to continue so I didn't continue.
"If you want I can go with you, so no matter what you say, they won't try anything when they see me there"
"Thank you so much"
"You're welcome, just come to the presidential office to look for me"
For the next few minutes we continued talking until I remembered something.
"I'm sorry... but I haven't asked your name yet"
Whether it was when I was a kid or now, I never heard the name of the president.
"I'm sorry, you told me yours but I didn't tell you mine, it's Noa"
"A pleasure Noah"
"The pleasure is mine"
After a while the bell rang so we said goodbye and went back to our classrooms.
When I got to my living room, I stood outside for a moment, took a deep breath and opened the door.
When dozens of eyes fell on me, including Gabriel's.
He looks like he gave up on me because he looked away after a few seconds.
With a sigh I reached my seat and sat down.
The rest of the class passed slowly and quietly.
As the professor spoke I began to think about how the president would help me with the statements.
It may not seem like much because she will only be close, but it is a great help for someone like me, I will feel more secure like this.
Before she knew it, the bell rang.
"...and with that we finish the class, remember to finish these exercises for tomorrow"
Getting my things ready I was about to leave when I remembered something.
I approached the class president and handed her a piece of paper.
"This is my number"
"Ah, I was about to ask you, I thought you forgot hahaha"
"He he"
After a little talk, I left the classroom and was about to go to the president.
"Hey Ariel, do you have a moment?"
I felt that they called me so I turned around.
She was the leader of the popular Carol.
"Y-Yes of course, tell me"
Think about what the teacher said...
Yeah! Just because she looks like it doesn't mean she's a snake, maybe she's a nice person.
"About what Gabriel told you... did you accept?"
Ha… it's about that.
I felt disappointed in some way.
"I refused"
Carol sighed and shot me a smile.
"That's good… I mean, I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable"
"Well yes, a little, but it was nothing serious"
"I understand... well I have to go, see you"
Turning around she began to jog.
Could it be that she likes Gabriel? It seems to be the case.
Putting the matter in the back of my mind, I started walking towards the presidential hall.
As always, the boys looked at me every time I passed near them.
At this point I was getting used to it.
After walking around I got to the living room and knocked on the door.
"Forward"
I slowly opened the door.
"Now we are a little busy, be brief with what you need"
Inside there was only a girl with black pigtails, she was submerged reading some documents.
"And good?"
"I come to see the president…"
"The president is currently not here, she can come back tomorrow"
"B-But she needed it"
Looking up from the documents, the girl with pigtails questioned me with her look.
"That she is she so urgent?"
"Well…"
Should she tell him? But I don't know her...
"C-Can I stay and wait for her?"
Ignoring her question, I asked back.
"As you wish, just don't make noise"
She said, pointing to a sofa.
With a small nod I walked over to the couch and sat down.
The girl for her part read the documents again.
The seconds passed and I felt somewhat uncomfortable being alone with the girl.
Although I think she doesn't care about my existence.
He was thinking about whether or not she should talk to him when the door opened.
"President, they are looking for you"
Without looking at him the girl said.
President Noa turned to me and smiled.
"Hello Ariel, let's go"
When she was about to pick me up, I noticed that the girl with pigtails raised her head and spoke.
"President we have work to do"
"I know, I'll finish it when I get back"
"tch"
Clucking the girl with pigtails under her head and she continued reading.
"Come on"
Following President Noa I left the room.
"Where did they quote you"
"Ehm, the first person called me behind the school at this time."
"So, let's go"
At a brisk pace we headed towards the planned location.
Upon arrival there was a boy with long hair leaning against the wall.
Seeing me he smiled and walked towards me.
"Hello... erm... what's your name?"
Ha…he doesn't even know my name and he wants us to go out.
"Ariel"
"Yes, Ariel, would you like to go out with me?"
Without speaking in advance or anything, he asked me directly.
"I'm sorry but I'm not ready for a relationship"
I said dryly.
"Can't you give me a chance?"
"You heard it, he said no"
At that moment the president intervened and faced him.
"Look who we have here, the president"
With a smile that wasn't a smile she turned to the president.
"This is between Ariel and me, stay out"
The boy said harshly.
"Since Ariel refused, it's no longer a matter between you, besides, I was invited by Ariel so I have the right to intervene"
"get out"
"No"
"Do it or…"
"Do you want to know what I am capable of?"
The president threatened him with a smile.
"Bah"
Giving up the boy left.
"T-Thank you"
I've been holding my breath ever since her conflict started, I didn't know the president could be so harsh.
"No problem, let's go to the next location"
"Alright"
Just like the first time the president was next to me for the next three statements, luckily the other guys weren't as brave as the first one.
When we finished with everyone I went to the president and thanked her once again.
"It doesn't matter"
She said simply.
While he was looking at her gratefully, I saw through a window and noticed that it was already getting dark.
"It's late, I'll go now"
"Okay, I'll go to the presidential office to finish the documentation"
"See you"
"Bye bye"
