Chapter 5 - Where are all these PEOPLE COMING FROM!

In no time, it was already lunchtime so I decided to head to the cafeteria so that I could buy some food and goof off with my friends. You see, I had absolutely forgotten my deliciously handmade home-cooked food.

And how did I even forget it in the first place?

Do you know how frustrating it feels being so hungry that you can't even focus on your lessons and find out that your lunchbox is missing. For a moment I thought my eyes where dead there for a sec.

They were just craving for that deliciousness.

Aww this sucks, I'm trying to save my money for this awesome new game coming out next month and then fate acts like a-

Sorry.

That's a lie, I just need it for my por- eh- magazine. Of course, yes, educational magazines. Hehehe.

Whilst heading to the cafeteria, I spotted a group of three gentleman walking together in the corridor. Just my luck. Unfortunately for my taste, this group tends to attract too much attention since they are considered hot.

Well, they are hot.

They are considered to be so hot in our second year, they practically melt the cold away. Even the sun feels cold in their presence.

I wonder who even made that metaphor?

Don't even get me started about the upperclassmen or the underclassmen. If we were to talk about all the guys in the school, I'll commit suicide without a second thought.

But my eyes weren't drawn to the three but the fourth one who is a girl who I'll mention later.

Anyways, at all cost, I must avoid them since they all make me disgustingly sick. I hate pretty boys and handsome guys. Every time I look at them I feel like I wanna throw up. You remember two of the guys in my class who I said I didn't wanna meet. They are just right there. Argh, I'm going to faint, gotta get away.

Unfortunately, in the middle of my 'getting away', I bumped into them and they saw me. Perfect huh!

"Hey Sakurai." One of them greeted me.

'Don't talk to me as if we're old friends. And its Takemoto for you, not Sakurai.'

I pretended as if I didn't notice as I feigned ignorance, but then…

" Look, he's pretending as if he didn't notice." One female voice which came out of nowhere said that.

"I wish I was the one greeted instead."

"What's his problem anyway?"

"I know right. He's probably just jealous since they are just that different." Another one replied to that.

'Damnit! Who said that?'

And more of them just kept coming.

"What I wouldn't kill to get an acquintance."

"That's him, who was it again? Never mind. Just his sight is enough to ruin my day. Lets go." Another one chimed in.

'Now that's just-'

"You never change the way you praise do you, Akari?"

'Now that's just taking verbal abuse way too far!!! And Akari, is it? How did you even forget my name. If looks could kill, I would kill you right now.'

" You really think so?" Akari said.

The moment I laid my eyes on that girl who was accompanying Akari I dropped an intense death glare at her and she shrieked for a bit but I guess nobody except me heard her.

'Serves you right, he-he. Huh! Now you're taking abuse too far. I cant stand this.'

"...!" She just slightly nodded at Akari.

"Now, now , Takemoto, don't be too rough with the ladies." The unnominated leader of the so called douche 'hot squad' finally said whilst making a handsome smirk.

'Hey! Ladies! Look at that hot guy you love so much! He's making an evil grin! And its directed towards me!'

"""Kyaaaaaa!!!"""

Fuck everyone!

"Hey Tamaki!" I forced a smile but I bet it was twitching right now.

"How's it going?" Tamaki replied.

"I was just about to have lunch. Care to join me?" At that, I swear I saw him frown.

'Now! Ladies , look at that, they are pure evil I tell you.'

"Ehh, no. I just ate mine."

'But we're clearly heading in the same direction.'

And it's the start of lunch break too.

"Now if you would excuse me." Finally, I found an opportunity to escape. But then…

"Where are you running off to, lunchtime has only just begun!!" Saki said.

'Thanks a lot for the help!'

I can clearly tell she loves taunting me that much. The only reason why I was talking to you idiots was so that I can stop several abuses which were being hurled at me and to ease the pressure in the atmosphere.

'Gotta do this the old fashioned way.'

"Look I'm really hungry so talk to you later bye!" I said as I increased my pace towards the cafeteria. At the same time, I knew my already-dead reputation would only plummet further despite it already plummeted to the furthest.

I'm a good kid, I tell you that. I've never been in fights before, I don't think I've ever wronged anyone before in my entire life. I also focus on my studies although I don't get good grades like Senki. I also try my best in sports too despite having no talent like the gorilla.

See. I'm absolutely a good boy. And checking out the ladies is also good for your health as a young man so take that lesson to heart.

Now give me a moment of your time to describe these people you are SO curious about.

First, the ridiculously intelligent Katsumi. He has a pony tail made out of natural raven hair and black eyes just like me but he wears glasses. He has sharp facial features with a black dot just beneath his right eye and has a weird habit of always accurately touching that spot under the pretense of 'fixing' his glasses. And surprisingly enough, they suit him very well making him look like a very distinguished person. Those damn sharp features of his accompanied by those freaking glasses compliment him so well to the point girls just freeze at the sight I awe.

The thing that ruins that distinguished picture of him is his over-cheerful mannerisms as they are a far stretch from his seemingly stern face. In general, this guy is just the embodiment of contradicting physical and attitude-wise characteristics. I just can't get a good read on him as he always gets second place if not first in our year. He's just that intellectually superior than most.

Next, the notoriously narcissistic leader of the bunch, the astounding Tamaki. A single glance at him and you can tell that he's one of those types of guys who you can clearly feel deserve a harem even if such antiques on appear in light novels and mangas.

This guy makes every girl swoon to their core.

This guy makes every guy very mad to their core.

I mean just look at him, how could they not. I repeat, all girls swoon all over him, and mentally weak ones even get wet without even realizing it as it is new to them since it's the start of puberty.

Someone as perfect as him shouldn't exist. Not ever. Blond shiny hair of foreign nature, gem blue sparkling eyes, ridiculously handsome, perfect height, ridiculously handsome, perfect at academics, ridiculously handsome, perfect at sports, perfect mannerisms, perfect body, perf-

Argh! Why was this atrocity even made to exist?

Did I mention that he was ridiculously handsome?

Even female teachers have a hard time looking at him whether married or unmarried. Good that he's not in my class.

If you consider yourself wise its better not to let your female friends get involved or else they'll be stolen right away.

I'm talking from experience by the way.

NEXT!!!

Finally, Mr cool guy and the one I second hate most of them all, Natsuo. Black shoulder length hair, cool serene green eyes, that cool calm vibe and most importantly THE natural drip. I don't even know why its that natural for him. Its like it just exists for him. He's just so uninterested in most things, more like everything but if it was just that, I wouldn't have hated him at all.

But the cause of all my hate for this guy is the person who is walking right beside him, my childhood friend, Saki.

And also, his girlfriend.

Bet you didn't see that coming huh.

Even after my explanation about Tamaki with perfect everything got chosen over by her.

I assure you its nothing like that at all.

If only you would allow me to waste a moment of your time with a brief flashback.
