Chapter 2 - Friendship Stays Strong

As soon as I left the class, I ran over to Kuzu so we could go into the next class. Once I catched up, I told her, "Kuzu, by any chance if you had the option, what would you change about your life?"

 Once I asked that, I noticed that Kuzu started to walk a little slower, as if she was deep in thought. After a few seconds she asked me, being very indecisive, "What would you change?" I looked at her and said, "absolutely nothing, I love my life and the times we spend together, it's all so much fun." She looked at me with a smile and said, "Me too, I just thought you didn't want me to say anything." 

I looked at her with a confused face and said, "What?" She looked back and told me, "Don't worry about it, it's nothing." After that remark, me and Kuzu decided to keep on walking to class, noticing we were both a bit late, we started dashing towards the door and saw one of our good friends Raigen doing the same. 

As we ran past student after student I decided to quickly tell Raigen what was slowing him down. He quickly replied with, "A girl..." As we were running I looked at him with Kuzu and we both said disappointingly, "A girl… really…" Raigen kept on looking forward and told us that she had the most beautiful silver eyes, and the most beautiful blonde hair… And before he could say anything else I cut him off and told him to tell us after school. 

Raigen stopped talking and quickly realized that we were 4 minutes late while looking down at his phone. He hastily told us, "Look at the time! We have to hurry up!" I looked at my phone and it was already 8:44. 

You see, usually normal schools don't start until 8:00 a.m. but it's different around here. Our schools start at 6:00 a.m. and even if that time looks like abuse we leave at 1:00 p.m. which is pretty early, but regardless… We still have to make it to class! We rushed to the class like Usain Bolt and we arrived around 5 minutes late. When we arrived, Mr. Shtriker looked at us with a mildly disturbed face and told us with his German accent leaking a bi, "Huh, so you three have the gaul to show up even though you are 5 minutes late..." Raigen, Kuzu, and I immediately said "we're sorry..." He face palmed himself and sighed. Right after that he told us, "Just go take a seat, I'm wasting too much time." We agreed to take our seats right after he said that and we continued our school day. Before we knew it, it was lunch time time and it was 10:40.

As we went to lunch we bumped into Johnny, he's a very tall guy that is basically good at everything. I mean, he's good at basketball, soccer, football, and more. To add on to the perfectness he's even good at every subject. To be honest, you can see him being called an ace in anything standing at 6"4' with dark black straightened hair, a perfect jawline, with a muscular but slim physique, and good grades. 

Since we all do sit together, we are basically the unique 4 when it comes to lunch. We always sit next to each other and it's just something that looks weird. We have a pretty looking girl, a 6"4' monster, a lady scout, and me… A loner that always does his best behind the scenes. 

When all 4 of us sat at our table, the day was pretty different from others... It was a more serious tone than any other days. Johnny looked down at his side of the table and told us that he's moving. For me, I thought that this would eventually be the case even if we are freshman, Johnny far exceeds highschool standards. 

While he was explaining that we don't have to worry much, all I could see was Kuzu and Raigen being stunned. Johnny kept on explaining and telling us what happened and how he got a call from a school overseas in Britain. He was thinking about going to it but he told them that he'd like to stick around for his freshman year.

Of course they couldn't reject a man they scouted and to top it off, it was a request from a prodigy like him. He looked at me and everyone else and told us, "I rejected the offer and asked for my acceptance at a later date because we have to enjoy life while we're young right?" 

Raigen proceeded to talk about how Johnny sounded like a protagonist. And then I thought to myself, "He really is like a protagonist, he lives such an interesting life, and I'm just happy I'm a part of it." Before we knew it lunch ended and since the four of us had different classes, we had to go our separate ways. So we did and carried on with our school day like it was nothing.
