Unexpected Friends
Chapters 2. Hey Who's There

Speaker sound like a command. I, Eliz, and Fumika then go down and look for our class position which happens to be the same, which is class 10 - MIA 1.

The atmosphere triggered by the chatter and the screams of the students turned calm as the teachers gave the code to keep us quiet during the continuation of this welcoming ceremony.

🍿📢🍿

"I, as the principal congratulated the new students and hopefully you will be at home attending school until the end. Thus, sorry if there are words that are lacking or wrong in the mention. Finally, happy school here."

Finally finished also the speech of the Headmaster who was very long. Without further ado, the three of us went straight to look for classes. Curious I asked Fumika where our class is. Then he replied, "Our class is on the 4th floor."

At first I just said 'Ooh' until 2.3 seconds passed I spontaneously shouted, "AAAH?! What the hack?!"

Why do I have to face the stairs again? And a new struggle begins, to the class. Instantly, my 'Young Age Spirit' disappeared like being drowned in an endless gloomy ocean.

🍁🍁🍁

I can't stop thinking about this disturbing feeling. How the woman hit me. Is she okay?

***

Because of this bad luck, I remember the stupid man who hit me this morning. I hope he can sleep well after I know his class! Maybe he humiliated me on the first day of school.

Where is he?

Where is he?

I hope he's okay.

May he be unlucky.

I have to apologize.

I'll beat him up!

Tap..., tap..

My steps stopped when I looked up at me. From the misadventures that have occurred lately, I found the first unlucky maker. The short skinny guy!

Ugh, suck! Does he remember his bad behavior? I got on the pitan remembering it.

She again? I can't believe it. The world is narrow. Of all the people who passed by here, how can we meet? It's almost impossible. Should I apologize to him? But there's a friend of his. How'this?

Why is he silent? Afraid of me? Huh, Bad day ever.

I'll tell her about this morning to remind her if she remembers. "Hey!" But before I opened my voice, he pulled my hand firmly to the size of a skinny man. I was taken away from Fumika and Eliz. They didn't help me, instead saying, "Alice! Why are you running around? Classes over here!"

I inwardly grumbled, "I was taken away, my gosh."

🚌⛓️🚌

"Well... Huh... Hah..," My breath was beheaded for the duration of running around with this one man. Is he not as excited as I am?

Now, we're a long way from Fumika and Eliz. I stopped my steps in a corner of the room near a quiet corner.

I shook off his hand that was holding my left hand while yelling, "What the fuck are you! Why did you bring me here? I'm warning you, if you're anything, I'm taking you to a mental doctor!"

That man doesn't ignore me. Then he looked around. Then he said, "Wait, calm down. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for bumping into you this morning."

He wanted to apologize to me. But why do I feel like I can't accept it? How do I explain it?

So first he hit me in public and laughed and didn't apologize or help me. The two were taken away for an apology without any apparent reason. Think again, can I accept that?

"If only that could be said directly! Why should I be brought here? If you fuck up I'll act 'assertive' to you!" Still feeling annoyed, I snapped at him again. He looked like he had just come to his senses with my words, then kept his distance by retreating a few meters. After that, he again apologized while bowing.

I resigned to him. He has melted the fire of resentment in my heart with his sincerity. Or I am ashamed of his attitude if caught by others. So I said, "Yes, don't do it again. I'm going to class, so I'll take my leave."

I turned out from that quiet corner and left it. But before I left, I asked, "Aren't you in class?"

"No. I can't go to class."

"What?"

"Oh, I said my class is going in the opposite direction to you"

I stopped walking to talk to him again. Looks like we could be friends. "Oh, yes, I have. By the way, what's your name?"

The man slowly approached me, then spoke softly, "Naoki Furugawa. Just call Naoki." His round eyes glowed as sunlight passed through the sidelines of the room. And his peach-red lips are sweetest in between the corners.

"If you?" My head's heating up. Naoki's face was so Kawaii that I blushed. I tried to control myself and covered the face that seemed like it was going to explode, "Alice, Alice Yamada I'm in class 10 - IPA 1. You?"

"Secret," Naoki's ignorant face came out. He pointed his lips with his index finger like a code. I'm sorry to make it, "Oh, come on?!" This was just a small curiosity, yet it was exaggerated like this was a state secret.

Naoki looked panicked. Smiling awkwardly he said, "OK, okay please don't be mad. I'm in class 10 - 2 IPS,"

"Gum!!" I laughed when I saw her panicked face. He simply replied, if not okay. "thank you. Hope you get to class safely. And don't take people's hands off acquaintances, okay?"

Before I left, I teased him. "DID?!!" His confused face was really clumsy. Being adorable!

"Bye"

And we're separated. Suddenly in the middle of the road I thought of something strange. Looks like, Naiko 'said it's impossible to class'? What possible... She's in the bully? Poor too. The first day was bullied.

After hearing his warning, I increased my running speed following them until we finally entered the classroom sweating.

I took the corner seat by the window behind 1 seat, next to Eliz. Fumika is in a relationship with Eliz.

After all the students finished taking a sitting position, the class began!

At first the noise was unstoppable, then immediately silent when a woman in her 30s turned out to be a teacher.

He put a book and some files on his desk. Then welcome us. "Hello students pride in HOKKAIDO 45 High School! I am Youki Takumi's Mother, your Japanese teacher and your Classroom Guardian. Please cooperate with him." Such were the first words of welcome between teacher and student. I think Miss Yoki is good.

After we all get acquainted, we continue the class. Ms. Yoki explained what to do for tomorrow while writing on the board. Although I was lazy to look at it or take notes, Eliz always told me to take notes.

"OK, so tomorrow you have to bring these tools... Then you put your names together to get acquainted. It's gini..." The words of Ms. Youki that I still remember. After that I woke Eliz up and recorded everything.

"All right, it's all done?" Ask Ms. Yoki who replied, "Yes ma'am!" by all the students of the class. After getting the answer, Ms. Yoki deleted the writing on the whiteboard. Then write again. This time it was a class schedule. "You write. Because Monday through Wednesday there are Japanese lessons, all of you write this PR." Youki ma'am softly said.

We're shocked. Why was he given the first day of duty? It's insanity. We want to protest, but no one knows how to speak. Until a kid in a brown jacket spoke up. "Mom! It's the first day of school! Why was he given a task?" Finally, the moment we are waiting for arrives. There is a brave provocateur among us in order to protest freely.

But, as these protests progressed, the class air became gripping. Like there's a snake that's going to wrap around a rabbit. And just right, Youki ma'am immediately threw the marker she used to write towards the brown-jacketed child.

The boy's head immediately turned red so hard. "You're young already brash. Be beaten?" Youki ma'am's words shrunk our intentions. All of the noisy were instantly calm so in shock, all of the class children were frightened by the attack earlier. "You guys just threw a ciut, how about being a mom? EVERYTHING CLEAN THE TOILETS!!!"

🗯️😵🗯️

And that's how I, Eliz, and Fumika got stuck in a filthy toilet like hell's torment. Eliz suffered the most from having to clean the WC hole that was always a 'surprise' in it. "Why doesn't anyone want to change? Someone's floating here!" Eliz protested, but we ignored it. Even Fumika just said "Jaudah." As for me, "Your suffering Eliz~" I'm a bad friend huh? Stupid terribly. "Damn it!" Grouse Eliz.

We also continue to continue the 'work' given by our beloved teacher by occasionally swearing to express the taste.

Then, while we were busy chatting, Youki ma came while walking straight in front of the toilet by occasionally looking at us with a piercing killer gaze. Frightened, we immediately clean the toilet with a rush until finally Youki ma'am left.

"Huhhhhh,... He's finally gone." Say I'm relieved. "Alice, better close the door." Ask Fumika. "For no one to hear. Danger if it's tough." Another request I got from Eliz.

Because Fumika was cleaning the window, and Eliz sucked the WC, I had to mop the floor that closed the door. While walking lazily, I headed for the door that I was about to close while muttering "Gallak once the teacher."

"No, not really."

"Huh?" I didn't think anyone would return my words. I don't expect anyone to pay it back. From Fumika and Eliz, but someone else replied. As I searched for the source of his voice, I found a short thin man standing in front of the toilet door, holding a bag in his left arm. This guy feels familiar, does...

"Naoki?"

"Well, what are you doing, Alice?" It turns out that my guess is correct.

Then I answered the question he had previously asked, "It's okay, just got 1 class punishment." Naoki seemed to understand the situation. He answered, "Oh... Youki's mom is right, isn't she? The strong yes. Actually, Ms. Youki wasn't what she looked like if it wasn't for her illness."

He cheered me? Oh My.. ! Oh, duh Alice! Don't lose your mind! I blushed with Naoki's words. Though it was nothing. After I came to my senses, I looked at her with a cold gaze while asking "What pain?"

"Bipolar's." Naoki replies, "That's why she's changing mood, right?" I just said "Yes" and thought back. There was something strange about Ms. Yoki.

But there's something more awkward. "How do you know that Ms. Youki is Bipolar?" Then it says, "Hmm, ..." With a slightly agitated face. "Ka.. Because it's... All the teachers have said that" Naoki smiled as if forced.

Then I said "Yes" again, and then I asked.

"Why could that be?"

"So, he said he was stressed because his students there were ma.. Night play, yes, because of that, youki ma'am has to take responsibility and stress because of her students." Naoki's like covering something up. But, I don't care.

I'm late in daydreaming until, "Alice! What the hell?" Fumika's blaring voice made me realize. Then I answered while looking at him. "It's okay, just a friend. His name is Naoki Furugawa."

"Ah? Whahuh? Naoki??" Eliz asked as he came out of the central toilet. I then replied again limply while showing Naoki's place in front of the toilet door. "Yes, this is in...a?"

Where's she? Questions dibelakku. "Instead of daydreaming, let's go back to cleaning, Alice. I'm done" That's what Fumika replied. I was offended because they didn't believe me. So I defended while closing the toilet door, "There really is a tau!"

🐾💀🐾

Clap, the sound of a closed toilet door. A silhouette watching them from a distance ran to the streets and climbed some stairs to a room, precisely the room was closed and quiet from the reach of many people who at that time were still in the classroom.

The silhouette entered the room, closed the door tightly, and lit a flashlight to illuminate the pitch-black room. Then, he picked up a suitcase under the bed. Unlock with her arm.

The contents of the suitcase turned out to be some photos that were crossed out in the form of X with red markers to cover the faces of the photos and a knife with a little red stain that dried.

The silhouette muttered to himself as he lifted a photo that thought it was a picture of a man he had crossed off. "Quite a hassle when facing you. But, with your stupidity, everything can finally be silenced."

Then, the silhouette took down the photo and raised a new photo. The photo that he has not scribbled and seen that the face of the photo is a woman. "What if this one? Looks pretty, should it be flanked?" He thought for a while, then said spontaneously "Oh, I know!"

A stack of photos - a new photo scrawled with red markers will cover the bloody night sky.

🌄🎑🌄

Finally, the penalty of cleaning the toilet was completed. We can get out of there safely, except for Eliz. Looks like she's traumatized by the toilet. "Don't argue, don't make trouble, don't,... Toilet.gruesome..". Such was the murmur of poor Eliz.

Trying to find a topic, I asked Fumika, "Fumika, who's this lesson?" Then it was answered, "Mathematical Lessons with Ms. Wakfu."

Wait, Math?! Suddenly I screamed hysterically and in disbelief, I tried to see the schedule Fumika was holding. But, sadly, "What the hell?! You have one too, right? Move!!" I was pushed until I hit someone behind me. "Alice!! Sorry, sorry. Not sick?" The suspect apologized after the victim was injured. "You ah."

"Sir, are you okay?" A foreign voice sounded in my ear. This voice came from behind me. When I turned around, it turned out to be a big brother! Men too!

I freaked. My reflex is to bend my body to apologize. "MA'S.. I'M SORRY BROTHER!!" Panic mixed with shame. My good name is like being smeared in society.

But fortunately, this upperclassman just said, "Eat him you guys carefully. Don't push."

Thankfully, this brother was very understanding. When I wanted to thank you, I looked up my head and said, "Thank you brother... Uh.."

I'm dumbfounded. Apparently, this brother I hit is no ordinary person.
