30 Monday's heat

Shin's POV

Today is another Monday. The good news is there are no schools today better yet since school ended in November the 2nd semester wont start until next year plus we are going to the beach on Thursday.

But the problem is it's scorching hot!

Me and Ai are sitting right in front of a 2 max powered fan and the heat still gets us "Brother it's so hot i can't take it!" She said, complaining.

"You're not the only one feeling the heat here" I replied, sweating.

"Darlings don't take the fans all to yourselves let mom get some air please!" My mom said rushing towards us and sat down in front of the fan as well.

"Hwaah much better, still hot but better" She said with a satisfied face.

"M-mom?! Aren't you supposed to be at the cafe?" Ai asked.

"Are you kidding me? In this heat? No nu uh no way i would work in conditions like this" She replied.

"Isn't it your cafe mom?" I asked "Exactly, It's mine so i'm free to do whatever i want plus i already told my employees to take the day off it would be cruel of me to tell them to go to work when they finally have some time to relax i'm not a monster you know" She explained.

"Well when you put it that way it does make sense" I said.

But come to think of it they would probably enjoy working in an air conditioned workspace than suffering immense heat at home.

"I wonder how your father is doing in situations like this" She wonders.

*Meanwhile in an office outside of Tokyo*

"Ugh it's scorching hot luckily there is an AC in here hahahaha" A man in suit laughed as he turns on the air conditioner in his office and enjoys the breeze "I wonder how the others are doing back at home hahaha" The man wonders while eating a piece of ice cream.

*Back to Tokyo*

"I hope he is suffering as much as we do right now" I said.

"Okay you know what mother had enough of this! I was gonna save it for later but i can't handle this anymore Ai grab the ice cream from the freezer!" She said and both me and Ai went straight to the freezer and grabbed a bucket of ice cream.

"Since when do we have this mom?" Ai asked "I made it for your father as a gift when he comes back tomorrow but it won't hurt to take just a little bit don't you think?" She said, winking.

The three of us then enjoy a "little" bit of ice cream so little that there is only the bucket left.

After we finished the three of us sat down on the couch letting out a sigh of relief.

"Ahh~ now this is heaven" My mom said pleased.

But the pleasure doesn't last very long because the heat started striking back.

"Well it was fun while it lasted i'm just gonna go to my room and die, There is a cold soda in the fridge if you guys want some" My mom said crawling to her room.

"Brother fetch me the soda please" She said lazily.

"You have legs, go fetch it yourself and while you are at it grab one for me too" I said lazily as well.

"Rock paper scissors?" She asked, looking in my direction and I nodded.

"Rock" "Paper" "Scissors"

"Rock" "Paper" I lost.

"Dammit not fair" I complain "Yeah yeah hurry up i'm dying here" She said ignoring my complaints.

I took two cans of soda from the fridge and toss one out to Ai "Heads up" I said throwing the soda can and she catches it "Thank you"

I opened the soda can and sat back down on the couch "Cheers brother" She said lifting up her can in the air as if it's some fancy high class drink.

I also did the same thing "Cheers" I said lifting my can.

Ring ring ring ring.

Just as I was about to take a sip my phone rang. It's a video call invitation from Makoto and the others.

I answered the call and positioned the phone on the table facing both me and Ai.

As soon as it is connected all we can see is the suffering expression of Makoto,Naoto and Mio.

"Hey guys how's your monday ugh..." Makoto asked while constantly fluttering herself with a fan.

"Well better than you guys i suppose" I replied while taking a sip from the soda.

"Hey that's not fair Shin pass me some of those" Naoto said and I ignored.

"M-mio you are full of sweat" I said looking at Mio's drenched appearance.

"I-i'm fine don't worry about me i just finished taking care of my garden that is all" She replied.

"By the way where is Shishi?" Ai asked, "Hold on, I'll invite her and Ryuji" Makoto said.

After a few moments they finally connected but Ryuji declined the invitation after Shishiro turn's on her camera. We saw her and Ryuji in Shishiro's house sitting on a couch with no sweat whatsoever.

"Hey guys how's your monday going?" She asked, waving at the camera.

"Why are you two not sweating?" Makoto asked.

"It's because there is an air conditioner here of course" Ryuji replied.

An idea crossed my mind and it seems I'm not the only one who thought about it. We all disconnected from the video call and headed straight to Shishiro's house.

Ding dong.

We rang the doorbell and as soon as she opened the door we immediately barged in "Excuse us" We said together.

All of us welcome the fresh breeze of an air conditioned home "Ahh~ This is heaven" Makoto said.

Shishiro giggled "Hahaha please make yourselves at home" She said as she led us to the living room where Ryuji is already sitting on a couch.

"Hey guys what took you guys so long?" He asked.

"We would've been here this morning if we knew that Shishiro had an air conditioner" Makoto said frustrated.

"Now now don't be upset here, have some watermelon slices" Shishiro said while putting down a plate filled with watermelon slices on top of the table in front of the couch.

"Thanks Shishiro" Mio said, taking a slice followed by Ai and the others.

And before I get the chance to grab one of the watermelons, "Shishi are there no more left?" I asked.

"Yeah sorry we are out of watermelons" She replied while taking a bite.

"W-want some of mine" Mio offers shyly.

"Can i?" I asked and she replied with a nod.

I sit next to Mio and share the watermelon with her.

"How envious" Ai said.

After finishing the watermelons we talked about random stuff before suddenly something feels off.

"Why do i feel like we are forgetting something?" Makoto said.

"Me too, I wonder what" I said.

"Hey guys, wait a minute shouldn't all of you be at school to take the exam results?" Shishiro's mother said coming down the stairs.

"Oh my god the results!!! I totally forgot we are going to school right now!" Makoto said.

We all stood up and headed to the door and when we opened Mr.Stephan was on the other side.

He let out a sigh "I figured you guys would be here" He said entering the house.

"Sir we are sorry we didn't go to school we forgot" I said.

"Father, I'm sorry too, please forgive us" Shishiro said begging.

"Cmon sit down" He said sitting down on the couch "Here" He gave us a piece of paper containing our results.

"Our results?" Makoto asked.

"Well the most frustrating part is" He let out a sigh "Nobody showed up at school not even a single student" He said.

The room suddenly went to silence "O-ohhh hehe"

"So I have to wander around the city and visit every single student's house in this heat. I'm just happy to be home" He said.

"If you guys would excuse me i need a rest" He said as he stood up and headed to his room.

"Well that was something isn't it? Anyways how much did you guys score?" Ryuji asked.

"I got a perfect score hehhe" Ai said with a smug "I also got one" Shishiro said.

"I got 95. I made one mistake" Mio said.

"89" Naoto said "Same" Ryuji also scored a 89 mark.

"How much did both of you get?" Shishiro asked, looking at both me and Makoto.

The result is very shocking "We got a perfect score" We both said at the same time.

"What?! Congratulations!!!" Shishiro said jumping in happiness.

After a few moments of celebrating we decided to make plans for thursday.

"I'll bring a volleyball. What are you guys going to bring?" I asked.

"I'll bring some cold drinks and some snacks" Ryuji said "Same here" Naoto said.

"Ugh, I wonder if I have enough money to buy a swimsuit. Mine doesn't fit anymore" Makoto said "Same i need to buy a new one it's been a while since i went to the beach" Shishiro said.

"Say let's go buy swimsuits together!" Makoto said.

"Sure it will be fun" Shishiro replied.

"Mine still fits though" Mio said "No you're still coming" Ai said "Don't you want to impress Shin?" Ai whispered.

"W-well I suppose it won't hurt to buy a new one" Mio said.

"Well then you girls do that while we-"

"What are you talking about you boys are coming too" Makoto said cutting me off.

"WHAT!?"
