Chapter 8 : Second Monday

(Note that this is a work of fiction. Any names and events are all fictitious. Happy reading!)

Saturday and Sunday went by. It is now Monday and we will be having a 100 items test, for every subject.

The money you will get will depend on your score. There is also a class ranking where the top 10 are given consolation prizes. And top 200 in school.

"Okay. Class president will you distribute this test papers"

Sakaguchi-sensei handed the prints to her. She took it and lightly bowed her head.

"Quiet"

'Our first test is English'

I am not overconfident or anything but, English tests here in Japan is way too easy for people who knows a lot about English. Even elementary level student will be able to answer the test, they could even get a perfect score.

"Okay, you can start now"

We were given 45 minutes to finish answering the test.

'I need to accumulate every Yen I can earn'

The English test without a hitch. I am sure that I will get a perfect score. Next was Math, Japanese History and so on.

I don't know if coming out first will be a good idea. But, one thing I'm sure of, I will earn a huge sum of money.

'Will I be able to earn three hundred million yen, by the end of this school year?'

If it weren't for the debt of my parents, I would be living like a happy man should.

My parents ran a small business. At first, the sales were good. My parents had so many customers. They loved our products and would buy lots of different new products.

Not until, an envious rich man had created and copied what my parents sells. That man lowered his price, half of our prices. His goal was not to earn, but to ruin our business.

Sales were not that great anymore. Customers barely come in and look inside. Slowly, our debt piled up, forcing my parents to closed their business. The bankruptcy of my parents' business was a soothing feeling for him. He has the greatest smile on his face.

After closing our business, my Mom and Dad decided to look for a job. They managed to find one, though the pay was not that good. We were still grateful about it, happy that all three of us were together.

Interests made our debt increase drastically. Loan sharks had been bothering us, nagging to pay our debt. We didn't have the money, so they hurt my parents. I wanted to protect them, but my Dad stopped me.

'This is a matter that your parents need to solve'

He said to me. I couldn't do anything. It always pain my hurt and my head hurts every time I dreamed or remember those memories.

The first half of the test were done. We're given a one hour break for our lunch.

I made haste and went to the cafeteria.

'All right. No one was following me and who would be following me. I need to avoid other students as much as possible, but from what I am doing, I am only bringing it on myself'

I haven't eaten ramen for a long time, I forgot how it taste now. I ordered the most expensive ramen on the menu and sat down with no one around me.

Ramen (/ˈrɑːmən/) (拉麺, ラーメン, rāmen, Japanese pronunciation: [ɾaꜜːmeɴ]) (literally: "pulled noodles") is a Japanese noodle soup. It consists of Chinese wheat noodles served in a meat or (occasionally) fish-based broth, often flavored with soy sauce or miso, and uses toppings such as sliced pork (叉焼, chāshū), nori (dried seaweed), menma, and scallions. Nearly every region in Japan has its own variation of ramen, such as the tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen of Kyushu and the miso ramen of Hokkaido. Mazemen is a ramen dish that is not served in a soup, but rather with a sauce (such as tare), like noodles that are served with a sweet and sour sauce.

It took only a few minutes for the cafeteria to be swarmed by hungry students.

Although they are all hungry, they hold it in and fall in line, in an orderly manner, they are noisy though.

"Sniff, sniff, this smell... it's Senpai!"

It was Rikka, I already saw her and she's voluptuous as usual. She was looking around, good thing our eyes didn't met when I looked at her.

'Yabai, I am wearing the same eye-glasses I wore inside the Battlegrounds'

I slightly looked down as I ate my ramen. I can not afford talking to her, she's talkative.

"Sniff, sniff, the smell's getting strong... not here..."

I quickly finished my ramen and stood up, return the bowl and went on my way to the rooftop.

I opened the door to the rooftop and saw a wild beast, eating like there will be no tomorrow.

I was expecting this, but let's just pretend that we didn't saw her. She was too engrossed by her food that she didn't noticed me.

She kept on going at it without thinking about her surroundings.

'Let's not get on her way'

I went to the farthest side of the rooftop and take a breather.

I still have about 20 minutes left before the second half of our test begins.

I took off my face mask. It is really uncomfortable wearing one. It makes your fac all sweaty and it hurts my ears.

I wiped off my sweats and let my mask hang on my right ear. This way, it will be easy to put it back, if Tachibana-san or someone come here.

"Burpeddddd!"

That's one hell of a burp. She just finished eating her lunch and now she's pulling a snack under her pocket.

She pulled out a desert under her pocket. She's insane, totally insane. Where is she putting all those food she ate.

"Kaneko-kun~"

She was suddenly behind me. I was surprised by her, I hurriedly put on my mask and face her.

"Thought I didn't notice you?"

"You're done eating"

She burped again, caressing her belly. She looks pregnant with her belly looking all bumpy.

"Sorry about that, hahaha, the food was really good, I couldn't help my self"

"Yeah, I could see it. You gained weight, about 2 kilograms, I think"

"Ehh!? Really!? Why? I've been on a diet this past few days!"

'You call what you did a diet?"

There's not much time left until our test continues. I suggest to her that we head back to our classroom.

-

We're taking P.E. test. We'll be doing it physically not a written exam.

We went to change into our PE clothes and went to the gym.

Milla-sensei was waiting for us at the gym. She was also wearing her gym clothes. Does gym clothes always looks so sexy? The boys were drooling at the sight of her and the girls were a bit jealous of her sexy figure.

"A busty redhead" I muttered to myself.

She used her whistle and had us form a line.

"Okay, listen up. Your test will be a 200 meter run. 5 students per round. Don't worry, there will be no failing score for the last place. Just participating is enough to get an average grade"

Still, there are others who are bad at running. It will still be a hassle for them. They can't argue about it, they need to pass this test.

We went to the race track and Milla-sensei called the names of who will be running.

"Each place has a different grade. The 1st place will get a perfect score, the second's 90, the third is 80, the 70 and the last place is 60"

Milla-sensei called out and the students that were called, they lined up and prepared to run.

"Ready, set, go!"

The first set was a blast. That set consists of athletic students who are used to running. Girls were cheering for who they bet on. Money's still involve, this school really is something. I can't believe this.

The test goes on. Three sets has been successful and now it's the last set for the boys. It's time for me run. I thought of going for third or forth place. I don't want to show off that much and become popular to my classmates. I can't have them nagging on me, it will be hell. All I want is a peace of mind.

"On your marks. Ready, set, go!"

This sets consists of the two fastest runner on our class. They are from the track and field and have competed in many competitions, though they haven't reach the National's yet.

They went full throttle as soon as Milla-sensei said the go signal. The two were competing against each other and so is my classmates, who are watching.

They're placing their bets on one of the two runners. That sight, it made me want to crush them.

I was caught up by them, I didn't saw that I am on the last place. Without much thought, I made up my mind.

I used all of my speed, leaving my two classmates behind. I'm not doing that for grades, it was all to ruin their game, their bets.

The three of us were lined up, running alongside each other. I was between the two when I said, "See you at the finish line"

I speed up even more. Their speed was nothing compared to mine. I had them eat my dust when I leave them behind and went first place.

A lot of my classmates looks so disappointed. They must have lost a lot from that race. But one girl's happy because of that race.

She approached me along with some of my classmates. I know what they want.

A particular girl had gave me a towel. I took it and used to wiped my sweats off.

"Thank you, Tachibana-san. You look happy, you must have placed your bet on me"

"Geh! Am I too obvious? It's not just me, them too. I told them to placed their bets on you"

'Why? They would blame her if I didn't ever decided on going for first place'

"Good for all of you"

I sat down and relax. That was a bit tiring, but it was good.

Tachibana-san and the others sat beside me.

"You're really cool when you leave those two past behind you"

"Yeah, you're really fast Kaneko-kun. Are you from track too?"

This is what I was afraid of. Questions and answers. I would be glad to answer if it was a girl but the one asking was a boy.

'Let's just answer nonchalantly. Come up with a lie'

"Nah, I'm not. I'm just used to running"

"Still, that was one hell of a speed! Those two were from the track and you beat them so easily"

"It wasn't easy"

Tachibana-san must have noticed that I don't want of their questions anymore so she stopped them and said to focus and bet on who'll win.

Thanks to her, I had the opportunity to stood up and go drink some water at the faucet.

Tachibana-san becoming a pain too. She's following me around this time.

"Why are you following me?"

I stopped and turned to face her.

She was smiling. "I'm not, I'm here to drink"

"Okay, then"

I am not drinking anymore. I know she's lying about drinking, so I let her pass me and I went back without drinking water. I'll just buy some drinks at the vendo machine.

"W-wait! I didn't mean to be a bother"

I didn't turned around or stop to face her. I just kept on walking away from her, but she's persistent, she's still following me.

The vending machine's at the side of the main building of the third years.

"Hey, why are you being like that?"

I finally turned around to face her as we reached where the vending machine is.

"Why? I want to be alone. So, I suggest you leave me alone"

To be honest, I am a bit annoyed. I really hate it when someone keeps following me around when they know that I don't like it.

"No! Is there a rule like, you can't follow anyone!?"

'Now she's raising her voice at me. She's becoming more and more of a pain in the ass'

I stepped closer to her. I was gonna grab her when she dodged me, hitting against the wall. I did those, what does anyone call it? A wall corner? I dunno.

Using both my hands to corner her against the wall, I began speaking.

"Nee, Tachibana-san, did you know why I went on my way here to transfer?"

I come up with a solution, to make her avoid me. I just hope that it will not ruin my image.

"Wh-why?"

"I was forced to transfer to another school because, I sexually assualted my classmate who's been following me around. Wanna know what I did to her?"

Sweats was on her forehead. She swallowed at the thought of what I did.

"I think I'm good, hehe, hehehe"

She wasn't looking at me, she averted her eyes and was trying to push me. But I didn't budge and I leaned closer to her ear.

She could feel my breath on her ear. I whispered to her and said.

"But I'm not. You brought it yourself, might as well finish this"

I put my knee between her legs and chucked her chin. Caressing her lips, I slowly leaned my head to her.

"H-hey! Stop, stop, stop! Iyaaa! Don't kiss me!"

'Idiot I still have my mask on'

"You're suppose to close your eyes and let your lips feel it all"

She was trying to escape from my grasps, pushing me with all her might.

"I'm not gonna kiss you, I will make you my woman"

"That's even worst! Iyaaa, let go of me you ugly!"

I grabbed both her hands to restrict her from moving.

"Yes, I'm ugly and this ugly dude will rape the shit out of you and make you his woman"

'What was I grinning for, when she can't see my face'

I undo one of her uniforms button.

"N-no! Please, no more, sob"

'Oh, God, she's crying. I overdid it this time. I really am an idiot and a fucking bastard, for making a girl cry'

I stopped and did the button of her uniform. She was wiping off her tears when I let go of her hands.

"I was, sob, just gonna ask you, sob"

'Idiot, said it so'

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of that. I overdid it, I just really want to be alone"

She was still sobbing, sitting on the ground.

"Now, stand up, you'll dirty your uniform"

I helped her stand, she grabbed on to me and finally stopped crying.

"You're such a pervert Kaneko-kun! You don't have to do that, you should have ask first!"

'No, no, that's out of the question. Who ask someone if they can molest them?'

"Then, I'll try asking you from now on. By the way, you wear some cute kitty panties, huh"

She pulled down her skirt, pouting like a kid and blushing like an idiot.

"I can't believe you! Hmph!"

'What?'

"You said you want to ask something?"

"Right, my little sister told me about this handsome Senpai of his who threatened her to reveal their trick and made her lose a few hundred thousand"

'That's really her sister'

"Ehh... really? So, how am I related to that?"

Making myself look clueless.

"She said his name is Kaneko-kun. I wonder if that is someone you know, hmmm"

"Heh... must be someone with the same name"

I was still denying it.

She browsed through her phone and showed me a picture of her sister, Rose and a guy eating at a... yakiniku! Wait, when did she take that?

She posted it on social media with a caption 'With my handsome Senpai' heart heart emoji and some pouting emojis.

"You might know him. And I haven't forgive you, for doing that to me!"

'Of course, she won't still be over it'

I took off my mask and let her have a look at what she just called ugly earlier.

"Here, we don't look the same right?"

She looked intently at my face and back to the picture.

"Yeah, you two don't look alike. You're way too ugly, I forgive you" she turned her back on me and suddenly shifted. "Who are you fooling here!? Oi, you didn't do anything naughty to my sister, right!?"

"Little Tachibana was an obedient kouhai. She didn't disobey any orders I gave her. She's far more mature than you are and feminine"

It was time to change and go back to our classroom, so I, left her there after saying that joke to her.

"H-hey! I'm not done with you!" Get back here!"

In the shadows of that building, there's a girl hiding and silently watching the two.

"Heh... so Kaneko-kun's really that good-looking huh? And talented at that"
