15 Guess what, the real trouble didn't even start

I walked to the front and stood beside sensei's desk and started to speak out,

" My name is Haruka Inoue, 17", there were a lot of murmurs in the class as soon I said my name. "I moved out from Kuoh during my childhood and returned due to my father's transfer. I like to play sports and watch anime. That's pretty much it, hope we get along." And as soon as my introduction is done, some hands were raising especially on the girl's side. I can expect what she wanted to ask already.

"Inoue-san, are you related to Yukika Inoue senpai, Mami san, and Reji san?" Reji looked at me as if he was threatening me as if to deny it and Mami was … fuck, not even interested in looking at me. I looked at her and answered, " Yes, we are distant relatives." Almost all the class broke into murmurs and slight gasps. Another girl raised her hand... and she looked quite familiar. She had this look to her which is screaming the words, 'troublesome'. And while I was figuring out who she was, she asked me the question, " Are you still single?"

The whole class was looking at me, and some girls were throwing some disgusting looks at her but were also keeping an eye on me. I smirked and said, " Who knows". The class went "kyah", which I admit was a bit cringing to hear live. The girl looked shocked as she heard the reply and recovered after a few seconds and looked out. Before any of them could ask any other questions, the teacher stopped them and asked me to take my seat. While walking to my seat, I could see Mami's pages on the book she was reading were wrinkled, like someone crushed them with their fists during my introduction. I didn't want to think the reason why because it could only make me depressed, slightly anyway.

The sensei began to go on with her lessons as soon as I sat down. I listened for a few minutes because it has been years since I went through this experience. Most of the time during college, I used to lock myself into my room and do the initial game project for my career whereas my peers were studying and enjoying at the same time. Of course, I had friends and they were the ones who used to pull me out of my room and made to hang out with them, that used to be so much fun.

But after listening for a few minutes, I immediately got bored. Firstly, it is because of the fact that I'm aware of the things she is saying, and second, I'm running through different scenarios in my mind of what's gonna happen according to the story

TIMESKIP TO LUNCH BREAK:

"JAJAJAJA, C'mon make entertain me more partner!!!! JAJAJAJAJAJA!!!!!!!!"

If you are wondering why Noir was laughing like a madman, here is why: Currently, every single one of my childhood mates, the ones which I made a resolution that will stay away from them, are in my class and staring daggers at me. I'm eating my bento while sweating(inside) and keeping a calm face outside. This all started when the first break started, a beautiful-looking girl with long black hair and shiny blue eyes came in. My eyes watered a bit as the person made her way into the class. She was none other than Rika, one of my childhood friends. She was a little sister-like figure to me. She always used to cry whenever someone won the games we played or whenever someone used to tease her, especially me, her face used to turn as red as a tomato. Reminiscing those sweet days made my eyes water a bit. And also looking at her now, no one will believe me if I say she was a cute little crybaby.

She made her way to Mami's place and started to talk to her. I turned my head to the window because I was a little afraid of how she's gonna react if she looks at me. I'm convinced 99.99% that she's gonna react how Mami or Maya did. The other remaining percentage is a small hope that she doesn't react to anything and just leaves me alone. Don't get me wrong that I am being a bitch by being nervous, anxious, or afraid to face. It's just that, I have a soft spot for these guys and my beef is with the Inoue Clan Elders, who made mine and my parent's life hard. And if these guys do go against me, holding back will not be an option.

I was thinking these things while looking out of the window when I heard a gasp. I instinctively turned around and to my rotten luck, it was Rika looking at me with her eyes wide open. I didn't know how to react and smiled a little awkwardly. I was ready for any lashing but to my surprise, she turned away and exited the class. I was confused and also relieved that she didn't react in any negative way. Mami looked at me with a semi stern expression which I replied by looking out of the window. Then Noir spoke up,

"Yo aibou, what happened to your so-called resolution huh? You already encountered almost half of the group before 2 hours itself."

I replied with a sigh, "Do you think I'm loving this? If I wished, I would've wanted to be placed in a class that has no connections to them, but it is not possible. All I can do is keep my head low in the coming hours at least."

Then Noir replied back and I could imagine him with a sly smirk on his face, " No, no by all means, keep stirring up things more and more. I'm literally having the time of life seeing you struggle."

I deadpanned at his idiotic request and replied back, " I'm sorry but I'm gonna make sure that your request will not come to wish."
