One more time - 3

First subject, Math.

Our teacher was a cool guy who also gets along with us students, but he would discipline us if needed.

I even got a pinch from him twice because of a fight that broke out between a classmate and me.

The class went as usual, and I kept feeling a sense of deja vu because I've actually been here already!

There were a few different things though, and that was because I didn't go to school yesterday.

"Ezzie, could you answer this problem on the board."

Class just started within a minute and what looked like an equation was written on the board.

'y = x + x^2'

He doesn't bully students or anything, but he really wants to make sure that you've learned his lessons and the topics well enough to not make you fail. In a way, teacher Onero is a fine man.

I was situated on the middle part of the room at the middle aisle, and I could feel a lot of stares towards me.

With indifference I went near the board and took the chalk that teacher handed over.

I drew a table which had the headers for input and output, and if I'm correct, the current lesson was about functions...

...

Second subject, English.

Our teacher had to go on a long break and gave us a very long novel to read which would have topics included on our masteries next week, so everyone had rushed to read the particular novel.

She gave us half an hour to read the first chapter and make a short summary about it, and since I was absent yesterday, I was called to the front to let out my thoughts about the first chapter.

Once more I stood and walked towards the front before starting to make a brief summary about the chapter, and I don't want to be called again so I proceeded to summarize even until the fourth chapter.

I could only smile and chuckle inside as I saw the look on their faces, and the top one student on our class actually went on and scan the book as I summarized, checking if there were any flaws.

What the heck, maybe I shouldn't have done that because I might stand out a bit too much and affect the future tasks.....

Until noon, I've been called a few times except for our History teacher that didn't really wanted to bother much with absentees.

"Dude, what happened? You went sick then became a genius overnight? Or did you actually read our books in advance?"

"What the heck man, I've always read our books in advance. I just don't want to get called at the front anymore so I overdid it a bit, but looks like I'll be gathering more attention from now on instead..."

"Is Ezzie here?"

A familiar girl's voice sounded throughout the whole room, and made everyone stare upon the lady on the door.

Sure enough, she's come. I never thought that it would happen, but she still came regardless.

"Dude, that person is looking for you. Even yesterday." Aiden hovered towards my and whispered on my ear, "Does she like you?"

"I'm not sure man, I barely even know her."

According to my memories, she didn't appear anymore after we met last time after being cut by a teacher, but now she actually still came even after I didn't went to school yesterday? It makes me curious what she actually needs from me.

"C'mon, don't let the girl wait." A boy with a large frame tugged on my arm before actually pulling me upwards and stand.

It was Brian, who I've heard in a few times that has a liking towards Lyn.

I couldn't care much about how their current relationship is, but I can't just ignore a big guy before he might actually start to pummel me until I become nailed to the ground.

From his glance that looked like it had sharp daggers of light, he's probably a bit jealous but still doesn't assume anything. Or was he just like this expressionless that made his overall look somewhat of a cold guy.

"I get it, I'll go."

He let go of my hand and followed me using his eyes as I slowly made my way over Lyn on the doorway.

"Do you need something?" I bluntly asked, and I hope she cuts in to the point.

"I'd like to meet you after school, is that alright?"

"Eh? Sure..... Eh?"

The first time we met, she didn't directly told me to meet after school, but only vaguely asked if I was busy after school.

I guess she really wants to push herself this time around eh?

This time around?

Did she also come back in time?

There's not enough evidence but if she is, then...

"Sure. Let's meet by the cafe outside school. My treat."

"Okay."

With a short reply, she dashed off towards her own classroom, and I turned around to see everyone staring at me.

"Did Lyn actually just ask him out?"

"I can't believe Lyn likes this guy!"

"So much tension, and lunch just started..."

"Brian, how do you feel about them two getting together?"

All sorts of ideas kept going through these people's heads and I can't help but listen while returning to my seat.

"Ezzie boy's spring time?" Aiden spread his arms wide before taking a spoonful of rice from his lunch box.

"Nah. Not today. I have other plans."

"Your smile is different. You seem different. I'm not sure what I'm feeling, but it's probably a girl, right? And you say it's not Lyn?"

"Yep. I'll show you her picture someday, maybe a week later?"

"A week later.....wow. My boy Ezzie is really confident, that's new. Also you were supposed to tell me about your last Friday's raid, right?"

"Ah! Was it supposed to be today?..."

I actually forgot that we had a raid last time, as it was already two weeks since then.

But I remembered the last boss that I soloed, which was Mastia. Maybe telling him that story would do.

...

Classes finally ended, and the rest of the teachers didn't call me to have some kind of recitation anymore. The earlier teachers probably discussed to the later ones that I had already studied the lessons that I missed yesterday.

Almost everyone had went out and Aiden and I remained at the classroom. Brian was also there, and he probably plans to follow me to see what business I have with Lyn.

"You're still here? Let's have a chat here instead."

A girl's voice sounded from the doorway and Lyn was already standing there, her bag on her hands.

"Lyn! Do you actually like this guy?"

The other big guy Brian which also stayed went forward and approached Lyn. I could see her eyes from the side, which seemed to avoid Brian's eyes.

Seeing how awkward the situation is, I decided to go near them too.
