8 (Side) Chapter 6.5
(A/N Notes: I'll be always putting these notes because it became a staple for me to do this)
Early in the morning, the following day after meeting Daichi
Yuriko and Takeru had just stopped at another red pedestrian light as they made their way to school
"... Now that I think about you, you were calling that Daishi guy with as vice-prez. weren't you?"
"Daichi, you mean? Yes, I call him vice-prez. Daichi-san, why you ask?"
"Just for curiosity... So that means he's from the student council, right?"
"Yup!"
"I see..."
"..."
"..."
The conversation awkwardly ended there
"... Aren't you going to ask why I call him that way?"
Yuriko asked him in a slightly troubled voice
"Why would I ask you that? You probably call him like that because you two are probably classmates, right? It's not like you're going to be the student council president just because you call him like that"
"... Yeah... I guess you're right"
She was troubled that she didn't know how to tell him that she actually was the president of the student council
---------------------------------
At the classroom, in between classes
<... My hand is killing me>
Takeru was holding his wrist as he felt another throbbing of pain from his good hand after the end of the class. Making some of his classmates look at him with weird gazes
"... Do you think he's having a case of chunnibyou?"
"Certainly... I mean, he's holding his hand that's covered in bandages and he's most likely using a hair dye on that streak of hair while using contact lenses with different colors, it's obvious that he's having a case of chunnibyou"
"And there's already that other one who's already a lost cause"
"... What's he doing?"
Takeru then cracked the joints of his last three fingers of his left hand and made an expression filled with pain
"Could it be that he just hurt his hand?"
"But what about his hair and eyes?"
As those two tried to figure out why he was looking like that, the school bell rang, and everyone went to their seats
"Alright, everyone. In your seats... I see, that you came without using that brown hair dye and those brown colored contacts, Tanaka-kun"
"Huh? Ah! Yeah, the dye bottle was empty and I broke my contact lenses this morning"
"Oh... Huuuh... Let's continue from where we stopped last class"
The homeroom teacher knew how Takeru actually looked, because he had seen his ID photo on the documents of his students, and he was also a very friendly guy. And the two classmates who were talking about him had disbelieved faces as they looked towards Takeru
"Hey! You two! pay attention to the class!"
" "Y, Yes!" "
-----------------------------------
How Takeru usually spends his free time in school (not in timely order)
Before the first class
*Listening to music with his earphone while reading a web novel*
"Have you seen president Yuriko-sama this morning?"
"Yes, yes, I did! She was looking so handsome like always"
"No, no! She was looking more handsome and cheerful than usual"
"Yeah, yeah, you're totally right! Maybe something good happened to her or to the student council"
"Do you think it could she fell in love with someone?"
" " "KYAAAAAAA!!!" " "
"!?" <... Why are they screaming?>
He only ended up hearing the girls' loud shriek and didn't know what they were talking about because of the music
--------------------------------------
A few minutes before the end of the lunch break
*Listening to music with his earphone while reading a light novel*
"Don't you guys think that President Nanami-senpai and the vice-president Yamamoto-senpai of the student council are going out?"
"Hmm... Maybe, I mean she's beautiful and he's quite handsome, so they definitely suit each other"
"Yeah, and when I saw those two together in the hallway, they appear to get along pretty well"
"Nope, you guys are wrong, I asked a senpai from the same club as I, and he said that those two are not going out"
"What! Really? How does he know?"
"Apparently a friend of his asked Yamamoto about that, and he denied with a red and flustered face"
"Oh!... Then that means I still have a chance to go out with her?"
"Ha! On your dreams, there's no way any of us, boys, can ever think of getting close to her"
"Yeah... That's true"
"... *Takes a little look outside the window*..." <Is that Nanami-senpai?>
Takeru didn't listen to anything that the group of boys was talking about because of the music
----------------------------------
Actual between classes
"..." *Travelling into deep useless thoughts*
"So what do you think of president Nanami-senpai?"
"The unreachable flower of the student council? That Nanami-senpai?"
"Yes"
"I think she's hot"
"I know, right. She's really hot, especially with those bombs of hers"
The boy was gesturing with both hands as if he was lifting something right in front of his chest
"Yup, yup... *Looks around* *Whisper* Did you bring the goods?"
"*Whisper* Yes"
The boy them stealthily slid a piece of paper towards his friend, and he looked at the content at the bottom
"*Impressed whistle* *Whisper* Here's the payment"
"*Whisper* Thanks, man"
They both hid their exchanged items inside their jackets, one hid the money he received, and the other hid the photo he received
*School bell ringing*
"!?" *Snaps out of his thoughts*
Takeru who was almost drooling was pulled back to reality by the school bell, and he didn't notice the two boys conversation that happened right on the desks in front of him
-----------------------------
Sometimes in between classes
"..." *Travelling into deep useless thoughts*
"President Yuriko-sama!"
"Yuriko-sama!"
"KYAAAAAAAA!!!"
"Nanami-senpai!?"
"Here!?"
"Easy, easy, everyone. One at a time and be brief, please. I still have to go back to my classroom" <...! Is that, Takeru-kun? He's probably thinking about something useless, and I don't want to cause trouble to him when I'm surrounded by people>
Yuriko listened to some of the first-year students before the school bell rang
------------------------
Between classes... Rarely
"..." <Arlight, I think I can do a little trip to the restroom>
Takeru then got up and left the classroom, and while he was gone Yuriko passed by his classroom
"Kyaaaaaaa! President Yuriko-sama! Please give me your autograph!"
"Yuriko-sama! I love you!"
"President Yuriko-sama!"
"Nanami-senpai is here!?"
"Say what!?"
"This is a chance to talk to her!"
"Calm down, everyone. Calm down, there's no need for all this ruckus, you all will end up causing a lot of trouble for the teachers"
Takeru meanwhile
"*Whistling*"
After doing his necessity and washing his hands
"! Ah! Yuriko-senpai, hello"
"Ara! Hello, Takeru-kun, good to see you again"
"Likewise"
They happened to pass by each other while there wasn't anyone else around, so they quickly exchanged greetings as they went back to their classrooms without stopping
(A/N Notes: A few days ago someone complained that this story had an awful rep. of genders, well... No s**t Sherlock that this story doesn't have a bunch of useless side characters of the LGBTQIA+ community. Just to add, I don't hate anyone of the LGBTQIA+ community, I'm just complaining about someone who complained about that in here, a story that doesn't have a political agenda of any sort)
