12 12 - (Naomi) You know, family is family.
...
Before we left the council room student , I left the room taking the document to the club's requests for the analysis of teachers , while Sebastian loads our backpacks. Some members are still in the room, but they are cleaning up before it left. But Sebastian and I go ahead.
- Do you want me to carry it ?
- You don't have to. I can carry.
- But don't you think there's a lot?
- Well, it's not heavy for me.
My physical strength has increased after I got back from the other world, then these kinds of things involving m using my strength or effort seem much easier than before. Of course, it doesn't take away the fact that I can't exaggerate at times.
- OK. If it weighs too much , you can share it with me.
- Okay , but you are not in the best condition to say that it is easy there for you.
- Nothing . The most that will happen to me is a slight tiredness on the coast that one lying on a bed resolves .
- Don't push too hard. - "Look who says!"
And forget that Sebastian has a physical condition healthy too to feel this kind of fatigue. I remember that he once carried two boxes full of weight training materials from the sports court to the nearest pantry, and those two places were a little distant from each other. I think they were trying to trick him into making fun of him, but I think it didn't work.
...
As we walked to the teacher's room, we ended up passing in front of some rooms in some of the school's clubs . Due to the number of people here, it seems very busy , but that is why it is mandatory to participate , at least, 1 day in some extracurricular activity . But when we passed the Club of Supernatural Studies, Sebastian stopped for a second.
- Sebastian?
- Oh, yes?
- What's it?
- Nothing, just ... distract me.
Sebastian walks again and I quickly look around the room. I see some yellow ornaments on the windows , some strange books on a table and 4 students inside. But why did he stop? He has been here many times and never stopped to see the clubs ...
- Naomi?
- Oh sorry. I'm going.
I went back to walk beside him, and have realized that Sebastian is doing one strange look.
- Are you interested in the club? - I think that's it.
- Oh no. It's just ... their club is a little different.
- Well, did you expect such a club to be normal?
- Not normal. I expected something more "profane".
- (speaking quietly) Prejudiced ...
- Is not it! It's just ... When they spoke that club there in the room, they said it was something grotesc them had a dark atmosphere , and they miraculously get a room in the main building. Of course I didn't believe it, but that doubt remained.
- Well, after the change you had there, let's say it was more pleasant for new members ...
- Pleasant?
- Yes. The room was much darker and had some decorations that made the room "profane" as you would say. But some students did not like and did a petition for the club to be more consistent with the school's image.
- Ah, perfect way to promote inequality and disgust of these things.
- Well, at the time, I thought that nothing should be done because all clubs have their autonomy to decide how they will be decorated according to their proposal, but after what happened to one of the club members last year, the way was doing it that way.
- Wait ... Was it that incident of those crazy girla from 2nd year?
- Yes. It seems that one of the members ... Claire, if I'm not mistaken ... She was taking the trash from some rooms to the trash. You know, the weekly room chores. And from what I was told, some students threw red dye at her and kept calling her "Carrie" until another member of the club arrived in time and pulled Claire out of there.
- Wow...
- I was horrified too, but I was very sorry for Claire. She was just participating in her club's activities and she was treated that way.
- What happened next?
- Well, the father of one of the girls defended his daughter saying that that club goes against their religious principles and that old talk . And as he made high donations to school, the girls who did that were only suspended for 3 days. Claire ...
- What happened to her?
- Well, she didn't go to class for 1 week. When she appeared, she had cut that big hair out of her and became quieter in the activities of the room. Of course she didn't stop going to the club, but that member who took her out of that situation said that she was not motivated to do things. It took a while for her to become more active there.
- Unbelievable.
- Yeah. Because of this, the club became less active and stopped receiving any maintenance money until they moved. It took a while, but the club members changed the atmosphere of the club room and even without the money, they started bringing things from their homes and materials to continue with the club.
- So even that wasn't enough to stop them.
- When you have something you like and strive for it, we do what we can, don't you think?
- I agree.
- I think I said a lot, right?
- Relax. It was nice to know that.
- Nice to know that a girl was bullied?
- No! I mean, to know this situation completely.
- Yeah...
- It's just that I don't understand why people are still afraid or angry about things they don't know. Sometimes it is good to see the other side of things or new things.
- Well, I would be willing to do that if it were easy. - I mean by practice ...
- Easy ... Not everything is ...
- At least, the club staff know that it is not easy. And I'm glad to know that they stayed together ~~
- ( laughs ) Now I think you're interested in the club.
- Yeah. As the student council president, it is my duty to watch over what is happening to students and whether they are following the rules.
- But without hitting them, for a change.
- Hey!
* pushing Sebastian slightly
- My bad. Sorry.
- Now I accept ~~
After this long conversation, Sebastian and I ended up arriving in front of the teachers' room and he decided to open the door for me to enter.
- Look, I'll take a little while.
- Okay. I wait here.
- OK then. I'll see if I accelerate.
- Okay, President Naomi ~~
...
04: 20 PM
After a few minutes, I finished talking to the teachers and ended up going with Sebastian out of the school. I ended up commenting to him about my mother going to talk to his mother and he ... Did he look like "Really?" and because of that, we ended up staying inside the school until it was the right time for them not to start saying "Get a room for you two" ... And now here we are, on a staircase that connects the main building of the school with the school sports court, watching students pass by .
- So, Naomi ... When you were on the phone at that time ... - It was obvious that he was going to ask.
- It was Nozomi. Asking about my mom.
- I didn't say she ...
- I didn't say where she was.
- I see ...
...
- Have they spoken after what happened?
- No ... not yet. And I don't think she'll want to talk to me for a long time.
- Already tried?
- Well, in the messages, she was very direct, so ... There's not much to do.
- I understand. But you know ... I think you should understand each other soon.
- Why do you think that?
- You know, family is family. You can kill yourself, but in the end you love each other. I know that in your case, without being offensive, are very tense, but I think you, she and your parents must be thinking about it. Even complicated, you are connected by this union.
- If it were that simple, I would agree, but you know it is not so.
- I know, but does that prevent you from trying to do the best you can to keep the rest of the happiness you can still have between you?
...
- It's too naive to think about it, Sebastian.
- I know, but being realistic and simply accepting that it's over is not the best option. At least for me, it isn't.
It's always such naiveté that makes me envy his family ...
- I'll think about it ...
- From your face, I don't think you liked what I said.
- Is not it. It's just that you say those obvious things that don't make me feel convinced .
- I told you. Problems are only complicated because people insist on it, because from time to time, the obvious answer may be the best option.
- Say it to Nozomi and she will slap you harder than what she gave me.
- It's easier for her to break her fingers than to slap her hard.
- Do you want to take a chance?
- ( laughs ) Who knows ...
...
After a few minutes, we started to see some students leaving the sports court, heading towards the bathrooms that are next to the court.
* covering Sebastian's eyes
- ( laughs ) Ah ... Naomi, I won't be look drying the girls.
- Not you dry them, but they dry you.
- Huh? I'm not all sweaty to get someone's attention.
- Who said it is necessary you are sweaty for some malicious girl to take your purity?
- Oh, Mom. I am grown up to know that when I am getting into a van because of sweets it is a sign that something is wrong.
- Hehe ~~ Okay, son ...
- Amazing. From anger out of jealousy to hidden encounters on the school stairs. Great progress, Naomi.
Out of nowhere, I hear Stella behind the two of us, looking with a "I got you guys" face.
- (pretending) I knew. You were angry ... Ah my heart betrayed in a thousand pieces ...
- Dramatic ... / - "WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?"
- Can I sit here with you?
- You can, Stella. / - "Go away!"
Stella sits right in the middle of Sebastian and me, putting her head on my shoulder, looking at the sports court.
- Am I so predictable as to know where I am? - No, Sebastian ...
- No. I saw you two together before I left the main school building. And why are you too lazy to take Naomi somewhere "cooler".
- (speaking quietly) STELLA! / - "STELLA, YOU..."
- I don't know if I'm offended or relieved by what you said.
- I thought you were going with Ian today. / - "That's right!"
- I was going, but he ended up hanging out with a group of friends from the journalism club . And here I am. Alone, desolate, discouraged ...
- Then I'm the one who's dramatic.
- Sebastian, don't tease me!
- But Stella, why didn't you go with him? - Sebastian is also curious ...
- I didn't want to ruin his afternoon .
-How cute ~~
* Stella kicking Sebastian lightly
- I admit he is right, Stella ~~
- Stop!
These three are a separate comedy. I find it very pleasant to see them talking in such a normal way and at the same time calm. But part of it is something so cool ...
