Chapter 5
Time has passed and nobody feels like eating. The break is not intended for eating. We have enough time at home to quickly fill up our stomachs. I'm not even hungry yet, so I'm happy not to be forced to eat. It may not be that easy later, but you have to live with that.
"Do we all want to run in a group?" Asks Isamu enthusiastically. Right. Now we have to explore the clubs ... We go class wise, but a group is definitely not that bad. You always have people around you whom you at least know. When Isamus asked, there was an enthusiastic nod. Everyone seems to be happy. "You can also come with us! I am sure nobody here has anything against it!", Yoshi says to me. Isn't that a little too many? I mean ... If I get to it now, it feels like all the boys in the class and me! People! I want to run from you guys now! Nevertheless, everyone nods and some ask me again: "Run with us in our group! Please!" Finally, I nod. If they don't annoy me anymore, then I'll be happy to go along with them. During the lunch break, I will then retire ...
After I agreed with my nod, the bell rings again. First, everyone wants to go back to the classroom. The teacher must have already said something about where we should go, but apparently, the 'nerds' want to get insured again. Why do I call people nerds? I don't know, I could call them Schleimer, which would fit even better. Mrs. Yoshido is still in the room. "Ahhh, you can start already. And don't forget! First in the computer room," she said to us. I'll take my bag with me. Just to be on the safe side, of course. After the time the bullying started, I got into the habit of not trusting my bags to anyone.
So that's how I start walking. With the boys ... At first, I try to stay in the background, but it doesn't work as I thought it would. Isamu and Yoshi are always close to me. My attempts to stay a little behind the group make no sense. They both notice it immediately when I run a little slower. Immediately reduce their pace and stay with me. This means that I am always in the middle of the group. Hooray. Why did I agree to come here again? Oh yes, they were too annoying. There was something.
The way to the room is only a short one, but it feels like we've been walking for an eternity. We enter the room and immediately you notice: all the girls are already there. A new one seems to have come along ... I know the black hair with the turquoise strands from somewhere ... "There it is! Why did you insult my friends for no reason, yes, WITHOUT REASON?", Immediately I recognize this voice again. As I was lucky enough to expect, it is Kumiko. Why is she always in my class? What did I do wrong? If she's there ... how will this year be? I don't think Kumiko will let what I've been doing ... Oh god! What have I got myself into ?!
"Hey Gurl ~, she even had a very good reason, in case you don't know the real story," Yoshi says with such a chilling voice that it seems like he's just someone watching the action. Why is he helping me? I don't even know him ... And he doesn't know me ... "And you? Were YOU there? No? Then you can't assess that either!", Kumiko slowly tells himself. I was just about to say something like: 'You weren't there yourself!', But Isamu is faster: "Not him, but I was! So please leave her alone, even if you don't like her!" The girl falls silent ... Either she is speechless now ... OR ... Can it be? Can this girl who bullied me since kindergarten fall in love now? A shine comes into their eyes. Yes! It has to be like that! Kumiko seems to have fallen completely in love with Isamu! I mean ... Maybe then she'll finally grow up ... Isamu doesn't seem like the type of monkey-like that. Nevertheless, it could be a very difficult time for me ... Under all circumstances, she will try to get this boy on her side. As far away from me as she can. Fortunately, these people who kill for their love only exist in books! Or? ... Haven't I heard a true case of it before? Let's just hope she's not that kind of person.
"What kind of a club is this actually?", Yoshi asks me now calmly. Why am I being asked that? Can't he reason or just read? We're in a computer room, Yoshi! Now think about it ... What kind of club can this be? "Wasn't that on the door?" Says Isamu. Already a correct thought ... It said on the door what kind of club it is. Anyone who can read has a clear advantage! The two continue to discuss what is about to happen here. This infects the whole class. Some seem to know who we might even see here in a moment... Sometimes people even know who goes to which club! Since when do you always know so many students from the upper classes? I don't know any ... Isamu and Yoshi are slowly getting annoying because they keep poking me and want to know what I think, what's coming up, and what kind of club this is. Slowly the barrel is overflowing and I mean annoyed: "If you don't know, then it's your fault! The teacher said that you can deduce it and it was actually on the door! Besides, you'll see it right away anyway! " Only the two boys and the girly group can hear my hissing who has now sat down next to Isamu. Yoshi, sitting on the other side next to me.
The guys just laugh and react ... I think I'm too small for that. The girls, however, look hostile to me. This girly group is a case in itself. However, I will never forget the look from Kumiko. He is full of disgust. Her put-on smile, what she usually puts on, is not in the slightest to be seen.
I know what a fake laugh looks like ... At first, I always smiled ... Until it stopped working on some days. Most of the time, the smile is only used on the job. At the moment, however, I am helping the cook to cook. At least I am allowed to do that because my cooking skills are not that bad after all! Because everyone knows each other there, it is even easier for me to re-register quickly. I am very grateful for that.
