Club Crisis, Annoying Parents, Enlightening Shower and The Message
Even if I already knew the school by the book, I feel like I would be doing an injustice to my past self. With the four of us on a journey throughout the school, it allowed me to reconnect with them much sooner than I expected. Well it was mostly them asking me questions about myself and where I came from. In terms of where I came from I just said "Down south". The questions about myself well… It was mostly Lia.
Her main questions were about anime such as "What anime is your favourite?", "Do you read manga?", "Who's your waifu?" and "Do you cosplay?" I couldn't necessarily think of a real answer for most of them so I answered with whatever was the most popular. In terms of the last question I answered honestly and I've never seen someone so happy hearing someone say they cosplay. "YOSHAAAA! You NEED to come cosplaying with me. There's a convention happening nearby in about two weeks." "Yeah sure…" She transcended to a higher level of happiness.
My other two companions ignored the ruckus and continued to walk along the path leading to the year 10 area. Another thing I'm glad about is that I've been sent literally a year back in time as well. I was in year 11 and this week would be the start of my exams. I'm glad I have time to fix my mistakes as I know I would have failed.
We arrived at the year 10 area. The whole area is basically the pathway to the second building. A huge roof of glass connects the main building to the second, providing the people walking under it protection from the rain. There is a secondary glass roof placed next to it where an eating area resides. Wooden tables and benches have been placed in 3 columns. At the bottom right in the center is what is described as the "Pod". It is the place where they serve food. Food from the main kitchen is transported here just for us to enjoy.
Inside the second building is where the extra language classrooms are. I don't mean something like Bonjour, je déteste ma vie parce que c'est nul, I mean english language. Story writing, letters, news articles. Apparently that's what this school specialises in. Did I also forget to mention this is where my form is, sorry about that.
We arrived in front of the club board. These are mostly student run clubs with little to no teacher involvement, which means these clubs are the hangout spots of quite the bad people. Fortunately for me, I didn't have to join one of these clubs before. Serena revealed something I wish I never heard: "It's now mandatory to join at least one club."
All three of us turned our heads to Serena. "NANDATOO!? Serena-chan.. are you joking?" Lia openly showed her disbelief. "I would prefer it if you don't add anything to my name, but yes the student council has voted and the majority believe it to be good for the entire student body."
I've always hated the school council, except Serena of course. They always make the worst decisions and they think they're above everyone else. They like spoiled rich kids that aren't even rich… I guess they would be spoiled children… yup.
Even though Joe hadn't said anything I know he objects to it. I wanted to calm everyone down so I thought of a 189 IQ idea, "Why don't we just start our own club?" They all thought about it and eventually agreed, well Lia agreed to it instantly praising me for my sudden genius.
One problem, "As much as I'd like to join your club, a student council member can't join a club." That was quite the problem. To form a club you must need four members and we just lost our fourth member. "Crap." An unexpected response from Joe brought me and Lia away from our complaining. "We're going to have to solve it later, break is over." The bell rang again and we all agreed to think about it later. To be honest, my biggest concern is getting through the rest of the day.
- End of The Day -
I thought something bad would have happened, especially during lunch time, but I had nothing to worry about. In the rest of the classes I'd been placed next to decent people so I had no reason to complain. I did hear a couple rumours about me, thankfully they weren't too malicious. They were only really about my looks or being sat next to/interacting with the person they fancy in class.
I was at the entrance ready to leave when I heard another scream directed at me. "Chotto matte! Wait for me, my nakama!" I didn't even need to turn around to see who it was. Lia jumped onto me like a koala holding onto a tree. "Don't forget to message me when you get home alright? As a matter of fact I'll create a group chat, with me, your nakama as the almighty leader." I agreed.
We walked together, chatting about similar things as before. Our main topic being cosplay and the convention in 2 weeks time. I'll have to ask mum and dad first.
We split up at the traffic lights, she gave me a goodbye hug which kind of scared me. Do all girls do this? I got a little flustered and she obviously noticed. She looked at me with a face that said 'I've found your weakness, watch your back' in the least menacing way possible.
I tried to forget that feeling as I had arrived home. Opening the door, all my worries flew away in the blink of an eye. Even if my worries had been washed away another problem had arrived, the toilet. On a daily basis I would suffer as all my insides are screaming for what is locked inside to be released and would be farting. Disgusting… I know, you don't have to tell me.
The only thing stopping me from releasing it is the judgement you receive from those in your class, the way people view you plummet to an almost inhuman level. Not only should you not fart in class, in no way should you do a number two. I learned that the hard way when someone in the year above made fun of me for it in front of a girl I liked. (A/N: This is not a true story just in case you are wondering)
Alright I'm sorry I shouldn't be talking about something like that, what if someone is eating. Gomenasai!
- One Toilet Break Later -
As much as I'd like to put it behind me… I miss excalibur. He was always there for me, he stood up for me in times of need when no one else did. Compared to the first day, I have gotten used to this feeling............….. moving on.
I normally have two hours of free time before both parents come home, so it gives me the perfect opportunity to relax without having to deal with their nonsense. I listened to Lia's request and messaged her.
The group chat that Lia wanted to make is up and running. She didn't have Serena's number so I had to give it to her. On the other hand she did have Joe's, not surprising when I know they are both childhood friends. Despite Lia's loud and somewhat annoying personality, she was always there for Joe and in turn he was too.
I'm somewhat confused by the name 'Lia's Night Raid' then I realised why she chose that name. She loves Akame. Her long black hair, red eyes I bet she practically wishes she could become her… "become her", yeah I'd know all about that wouldn't I? If Lia had gotten this opportunity, would she be more grateful than I was?
I was forced to push those thoughts away when the front door opened, I wasn't sure who exactly it was as both mum and dad normally come home at the same time. The loud steps gave me an answer. My dad walked in as if he came back from a war, he hasn't but that's what it looks like.
"Yo squirt!" Immediately I'm pissed off. I'm not even that small, granted now I am smaller, but he would still call me that when I was 5 '11 in my old body. He's just jealous because I'm young.. probably.
"How was your new school? Made some friends? Found someone you like?" As much as I love him, he never shuts up. I'm not too sure what mum saw in him that would make her love him despite him being so annoying.
Before he could pursue any other questions, mum barged in with a bag of chinese takeaway in hand. "Look who's brought home some food!" Dad ran up to her and hugged her. They started having some husband and wife conversation, "Go get a room, you two." They half heartedly apologised "We'll continue this later.. alright honey" God will these guys stop.
- One Annoying Meal Later -
That was some good rice, I'll tell you that. Even with the random annoying conversations from my parents it was quite the enjoyable meal. Rice and curry, mixed with spring onions, chicken and regular onions. I am satisfied. I was able to ask if I could go with Lia to the convention in two weeks and they happily agreed.
I excused myself from the table and went upstairs to prepare for a shower and oh boy is it going to be difficult. Why? Well for the past few days I've never actually looked at myself naked. I know you would say something like "Take for the team and do it" or "Be a man and look.", but it's precisely because I used to be a boy. As much as I want to look, my dignity is holding me back.
But… That's about to change… I will face the unknown, with my eyes wide open.
- After The Face Off Between Destiny -
People say that to become enlightened you must pray, but I disagree. The sights I have just seen have forced me to become enlightened. I cannot fully describe the experience as it will break the code of the enlightened. Big, Soft and Holy. I must not say anymore, as I fear they will come for me.
<Weird-Mode Off>
Well that was definitely easier than I expected. After drying myself I put on a set of fluffy white pjs, they felt so comfy. I was going to go back downstairs to get a drink when a series of beeps were released across my bedroom. I investigated it and found that it was my phone. Despite the many beeps it was a single message. It was a message from someone named "Theo", just a single message that read… "Are you enjoying yourself?"

A/N: I know I said I was going to do this tomorrow, I really surpassed my limits so I could rest tomorrow. I skipped most of the tour as most people know what is in a school, also it would be quite boring. A weird message? Welp sorry you will have to find out the truth later. About the whole shower thing… as much as I would have liked to go into detail the power above would not like it. Probably gonna say this every time, but thank you for the support.
