A change

"Now everybody is seated and quiet. I'll hand out your name cards.", while saying this Iyan showed the name card. It had a silver colour and the form was rectangular.

"You should put in on a place where we can see it. I would recommend to put it a bit under your left shoulder. But it is your choice. On the name card only your first name will be present. Your last name isn't written but for people with the same name the first letter of their last name is written."

The teacher went through the name. If they were called they would step forward and accept their name card and put it on. Most of them put in the place that teacher Iyan mentioned.

"Lucius Chronoseus!", he called.

Lucius went to the teacher and accepted it and walked back to his seat and heard the teacher calling someone again.

"Narcys Des Belphegores!"

It was a name nobody heard before. Everybody looked around because nobody went to get their name card.

"Narcys Des Belphegores!", he called again.

Without anyone noticing Erebus took a gum and threw it to the boy beside Lucius.

The boy felt it and the face that was on the desk went looking for the person responsible for this. But before he could say something Iyan called for the third time and you could hear that he was getting impatient.

In the end the boy went to gey his name card while being glared by the teacher.

"Like you guys heard he is Narcys Des Belphegores. He wasn't here when we introduced each other because he was busy with something else so introduce yourself when you guys have time."

With that Iyan introduced him.

The boy walked back and once again began sleeping or pretending to sleep.

With that the teacher once again called the names of the students.

Once everybody got their name cards it was time for something else.

"We are now going to choose the class president. You guys should know what their job is so... Who wants to be the class president?"

The class was silent. It was so silent you could hear a pin fall.

"*SIGH*", Iyan expected this. Nobody likes to do extra work for no reason so he didn't expect that a lot of people would like to be the class president but he hoped that at least one person would like to become it.

"If nobody volunteers I will chose my-"

Before he was done talking someone put her hand in the sky and called teacher.

"I think Lucius would be a good class president. He is a nice guy and seems someone everybody can rely one."

Everybody thought it was true. Lucius looked like a good guy and gave them a good impression. He looks like somebody they could count on and easy to hang out with.

People raised their hands one after another to say that they don't mind him being the class president.

The person who was recommend was surprised. He didn't know why they thought he would be a good president and actually he didn't really want to become it. He wasn't as confident in himself like the others where.

But he didn't say anything. After always going along with everything and never choosing something himself he didn't know how to say no to someone. And it wasn't one person that wanted him to become it but almost the whole class.

Without noticing everybody actually forced Lucius to become it. The pressure they made, made it hard for people to say no to.

Erebus noticed that Lucius didn't seem to say anything. He didn't say he would become it or wouldn't be it. He just sat there with a smile like he didn't mind that everybody was making a choice for him. Like he was used to this. Used that people would make the decision for him.

He didn't like what is happening so he shoved his chair backwards and slammed his hand on the desk and said: "Who are you guys to make his-"

"Can you just shut up."

But when he talked someone seemed to talk too. They spoke at the exact time. But while Erebus stopped talking when he heard someone else talking but the other did like he didn't hear Erebus talking and just talked further.

"He didn't even say anything but you guys are doing like he already accepted. You guys are so annoying that I even could hear you in my sleep."

Everybody was silent. They all didn't realize that they were actually forcing someone. They really didn't realize it. But somehow it sounded more like he was complaining about the fact that they woke him up. But that's not true, right?

"The teacher asked someone to volunteer not to force someone because you guys think he would be a good class president. And you can see he doesn't want to be it, right? If he wanted to be one he would already accepted instead being silent for so long. So choose someone else and shut up."

The class was silent because they really didn't know how to react. It seems like he defended Lucius but somehow they all think he cared more about his sleep. Like if they were silent and forced someone he wouldn't care.

So they were happy that someone broke the silent.

"First of all, can you sit down already Erebus."

Now everybody included Erebus realized that he still was standing. Most people would be embarrassed but Erebus wouldn't. He is someone who doesn't know the shame. He would even fight a child if he thinks the child was wrong. So standing out in the class wasn't really much.

"Yes teacher.", he said and sat down once again on his chair.

"So what Narcys said is actually true. You guys didn't realize you were actually pressuring someone. It is good that you are enthusiast about it but you should listen to his opinion. So Lucius, do you want to be the class president?"

Lucius was stuck. He didn't know what to say. It was his chance to reject it but he was afraid that the class would hate him for not being it.

He sat still. He didn't even move. He sat there like he was a sculpture. Not moving, no expression just like that.

But he decided, decided to change .

He clenched his fist and spoke with a small voice that nobody would have heard if the class wasn't as silent as now.

"I-", he started.

"I don't want to be the class president…"

He thought people would look disappointed at him or maybe scold him but in reality nobody really cared. It was their fault to begin with. They shouldn't have forced him like that.

"Thank you for answering, Lucius.", Iyan smiled at Lucius.

He saw that he was nervous and a bit scared to speak his mind. Even when he tried to hide it. You could sense it. He could sense it. His feeling were so strong that he could feel it from the front. People who could read emotion would felt it. Lucius feelings.

"So does someone want to be the class president?", he once again asked.
