Eclipse

🌸🍵 Chapter 05 🌸🍵

Sakura stared at the young man in disbelief. She recalled the film she often watched in secret to practice her English. She knew that the character with that name was a man in his thirties or older, and the "boy" before her was definitely not him.

She decided to play along with whatever he was up to. Straightening her posture and meeting the redhead’s gaze, she felt a smile form in her mind when she saw him taken aback.

"Is that so? Well then, I shall introduce myself. My name is Sakura Haruka, nice to meet you Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio." She spoke in straight English causing Nirei to  look at Sakura in shock as his mind tries to translate what she just said.

"What did she just say?"
"I don't know I just understood the name and Leonardo something"
"I thought you know English?! Didn't you get a medal for best in English?!"
"I just did it for the grade!!"
"Apologize! Apologize to the others who tried their best!"

Sakura ignored her "classmate's" banter as she watched the redhead's smile falter, clearly not expecting her answer. Feeling satisfied she scoffed as she crossed her arms.

"Ah... I didn't think it would backfire on me like that. Well, I didn't know you can speak English quite well too so I guess this is on me." The eye patch guy said as he cleared his throat once more.

"Uh... You're Sou...right?" Nirei said as he tries to redefine the redhead who is very  from what he gathered. Seeing him joke around with his name, maybe he is actually a laid back person?

"That's what they call me, by the way this eye patch contains an ancient spirit that will cause havoc if removed." Sou said as he pointed at the leather eye patch with a smile.

"I didn't expect that there would be delinquent chuuni in this school. Well, I guess I should start getting used to being surprised to everything." Sakura said as Sou's smile faltered a bit. Nirei just sweat dropped at this and looked at Sou to say something but he shut his mouth once he saw the redhead's face change.

"Well that's enough about me, let's talk about you..." Nirei took a gasp in as Sou's tone changed, gulping heavily as the eye patch guy walked towards them. Sakura slowly squinted her eyes, leg widening preparing for a fight only to be surprised as he patted her back gently with his previous demeanour, smiling widely.

"I heard you fought a group of thugs single handedly yesterday and managed to stall them till the seniors arrived." Sakura blushed as Sou's loud voiced echoed around the room. Nirei himself looking at her in shock once more making Sakura clench her fists, waiting for the usual dissing comments.

"Fight?"
"I think it was on one of the streets, some thugs were causing havoc in that district yesterday"
"I heard about it from my granny, she said an unfamiliar face fought against the thugs causing trouble in the district."
"With that thin arms of hers? Wow"

Sakura looked at the room in disbelief, usually when her classmates hear about her fights it's always the opposite of how the class right now is acting. Some of them stood up and walked to the front seats, questions flowing out from their mouth before the last one.

"So, what made you think of joining the program in this school?" One of them asked her making everyone stare at her. Panicking, Nirei tried to avert their attention to something else but Sakura just looked at them dead on before answering tone determined and firm.

"To become the top" everyone stared at her in silence, some of them outright gaping Infront of her as they try to understand it completely while others just looks like they want to laugh it off, sensing the sudden change in the room, Sakura side stepped from where she had stood before a table flew beside her. Looking at the crashed table she looked at the door where a  long haired man stood, glaring at her with such intensity.
