The Great Falling Plan from Down Under

Chapter 5

Is it just me, or that incident a while ago really tired me out? What's Miami even thinking?

"Hey, Alex"

Does she have a plan in motion? If that's the case, what? Is it something related to me?

"Earth to Alex."

Why would she even do something like this? Am I forgetting something very important? I'm sorry Miami, if that's the case. I don't know you too well.

"MISTER ALEX WINSTON!"

That shout made me go back to the real world. It was our professor, Teacher Fuyumi.

"Ma'am! It's 3 ohms!" I shouted back without even looking at the board. Electrical Physics is kind of boring. It is too easy.

"Be thankful that you are smart, or else I would've already punished you if your answer wasn't correct." Teacher Fuyumi said. "After you miraculously arrived to school, which is good, you are now just here, being a useless member of the society. What are you daydreaming about, anyway?"

I immediately denied about daydreaming and just pretended to listen to the lesson.

"Am I daydreaming, ma'am? Why would I do that? I need to listen to the lesson so that I could succeed in life, right?"

"Stop that philosophy, Alex." Teacher Fuyumi just replied without any care for my rhetoric question.

Class ended. After Teacher Fuyumi went out, Rozen Minali approached me, took out a piece of paper with a writing on it and asked a question.

"Say, how do you solve this equation?" Rozen asked.

"Stop bluffing, Rozen. You already know that." I replied.

"Come on!" Rozen protested. "Have some hospitality, will you? I don't know the answer to this."

I thought for a while.

"It's 22 ohms. So? What do you want to talk about?" I asked Rozen.

She was astonished by my statement. Was her cover blown? She lightly grinned.

"Fine, you got me." Rozen replied. "I have a question for you. Is there by any chance that you love someone?"

What is that meaning of that? Does she want to confuse me?

"Of course." I said.

"Who?" she asked back.

"My parents, my sister, my aunts, my uncles, my-"

"You're taking it too literally, you nitwit." Rozen protested.

How am I a nitwit?

"Huh?" I asked.

"I mean romance, you know. ROMANCE."

"Are you asking me if I like someone romantically?"

"Yes."

"Hmm...I think there is someone I liked." I said.

"Heh?" Rozen asked, seemingly excited. "Who? Who? Please tell me!"

"That one I like has a name of Rozen Minali." I promptly replied."Are you happy now?"

Rozen seemed dumbfounded and instantly blushed, trying hard to suppress it.

"W-what do you th-think you're saying, Alex?" she said. "Hahaha, that means y-you have no chance with me t-then...I already l-like so-someone."

"Ahh! I'm sorry I like you. You already like someone right?" I said, sarcastically pretending to be hurt. "You already like SHIERRA, right?"
