Chapter 1: It Really Is An Unworthy Wrongmance
It was autumn, yet the cold weather has yet to dissipate. Few months from now and winter will enter, it would be time for the students of Kamiyama Gakuen to wear their long sleeves usually worn from the span of December til' March, which Spring season is still colder than the usual winter.
This year's winter will be snowy... Time to bring extra jacket by then.. Is what was in Yu-chan's mind.
Yuukihiko Tanaka. Second year high-school. Academics ate top-notch while in the contrary, his physical abilities are beyond saving. He is a shut-in and a novelist who's identity is hidden. He does not have too many friends. He chose to be like that. More friends, more trouble. Is what he usually makes an excuse when his best-friend asks him why he does not ask for some people to be his friend.
That is truly the case, but not all of that. He just feels that asking people to be his friend would be stupid enough. They might think they are special because someone is asking them to be friends with them. A stranger on that point. They might boost their self-confidence and brag about how popular they were.
That is what Yu-chan hates the most. People being ignorant and arrogant to the situation.
Yu-chan stared blankly beyond the glass window while laying his chin in his left hand. Staring blankly at the rain that is heavier than his thoughts. At this point, he would totally look like a statue with blank eyes and would get laughed at. However, he did not care about such triffling matters. All he wanted was to do what he wants. He does not care about others, including his friends.
"The rain does not really seems to cease any sooner.."-with his blanked eyes he mumbled. "I guess I'll just run to the nearby station if the rain won't go any slower.."-he added.
The nearest station in Kamiyama Gakuen is probably the new established station; Harusaka Station. It was a bullet train that targets students from nearby school. Even if it was said as "near", it is still 2 and a half kilometers away.
Yu-chan sigh internally. How dumb could I be for forgetting my umbrella? He told himself internally. If I were to write a novel, I'd probably name myself captain dumb. He added.
His blank eyes dug deeper, but recovered after seeing a certain person. His blood boiled just by glancing at that person, which later did not took a long time before exchanging glances with him.
"Tch!"-even if she exclaimed that word it was as silent as a smooth whisper.
She looked up to the second floor window as she did that. There, Yu-chan's blank eyes turned into lively stocks of mocking gazes with the grin of a victor. No wonder why Chi-chan was mad.
Chitose Aoyama. Second year high-school, different class from Yu-chan. Excelled in both Academics and PhEd, praised by many, and has a long standimg feud between Yu-chan. Seeing Chi-chan get wet in the rain is the utmost pleasure to Yu-chan. They are like cats and dogs between heaven and earth.
Chi gripped her fist as hard as she could and entered the school building. She was greeted by curios eyes about what had happened to her. In school, she is treated as the onee-chan of the girls and queen of the boys. But in Yu's eyes, she is a bug flying up and down through his eyes.
Her steps were solid and heavy. Her frustrations had ate her up whole that she left tracks wherever she steps through, wherever she head to. Even the cleaning personnel was shocked by Chi's sudden movements. A scary and intimidating aura has wrapped her whole.
Meanwhile..
Yu knows what would happen next so he calmly walked out from the classroom, wearing the grin of victory. Seeing how wet Chi was, it made Yu's blank heart produce a very heartwarming wrapper.
Yu casually walked in the halls despite knowing how fast Chitose is. She knows Chitose well, but in exchange, Chitose knows her so well. They both could take the advantage and disasvantages of this feat, however, Chitose was not as clever as Yuukihiko, and was not as cowardly as him.
Yuuki had decided to use this for a very long time. A hideout Chitose would not dare to enter, that is why he is going to retreat..
To the..
Boy's toilet!! *Victory Song*
With head held up high, Yuuki entered the restroom and hid in the last room of the Men's Restrooms.
Haa. He sigh peacefully as to release the bad effects of this boring day that passed through. If Chitose were to find him, which normally is found in the classroom's broom storage, he would be hanged and beaten before he could go home.
So having this victory was a satisfying feat. Having to hide in such murky and secluded tight space was horror. So now that he could breath more peacefully was a nice thing.
However..
In the middle of Yuuki's victory charade, he seems to remember something he had forgot.
A very important thing that he cannot afford to lose. And that is.. His bag with a padlock which contains his novel drafts!
If that were to be found, Yuuki would be in much trouble. But if he were to go out, he'll be in more trouble. He is sitting duck in this moment. Anxiety filled his head. He cannot concentrate.
The sliding door opened. Oda-sensei brushed his newly cut beard as he searched for 2 persons of interest, which could drastically helps with his progress of experiment.
Oda-sensei walked down the halls. It was quiet and only the heavy rain was to be heard. I guess the students are dormant if the weather is nigh. How calming, and scary.. Oda-sensei monologued as if the students were monsters in RPGs. Still, I wonder if those 2 are the same as the rest... He continued.
Oda-sensei noticed some footprints while walking through the halls. His lips bent into a thin smile while his glasses shone along with the fall of lightning. Oda-sensei knows who's footprint these are, and no doubt it was his target.
He continued searching for his prey. He knows just where to find his targets, that is why he went to a certain classroom and stopped in front of the sliding door.
Within the doorstep rumbles could be heard. It was so different from the quietly dormant rooms he passed through earlier. This room has some cliché in it, and he just know what lies ahead of this room.
It would seems that I hit a jackpot.. He grinned into himself. With the sliding door slowly opened, the face of Yuuki and Chitose, greatly struggling, were seen in a weird manner that even Oda-sensei, the teacher who always witness their feud, was confused by what he just saw.
At the guidance office.
The room was dark. The light was not busted but it is now afternoon, which was accompanied by the chilly cold and gloomy sky that produced rainfalls, the room was dark. It intentionally was turned off due to the fact that Oda-sensei wants to have some mood to start discussing the subject. And so lightning passed through the window, making Oda-sensei looked like a scary anime protagonist who has some serious power. He looked so cool in both of their perspective, and scary at the same time.
"So.."-Oda began to talk. It made Chitose and Yuuki's body tremble in fear. Normally, when they get to this room, they are scolded severely of what they had done previously. This was no different, they both thought while getting ready to point fingers in each other.
"I want to ask a favor of you two.."
"It was him!", "It was her!"
Both sang the accusement song in unison while pointing fingers. Lightning fell down again accompanied by the thunder. Oda's expression did not changed. Thus continuing what he was about propose.
"As you can see, this school is knowned to have produced wealthy students which soon marries their fellow alumnis of this school and become successful people. It was an unexpected yet a valuable achievement of this school. As you know as well that Kamiyama Gakuen has a long standing history of a golden 50 years of service, thus giving college degrees in different fields with the name of our school."
"Um.. That certainly is news to me."-Chitose worded her confusion, followed by Yuuki who worded the same, in unison, thus started another fight.
"Ahem!"-Oda pretended to clear his throat to calm the situation down, and continued his proposal. "We do not know if this school has something in relation with this topic, thus we are determined to figure it out since there are still doubts of it. We cannot claim this feat by name unless we do something about it, thus establishing a club which supports student romance."
"Student romance?"
"What exactly is that club?"
"It is called as 'Love Committee'. It is a club aimed to help students with their relationship troubles and the such."
"Ah. So does it have anything to do with us?"
"Don't tell me..-"-Yuuki had a doubt after what Oda had said. And his eyes went wide after Oda's next words.
"Yes. You two are the chosen coordinators of the newly found club. Be honored for such job."
Both of them were speechless, their eyes went blank. Oda rose up from his chair and was ready to leave the room. Chitose had her mind running first before Yuuki can do so, to word her doubt, but before she did so;
"And oh, you cannot refuse this job, since your names are in the expulsion list."
Thus starts their very unmatched teamwork against the odds of High-school Romance.
